TWO CENTS

 

DEMlllillllTS IN BAUCUS.

THEY SELECT DELEGATES TO THE
SEVERAL CONVENTIONS.

:00 Opposition to the Candidates. and
any are Chosen on the rim Italics—A
System of District Primaries Proposed
and Submitted to a committee.

The Democrats of the First and Third

districts met in caucus at the Town
Hottse, last night, to elect delegates to the

 

' . several conventions. Only about fifty

voters were present when Bernard Tully,
of the town committee, called the meet-
ing to order. John J. Walsh was elected
chairman and Bernard Tully was chosen
secretary.

After the reading of the call, John Ma-
lone made a motion that the delegates be
elected by ballot, and that to obviate the
. “funny business’f sometimes carried on
at caucuses, those voting deposit their
ballots upon a table in the presence of
the tellers, so that none but those enti-
tled to vote would do so. The chair ap-
pointed as tellers James Sutherland,
Charles N. Wood, James B. Costello and
Thomas Hunt. A motion was made that
the first ballot be made a formal one, but
objections were interposed and a motion
to make the first ballot always an infor-
mal one prevailed.

Levi Warner was the only person
nominated as first delegate to the State
convention, of which there are four.
There were~ no other candidates in the
field, as the result showed:

Votes cast, 42.
LeviWarner.... ..... 32
James T. Hubbell .................... 4
Scattering ........................... 6

The ballot was made formal, and Mr.
Warner was declared elected.

James T. Hubbell was the only nomi-
nee for the next delegate. The ballot

was:
Votes cast, 46.
James T. Hubbeli ................... 45
Scattering................... ........ 1
James Sutherland was next nominated.
The ballot resulted:
Votes cast, 43.
James Sutherland. . . . ...... . ......... 39
Scattering ....................... .. .. 4

Bernard C. Feeney thought that, as
Norwalk and South Norwalk had each
elected three delegates, East Norwalk
should be represented. lie presented the
name of A. C. Golding. The choice was
unanimous, as thirty-four votes were cast,
and all were for Mr. Golding.

Samuel Daskem Was nominated as a
delegate to the Congressional convention

by the following vote:

Votes cast, 39.
Samuel Daskam ...................... 36
Scattering ........................... 3

Charles L. (llover and Nicholas Martin
were nominated as the other candidates.
Mr. Martin declined the nomination. The

ballot:

Votes cast, 3i.
Charles L. Glover ..................... 3‘3
Scattering ............................ ‘3

Three candidates were nominated for
the County oonvention~John J. Walsh.
Nicholas Martin and John H. llormley.
The ballot:

Votes cast, 53.

Joth. Walsh... .. .. .......3;l
Nicholasllfartin........ ....15
John H. Gormley ................... 5
Votes cast, 50.
Johnfl.(lormley...........,.,.. W36
Nicholas Martin ................... 23:

Each of the several ballots was made
formal when it was seen that them was
no opposition to the candidates.

It was then voted that the other dole-
gates be elected by ucclamatiou. The
delegates to the Senatorial convention
elected were Frederick Mead and ii. C.
Feeney; to the Probate convention, E. ii.
Goldshmidt and John Malone.

The chair then announced that the
next business under the call was to dis-
cuss the advisability of establishing dis.
trict primaries to nominate delegates to a
convention, which would nominate town
fiiocers. Mr. Tully made a statement,
during which he said that in the First
and Third districts there are about 1,400
Democratic votes, and that Norwalk is
the largest town in the state that holds
an open caucus. It gives also the biggest
Republican majority of any town of its
size, and probably all on account of the
lack of organization. This scheme is to
divide the First and Third districts into
wards, and let them hold their primaries
and elect delegates to a town convention.
This gives each section representation,
while an open caucus is only attended by
those in the business center. If the sub.
urban districts had any say in nominat-
ing the ticket, they would also take in-
terestand vote for it, instead of many
times becoming stay-at-homes on election
day. The wards would also have execu-
tive silicon, includinga canvassing com.
mittse; and the party would be time well
organized. it was proposed to divide the
city into ten districts. After a short
discuulon, it was voted to leave the mat-

About the ten-Illa Open Bicycle Base at
the Fair Grounds. labor Day.

Editor ofThe Sentinel: Robert Webrie,
who was awarded first time prize by the
timers, holds the prize, a silver water
set, that rightfully belongs to Saunders.
The timers having found out shortly
after the race that there had been a mis-
take made, and that Saunders actually
made the fastest time, Saunders has been
awarded first time prize, but as yet has
not got it. There were certainly fifty
watches held on that race. and many bets
were made as to the time that Saunders
would make, and all that I have talked
to agree that Saunders made the best
time. Webrie had one minute and thirty
seconds start. He made one lap and had
gone about 100 yards when Saunders
started. Saunders caught up to Webrie
and passed him, Wehrle falling in back.
and together they traveled the remaining
distance. It only remeinfl for Saunders
to go his last lap as fast as Webrie went
his first, not to say anything of the few
hundred yards to win first time prize,
and that he did. There was hardly one
man on the ground who did not believe
that Saunders had won the time prize.
A day or two after the race, Charles H.
Diliworth, one of the timers, discovered
that there had been a mistake made in
Saunders‘ time of nearly forty seconds,and
wentto E. Preston Sherwood, another
timer, and told him about it. Sherwood
told Dillworth that he knew there had
been a bull made, but to say nothing
about it and the matter would soon blow
over. Dillworth then told Sherwood
that as Saunders had made the best time
he should begiven credit for it, and so he
was awarded first time place on the list
of time prizes that he actually won, but
as yet has never received. Now, if Mr.
Sherwood doubts the truth of this state~
ment, let him call on Mr. Saunders and
the writer of this, in their company, will
go and prove the facts to Mr. Sherwood
as have been stated. Now, Mr. Editor,
1 think, and a great many others think
the same, that too much blame cannot
be attached to the judges and timers who
allowed C. Ford Seeley, the handicap
starter, to go up in the stand as soon as
Webrie had finished his ten miles.
He had no more business there than
did any other spectator, and the fact that
Webrie rodea bicycle that Seelsy was
agent for and subsequent developments
make his appearance there a little bit
yellow. Fara PLAY.

 

Two New Connterfelts.

Chief Hazen, of the treasury secret ser-
vice, reports the discovery of a new coun-
terfeit $10 silver certificate, check letter
A, series of 1886, signed by W. S. Rosen-
crans, registrar: James W. llyatt, treas-
urer. The note is said to be a poorly
executed photo-etched production, and
should be detected at a glance. Much of
the wording is indecipherahle, and the
face of the note has a smutted, blurred
appearance. The back is very dark green
in color and miserably printed. Another
counterfeit recently discovered is a *5
note on the Fifth National bank of (‘in~
cinnati, 0., check letter A, series of 1‘89.
It is a photographic production. the color
of the numbers, seal and panel contain-
ing charter number on the back of the
note being applied with pen and brush.
The note is calculated to deceive those
who do not give money careful scrutiny.

Knocked Down By a lllcycllst.

Between 5 and 6 o‘clock last evening,
Miss May Brennan, of Chapel street. was
alightiug from a trolley car near St.
Mary's church, when n bicyclist came
down the street at full speed, passing
close to the car. lie struck Miss Bren-
nan, knocking her down, and was also
thrown from his wheel several feet
through the air, and landed all ina heap.
llis bicycle was slightly deranged. Miss
Brennan’s back was turned towards the
cyclist, and that is probably all that
saved her from serious injury. film was
badly bruised and shaken up, and her
hip was slightly wrenched. The name
of the bicyclist is not known. After an
apology he limped away.

Took Fright at an Umbrella.

Mucus. George Brown and Elmer Hull,
of Weston, started for Norwalk with po-
tatoes, chickens and butter. Mr. Brown’s
horse became frightened at their um-
brella, the harness broke, they were
thrown out, and were unconscious for a
few moments. The accident happened
going down what is called “Joe Moor
Hill." The horse was caught by Jones
Smith of Lyon‘s Plains. The potatoes
and chickens were strong along the
street: the butter was safe in the wagon.
Messrs. Brown and Bull escaped with a
few scratches. ‘

BLISS AT BELL lSLMlD.

A Danbury Couple Plight their Trolls to
the Music of the Bad lea Worse, than
life to the Vine clad Cottage of Person
Robbins and Get Married. '

There was a pretty little romance, and
incidentally the foundation for a love
story, at Bell Island the past season.
The gay life of the seashore, strolls along
the beach at twilight listening to the
music of the and sea waves, the love
tales written in the glistening white
sends, the scrambles over the harnacle~
covered and moss-grown rocks all figure
in the affair. The hero and heroine spent
the summer at the Island and became
acquainted. Their acquaintance develop
ed into friendship and ripened into love.
Then came the betrothal, and the last
chapter is a wedding in a vine-covered
cottage. '

The young couple referred to were
Frank P. Benedict .and Miss Nellie S.
Loucks, both of Danbury, who were
married by the Rev. F. E. Robbins, of
the Norwalk Baptist church, the other
evening, at the cozy cottage of the Rolr
bins-Sherwood party at Tuthill’s Bluff,
near the Island. Mr Benedict spent the
summer at his father's cottage, and Miss
Loucks was one of a gay party of Dan-
bury belles at the Fahey cottage. They
did not take any of the Bell Island.
ers into their confidence, but kept their
secret as the summer days waned. Mr.
Benedict had a wholesome regard for his
father‘s boot, even though he was a con-
firmed bachelor of twenty-five years,
and the young couple would not set
their nuptial day until they knew pater
furniture was in Norwalk on business and
would not return home until the follow-
ing day.

The opportune time came at last, and
word was hastily sent to the fair maiden
at the Fahey cottage that the ceremony
could be performed that evening. The
marriage certificate, which had been so
carefully nurtured and protected in the
groom's inside vest pocket, was brought
forth and carefully folded up with the
marriage fee and placed in an envelope.
The wedding ring was also gotten in
readiness. Prompliy at 9o‘clock the pro.
spective bride and groom, accompanied
by the groom's sister, who was to act as
maid of honor, set out (or the minister's
cottage. They were surprised upon
their arrival there to find a merry
party of campers assembled upon
the broad piazza and the front
room transformed into a veritc
ble bower of fragrance. The nuptial
ceremony was promptly performed by
Mr. Robbins in an impressive manner,
after which congratulations were show-
ered upon Mr. Benedict and his blushing
bride. Rev. RA). Sherwood, pastor of
the South Norwalk Baptist church, and
the ladies of the camping party thor»
oughly enjoyed the occasion and consid-
er the wedding one of tho pleasant! ll’.
events of their camp life.

Not a word was breathed at Bell island
of the little romance, and Papa lienedil't
did not know of the allnir until Wednes-
day, when his daughter rushed into til»
house, bringing his new (laughterin-law
and telling the pretty little story. The
parental blessing was at once given and
two hearts that beat as one thumped all
the harder until the “God bless you my
children," was pronounced. The Beno-
dict party returned to Danbury the same
day, taking with them a great surprise
to their Danbury friends. ' Since then
the young couple have been showered
with congratulations and compliments.
Mr. Benedict and his bride will soon go
to housekeeping in the batting town.

 

 

The Tramway Extension to Boweytoo.

Selectmen Baker and Raymond met
representatives of the Norwalk Tramway
company at Attorney Levi Warner's of-
llce, last night, to discuss the company’s
layout through Rowavton. Attorney
Warner told the selectmen that they had
no right to give or consent to any lay-
out, but could simply let the Tramway
company go ahead at their own risk. As
the company have. already secured the
consent of all the property-owners but
two, they will probably most with no
opposition in their extension.

ATTACK!!! BY A BULL.

n. Go'ree e Chane! Illll Inner In a
, frightful loo-er.

John B. Gregory, of Chestnut Hill,
had a desperate struggle yesterday after-
noon with an infuriated ‘ bull owned by
Albert Welnitz, the cranberry Plains
dairymas.

Mr Gregory was driving past Mr.
Welnitz’a farm, when he noticed the bull
in the-road. He aiighted from his wages,
and arming himself with a pitchfork at-
tempted to drive the animal back into a
lot out of which it had escaped. Sud-
denly the bull to on Mr. Gregory.
and gave hima wicked thrust with his
horns, which knocked him down, and
then proceeded to buttbim. Mr. :Gregory
fell face down, and the bull’s horns rip-
ped the clothing from his back in shreds
The horns did not penetrate the flesh,
but left Mr. Gregory’s back and ribs one
mass of bruises and in some places the
flesh was almost reduced to a jelly.

The victim did not dare move for fear
of getting a fatal thrust, but assoon as
he saw a chance, and the boil desisted
for a moment in his attack, he regained
possession of his pitchfork and struck the
infuriated animal over the nose, dozing
him for an instant, so that he had a
chance to make his escape into Mr.
Weliniz’s yard. He presented a piliable
appearance and was so weak and lame
he could hardly walk. He was taken
into the house and his wounds dressed,
while the farm hands set out to capture
the ball, which they did after some
trouble. Mr. Gregory was then taken
home and Dr. Dexter Hitchcock, of Nor-
walk, was summoned. He found the
patient in a frightful condition, and it
will be several days before he will be
able to leave his bed. One of the worst
bruises is under one of his arms, and is
very painful.

Mr. Gregon is the father-in law of
Frank Blake, until recently employed by
the Holmes, Keefe-rd: Selleck company.

POPULAR AMUSEMENTS.

Dramatleal and lesion] ltvenls In Which
Norwalk People Are Interested.

"The New Buy" at Boyt’s Opera
House tonight. will be a notable event in
South Norwalk theatricals. There
promises to be a large audience.

”Uncle Tom's Cabin,” as presented at
Music Hall, last night, was a complete
success. Quite a good sized audience
witnessed the troubles of Uncle Tom and
deeply sympathized with him and as
deeply disliked the cruel Simon Legree.
The Marks were very amusing, and what
improved the entire production was that
nothing was over-drawn. The mischiev-
ous Topsy evoked much merriment and
was especially pleasing to the large num-
ber of children present. Aunt Ophelia
was there the same as of yore. Little Eva
won the hearts of all. and her early death
brought tears to the eyes of many, all
sorrowing with her bereaved father. A
very pretty transformation scene was the
finale, the ascension of Eva and Uncle
Tom lying dead were portrayed with
an effect of sweet sublimity,

“Tim the Tinker" was produced at the
Norwalk Opera House, last evening, bya
fair company. The specialties were ex-
cellent. There was a very small audience.
however, and both the management of
the house and the company lost money.

There was another good audience pres-
cut at the Able Opera House last night,
when the Babb Comedy company
gave their second night’s performance
in this city. The play presented was
the romantic comedy drama, entitled
"Sis.” It is of the Western border or.
der, in which there is a heroine, a vil-
lian and a love affair. There are several
startling situations that enthuse an and-
ience. The vein of comedy throughout
the play is replete with wit and laugh-
able effects. The piece was well staged
and given in a pruiseworthy manner.
The whole company did clever and ca-
pable work in their respective parts.
The Lewis sisters sang and danced to the
delight of all and hadro respond to en-
cores. Frequent applause and laughter
were the order of the evenings—Easter),
