Squires, the Bethel correspondent of
the Danbury News, in his report of the
recent amateur minstrel show in that
town, styled the song rendered by
'Wortman, one of the end-men, “a howl-

Wortman’s singing didn’t sound that
way at all. He’s just as good a singer
as Squires is, any day.

Another very delightful occasion was

Norwalk, from four to six, yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Knapp and Miss
Knapp were assisted in receiving the

Mrs. George Jennings, while the bean-
tiful table was presided at by Mrs. Ed.
Knapp, assisted by Miss Lina Couch,
Mrs. Fred Quintard, Mrs. Robert A.
McDonald and Miss Jennings. It was
a most enjoyable social event, and will
linger for many a day in the memory
of the many delightful people who were
so fortunate as to be present.

Charlie Beers, living on Main street,
is the proud possessor of a hilly goat,
a cute and mischievous little beast that
will bear watching. Yesterday while
the family were at dinner, Billy came
pattering lightly into the dining room,
sneaked quietly up to Charlie, put his
forepaws up on Charlie’s lap, surveyed
the table and contents with the air of
an epicure. then deftly picked a sweet
potato off Charlie’s plate and trotted
out to enjoy it. For dessert he ate a
couple of tomato cans and an auction
bill and washed it all down with a
couple of pounds of shingle nails, then
went back to the house for a napkin.

Johnny Judge, of Bridgeport, the
hustling gleaner for the Sunday Herald,
was in town yesterday, presumably
in search of material for the Norwalk
columns of that paper for next Sun-
day’s issue. Johnny never goes back
empty handed, for he possesses in an
eminent degree, the happy faculty of
making bricks without straw, and can
fill an exhilarating. and racy page with-
out much if any raw material to work
on. When it comes to manufacturing
mountains from mole-hills, startling
sensations from simple hints, scandals
from winks and much from nothing,
and putting it all into such attractive
and readable shape as to make a local
edition go off like hot cakes, Johnny
has few equals and no superiors.

George Nash, as is well known, is an
athlete and instructor in athletics, and
it has long been a query with his friends
“upon what meat does this, our Caesar
feed,” that he can perform such feats
of agility and strength, and maintain
such suppleness of limb. The secret
is out. On Wednesday forenoon he got
up, sat down to a late breakfast and de-
voured sixty-two good sized pancakes,
generously lubricated with ham gravy
and maple syrup, besides two slices of
ham and a dish of fried potatoes. Two
hours later his dinner was ready and

 

he was ready for it.

A number of Norwalk young people
attended the sociable given at the resi-
dence of Sherman Morehouse in ‘Vilton
last evening. There were about a hun—
dred guests present, and a most glo—
riously enjoyable time was had, as can
easily be imagined by any who have

ever attended such a gathering at.

body was made to feel at home and all
entered into the spirit of the occasion.
There was dancing constant and lively,

himself, backed 11p by Shipman and
Ben. Allen; card playing was indulged
in by devotees of the game ; social par-
lor O‘ames were played ; conversation
was carried on by bevies of fair women
and brave men, and the hours flew
swiftly by, till the gray of dawn streak~
ed the eastern sky. Then all went
home, voting the affair a success.

Ernest, second son of Norbert Bossa,
of New Canaan, and Ida, second daugh—

married at the home of the bride’s
parents, corner of Merwin street and
Harbor avenue, yesterday afternoon.
Rev. Charles M. Selleck, of St. Paul’s
church officiating, the ceremony be-
ing performed in the presence of about
thirty of the immediate friends and
relatives of the contracting parties.
The bride was becomingly attired in a
traveling dress of navy blue trimmed
with velvet and silk passementerie, with
hat to match. A splendid wedding
feast was spread. They were the recip-
ients of valuable ornamental and use-
ful presents, not the least of them
being two elegant clocks and a check
for $50. Mr. Bossa’s fellow employees
at Benedict’s shoe manufactory in New
Canaan presented him with a beautiful
lemonade set. Mr. and Mrs. Bossa
will reside in New Canaan.

Bill Darrow, one of Bates’ expert
stone cutters, comes down from his
home in Branchville every morning
and returns at night on Conductor
Dyas’ train. Wednesday morn-
ing Bill sat in the seat with Jesse
Fillow, to whom he was giving a
graphic description of the Branchville
lumber yard fire of the night before,
when the train reached Norwalk. He
was so deeply engrossed in his narra-
tive that he neither heard nor heeded
the brakeman’s stentorian shout of
“Norwalk !” nor observed some of his
fellow workmen alighting from the
train, and he was only brought to a
realizing sense of the situation when,
just after the train had started, Cou-
ductor Dyas came into the car, and,
with a long and solemn face, interrupt-
ed the fire story and demanded a tick—
et for South Norwalk. This brought
Bill to his senses and he glanc ed out of
the window just as the train was pass-
ing the stone yard where he is employ-
ed. He jumped hurriedly out of his
seat and made for the door, but, real-
izing the suicidal folly of attempting to
jump off while the train was under full
headway, he rushed frantically back
to the conductor and appealed to him
to stop the train and let him off, as
Bates would be as mad as a wet hen if
he wasn’t there on time. The conduct-
or only replied “ticket or fare, please,”
but Bill told him to go to a land that is
warmer than this, while he turned his
attention to Fillow, whom he accused
of having purposely kept him engaged
in describing the fire, in order to get
him carried by. Bill went through to
South Norwalk and returned on the
first horse car. He vows, however,
that he’ll never pay the extra fare for
which Dyas duns”him every time he
gets aboard the train. '

The Consolidated railroad is continu—
ing its purchase of large quantities of
land on either side of its tracks, be-
tween the East Norwalk and Sauga-
tuck stations. This land is to be used
for side tracking, storing and making
up of the miles upon miles of freight
cars and trains. now so largely cover-
ing all the main and side tracks of the
entire line of that road. Miles of track
will spread over these newly acquired
acres between East Norwalk and Sau-
gatuck, and the locality will be made
the great central storage depot of the
freight and cars and trains of the Con—
solidated railroad system. As it has
been practically decided on by that
road, to pass through South Norwalk
upon an iron viaduct raised sufficiently
high above grade to allow teams to
pass under the tracks at Main and
\Vashington streets, this newly deter-
mined upon method, as well as want of
room, will necessitate the location of
the principal freight, as well as express
passenger depots at East Norwalk, and
goods and merchandize will have to be
carted from there, to and from South
Norwalk, as well as from the borough.
The future increased growth and pros-
perity of East Norwalk, is thus posi-
tively assured, and why with such
bright prospects, any considerate num-
ber of its property holders should de
sire annexation to South Norwalk, or
all Norwalk either for that matter,
passes our comprehension. If any
change at all, is to be made in our
town’s municipal government it ought

to be the one large and important city,

of Norwalk. Otherwise it were far
better for all to let things‘remain as
they are, at least for the present.

1W1 RE ALARRI SUPERINTE‘NDENT.

There is considerable unauthorized
and unwarranted talk on the streets,
and especially among firemen, concern-
ing the “deadlock” in the borough
board on the matter of appointing a
superintendent of the fire alarm sys-
tem. It has been reported that if the
court attempts to force Chief Prowitt
to appoint Charles Riley, he will resign
the office of Chief. On the other hand
it has been stated that Chief Prowitt
will disregard the recommendation of
the court to appoint Mr. Riley and will
again send in the name of Mr. John
H. Hoyt, and will continue to makethe
same nomination as often as the court
refuses to confirm it. All such asser-
tions are simply random speculations
on the part of an uninformed public.
Chief Prowitt informs the GAZETTE
that he has not yet received an official
notification of the court’s action, and
until he does he will formulate no plans
for his next steps. He says, however,
that the speculation as to his resigning
is all bosh; that he was unanimously
elected Chief Engineer by the fire de-
partment, and he shall stand by the
fire department in that capacity, just
as long as they desire it. The rejec-
tion of his nominee by the borough
court will have no influence in induc-
ing him to resign.

He considers that Mr. Hoyt is per-
fectly capable of keeping the fire alarm
in order, and has done so as well as
anybody could have done. There have
been instances here, as everywhere
else, when some unavoidable disar-
rangement of the machinery interfered
with the correct working of the system
in some places. This is inevitable where
two different mechanisms of boxes are
joined in one system, as has been the
experience wherever such a combina-
tion has been used. There have been
difficulties experienced on our system
which the Chief considered serious
enough to warrant the employment of
the most expert electricians to be
found, for their remedy. Such experts
have hunted the system all over and
been, unable to find the source of
trouble. Subsequently it was located
by Mr. Hoyt, andetfectively remedied.

Mr. Prowitt has never questioned
the ability of Mr. Riley, as an electri—
cian. On the contrary, he places a
high estimate upon his capability, and
he would willingly have appointed him
superintendent at the first if the court
had signified at the beginning, their
preference for him. They hada month
in which to make their choice known
to the Chief, before any appointment
was sent in, and to their failure to make
such recommendation may be ascribed
the present condition of affairs. The
Chief, having made his appointment in
the absence of any indication of a pre-
ference on the part of the burgesses,
might naturally be expected to feel
like fighting when that appointment is
rejected and a tardy recommendation
is made. '

In the meantime nobody but the
Chief knows just what he will do when
he receives official notification of the
rejection of his appointment, and street
talk, one way or the other, is mere idle,
speculative gossip.

DL‘LIG IIYI'IJ‘UL RECEPTIONS.

A most delightful and enjoyable oc-
casion was the tea given by Mrs. Chas.
Dennis, at the residence of Mrs. George
R. Cholwell, on High street, yesterday
afternoon from four to six, and from
eight to ten last evening. The house
was beautifully decorated with choice
flowers while above the hum of voices
was heard the sound of music which
greeted the ear at intervals, charming
all who listened. Mrs. Dennis, Mrs.
Cholwell, Sr., and Mrs. Henry P. Price
graciously received the many guests,
who were constantly arriving, and the
beautifully appointed table, spread with
all manner of tempting things, was a
delight to the eye as well as to the
palate. The table was presided over by
Mrs. George R. Cholwell, Jr., Miss
Clem Cholwell and Mrs. C. B. Coolidge,
assisted by Miss Mabel Miller, _Miss
Sarah Woodward and Miss Alice Chol-
well. The whole affair was “a thing of
beauty and a joy forever,” and will
long be remembered with feelings of
delight by the worthy representatives
of the best homes and families of Nor—
walk.

Charged Witthap'e!

A Negro on Trial for Assaulting a
Young Girl on the Rocks Road-

 

The courtroom was well filled at 10
o’clock this forenoon, with spectators
eager to hear the particulars in the case
of Richard Whittlesey, J r., a colored
boy of 17, charged with assault and
attempt at rape upon Miss Julia Poyvez.
aged 17, living on the Rocks road.
His Honor, Judge Coolidge came in
late, Attorney Lockwood wiped some
of the dust off one corner of the law-
yers’ table, Constable Morehouse re-
moved Eddie Thomas’ hat and the
court opened.

Miss Poyvez testified in a straight-
forward manner, that on her way home
at about 6 o’clock last night she was
overtaken by Whittlesey near the Union
school, who walked along with her un-
til they were near Clausen’s barn, when
he walked closer to her than she liked,
and asked her to get over the fence into
the adjoining lot. She declined and
attempted to run away from him,
whereupon he grabbed her by the arm
and clothes and tried to pull her over.
She wrenched herself free with an
effort and ran back. He chased her a
short distance, but finally turned and
went away. The boy’s father cross ex-
amined the witness and elicited the in-
formation that his son did not tear her
underclothing nor try to take off her
garters.

Mrs. PoyveZ, the girl’s mother testi-
fied that the girl came home weeping
and said Dick had been chasing her
again.

Dick \Vhittlcsey, the prisoner, test
fied that he was in Buckingham Lock
wood’s barn helping his brother from 2 .
till 7:30 p. m. yesterday; was positive
about the time because he looked at the
clock; (lid not leave the barn for a min-
ute during that time. Questioned by
Judge Coolidge, he admitted that he
left the barn at about 5 o’clock and
went to Mrs. Theodore. Smith’s barn
to take care of the horse, as is his cus-
tom; didn’t mean what he said when he
testified that he hadn’t left the Lock-
wood barn from 2 to 7:30; went right
back to the Lockwood barn and wasn’t
absent over ten minutes.

Buckingham Lockwood testified that
Dick was in the barn at 2.30, at which
time witness went out for a drive. On
his return at 6.20 Dick was still there.

William \Vhittlesey, brother of the
prisoner, testified that Dick was with
him at the Lockwood barn from 2 till
7.30, excepting ten minutes at about 5
o’clock, Was sure about the time be-
cause he “looked at the clock.”

At noon court adjourned till 9 o’clock
to-morrow , to allow state to procure
witnesses to prove Dick was down town
between 2 ml 7.30.

Thompsonville, Feb. 6.-—About three
weeks ago F. B. Case Jr., agent for
the New York Mutual Savings and
Loan Association, started a branch
here. Prominent business men sub-
scribed for shares. Articles having ap-
peared in the New York papers purport-
ing to expose it as a fraud, one mer-
chant has forbidden the local treasurer,
Willis Gody, to forward the money
already collected, to the central office
of the company and the money at pres-
ent is in Mr. Gowdy’s hands, pending
