Mr. Selleck, af- ter the full Easter morning service at St. Paul’s, rode to Lewisboro, N. Y., and held a Sunday School festival in St. Paul’s chapel, which was followed by the Mission’s Easter Service, with the administration of the two Sacra- ments. He then performed the mar- riage service on Smith Ridge, and im- mediately after returned to St. Paul’s, N orwalk, to conduct the Five o’clock Sunday School Easter festival. After ’ which, he hastened to Christ Church, Westport, where he read Evening Prayer. and preached, returning back to St. Paul’s in time to make the offer- tory and close the night’s service. An amount of labor rarely equaled. At the closing service in Lent, «on rector of St. Paul’s dedicated a hand- some baptismal bowl, _to ‘the memory of the late Judge Smith and wife. The bowl is of the Gorham Company’s man- ufacture and was presented by the el- dest daughter of the late Stephen and Polly Smith. Mrs. James E.

The Smith Street Layout and Mill Hill Cutting to be Considered Together. The Court of Burgesses was called to order at 7.50 last evening by Warden Keeler. Present: BurgessesBowe,Bu‘x-‘ ton, O’Reilly, Vanderhoef, Burr and Kent. There was also a fair represen- tation of the unofficial element, includ- ing E. J. Hill, Asa Smith and' Burr Smith. E. J. Hill presented a petition of 211 citizens of Norwalk for the grading of .Miliiaill, which ire thoughtfihould be- considered In connection with the wid- ening of Smith street. He also said that President _ Clark of the Consoli- dated "road, told him recently that the freighting business. of Norwalk would have to’ be done hereafter at East Nor- walk. It was the determination of the railroad company, Mr. Hill said, to give the town of Norwalk the best freight- ing facilities possible. “There IS a population of 2, 400 In East Norwalk and they must trade some- where, ” continued Mr. Hill, “ and I would like to have them give thattrade to this borough. The Tramway com- pany is not dir ectly interested in the desired cutting down of Mill hill. It is for the best interests of the borough of Norwalk that Mill hill should be graded. I don’t believe we want any division of this town. Mill hill is sure to be' cut down, if not by this board, then by some other. The sooner this work is done, the more economically it can be dene, so far as the damage to property is cencerned. ” Warden Keeler suggested that, as the matter referred to by Mr. Hill was.not contained 1n the‘call, its consideration should be deferred to some future meet- ing: - On motion of Burgess Buxton, as it seemed advisable to consider the sub- ject of widening Smith street and cut- ting down Mill hill at one and the same time, it was decided to defer action on the question of the Smith street layout until a future meeting. Prior to adjournment, at the sugges- tion of Burgess Bowe, \Varden Keeler invited any gentlemen present to ex- press their views respecting the Smith street layout. This was taken advantage of by Mr. Asa Smith and others, ‘ Engineer Wood aiding materially in throwing light up- on the question. Opinion seemed to be unanimous re- specting the necessity, not expediency, of considering the Mill hill cutting- down and the Smith street widening at the same . time, and the judgment of nearly everybody present was that the dual proposition must be favorably con— sidered at the earliest practicable mo- ment, if the well-being of a united Nor- walk were considered. During the interchange of opinion, a map of the proposed Smith. street lay- out was spread upon the table which aided greatly in enabling those who ex- amined it to have a clear understand- ing respecting the proposed changes. Mr. Hill suggested that Engineer Wood be requested to prepare a plan, estimate of cost, etc., of the contem- plated joint improvement. On motion of Burgess Kent, Engin- eer Wood was instructed to prepare such a plan and submit the same at a future meeting of the borough board. A communication was read from Mr. Frank S. Roberts respecting his curb and gutter, No. 119 East avenue, which had been declared too low. Engineer \Vood explained that he had never given Mr. Roberts the proper grade for the work in front of his prop- erty, and that the curb had been set contrary to his suggestions. The north end of the curb stands about six inches out in the street. Burgess Buxton said that we had a borough surveyor to whom property- owners should apply in cases of this character. Under the circumstances he believed that the property should pay the expense of the necessary alter- Unanimous consent having been given, Burgess Buxton moved that the clerk instruct Mr. Roberts to put his curb where it belongs. At the suggestion of Warden Keeler, the matter was referred to the highway committee. Burgess Kent presented a petition for an electric light, but it was not read, and went over to the next meeting. Warden Keeler then declared the ‘court adjourned until next Monday evening. -—<+>———— —— Chief De Forest received a telegram this morning from Chief Ryland of Bridgeport, respecting a horse hired of George F.

April 1.—Thc greatglove contest between George Dixon of Bos-V ton and Cal McCarthy of Jersey City for a purse of $4,000 and the feather weight championship of the world, Was won by Dixon, who knocked his .rival out in the twenty-second round.- The fight tuck place 'under the aus- pices of the Crib Club, in this city, last night, and attracted almost as .large a crowd as that which witnessed Fitzsim- mons wear down‘to defeat the once in- vincible Jack Dempsey. The men had met and fought to a draw once before. and the battle last night was decisive. The contest was of the whirlwind order so far as Dixon was concerned. He administered terrific punishment, rushing the J erseyman about in a mer- ciless manner. It was the same old story of a boxer meeting a fighter and the fighter won. McCaI thy was game and had plenty of science, but he lacked the vicious— ness that marked his rival and which made him successful. -.OO WASHINGTON CHAT. . Much excitement was caused yest’er'-'~ day by the recall of the Italian Minis- ter, Baron Fava, in rebuke for this government’s inaction as to the New Orleans massacre of Italians. The hope is expressed that many of the Baron’s countrymen in this country . may also be recalled. Another charge is made against P011- sion Commissioner Raum that he is in one of the many “real estate pools” in this city. Ex-Representative Carter of Monta- na has been appointed Commissioner of the General Land Office, so another of the Grand Army of “left over Congr css- men” is provided for. Senator Sherman has placed himself in the hands of his Ohio friends, and when he assumes that position he is a good man fOI his political Opponents to watch, Miss Grace, a daughter of Chief J us tice Fuller was married here yesterday to a Mr. Archibald Lapham Brown.

Mrs. Mitchell was esteemed as one of the most beautiful and accomplished ladies in Congressional society when her hus- band was a popular member of the House. Senator Power of 'Montana, in speak— ing of the narrow escape from defeat thebeneficent COpy—right law ' had 011 the closing night of Congress, paid this glowing tribute to Senator Platt who “ engineered” its’passagc: “ The Copy- right bill would never have become a law but for the marvelous personal pow- er, parliamentary skill, good sense and "earnest adVOcacy' of Senator O. H. Platt of Connecticut. He- is a wonder- ful man to steer legislation, and the manner in which he carried the Copy- right bill by rocks and shoals won the admiration of all his colleagues.” This is a compliment to our Senator as true and well deserved as it is laudatory. The Yale Glee Club, great favorites here, have just given one of their first- class concerts here. The Marine Band have started out on a short tour and will give one of their superb concerts at Bridgeport. Senator Platt, who has been at his home In Meriden for a few days returns here at the end of the present week. It seems to have escaped attention that the last post office appropriation bill in its last section, restores the franking privilege to members of Con- gress in their correspondence with the departments. It Is in section 3 and reads as follows: “ That the members and members-elect of Congress, shall have the privilege of sending free through the mails, and under their fra" 'l to any officer of the Goverlmiwtzwhcn addressed officially.” ' (3 11.13.
