The address of Mr. iicckwltit was on
The (hive-nutteut of Cities. and was as
follows; .
Tlte government of cities is a com-
paratively new system of government
in ottr state, as compared with ottr old
system of town government. which has
prevailed ever since the adoption of
the Constitution.
Our state was divided into counties
and the counties subdivided into
towns and formerly the system of town
government was the only local govern.
ment known to our laws. It was upon
this ttnlt that our system of govern-
ment was built. Under it all the. vet-
ers of the town gathered at one place
in town meeting and levied taxes and
[MIMI all other votes necessary for
the government of the town, There
was a Board-of Selectmen to carry ottt
the votes thuapmod but the real pow-
er of government was vested in the
voters assembled in town meeting.
When this system‘ of government
. was established the population of the.
state was fairlyt well distributed and
there were no lat-D numbers of poo
pie residing In any one place. Apia
culture was then the chief occupation
of the people and ‘thcy were of neon
alty nit-1y nil mattered. But in
course of time manufacturing and
In certain contain and in some of the
coast ahlpplng was also added.

of time the number became so great
The
dinner was given by the mayors of The
Norwalks to the distinguished visitors.

.700 to cover the balance.
in order to make the rush payment
be borrowed the money of thc defend
ant and promised to give a deed for
the ptoperty purchased as security.
(in .ltute 30 he did give such a dead.
that when he paid the 3300 he waste
get his deed back.
(in November is last. he tnade a
tender of the moo and asked for his
deed. but it was refused. At the same
time, so Mr. t-lprague alleges. the tie
‘tl‘ettdaut threatened to sell the proper
i ty.
‘ lie secured an injunction signed by
idndge Howard J. Curtis. in which the
idefendant is restrained frotn passing
‘the deeds of the propel-.3" undea' pen-
ialty of :1 one.
Mr. Sprague also asks for 81,500

There wore five cases before Judge
It). M. Lockwood. in the Norwalk Court.
yesterday afternoon, all of much litter-
est. Terrence Cook and Frederick
iiyatt were charged with breaking in-
ed by Joseph 0|iner_ on Sunday after-
noon. The judge was ttot quite sat—
isfied with the case as it stood. and
continued ii to Wednesday morning at
9 o'clock.
Bought Liquor Sunday Morning.
Both Cook and Hyatt claimed that
theyahad been lit the saloon durin:
Sunday morning and had purchased
liquor. in company with others. anti
that ()liner‘s son waited on them. The
court pressed Cook to tell who had
been in the saloon Sunday morning
with them and he replied that George
l’eirie. Frank Brown attd two ozhers
whom he did not know were with
them. Hyatt practically corroborated
this statement with the exception that
he did not remember having seen the
two men whose names were ttnkttowtt
to Cook.
Told Them To Come Back.
Cook told the court that he filed up
with liquor at the place in the morn»
ing and that when he left, Oliner's son
said to him. “If you want any more
comeback later." He did return in the
afternoon and entered by the rear door
but simply opened it and walked in.
and did not break in. Inside this time
he said he. was hailed by young Oliner
who wanted to know what he was do»
ing in there. lie stated to the court
that he told Oliucr that he was merely
coming back. as he (Ollner) had told
him.
miner told the court previous to this
that he had gone into the sa‘oon early
in the afternoon with Don Juan Si. Car-
los to II: the stove and while in there
d‘vcovered the rear doors broken open.
When asked if he had been in the sa-
loon before during the day, he stated
that he had but only in the morning
with Don to clean up the place. He
denied entirely that anyone else was
in the place during the day to his
knowledge. except in the afternoon.
when he found Cook in the place.
crawling on his hands and knees.
Chief of Police Bradley went on the
stand and told of tlnding the roar d0or
broken in.
Oliner To Be Prosecutors.
Judge. Lockwood is the honor prose-
cuting agent for the Town of Norwa‘k
and it is expected that he will make
an investigation into the charges
made in their testimony by Cook
and Hyatt that they purchased intoxi-
eants in the saloon on Sunday morn-
ing, It is thought very likely that this
had considerable to do with the con-
tlnuance of the case to Wednesday
morning.
Olluer claimed his loss bv theft to
be two bottles of whiskey but did not
report the mailer to the pollen. in-
stead. Chief of Police Bradley receive
ed "wind“ of the affair and investigat-
Ied with Cook and Iiyatt's arrest result—
ng.
Judge. Lockwood placed the defend-
ants under bonds of 31.000 each.
Drunk on Cider.
Thomas Donnell): aged iweuiydwo
years. and Samuel Burns, twenty years
of age. were before the court on a
charge of drunkenness. It was
brought out that they had had a lit-
tle. spree all Sunday night on hard
cider.
Donnelly was before the court a
couple of months ago on the charge of
drunkeness and discharged with the
understanding that if he appeared
again he would be given a penalty. The
tudge. therefore imposed a line of 87
and costs. Young Bums was released
with some good advice on the. part of
Judge Lockwood.
An All Night Opt-cc.
Three or four young men had_ Burns
and Donnelly claimed, been furnished
with several pails of elder on Sunday
night by a young Italian known as An-
gelo. First they drank in Chapel street
and then went in the gas house. They
remained in the vicinity all niaht and
early yesterday morning Donnelly and
Burns went “uptown" to procure a
sandwich and some ale. A little later
they were scooped up on thb street by
'he police on a charge of drunkenoaa.
Burns plead guilty to the charge but

drunk. Finding two young men on
