Previous to the Dancing.

Arion, who, woording to tradition,
was home safely through the turbulent
sea upon the bwk of a dolphin, supposed
to have been charmed by his music, rul-
ed the night in South Norwalk last
night. It was the occasion of the elev-
enth annual ball of the popular singing
moiety which bears the name of the
celebrated post and player. As was ex-
pected. it was larger and grander than
any of its predecessors. The floor of
the society's hall in Madison street was

‘ filled with dancers, and the balcony
wastaxed to its utmost capacity with
interested spasm-s.

The decorations were more elaborate
than ever before, the hall abounding in

’ festoons of flagsand bunting, most ar-
tistically arranged. American flags
were suspended from the chandeliers,
and streamers of red, white and blue
formed a network across the ceiling,
while on the sides of the hall were ever-
greens, laurel leaves. wreaths, etc.

Early in the evening young men and
misses, attired in gay costumes, began
to arrive. They promenaded about the
hall or cut capers until 9:30 o’,clock
when Promptcr Charles Yost. announced
that the grand march would be formed.
He had intended to work out an anchor
and an “A," representing Arion, but
only succeeded in getting partly through
the pretty figure, when the participan
were obliged to stop on account of the
crowd, which had been increasing ev cry
minute. The movements were, howev-
or, most pleasing and greatly enjoyed by
the spectators. Tlieijh fire nearly two
hundred couples in line, the largest
gathering of dangers ever known to as-
semble on the floor more.

The floor committee led: Manager.
Herman Malmo: nssistnnti George
Sheer; aidsipmtllh . fl ,Jr., William
Wenerlt,"ChArles F ‘ ,-.E Dur-
beek. They were'elegan y attired as
princes, their costumes being of the
most magnificent character. The col-
lection of maskers' codtuines, many of
them beautiful, gave additionnl .anima-
tion to the scene.

George Schaub, William Meseberg, and

Oyster Beds All Right. ,
. The oyster beds,as far as can be Icaru-
ed, have been little damaged by last
week’s istorm. Something over a 111' -
lion dollars is invested in the oyster
growing industry between Clinton and
Norwalk, and damage to the beds by a‘
gale would result in very heavy losses.
A member of the H. J. Lewis company
said they had f0ur boats dredging off Mil-
ford, but they reported when they came
in that the catch was as good as usual,
and that no damage of any material
consequence had occurred where they
had been at work. The depth of water
was from five to six fathoms. It is pos-
sible, said the person interviewed, that
' some damage may have been done in
shoal 1vater,‘but from investigation a1.
ready made, it looks as though the oys-
ters had largely escaped damage. He
reports the starfish at present as doing
most disastrous work, and says that they
are badly harassing the oyster " growers
along the Connecticut shore. The oys-
ter market' is good, better than last year,
though European shipments have been
reduced.

Esther Ann Sharrott, wife of Wash-
ingtonM. Sharrott, died this morning
at 2:300',clock at her home in Wood
ward avenue. Mrs. Sharrott was in her
sixty-sixth year. She had been ill for
some time with a complication of dis~
cases, but bore her sufferings with
Christian fortitude. She was a member
of the First Methodist Episcopal church.
Ason, M. J. Sharrott, and a daughter,
Mrs. George W. Gladstone, survive.
Funeral services willbeheld from her
late home, Thursday afternoon at 2

Editor of the finch—Do we have

of Mayhew, today, he proved a perfect
allbl. or else a dozen reputable citizens
are gro- perjuiers. The guilty party
was seen by Mrs. Gregory in East ave-
nue from 11 o'clock until dark. May-

this time at South Horwalk, yet he was
found guilty. Is justice dead? lathe ver-

testimony of those men must be taken
or they should be arrested and tried for
perjury. Is our judge and attorney try—
ing tomake the Town Court a .paying

The trial becomes a farce when a man is
provon to be at 'South Norwalk at the
time. the crime was committed in Nor-
walk, and is still asked to pay a fine of
$25. Give 11s justice! Give us justice!

South Norwalk, Feb. 10.
Who WIll love In the Walter?

Editor of the Evening Sentinel—Dear
Sir: We note in the New York Tribune
of February 10th, a communication rela-
tive to the Bigelow company, of Fair
Haven. It states that they are consid-
ering the advisability of removing their
extensive boiler plant from that place
because they are so far from the rail-
road, and have been considering the city
of Bridgeport. Why cannot our Board
of Trade and our Improvement Society
interest themselves and secure the loca-
tion of this very extensive plant for
South Norwalk? This is one of the best
concerns in the country, and it would be
Well worth an effort. Who will be the
first to move in the matter?

PLANS FOR ANOTIIER YEAR.

The Wornan's Central Association Ilolds an
Inspiring Meeting In Its Club House. 7
An inspiring meeting of tho Woman's ‘
Central association was held in the club
house of the associationyesterday morn-
iug.The reportof the treasurer,Mrs.Frank
Comstock, showed the financial condi—
tion of the society to be fluttering. The
report of the'secrctary, Mrs E. II. Fox,
was most interesting.
The public-spirited and philanthropic
women who have given so freely of their
time, endeavor and money for two years,
find the pleasant assurance that the
warm spirit of friendliness between the
two cities has been one of the finest pro-
ducts of this unselfish work. In seeking
to benefit others they have found great
benefit themselves.
A nominating committee, consisting
of Mrs. T. K. Noble, chairman, Mrs.
Isaac S. Jennings and Mrs. W. A. Cur-
tis, was appointed, and a committee to
revise 'the constitution, Miss Pinneo,
chairman, to select her co- vorkers. An
adjourned meeting will be held this
week Saturday, at 10 a. 111. At this
time a most enterprising and progres—
sive plan for work for another year will
be reported upon, and the members of
the society who can make it convenient
to be present are sure to be much inter-
ested. ‘

NIIST PAY DARY‘S BOARD.

Or Else Wiltons Selectmen Must Take the In-
Ianl Out of Jail.

The 'Fairfield County Commissioners
have decided that the Wilton authori-
ties shall be taxed for the care and main-
tenance of the eleven months’ old child
of Mrs. Lillie Olnistcad, confined with
the latter in the county jail. If the. in-
fm1t is permitted to remain in the instiv
tution a bill of costs for its support will
be forwarded to 'thc. . selectincu of Wil-
ton. They havc been so advised. When .
the child, which is a remarkably bright
boy, was but two months old the Wil-
ton authorities took it from its mother
and whensix months old turned it over
to Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt, of New Canaan.
for adoption. Subsequently ‘ the foster
parents of the child, as well as its moth-
or, were arrested in a place of ill repute
and bound over to the upper courts.
Sheriff Hawlcy at first declined to ac-
cept the infant—Bridgeport Union. .
