The Morison party left New York to- day at 11 o’clock with the famous“four- in-hand,” hitched to Mr. Morison’s new Brake and expected to reach Nor- walk at six this evening. It is a de- lightful day for their ride up one of the most charming routes on this con- tinent. The Danbury News publishes a high- ly sensational but utterly unfounded statement to the effect that the late “Hub” Barnes left $125,000 each to two of his nephews residing in that town. No inventory of Mr. Barnes’ property has yet been filed in the Probate office here, but those best able to judge of the entire value of the estate do not put it above $80,000, and most good judges doubt if it will reach even sev— enty-five thousand.

' Who says Capt. Rose never rode a horse? . Who is going to make the first trip on the City of Albany ? ' Who is going to see the fun at the Burgess meeting tonight ? What makes so many owners of horses hitch their vehicles on and over our borough cross-walks? To-nlght’s Burgesses Meeting. At the adjourned meeting to-night of the Court of Burgesses several import- ant matters will come up, including the Mill Hill project. It is understood also, that a petition will be presented praying for a re-layout of a portion of East avenue, in order to spare the fine elms and maples in front of the Bennett and Van Zandt places on the east side of the” avenue.’ While as a matter of sentiment it might be well to “spare that tree” those of our borough officials who have been talked with concerning .it, are not in favor of granting the prayer of the petition. An Old Sattler. ‘In plowing up the roadway in front Of Dr. Baldwin’s yesterday a huge elm tree stump was unearthed about two feet below the surface. All the Italians who could operate about it were set to work to chop it out and from the first blow of ‘ their axes to the last the stump emitted an odor that “smelled to high heaven,” as well as all around the neighborhood. It seemed to have scured on its own stomach by its long burial and recalled Charles Dudley Warner’s hot exclamation on lifting the tarpaulin from a ton Of limburger on the Rhine when he said “And can a merci- ful God forgive such a stench ?” To- day the steam plow will get a chain hitched on the Offensive offender and like a decayed molar in the jaw it will be jerked from its ~ socket and the world of Norwalk borough will move on as before. 0.. Phillips Brooks Rejected. What -- shall be said of the narrow charity and absurd assumption display— ed bv the Episcopal diocese of Newark in rejecting the nomination of Phillips Brooks as'bishop? Imagine “N. Bar- rows of Short Hills,” and “W. W. Hol- ley of Hackensack,” sitting in judg- ment on Phillips Brooks, one whose .hold on humanity, divinity, knowledge and truth, makes him the admiration of all men, and whose winning personal- ‘ "'ity and rare gifts are sufficiently po- tent to attract men to his denomina- tion, notwithstanding the jealous ex- clusiveness and uncharitable bigotry Of people cast in the Hackensack and Short Hills mould. If the Episcopal church deems it wise ‘tO reject this man we’ll make a people’s bishop of him, and give him room in'which to expand his splendid genius.——[Palladium. Work was commenced on the widen- ing of Main street, at the junction of Cross street and North avenue, this morning. The‘widening necessitated the cutting down of two large elms. C.
