The city of South Not-walk. through
City Attorney John H. Light. of the
law firm of Light d7 Taylor. brought
suit this morning Wit Herman
Snyder, ex-tax collector of the city of
South Norwalk, and the sureties on his
band, for 08,000. They are ex-Mayor
William B. Hubbell, and the executors
of the estate of Dudley P. Ely. Mrs.
Augusta E. Frost. Mrs. Dudliue E.
Raymond, of South Norwalk, and Mrs.
MaryE. Millard, of Delhi, N. Y. The
case isreturnable in the Superior Court
the first Tuesday in April.

Mr. Snyder was tax collector for
South Norwalk during the years l800,
1801 and 1892. and was found short
87,819 in his accounts. Mr. Hubbell
and the late Mr. Ely were Mr. Snyder's
bondsmen, each in the sum of $8,000,
for each year. which more than covers
Mr. Snyder’s shortage to the city. and
the amount for which the suit is brought.

 

NER RESIGNATION A SURPRISE.

Thelleal Cause of In. IIIII's Withdrawal
from the County Home lmgement.

The resignation of Mrs. A. B. Hill, of
France street, secretary of the Board of
Management of the Fairdeld County
Home. reported in The Sentinel yester-
day, was not only a surprise to her
many friends in Norwalk. but to the
County Commissioners.

In conversation with a Sentinel re-
porter, this morning, County (‘ommis-
sioner Lee said he was indeed surprised
at Mrs. Hill's action. The resignation,
he said, gave no explanation, but was
imperative in its demand that it take ef-
fect at once. Mr. Lee said Mrs. Hill
had been a valuable woman on the Board.
Her work had always been greatly ap-
preciated, and it was with sincere regret
that herreslgnation had been naceived.
The'matter, he said. had not yet come

‘ before the Board for discussion.
commissioner Mend was" also sorry
that Mrs. Hill resigned. He said he was
surprised and knew of no reason for her
course.

A reporter was informed this morning
from another source that the cause of

, Mrs. Hill's resignation dates back to the
time when Mrs. Shelton, the visitor
from Shelton resigned. The visitors
and Board of Management are supposed
to be consulted in t e matter of placing
children in families. Mrs. Shelton plac-
ed a child and the matron, Miss”Phclps,
sent an im rative letter, it is said, do-
mauding t e child’s return to the Home.

Mrs. Shelton thought the matron was ‘D

exceeding her not crity, and resigned.
Since that time the management has
been unable to secure a visitor from
Shelton. Mrs. Hill interceded in Mrs.
Shelton's behalf.

Miss Phelps claims that in the stand
she has taken, she is supported by the
County Commissioners.

In the Superior Court, yentenlay fore-
noon. before Judge George W. Wheeler.
the Darlen mandamuscase was called
up. Ben. J. H. Olmetead, oabehalf of
Selectman Klinofelter. stated to the
court that he discovered. Thursday mount
ing. by looking at the original writ, that
no other service had been made on
Messrs? Klinefelter and Waterbury than
by leaving a copy at their usual place of
abode. The statutes expressly provided
that in case of mandamus a copy must
be left with each of the parties instead
of at their residence or place of abode.
Thursday he had filed aplea of abate-
ment on the ground that no personal
service having been made on Klinefelter
he knew nothing of the case until Tues-
day evening. when he returned from
Pennsylvania, where he had been visit-
ing. He had had no opportunity to
confer with Mr. Mackey, and the latter
did not feel authorised to employ coun-
sel until he had had an opportunity to
confer with Mr. Klinefelter.

For these reasons Mr. Mackey had
prepared areturn, which was signed in
court Wedneulay by Mr. Klinefelter,
and filed as their answer. They had in-
formed him that the court had advised
them to employ coansel and be ready for
a hearing yesterday on the demurrer.
unless their counsel should deem it ad-
visable to withdraw the answer: but in
either case should inform their counsel
that a new answer must be ready yes-
terday.

The court stated that as Messrs.
Klinefeltcr and Mackey had appeared
and filled their answer Wednesday, he
felt compelled to refuse a hearing on a
plea of abatement at present; but here-
after in any finding that might arise. he
would grant defendants the benefit of
inserting therein a statement of what
had occured with regard to it.

Mr. Olmstead then asked permission
towithdraw the answer filed Wednes-
day and the court granted it. He then
filed a new return. when a demurrer
was immediately entered to a part of it.
and the court fixed next Friday as the
day for a heariu upon it. The new re-
turn filed yester ay is as follows:

“As to paragraph one of the manda-

‘mus complaint it is denied that Wilbur
I". Finch was at the time of signing
the petition mentioned in said complaint
and is not now qualified to vote in town
meetings in said Darien. And it is al-
leged that Samuel P. Thompson, George
N. Thompson, C. E. Calhoun and
George A. Thompson were induced to
sign said petition fraudulent misre -
reseutations and mat they signed t e
same under a misapprehension and have
in writing requested the withdraw‘al of
their names from said petition and have
withdrawn the sham and notified the
defendants thereof and therefore allege
that the said petition does not contain
the names of twenty legal voters in said
Darien. The remainder of paragraph
one is admitted.
“Paragraphs two, three, six and seven
are admitted, but the seleotmen were
compelled to call a special town meeting
for the purpose of electing a tax collec-
tor for said town of Darlen.

“Paragraph four is admitted, but the
said Klinefelter and Mackey, as such
selectmen, allege that two weeks after
the death of said Whitney. the town of
Minion, having made no appointment
to fill the vacancy caused in the. office
of collector of said town by the death
of said Whitney. the selectmen of said
town, all being present, did, the 27th
day of January, 1896, a point Joseph
Hindley, a resident and egal voter of
said Darien, collector of taxes for said
town of Darien, and the said Hindley
acce ted of said office and gave. bonds
to tie satisfaction of said selectmen
and did qualify according to law, and
has collected a considerable portion of
the taxes due, and has sent bills for,

" said taxes to nearly all the taxpayers

in said town. The salary of collector
of taxes for Darien is $300 per year.

“Paragraph five of the mandamus
complaint is admitted, except it is de-
nied that said petition contained the
names of 20 legal voters of said town of
Darien: and it is alleged that it con-
tained the names of only eighteen legal
voters entitled to vote in town meetings
of said town, as set forth in paragraph
one of this return."

Following is the full text of the de-
murrer. signed by Samuel Fessenden,
state's attorney:

.“The said state's attorney demurs
to paragraphs one and four of the said
return, because the facts alleged there-
in do not affect the legal force and ef-
fect of the petition as signed and pre
sented to the said selectmen, and fur-
ther demurs to the third paragraph
thereof, because the facts alleged in
said paragraphs do not excuse the said
selectmen from calling said meeting as
prayed for in said petition."

HUNTING FOR BURGLARS.

A Bright Light and an Unlocked Door Excite
the Susplolons ol the Police.

. An officer was walking up Washing-

ton strect, between :I and «1 o‘clock this

moming, when he noticed a bright light

in the basement of Theodore Olsen's

shoe store. The officer listened, heard a

noise, and then came to the conclusion

that someone was in the store.

Officers Gladstone and Pennington
tried the door of the store. which they
found locked, and then tried the iron
door opening into the cellar. This was
unlocked. The officers then prepared
themselves to capture or kill someone,
and quietly entered. A thorough search
was made. but no one was found lurking
behind the boxes in the basement. The
officers then climbed the stairs which
lead to the first floor. They found the
door unfastened. and entered the store.
There was no one there. and nothing in

PUGNACIOUS ROOSTEBS.
Danbury Police Give Eight Cells to es lacy
Game Birds.

The eight masters captured in the raid
upon the cock fight at Danbury two
weeks ago. are still held by the police of
that city. There is no law under which
the. police can dispose of the fowls and
the only thing to be done with them is

to keep them until they die natural
deaths or surrender them to their own-
ers. As yet no one has cared to identify
the birds. although the owners have
several times sent an attorney to claim
them. The police are after the actual
owners and refuse to surrender the fowls
to anyone else. ‘

Each rooster is kept in a separate cell.
The moment that two are permitted to
get together they begin to fight, and if
the lot were placed in one cell it would
only be a question as to which of the
birds could longest wage battle. They
even try to fly at each other between the
bars of their cells. '

in Prison.

Many people expected that in New '
York state Sam Pine. the negrodeepe-
rado, would receive a life sentence. He
was. however. charged only with high!
way robbery.
Slocum. in North Salem, about fourteen

years ago. he stole her watch and chain
and a gold dollar which she had in her
possession.

When Pine was arraigned in court in
White Plains. Wednesday, he denied
his guilt and made a hard fight to
secure his liberty. He was “placed in a
row of colored men in the bite Plums
jail. Wednesday afternoon, and the
witnesses had no difficulty in picking lulu
out, although they had not seen him for
years. ‘

When Pine was sentenced yesterday
afternoon he smiled and said that
twenty years was not a long time. It
really means twelve years imprison-
ment, for eight years of his time wall be

 

commuted if he behaves himself properly
1 while in prison. He was taken to
, Sing Sing—Danbury News.
