Sunday night and also Monday night,

down, the Electric Light company at
once had the Gas company’s dynamos

plied South Norwalk with its lights for

The Horse Railway Co. Will Im-
prove West Avenue.
Augment its. Ovim Dividends, and
Better Accommodate the Public.
The highway committee of the bor-
dugh is expected to lower and make
uniform the grade of West avenue from
_ the residence of Dr..Baldwin down to
St. Mary’s church, prior to its being
macadamized. President J W Hyatt
of the Horse Railway 00. proposes to
promptly take advantage of this grati-
fying fact and not only lower his tracks
as he will be compelled to do, but, also-
to extend his present switch, near St.
Mary’s church, up to the foot of the
Isaacs hill where the cut-down is to
commence. Even this slight extension
of the upper switch will prove of very
great convenience to the public, inas-
much as it will enable the horse cars to
remain from two to four minutes long-
er at South Norwalk awaiting belated
trains. It would seem, to outsiders, the
part of wisdom, and Of still greater
public advantage, if the borough were
to order this switch extended hither-
ward to the Danbury R.R. trackbridge.
.But the one essential fact is undisput-
ed that our street railway can never ful-
fill the whole public requirements of it,’
until its three switches are turned into
one continuous double track from the
Norwalk hotel to Crofut & Knapp’s hat
shop at South Norwalk.
Mr. A. J. Hutchinson is homeward
bound from Florida to lower and re-lay
the track from the Catholic church to
Dr. Baldwin’s.

Looks Queer.
While Monday night’s express from
Boston for New York was passing the
Cooper street crossing in Meriden, a
passenger whose name could not be
learned, left his seat, took the key
hanging'on the door and turned off the
lights in the smoking car. In an in-
stant a bullet came crashing through a
window Of the smoker and grazed the
head of Alexander Leitch, a buyer for
the house of Smith 485 Murray, of
Springfield. Several other passengers
had a narrow escape from the bullet.
The conductor immediately made an
investigation, but the man said the
turning off Of the lights was a mistake.
The conductor would neither stop the
train for a search for the person who
fired the shot, nor hold the man who
darkened the car.

14th Reg’t Reunion.
The association of the Fourteenth
regiment will hold its next reunion on
the battlefield of Antietam, September
17, and full and complete arrangements
for the comfort of the veterans, their
wives and all friends who desire to visit
the battlefields with them, will bemade;
the entire cost from, Jersey City and
return, including hotels, railroad fares,
carriages, etc., will not exceed $25.
Colonel John C. Broatch, of Middle-
town, and Captain J. W. Knowlton, of
Bridgeport, are the committee of ar-
rangements. The trip will cover about
two days at Gettysburg, the same at
Antietam, half a day at Harper’s Ferry
and a trip to Washington and Fred-
ericksburg.
NO more desirable trip, and at such a
season of the year, could be devised,
and the engagements in which this
fighting regiment took part will be ful-
ly explained by the able chaplain, H.
S. Stevens, of Washington, who is
thoroughly familiar with 'every detail.
Oriental Bottling Works”
Yesterday 8. DAILY GAZETTE repre-
sentative visited the Oriental Bottling
works, No.13 Wall street, the latest
addition to the numerous and varied
business enterprises of Norwalk, and
was shownabout the establishment by
W. P. Hanlon, proprietor, and Jacob
Herrman, manager.
The Oriental Bottling company,
which has had a habitation and a name
only a. little over a fortnight, makes a
'specialty of putting up, mainly for fam-
ily consumption, the Monopole lager Of
the Hoffman Brewing CO., and is
already doing a thriving business, and
giving general satisfaction at popular
prices. In order that an Idea may
be gained of the business already done
at this place, it need only be said that
last week fifty halves and seventy-five
quarters were disposed of. The huge'
ice box has ancapacity of 3,100 pounds
Of ice, with 150 halves and seventy-five
quarters as company. Three teams are.
kept busy from morning till night in
the work of. delivery, the territory
served Includmg Westport, South N or-
walk, Sau atuck, Darien and. New
Canaan. ne of the delivery wagons,
recently referred to in the GAZETTE, is
undoubtedly the handsomest one in
Norwalk and attracts general attention
to’ the busm'ess of its enterprising
owner. It is understood that in the-
near future the industry Of bottling
ale, lager and porter (the latter-equal
.toany Imported gOo s) will be added
to the present business, which bids fair
to be, even more prosperous than its
founders dared hope for. '
THE MlllHEIS HEARING.
The Court of Inquiry Convenes at
the Armory.
The Target/Case Opened.
The Court of Inquiry consisting of
Major W. F. Bidwell, Capt. George 0.
McLean and Lent. Theodore McDon-
ald met at 12 at the Armory to investi-
gate the charges made against Lieut.
Matheis by B. W. Maples for- target
falsification.
Owing to the absence of J. Belden
Hurlbutt, his counsel, Lieut. Matheis
presented the following letter to the
Court:
To The IIonorablc Court of flint: in
the matfer of charges against If"‘?:i'j/
AIM/Lois.
MAJOR W. F. BIDWELL,
President Of the Court. _
GENTLEMENz—I have been employed
by Lieutenant Matheis to defend him
in the investigation of certain charges
preferred in some public printing, and
addressed to your President aletter on
Saturday last as follows:
MY DEAR SIRz—I have been retained
by Mr. Matheis, I suppose you military
men would call him “lieutenant” in-
stead Of “_Mr.,”but as I am unused to
mIIItariv titles, or military law, I hope
you Wl’l excuse whatever I say or do,
that Is In any way in conflict with mili-
tary rules or law.
I have not had the opportunity to
learn from Mr. Matheis the military et-
Iquette required in addressing you, so
wrlte as I am accustomed to write an
ordinary and legal business matter.
I see that the Court is to be convened
on the. 15th, but it does not state at
what tIme, and as I am engaged in the
Superior Court until 5 o’clock in the
afternoon. I wish that the hour Of meet-
Ing mlght be fixed at that time. It will
be a matter of great accommodation to
me, and I think to a large number of ‘
Witnesses, laboring men, whom Mr.
Matheis would like to present to the
Court. I do not know exactly what he
1s charged with, whether it is simply
the charges made in the N orwalk Hour,
or charges made in any other paper.
If It Is any other paper, I have no
knowledge of what the charge is, nor
do I know of any charge except the one
by Mr. Latson. I have had no time to
examine the question, but had a talk
w1th Mr. Matheis about the facts, and
am quite satisfied that he can establish
hIs . entire innocence of the charge
agamst him in the Hour.
I would like to know, if it is consist-
ent w1th military rules, what other of-
fense recharged, if any. I asked Mr.
Matheis if he had been served with a
copy of the charges and specifications,
and he said he had not. I supposed
that that was usual in any case. I bor-
rowed tO read the regulations of the
N ational Guard, and found in para-
graph 1842 “that the accusation of com-
plaint 18 then read,” which would im-
ply there was some specific allegation
agalnst him, which I suppose he is en-
titled to have served upon him. How—
ever, Mr. Matheis does not make any
claim in that respect, except to know
in a general way what he is charged
with, so as to be enabled to introduce
evidence relating to the charge.
'I do not know whether you have any
authority in the premises tO determine
when you meet, but assume as the or:
der is worded, that you have, for I see
that you are directed to meet on the
15th inst, or as soon thereafter as prac-
tlcable, which must leave you to de-
termine the hour, unless some military
rule prescribes the hour of the meeting,
and the length Of time you will con-
tinue in session.
Have the kindness to inform me if
you can accommodate me to meet at 5
o’clock, or a few minutes thereafter, on
the 15th, or if you desire, fix a later
time, when I hope my court engage-
ments will permit me to be present and
assist the court in arriving at a fair con-
clusion by the presentation of all the
evidence, touching the charges made
against Mr. Matheis. He asks but a
full investigation with a fair opportuni-
ty to present his own evidence, as well
as to sift the evidence against him, and
this he knows and feels that the Court
presided over by you, he will have.
An early reply will greatly oblige,
J. BELDEN HURLBUTT.
Which I assume he has not received
as I have no reply.
I would now ask in Mr. Matheis’ behalf,
that the hearing be adjourned to some
future time, either on Monday or Sat-
urday, if possible, or some evening, or
at 5:20 today. He has witnesses whom
he wants, who have notbeen summoned,
who know all t he facts about the mark-
ing, and if this court desires the facts
simply, which I have no reason to
doubt it does, it will want this evidence
to.
I think I can furnish such evidence as
will satisfy the court that Mr. Matheis
is not only not guilty, but is attacked
for ulterior purposes, not for the good
of the company or service, but personal
advancement in military lines. '
Mr. Matheis’ character being attacked
he ought to have the fullest opportumty
for vmdication. I am Informed that
Captain Rose, last night at drill, re-
quested these who were at the shooting
last October to come tO-day. He knows,
or ought to know, that many of them
were not at drill last nIght, and that the
notice is too short for most Of them to
arrange with their employers to get
away.
I desire to show further what seems
to me tO be a conspiracy and that these
charges “made in publlc prlnt” .were
refused by one paper when 'furmshed
it by Mr. Latson and quaSI Indorsed by
an Officer of this company.
Respectfully yours,
_ J. BELDEN HURLBUTT.
The Court then adjourned and are
expected to convene again In compli-
ance with the request Of Mr. Hurlbutt.

This morning Officer Adams was sent
for to arrest a young man who was
found secreted inside the organ at the
Baptist church. He proved to be a
nephew of Orrin K. Scofield, who had
been seriously ill with la grippe and in
an unsound condition of mind had wan-

Praiseworthy Courtesy.
On the occasion Of the burning of
the Electric Light Co.’s station, Mr.
E. J. Hill, representing the Norwalk
Gas company’s electric light depart-
ment, at once called upon President
Olmstead and tendered the full use Of
his company’s electrical equipment.
This most creditable courtesy was
promptly accepted and the Electric
Light CO.’s workmen immediately set
to work to make the necessary wire
connections, and as a result the street
lights were going as usual Sunday
night. By an over-strain of the gas
company’s machinery a break—down of
their dynamo engine occurred late
Monday night, but yesterdayatransfer
Of their Ball dynamos to the electric
light station was effected and they con-
nected with the latter’s engines, which”
were found to be in good running"
order, and again last night our streets
were well lighted. Today, the way
bill of the 1,300 Thomson-Houston in-
candescent dynamo, immediately tele-'
graphed for, was received, and wires
have already been run into the new
building in readiness to connect it the
moment it'is set, so that the incan-
descent lights in use all about the
borough will be going again in the
course Of a few hours at the latest. A
temporary roof has been put up over
boilers to protect them from injury
from the weather, and the utmost
energy is being put forth not only to
fully repair the injury done by the fire
at the earliest possible moment, but to
enlarge the plant and render it more
powerful and efficient than hitherto. in
accordance with the plans which had
been matured prior to the fire.
But for the courtesy of the gas com-
pany, however, the public, aswell as the
Electric Light Co. , would have been at
a sad disadvantage and such an act Of
generosity on the part of a competitor
is worthy Of all praise.
