Postmaster Doty informed the DAI-

About 10 o’clock last night a small
barn belonging to Miner D. Randall lo-
cated near the tide mill, East Norwalk,
was discovered in flames. Mayflower
Hook & Ladder Co. were promptly at
hand, and made short work of the con-
fiagration. The barn was torn down
very speedily, which probably saved a
dwelling house situated but a
few feet distant. The barn was val-
ucd at 55200 and insured for $5100.

knotiness of the mystery still deepens.

Mrs. Frank Sheldon has received
from the Metropolitan Co., 53500 insur-
ance on the life of her late husband.
Accm‘ding to the company’s rules, a
deliberate suicide, committed soon af—
ter the issuance of a policy, evidently
vith fraudulent intent, debars recovery
of the insurance; but in this case it was
decided by the company itself that the
act of the beneficiary was not of such a
predetermined character, all of which
is greatly to the company’s credit. The
money will prove a blessing to the af-

The city daily has been indulging in
the interviewingbusiness for the pur-
pose of obtaining the views of the good
people of East Nor-walk in regard to
the vexed questions relating to town
consolidation, destruction of the East
Norwalk post-office, etc. The total
number of interviews was 43, of which
1‘.) wanted to consolidate with the city,
0 with the town, and 15 were doubtful,
or indifferent, but favored town, first,
and city as the dernier resort. As the
total population of the east side is 2,500,
there are yet 2,457 to hear from, and
if the above percentage should hold
out, as it undoubtedly would, the city
a’nncxationists Would scarcely be in it.
The boomerang is a weapon, it is said,
which returns and whacks the head of
a bungling manipulator.
Through the courtesy of Messrs. C.
Michel and Frank Becker, the reporter
was ushered into Germania hall, last
evening, where he found the grandest
masquerade sociable ever given by the
Stcngerbund, in progress. The large
hall, and the various other rooms were
.v.
..
crowded nearly as well as the Yankee
minnows in a sardine box, and yet
there was not the slightest friction, and
the best of order. whichis a leading
characteristic of this Society’s enter—
tainments, prevailed throughout the
night. The costumes were so nu-
merous, varied and elegant, that any
detailed and just description is impos-
sible, unless we were to occupy this
whole paper. It must sufiice us to say
that about every costume representing
the. dress of the human family. in all
ages, from the time of the deluge down
to yesterday, was worn on the occasion
and a very enjoyable and fun-resulting
time was the consequence. In the re-
freshment department millions of “all—
hots” and a huge variety of every oth-
er sort of delicacy, were devoured in
the twinkling of an eye, and yet the
supply was inexhaustible. All of the
prominent German—American citizens
of the town and many from neighbor-
ing cities were present, besides some
hundreds of delighted Yankees and
other folks. The music and all other
appointments,was first—class, and it was
the unanimous vote that the sociable
was the most enjoyable one ever given
here by the Germania Seengerbund. A
large addition to the building will be
built by the society during the present
year which will nearly double the size
of the hall, which new big though it is,
will not contain one half of their pa-
trons.

The esteemed Sentinel gets furious
because the East Norwalkers object to
having their post ofilce gobbled up by
South Norwalk under the specious pre-
tence o. supplying that enterprising
and fast growing locality with a carrier
service. It may calm the esteemed
Sentinel’s perturbed spirits to know
that East Norwalk propOscs to be sup—
plied with a carrier service of its own,
without having its post ofllceabolished,
as is so kindly and disinterestedly pro—
posed by the esteemed Sentinel. As
East Norwalk has been and is now
growing at a rate far more rapid than
South Norwalk and is to have. a carrier
service of its own, the proper and hand-
some thing for the esteemed Sentinel
to do now, is to urge that the South
Norwalk post office be abolished and a
carrier service be supplied from the
enterprising locality of East Norwalkl
That would prove the continued exis-
tence of that calm and generous spirit
of fairness which the GAZETTE has
always insisted was the most conspicu—
ous feature and characteristic of the es-
teemed Sentinel—when it didn’t get
excited.
The Sentinel, in mortification over its
defeat, tries to convey the impression
that the DAILY GAZETTE is opposed to
the free delivery system in East Nor—
walk. ”his is not true, as the DAILY
GAZETTE is and has been for a free de-
livery first, last and all the time, but
in the interest of the residents there,
it wants t at free delivery to come
from the East Norwalk post office, and
not from the South Norwalk office at
the cost of abolishing the East Nor-
walk post office.
It is the fractious child that kicks,
and spits and squawls, when thwarted
in its mischief and not such as the
amiable, dignified, sweet tempered and
generous Sentinel is, —when not in a
passion.

EAST NO I; 11111.1(.
En. GAZETTE—Your article on the
East Nor-walk post office affair was
timely, every word of it telling, and
you certainly hit the nail squarely on
the head. The editor of the Sentinel
is about as far off his base upon this
question as he was upon the hattcrs’
unpleasantness, a few years ago, and
appears to be able to do as little jusiice
to the present dispute as he did to the
former one, and it seems to me that
prejudice takes the place of principle
with him. In regard to the consolida-
tion question, the Sentinel has acted
the part of “whole hog or none,” and
it was only another squcel of the same
pitch that it emitted after the last
election. _ The Sentinel man seems to
be about as important as the animals
in the following two lines of poetry I
came across a number of years ago,
v1z:
‘fIt‘s power to hurt each creature feels,
Bulls ram their horns, Jackasses kick their
heels.”
Yours for consolidation and future
prosperity _

Dorian Walolr the Two looks
Figlrl of an Early Hour This
Morning.
Last evening groups of men could be
here and there seen on our streets e11-
gagcd in conversation and shortly after-
wards a large number of carriages and
sleighs could be seen starting from the
borough and going in different direc—
tions. Thc teams met, according to
agreement. in Noroton, and there they
assembled to witness the much talked
of and long anticipated dog fight be-
tween Billy Mullen’s white bull dog
Jack and Billy Anderson’s yellow and
white dog Jack. The crowd was a
motly one, and included all shades and
sizes of sports. There were tall sports,
small sports, long sports, short sports,
fat sports and lean sports, black sports
and white sports. The Franklin avenue
contingent were out in full force, as
was also the Main and "Wall street
sports. There wa.‘ also a large delega-
tion of sports from Stamford and
Darien present.
The ring was made in a large build-
ing, and Darien’s most popular sport-
ing man was chosen referee. Billy
Anderson‘s dog was in fine condition,
but Mullen’s dog was too fat, and
showed a lack of training. At 1:40 this
morning the dogs entered the ring, and
the struggle for master ' commenced.
The white dog fought with the most
science at the commencement and
seemed to have things pretty much his
own way. The dogs had been fighting
about thirty minutes, when some one
hinted that the police had arrived to
stop the fight. The dogs were drawn,
but as soon as everything was assured
to be all right the dogs were again put
in the ring. Billy Mullen’s dog again
forced the fighting and set the pace,
showing great skill in the quickness of
taking hold and wrestling. Meanwhile
the lack of proper training began to
tell on him, and after fighting about
one hour and fifteen minutes he was
badly winded. Anderson’s dog then
began to show his staying qualities
and began to force the fighting. The
white dog was the under one in the
fight, but he hung 011 vigorously, and
after strugging for some time both
dogs were completely winded and were
not able to fight further.
were so much exhausted that they
seemed hardly able to proceed, and at
intervals the chewingwas only of a few
minutes duration, but it was apparent
to all that Mullcn’s “Jack” was the
more exhausted of the two. After a
while the owner of the white dog de-
cided to draw his dog and the referee
awarded the fight to Anderson. The
fight was for a purse of $150 and a per-
centage of the gate receipts.
The sporting fraternity present were
unanimous in their verdict that the
fight of this morning was the gamcst
and one of the hardest ever fought in
this section, and it is possible that the
two dogs will again be matched.
