the four or five hundred ladies, gentle-

men and children, who attended the
mock trial for the benefit of the Nor‘

of the Norwalk Congregational Church.
held in Lockwood's Hall. last evening.

The Superior Court for the City of
Norwalk was convened at 8:15 o’clock.

plainant Herbert R. Smith, Witnesses
Dr. A. F. Beard, Dr. F. B. Baker, A. V.
Heath, Seymour Curtis, G. L. Wood-
ward. and Court Officer Hunt, all took
their seats in the room.

The court crler called “attention," to
the court, and the clerk read the dock-
et. it was: Case No. 29%, State vs.
Uncle Charles C. Betta. charged with
paying flirtatious attentions to girls at
the golflinks: continued. The next
case was State vs. Clarence F. Osborn,
charged 'with over exertion and ex-
haustion. Mr. Hummell entered a plea
of guilty for the defendant and asked
for leniency on the ground of its being
a first offense. He promised it should
never occur again. Case 1.022, Rev.
Johnson McClure Bellows accused of
whispering in church. No. 1,139, State
vs. J. C. Randle, the mayor of Winni-

Then the jury was impaneled. It
consisted of William J. Bryan (James
Hubbell). William McKinley (Horace

J. Meeker). Rudyard Kipling (Rev. C.
W. Shelton), Chauncey Depew (J. T.

velt (C. L. Glover). Richard Croker (J.
R. Marvin), Richard Kissing Hobson

(LeGrand Raymond), David B. liill
Uncut-Gov. E. O. Keeier).

Richard Croker was objected to by
the state on the ground that he was
an alien. but on answering In the of-
firmative, the court's question whether
or not he paid his ice bill In New York.
the objection was overruled. Mr. Hum-
mell‘objected to Mr. McKinley on the
ground that he was a man of common
sense. And to Crokcr because there
was already one cronker (the defend—
ant) already in court. 4

The jury held up left thumbs and
swore that their verdict should be made
without regard to the arguments of the
lawyers or charge of the court, and If
the defendant should tell the truth they
would find him guilty of polygamy.

The indictment was then read. . lt
charged M. W. Starr with stealing, on
December 24, next past. a rooster,
whose pedigree extended back as for
as the memory of the oldest maiden In
the Central Club, and which had a
fighting value of $25. A plea of not
guilty was entered.

Herbert R. Smith was called. and
swore to tell the truth, part of the
truth or not: any of the truth. The
rooster taken from Starr was shown
him. and be identified it by a scar
made by Banks's gall cure. He said
that the boys had been having a little
blow~out that night, and had been un-
able to sleep. and do had heard a com-
motion. in his 'chlcken house, where
was his rooster. which, It was said. had
come over in the Mayflower. and had
‘ landed first on Plymouth Rock, from
1 whence that stone derived Its name.

‘He recognised the defendant's voice
and had his overcoat, which Starr had
slipped off- to'get away from thedcg.
He said that Deacon Starr, George B.
St. John. Frank Van Baron and others
wanted the rooster to put against one
belonging to Judge, Andrew Beilcck. If
the jury gave the verdict it ought to.

he was going to have costlier blow-out

and theywaulda'tbe forgotten.
Seymour Curtis swore to tell untruth
to the heat of his knowledge and belief.
He said that on the night In question
he had been to a turkey raffle, and was
returning home (by way of the Nathan
. Hale fountain, as his-was thirsty) and
when in front of Boar’s. saw the de-
fenda’utv whom, he. chased around that

Dr. Baker swore that Smith was a

A. V. Heath were that he had sold

was quite an expert on chickens. He

Dr. Beard corroborated Mr. Heath‘s
story of the sale. and said that the
Mayflower was full of hens, or else
they wouldn‘t have needed anyhatch—

eggs aboard, for when the ship came
'into'port she “lay two."

The lawyers then made their argu—

jury returned a verdict of not guilty. if

Edward V. Baker was elected chief
of the South Norwalk Fire Deficit
merit and fire marshal of the City of
lopth Norwalk at a special meeting
of the Common Council, last night. and
the suggestion of Councilman Jesse M.
Ferris at the regular meeting on Mon-
day night to raise the salary of Driver
Samuel McGowan, of Putnam Hose
supply wagon, was carried out. The
salary of Mr. McGowan was raised
from $12.50 per week to 315.

it was not generally known that a
meeting was to be bold. but the Coun-
cilmen realized that considerable oc-
pended upon them if they allowed the
matter to rest any longer, and leave
the city without a fire chief. There
were the insurance rates to be taken
into consideration. It was brought out
quite vividly at the Monday night
meeting that the insurance rates were
to be raised. '

It was also brought out that in case
of a serious fire in one of the factor»
tea, for instance. the insurance com-
panies would probably have a good ex~
case to not pay the claim. So it was
up to the Councilmen to do something
and quickly. This Is why the special
meeting was called for last nights All
the members of the board were pres-
ent and there was another lengthy dis-
cussion on the matter. And it was of
an interesting nature. As the report-
ers were requested not to publish all
the remarks made in detail, the Senti-
uei refrains from doing so.

It. was thought that there would be
much difference of opinion when the
matter came up for final action again,
but when a vote was taken there was
a little surprise when the result was
unanimous for Mr. Baker.

Ail more were some .of the members.

who were Ixi favor of Mr. McGowan as
chief, it was decided to compromise
and raise the pay of the driver and
also have a chief.

An Invitation from the warden and
burgesscs of New Cannon was received
and accepted. to attend the one hun~
drcdih anniversary of the town.

RANSOM. THE MAGICIAN.
Was the Attraction at the Y. M. C. A.
Bazaar Last Night.

The rain and numerous other enter-
tainments seriously lntorferrcd with
the attendance at the Humor and Food
Exhibit at the Armory yesterday after-
noon and evening, but as the weather
is fine for the closing day, a large at-
tendance is predicted.

Elmer P. Ransom, the magician and
entertainer, was the special attraction
yesterday afternoon and evening and
all who saw him. without hesitation
said that he was the best In that line
t‘Vi‘l' scan in this town. ills Punch and
Judy show was of a very high order.
being free from all of. those objection
able features which sometimes fright
on the more timid children. [is is bili-
cd to give his Punch and Judy show
this ufternon and also a short program
of magic. ‘By special request he will
repeat the Punch and Judy show in
the evening and also give his regular
program of magic in addition.

Another special feature for this eve-
ning will be a fine supper, prepared-
from all Health Brand goods. and serv-
cd from 5 to 8 o'clock for the small
sum of ten cents per plate.

Frequent selections on the piano and
the Planola in W. S. Sturcvant’s ex-
hibit and the organ of the merry-go-
round make music in pleasing con-
trast. ‘

The rifle range last evening in
charge of E. H. Fox and Harry ii‘er—
Iris was a, center of attraction and some
very good scores were made.

The entertainments In connection
with tho Bazaar have nilbecn of tho
highes character, which speaks well
for the management, and no doubt will

Street Railway Conipaniec for 0p-

Annually by the State.

w...

Representative Nashfify‘f Westport, is
~fsthcr of a bill. before the House to-
day. relating to drawbridges. Since
the advent of the trolley, figures show
that the life of brides is shortened. and
that the expense of maintaining them
Is greatly Increased. The trolley com-
panies pay a direct for to the state.
and In this bill provision is m‘tide that
towns shall receive $500 for each
bridge. Following is the bill in full:

“Section 1. Every town or city own-
lng. operating. and maintaining a
drawbridge over and across which any
street railway company operates its
curs shall. upon the presentation to
the comptroller of a certificate to that
effect, signed by the sclertmeii of
such town. or the mayor of such city.
receive from the slate annually the
sum of $500 for each and every such
drawbridge.

"Sec. 2. The counties of Now Hav-
cn and Fairllcld, as long as they shall
continue to maintain the drawbridge
between the towns of Milford and
Sirnti‘ord and known as Washington
bridge. and any street railway com-
pany shall continue to operate Its curs
across said bridge, shall. ll on the
presentation to the comptro er of a
certificate to the effect. signed by the
county commissioners or said coun-
ties, receive fi'om the state annually
the sum of 5260 each."

The bill was passed by the House
this morning without opposition, the
members from the southwestern sec-
tion of the state being unanimous In
its favor.

The number of drawbridgee affected
by Its passage is 11. of which four
are in New Haven, one between Fair-
lleld and New Haven counties (Wash-
Ington Bridge), three in the city of
Bridgeport, two In the town of West-
port, and one in Norwalk.

The average yearly cost of maintain-
ing the bridges in the city of Bridge-
port Is about $7.000; of Washington
bridge, $2,000: of tile two in Westport.
abdut $2,400; and of the one in Nor-
walk, about $2,800. These figures are
base dupon the cost for the past ten
years.

In this connection It is interesting to
uiotc that the cost of maintaining. the
bridge In Norwalk for the eight years
preceding the introduction of the 'trob
ley averaged $1,593.83, while since the
advent of the trolley the cost of main-
tenance has been increased $1,308.00.
These figures are interesting as show:
ing how the traffic of trolley cars has
Increased the cost of maintaining
these bridges.
