Sherman Council, Royal Arcanum,
gave another of its delightful social en-
. terteinments, last night, under the name
of a "smoker." To be sure smoking was
the aim of nearly everyone present, and
several boxes of choice Havanas were
cohsumed, but the evening would not
have been complete without addresses
and an informal, but none the less pleas-
ing, musical programme and an appetlz'
ing collation. In the neighborhood of
one hundred people were present, in-
cluding delegations from Ponessus
Council, of Norwalk; Stamford Council,
No. 909, of Stamford, and several grand
officers, among them Grand Regent J. A.
Davenport, Stamford; Grand Vice Re-
gent Charles H. Prentice, of Hartford»;
Grand Deputy Butterfleld and Grand
Secretary E. B. Holloway, of Milford.
l Speeches were made by Messrs. Daven-
port and Prentice, explaining the many
benefits and advantages to be derived in
an organization of this character, corn-
binlng social and fraternal features with
financial protection, and it is needless to
say many were convinced of this fact
after listening to the addresses.
Henry Tilly sang in spirited style
“Never Take the Horseshoe from the
Door,” and for encore a negro melody
entitled “Git me dat Wetermillon." The
Gounod Quartette sang "Davy Jones,"
a rollicking sea song, with characteristic
' vigor and excellent tonal balance. The
quartette sang several selections during
the evening and were heartily encored at
each appearance. Their closing number,
a "Good Night" serenade, was given with
the delicacy and smoothness of tone and
attention to proper vocal phrasing so do-
sirable in male quartette work. it
Bowery Girl," in a manner calculated to
excite much interest in the young lady.
Edward Moore, of Stamford, contributed
several comic rscitations, and William
Brodin, of Maiden, Mass, rendered sev-
eral autobarp solos and songs with
guitar accompaniment. Henry F. Mor—
gan recited a character piece, “The Spi-
der and the Fly," and received rapturous
applause from the audience. The entire
programme was of a bright and pleasing
nature and much enjoyed by the Arca‘
numites and their guests.
The committee in charge consisted of
George F. Bearse. W. I’. Randall, W. L.
Weed, William F. Hoyt, R. A. Holmes,

The handsome modern residenceof Mr

corner of East and St. John avenues,
East Norwelk, has been the some of a
number of happy social gatherings, but
certainly the one, last night, of the
officers, teachers and others interested in
the South Norwelk Congregational

the most sanguine could wish for. it is
needless to state that Mr and Mrs.

tendency to bring out nearly every.
one who was hidden to attend. Mr.

were most meritorious and were accorded
the hearty applause they deserved. The
quartette selection was received with spa.
cial favor, which the artists acknowledg-
ed with srepetition. Mrs. J. W. Collins
sang “Calm as the Night," by llohtn, and
for an encore an arrangement of Maine's
poem, “Thou art so Like a Flower," the
rich deep contraito voice and faultless
method of the singer lending additional
charm to the selections chosen. Mrs. Ida

on Hillside place,lest evening, a large

were brilliantly lighted and good cheer
predominated throughout the evening.
Each person was furnished with half
of a quotation upon entering the house,
and the missing half was to be found
among those present. and at an oppor-

WILTON HiSl BIG BLAZE
WHII‘LOCK’S BOARDING SCHOOL
BUBNED TO THE GROUND.
‘l'he I'lre Breaks Out in the Boye' Dor-
mitory. from Some Unknown Genre,
Greeting Consternetion Among the Btu-
dents-The Adjoining Buildings Saved.
The boarding academy owned by
Charles W. Whitlock, which was a large
thieeetory building situated in the Kent
district, about one mile from Wilton sta-
tion, was destroyed by fire last night.
The bright glow of the flames could be
distinctly seen in this city.
The fire broke out at about 8 o'clock,
but the origin is not known. The blaze
started in the boys dormitory, and the
flames raged for two hours. The vii
lagers turned out to the number of three
hundred or more, and labored zealously,
but to no email. The furniture on the
first floor were the only household effects
saved.
The building, when fully occupied, ac-
commodated between fifty and sixty
pupils. The original structure was erec-
ted about four years ago by Mr. Whit-
lock, a son of Augustus Whitlock, who
owns a large boarding house nearby.
About one and one-half years ago an ad-
dition was built to the school as large as
the main building.
The loss sustained on the building and
furniture will amount to $10,000, insured
for $6,000 through 0. E. Wilson of
Norwalk. The school is surrounded by
buildings. Charles Mann’s house was
scorched by the heat, and wet blankets
placed on Conrad Borda’s was the only
thing which saved it. The students lost
all of their clothing. Mattresses were
carried to Sherman Morehouse‘s barn
and the boys slept there last night.
The fire, as may be imagined, created
great consternation among the twenty
odd scholars, and in their hasty flight no
attempt was made to save their posses
sions,aud the subsequent rapid devouring
propensities of the hot-handed enemy
proved how fruitless and even disastrous
would have proved their efforts.
Mr. Whitlock has rented two vacant
dwelling houses and will open his school
in them He will rebuild immediately

Prof. Hoff told Hamilton to assume a
proper position. The boy Lllt‘yed, but
the professor claimed he was
insolenf, and slapped him.
The pupil retaliated by throwing an ink-
stand at the teacher. This made the
teacher angry and he punched the boy.
Hamilton at once gathered up his books

father took the matter up and had a
complaint issued for the professor’s er-
