Andrew Lattin, a cigarmaker living
at N o. 3 Railroad Place, has removed
to Bridgeport.
The Junior Prohibition club have de-
cided to hold another entertainment
next Monday evening at Dibble’s Hall.
There was a “run in” on the depot

spilled, and the hatchet is buried.

Past Commander F. Arnold of Doug-
las Fowler Post, has been appointed
one of the members 011 the staff of De-
partment Commander Fanton.
The firm of Br own 1\' Hodges, build-
er s,ahav e finished Charles Yost’s new
house on South Third street, and Mr.
Yost will soon occupy it.

James Nash’s yacht "Mabel” has had
her stern remodeled, and while adding
to her beauty the improvement will in
no wise lessen her speed.
Chas. Bertram has disposed of five
Scotch collie pups at flattering prices,
owing to the fact that their mother’s
great-great-grandfather was owned by
Robert Burns.
J. M. Ellendorf of Douglas Fowler
Post, G. A. R.. has been appointed by
Department Commander Fanton as one
of the three committeemen constituting
the Department Board for drafting
Resolutions.
The old unsightly Wooden awning in
front of the store lately vacated by IV.
Ayres on North Main street has been
removed, and the store will be thor-
oughly renovated (which it greatly
needs) and refitted for new tenants.
Complaint is made that a Suoth Nor-
walk young man who wears spectacles
and frequently visits East Norwalk,
makes it a point to always drive his
team 011 the sidewalk near the residence
of Geo. IV. Cram. if not at the risk of
the lives of pedestrians, certainly to
their discomfort
Justice Charles T011 iisend, who was
the ill st to “don the ermine” “under
the new deal,” has shown by his decis-
ions in the two cases before him yes-
terday, that he is thoroughly qualified
for the office, and it is believed that he
will be {he trying Justice. He is we
understand, the first democratic trying
Justice to sit in this city.
Mr. Chas. C. Stephens the builder
and contractor, has sold out his busi—
ness to Mr. A. Bach, of Greenwich.
Mr. Bach is the builder of the Shore
road, a piece of work that surely is a
credit to the builder. Mr. Stevens has
perhaps done some of the finest stone
work in town, among the last of his
work being the stone bridge at the low'
or end of Water street. Mr. Stevens’
friends hope that a relief from business
cares will prove beneficial to his health
which of late has been very poor. Mr.
Bach will no doubt prove himself to be
worthy of Mr. Stevens’ well earned pa-
tronage.
James Smith, a young man, who re~
sides on the Ely Neck road, had a nar-
row escape from death, Saturday. He
is an oys'terman, and on the day men-
tioned was homeward bound in his skiff
with 26 bushels of oysters therein, and
when off Keyser’s Island, a sudden
squall capsized his craft and he was un-
ceremoniously dumped into the icyand
briny deep. He managed to keep on
the surface a while, meantime shouting
for help, and finally succeeded in at-
tracting the notice of the inmates of
the Priests’ Home on the island. one of
whom rowed off to the spot and res-
cued him just in the nick bf time. He
was taken to the Home in a nearly froz-
en condition, but the geod Fathers ap-
plied heroic treatment, and Jimmy was
soon restored to his normal status. The
skiff and oysters were lost, but Jimmy
was able to say, considering that he had
saved “his bacon,” “good bi, valve,
.- you’re all. right.” .
The regular meeting of the Council
was held last evening, his Honor, M ay—

efforts to talk a man over on the
side of J efi'ersonian simplicity, haxe
the effect or leave a broader impression
than did William L. himself on the
glassy surface of Silver Lake yester-
day morning in essaying to test the
texture of the new ice. This will em-
phasize the moral that even sinners
cannot stand on slippery places. ,

A Strong Statement.
N0 clearer statement of the actual
conditions and of the real character of
the action of Gov. Hill of New York in
refusing the requisition asked for by
Gov. Bulkeley, has been made than
this editorial in the New York Herald.
It puts the case strongly and squarely
and its conclusions will be endorsed by
the fair-minded men of all parties.
The rendition of fugitives from jus-
tice is a duty imposed upon the execu-
tive of every state by the constitution
and laws of the United States as well
as by the statutes of the States them-
selves.
What would laws for the punishment
of crime amount to, what protection
would there be for life and property,
if criminals had but to cross a state
line to find immunity from arrest ?
In this case Gov. Hill did not deny
that a burglary has been committed in
Connecticut or that the burglar was a
fugitive in this state. He did not dis-
puts the justice of the demand 01'
question the regularity of the papers,
except on the score of the executive
signature. He based his refusal on his
own simple assertion that the requisi-
tion was not signed by the Governor
of Connecticut.
That assertion is notoriously contra-
ry both to fact and law. Morgan G.
Bulkeley is to-day as clearly Governor
of Connecticut as David B. Hill is the
Governor of New York. He holds his
office by a right and title equally good—
namely, the constitution and laws of
the Commonwealth of Connecticut. ‘
He is in possession of the office. He
is exercising its functions. Nor is he,
as Hill recklessly says, a usurper. He
is holding the office and performing its
duties in obedience to the constitution
of Connecticut, which declares him to
be the Governor “until his successor
be duly qualified.”
Now it is a matter of common noto-
riety that his successor has not been
duly qualified. It is not to the pur-
pose to say that Morris is entitled to
the office. The fact remains that he
has not been declared Governor, duly
qualified and inducted into the office
as the constitution requires. And until
his successor shall be duly qualified
and installed in office, Bulkeley will
continue to be the de facto and lawful
Executive of the State, and must be
recognized as such, not only in Con-
necticut, but in every state of the
Union. ' , .
It is simply scandalous that on a pre-
text so unwarranted the Chief Magis-
trate of the greatest state in the Union
should offer a safe asylum to every
unjailed felon and cutthroat in a sister
commonwealth.
