Pastors Claim the Right to Push
Excise Matters
It is reported today that a meeting
has been called ol‘ the li‘airlleld County
Association of (‘ongregatiorml Minis-
ters to be held at the South Norwalk
(‘ongregatiomrl Church on 'l‘hnrsday
afternoon.
The members of the association are
greatly stirred over the issue concern-
ing Judge thinks and the speakership,
and propose to take still further action
in the matter. They also feel that.
some. response should come from Situ-
con Pease‘ with regard to their stig-
gestion that he resign one or the other
of his offices- as county commissioner
and member of the legislature.
It is said that. the ministers unani-
mously feel that Judge Ilauks. in his
letter, admitted just. the charges which
the association recently made. It is
felt that the isstre ought to be present-
ed to the legislators all over the state.
The. feeling is that a man who has
been ident tied in the way that Mr.
Itanks has as counsel for the in-ewers
and'ns the defender of. alleged vio-
lators of the law while he has also
served as county treasurer. ought not
to be given the power to appoint the
excise committee of the legislature.
Just what action will be taken on
Thursday is not known. but it is gen.
erally understood that the ministers
are determined to press the issue. as
was indicatedihuhc vigorous reply
of the committed in answer to Judge
liunks' demand for a retraction.
Further reports are expected from
the standing legislative committee of
"the association which made. the orig-
inal charges. and also from the special
committee which Issued the circular.
It is expected that a large. gathering
of the Congregational ministers of the
county will be at the meeting in South
Norwalk on Thursday.
The ministers claim the right to
push the issue, because of their litter-
est in the proposed excisc‘mcasures
to come b ,orc‘tbe next. legislature.
Inasmuch, .hey claim. as Mr. Banks
has admitted the facts of their allega-
tions, it is expected that they will now
called upon him to withdraw from the
speakership contest.

Sunday Evening Discourse
. The Rev. ll. ll. Carpenter, pastor of
the. South Norwatk baptist Church. is
planning a special series of sermons.
and the. first will be on the topic “The
Silent Seven," for the second Sunday
evening in January.
There has been some mystery corr-
cerning this sermon and ill r. Carpenter
explained today that the sermon will
be entirely complimentary to the
young Indies. The fact that there is
a club known as The Silent Seven
among the young lollies of the church
got. title a. New York newspaper sev~
era] months ago and since Mr. Carpen-
ter's friends In various parts of the
country have sent him reprints in oth-
er papers. .
The prominence accorded the. club
prompted him to devote one of his
sermons to this topic. The main theme
of the discourse will be the desirabil-
ity ol‘ silence in this world. which is
much noisier limit it should be. and
he. will dwell on the marvelmrs fact,
it, is stated. that a company of young
ladies can have a social gathering and
entire evening without speaking. It
is understood that breaking the rule
by arty member of the club entails a

Rev. C. S. Maclarland Preaches on
”The Puritan Doctrine ol Sin"
.
Yesterday was observed according
to the annual custom in honor of the
Forefathers. at the South Norwalk
C(mgregationnlChurch. At the morn-
ing service, Dr. Mari‘urltrnd preached a
sermon in the current course which he
is giving on Great Articles of Faith.
taking as his subject The l’urilau |)oc-
urine of Sin. He believed that the
moral laxity of our time, especially
in relation to our political lift" called
for a rentilrmnlion of sortie of the
Puritan doctrines and especially for
the purllan spirit. .
The subject. of the morning sermon
was, continued in the discussion of the
Men‘s Christian Inquiry Club. led by
lit-amp Nelson lllckerman. The sub-
jeet was. The Church and Peace. The
general feeling was that while the
church should endeavor to maintain
peat-e. this must not mean that it is to
give up lts warfare. against. sin. and
nurighteonsncsa.
The general theme of the day was
continued at, the evening service
which was in recognition of the 300111
anniversary of the birth of John Mil»
ton. when the pastor described as both
"a Puritan for the Puritans and a i-‘ur
hair of the Puritans." I'h‘. Maci‘arland
drew out. many interesting fat-ts with
regard to the great poet's active par-
ticipation In political life which are
not. generally and popularly known.

The barge “(‘arrie ll..‘ ‘owncd by
Captain James II. llickford. of Nor-
walk. now lies Imbcdded In the rmrd
in Monitor‘s coal «loci; slip in Norwalk
with 2:30 tons of soft coal aboard. as a
result of a most peculiar accident yes-
terday. .
The big barge was towed up the bar-
bor yesterday morning at high tide
about ti o‘clock, by the trip; “Addie. \'.,"
and everything went well until they
attempted to ptrt the boat in the slip.
Things their bulked. and in spite of
all their efforts the barae lionld not be
gotten in the proper"position. The hit,

summer. dug up to the slip. Ieavlni,
a ten foot drop froru the slip into the
channel, and the “t"arrie ll." stuck.
when half of the boat was resting in
the slip and the other half projected
ottl over the channel.
As a result of this. when thetide
lowered yesterday afternoon. the end
of the barge was clear of everything.
and the great weight of the coal carts-
ed the end of the barge to break off.
The boat immediately filled with
water amt settled In the mud, where
she now remains. Although the end
of the boat did not break away from
the rest of it. the end has settled until
it is nearly submerged.
This morning at daylight the “Addie
V." attempted to pump out the boat.
but it was of no uSe and the. task was
given tip after two or three honrs'
work. .
A wrecker from New York city has
been summoned and will arrive here
shortly to pump out the water and at.
tempt to move the boat nearer her
landing until the coal can be removed
to the Meeker coal yards. .
Captain Bickford had to hustle and
get his belongings from his cabin on
the barge when it. broke, to prevent
them frotn being covered with the wt
rc that quickly flooded the interior of
the cabin. ‘
The boat is insured and agents will
probably come here tomorrow l’o look

Decided in Favor ol Delendanl by
Judge Scott in Common Pleas
Court at Bridgeport
The supreme court of errors. in a. de-
cision handed down last week. finds
error. and orders a new trial in the
suit of the. New York. Bridgeport &
Eastern Railroad vs. Joseph Motil, of
Strutl’ord. The suit was originally
tried before Judge Scott. in the court of
colilinon pleas, and decided in favor or
:Vlotil. The action concerns the title
to a strip of land along the Housatonic
river. in the town of Startford. Motil
conducts the Raven Stream Hotel, and
the land adjourns the hotel property.
Back in ‘l881 the railroad company
planned to build a. line through this.
section, and bought the right ofvway
through Stratford. This strip was one
of the many that. were purchased. The
railway wasn’t built within the time
limit fixed by the legislature, and con-
sequently lost its charter. But before
the company went out of business it
m'lrrveyed this strip of land to W. E.
Norton. The original owner, Preston
IE. Hodges. claimed the land was his
after the company collapsed, and since
that time (t has been transferred to
many persons until it finally reached
Joseph Motil.
