At the present writing the chances
Item decidedly in favor of the county
seat being changed from Bridgeport to
Norwalk. If the county representatives
alone were to decide the matter Nor-
walk would obtain that for which it has
no liberally offered. But the final action
is yet to be taken. Defeated in the
county delegation. Bridgeport‘s next
effort will be to prevent the passage of
the bill in the Legislature. and Norwalk
must be vigilant as well as active. Judg~
lug from the statements made by Bridge-
port's spokesman before the county dele-
gation Thursday. it is highly probable
that he will be ready to declare. when
the bill comes up. that Bridgeport will
do anything to retain the .court house.
regardless of expense. How far he will
I- supported by oflicial action by the
town of Bridgeport the future will de-
velop. but it is quite likely Bridgeport
will do something more than has been
done in the way of offering inducements
for the new court house. and will leave
nothing undone that will defer action
upon the vote of the county delegation.

A Bridgeport paper yesterday said:
“If the county convention does pass the
resolution which Norwalk hopes for.
that will by no means end the matter.
The Legislature will yet have to pass
upon the matter. and Bridgeport‘s influ-
ence there will in all probability be
greater than that of Norwalk. At any
rate there is no great fear here that x...-
walk will accomplish what it is working
for.“ Bridgeport‘s immediate aim is to
have the court house matter deferred.
Having been defeated in its plan In
quietly obtain an appropriation of $125.-
000 from the county for a new court
house. which amount Representative
I‘helan stated to be only a fraction of
the ultimate cost of such a building. it
will try to obtain by delay what it has
failed to secure by strategy.

But the people of the county have
now taken hold of the matter. and they
favor the changing of the county seat
to Norwnlk because of its central loca-
tion and accessibility. and these
important considerations. .1t is possi-
ble that the State may interpoao and
defeat the Will of those only interested.
but such action would be unwarranted
as well as unwise. and we can hardly
think it Will be done. However. it is
quite evident Bridgeport proposes to use
its influence with the lmgisliitiire. and
Norwalk must counteract it. With
justice on its side it ought to be able to
circumvent any schemes which may
tend to prevent its being made the
county seat.

QUOTATIONS FROM Till: PRESS.

DONE: Rtutlr AWXY.

Yesterday‘s developments make it
absolutely certain that Norwalk will
tearthe county seat and court house
away from Bridgeport unto-n the scheme
innipped by instantaneous and vigor~
out aotio‘n. Two things occurred yester-
day which show the drift of the tide.
The legislative committee on county
heats decided to consider the bill remov-
ing the county seat to Norwalk and ap-
pointed next Wednesday for the hear-
ing. The second and most disastrous
blow felt in the caucus of l-‘airiield
county members where it was voted lo
accept Norwalk‘s offer by a vote 2;: to
13. After this nothing can avert the
threatened change but good work to be
commenced at once and plenty of it.

Norwalk means to Win and desenes
such a reward for her energetic action.

What does Bridgeport give? Appar-
ently she don‘t give a tinker‘a darn.
which we believe is not of the profane
variety. While we have been bragging.
Norwalk has been working. lIer emis-
saries impress on all representatives this
patent fact. “If the court house goes
to Norwalk your town won‘t be taxed a
cent. If it stays in Bridgeport it will.“
That catches them every time.

See how the vote has followed the
shifting wind. At the first county can.
one it was decided to build a new court
house in Bridgeport at a cost of #125,000
by avote of 18mm. At the second
caucus the vote to rescind was defeated
81 to It. Yeaterda . after Norwalk‘s
offer had been used or all it was worth.
it was accepted 22 to 13. with only one
member absent. We have only 10 votes
left outside of Bridgeport.

Between the previous caucuses and the
one yesterdaw votes in Ureeie

were turned against it. In several
towns. town meetings were held which

The preliminary advantage of Nor-
walk made the county meeting of extra-
orilinarv interest. If Bridgeport is beaf~
en in the legislature it is probable a pe<
tiou will be presented to constitute it a
new county. .\t any rate sortie kind of
court will have to be established within
her precincts for h'er accomiiimlatiou.
The outcome may be that Norwalk Will
take lluibury‘s piaceas the location of
the branch superior court. but this would
assume a victory for Bridgeport in the
impending controversy.

The l‘alrtteld (‘oiiiity Representatives
\oto to Accept Norwnlli‘s Proposi-
tion and make it the (‘nuri-

Ilunng the two weeks which have in-
tervened since the vol“ of the County
Representatives to defer action upon the
vote appropriating $131000 for anew
county court house at Bridgeport. Nor-
walk has been active and has succeeded
in gaining a decided vantage ground.
and the probabilities are now quite fa-
vorable to its securing the new court
house.

\\'ednesday a number of the committee
appointed at the town meeting went to
Hartford and appeared before the Font.
inittee onl‘ounty Seals. and succeeded
in obtaining from that committee per-
mission to substitute the following bill
for the one which was printed in llI“Iii\-
Z-‘llt‘ [Ills Week ;

[it it i'mirlnl by the Semifc iiiuI [louse
of ltepi‘i'st-iihilit-is :

Sec. l. From and after the 1st day of

al times when they are now by law re-
quired and authorized to be held at
Bridgeport. . .

Sec. ‘3. The town of .\orwalk is here

H00 toward providing a county court

in said county all property acquired bv
such expenditure. to have and to hold

the same so long as the county seat of ,

said county sli-iii be located in the town
of Norwalk.

\Vlicii a court house and jiil

ever. said sales shall not be made until
the buildings at Norwalk are accepted its
provided for herein.

Sec. 3. .\ll acts and parts of acts Ill-
coiisisteut lierewuli are hereby repealed.

Messrs. .l. Belden llurlbut and .l. S.
Seymour and others very ably and fully
presented the advantages of this bill be-
fore the committee.

The hearing on this bill will be held
next \\'eduesda_v. and a favorable re~
port is expected,

Thursday nearly two hundred citizens

of Norwalk went to Hartford by special
train to attend the meeting of the t‘oun-
ty Representatives to consider the (‘ourt
llouse question. There was also quite
an attendance from Bridgeport. The
meeting was held in the House of Repre-
seiitatIVes. .
' Senator Walsh of Greenwich offered a
resolution in substance that in consider
ation of its location and its offer of $100.-
000. the county seat be changed from
Bridgeport lu Norwalk. and that all pre
vious votes in relation to the matter of
county court house be repealed.

Representative “taken of Bridgeport
asked for information and explanation
why the resolution should be adopted.

Senator \\'alsh replied that he did not
suppose after the long and earnest dis
cussion and full consideration of the
matter before the Committee on County
Seats that anv further discussion was
necessary. He believed a majority of
the representatives were in sympathy
with the resolution. But if the opposi‘
tiou wanted to say anything against it
he would deem it proper to say something
in its favor.

Representative Jones of I‘airtield
moved to strike out the last clause of
the resolution. He was willing Norwalk
should have a court house. but believed
the one in Bridge It should remain.

Senator Walsh t on read the resolution
passed ap ro iating “25.000 for court
house in ri geport at the former meet-
ing. If the amendment passed that
vote would stand. and he did not think
that they were warranted in making
provision for two court houses.

Re mutative Plialen then moved to
inde nitely postpone the matter.

Representative Smith of Westport
said he hoped the motion would not
prevail. Two-thirds of the representa-
tives of the county wanted to give ex-
pression to their views and decide the
question. and asked for a reason for the
postponement. '

Representative Hoyt of New Canaan
paid that Bridgeport had crammed the
former vote down their throats without
opportunity -for one chew on it. and
now it wanted to swallow them. The
representatives wanted to give voice to
the will of their constituents.

Re ntative Phalen said the reason
why the matter should bepoatponed was
that time could be secured tooonsider
whether the proposition was a good or
bad one; if it was good to approve it.
and if bad to reject it. Norwalk had
made an offer as liberal as though
Brid rt had ofl‘erod a million dollars,
but orwalk‘s proffer had no validity,
and then by figures he tried to show that
if the ofler was accepted the county
would have to be taxed 850.000 to make
the proposed aha-rig.

Fairfield to Bridgeport. He by figures
showed that Norwalk‘s offer would
enable the county to secure a new court
house without any expense. Bridge-
port‘s proposition was to exchange
property worth $133,000 for a countv in-
terest worth $40,000.

Senator Morgan of Bridgeport favored
the motion to postpone.

Senator \Valsh chased the debate. He
said at the first meeting the matter was
sprung on the convention. The Pullll'
of location was not considered. but
Bridgeport was urged before opportunity
to consider the matter or consult con.
stituents could be bad. But after Nor—
walk‘s offer had been made and an ex-
pression was obtained from constituents.
it was evident that the county favored I
change of county seat to Norwalk. .\'l
votes since passed favored Norualk's

liberality. The matter had been
delayed to get expressuiu from the
county. and that \\'as for Norwalk. He

also figured and showed that Norwalk‘s
proposition would save the county at
least $75000. He said the present Juli
might be left at Bridgeport. as that was
undoubtedly the most convenient for
most of the prisoners He also showed
the geographicaI-advantages of Norwalk.

At the close of his speech he moved
the previous question. This and all oth-
er votes were taken by ycas and nays.
The previous question was ordered by a
vote of ‘32 to 13. The motion to post-
pone was defeated. and the resolution
was adopted.

Messrs. “'alsh. Hoyt and Smith spoke
ably in support of Norwalk.

Norwalk‘s delegation could not restrain
from applauding the speakers on their
side of the question. and when the reso
lution passed they were a very pleased
looking crowd.

They came home happy and confident
that the general members of the legisla-
ture will not oppose the desire of the
county in this matter.

Discharging Knights of Labor.
Something of a sensation was created
in New Haven Tuesday when it became
known that the Empire and New Eng-
land Transportation companies liad dis-
charged four of the men employed on
their barges. It wits reported that this
action was due .to the men being mem-
bers of the Knights of Labor. Presi-
dent George B. Martin. of the Empire
company said that he had learned that
about thirtv of his employee were
Knights of Labor. lie was univilling to
have the organization gain so many of
his hands that it could dictate terms.
and he decided to make the men under-
stand his position. He called in the four
men and told them that they must either
leave the knights or his employ.
