flames. The alarm bell was struck. but

good advantage. but were unable to

used. the fire was soon extinguished.
The cause of the fire in not known. but

Rev. Mr. Delano on John ll. Gough.
A large congregation assembled at
the Baptist Tabernacle Sunday evening
when Rev. Mr. Delano spoke upon John
ll. Gough. The address was a deserved
tribute to the oratory; the philanthropy.
goodness and devotion to his ideal of the
great apostle of Temperance. from
which were drawn the lessons of his
moral struggle. his moral victory. and
his faith in men. Any synopsis the dis-
course would convey but a faint idea of
its eloquence argument and appeal.
The preacher dwelt with great power
upon the final lesson. faith in men, and
illustrated it in a very eloquent and
vivid manner, and his closing appeal for
the young men to emulate his example’
by making the most of themselves was
very powerful. The address was quite
lengthy but none present regretted the
time it took. but gave the speaker the
most earnest attention throughout.

“00.000 upon the order or orders of said

Resolved. That said selectman are

mittee, all of the ri ht. title and interest
of the town in sai site or sited. build-
ings and premises to the County of

and the count seat of said county be

and proper measure- Io secure the

the remises. an to more 9
of a: not locating aye County at of

Resolved. That the Town Clerk of

clerk of said committee. and that neither
raid committee nor any of its members
nor s'aid town clerk in his position no
clerk of said committee, shall receive
any compensation for his or their ser-
Vices.
Mr. Lockwood said be well remember-
ed when a young man .0! hearing that
the father of Wm. D. Bishop begged to
have Norwalk contribute 030.000 to have
the Housatontic Railroad terminus at
Norwalk. Norwalk refused and that up
portunity was lost. Norwalk now has
another 0 not . but to obtain its
advantages it must den and aggrea‘
rive. an take steps that would secure it
the court house. '
Mr. Mood said that be was in the
dark about e matter except such light
as he had obtained by wn'vemtion here
and there. He couldn‘t see how we are
going to obtain the county seat under
the circumstances. He had favored the
purahaco of tho Lockwood property. but
now that it was mulled that that
oouldnotbc secured!» did not know
of any otbsrplaoetbat would be latia~
factory. If we deo‘idotogivo the town
hall rty it wa- too small. and it
won hard! be satisfactory to South
Norwalk to vs the court house loo-ts
on than. might be other
appropriation now asked was #100300.
and 8200.000 was likely to be expened if
the measure was carried through. He
did not believe the court house would pay
and be as beneficial as was generally
supposed. lle deemed it best to let the
matter drop.»before we made ourselves
ridiculous.
Mr. llonnecker. who seconded the res—
olutioris. said he did so because he want
ed to refute a report that he opposed the
scheme. lie was not only in favor of
making the appropriation. but was will-
ing to pay an extra assessment if neces~
sary iii order to have Norwalk have the
court house.
J. S. Seymour said that he was present.
at the meeting in Hartford. The last
vote there showed favorable to Nor-walk.
Then they had oiilv the Lockwood place
to offer. What was rieceessai-y was an
unconditional offer of $100000. If that
was made he believed the county seat.
could be surely changed to Norwalk.
Bridgeport's offer. when it was analyzed.
showed that it would be 315.000 in favor
of Bridgeport against the county. Since
the representativi-s of the county. who
voted on the question had seen their con-
stituency they had experienced a change
of heart. They were told they must not
impose a tax on the county iii the face
of a gift of $100,000 that would avoid it.
and now there was uiiq-stioiiably a ma-
jority in favor of Norwalk. He believed
the court house \voiild increase the tax
list $500 000 in five years. and that
would more than pay the interest on
3100.000.
The resolutions were put to vote and
were adopted almost tiiiaiiiiiiously.
E. J. Hill moved that a certified copy
of the resolutions be placed in the hands
of the committee.
The meeting then adjourned.
.\ meeting of the committee was held
immediately after the adjournment of
the meeting. when F. St. John Lockwood
was elected temporary chairman. No
further business was done. and the meets
~iiig adjourned to meet at tho Mahacke—
mo hotel in the evening. At this meet
ing the matter was qtiite freely discusSs
ed. and a siib-comiiiittee was appointed
to go to Hartford aid look after Nor-
walk‘s interests in the matter.
tll‘l‘ZV LETTERS.
In Relation to \\'itliess Fees.
Etfi'fors of [he .\‘cuh‘m i' : —l was glad to
see the inquiry of “ Witness" iii your
last. I think it is something that the
Illlltllt‘ have a right to know about.
There are it good many people tl‘tll itre
stilipieiied at great lllt‘Jlth‘lllt‘ltl‘i‘ to
themselves. ofteti losing a day and some
times more. and iii liiust \‘llsi's‘ d.i not re-
ceive a penny for their trouble. \\'hy 2‘
Is it because the town don't pay its bills?
Uh no. not that. The to“ ii pays all fees
over to the Jiistices--—cosf of court. \vtt-
tiess fees. drawing writ. serving the
same. etc.. and it is expected the Justice
\vill pay to each one their proportion in
their several capacities. but they do tiot
do it. or it is the exception when they
do. I {understand when Mr. \Y. S.
lloiitoit was trial justice, he was very
particular in sis trig that all Witnesses
received their fees. and tiroiiiptly. btit he
is the exception. .\‘ow l take the ground
that she Justice has no right even to
draw’ a witness fee. and I think the
town :treasurer [has no right by law to
pay them olit to any except to witnesses
when called for. and if not called for
then they revert back into the Town
Treasury instead of the jiistice‘s pock~
t‘lrl.
For my authority I quote the follow-
ing from the statutes :
“A21 order! drawn by :i . ;si=- c of Ill" peace on
tlii town ire or for l u~tI :ii I rm hill piosisii
t:oiis.~h1.lsi c 'y their 'tcnis. arid such treasurer

in “hit it .l‘lt ti \1‘Pl3‘ were (“\i‘il. shall be \.x(ll\|‘\l
to have bts~n rcliiiqiiii-tinl to the town."
The law in the matter is‘ very plain.
The town treasurer should pay fees only
to those entitled to them. and those not
called for revert back to the town at the
expiration of six months. By the pro-cl t
practice Witnesses are not only depriv-
ed of their fees. biit the town of whar-
ever of such as are not called for. If
they are collected by the J iisttces the
Justices are getting something that does
not belong to them.
If the town treasurer complies with
the law. witnesses vvill get their fees. or
the town get the benefit of their failure
to call for them. 7..

Editor Sentinel: As David R. Selleck
and certain other parties have been cir
ciilating slanderous stories. etc.. among
my customers. and the ptiblic in general.
to the effect. that I did willfully steal a
certain package. or packages. together
with a telegram belonging to him. from
the store of \V. 1. Moore. 1‘27 Green
street. on Saturday. February ‘20. and
as he has publicly accused me of being a
thief, I Wish to respectfully call the
attention of the public to the facts of
the case. and that I hold the proofs of
what 1 say.
C. S. Trowbridge claimed he sent two
telegrams to Mr. Selleck on the day in
question. in care of Mr. Moore. the first
of which was received and answered by
Mr. Selleck. and that the second one was
placed with the package which I am
accused or having stolrn. I think the
following letter from Mr. Moore to Mr.
Trowbridge completely exonerates me
from all blame in the matter. and shovvs
conclusivel that the stories were circu~
lated by r. Selleck With pure malic-
iousness. with a view of in'uring my
business. GEORGE L. iLLii-s.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24. 1886.
Ma. C. Tnowmuoort. DEAR SIR: There
seems to be some misunderstanding be-
tween Selleck and Philli . in which I
am a little concerned. The facts are
just these: I had a package for A. Solo
mans, and as we receive and ship some
of Mr. Solmans’ goods from our store,
we. thinking Mr. Selleok was not down.
as I had not seen him that dav up to late
in the afternoon. concluded he would
not come. and sent two packages to A.
Solmans. one my own. by Phillips,
althou h he did not care about taking
them. ut I. fearing Mr. Selleck would
not be in, told P. I wanted him to take
the packages up. It appears Mr. Selleck
had been in un nown to me in the morn-
ing. Ont one dispatch came to my
store. an Phillips did not touch it.
This is all there is about the matter and
there is nothing I could blame Phillips
in. Yours Truly.
