NOTHEB HEARING BEFORE Tilll

no Merit! of Propartyflwners in
lavas or the Proposed “Improvement-
Otltna' Hatters that the’ Council was
Onllnd Upon To Consider.

Another hearing on a new layout of

' West street, from Taylor avenue to the

cltyllne. was the principal business be-

; fore the South Norwalk Board of Coun-

cllmen, last night. Mayor M. M. Lee

" presided, and all the members of the

Board were present.

Attorney J. H.’
Light acted as clerk.

Every property owner on West street
who was present, was in favor of the im-

provement of the street. John H. Knapp
favored the new layout presented by En-
gineer Briggs. He would give the land

. necessary to the widening of the street,

, provided the earth excavated on his

property be placed in the hollow on his

, premises. M. M. Norton claimed that a

portion of his property was taken by the

_ layout, and he thought he should receive

._ damage. He also desired to have, if

 
 
 
 
 

possible, the sidewalk terraced and eleva-
ted no that the property‘would present a
better appearance. A retaining wall
would also have to lie built, and he
thought the damages altogether would
amount to abo t 8000. William H. Wil-
cox said taken in no property
from the street; all of his had been given
out on both sides of the store. The fence
lines of other property, he claimed, had
been moved out into the street. Ile

. would like to save two trees if possible.

William Griffin, who represented Mrs.
B. Griffin, said she was in favor of the
first layout submitted, as it did not take
as much land from the front of her prop
any as the second one. She would not
intsrpose any serious objections to the
improvement, but would like to see the
trees saved. Mansfield Scudder objected
to a sixty foot road. He did not think it
would prove any benefit to property.
He could give no idea of the damages
that ought to be receivad. George D.
Hodges said the old layout took two or
three feet, and the new one three or five
feet from his prop arty. Neither would
benefit him much, but the property
would be damaged. William Brothertou
and William Warren were also in favor
of the improvement. The hearing was
then declared closed.

The sum of $450 was appropriated for
the use of the Elect.lc Light Commis-
sioners.

A motion we passed that the commit.
tee on streets requbst the Norwalk Street
Railway company and the Norwalk
Tramway company to erect guard wires
over their trolley wires, and place life
guards on their cars,

Ferd. Hayes petitioned for permission
to build a wooden addition to his barn
on South Main street. The committee
on fire department reported favorably on
the petition and. the matter was referred
to him for further investigation.

The Tramway company Wllllfllled the
Council to locate and give the grade
of the diamond turnout to be placed on
South Main street, between llaviland
street and Hanford place, in accordance
with the provisions of the charter of the
company, and the following was passed:

“Therefore, we, the Mayor and Com-
mon Council of the City of South Nor.
walk, fix and determine the location of
said turnoutto be on the west side of
South Main street, approximately be-
tween the junction of South Main and
Washington streets and Havilund street.

existing on its present tracks, and the rev
malning distance between its tracks and
the curb line shall be paved with granite
blocks, as soon as the city and the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
company establish and relocate the grade
at said point.” .

It was moved that the salary of the
city treasurer for the remainder of the
year be fixed at $150.

to borrow $3,000 to pay the bills present-
ed at the meeting.

POPULAR AMUSEMENTS.
Dramatical and llnsical Events in Which
Norwnlk People Are Interested.

“Legally Dead,” the play presented at
Hoyt'e Theatre, last night, by the Waite
Comedy company, was excellently staged
and wellacltd. Itisa thrilling drama,
with a strong plot, and offers opportuni-
ty for the display of actors’ and actresses'
ability, and the opportunity was fully
improved. Each peuon in the cast was
eminently suitrd to the role he or she
portrayed. The eptcialties by Harry
Fielding, the Elmore sisters and Mice
Maggie Walker won hearty applause.
The leading lines in the play were most
ably handled by the Elmore children.
The Premium band and orchestra reno
dcred their pleasing overtures and des-
criptive selections in the must acceptable
manner. and were awarded warm ap-
plause, fully merited Tonight the com-

Figures That Suggest the Drlft of ‘1) t.

The Hartford Courant hrs returns,
nearly all cflicial, from 141 of the 10f
towns that voted on Monday. These re-
turns give the results of the election. not
the majorities. Whr re the same party
elects town clerk and a majority of the
sclectmen that party is conceded to have
ctrried the town. Each toer is Repub-
lican, Democratic or divided. The Re-
p tblicans have carried ninety-one towns
against seventy-five carried last year out
of the same towns, a gain of sixteen.
Tue Democrats carry twenty seven this
year against forty-four a year ago, a loss
of seventeen. and twenty-six are divided
against twenty-five a year ago This in-
dicates the Republican gain in part, but
the increase of Republican majorities,
the whittlmg down of what remains of
Democratlc majorities, and the wide ex-
hibition of political interest, are also to
be considered.

A (loll and Wood Dealer Jailed.

Fred Newcomb. who deals in coal and
wood, which he delivers about town in
small quantities, came to Booth Norwalk

toxicunts. Early in the evening he was

trict In the Bonn of Representatives.
Owing tothe lateness of the hour at

which the Ben. E J. Hill was nominat-

ed for Congress at the Republican con-
vention in Bridgeport, yesterday, Tun.

Silurian. was only able to give the ballot

and report the unanimous choice of Mr.

Hill as the opponent of the Hon. Robert

DeForrst in the Congressional race.
Theconventlon was called to order at

'noon, and B. C. Pattisoo. of Toning-

ton, was appointed chairman. Editor E.
P. W. Gillespie, of the Stamford Advo-
cafe, was chosen secretary. After the
committees on credentials, permanent
organlzrtion, and resolutions were ap‘
pointed, the ecuvention took a recess for
half an hour. Harry Ryder, of East
Norwalk, was a member of the commit.
tee on organization, and Charles W. Bell,
of Rowayton, was one of the committee
on resolutions.

The organization was perfected by the
selection of Senator L. P. Jones, of
Greenwich, president. Dr. J. G. Gregory,
of Norwalk, was one of the vice presi-
dents. Senator Joust immediately called
for nominations. Colonel S. G. Ives. of
Colebrook. nominated Attorney Henry
Seymour Sanford, of New Milford. The
nomination was seconded by Rev. Reno
ry Upson, of Washington. E. J. Hill, of
Norwalk, was nominated by Hon. Sam-
uel Feesendeu, of Stamford. In a stir-
ring address io behalf of his candidate,
he said, among other things:

“The gentleman whom I am about to
propose is widely known. He was edu-
cated in the good old schools of Con-
necticut. He has held high offices of
trust in our commonwealth and is a
gentleman of high standing and integ-
rity and of the style of men which the
Republicans must have to win. In 1886
he was elected Republican senator in a
district having a Democratic majority.
This is a Republican year. The gentle-
man whom the Democrats will undoubt-
edly place in nomination for congress
is well known. He voted for that bill
which the leader denounced as one of
'perfidy and dishonor]

"Robert E. DeForcst obeyed his party
leaders and placed in the ballot box his
vote which with others crippled our
industries and yet thinks he can again
represent this district at Washington.
Mr. DzForest was powerless to protect
the interests of Connecticut. We want
a man with nerve, a man who has in-
telligence and brains and one who
knows how to act in the interests of
this good old commonwealth. We want
a man of integrity and ability and such
a man we have in the lion. I13. J. Hill, of
Norwalk, whom I have the honor to
nominate as candidate for congress from
the Fourth congressional district."

Continued applause greeted llr. Fee
senden's remarks, then Ex-apeaker A
W. Paige seconded Mr. llill‘s nomina-
tion. He said he did so in behalf of the
Bridgeport delegation, who were united
for Mr. um. An informal as"... w...
taken, resulting in the choice of Mr.
Hill. The ballot was made formal, Mr-
Sunford withdrawing and melting a

motion that Mr. Bill's nomination be

made unanimous, which was carried
amid great applause.

The committee on resolutions present-
cl the following:

Resolved, That we em hutically on-
dorae the principles of tie Republican
prrty as set forth in the last national lie»
publican platform, and the declaration of
the party in the state. as placed before

can state ticket. .

We recommend for the favorable con-
sideration of the voters of this counter
sional district the firm. i”. J. Hill, of
Norwalk, as a man in every way worthy
of their sufferage.

A committee was appointed to escort
Mr. Hill to the hall. He was presented
t) the convention by Mr. Paige, and in
response to the calls for a speech he said:

Mr. [reorient and Glmllemen o/ the
Urmcenfr’rm: I deem it a high honor to
be chosen b you as the representative of

begun for the redemption of this district

A week ago I received notice at second
hand. from a prominent administration
leader in this stats that, while I might

ibly be nominated as your candidate,

surely. We have saved from suffering
during these hard times a large number
of workingmen by the resources of our

surrounding waters, the Legislature

having provided the free use of our
natural growth oyster and cumming

grounds for the use of the public. The

people of this town sent more soldiers to

the front to put dawn the Southern Boa

according to its size. Many died in

Andersonville, others lived and brought

horns glorious records for bravery. We

have the most convenient harbor on the
Sound. Men of enterprise have rem“

seated our resources to Congress, which

has responded with liberal appropriations

to develop our harbor for the convert.
lanes of the town and the commerce of

the state. Already $15,000 has been or
pended and $2,500 is now appropriated to
be expended soon. A short time ago we
had to put our hands in our packets and
pay for a station and give the land tothe

vast improvements are being made here
for our benefit, as well as thelr'a. They

most permanent character. We are de-
lightfully located, directly on the Sound.
The grounds are high, dry and healthful.
Bell Island has lately been developed by
Eater Brothers into a summer resort

that can hardly be equalled in the state,
and the Rotin Point Improvement com-
pany have developed and opened
to the public a pleasure spot
that rivals all others, however disunt.
For three miles square the land is un-
equalled lor summer residences and brui-
nesa purposes. We can talk to customers
two thousand miles away, and sendxoode
to them by the next steamer or train.

diately mapped out and laid out in broad

enterprise and development Rowayton is
