he Depot Platform Bet on Fire by a
Phasing Locomotive—A Large Vote Pel-
M In the 'l'hlrd District—Inc Revival
Iervicca Still Largely Attended.
{Yesterday afternoon a" spark from the
‘ ‘ Boston and Albany express, which pass-
es through here about 5 o’clock in the
afternoon, set fire to the platform direct-
ly in front of one of the waiting room
doors. The flame was discovered by a
lad named Reynolds, who notified Sta-
tion Agent Geer, and he, with Baggage
Hester Finch, extinguished the blaze, as
- they thought, most efiectively. During
the night, however, the fire started»
‘ again and had not the men on a passing
“ height train discovered it, the station-
would probably have been destroyed, or
badly damaged before East Norwalk's
efficient firemen could have saved the
. building. As it was a good-sized hole
, was burned in the timbers on the, plat
form.
A great rallying revival service may be
expected at the East avenue Methodist
church, this evening, to begin at 7:80
o'clock. Last night the evangelistic
meeting was largely attended. Rev.
Frank A. Scotleld, pastm of Grace
Methodist church. New Haven, preached
an able sermon from Mark i., 1 and
Timothy i., 2. He spoke of a salvation
thatis mighty to save; of a Saviour
whose province it was to forgive; of the
impossibility of man’s redeeming him-
self. The sermon was followed by a
brief but earnest altar and consecration
service. Tonight the Rev. A. S. Keva-
ungh, pastor of the South Norwalk
Methodist Episcopal church, will preach,
Instead of Rev. A. H. Wyatt, who is
indisposed.
The vote in East Norwalk, yesterday,
was alarge one, and resulted in 3 Vin-
tory for the Republicans, as was expect-
cd, so there was no surprise. The
fight for license and no license was an
earnest one. The Rev. A. J. Smith, pas'
tor of the East Avenue Methodist church,
and his assistants did untiring and noble
work for the temperance cause and were
rewarded for their efforts by a majority
of thirty-two in favor of no license. The
vote on license on the East Side, last
year, was 148 for license and 110 for no
license, making a majority of thirty-
cight for license. ,
Rev. A J. Smith is announced to speak
at the group meeting of l-Ipworth
Leagues, which is in srssion at Port
Chester, N. Y.. today. The subject of
his address is to be “The League of the
Church.” Mr. Smith will return in time
for the service tonight The delegates
appointed by the Eist Norwalk league to
attend this convention were Miss Evalyn
Hawkins. Miss Sadie Randall, Mrs. Ar-
thur Paddock. Edmund Trounson and
Harry lloyt.

The interest in the election. yesterday.
seemed to center on the second select
man. Quite a little money changed
hands on the result. At the town meet-
ing, held in the Town Hall at :2 o'clock,
things were quite lively. The meeting
was not adjourned until nearly 5 o'clock.
A six-mill tax was laid, and the measure
were instructed to assess the property at
the full valuation. A motion prevailed
that the selectnwn only hire citizens of
this town to work on the
highways, and also purchase everything
that was denied for town allairs in town
If it could be bought. It was voted that
the salary of the tax collector be $300 a
year. ‘or it number of years the salary
of the first solocimnn has been M00 a
year. Yesterday It was voted that no
notary be paid to any selections. If they
doany work for the town they are to
charge what they think it Is worth.

While a comparatively small vote was
v polled, yesterday, the Town House was
crowded at 2 p. in. when Moderator
James H. Godfrey called the meeting to
order. The report of the selectmen was
read" by Charles Horton, and after a
somewhat lively questioning of First Be-
lectman Belden, by a leading Democrat,
in which sheep and town poor became
badly mixed, the report was accepted“
The reports of the school and health
boards were read and accepted. The
fight over the care of our roads was live-
ly and prolonged, one party advancing a
five years’ contract at a yearly cost of
not over $1,400, and an almost equal
number who wished to try it on the some
basis for one year only. A compromise
was at last effected by a vote for a, three
years’ contract. Provision was also made
for cleaning the streets in case of block’
ads by snow. After voting a ten-mill
tax and the usual amount for the schools,
the business meeting adjourned. The
full ticket elected is given elsewhere.
Early yesterday morning, when Louis
Verlin came into the Town House to de~
posit his ballot. one of the booth-tenders
steered him into the end compartment,
which is a trifle smaller than the others.
Now,while Louis is hardly of Falstabbian
proportions, he is a good big man, but be
managed to squeeze in sidewise. After
preparing his ballot he found that he
had faced around, and there was no
chance to open the door which swung in—
ward but by holding his breath, and with
the assistance of the attendants, he was
finally extricated amid the plaudits of
the crowd. ‘ '
