Town Clerk Watson, of Bridgeport, laughed when asked the reason why he did not send Fast Day proclamations to the different clergymen to be read last Sunday. He said he had simply be- come confused as to dates, and imag- ined Fast Day came next week. The Governorship muddle had nothing to do with the omission. Four attempts at incendiarism in ten- ement houses in New York, one of a particularly atrocious nature, in which the inside knobs of the doors had been removed to prevent the escape of the tenants, were reported yesterday to the police.

A little boy tot, about the size and shape of a field pumpkin, was picked up astray on Belden avenue last even- ing just at dusk. He could neither give his name nor tell where he lived.

All that was mortal of the great actor passed through our town yesterday on its way to burial at Cohasset. That endless sleep which he so often simulated upon the mimic stage will now know no waking with the ringing down of the curtain. But the laurel wreath of a well spent life, like that which was wont to be placed upon his brow as the heroic Cassius, has been twined, though invisibly, around the marble forehead, garnished with loving tributes from family, friends and the great world, whose honest servant'and teacher he was until the end. 3 Next to the bereaved widow none felt the sudden, stunning blow of his untimely death. so keenly as his brother artist and companion in historic fame, Edwin Booth.

It 1s hoped that the chairman of the highway committee will faithfully car- ry out the instructions of the Court of Burgesses, and clear the sidewalks of all obstructions, of every name and na— ture. Captain Bose informs the GAZETTE that the settees, heretofore in the bal- cony at the Armory, have been removed, being owned by private parties, which may inconvenience the public until new ones, purchased with a portion of the State appropriation, can be put in. Ex-Senator Hill will have to be dis- ciplined. We met him early yesterday with blood in his eye and that nervous tension about the muscles of his mouth that shows an inward feeling that “all is not safe,” and we asked if he was go- ing out of town and particularly to Hartford. He assured us he was not and yet he hurried off a few minutes later to Albany to get the Spring styles of lumber and to see if he could satisfy himself whether that Watterson Letter was actually in the pocket of Governor David Bennett or his cousin, David Barlow Hill, also known as Gov. David B. Hill, at Albany. . The great event of this week, from an amusement point of view, and one of the events of the Season, is the en- 3 gagem’ent Of the Kendals at Bunnell’s Bridgeport Theatre, March 27, in the Drama of The Queen’s Shilling. The general approval accorded by the American public last season to Mr. and Mrs. Kendal on their first visit to the United States, and the hearty and quick recognition which rewarded the artistic efforts of these conscientious players, prompted them to make a second visit to our shores, again under the direction of Mr. DanielFrohman. Their engagement is to be inaugurat- ed with a play long identified with them—that of “The Queen’s Shilling,” a drama written especially for Mr. and Mrs. Kendal by Mr. A. W. Pinero, and originally produced by them at the St. James’ Theatre, London. Their representations Of the modern drama have been regarded as’dramatic : among them, was in the bank, it could exhibitions of the highest Order. Their acting furnishes a most satisfactory ex- ample of what may be expected from the stage in its best estate. It is the finished results of fine natural aptitude developed by years of conscientious study and ar duous practice. It abounds in intellect, in vitality, in 3gr ace, in hu- mor and in pathos, and is so natural that the keenest observer fails to dis- earn the device by which the illusion is effected. in. W. H.

The special meeting of the Court of Burgesses'was called to order by War- den Keeler at 7:45 last evening. Pres- ent Burgesses, Buxton, Vanderhoef, Kent, Burr, Boweand O’Reilly. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The call for the special meeting was read by Borough Clerk Warner for lthe reaSons stated in yesterday’s GA- ZETTE. i War den Keeler remarked that Clerk -Warner was Of 4the opinion that busi- ness Other than that named in the call could be transacted by unanimous con— gress—one on the" part of the Grand 3sent Of the Court On motion the resignation of A. J. Meeker, as a member Of the board of relief, was accepted. i, - Burgess Kent named Alfred E. Aus- tin for the vacancy and a ballot showed that he was the unanimous choice of the Court His electlon 'was declared by Warden Keeler. ,. The question 0,, . uthorizing the chairman of the finance committee to borrow $5,000 fer the New Canaan mains was then considered. Unanimous consent having been ob- tained the bill of the Assessors of $300 for services render ed was order ed paid. Warden Keeler read a 1"emonst1ance ~__of Messr.s Arnold, Lockwood and oth- ers against permitting obstructions up- on the business' streets of the borough, referring to the display of goods, etc., in such a manner ashto annoy pedestri- ans. On motie’ii the subject was re- ferred to the chairman of the highway committee with power. On motion of Burgess Bowe thechair- Lman of the finance committee was an: thorized to borrow $5 000 on the ’01 edit of the borough for the use of the Water Commissioners. ' Burgess Bowe called attention to the desire of the reSidents of Cedar street for sewerage in order that the Bur- gesses could visit that locallty and be . prepareddo. voteemtellwentl-yswhen the .. time f01 action arrived. Burgess Bowe also called attention to a dangerous excavation on the Tyn- dall estate, which was a constant men- ace to travel. On motion the Chair- man of the highway committee was in- structed to look after the matter. Burgess Vanderhoef brought up War- den Keeler’s veto Of the fire alarm Su- perintendent amendment to the bor- ough by-laws, and the same was sus- tained by a vote of five ayes to one no, the latter being Burgess Bowe. Burgess Vanderhoef suggested that when the Court adjourn adjournment be had to Monday evening, March 30 at 7:30. The same prevailed by a unan- imous vote, it being understood that the Smith street matter will be the or- der Of the occasion. On motion the legal notice to prop- erty owners interested in the matter was ordered published twice in the Nor- walk DAILY GAZETTE. Respecting the fire alarm telegraph system Burgess Buxton read a commu- nication from Mr. Stevens in refutation of the statements of the Gamewell rep- resentative as published in the DAILY GAZETTE. At this juncture Engineer Wood was heard at length respecting the contem- plated widening etc., of Smith street. Clerk Warner suggested that as both the Clerk and Assistant had engage- ments for next Monday evening, the motion to adjourn to that evening he re-considered and Tuesday evening was named. Senator Seymour hoped the Warden would appoint appraisers upon the East Avenue damages, as the time seemed to have arrived for such action. Warden Keeler promised to attend to the matter at once. On motion 'of Burgess journment was taken. +>—-——— THE WALKING MATCH FlZZLE. Local sports will be of one mind in believing that if ever men had reason to feel thatsome spirit of hoodoo hov- ered about them they are the weary peds who finished in the recent walking match fiasco at - the Madison Square Garden. All through last week they had tramped under most discouraging circumstances and with only the hope of receiving their share Of the gate re- ceipts. The latter was to have been given them yesterday at the office of the Illustrated News. But disappoint- ment again met them. Though $8, 224, which will be divided Buxton ad- not be drawn without the presence of the three trustees, and those gentlemen failed to make connections.

It is unutter- ably small.—[Ansonia Sentinel. O. First M. E. Church.' The members of this venerable church after deliberately considering the ad- visability of erecting a new. and more pretentious church edifice, have finally come to the conclusion that it will be wiser, for the present at least, to con- tinue to worship in the old church. A thoroughrenovation, redecoration, etc. of the interior of the edifice, has been agreed upon and when finished, the church will be at least comfortable and reasonably attractive to the worshipers If not ahead of the processionin the way of grotesque and uniquely ornate church structures, this church is at the top of the column in the quality and perfection of its choir music. It is freely conceded that no other Norwalk church equals it 1n this particular. -._ - I,,,_#__ INSANE. Oflicer Adams was sent for to go up to Camp street and secure an insane man named Jones, who was furiously threatening to kill the family, and the whole neighborhood were in an intense state of excitqment over his ravings. The father of the young man said he had been in an insane asylum for twen- ty years and he had but recently been discharged as cured. He promised to take him back in the morning and begged Officer Adams not to have him removed. It is greatly feared, how- ever, that he will do his family some serious harm in the paroxysms of his insane fury. He gave up an iron poker he had to Oflicer Adams and promised to be quiet if he was left in his father’s care. P.
