, V’A special meetingof theBoard of Coun-
‘ Clinton was held last night, at the Coun-
Mayor
lice and all the councilmen with the ex-
ception of J. A. Slater, who is ill, were
_ plant. The minutes of the previous
,. meeting were read and approved and
bills to the amount of $405 were ordered
wan
Gouncilman Hoyt, committee on fire
department, said the matter of Dudley
P. Ely’s barn should receive attention
He thought the Council had better take
it up first. Attorney Light, who investi-
gated the matter, said he was under the
impression that Mr. Ely had violated an
ordinance. The barn was considered an
absolute loss by the insurance companies.
Of course, he said, some timbers were
saved and the original corners were used,
There was an almost entirely new siding,
and a new roof. If it was not a violation
of the city ordinance, there never was
one, said Mr. Light, where a fire depart-
ment existed. It went beyond the claim
of repairing and was the erection of a
building in the fire limits. He said Mr_
Ely told him he had consulted Council-
men Hoyt and Seymour and they said it
would be all right. He met Fire Marshal
Sherwood and told him it would have
been better to have seen the Council.
He did not think Mr. Ely violated the
ordinance of his own knowledge,as he still
maintained that he was merely repairing
and not erecting a building. In the city
attorney’s judgment the claim was not
well taken. Mr. Sherwoood claimed
there was no new timber in the barn
from the sills to the plate. The rafters
were new, but all the first floor had been
leftas it was found after the fire. Up.
stairs 225 feet of new flooring had been
used, and the building had never been
torn down, as reported. He did not
think it would cost $400 to rebuild the
barn. Councilman Hoyt said he thought
the matter had been improperly brought
before the Council. He said if it was his
building, he should have thought he had
a perfect right to rebuild it, as Mr. Ely
"had done. The barn had been narrowed
on one side, but the frame was intact.
Councilman Seymour also thought that
Mr. Ely had a perfect right to go ahead
and repair the building. Councilman
Sculley moved the acceptance of the re
port of the committe, and that no further
action be taken in the matter. The mo
tion prevailed.

David A. Reardon was nominated for
supernumerary policeman by Mayor Lee,
and received the unanimous vote of the
Board.

The following communication was re-
ceived from The Norwalk Tramway com-
pany, and on motion was referred to the

was a dangerous place on urinates ave-
nue, on cement of a low place in the
roadway, which would have to be filled
in or a fences would have to be built for
protection. The cost of filling would be
about $50, and he recommended that the
street department he ordered to fix the
thoroughfare, which the Council voted
to do.

Councilman Hoyt said he had received
two bids for the placing of a new hot
water stove and a sixty-six gallon boiler
in the lockup. Nash & VanScoy were
the lowest bidders, there price being
$39.50, and they were given the con-
tract.

Councilman Schaub said a petition had
been placed in circulation. Monday, ask-
ing the selectmen to call a special town
meeting for a bridge to be placed on
Day street at an expense of about $900.
The meeting would probably be held
next Saturday afternoon in the Town
House.

Previous to the meeting J. Donovan,
Jr., had asked Mayor Lee if he proposed
putting a clause for the establishment of
acommercisl electric light plant in the
call for the annual city, election In order
that the citizens might vote on the ques-
tion. He said the voters expected it and
he thought the Council could do no
more than give them the privilege.
Electric Light Commissioner Winches-
ter said that. although the question could
be voted on and everything gotten in
readiness for the establishment of such
a plant, it need not be done until the
people saw fit to appropriate the money.
The expense would be about $10,000 or
$15,000. The mayor did not know
whether the clause should be inserted or
not, but after some consultation on the
subject, City Attorney John H. Light
drew up the following article, which
passed the Board:

WHEREAS, Ear-h branch of the City
Council in each of two consecutive mun-
icipal years passed the following
ambles and resolutions, which pream fee
and resolutions received the approval of
the mayors, viz;

eral Assembly, entitled, “An act author-

said act. may construct, purchase, lease
or estabhsh or maintain, within its

facture and distribution of gas or elec-
tricity, for furnishing light for munici-

habitants as mayr hire and pay for
the same, as provide in said Act, by
first obtaininga twosthirds vote of the
City Council, and receiving the ap-
proval of the Mayor In each of two con-
secutive municipal years. and by having
the same thereafter ratified by a major-
ity of the voters, voting thereon at the

walk be, and It hereby is, authorized

Morton‘s Cont Pocket.

James E. Mortonmf West street. had
an exciting row I with a trolley car on the
avenue, one night last week. He suc-
ceeded in getting ahead of the ctr, and
looking back to measure the distance be-
tween them. he saw sparks flying in the
air. Thinking that the motorman was
putting on more electricity, he sported
ahead and continued to Woodward ave‘
one, and then returned to his home. A
few mlnutes after he went into the
house, his wife said she smelled smoke,
but a search of the premises failed to
discover the cause. Finally it was
found that Mr. Morton’s coat was on fire.
The sparks which he saw on the avenue
came from the pipe which, in his excit-
msnt, he had thrust into his pocket, and
whlvh had burned a hole in the lining.
Mr. Morton's first thought was to turn in
an alarm of fire, but he finally succeeded
in extlnguishlng the blaze, although the
coat was ruined.

Tim er Dllworth Gives Some Facts in the
\VehrIe—Sauuders Controversy.

To flIc Edilor of Thc Evening] Scnlinrl.
~llcau SIR :—-There being so much talk
about the decision of time given in the
ten-mile bicycle race of Labor Day, I
would like to give a few facts through
Tm: Sl-INTlNl-IL. The winner of the race
(Wehrle) made the ten miles in ‘29 min.
16 2-5 see. There were four timers catch-
ing that time, which no doubt is correct.
Saunders‘ time was held by Mr. Sher-
wood from the start t) the finish. The
time given by him at the finish was
29 min. 45 sec. Mr. Sherwood being the
only timer holding a watch on the
scratch man. of course that time was ac-
cepted. The next day, in figuring the
time between Wehrle and Saunders, I
found a difference I could not under-
stanIl,soI went to Mr. Sherwood for an
explanation. Wehrle started at 5 hrs.
‘37 min. 00 390., and finished at 5 hrs.
56 min. 16 2-5 see, making the ten miles
in ‘29 min. Ill 2-55cv. Saunders started at
blue. 28 min. 30 sec., and finished at Sins.
58 min. 15 sec., time given by Sherwood.
Now had Saunders finished with WclIrlII,
he would have gone the ten miles in
27 min. 40 sec, but he had an half-mile
to go after Wehrlc‘s finish, so if he fin-
ished at 5 hrs. 50 min. 15806., it must
have taken him 1 min. Shoes. to go it.
There is where the kick comes in It
does not seem probable that four timers
were mistaken in Wchrle’s time. If Sher-
wood mnde II mistake in Saunders’ time
(he being the only timer holding a watch
on the scratch man) no one knows what
time Saunders did make, as watches on
the outside are not considered and do not
count. I had no more to do with Saun-
ders’ tune than an outsider, and would
say that the figures given ane are cor-
root, as taken by and given to me. If
any one can find out by the same figures
how the time given the winner is differ-
out from that stated Labor Day, why, go
ahead. I did any. and do say, that Saun-
ders ought to do an half-mile quicker
than l min. fill sec. If he did not, then
the decision given is correct. If he
did, where is the mistake. and how can
it be rectified? Perhaps some of the par-
ties doing so much talking can straighten

it all out.
Yours respectfully,
Campus ll. DILWUHTII.

DANCE!) T0 DBLIGII’I‘FUL MUSIC.

 

The First of the Arlen singing Society's
' Series of Socials.

The first of the series of social func-
tlonstobs given this season by Arlen
Singing society, was held last night in
their hall on Madison street. It wasa
decided success, exceeding the most san-
guine expectations of the committees in
charge. The night was so warm that a
large attendance was not expected, but
fully three hundred people were present.
They filled the dancing space, and enjoy-
edths twenty-four dances until almost
daybreak this morning. Tue orchestra
was composed of Professor Vogler, piano;
Professor Smythe and Noach, violins,
and Mr. Stegmuller. clarionet, who fur-
nished delightful music. Henry Yost
prompted. In their desire to send invi-
tations to only the better class of patrons
of these affairs, and thus have a select
crowd. the committee succeeded admira-
bly, for one of the best behaved parties
ever in the hall was present last night.
It is the project to have the succeeding
socials even better,if pessible, in this res-
pect. The next one will probably be
given on the night of election day, Octo-
ber lst. On the following Monday the
first grand concert of the season will take
place, and this will surpass all previous
efforts of the society. The chorus was
never in better training, and several solo-
Ists from abroad have been engaged for
the occasou. Among the distinguished
guests present at last night's event was
Professor Menz, leader of the Stmford
Turnverein.

The committee of arrangement con-
sisted of Albert Berg, James Thompson,
Henry Froeb, Herman Malmo, Louis
Hein and George Sheer.

The Chapter Connected With Grace
Church Will Joln the Brotherhood.

St. Philip’s Guild, of Grace church,
will meet tonight, in the Guild room of
the church, at the regular hour. Every
member should be present, as the report
of the committee appointed to decide
whether the chapter shall become a regu-
lar branch of the junior department of
the Brotherhood of St. Andrew will be
given, and action taken upon it. The
chapter now has a large membeIship roll,
and is in a flourishing condition. The
members are composed of boys sixteen
years of age and under, but the chapter
having no definite object or purpose at
present, the above action has been taken.
The object of the junior department of
the Brotherhood of St Andrew is to meet
the need for an organization which shall
train boys for future membership in the
Brotherhood. Boys twelve years of age
and over, who are well dispoeed and of
good chd’racter, are eligible for member-
ship. ‘But the value of the organization,
however, is not to be measured by its nu-
merical strength, but by a gradual devcl~
opment in enthusiasm for the work, and
candidates for membership are at first
admitted only by a sucu-ssful probation.
It is conducted under the supervision of
a Brotherhood committee, and only the
simplest details of the organimuon have
been attempted

First ‘l'cnnls l'rlzs of the Stamford Yacht
Club Comes in Norwnllt.

The last match in the singles in the
Stamford Yacht I-lubfcnnis tournament
was played on Saturday afternoon. The
game was to decide who should hold the
valuable silver cup for the year The
chance lay between Norman Leeds, of
that city, and \‘anllurcn of Norwalk.
Vanliurcn won the first game, and Leeds
the second, but that was the only game
in the set won by Leeds. The Advocate
says Vanllnrcn did not seem to be play-
ing any better than Leeds, but he set-III-
cd to win the points. It was because he
played so easily and quietly, having full
command of himself. There seemed to
be no emergency that he was not equal
to, and nothing escaped his eye. Leeds
was kept running about all over the
court by Vanlluren's placing.

The second set was not so easily won,
as Leeds won four games. Vanilurcn
won this by a score of flat. The third
set was something of a repetition of the
first, being won by a 51' Ire of (H by Van-
ilurcn.

This finished the singles in the tourna-
ment and Vaniiuren will hold the cup
The Advocate says he deserves it, too,
for throughout the whole tournament, In
the singles, he did not lose a set, and in
the doubles with his brother, he lost only
one set.

The final rounds of the doubles were
played yesterday afternoon. They were
between Ucpp and Armstrong, of Belle
Haven, and the Vanllurens, of Norwalk.
The former won by 4-6, «Hi, 46. The
VanBurens will now play for second
prize. _‘

encores. The Challenge band and

orchestra is probably the best that has

appeared here with any company.

There are eleven pieces and each mem-

ber is a finished musician. Last night a

scene not on the programmes, but enact-

ed by the orchestra between the second

and third acts, created nolittle dismay to

some and great amusement to others,

people hardly knowing whether to stay

or go, applaud or resent. Apparently

the musical director found fault. first

with one musician, then with another,

until finally all left but the director, and

he attempted to carry on the musical por-

tion of the programme alone. This cre-
ated much confusion and seeming wrang-
ling. Finally the cfiended musicians all

marched across the stage playing. The

director pursued them, the trouble was

remedied, all returned and peace reigned

in the orchestra. This was so well per-

formed that it deceived many in the audi-

enceand even Manager Hoyt who thought

it time for him to interfere and quell the

disturbance. The selections rendered by

the orchestra were fine. The overture

"Orpheus," from Offenbach, was beauti-

fully rendered, and it was worth the

price of admission to hear it. The de-

scriptive pleES were especially well play-

ed and chaired well deserved applause.

welcome visitor. He has amused our
theatre-goers for many years and his

than to be on the decline. His new
