Councilman Smith. at last night's ses-
sion of the South Norwalk Board of
Councilmen, made a motion that the
mayor's message be taken from the table,
and the paragraph referring to the ap-
pointment of a street commission ap-
proved.
Councilman Trowbridge thought the
matter should not be acted upon hastily.
It should come before a city meeting to
ascertain whether the people are in favor
of a commission or not.
Councilman Hatch said that. if only
one man was appointed. it would not
be necessary to call a city meeting.
Councilman Smith then withdrew his
motion, and introduced the following
ordinance.
RELATIVE TO BOARD or srnnn'r connin-
crowns.
Be it enacted by the Board of Council-
men of the city of South Norwalk:
Section 1. There is hereby establish-
ed a Board of Street Commissioners, in

lowing such election and until his

nance is hereby amended by striking out
of every line and section thereof, the
word “commissioner" and inserting in

sioners.” and by striking out the sing-
ular verbs and inserting the plural verbs
toagree accordingly; and the parts of
said ordinance or amendments thereof,
as provide for the appointment of a
street commissioner and city surveyor.
are hereby repealed to take effect when
this ordinance becomes valid and bind-
in .

missioners shall employ all the labor

Adopted by the Board of Councilmen
of the City of South Norwalk. January
as. ism.
It was voted that the committee on
streets take charge of allmaps, tools,etc.,
connected with this department.
Councilman Comstock made a mo-
tion that. as llllil was entirely a new
matter, it be laid on the table, and that
the Board proceed to the appointment
of a street commissioner. This was
put toavotc, and lost by four to two.
the two Democratic members, Messrs.
Trowbridge and Comatock, voting in
favor of the motion.
Councilman Kendall thought the
matter might as well be discussed now
as at anytime. He spoke favorably of
the commission, on the ground of cocoa.
my, as the roads would be much better
cared for by a continuous commission
than by a new man each year who did
. not get thoroughly acquainted with his
work before his term of oilice expired.
Attorney Light stated, in response to
questions from the councilman, that he
considered that the present commission-
er Wouldbe legislated out of office by
the passage of the ordinance, permitting
the street commission to assume all the
duties now maintained by the street
commissioner.
Councilman Comstock said he thought
the commission Would have a tendency
to increase the salaries of city officials.
He could remember the time when the
mmmbip of the water fund was con‘
aimed an honorary position. and was
held for yours by one of the city‘s most.

Section 25, of the General Statutes,
said, the raising of the salary

who will be be benefited is holding office
and he called on Attorney Light to veri-
fy his ataterneht. Mr. Ccmstcck was
not in favor of rushing the matter, .and
thought favorably of letting it go be-
fore the people at the annual city meet-
ing.‘ ‘
Councilman Kendall said he would in-
form the last speaker that this thing
was not tobe passed in the dark. He
had consulted a number of the largest
taxpayers and they were unani-
mously in favor of a commison. and had
said with one voice that it would be a
solution of the whole matter of the care
of the streets. It should not be passed
in a hurry, however, and he was willing
to wait.
Councilman Comstock ‘ said that if
John L. Richards was on the commis-
mission he would .be in favorof it. The
question was called .for and carried
unanimously.
“Health Committeeman Kendall
brought up the subject of a new school
house, urged by the subcol committee
on account of the present crowded con-
dition of the city schools, and in con-
nection with this he called attention to
Health Officer Cobnrn’s last report to
the State Board of Health. in which he
showed that an unhealthfnl condition
existed in this respect. If the rooms
were overcrowded and ndt properly ven-
tilated they should be attended to and
some action taken.
Councilman Smith moved that the
matter be referred to the committee on
health, with power to investigate the
condition of affairs.
Councilman (‘omstock ,waufcd to
know if a new schoolhouse, which
would soon have to be. built would not
obviate the trouble.
Councilman liatch thought the com-
mittee on health had power enough now
to attend to all that was necessary, but
at length a motion prevailed that the
committee on health look into the mat-
ter, and be given whatever power was
needed in the work.
Councilman Kendall also spoke of the
plumbing tests made necessary for the
healthful condition of a city. and moved
thnta smoke testing machine be pur-
chased. An amendment was added at
a coat net to exceed $75.
Councilman Comstock moved to
amend this still further by having it
read that plumbers should provide
themselves with this machine, and make
the tests under the direction of the
Health Department. He did not think
the time had come for the. city to go into
the plumbing business. even though Dr.
Kendall said the machine could be
rented out, and would pay for itself in
ashqrt time.
Councilman Kendall then withdrew
his motion, on the ground that he did
not want to force the machine on the
city.
Councilman Comstock offered the
following:
Resolved. That when we ballot for
assessors, we elect only one, at a salary
not to exceed $200 per year.
Councilman Hatch objected to this on
the ground that one man could not do
the work. If Mr. Comatock amended
the resolution to make it read two asses-
sors. at a salary of $100 apiece, he would
have no objection. This sum, Mr.
Hatch said, was all the Board received
last year.
The resolution was adopted unani-
mously, and the Board adjourned.
The Boston Sim Will Not Press the Charge:
Agalnrt Min Flood.
The testimony in the case of State
against Miss Mamie Kelly. arrested for
being implicated with Katie la‘lood in
muting goods under false pretenses,
was completed. yesterday afternoon, and
the court adjourned to 10 o'clock this
morning, when the arguments in the
case were heard. At the hearing you-
terday. the defense presented its side of
the case, which embodied in general
denial of the charges made against Miss
Kelly by Miss Flood.
It has been learned (lid? Miss Flood
has settled for the goods she purcbamd
at the Norwulk Boston store and which
were charged to Mrs. A. ll. Camp, her
former employer. The proprietors will,
therefore, not press the charge against
her.

Ollie constable Hunt to Serve the
‘ Papers—Ir. Austin Interest-d.
Mrs. Alice E. Clark was arrested yes-
terday afternoon, npona charge of de-
facing thelinterior of the house in Mott
avenue, which she formerly owned and,
occupied.
One day last week Lewis H. Decker,
who conducts a wall paper and paint
store in Washington street. foreclosed a
judgment lieu secured against Mrs.
Clerk in the Town Court, and took
posessicn of the property last Saturday.
when he discovered that every room in
the house, which is known as the An-
drew Selleck place, as well as the halls.
had been smeared with some dark, dirty
substance. The gas fixtures and other
fixtures belonging to the house had been
removed. Altogether the damage, it is
estimated, amounted to between $250
and $300. .
A warrant was issued for the arrest of
Mrs. Clark, who was suspected of hav-
ing disfigured the walls. She vacated
the house last Thursday. and, it was
supposed, left town. Her whereabouts
was unknown. and Constable Hunt, in
whosehands the warrant was placed,
experienced some difllculty in locating
her.
Yesterday afternoon however Mrs.
Clark was seen to board a trolley car at
South Norwnlk for Norwalk. Attorney
Fred A. Hill, who was familiar with the
fact that a warrant was out for her ar-
rest, was a passenger on the car, and he
took upon himself the duty of a detec~
tivo. When the car reached the corner
of Orchard street and West avenue Mrs.
Clark alighted. us did also Mr. Hill. She
went into the "long building" at the
corner of West avenue and Orchard
street, while Mr. Hill sauntered into his
home nearly opposite and telephoned to
Constable Hum.
The officer, in company with ex-Jus-
tics Alfred E. Austin, walked down to
Orchard street, stopping at a point
where Mrs. Clark could not see thorn
when she made her exit. Mr. Hill,
behind a lace curtain in a front room of
his home, kept his eyes on the house
across the way. Presently he saw Mrs.
Clark mnerge and walk up West avenue.
lie hastened down Orchard street and
beckoned to Constable Hunt, who re-
sponded on :1 run. By the time he
reached the corner of West avenue and
Merwin street Mrs. Clark was well on
her way up town.
Joust-able Hunt jumped into E. H.
Morchouse's delivery wagon at Merwin
street, and driving up the avenue ever-
took Mrs. Clark near St. Mary‘s church
and placed her under arrest. The fair
prisoner was escorted before Judge Hub-
bell, who assigned her case for trial at ‘2
o’clock this afternoon and placed her in
the custody of the oillcer until that time.

Henry A. Hoyt and George E.i.ane.the
men caught in Harry Goodwin's cloth-
ing store on the Washington street
bridge. Sunday, were yesterday after-
noon taken to Bridgeport jail to await
trial. Hoyt was unable to find anyone
willing to go his surety in the sumof
$500. and although Lane's mother ex-
pressed a willingness to go on his bond.
Judge Frost could not accept it from
her, as she was married before 1877,
when the state law regarding this mat-
ter went into effect.

The Force of Habit.
Brooklyn contains more people who
look to son that which does poem-mt.
and which they know does not (met,
than any city in the world. And it is
simply lwcnusu of habit. Nearly all the
railroads in ilmt city, in the older part
of the city. or Brooklyn as it was before
Williainsburg was annexed and assimi-
lated, cmivergo at the city hall, and
until two or three years ago tho town
chick was in thereupnlnoftlnit building.
During the many years that if announc-
ml the time by bull and indicated it on
its four dials to tho Brooklynitcs every
person who passed "the hall" looked to
see what time it was. The habit became
an instinct to most Brooklynites, and
today, although they know that fire de-
stroyed the oupoln, clock and all. there
is hardly a person who stops from a car
at the City Hall square or passes the
building who does not look inqbiringiy
toward the spot where the clock was
but is not.--Ncw York Times.
The First Astronomy.
The beginnings of astronomy were on
the trips of towers of Babylon and the
jwramulsof Egypt. It is believed by
many writers that both classes of struc-
tures were erected for astronomical pur‘
poses. As early as the iium of Job,
nearly 2,000 years before Christ, most
of the stars had been divided into cen-
ntellotiom. The writer of Job mentions
Arcturus, Orion and Plclades as being”
familiar. The modern science dates
from the am of comical. Tycho.

Philadelphia, Jan. 26.—-The biggest
fire that has visited this city in years is
now raging in the block bounded by
Thirteenth and Juniper and Market and
Filbert streets. Already the loss has
reached $1,000,000, and the couflagra-
tion is not under control.
The roof and tower of John Wana-
maker‘s big dry goods store on the south
side of Market street, directly opposite
the fire, is ablaze. The weather is
bitter cold and this renders the work of
the firemen difficult. '
At 0:30 the fire in Wanamaker’s was
confinedtoihe‘Market street end. and
unless something unforeseen occurs the
flames will do comparatively little dum-
ago to that immense structure.
Mr. Wanamaker was apparently the
least concerned man in the great crowd,
as he made his way from one pirt of the
establishment to another, directing
the movements of his employees.
Meanwhilelhc firemen were having
thelrhnuds fullconiiningthe flames to

had been completely gutted.
Shortly offer 9 o‘clock two firemen

after the street railroadr'of the. state. f,
Today he offered the following bill to
become a statute law: '
“No street railway now existing or
highway in this state without first.
obtaining the consent in writing of a.
majority of the owners of the real
estate along that portion of such high.
way to be used by such street railway.”
Attorney Wakeman thinks it is about ,
time to call a halt in granting valuable
franchises, and especially to foreign
corporations.
The legislators are considerably .stirred
up over the proposed bill subjecting
private banks to the supervision of‘the
state bank commissioners. In view of
recent failures of private banks the pro-
posed bill is finding many sympathmers,
and a mammoth petition will accompany
the bill soon to be introduced. ,
This afternoon there are to be two im-
portant hearings before committees. The
Humane Institutions committee, of) ,
which Senator Louusbnry, of Bidgefield.
is chairman, will begin hearings on the
state rcformaiory matter, and at 2 o’clock
this afternoon the Judiciary committee
began a hearing on the bill by which
hotel guests will take their own risks on
valuables left in their rooms.
Both branches of the legislature as-
eembled at 12:30 and business began
with a rush.
