The infort’ual ballot taken at our last
meeting as some guidance to the will
of the chapter was found to he scat-
tering. A inalorlty of the votes had to
be thrown out. as they had been cast
for the present regent. notwithstand-
ing her emphatic statement that she
would. not accept oilice for another
term. Those also. for your present
vice regent were put aside. as she had
repeatedly slgoidcd her unwillingness
to hold further onlcs and had been
made chairman of the nominating com-
mittee. There was, however. one
came upon the ballots that was select—
ed by the committee without a mo-
ment's hesitation and with entireun-
salinity. Your committee feltthc im-
portance of heading their ticket with
a representative woman. and that It
would be wise to choose a member who
lived In another quarter of the town
than the city of Norwalk. It was felt
that the next regent should be able to
sustain worthily the traditions of the
chapter. Your committee feel that
they have been fortunate In securing
such a person as a candidate. one who
will represent our chapter worthlly In
national and state meetings. who will
bring to It the freshness of interest and
the broaduesa of outlook resulting
from contact with other organisations.
The ticket was then read.
lduch apparent satisfaction was so
pressed in the applause which followed
the reading. it was evident that a
mooted question of a at candidate for
the regency had been settled to the
Pleasure of all concerned.
it was moved that the secretary be
empowered to cast one vote for the re
goal. but one member chiseled to this
and ballots were distributed. the re
salt being practically a unanimous
vote for lire. damsel Richards Weed.

many members of the church who
could not be present. some of whom

At just 8 o'clock the large gathering
adjourned to the church. where a pro-
gramme of music and addresses was
carried out. opening with the singing

Dr. Noble read for the scripture les-
son Psalm CXLV.. after which the con-
gregation rose and sang “Blest Be the
'l‘le That Binds."
Dr. Noble made a few remarks be-
coming to the occasion. lie enumerat-
ed some of the blessings the church
had received. Among them were the
harmony of the members and uninter-
rupted affection for one another; the
material prosperity of the church, in
that it had been thoroughly renovated
and beaut‘lned. and that the entire ea-
pense had been subscribed and the
debt paid. that today the church
was free from debt: the spiritual pros-
perity of the church. thirty-two per-
sons having united with the church

toward the church by the large congre-
gations that had attended the services.

three months the attendance had been
larger than ever before. He did raise
an objection. however. to. the fact that
the Sunday evening and mid-week ser-
vices were out as largely attended as
they ought to be. The death record of
the church had been unusually large.

removed. During the year there had
come in the church a parsonage. a
home spacious. beautiful and conveni-
ent. The present membership of the
church Is in. a gain of twelve over

had passed when some one did not

ciety Is the oldest one in town. and

London. Nov. lit-The most serious
fire in recent years is now raging here.
in several streets adjacent to the gen-
eralpoat-oflce. huge blocks of build-
ings are blaslug fiercely. Many houses
have collapsed and fifteen warehouses
have already been destroyed. Bulld-
lngs‘urc ablaze on both sides of the
street. thus preventing the firemen
from reaching the burning buildings.
The fire broke out In Homacll street
and worked through the beam to
Well street. a narrow thoroughfare.
There the flames looped and seised the
opposite houses. From that time the
conflagration extended rapidly both up
and down the street.
Well street is now Involved from end
to end, and the flames are rapidly near-
ing Nicholas Square. which is sur-
rounded by tall warehouses.
The lire brigade has given up hope
of subdulng the fire and is devoting Its
energies to preventing Its spread.
The occupants of threatened build-
ings are busily engaged In removing
their books and business documents.
No casualties have thus far been re-
DOrted. .
At 3:30 this afternoon thirty lire en-
gines were engaged In fighting the fire.
and others were momentarily arriving
