Mr. Editor: I am accused by the
Hour of being a Consolidated railroad
man, and I take this opportunity to ex.
plain my relationship to that company.
Nearly two years ago, Mr. Clark, the
president of the road, requested me to
buy certain property, which he thought
the company might need for the con-
templated improvements in this city. I
bought from fifty to sixty thousand
dollars’ worth of real estate for,
the company. without receiving
one cent for compensation, not
evenafree pass, on their road. I have
beena commuter for a number of years,
and have always paid my f as. When I
was, buyingthis property . .I thought that
I was benefiting the seller, as much as the
buyer, if not more. I know it to be a
fact that those who sold their property
through me to the railroad company re-
ceived from a third to one half more
than the ordinary market value of the
property. The railroad company doesn't
expect to buy property at its true
value, and they always pay more
than individuals. The road has
already expended between two and
three hundred thousand dollars
in this vicinity. In all probability they
willbeobliged to expend from two to
five hundred thousand dollars more.
Will this do Norwalk any harm? Is it
not a God-send to the people? There are
those who seem to be afraid that the
company will ask the city to pay a part
of the expense incurred in making these
improvements. What reason have they
to think ‘.so? The road commenced its
work in New York state at Harlem
Junction, and has completed it to Port
Chester. In this state, it commenced
work at New Haven, and the den-
ble tracking is.virtually completed,
With the exception of Bridge-
port and Norwalk. Every place they
have gone through they have done their
work to the satisfaction of the people,
and Without any expense to the citizens.
Will they dollees here? Everyone knows
they will not.
I have lived in this community thirty-
four years, and have gone in and out
among the people all that time, and have
had ; trust funds put into my
hands at times in amounts as large
as two hundred thousand dollars, with-
out bonds. 1 have never known anyone
to question my honesty. But now, to
obtain political advantage, certain people
are trying to make my fellow citizens
believe that! would trade the welfare
and interests of this city to help the
Consolidated railroad. This is “latter-
dsy politics.” It is not honest. It is
not fair.|lt is not manly. It is contempt.
ible. It is devilish. Let. me say to the peo-
ple, if Mr._(iolden is a fair representative
of your principles: if you beleive in his
politics, vote for him like men; but don't
try to vilify and slander his opponent.

Inmates of an Ann Street Tenement

so lseaps the Danger of being Collocat-
ed by Smoke—Tho Mlase Bubdasd.
Last night at 11:15 o’clock Edward Jen-
nings, who occupies the lower apart-
ments of James C. Crown’s tenement
house at 9} Ann street. was preparing to
retire when be detected the smell of
something homing. Going to the door
leading to the kitchen he opened it and
was nearly suffocated by the dense vol-
ume of smoke which poured out into his
.face. Hearing his dog. which he keeps
in the cellar, whining at the top of the
stairs, he opened the door leading to the
cellar, and found the smoke even more
thick. and could also hear flames crack-
ling. He amused the other inmates of
the house, consisting of the families of
George W. Palmer, Matthias
Kling and Mrs. Bessie Scoville
whose rooms were rapidly filling with
smoke. and they hastened outside, nearly

not waiting to cloth themselves. They
found protection in the houses of neigh-
bors and had their wearing apparel
brought to them.
Meanwhile Harry Scoville, the son of
Mrs. Bessie Scoville, ran to Crofut «it
Knapp’s No. 1 factory and told Watch~
man Humphrey Collins of the fire, and
he at once turned in an alarm from Box
14. The firemen, nearly all of whom
were at Putnam Hose company’s ball, re-
sponded very promptly, ex Chief En-
gineer McGowan driving the supply
wagon, and Robert Voitch the hook and
ladder truck. Aline of hose was laid,
but no water was turned on, as a couple
of fire extinguishers were used to good
advantage, and in a short time it was an,
nounced that the flames were under con-
trol.
The tire was confined entirely to the
front part of the cellar, burning the con-
tents of several boxes of paper and other
articles stored there, also setting tire to
the floor timbers above. The damage to
the building will amount to about $75,
which is covered by insurance in J. M.
Lsyton's agency.
There was more smoke than at any
other fire the department has been called
to attend, and it was almost suffocating
in the cellar, where several of the fire-
men remained untii the danger was pass-
ed.
Mr. Jennings, with his wife and
three small children, came from Bethel

Miss Dresser is an elocutionist of ability,

Another favorite was the pantomime,
“Nearer My God to Thee," sung by little
John Whittaker, Jr., and acoompauied

Miss M. Louise Gallagher, of New Ha.

AN APPROPRIATION OI‘ $1,150
MADE AT A CITY MEETING.

change for More Modern lira lighting
Appliance—The Resolution of the
Council Approved Unanimously.
The South Norwalk Fire Department
is to have a new truck, and members of
Old Well Book and Ladder company are
correspondingly happy.
Mayor Lee presided at the special city
meeting held last night in Anon Ball,
for the purpose of approving or disap.
proving a resolution passed by the Board
of Councilmen, appropriating a sum not
to exceed $1,150,-for a new truck, with
$300 realized from the sale of the present
apparatus. City Clerk Joseph Taylor
read the call of the meeting, and also
the report of the special committee com-
posed of Edwin Adams, C. F. Hallock
and J. M. Layton, which stated that the
old truck could be repaired for 3250.
E. A. Woodward desired a more ex-
plicit explanation of the matter, saying
SL200 for a new truck was a great deal
of money in these depressive times. He
thought 3250 was enough to spend and
that that sum would put the truck in
good condition.
Chief Engineer Baker stated that there
was no doubt that an entire new ap-
paratus was needed, as the present one
was thirty-four years old. and second
hand when purchased by the city of
South Norwalk eighteen years ago for
$500, having at that time been condemn-
ed for use by the New Haven fire depart-
ment.
Councilman Sculley said he regretted
that none of the special committee were
at the meeting, and also the committee
on fire department, but he said be bad
confidence in them. He explained the
Council's action in the matter on previ-
ous occasions.
Mr. Swartz, who lives opposite the
headquarters of the Hook and Ladder
company. said it was a question in his
mind whether the truck could be gotten
out of lbs building without endangering
the lives of the fireiuoa. It was 3 won-
der to him no one had been killed,
as it was seldom the apparatus was taken
out without accident. If the city could
have a new buildingto go with the truck,
then it would be a good thing.
in reply to a question from Council-
man McMahon, whether the special com-
mittee had recommended the kind of
truck they wished to purchase, Mr. Scul-
ley said they had one in view that cost
about $1,500. Mr. McMahon thought no
action should be taken that would be re-
gretted in six months or a year, and that
it would be well to wait.
At this juncture, Mr. Adams, one of
the committe, appeared, and the mayor
collation him to explain matters more
fully. He said the old truck had under-
gone a most careful examination, with
the thought that changes might be made
toanswer for a considerable length of
time. The wheels could be cut of! four
inches, and some blocking taken out,
which would lower the ladders and work-
ing apparatus about ten inches. Henry
Tilly, the carriage maker, was of the
opinion that if the wheels were made
smaller it would add strength to them,
as would also the placing of iron rod
braces on each side of the reach, prevent
ing the top heaviness now apparent. The
committee thou had an otler of $300 for
the truck and two other wagons, and
came to the conclusion it would perhaps
be better to dispose of the old apparatus
and purchase a new one.
Mr. Hwartz asked if the committee had
thought anything about retaining the
truck and placing it on the bill. its
said if this was done. $1,130 would not be
suiilcient to purchase the new truck.
large the expense of storing it would be
considerable.
Mr. Bullock, who also came in later,
said it had been suggested that the truck
could be kept by the fire department,
but that after all that could be done it
would still be an old truck.
Thcqucetion was called for, and the
vote taken, everyone present voting for
the purchase of the new truck.
