and list the Improvements of
Lights, Library, Sidewalks
and Other Things
The people of East Norwalk are
anxiously awaiting the result of the
city meeting which is to be held to
take action on the request of the East
” Norwalk Fire District that the City of
South Nor-walk municipal electric
works supply them with power suffic-
Ient for street'lighting.
The special committee front the. fire
district. and the committee from the
South Norwalk Common '(‘oun'cll held
several meetings together, but the
Council thought it best to.hold a city
meeting and allow the people to vote
whetheror. not they wish _to tumtsh
. power to East Norwalk. as it will ne-
cessitate the expenditure of consid-
ernble money for an enlargement oi
the plant sufiicienl to give thetn the
amount of electricity that they would
require. ’ . ,
Some citizens...seem to be opposed to
making the outlay, but many are. In
favor of selling the powerlf a gunman.
tee could be secured for the payment
of enough money each year to take
care. of the interest on the investment
shottid i-Iast Norwalk stop taking the.
power. ,
Another party scrapie be forming
which favors the annexation of blast
Norwalk to the City of South Norwalk.
This party claims that It would be for
the best Interests of all concerned Ii
annexation was accepted as the solu-
tion of the problem. This Idea is
favored by quite a number of, East
Norwalk people as well, who say that
they might just as well become a part
of the city as, remain under their
present'fort‘mo government, which is
an unhandy one in many ways. .
if East. Norwalk shottld decide to
accept annexation as the solution of
'the problem it would be necessary to
wait until the next session of the leg-
islature before permission could be
secured.
The situation and the annexation
idea is still further of interest in the
fact that West Norwaik also wants
water and lights and a better and
more up-to—date government than they
are at present living under. and it has
been suggested also that perhaps West
, Norwaik also might be annexed to the
city of South Sorwalk.
Undoubtedly the. advocates of the
three different ideas will be present
at the city meeting and voice their
sentiments publicly.
.One thing is certain and that is that
East Norwaik wants lights and intends
to have them from some source or
other, in some way.
Another reason being advanced by
the advocates of annexation is that
East Norwalk would then be f'illilllt'tl
to use the public library. as they are
not. now able to draw books from it
without paying for the privilege.
though the reading room is free for
all. ‘V
Annexation would also give Inst
Norwsik the benefit of police anti fire
protection, the former something that
has for some time been a grave prob-
Iem,-as under the town constabniary
system there does not seem to be u
very gratifying result, Zsst Norwalk
is growing in population. says-t lht- ad-
vocatesgof annexation and it will not
be long before annexation will be
practically a necessity.

The two days‘ bazaar at Lockwood’s
Hall, Norwalk, under the auspices of
the Woman's Guild, of Grace Church,
was brought to a successful close last
evening, with the presentation of two
delightful forces, given by the young
ladies of the Junior Guild.
The first was “The Pelper's Pay," by
Margaret Cameron. which demonstrat-
ed how misdirected suspicion can be.
Fortunately, however, everything
turns ottt well and the ending "is a
happy one. The several characters
were taken most creditably, as fol-'

The second farce. was "The Sleeping

frim the failure yesterday of the Na-

order of business will not be reached
until tomorrow. ,
l~‘or.,some time before the committee.
was called to order the lobbies of the
hotel were filled with members, and it
was apparent that the meeting would
be one of the best. attended of recent
years. it was also evident that the
contest over the place of the meeting
would be sharp, with Kansas City and
Chicago as the principal applicants:
While. yesterday Kansas City seemed
to be practically without a rival, it
was evident, at the beginning of the
canvas today that. Chicago'g advocates
had gained renewed assurance, anti
would be prepared for a strong light.
it was statetI‘that positive assurance
had been received of Chicago's willing-

to cenduct the conVeIlllon and Chicano
adherents claimed a majority of the
committee, .
The Kansas City delegation was by
no means willing to concede this lead,
and some of its members asserted that
they had assurances sufilclent to jus‘
tlfy them in making the lltosi positive
claims. The fact developed that for
some months past that city has had

is said that many of the committee-
men have become so committed to the

killed herself."
Her purchase ,of the pistol here a

From messages received here during

and disastrouc explosion occurred to
day in mine. No. ti and S of the Con-
solidated Coal Company of Monongah.
West Virginia. "
A long distance telephone message
of the Associated Press sayd thatthe
bodies of three miners have been re«
covered near the mouth of mine No. 6.
Superintendent John Malone, of the
mines, says at least five hundred men
are entombed. .
Minn No. 6 i! on the east side of
the thogahela River, and mine N0.
ti on the west side. flow the expio
sion «recurred simultaneously in both
mines cannot be explained, as definite
information Is meagre. '
The explosion was heard for a dis.
tance of eight miles.
It is believed that. a majority of the
entombed men were killed. A
immediately after receipt of the
news. physicians and special can were
sent to the scene from Iv‘afrmont. The
mine is too full of gas and smoke yet
' for rescuers to' I able to go in.
it’is said that the explosion started
‘iu No. fl and spread to No, it mine, the
two being connected.
The gravest fears are felt for the
safet y of the great number of miners.
Sonn- idea of the force of the explosion
may be gained from the fact. that props
front the mine were not. only blown
out of the entry, but were hilried by
the force of it clear across the west
fork of the Monongahela River. Wires
are. down, which Is the reason for de-
tails of the explosion being unoblaina-
hie yet.
it is feared that the accident will be
the Worst in Illa history of mining in
this country.
Superintendent Malone telephones ,
that. 500 men were in the mine and the
miners do not think say could escape
alive. '
The fans ‘were started at noon to
clear out the foul air and the rascners
may be expected to reach the men by
2 p. m.
The mine management declare they
do not know the cause, but experienc-
ed miners declare that it must have
been dust. ‘
