Chief TO OUR READERS. ' Wis find ourselves compelled to again ask the patient indulgence of our read- ers, as they will see our advertising has lo increased of late that it has unavoid- ably‘f'Cro‘wded out our usual amount of reading matter. On June first we pro- posel'to add four more columns to the present size of the DAILY GAZETTE and will .then be able to give more news than any other local paper and all for ONE GENT.

Alvord, while he was building a board fence across a road leading from her house to. the main road near the railroad station. 7The road was opened over forty years ago by citizens and, although considered private prope'rty,had been all that time used publicly. Mr. Alvord claimed the right to blockade it, Mrs-Becker denied it, and as the fence would in- convenience her she twice knocked it down. While Alvord was building the fence a third time the woman applied the whip. The case was stated ina jus— tice court, but will be tried on an ap- peal. WHAT'MISS SPIN'STER SAYS I . That Mr. Frank Beatty was in town over Sunday, having had 'a very suc- cessful business trip. That Prof. Gumbart of the East Nor- . walk school, Saturday, carried a'large quantity of beautiful flowers, the gift of his pupils, to one of the New York hospitals. .- That Grace church will begin its’ Sunday school next Sunday morning. That a woman’s pocket, if it isn’t a lost arts, and is past finding out even by the woman herself. ' _ That not onevwoman in ten thousand Over twenty is good looking’enough = to wear her forehead bare and her hair combed straight back. ~ * That these are the days when May belles wear sealskin caps and lace hats, mink collars and suede low shoes.

They spend money like water in surrounding themselves in their houses with objects of art, but when it is proposed to do any work for the town, they are either uninterested or hoStilelto the proposal. Thdt Christianity is not a restraint, but a freedom which makes the world ours. That bicycling is a firmly established and generally recognized sport.

Mrs. John Becker of Greens Farms" myth altogether, belongs among-the ~ ANOTHER KINK' Mill HOSE. Doubtful if the Injunction is Legal. tWas Judge Kelsey a Judge? Could Judge Kelsey grant the ' in- junction ? . ~ Judge W. H.,Ke1sey,who granted the anti-hose injunction, was appointed by virtue of Article XX of the amend- ments to the Constitution of Connecti- cut which reads: . V‘ “Judges of the Court of Common Pleas and of the District Courts shall be appointed for terms of four years. Judges of the City Courts and Police Courts shall be appointed for terms of two years.” _ The special Acts of 1889 say that Judge Kelsey Was appointed “for two years from February 1, 1880.” The Connecticut Register issued by Sec’y of State R. J. Walsh states in parenthe- sis “Term of Deputy Judge ends Feb- ruary 3, 1891.” Judge Kelsey as Judge of'a City Court can be called in to act in place of -a‘- judge of the Court of :COmmon Pleas and it was in this capac- ity that he issued the injunction. But according to publications of the State of Connecticut his term expired last February; Was he then on May 16th so qualified that he could grant an in- junction ? According to that part of the Constitution above quoted there is no f‘hold over” clause which fits Gov. Bulkeley so snugly, and which would help out Judge Kelsey. The injunc- tion may be all right and issued by competent authority; the GAZETTE would not dare, amid sapient editors and “learned counsel,” to raise its head and say nay, so we give the facts, But if Secretary of State Walsh’s State Man- ual is to be relied upon Judge Kelsey was nota Judge when he issued the Maples Injunction,for his term of office had expired! COO—~—-———- Brundage—Barden. The quiet little hamlet of Shrub Oak, N. Y., was enlivened on Thursday, May 14th, by the marriage of Miss Josie H. Barden, eldest daughter of Rev. E. HIVV. Barden, pastor of the Methodist church of that place, to Robert J. Brundage of Norwalk, the hour being high noon. Before the time appbinted the ushers, Mr. Charles W. Buckly of Stamford, Mr. Emerson Montross of New York, Mr. Searles Lent of Shrub Oak, and Mr. Corbet Barden, brother of the bride, were kept busy seating the guests, while Miss Darrow presided'at the organ and played some pretty selections. At the appointed time the bride and groom appeared at the lobby, when the wed- ding march was struck up, and, pre- ceded by the bridesmaids, Miss Mary Borden, sister Of the .bride, and Miss Lizzie Strong, and the ushers, they ad- vanced to the altar and were met by the father of the bride, .who made them partners for life. They again resumed the march and were then driven to the home of the bride, where, after congratulations, they sat down to a bountiful repast. After a short social time they departed amid a shower of rice, to Peekskill, thence to Greenfield, Ulster 00., N. Y. The presents were many and beauti- ful, consisting of silver ware, table linen, chairs, vases, clocks and oil paintings. but the most valuable one was from the bride’s father, abeautiful piano ; there was also a family bible. Guests from Norwalk, Winnipauk, Danburytr Stamford, New York city, Ardsby, N. Y., and Shrub Oak, at- tended the wedding. -. May success attend them is the wish of their many friends. * O Another Paper Forced to Enlarge. The Meriden Daily Republican, like the Daily Norwalk GAZETTE, is forced to enlarge in order to accommodate its rapidly increasing advertising patron- age. It recently put in a new Webb perfecting press, and is to stereotype its forms. We are also pained to see as we did yesterday morning, that its chief editor for many years past, Mr. William F. Graham, died at his home in Meriden at 1:15 Simday mormng, of cOnsumption, aged46 years. Deceased, who was a Mason, an Odd Fellow and a G. A. R. veteran, enjoyed a wide ac- quaintance‘with the public men of the state. 4 The Gazette Would Like to Know- Who is B. W. Maples anyway? Who says the steam roller wont stay at the bridge over night?

ROCKVILLE, May 19—Many of the merchants of this city are of the opin- ion that they have been swindled by a well dressed stranger, who repre— sented that he was the agent of the Labor Herald. He said the paper was published in New York and sold in a number of towns in this state including Darien and Bridgport the head -line being changed for each town. ‘ O Terrorlzed by Burglars. READING, Pa. ,May 19. ——Burglars have caused a reign of terror in the town of Oakland, a few miles from here. Ev- ery night houses are broken into and ransacked. The Operations of the gang have been going 'on for several months. Last night the residences of George F. Barr and Aaron Grant were broken in- to during the absence of the families and thoroughly ransacked. Round House and Repair Shops. GREENWICH, Conn., May 19,—The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company have resumed work on their new round house, repair shops and storage house for empty cars on the property recently purchased from William H. Tingue of East Port Ches- ter, better known as the Warren Mead Place. The round house and car shops from Stamford, New Rochelle and Port Chester will be removed to this point as soon as the works are com- pleted. ' The Stephen Raymond Estate. STAMFORD, Conn., May 19.—Applica- tion was made yesterday in the Stam- ford Probate Court for the appoint- ment of an administrator upon the es- tate of Stephen Raymond formerly of Darien, but lately deceased. Judge Finch appointed Oliver Cook adminis- trator of the estate, the real and per— sonal property Of which is about $15,- 000. J. Belden Hurlbutt and another Norwalk lawyer were present, and though no battle took place between them, it is understood that it is likely to occur in the near future, as the deceased man was the father of eleven children by his wife who afterward ob- tained a divorce, and also the father of five other children by another woman. All claim to be heirs, and this question will probably be reached in court in time. Nothing further will be done until the administrator qualifies. Castle Coote Leased. John H. Remson of N orwalk has ef- fected a lease of Wilton’s famous Gun— ning or “Castle Coote Farm,” compris- ing four hundred and twenty-five acres of pasture and tillage land. Mr. Rem- son will use it as a feed er for his large and growing milk business, and if any one can make its occupancy profitable, Remson “is the b’y as can do it. ” .._.__._—-——— Theodore E.

A sign in the window of a certain va- cant store room announces that the last tenant has moved “acrost the street.” All of the town papers, except the 110m, accepted and published the arti- cle entitled “Memorial Day,” which appeared in yesterday’s GAZETTE.

The members of Douglas Fowler Post will assemble at their hall at 6 o’clock Sunday evening, and march from thence to St. Mary’s church to at- tend the memorial services there. The friends of D. R.
