The Sunday morning service at the
First Congregational church was held
in the chapel. Dr. Noble preached an
interesting sermon and quite a large
congregation attended in spite of the
storm. '

Despite the storm of yesterday morn-
ing, a large congregation assembled at
the Methodist church last evening to
hear Rev. Dr. VanAlstyne preach upon
\Valtz, East avenue and Heaven.

There is to be a meeting this
evening in the South Norwalk M. E.
church at 7:30 o‘clock for the purpose
of organizing a musical society to be
called the “Norwalk Choral Union.”
All who are interested in formng such
a society are invited to attend.

Mr. William Yardley, the English
playwright, who it will be remembered
occupied actor George Clark’s residence
on Prospect Hill a few years ago and
who has many Norwalk friends, has

or stable can be found at Dann’s har-
ness store, No. 50Wall street. tf.

The old church bell that the Congre—
gational Society presented to Dr.
Noble is soon to be converted into a
novel shape which will be very desira-
ble in the way of old associations as
well as of beauty. It is proposed to
have the old bell melted over into two
hundred small tea bells which the
“King’s Daughters” are to sell at $1
each, the proceeds to go towards liqui-
dating the church debt.’ The small
bells when finished are to look like
burnished gold. ..

The storm of yesterdaymorningblew
down the pole and wires of the Ameri-
can Rapid Telegraph Co., in front of
the Hands residence on Belden avenue,
where it laid across the street all day,
obstructing traffic and causing teams to
drive 011 the sidewalk to get past.
Early this morning milkman Remson
came aloiig,‘and not being aware of any
obstruction, ran into it, breaking the
shafts of his wagon and doing other
damages, which made it necessary for
him to procure another wagon to finish-

his route. '_ __ .

The Sentinel Goes Into llonvul'sions
Over The Daily~liazelle’s Hi1
and Resorts is childish ,
Personaliiies.

The GAZETTE had no idea that its
playful allusion to the Sentinel’s hys-
terics would cause that harmless but.
exhausting affliction to develop into a
series of grotesque and frantic convul-
sions. Our article on the East Nor-
wrilk post-office case seems to have hit
our esteemed contemporary in a very
tefder spot, judging from its cantor-
tiéns, which simply confirm, in. .thc
0)th of the public, the suspicion that
the Sentinel’s tactics are in the line of
creating and fostering a bitter sectional
prejudice, no matter what -may be the
means employed, so that the end is at-
tained. With its childish personalities
we have no time nor disposition to
deial. The main question is the one of
justice to East Norwalk in the post-
ofiice matter, and the facts are as
stated in the GAZETTE of Friday. and
n ,'thcr newspaper repetitions nor
newspaper quibblings will change the
aspect of the situation. The Sentinel’s
three columns of nonsense amount to
noithing against the facts as they stand,
which are, that the peeple of East Nor-
walk do not want their post office taken
from them and its revenue transferred
and their convenience subordinated to
South Norwalk ; the 30‘.) FlgllOl‘S of the
petition for its abolishment include
many women who signed their hus-
buinds’ names without the authority or
knowledge of the latter, and does not
represent the sciitiin out of the majority;
the notice to the DAILY GAZETTE from
Washington, upon which the Sentinel
lays so much stress, stating that no
change would be made, was sent the day
before the editor of the GAZETTE left
Norwalk for W ashington. Further-
more, the item published in the Senti—
nel of the iTth, announcing that orders
had been givcn for the discontinuance
of thwEast.Norwalk- post office, was
disclaimed by the post office authori-
ties in Washington, in a letter to a cer-
tain party in East Norwalk, who clipped

it in a note of inquiry to the Third As-
sistant Postmaster General. Follow-
ing is that official’s reply:

“Sir: -—Yours of the 1‘7tli received.
The article referred to by you was pub-
lished without any authority from this
office. There is no intention of discon-
tinuing your post office or establishing
the free delivery servme in East Nor-
walk on the 1st of Feburary, 1101' has
any one been authorized to say so.”

On Friday, Selectman Daskam was
waited upon bf a veteran of the l‘ith
New Jersey Vols, who exhibited his
papers and desired to be paid the $200
voted by the town to the veterans of
N orwalk, who re-enlisted and had been
credited to the quota of this town.- The
genial Col. smiled a bland smile, and
told the veteran that he had been pay-
ing New York, Mass, R. I. and 001111.,
but that they had refused to pay claims
outside of the United States. ' It is
needless to remark that the old vet. de—
parted in somewhat of a temper.

As stated several days ago, the DAILY
GAZETTE has a steam-engine hitched
up with its water—motor, in order that
suflicient speed could be obtained to
run off its large edition in time for the
newsboys. On account of the contin-
ued failure of our water supply, the
motor has been running slower and
slower each day, and on Saturday the
engine got mad at the motor for not
doing its share of the work, and wanted
to scrap then and there. It busted the
belt, tied itself up in a bow-knot, and
with steam in its eye, made a dash for
the motor, with the full intention of
knocking it out on the first round, but,
owing to the dexterityof our devil, who
saw the fight coming on, the engine
was collared, and returned to its origi—
nal position, thus averting what might
have been a double murder.

-1 Desperate Fight on. an. Ice (/Irulr'.

Hartford, Jan. 26.—~In harvesting ice
in his big houses at Bolton Lake,
among the mountains. the other day,
Contractor Scott had a desperate fight
with one of his workmen on the ice run
in mid-air. The men were at the sum-
mit of the chute, and the laborer sud-
denly attacked the contractor almost
without warning. The powerful men
fought on a narrow perch, and it evi-
dently was the intention of the work-
man to throw Mr. Scott to the ground.
Finally the employe aimed a terrific
blow with a hammer at the contractor’s
head, which the latter party parried;
then Scott, exerting all his strength,
lifted his assailant and hurled him from
'the chute. He fell forty—five feet to
the hard ground. Scott also fell, and
his spine was seriously injured. Both
men are in a critical condition.

at 500 George street was ent‘rcd by
burglars, who carried off about $75
worth of booty. To secure an entrance
the thief walked up the front door steps
cooly and smashed a large light of
glass. He then put his hand inside
and pushed the catch back. Throwing
up the window he then went inside.
Mrs; Rice’s dressing case wasrifled and
and several pieces of jewelry were
taken. From the dining table were
taken pieces of solid silver. In one
room which the thief visited were a
number of drawers containing valua-
bles. Those were locked and he did

The Legislature.

Hartford. Jan. 26.——Thc Legislature
will begin its fourth week to—niorrow
with nothing yet done. The joint coin-
mittees havc not yet been appointed,
although they are usually announced
'(in‘tliiz ‘sccond day of the session. This
is not Speaker Paige’s fault for he
could not announce appointments of
joint committees until the Senate had
voted to appoint such committees. If
the Senate concurs to—morrow in the
joint- rulc resolution adopted by the
House Wednesday, appointing joint
committees, then Speaker -Paigc will
announce his appointments of commit—
tecincn to-morrow. This is what every
member of the House is interested in.
The most honorary and desirable ap-
pointment is chairman of the judiciary
committee. This will go to Stiles Jud-
son of Stratford. The committee on
cities and boroughs will be a very im-
portant one this year on account of the
numerous horse car charters and other
things that will come up if the Legisla-
ture ever gets ready to do any business.

that he \ 'as suffering from a severe fit

Words constructed from theletters con-
tained in the the three words, “Frost
and Fanshawe,” 1,532 of which were
correct. Dr. Gregory’s son Ward, was
second. There were several lists
handed in which contained over a
thousand Words. A large audience was
present at the evening performance.
when the prize was awarded. At one
place in New York state, we are in-
formcd, the highest number of words
made from the same name was between
wenty-four and twenty-five hundred.

It is expected that a town meeting
will soon be called to authorize the pay-
ment of $3200 bounty to the 17 members
of the 12th Connecticut who received
but $5100 for re-enlisting. This is as it
should be, as these veterans are justly
entitled to it, and they should receive
the same amount as paid other vet-
erans.
