Discussed at a Special City Meeting
Yesterday Afternoon.

mountain um WEDNESDAY,

Whoa City Engineer Wood Will Furnish Esti-
mates otthe Cost-8tmt to be Widened'
on the South Side—How Iho Work
will be Done—No Opposition.

Theproject of widening and repnviug
Wall street came before a special city
meeting at the Town House, yesterday
afternoon, and after discussion the meet-
ing adjourned without action until next
week Wednesday afternoon at 3 o‘clock.

About one hundred and fifty citizens
were present at the meeting. Mayor
Wheeler. presiding. The Mayor explain
aid the call, stating that it was a matter
that had been agitated for years. He
explained that the idea of the city
Council was to bring it before the citi-
zens and see whether they desired the
improvement made, the present time
.being chosen, as it was thought it could
follow along with the Mill Hill wopk. If
«be change was made the stmet railway
tracks Would have to be changed and
therefore it would also be a good time
for the paving. The mayor said he hop-
ed it would be discussed and the good or
badpoints be picked out as they pre-
sented themselves to the gathering.

Editor B. W. Maples set the ball roll-
"ing by inquiring if the city engineer had
made the prdpor surveys.

“The engineer has thoroughly looked
intoqhe matter and made several sur-
veys as to different ways the improve-
ments can be made," responded the
mayor. .,

Engineer Wood presented a profile of
theproposed improvements. He explain-
ed that one plan gave the widening up-
on the south side of the street, lowering
the walk in front of the Wilson block,
and buildings walk on brackets from
the bridge south of the present side-
walk and throwing the latter into the
street. Seven feet would be cut off the
Ratchford building, about twelve feet
trim the Lockwood building adjoining,
and three feet (it! the ' People's market,
leaving an eight foot sidewalk all along
that side of the street, and aroad thirty-
seven feet in width instead of twenty-
nine. Another plan wins to cutoff three
feet from the walk in front of the Guz-
ette building, leaving the walk twelve
feet wide, and widen the bridge on that
side. This change made awalk eight
feet wide outside of the vault lights in
front of the Gazette block. The engineer
further stated that Mr. Byington had
been seen and did not oppose the im-
provements.

Mayor chler offered a resolution that
theMnyor and Council be instructed to
cause Wall street to be widened upon
the sohth side of the street.

This was seconded.

"Can yon give us figures as to the ox-
peuse?’ ’_asked J ridge Austin.

“The cost of the work won‘t be so
great,” explained Engineer Wood, “but
it will cost something to secure the
land."

”Is the bridge strong enough to sup-
port n sidewalk built on brackets?"
queried Mr. Maples.

He was informed in the affirmative.

“Does the vote cover the north side of
the street.” asked A. H. Byington.

Mr. llyington was informed that it
did not.

It was stated by Mr. Byington that
he did not oppose the widening of the
street on his side and was willing to
give the walk necessary, as he was no
obstructionist. “In fact," he said, “it
wouldbe agood thing to take off thv
angle in the walk where the present
telephone monstrosity is erected.

Editor Maples thought it was imperi-
tivo that the cost should be known.

«I'Do we assess benefits and damages?"
asked 0. L. Glover.

“It must be such an assessment,” res-
ponded the mayor.

"Cannot one-half of the cost be as-
sessed upon the city?" asked Mr. By-
ington.

City Attorney Lockwood explained
that in taking lurid, the entire benefits
and damages were assessed upon adjoin-
ing property owners, but in street par.
lug one-half was assessed to adjoining
property-ovrners and one-half to the
city. “I

After some further discussionit was
voted to adjourn until next Week, Wed-
nesday to allow the city engineer to fur-
nish ancstlmnte of the cost. As the
election booths will, be in the Town
House it was decided to have the Coun-
cil call the meeting at the Not-walk
Opera House or wherever else they
deemed best. ..

All through the meeting t ere seemed
to be no opposition to the lm roveraent.
and itwill undoubtedlybe vo at the
next meeting. . ’

The Third and First District Republi-
can town caucus, to be held at Norwalk
tonight, ought to honor itself by unani‘
mously rte-nominating Isaac‘Bclleck for
selectman. Mr. Selleck's record has
been so good and his services so satis-
factory, as well as profitable, to the
town, that it would bemost unwise to
make a change. . We have too few such
men as Captain Selleck in office, and
when we got one we ought to keep him.

The Second District RopublicMn
and city caucus will be held at Arlen
Halbtomorrow night. There is a feel:
ing that South Nor-walk is entitled to u
selectinan, and Mr. Themes may have
some opposition on that issue.

The Democrats of the Second district
will meet to nominate town and city
ofilcers Thursday night. Vs have heard
of only one name for Select an W. W.
Comstock. Whether this is agiheablc to
Mr. Cornstock we have not learned, but
if he will accept, and is elected the
Democratic representative on the Board,
be and Selectman Sellcck would com-
pose a majority that Would do town
business on business principles.

The man most prominently mention-
ed for Republican candidate for mayor
of South Norwalk‘ is Andrew J. Hutch-
inson. ()tliers are ‘Slephen S. Hutch
and Robert ll. Rowan. The Democrats
are looking toward 8. C. Palmer andtho
issue of reform. ..

In the town and city affairs party
lines cannot and dught not to be closely
drawn. The best qualifications should
win. ‘ .

A determined effort, it is hinted, Will
be made to turn down George B. St. John,
the veteran tax collector, who has held
that cities for years. His' competitors
for the nominatil ill are Thomas Cousins, a
life long Republican, and a former mann—
f'actnror, and James L. Hoyt, of East
Nor-walk. The claims of the friends of
the opposition to St. John are that he has
held the office long enrmgh to relinguisb
it for another. (In the other hand it is
h that Mr. St. John has acceptably
fl ed the office so well that he is entitled
to it as long as he does what is right.
Frank H. Merrill, has captured the
delegates to the Democratic town con.
vention and Will be rcnominuted as sol-
octmnn. without a doubt. There may be
some strife in the‘constablc nominatiggs
and also for the board of assessors.

Enforced.

our PERSONAL EXIlEllIEIltES

 

A Decrease [in Crime Means An Increase in
Happiness-Solos by Messrs. Force, Hirst
and Perkins—Ir. Hull May Possibly ‘
Speak inffto Not-walk Opera House.

It. A. Hill], prosecuting attorney for
New London county, made a strong plea
for no license, last evening, before an
audiance of men, in the Norwalk Metho-
dist Episcopal church. llis speech was
in the nature of an indictment against
the liquor trafilc and he spoke to his
audience as to a jury. Concerning the
enforcement of law. which seems who
the chief argument to be met, he says:

"You cap’t enforce the law. That’s

the cry we have to meet. Rum will be
sold, anyhow, they tell us. I say you
can enforce it. I know what I am talk~
lug about for I have helped to do it.
A great misfortune befell K me in
August, 1893, and I came to the feet of
the Lord Jesus. I believe I heard him
say to me you know how“ to do it; you
must do it. I seemed to hear my dead
child say ‘It’s your duty to do it.‘ So 1
said to the people, ‘Will you vote no?’ If'
you will I will, enforce the law. They
said ‘lt won’t do argued. They'll sell
just the same." Well, they voted no in
October, ‘93. The licenses expired in
November. You know in brcaking u
steer ho is first allowed to run without
restraint. I let those saloon hoppers
run sigh wé’cks éiftor licenses expir-
ed and“ men came to me and
said, 'I told you so. There is more
rum sold than cver,’ which was true.
But one line Saturday night the band
struck up a new tune and loaded druys
passed through the streets with liquors
which had been seized. You never saw
rabbits take to the woods quicker than
did those saloon keepers. Butlikc rubbifs
they soon came out of their holes again
and on another fine Saturday night. the
baud struck up a new tune and again
the mbbits took to their holes. But tin
biggest and most influential one of the:
lot was caught ml handed. Ila cann-
to me and weeping on Mrs. Hull‘s our-
pet he begged for mercy. Itold him to
some in the morning and I would do»
bide. llc come again next day and l
told him that if in) wofild plead
guilty and zurcup'f a fine of $30 and thirty
days in jail we would let the matter end
there. He accepted the propisition and
very smut tho floor of the jail i'linkml ho
hind his back. Then :“l the rabbit.-
wont into their holes again. The people
said lhcsulc of liquor had stopped, but i
recognised ‘tliutfitlu‘rc were leaks in tin
old bulk and it{‘\\v:m not until Mr
'l‘hrushvr lll‘tfl sent his men through the
town three times and we had made :1
final raid. whontho influential man who
led the column to jail before wont to
jail a second time, that the places were
closed tight.”
Mr. llull spoke of the decrease in
crime in Stonington and the increase in
happiness, it was I‘oimn‘kwl that if the
votvrsol Norwalk could all hour Mr.
llull's speech the town Would surely go
no license. llo may [wissibly spunk next
Sunday afternoon in the Nor-walk Upcra

The followinghfrom the Bridgeport
Telegram: A great throng of people
assembled a Seasldopark Saturday after-
noon to witness the several events in
tie third of the series of races.

Four horses“eutered the 2:40 class,
but the feature was between a Norwalk
horse, owned by Thomas Ward, the
lwellknoWn-hatter of 350' Main street.
and a pacer owned by John Patterson, of
this city. The race was supposed to be
one of the slow events of the day’s
meet, but before it was finished it
proved to be the fastest, the pace being
cut down tollll. It was dlfllcnlt to get
the horses oil and about a dozen trials
resulted. When they were off, how-
ever, it was a neck and neck race.
Henry Cursteson drove Mn. Ward's
horse, which was christened by the
judges. "Inc Smith," as his name was
unku wu. .The heat was finished amid
grout c citcment, Carstesen sending
“Lee b‘mlth” across. the line» a clear
length ahead of his nearest competitor.
the timenbeing 2:34. -

The second heat was taken by Patter-
son's pamcr in a fraction over 2:2“.
When the horses came up for the final
thcrxcitemeut was at its height. "Loo
Smith" was a handsome little stopper
andas pretty apiece of horseflosh as
has appeared on the track this season.
.llany were taken by surprise at his
work when it was ascertained that it
was the first time the horse had been on
the track in seven months and was still
soft. Patterson's pacer was Well known
as. one that has done good work before.
When the final came it was bolicvod
that “Lee Smith” wouldcomc in the
winner as he had a ,good load up to the
three quarter mark, but this point one
of these unforeseen accidents which turn
a racvoccurcd. The little borso broke
a'nd touring off both boots out a deep
gush just above the hoof which partly
disabled him. Notwithstanding this he
was driven the circuit and finished neck
and lltll'li with the pacer amid the clients
of the crowd. ..

COMBINE TO BEAT RODGERS.

His Candidacy for Senator of the Thliteenfh
Not a Path of Roses.

The latest Republican news from the

ll. lhulgors may not after all receive it v
endorsement of that town for the umrib
nation for Smulor for th 'l‘hlrlccnlh
district He has a strong rival in
Colonel A. ll. T. Nichols, of (.il‘eel'l-
ticld llill, whose friends have for the
past wook been engaged in booming
him in a most industrious mamwr.
Colonel Nichols, besides being one of
the wealthiest of Fairflold‘s residents, is
also regarded as one of the shrewdrst
of the l-lopnblicuu politicians of his dis-I
trivia, and has invariably succeeded in so-
curing the nomination for whatever po»
liti sulolllco he has aspired. Ills affilia-
tlons have been with tho older-wing of
the party, while ltodgcrs has of late
been identified with the young Repub-
licans. Both have represented : the

as that was the ycnrof the Democratic
tidal wave, his defeat on that occasion
should not borogardod us in any senso
weakening him as a catididato this your.
While Fairfivtd .ltopubticmts seem to
fool conlldclit that the nomination will
fall to one of their number, it is by no
incuns certain that this fooling will be
justified by the result in the convention.
Rector, of Norwalk, who has represented
that town in the lower brunch ofbotlt
of tholast Legislatures, is also out for
the nomination, and is sure to glvenll

It is said that there is an understanding

there will be a swapping of forces rather
