\ Probably the largest caucusof Repub-
licans ever held in South Norwalk,
assembled at Arion Hall, last night,to
nominate candidates for town and city
paces. During the day inquiries
'Qbrought forth very little information as
- , to fwhat was going on. There was myr
igtsry everywhere, some of which was
7 cleared up in the evening, to some or
, tent. Five Mile River was represean
,, by two factions, one determined to non:-
“ lnate Ephrism Themes for selectman, the
. other to give J. G. Crockett acompli~
Y'Vmentary vote, and then nominate Tall—
mage Baker. Crockett got the compli-
,. mentary vote and Thomas the nomina-
' ‘ tion.

It is believed that the A. P. A.‘s
showed their strength in this caucus by
the nomination of S. C. Ireland, against
whom there was a strong opposition.

The following printed slip was used in
‘ the caucus:

Town Caucus.

The town caucus was called to order
" by Committeeman E. E. Crows. Jesse

H. Tol'es was named for secretary, but

declined, and Oscn H. Banks, drtpile

his protestations, was selected to fit the

chair. The tellers appointed were C. W.

Stem-J. J. Goodwin, Wil'iam Huyler.
. Genrge N. Selleck, Jweph Taylor, Ed-

ward W. Godfrey and F. W. Dormer.

On motion of C. W. Bell, an informal
ballot was taken for selectman, with the
9 following result: Whole number of
votes cast, 323; E. Tnomes,179;'l‘. Biker,
99; J. G. Crockett, 22; scattering, 17.
Mr. Crockett thanked his friends for rot-
ing for him, but positively declined to
allow the use of his name.

At this point Charles F. He‘loclr raised
a question as to who were e'igible 10
vote, saying that he thought a number
were doingso who were under twenty-
one years of age. Remarks in a smilar
strain were made by Charles E. Jennings
and Joseph Tammany. The chair ru'ed
that no one under that age was entit'ed
to vote. Attorney Light stated that any
voter present, regardless of past stillin-
tions, had the privilege of casting a bal-
lot.

Numerous objections had bgen made
against the tellers taking b'illols from
everyone in the hall, and a motion pre-
vailed that all who voted walk around
the halland deposit their billet in the
receptacle on the tah‘e. Whi'e this was
being done, a number of Hungarians
were prohibited from voting,“ it was
positttely known that they were under
age, or not natumlizud. The vote, how-
ever, was still large.

The real tight for the nominations
centered in the constableship, the Oil.-
zsns’ League and others making a strong
protest against the renomicadon 0153m-

ly mean an election, as seven out of the

regardless of party lines or friendship, he
could much better serve on the outside.
He would “go for” any man whom he

bition trots.

The fun commenced at 2 o’clock, when

George Stevens, with Hollowback; W. 8.
Raymond, with Telegraph, and Joseph
Corrigan, with Kitty, came to the wire.

neck, followed by Holluwback. Lady
Ratchford, and Telegraph. Time 2:58}.

In the second heat Kitty was alsoa
winner; Hollowback took second place,
closely folio Ived by Telegraph. and Lady
Ratchford bringing up the rear. Time,
2:55.

in the third heat Lady Ratchford was
a winner; Boilowbsck was aclosescc~

QUESTIONS AND 08d ECI’IOSS.

 

Oliver (‘oolr's Testimony In the "Rambler"
Seizure Case.

The "Rambler" seizure cm was taken
up again in the Stamford City Court yes.
terday. As stated in Tim SENTINEL last
evening. Judge Downs decided that the
question asked Mr. Cook at the hearing
~un Saturday, “Have you planted rystrrs
on the grounds?" which was objected to
by the defense as being immaterial, was
admissible, as leading to prove the allega-
tions of the complaint. lie further said
that “if the grounds were natural oyster-
grounds when designated. the designs-
tion was void, and the act of 1885, setting
boundaries, is conclusive evidence that
they are lode upon which any may
dredge; but if the designations were not
upon natural beds, then Mr. Cook had a
valid title of which he has never been
constitutionally divested. and of course
it follows that other persons may not
dredge on them."

After the rendering of this decision
Mr. Cotrk, the alleged owner of the beds,
was called to the stand. The same quee-
tlon was again asked by Lawyer Warm-r.
The witness answered that he had, and
that he had planted oysters soon after
the layout. He had also planted them
in 1892. The balance of the morning
proceedings are reprinted from the ills m-
ford Advocate:

Colonel Frost said he objected in tiny
evidence showing that planting had been
done since 1835.

Judge Downs decided to admit the evi.
deuce. with the understanding that proof
of the title of Mr. Cook to the beds
should be introduced.

Judge Perry objected to a question in
regard to mot buoylng newt-ding to an
act of 1893, which directed the Fish Ccm~
mlssloners to dnlhls.

Mr. Warner claimed that proof would
be forthcoming which would show that
thegrcoads claimed by Mr. Cook were
left out of the beds so buoyed.

Judge Perry claimed that the statute
of use was conclusive as to the bouncers
betcha beds, and that, accordingly.
the grounds» bounded were statutory
m M Ilealsoelslslsd that the
plaintiffs were sadssverlng to prove that
the m Osman-toasts had changed the

 
 
 

 

the authority of the commission in the
buoyingof beds should be based upon
the statutes liking boundaries. ’ ~ ‘
Judge Downs ‘orerrnied the objection
and decided that the buoys put down by
the commissioners were supposed to fat»
fill the conditions of the enactment of
1886.

Mr. Cook testified that the buoys dill
not include these grounds, and that they
were placed on the line given the comi-
mlssioners by the town committee.
Judge Perry, on cross examination, illi-
quired about the dates upon which he
had planted oysters. He gave them Ill
1892, 1882 and 1880. Shells were planted
in 1893. The oysters planted in 1882 and
1880 were near Peach Rocks, across the
grounds, east and west and north and
south, a distance of about forty rods Mb
way. , in 1892, when be planted oysters
last, be planted east of Peach Rocks fora
distance of about forty rode. He believed
that oysters planted in 1880 and 18132
were taken by the “Rambler.”

A map of the tract was shown to the
witness and he pointed out the grounds
upon which the "Rambler" dredged.

Judge Perry read the boundaries of the
Roton Point and Fish Island beds as not
down by the statute of 1885. He was
met with a series of objections whenever
he asked the witness if he knew where
these boundaries were. He asked the
witness toindicate certain points on the
map. This was objected to because the
map had not been offered in evidence.
Judge Perry offered it. Counsel for the
plaintiff objected to this as it had not
been shown that it was wrrect. Judge
Perry then offered the map as a diagram.

The witness then pointed out the vari-
ous points of the boundaries.

Judge Perrylread the statutory limits
of the natural beds and asked if the
grounds on which the depredations wrere
committed were within these boundaries.
Mr. Warner objected as it was not in line
of cross-examination.

Judge Perry then said he asked this
question to test the witness’s knowledge
of the matter.

Judge Downs admitted it on this
ground.

Judge Perry then questioned the wit~
uses about the boat "Rambler" and her
description.

In response to questions by Mr. War-
ner, the witness said he had great dith-
cully in keeping buoys there, as they
were helped away. He buoyed the
deeienations as core as the whole lot
had been assigned. These designations,
Judge Perry brought out, were applied
for by did’erent people, but all were got
for Mr. Cook. As the committee who
designated these plats. Hiram '1‘. Taylor,
now dead, was the one usually present.
and Mr. Cook assisted him in his Work,
Mr. Klinelelter did not come to the tract
very often.

Mr. Cook had known his buoys todis-
appear within an hour after their being
placed. Certain lines of demsrkution
never were removed, while others would
not be found after a short time. In 189?.
heslaked ground off inside of what the
defendants claimed were natural beds.
“These stakes," he said. “were the ones
which were elusive."

Mr. Werner tried to ask why he had
not placed these stakes in what was
claimed as natural beds prior to 1592.
The Vt illness was about to speak of Bill in-
junction when Jmige Perry objected up-
on the ground that the pipintill must
produce a certified copy ofthe injunction.
The objection was sue lined. The in-
junction referred to was dissolved in
189.3, allowing him to put down his
strkes.

The defendant's counsel said. a.’ tor the
dismissal of the witness, that they wou'd
admit what had lawn sttl about the
“Rambler" taking oysters, as e lll'll by
Mr. Cook.

Court then look a rare-stall tho i 'n'
was resumed in the afternoon.

Nan-l Y. P. S. C. E.

The entertainment given in the chapel
of the Norwalk Congregational church,
last night, under the auspices of the
Young People‘s Sccisty of Christian Eu-
deavor, was a most pleasing affair.

The programme consisted of piano
duette by Misses Bette and Miller, tenor
solos by Leigh Whittaker, readings by
Miss Marion Short, of New York and pi-
sno solos by Miss Miller. Each number
was rendered in the most acceptable
manner. The instrumental selections
were played with skill and most. artistic
finish.

Miss Short recited humorous, pathetic
and descriptive selections with all her
sweet unconsciousness of self, which is so
charming and has Won her a warm place
in the hearts of Norwallr people, and
which is the pure individuality that
makes all she says and does as graceful
and as natural as a bird’s swift flight.

Mr. Whittaker‘e solos were the or
preeeion of the words of each song in the
sweetest and clearest tones and in a most
delightful manner, eviuciug the high
ability (.1’ the singer.

Every l-llmbt‘l‘ on the programme that
the warmest applause and each artist
was obliged to restmud again and again
to the repeated encores.

The front of the platform was tastefuh

There were a large number of people
present and all were delighted with the
