clock was striking the midnight hour,
the grand old bell at St. Paul’s rang
out loud and clear, proclaiming that
the new year had dawned. It is many

our town, but in days gone by it is said
by our oldest inhabitants, that each
new year was welcomed in this beauti-
ful way. _
The New Year’s dance, given by the

’I'IIE SO'UTTIQVOR "2-! LK LI'Q UOR CASES
After our report closccb on Wednes-
tO the stand, and examined by Mr.
Biddle. Mr. Crofut testified that» he
thought the location of the Creagh
and Jesse. saloons: a verydangerous one,
in fayct, more dangerous than any other
placo‘, on account of the number of
people who crossed and recrossed the
track. He had often stood upon the
depot; platform' and watched people
crosa before incoming trains, and had
had his hair stand on end at some of
the narrow escapes.
Gnomes-examination by Mr. Frost,
he stated that he thought the location
crossing, if some other business‘ was
carried 011 at those places inatcad of
the saloon business, and on further
cross-examination by Mr. Hurlbutt, he
stated that fora number of years before
the railroad company created the.
fence about their property north of the
saloons it MRS used as a. general cross-
i11g,_’but could not state whether more
people crossed over at this point than
over; to the saloons, as he had never
con 11th them.
Mr. Henry Morgan was next placed
on the stand and examined by Mr.
location a suitable one, for the reason
thatpcoplc coming {but of these sa-
loons were liable to be run over by the
care. He once saw a drunken man
man come out of one of the saloons
and stagger towards the cars and
thought him in great danger. 011
amaze-examination by Mr. Frost, he
stated that the man was going toward
the smoking car, and could not say
whether he entered the train or not,
,andpn flipthcr questioning by Mr.
'H iilbuttlife admitted that the man
rwfijé on th .other track from the one 011
5which the train stood, and going in the.
direct-ion of the up train, so that if the
yup train had been coming he would
illfll’O faced it. He also admitted that
ho had read of certain celebrated men
whose brain had been quickcncd by
of their best speeches while under the
influence of liquor.
Rev. Mr. North, pastor of filigMctho-
dist church, was the next witness ex-
amined by Mr. Biddle. Mr. North
thought, the location was unsuitable for
the feason that it imperiled human life
every time a person crossed the track
to the saloon, and when coming back
intoxicated. Also that ladies of sensi-
tive nature and others in delicate con-
dition, were greatly excited by seeing
people crossing the track. He. had
once head two ladies scream when a
dog had run barking at an engine ap-
proaching the station. He also thought
the crossing at this point more danger-
oua than the crossing at \Vashington
street. He had frequently seen men
crossing the track and being of a sensi—
tive nature, it had always affected him.
011 being turned over to Mr. Hurlbutt
for cross-examination, a lively but
pleasant exchange of words took place,
which indicated that Mr. North had he
studied law, would have made a num-
ber one lawyer. Mr. Hurlbutt, by a
number of well constructed questious,
drew from Mr. North that he based his
idea of the effect on sensitive ladies of
seeing people cross the track at this
point, on the fact that he had once
heard two ladies scream when a dog
barked at an approaching engine.
He also admitted that he had seen
sober men as close to a. train, as drunk-
en mcn. He would not object to hotels
having a bar—room, under certain con-
ditions.
Bev. Mr. .Wheaton was the last wit-
ness, and in answer to Mr. Biddle
stated, that in his opinion the "location
was 11nSuitablc, grounded on the same
testimony as the preceding witnesses.
He thought it was dangerous to cross
and a nuisance to people who stood 011
the platform to have to see the condition
of people coming and going from these
saloons. He had in September seen
several. young men running across
from the platform just as the express‘
came around the curve. He thought
one was intoxicated and he ran down
the track in the same direction as the
train was going. On another occasion
he had seen a man. step upon the depot
platform not two feet in front of the
train. “'hcn cross—examined by Mr.
Hurlbutt witness admitted that the
young man who ran down the track
had entered the saloon and closed the
door before ,_the train reached this
point. He also admitted that he could
not tell whether the second man came
up or down the track.
Mr. Frost here took the witness and
spent the entire time before. adjourn-
ment in an unsuccessful attempt to
draw out of him the fact as to whether
or not the man could have stepped
upbn the depot platform at the name.
had come up or down the-track.
The hour of four o’clock. havingbeen
reached, the commissioners adjourned
until Monday January 51311,.- vat ten

Biddle. Mr. Moi-gaifclid not. think the'
the. use of liquor, and had made some.
point that'hc did. step upon- it, if he‘
not be given until. after all the cases
have been heard. ‘
The gravamen of the testimony thus
far giveu against the, applicants, is sub-
stantially on the basis that in the opin-
ion ot‘ the witnesses. there, is no good
or safe place for the sale of intoxicants.
Or like Josh Billings’ theory that the
one only right. place for a boil to be
located, was on the other fellow’s nose.

The Italian‘s at: the barracks near t i’
Leonard coal sheds kept open house to
theitfifriends on New Year’s day, and too
much “spoopju juice” set the inevitable
stiletto at work. In consequence Pas-
quale Merino is to be tried this; afternoon
at 4.30 before Judge Austin for stabbing
Michael Leonctto. From all accounts
they must; have had a sort of monkey
and parrot time down in Little Italy.
0111' village “sports” are greatly ex-
cited over a reported “scrap” between
a noted tea merchant and “bould butch-
er boy,” wherein the former proceeded
in a most vigorous and reprehensible
manner to dislike the latter, although
they were in the eye of the law, broth-
ers. It is claimed that he of the tea
was the aggressor and he of the fresh
meat, the most injured and innocent
party.

Every hill in the neighborhood of the
borough is alive with youngsters of all
sizes and conditions, while the thought
that there is any hard work about
climbing the hill, is evidently lost sight
of in the delight of riding down. But
to-day’s rain storm is likely to suspend
their exhilarating sport.
Mayor Kcelcr’s grand opening rc-
ccption yesterday, was very largely at-
tended. In fact, if all who called to
pay their respects to our newly install-
ed Chief Ruler, had voted for him, he
would have been elected “by a large
majority.” Refreshments were served
and ‘ ‘all went mery as a marriage feast. ”
Among the guests from abroad, were
an office editor of the Hartford Post,
and a staff correspondent of the N. Y.
World. In the eloquent pathos and
metting benediction of Rip Van Win-
kle’s sublime toast, the sprightly little
DAILY GAZETTE would say—“\Varden

you live long and prosper.” '
The New Year’s reception given by
the Y. M. C. A.. was a most gratifying
success. During the afternoon. and
evening over 150 had called at the
pleasant rooms of the Association,where
members of the Ladies‘ Auxiliary re-
ceived and dispensed the good things
so generously provided. Fruit and
flowers adorned the tables, where cake,
coffee and sandwiches were served,
while the. rooms were. tastefully deco-
rated with flag. , evergreens, etc. The
Y. M. C. A. of Norwalk, should enter
upon the work of a. new year, full of
encouragement. Their members are
