"Upon our nobool work as a whole much can be said in commends- tlon and but little in criticism," said lir. Olmstead. "Our teachers have worked faithfully and in conslqi'ience there has been rapid advancement and discipline.” He referred to the matter of “strict at- tention" as a necessary adjunct to school work. A brief review was given of the personnel of the teachers of the Over River school, and tribute was paid to them and‘ their labors. Special mau- tlon was made of the excollency of the kindegnrten department-and the musi cal instruction given by Prof. H. B thham, the principal. A feature of tho reading lessons adopted at this school,lfr. Olmsiaad said, was the idea of buying illustrated subjects such as flowers, met- als, etc. He thought special credit should be given to Morris Sloan, the jani tor, for his faithfulness. The Winnipauk school was referred to as doing nicely. The work ntthe North Censor was rm ported ashavlng been somewhat handi- capped by the illness of the principal, Miss Ellen Iorrill, but Ilsa Colton, who had succeeded her, did extremely well.

Austin's report dwelled upon the crowded condition of the East Norwslk school, with 510 pupils, an increase of sixty. There were 170 in the primary department. The rapid growth of that section demanded radical changes at this school. Much praise was given the prin. cipnl and teachers for their excellent work. West Norwalk'n Rodd was well- lltlillnad by the super excellence of the spelling and reading classes. In Crass; berry Plains sickness had interfered with school work. At the Center school many improvements were noted. Punctuaiity was one of the notices of the school. A special feature was the study of Ameri- can and English literature with good re- sults. Ir. Austin believed in keeping old teachers, who were familiar with their pupils. He favored the matter of a consolidated board for hiring and grad- ing teachers. Mr. Austin’s clusing re- marltn were heartily endorsed by the Board. Johan.

He congratulated the Five Mile River district upon its new school, and reported that at Illddle Five Milo River the same old state of affairs still existed. The committee, he said. it seemed would not make repairs to the school house, although it would cost but about .300. A. Blanchard presented an interesting report upon the evening schools. He spoke of the excellent work last year, but said that this year. although the at- teudance had been good, it had fallen off. He thought an evening school was a benefit toevery town, and said that a vlutiorhe schools could not help but convince any one of the interest taken by those who did attend. lie did not favor the hiring of day school teachers for the alghtschoola. it was voted that all of the reports he accoptul and printed in the Board of School Visitors report.

The continual blasts of the whistlefiroused Norwalk as well on Will- nipauk people, and at first it was thought the mills were on fire. A number of people went up to Winnlpauk and others waited until the IMF our came down, when it was learned that the blaze was caused by the destruction of a horn on the old Lounsbury place. The structure was near the long building owned by the mill company, and fears were entertain- ed at one time that the mill might lnke lire. . The horn was leased by J. C. Kindle, the postmaster and wellvknown grocer. John McNerney, a stone cutter who lives lu-vWinnipsuk, was passing the place and discovered the flames. They had gained considerable headway. and after giving the alarm to the watchman at the mills, be rushed into the structure. only to be driven back by the flames.

Ran- dle’s horse, three wagons, hamsters, blankets and what hay and grain there was in the building, were burned. The loss is upwards of “.000. The Ire is supposed to have been of incendiary ori‘ gin. The barn was insured for N00 through Cowles a Merrill. Mr. Randle had .75 insurance on his horse and $75 on harnesses and vehicles. There was about 3150 loss on the barn, and Mr. liandle's loss is nearly 0500. The hose belonging to the mill was need in attempting to put out the flames and in saving the long building.

As was stated in yesterday's Shortlist, the Consolidated road applied to the Court of Common Plans for a modifica tion of the injunction grantrd to Bord- man Bernhard and wife The railroad company wanted the injunction modifi- ad so that it did not cover the Norwslk Trdmwsy company I‘ right of way Attorney Hurlbult said that tho Bur- ebsrd injunction was not intended to cover the Tramway pgople. and made a statement to the court to that effect. The injunction still remains as before. The railroad company claim that the Railroad Commissioners have given them permission to cross the Tramway tracks and that their injunction against them will not hold. Constable Ireland served the injuncc tion obtained Monday afternoon by At- torney Frost, on Foreman William O’Lesry.of the railroad company,at0 o'clock yesterday morning, but did not serve the papers on Secretary W. D.Bish- op until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Meanwhile the railroad company laid the crossover between the Tramway rails. When Superintendent lisnsilelemf the latter corporation, heard of this he gave instructions to have the treasurer re- moved. Agsng of workmen preceded to the spot Ihl r‘lly after dark, and at 7 o'clock began tearing up the crossover and rails of the railroad company and throwing them into the ditch. About midnight the switch engine and a gang of railroad employrs went to the crossing. and guarded the railroad com- pany’s proper! y the balance of the night. and this morning began relaying the crossover rails. The Tramway company have as yet done nothing further in the matter, no they are awaiting the return from Bridgeport of their attorney, Colo- nol Russell Frost. Tho Tramway company is willing that acre-over should be put in. but had made an agreement that it should be an improved steam railroad crossover, which is one solid block,” with groves for the car wheels to'go throu h. The cross: over the railroad company is putting in in known as a common bump or jump crossing, where a rail runs up to the Tramway tracks on each side, and an— other rail is placed in the carrier of the two rails, and the wheels of the railroad cars would run over the Tramway tracks. The Tramway company object to this on the ground that it will seriously injure their line. and they say they do not pro pose to have it remain down, if it is p a- sible to have it changed. An agent of the Standard Oil com- pany searched the town records, yester- day,and he claims that Dir. llnrchard and his wife do not own the property that they have asked the court to pro tect by injunction restraining the Con- solidated road from putting in the spur.
