PhoenixfEugine Company paid the
debt to. Putnam Hose Company, incur-
red by“ its recent defeat at penuohle.
last night, by giving one of the finest
feasts of the kind ever given in Nor-
walk.

Smith Northrop and Selectman
Frank H. Merrill were the committee
in charge of the affair, and when the
delegatiOn from the South Norwaik
company arrived about 8:16 o'clock. at
Phoenix Engine House, the found that
the preparations had far exceeded
their greatest expectations, although
their entertainers were noted for their
lavishness in paying off like debts and
doing things up right. -

The affair was 0 pected to be much
larger than that 0 last year and 'the
committee had sixty-five covers laid,
all that it was possible to get into the
on no room, when the paraphernalia
ha been removed. But they knew that
this would not be enough, and they
were prepared to banquet over one
hundred guests. and more than that
number did sit down during the eve-
plug.

The members seated the guests first
and took good care of them. and after
they had finished. sat down to a sec-
ond table, which was well filled.

he table was tastefully decorated
with azaleas and carnation pinks when
the guests heated themselves, Chief J.
'l‘. Prowitt being at the head of the ta-
ble. with“ Captain L. M. Wright. of
Putnam...Hose Company, on his right
hand. and Samuel McGowan on the
left. To the right of Captain Wright
were E. W. Clark and Judge H. W.
Gregory. and George W. Bogardus sat
next to ex-Cbief McGowan. The other

but; must bear a few words from Judge
Gregory. ;

The judge said..he=was not much giv-
on to such ovations. He didn't know
much about penbchle, some of the oth-
ors could tell better about that, but
he had enjoyed every one of the din-
ncrs whichbad followed the games.
Not expecting to be called on he had
not prepared an impromptu speech.

Chief Prowltt next called on his
friend Samuel McGowan to explain
about the bottle of champagne.

Mr. McGowan thought that Captain
Ciiiunery could do that better. he only
knew that it Was the best he ever
tested. in behaii of.the Fire Depart-
ment of South Nb walk he thanked the
company for the ‘ne'spread. which he
thought beat last year’s. When they
came down andllifwad peuuchle it was
understood to, be for a sauer kraut
supper and he thought they were high
ly honored by the feast which had been
given them.

Captain Luther M. Wright was next
called upon. He thought “that Phoe.
nix Engine Company enjoyed its defeat
more than anyone else. When we came
up here expecting a sauer kraut supper
and you gore us such a layout you ov-
ordid yourselves. Thank you for
your defeat and our feast.”

Billy Banker was next called upon
and convuised his hearers with his
speech, in which he spoke of the wick-
cd city and the holy city, the one
where you can and the one where you
can't get shaved on Sunday.

Cigars were supplied by Judge H. W.
Gregory and were distributed among
the? guests. -

Evidence Given in Explanation of
Their Neglect to Equip Caro-Wot
On In Order'to occurs, Bon-

ww-

, The fenders which were used by the
trolley companies in 1896 were of no
practical value, and were merely a
subterfuge resorted to by the trolley
companies that they might report to
the railroad commissioners that their
cars were equipped with them or to
satisfy public demands. Such was a
portion of the testimony given by K.
W. Mansfieldyformerly superintendent
of the Norwalk Tramway Company.
before Judge 8. A. Robinson in the
Superior Court, yesterday morning, in
the suit instituted against the com
pany by William .1. James, adminis-
traior.

Mr. Mansfield was examined at some
length on the subject of tenders. for
whether or not the equipment of a car
with such a thing would have saved a
life enters largely into the soft which
is being tried. Mr. James ones to re
coves damages of $6.000 sustained
through the killing of his twelvoyoar-
old son at Rowayton. in November
1806. The cars at that time were not
equipped. and why they were not was
a question which was gone into in do»
tall at the examination of various yit‘
posses this morning. when the defense
took up their side of the case.

Whether or not certain fenders
would act in certain ways under cer-
tain conditions. was the general trend
of the questions asked. Mr. Mansfield
said that in 1896 his company had care
fully considered all the fenders then
on the market. He had looked them
over himself, had experimented with
them and had watched their operation
on other lines, and had come to the
conclusion that as they were then they
were not practicable. He said that
the old fenders used in this city and
Stamford were‘of no use at all. He
said that‘they would strike a man
near the knees hen standing between
at any country road.”

With reference to the operation of
the "Providence". fender, which is
dropped by the motorman at need. he
said that such a fender could be drop
nod to the rails in. possibly two secs
ends, but it would depend upon the
position of a man on the tracks as to
whether it wouldhplck him up or not.
At the present tithe, Mr. Mansfield
said. the advantages from fenders are
much greater than the danger from
them.

Ebenezer Hill, general manager of
file Norwalk Iron Works Company, and
formerly president of the Norwalk
Street Railway Company. testified in
regard to fenders of various kinds.
His road was not equipped with them
while he was connected with it, be-
cause they had not been perfected. and
were considered more of a menace to
public travel and safety than were
care without them.

Mr. ill gave a detailed account of
the ex eriments which his road con
ducted with fenders. He said that he
had tried many fenders on his cars,
but had not adopted any while he was
connected with the road. because he
never was convinced of their good.
He said fenders as a rule defended the
cars directly in front. and his directors
were of‘tho opinion that ninety per
cent. of persons or carriages were
struck at the side of the car near the
stop where the fender would not be
operative. it was also considered an
element of danger to have a fender
sticking out three or four feet in front
of a car. Mr. Hill said he knew of
three cases in which there would have
been a serious accident if fenders had
been used. Up to that time fenders
had not been perfected to such an ex-
tent as to be a guarantee of safety to
the public. The tender of that day
was not a proper apparatus to put on
a street car.

Q. “To what extent did street rails
way companies use fenders at that
time?" i

A. “The number was not large. It
was the consensus of opinion of street
railway men that tholfenders were an
element of danger. I know several in
stances at that time in which the fund-
era had been hutch because "of the
clamor of the public. or because the
road wanted additional privileges-from,
some common council."

Q. “For your line, you officially dc-
cldcd that no fender was a good fon-
derf” ', ,

Have Not A“ the. Council for For-
mission .to flag Tracks Under the
Worlds ion 34- btroct Bridge-—
Pros octlbimt Layout.

There promote be an interesting
time at the meetin of the Common
Council Monday of t. That Hillside
Place matter, of which an exclusive ac-
count appcared in The Sentinel Tucs-
day night, will be talked over. it was
expected that some action relative to
the laying of the tracks under the
Washington and Monroe street
bridges. would be taken. ~

But according to the statutes on this
matter as passed in #1897 the Council
cannot act untiil is receives an ap-
plication from the Connecticut Rail-
way .and Lighting Coinpany. it has not
as yet recelvsdnsuch application and
there is no probability that it will be-
fore Monday night.

The following paragraph of law re~
gurdlng this matter will be of interest
to all these who imagine that the
council can vote to either have the
tracks laid or not before the property
owners are given a chance to voice
their sentiments.

"Whenever either of said compan-
ics." naming the Nor-walk Street Rail-
way Company and the Norwalk Trum-
way Company, "ilesires to lay its
tracks upon any street, streets, or per.
tions of streets, in the city of South
Norwalk, for which permission is re-
quired by this amendment. it shall
make a written application to the
mayor and court of common council
for click permission. and said mayor
and court of common council shall.
thereupon, upon public notice. proceed
to a hearing of all persons interested
therein. and. after such hearings, if It
appears thiit public convenience and
necessity require the granting of such
permission. may at its discretion grant
the same. and said company shall then
build its railway agreeable to the pro-
visions of its charter and Chapter
clxix of the public acts of 1893.“

Howeycr, if no application has not
as yet reached City Clerk Joseph R.
Taylor, this is no reason that the mat-
ter concerning the tracks will not be
talked over and some understanding
arrived at among the members, if such
is not understood at present.

Probably the most interesting item
to be discussed will be the Hillside
place question. Thomas l. Raymond
claims that his property facing Hill~
side place will be damaged to the ex-
tent of $500 by the work the street
commissioners have been doing in
grading and improving it.

in grading the street and 30an 80-
cording to the proper street lines. it
cutoff about six feet of property. .Thc
dispute is not over the ownership. but
Mr. Raymond says that the proper
means have not been taken to acquire
it. He claims that there was never a
hearing on the. matter. 3 ’ ‘ '

Argued that Mrs. Rathbun Did Not
Know. 0- Prof. Bmith Did. that 0
Grain of Arsenic Would
Kill a Person.

NEW HAVEN, May 3~The
Criminal side of the Superior
Court was crowded this morning,
when the final arguments were
proceeded with in the Rathbun

oisoniug case. The entire Rath-
liuu family was present, but John
F. Hart, one of the most conspicu-
ous characters in the case, was not
in the court room. During the
course of his argument Judge Bly-
dcuburg, for the defense. said that
the theory that William Rathbun
conceived the killing of Hart, was
brought forward by the state it»
self. He argued that Ratlibun did
not know, as Professor Smith, the
state‘s expert did, that a grain of
arsenic would kill, and that to
convince Hart, whom he desired
to kill, that the coffee was all, ri ht
took a sip of it, with fatal teen is
Judge Blydcnburgli said that 'Mrs.
Rathbuu had absolutely no rea~
son to wish for the death of eith-
cr her husband or John F. Hart
and that the letter written by
Walter Ratlibun, at the dictation
of his mother, to Hart’s relatives
in New Britain, was a proof of her
interest in the welfare of Hart
Judge Blytlcnburgli further stated
that the examination of Mrs
Ratlibu'li by Coroner Mix was
“one of the tricks of the trade."
H c concluded his reinarksnt ll :45
and a recess was taken.

After recess State Attorne
Williams began his closing a -
dress, which occupied about two
hours. Another recess was taken
at 2:30,,aftcr which Judge Elmer
delivered his charge to the jury,
and they retired to consider the
evidence.
