Whalley avenue. The alarm which was
rung in was immediately answered by
the majority of the engines in the city,
and for five hours they poured a steady
stream of water into the building. The
engines met with a scarity of water,
and as the river was quite near they
utilized the water. The machinery in
the mill was entirely destroyed, and
also a large quantity of lumber, The
loss will be about $10,000. Partly cov-
ered by insurance. The origin of the
fire has not been determined.

SOUTH NORWALK LIQUOR «Lu-HES.
George B. Harvey was'the first wit-
ness after recess, and in answer to Mr.
Hurlbutt, testified that he knew Elbert
Ayres a1--i saw him when he was killed.
Ayres was crossing from in front of the
Adams Express Company’s oflice to-
ward South Main street.
Cross-examined by Mr. North, wit-
ness testified that he was sitting on his
truck when he saw the train strike
Ayres; could not say whether deceased
had boon drinking or not.
Redirect by Mr. Frost: The space in
the South Main street front was not.
fenced and nearly every one passed
across at this point. By Mr. Hurlbutt:
Deceased was facing the engine when
it struck him. 1
William T. Craw testified in answer
to Mr. Frost, that he had been Justice
of the Peace and acting coroner from
1857 to 1880, was City Judge about six
years and selectman several terms. Dur-
ing this time he had never known of an
accident between the depot and these
saloons, but had held several inquests
on deaths that had occurred on other
parts of the road, one of which was
President Scranton of the road, who
was killed south of the old depot. He
also held inquest on another man who
had been struck below the present de-
pot. Up to the time he changed his
residence, that piece of ground where
the tank stands was used as a public
crossing. Cross-examined by Mr. Bid-
dle, witness testified that he did not re—
member Of any evidence being given at
the inquests that the men killed had
been intoxicated at the time they were
killed, although it might have been sur-
mised that they were under the influ-
ence of liquor, still there was no direct
testimony to that effect.
Frank C. Craw was the next witness,
and in answer to Mr. Hurlbutt testified
that he knew Jack Bartram and saw
him when he was killed. He was on the
track north side of the depot and came
from the direction'of Lockwood’s cigar
store and was not coming or going to-
wards either of these saloons.
Cross-examined by Mr. Biddle, wit«
ness testified that he was walking about
ten feet behind Bartram when he was
struck, and was more than thirty feet
from the depot. Bartram did not show
any evidence of having been drinking.
He looked around when I called to him
to look out, and then jumped. Thought
he was safe, but saw his body on the
other side of the track when the train
passed. 7
A. S. Ferris was the next witness and
in answer to Mr. Frost, testified that
his place of business was nearest to
these saloons of any in the city, and he
had no objection to the grantingof a
license to these saloons. He thought
that the crossing in front of these sa-
loons less dangerous than at Washing-
ton street,because at Washington street
you could not see a train coming from
the east until it was rounding the curve,
while at the saloon crossing you had an
unobstructed view in both directions.
He often crossed at this crossing from
the rear of his store and it was used as
a crossing by railroad men generally.
South Main street residents often cross-
ed that way to catch trains. Had never
heard, seen or known of any one being
killed in front of these saloons. Did
not think a saloon I'wonld be as danger-
,ous in that location as a restaurant
would be if women and children had to
cross. Cross-examined by Mr. Biddle,
witness thought Washington street the
more dangerous of the two crossings.
Had a narrow escape himself at Wash-
ington street. He would like to See a
fence gate at this crossing, so that peo-
ple could not get on . the track. Had
never seen a drunken man come out of
either of these saloons. ‘
Conrad Becker was examined by,Mr.
Frost and testified as follows: Have
been a resident of South NOrwalk for
Have never heard or known
of anyone being killed between these
saloons and the depot. Have no ob-
jection to having these saloons located
there, as they had been there since he
had been in town. They were no more
dangerous in their present location than
other saloons. Did not think they
were as dangerous as they would be if
located on Washington street owing to
the inability of seeing a train when
coming from the east.
- Cross—examined by Mr. Biddle, wit-
ness stated that when people came up
Washington street they could not see
in either direction until they got upon
the track. Sometimes the gates were
not in order, and a flagman was sta-
tioned there to warn people. Thought
a change of crossing whereby the track
would pass over the road might be
beneficial to the city. fRe-direct by
Mr. Hurlbutt, witness hadnever'heard
of a grade crossing being. discontinued
on account of foot passengers. ,
Editor Ellendorf of the Mechanics’
Journal, was the next witness and in
answer to Mr. Frost testified as follows:
Have. been a resident for thirteen
years, both as a hatter and printer,
was now publisher of the- Mechanics’
Journal, which position he had occu-
pied for 6 years. During his career as
an editor and publisher he had' been
engaged in gathering news, but in all
that time he never knew or “card of
anyone being killed, struck ‘01- -njured
between these saloons and? the depot.
Thought the location suitable on ac-
count of the traveling public, who do:
sired a saloon near at hand, as was the
case in Stamford, Bridgeport and Hart-
ford. Cross-examined by Mr. Biddle,
witness testified that the 59110011 in
4 Stamford was only divided from the
depot by the width of the street, and
he considered it more dangerous than
the location of these salOons, for the
reason that people were not only in
danger of being run over by the cars,
but were in danger of being run over
by vehicles.
Dr. Burke , was the last witness
placed upon , the stand, and in reply to
Mr. ’ Frost testified that he had practiced
medicine for 15 years. Had been cor-
oner one year and medical examiner 8
or 9 years, also railroad surgeon most
of the time. He had examined the
records of his Office and found that no
person had been injured between these
saloons and the depot and he had no
personal knowledge as medical examin-
er and railroad surgeon, ~of anyone be-
ing injnred there. His reCords ex-
tended back to 1883, and would show
‘the location and facts if anyone had
been injured. .. -
Cross-examined by Mr. Biddle, wit-
ness testified that he did not think the
location of these saloons had anything
to do with people getting on the track
as drunken men. always start for the
track if they live between Whistleville
and the city. \Vitness here proceeded
to make a vigorous statement to the ef-
fect that he had been misquoted in
the printed reports of former hearings,
and he had been criticised on account
of such incorrect reports of his ideas,
and he now desired to state his exact,
opinion again. He believed. that all
saloons should be located in the most
prominent places and [not in’ the out-
skirts of the city, where young men
without home pleasures would congre-
gate and make them a place Of resort.
The hearing here adjourned to Sat-
urday, Jan. 10th, at 9.15 a. m., when
the cases of Quitner and O’Brien will
be taken up.
CITY ci'OUNCIL.
The new council met last evening,
with Mayor Reed in the chair, and
Clerk Crowe officiating until his suc-

Mayor Reed read his message, which
was short and to the point. He recom-
mended that the repair Of streets be
accomplished by filling in with broken
stone. instead of dirt, and the side hill
streets paved with cobble stones; that
new sewers be constructed of sufficient
size, as it had been demonstrated that
the old sewers were not of sufficient
capacity; that an ordinance be passed
requiring property owners in front of
whose premises sewers are laid, to con-
nect therewith; that a jumper with 500
or 1,000 feet of hose be kept at one of
the livery stables, so that a horse could
be hitched to it and sent to a fire in the
least possible time; that a modification
of the contract with the Norwalk Gas
Company be made so that lights may
be lighted until daylight, on such
nights as they may be required; that
an ordinance be passed rcquirin g house-
holders on the principal streets to be
required to set their garbage and ashes
out on the sidewalk, in cans, boxes,
or barrels, and that the public cart be
used to gather up and take away such
garbage and ashes; that the land bought
in the Borough for reservoir purposes
be sold; that the floating city debt of
$40,145.96, represented by notes held
by banks be bonded; and that an ad-

One of thy Saddest or Cemeteries.
Mr. Walter Besant once wrote a pathetic
description of the church yard at Bourne-
mouth, where so many young folks are
buried, but the following note from Jo-
hannesburg tells a still more pathetic tale:
“One of the saddest sights in the world is
the cemetery at Johannesburg. It is a.
heart breaking place. A piece of raw .velt
on the slope of a. hill above the town has
been inclosed, and this is the last resting
place of between twelve and fourteen hun-
dred people, the larger portion of whom
are young fellows between nineteen and
thirty, who rushed up here convinced that
a few months would see them rich for life.
Most of the graves are nameless, but all
are numbered. Just beyond the cemetery
is agglittering mountain. When the sun
shines on it it sparkles with a thousand
prismatic colors and looks like the en-
trance to the palace 'Of diamonds where
the fairy Florizella. lives; but in reality it
is merely the place to which all the rub-
bish of Johannesburg is carted, and, as ap-
parently half the food of the town comes
out of tins, the result is a meretricious
splendor quite in keeping with the other
agtractions of “Goldopolis.” —- London

AWAITRESS FOR A DAY
ROMANCE or _A $50 311.1. THAT
HANGS IN A' BEAUTY’S ROOM.
A Pretty Story of City People Roughing
It In a Wild and Unsottled Part-of the
Bl: West—A Sister-ln-Law Takes the
. Place of Servant for One Meal.
In the pretty morning room of a certain
1
young woman in this ,city there hangs on i
the wall a $50 bill, framed first by a wide a
gray mat and edged with a narrow rim Of ;
scarlet plush picked out in gold. Thereby 5
hangs a tale. One of the Easter weddings
was that of the young woman’s sister.
She married a civil engineer, who, straight~
way after the manner of civil engineers,
rushed off to Arizona to survey a copper
mine about to be or already opened in that
distant territory. His bride accompanied
him,’ and the sister was induced to go also
for purposes, as she put it, of “travel, ex—
ploration and adventure.”
Things were not altogether bad out.
among the Indians; the mine was on the
line of a railroad: they had carried with
them a good many home belongings; a
house was secured. such as it was, and a
more or less proper establishment set up.
The summer and the sister’s stay were
nearly at an end, when one afternoon Mr.
Tom, the husband and brother-in-law,
sent word from the works that the English
member of the firm which was developing
the mine had arrived suddenly for a few
hours’ stay and he would bring him up to
dinner. This announcement created some
consternation. - .
The cook was a half breed who was ex-
cellent within his limits, but he knew
nothing even of the rudiments of but—
lering. As a matter of fact the fam-
ily were accustomed to dine en buffet.
This, freely translated, meant frequent.
trips on the part ‘ of one diner or an-
other to the Chest at the side of the room,
which by courtesy was called :1 sideboard.
“But an Englishman, you know, Nell,”
said Mrs. Tom plaintively, “expects at
dinner to be served if he takes that meal in
an Indian jungle.
and lobster, and the superb joint which
Nelson can get up, we can offer a most pre-
sentable menu, but what shall we do for
some one to change the plates?”
A MAID FOR AN HOUR.
Miss N ell immediately begged to take the
role for a single appearance. “It will be
no end of fun,” size argued, “and I warrant
neither you nor Tom nor the Englishman
has ever been served as I shall serve you
to-night. I’ve always contended it took a
high degree of intelligence to create a per-
fect butler or butleress,” she added with a
laugh, “and I’d immensely like to show
what culture can do with a dinner tray.”
In the end, though With many misgiv—
ings on Mrs. Tom’s part, the plan was ar-
ranged. A note was dispatched to Mr.
Tom warning him net to mention his
sister-in-law in any way—that all would
be explained later. It was a few moments
after their guest had been welcomed that
acapped and aproned figure appeared in
the doorway announcing quietly, “Dinner
is served.” Whatever Mr. Tom may have
thought or felt he could not express—
conld do nothing indeed but follow his
wife as the Englishman handed her out.
Everything went beautifully in the dining
room. From soup to cheese the Serving
was irreproachable. The guest, to genial,
companionable man of perhaps 50, was
visibly affected by the skill and general el-
egance of the waitress, and Mrs. Tom
caught several several searching glances
thrown upon her maid.
Nothing was said, however, till the close
of the dinner, when, the coffee having been
placed upon the table, the deft and demure
handmaiden withdrew. Then the English-
man voiced his surprise that Mrs. Tom
could keep in this out of the way place
such a. thoroughly trained and capable
maid, whereupon Mrs. Tom, knowing that
her sister could retire no further than the
screen in the corner of the room which
concealed an emergency butler’s pantry,
evolved for her benefitadelightful little
history.
“Yes,” she began slowly, sipping her
coffee, “Ellen is quite a. superior young
person. As you have noticed she is intelli-
gent and refined much beyond her station,
really very well educated, too. And she is
the heroine of a very pretty little ro-
mance.”
ROMANCE AND RETRIBUTION.-
At this juncture aslight rattling of glass‘
ware behind the screen warned Mrs. Tom
that her story was taking efiect. and with
a gleam of mischief, at which her; husband
could have groaned aloud, she proceeded:
"Sheis engaged to be married to a very
estimable young 'man in New York, the
wedding day was 'set over a year ago, when
six weeks before the date arrived the com-
ing groom was stricken blind in an hour.
He has been under treatment ever since,
slowly regaining his sight, and she, poor
girl, is saving every penny of her wages
against the time when he must leave the
hospital. I think she means'to marry him
as soon as possible and support him until
he can get work again. It is quite pathetic
and interesting—her devotion.”
But Mr. Tom could stand the strain no
longer, and proposed a return to the par-
lor. The Englishman, however, did not
drop the subject at once, asking a number
of questions about Ellen and her “com-
pany.” He left, as was expected, soon af-
ter dinner, and Miss Nell was free to pour
the vials of her wrath upon her wicked
sister’s head, an occupation in which she
was ably seconded by Mr. Tom when he re-
turned from putting their recent guest
aboard his train.
The end, however, was not yet. Within
a fortnight Mrs. Tom received a note from
the Englishman, dated at New York, .in
which he said that he had been much im-
pressed with the loyalty and devotion of
her ’maid, Ellen, who was undoubtedly a
most worthy young person, and he went
on to beg Mrs. Tom to find some way to
bestow the inclosed—a $50bill—upon her
‘ to aid-in her courageous and praiseworthy
effort.
Thus retribution came to Mrs. Tom.
She was overcome at what ‘she had done,
and there was no comfortable way out of
it. It was impossible to explain to the
Englishman how he had been deceived.
Nor could the bill be plausibly returned on '
the part of Ellen. There seemed nothing
to do but to keep it and thank the donor,
which Mrs. Tom accomplished, it must be
confessed, with much less than her usual
grace. The bill hangs on the wall of “Ele
len’s” room today—a double warning
against theatricals in private life, and
the utterance of pretty romances which
have no foundation in fact.——Her Point of
