A city newsboy says that, since the
advent of the DAILY GAZETTE, he can’t
sell half as many hour-glasses as he
used to, and can’t get more than half
enough GAZETTEs, often, to supply the
demand.
A stench. sewer gas, ’tis said to be,
at a point near the Mahackemo Hotel,
is not only intolerably unpleasant to
one’s olfactories, but is also mighty un-
healthy. It should have attention from
the health officer. _
The salvation army hold lively relig-
ious exercises nowadays. At the meet-
ing Sunday evening, after the prelim-
inary proceedings, the Captain re-
marked: “Now, brothers, if you are
ready, load your guns with the Spirit
of God and fire the charges right into
the sinners’ hearts.” We fear it would
require the biggest cannon ever made
to produce a visible indentation
upon some sinners we wot of.
Last evening. “Mat,” a hump-backed
peddler, in the employ of Harris, the
dealer in second hand goods, was
thrown from a wagon by reason of the
same coming in collision with another
team standing in front of Moore 8: Har-
mon’s store on Main street. He was
picked up unconscious and. taken into
Dexter’s store where his injuries, se-
vere hip bruises, were prescribed for
by Dr. Baker. The poor old man was
taken to his home in East Norwalk.

campment—Another of the Post’s en-
joyable sociables and great bean bakes
will be given in the near future—At
the \V. R. C. entertainment last week,
Commander Tuttle of the Post passed
through an exciting experience. As he
resides at Five Mile River, he was ob-
liged to take the 10.23 train in order to
return home. Some wicked wretch
set the hall clock back, and the Com-
mander did not discover the trick until
three minutes to train time, but he was
equal to the dire emergency. Gently
placing his wife under one arm, he fled
up the street, beating the approaching
train by several necks. Verily, the old
vets are not all dead yet; and woe to
that clock-tinker when he is caught
and dragged before the bar of an out-
raged public.

East lidrirrolk Meeting.
The Meeting Adjourns in Disorder
Without Action.
As predicted by your reporter there
was a gathering at the consolidation
meeting last evening, in the Volunteer
Hose House, that would have necessi-
tated an adjournment to a larger hall
but for the fact that just previous to
the meeting being called to order an
alarm of fire very materially thinned
out the attendance. The meeting, how-
ever, was called to order andavote
taken as to whom should act as chair-
man, the choice lying between H. M'
Prowitt and John Mains. The latter re-
ceived a majority of the ayes. The
vote was doubted and the house was
divided right and left with like result,
after which Mr. Mains was declared
elected. Mr. E. Gordon was unani-
mously elected secretary. Some time
was lost in finding a call of the meet-
ing for reading, when the following
was presented by Mr. Worden:
Mr. Chairman and'GentlemenL—I
move you that a committee of five citi-
zens be appointed to remonstrate and
oppose the extending of the corporate
limits of the city of South Norwalk by
taking in the territory of East Nor-
walk, so called, but we are Wllllng,'
should the borough of Norwalk or the
city of South Norwalk conclude to con-
solidate in one city to be called the city
of Norwalk, we Wlll heartily jom with
them and do all in our power to make
it a city second to none in the state.
A question then arose on D. P. Mor-
rell’s motion, that it be tabled indefi-
nitely, as to whether it was offered as
a resolution or a motion, which brought
out remarks from Messrs. Hoag, Mor-
rell and Worden, after which a motion
to adjourn was carried by the most un-
parliamentarily conducted meeting it
was ever in the writer’s province to
chronicle.

BURGESS MEETING.
A meeting of the Court of Burgesses
was held at their rooms last evening.
Warden Keeler was in the chair and
burgesses Bowe, Vanderhoef, Burr,
Buxton, Kent and O’Reilly were pres-
ent. The minutes of the previous meet-
ing were read and approved. A num-
ber of small bills were audited, found
correct and ordered paid. '
Action on the appointment of an iii-
spector of fire alarmwas taken up, and
the court failed to concur in Chief En-
gineer Prowitt’s appointment of John
H. Hoyt. On motion it was voted that
Chief Prowitt be instructed to withdraw
Mr. Hoyt’s name and appoint Charles
Riley in his place.
Cnmmunications were received noti-
fying the court of the Phoenix Engine
and Hope Hose companies’ choice of
officers at their annual elections.
In the matter of appointment of a
spebial policeman two applicants were
brought out, and on an informal ballot
F. F. McCarthy received 3 votes and
R. N. Morehouse 3. On the second
ballot the vote was thesame and the
Warden voted for Morehouse and he
was declared elected.
On motion of Burgess O’Reilly, _ it
was voted that the vote of the previous
meeting relative to the working of the
highways be rescinded, and that the
matter be left with the committee on
highways. '
It was voted that the matter of
cleaning the catch basins for the en-
suing year be left with the committee
on sewers.
It was voted that the committee on
highways be empowered to purchase a
small lawn moWer.
Burgess O’Reilly asked the court to
empower him to purchase a ”cheap
wardrobe for the police rooms, and
several lanterns. He also asked that
an electric light be placed therein. It
Was voted that Mr. O'Reilly be empow-
cred‘to purchase anything reasonably
necessary for the police department.
Voted, that the water commissioners
be instructed to inspect the water
mains on Main street and report their
condition to the court of burgesses.
Application of Edward. Appleby, of
South Norwalk, for a license to tap
sewers was rejected on account of the
borough by-laws stating that none but
residents of the borough shall be Ii-
cense . '-
It was voted that the sum due the es-
tate of Edward Street, deceased, in the
assessment of damages on the Main
street widening, be paid. _ _
The matter of the suit pending against
the borough brought by B. W. Maples,
was then discussed. The suit was for
$6.00 for advertising a borouorh meet-
ing, in the Hour, which t e court
claimed was never ordered, hence the
suit. It was voted that the Wardenbe
instructed to pay the. same providing
the amount claimed and fees did not
exceed the sum of $12, the burgesses
being of the opinion that the sum was
. so trival that it was not worth fighting
about, and several oflered to “chip in ’
and pay the bill. .
The meeting then adjourned.
