DISTRICT DEMOCRATS.
A Well-Attended and Harmonious “none
at Arlen Bail. Over which Colonel Leslie
Smith resettled—Benoit of the Balloting
for the Various candidates In the Field.
Promptly at 8 o’clock, last evening,
Richard 3. Golden, chairman of the De
necrotic town committee, called to order
the citizens of the Second voting district
of that persuasion. who had assembled in
goodly number in Ariou Hall, to elect
delegatesto the various conventions to
be held the coming month. Charles
R. Townsend nominated as chairman
of the meeting Colonel Leslie Smith,
which was seconded and carried unani-
mously, and ex-Councilman John
McMahon moved that R. H. Golden be
elected clerk, which also passed without
adisseuting vole. Mr. Smith thanked
the voters for the honor, hoped they
would make a good selection of dele-
, gates, and appointed John McMahon and
William B. Wilcox tellers. The caucus
then proceeded to ballet for delegates
to the State convention, to be held in
New Haven, the 25th inst., with the fol-
lowing result:
Whole number cast, 41.

Colonel Smith was declared elected.
At this point Mr. Donovan said there
were some in the too who had no right
to vote. He made a motion that every-
deposit is ballot in view of the tellers.
When James Gsifney was about to cast a
ballot, Mr. Donovan challenged his right,
claiming he had not been a resident in
the district for at least a year, and that
he had moved his family to another town.
Mr. Gafiney protested, claiming that he
had been a resident here all along; that
he had only been away a few months at
a time, returning here two months ago,
still had his furniture here, and that his
wife was only away visiting. When Mr.
Gaifney had finished, Justice Barrett
arose and stated that as a member of the
trade to which the previous speaker be-
longed,.he knew fora fact that be had
changed his residence to another town for
business reasons. The chair then decld~
ed that Mr. Gaffuey was disqualified from
voting.
Another ballot resulted as follows:
Whole number cast, 52.

Again there was no choice, and on
motion the clerk deposited a ballot each
for Rufus J. Smith and George W. Car-
roll, and the chairman declared them
elected.
The County delegation being next in
order, Charles R. Townsend said he
would place in nomination the name of
a man whose democracy had never been
questioned, and whose devotion to pub-
lic duty and honesty of purpose had en-
deared him to the public without regard
to party—William Vollmer. The nomi-
nation was received with decided mani-
festations of approval, but Daniel Pow-
ell, of Rowayton, objected on the ground
that the procedure was not in accor-
dance with Democratic principles. J.
Donovan then moved, as an amendment,
that an informal ballot be taken, which
was carried by a vote of fifty-four to
twenty-four. The ballot resulted as fol-
lows:
Whole number, 77.

ON Till! CONSOLIDATED ROAD.
lame Idea of the Work now in Progress
Near Bpringwood, and an Outline of the
Company's Plans In Elevating its Tracks
Through South Norwalk.
The work on the four-tracking opera-
tions at Springwood continues to excite
the interest of a large number of people.
and hundreds view the work every day.
The six hundred square yards of stone
retaining wall on each side of the tracks,
from Spring street east'to the out where
the Danbury tracks go under the Consoli-
dated rood, is well under way. It is a
very substantial structure, its foundation
being five feet in width, and the wall
batters until at the top it is a iittlelese
than three feet in width. In some places
whole has a capping of cut brown stone,
which makes a decidedly pretty finish.
The wall is, to be permanent. It is built
about ten feet away from the present
tracks on each side, and the space boo
tween the masonery and the rails has
been filled in with earth and stones
taken from the cut at Springwoodr
where the new iron bridge is to be built,
replacing the old wooden one which was
recently removed.
From the Danbury tracks east to Mon-
roe street. a great amount of work will
be done. but it is to be only temporary,
as the tracks are to be raised from a point
near the Danbury tracks when the proper
time comes to elevate the road through
South Norwalk. in this connection The
SENTINEL is at liberty to state that some-
thing definite will be done in this matter
in a short time, although none of the va-
rious plans made have, as yet. been ap
proved by Chief Engineer Curtis. We
are informed, however, on good nuthori
ty, that the tracks through the business
part of the city will be elevated about
seventeen feet, and one additional track
will be put in from the Washington
street crossing west, to connect with the
four tracks at Springwoo l, as the pres-
eit turnout opposite the depot will be
utilized for running purposm. Two new
tracks will be. put in from the crossing,
traversing east over the harbor to con-
noct with the tracks at East Norwalk.
A new four-track iron drnwbridge will
be placed across the Norwalk river. It
will be operated on the same principle
and will be very similar in every way to
the one at present in use over the flar-
lem river, and which has been found to
be the most substantial and hem adapted
to the business of the road of any draw
in use. The brick block on Washington
street. now occupiml by R )ot's restau-
rant and (luneo’s fruit store, is to be torn
down, and the curve in the tracks will be
somewhat changed at that point.
The vmrk now being carried on by
Control-tor ll. ll. llruwu koepsomployed
about sixty-live men. and this is increas-
ed by the blasting gang Sundays. when
a heavy charge is set oil“ in the morning
in the lodge of rock at the “Mull," near
the Springwood bridge. As no retaining
wall has been built on the east side of the
tracks, between the [Danbury trucks and
Monroe street, the filling in prom-as has
necessitated the ubuudumm-nt of one of
the spur tracks in the freight yard, as the
earth covered it over. The work at this
point will probably be oomph-ted by the
holidays.

from the custom of other “Uncle Tom”
managers, who interpolate so many at-
tempted gags, stale jokes, and vulgar
witticisms into their rendilione that
scarcely a veetige is left of the ceremo-
beforgotten work. Aside from the great
worth of the company, every act will be
presented with new and elaborate scen-
ery, painted by the master scenic artist
of the world. The excellent company,
two comical Topsies, and two ludicrous
musical Marks, the elegant scenery. the
novel mechanical effects, the ferocious
bloodhounds, trvo brass bands, and the,
celebrated Lone Star quartette will all
unite in making the engagement a most
notable one.
No class of men or women have more
detestation for the conventional Irish
comedy, with its impossible [Irishmen
and counterfeit Irishwomen, than the
Irish people themselves, and they appre-
ciate a play bereft of these and clothed
in a dress that reminds them of Ireland
asitis. and Irishman as they are. So
when such a portrait of Irish lifeae is
presented by John E. Brennan, in “Tim
the Tinker," its reception is sure to he as
warmssthe people can make it. Mr.
Brennan’s presentation of the leading
part of the young Irish tinker is certain-
ly a revelation. u_Ple.y and star are pure,
clean, instructive and true to nature;
you willalways remember his pleasant
face. He will he at the Norwalk Opera

If you intend going to the Opera

duced on any American stage. This
company only play the large cities, and
only stop here owim,r to an open data be-
fore going to New York, so i our autono-
ment l wing public will see just the same
productions here as are to be seen in the

which consists of fourteen musicians ap-
pearing in full dress at each perform-
ance, play all the popular music of the
day. This great treat is worth the price
