Dairy Commissioner Winslow and Assistant Eaton, with Deputy Collector McDonald, captured a clever “oleo” swindler in New Haven 'Wednesday. His name is George W.

Horace L. Hubbell is his bondsman. The anticipation that the recent re- count of ballots would yield no results of importance was well founded. Re- turns have been received by the state central committee and through news- paper sources from only about fifty of the 168 towns, and it is to be presumed that in the unreporting towns nothing was done. ‘ The animated discussion this morn-. ing of Warden Keeler and Mr. James Sutherland, anent the Mill' hill improvement, which took place in front of Mr. Sutherland’s store, attracted a large and interested audi- ence, and the general verdict seemed to be that both gentlemen, although on opposite sides, told “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. ” William 0.

Glover, Esq.,concluded his negotiations for a bicycle last evening and at once repaired to the Church Green,where he joined the infant class of bicyclists and really showed surprisé ing agility and endurance and aptness in his eflorts to master his new and un- tried iron horse. Thomas J. Sheedy, Winnipauk’s fam- ous agriculturist, slipped off to Wiscon- sin some five weeks ago to buy horses, and while riding through that cold and windy state, he was seized with the grippe and laid up for three weeks, when he hustled himself back home, where he arrived last night.

Bates, down to the Weed barn in rear of the GAZETTE office, this morning, in turning down the narrow drive way which the two banks have unjustifiably made still narrower, the load toppled over and a wild Italian acting so frantically about the lover- turned load, led to the surmise that one of his countrymen was under the hay. Such was not the fact, however, and the hay was re—loaded and in in- stallments put into the barn. ‘ -~———<+> ,__._ State Dental Assoclatlon.

In order to bring about a more ef- fective delivery service, if possible, Postmaster Hubbell, a short time ago, issued smallcards to each carrier with instructions to write thereon the names Of all of the persons on their respective routes. One card was assigned to each house and the names of the occupants, as Well as of those of friends who might be visiting them, were duly inscribed thereon. The returns are now in, about eight thousand in all, and Mr. Hubbell is engaged in compiling a directory, alphabetically a1 ranged for his bene- fit as well as for that of each carrier. The work has already borne unlooked for fruitage, inasmuch as by the adop- tion of this plan Mr. Hubbell and the carriers have got track of persons of whom they had no previous knowledge, whose names were not in the borough directory and for whom letters had been held for delivery; Our. genial ' and IOUGHI Toll DRAW ‘Jackson and‘Corbet‘t Fight Sixty- One Fierce Rounds. to Continue the Mill..‘ [Special to the DAILY GAZETTEJ SAN FRANCISO, on, May '22.—Tbe great fight between Peter Jackson and Jim Corbett, the gladiators,which took ' place before the California Athletic club last night, was brought to an end at the close of the fist-round. Referee Hiram Cook declared the fight “no contest,” which is different from a draw, the match will have to be fought over. Both men were then badly used up, Cor- bett being the weaker but still game. Jackson’s shoulder was dislocated, and two ribs were broken. Both Corbett’s hands were broken and he was very weak. The result ofthe fight is con- sidered a big victory for young Cor- bett and if the men meet againit is be- lieved that he will be the favorite and the victor. 'After the 31st round the, fight developed into a walking match. Both men fought extremely shyand the spectators manifested their disgust several . times. When , blows were struck theyj cheered wildly to encourage the men to keep the work up. From the 31st to the 42d round there was but little fighting, the men running around the ring most of the time. In the next eight rounds Jackson tried to force the fighting, but Corbett fought wary and avoided pun- ishment. The remainder of the rounds were tame, neither of the men having strength enough to strike a hard blow. After the fight Corbett said that he thought at one time his arm was brok- en. — . ---~-—c< o >~-~ —--——— Now that the new cure for drunken- ness has been discovered, the discover- er should devise some plan by which the remedy can be made as popular as the disease. ~ ~<o>~—«r~- OBITUARY. ELIZABETH ST. JOHN HOYT. One of Norwalk’s most estimable and beloved women died at 7:45 last eve- ning in the person of Mrs. ELIZABETH ST. JOHN HOYT, widow of the late J as. A. Hoyt, at her home, 93 East avenue. Mrs. Hoyt belongedto one of the old- est and most revered families of our town. She was a lady of. charming manners, of warm and affectionate dis- position and unusual grace and attract- iveness of both mind and person. She has reared a large family of children», every one of whom must “rise up and call her blessec ,” and with and for all of whom, she has always striven to maintain the old, ancestral home. Mrs. Hoyt has left six children, four sons and two daughters. and had she lived till June would have attained her seventy-seventh year. She had for a great number of years been a devoted member of the Episcopal church. It is an interesting as it is a singular fact, that her glorified spirit took its flight in the same room in which she was born, and there to-day, the restful peace and glory of the supernal world illumes her pallid brow. To her— “We will not say good bye, But in some brighter clime Bid her good morning." EMMA S. GREGORY. To-day, upon the lovely hilltop of peaceful Wilton, a widowed mother sits in the deep sorrow of another ir- reparable bereavement. . ary record of yesterday’s DAILY GA- ZETTE, the brief announcement, of the sudden death "of Miss EMMA S. GREG- ORY was given. She was the youngest daughter of the late William D. Greg- ory of Wilton, who in his life time was Town Clerk, Representative in the Legislature and occupied many other positions of trust and honor. But since the father’s death Miss Emma has been the “main-stay” of the family and “all the world” to the widowed mother. She was a young lady of lovable char. acter and gifted with unusual and even extraordinary managing and executive abilities for a girl and for one so young. She was recently stricken with 19. grippe which soon developed into other fore her life was considered in danger, her pure spirit had taken its flight to God who gave it, while mother and sisters and brothers mourn as did Ra- chel of old and refuse to be comforted, because she is not. Heaven comfort and sustain them. For the many who knew and loved her, as all did who knew her, “she sleeps too early and too long.” But— i “There is no flock. however watched and tended, But one dead lamb is there, There is no fireside, howsoe’er defended. But has one vacant chair.” 0 Princess “Kaiulani, the future Queen of Hawau,1s completing her education postmaster is to be commended for his enterprise and industry. / I 11 London, and lives in the strictest L retirement. ~.

The Burgesses were called to order last evening at 8 o’clock by Warden Keeler. Present, Burgesses Bowe, Burr, Buxton, Kent, O’Reilly andYan- derhoef. The minutes of the meetings of May 4, 11 and 18 were read and approved. BILLS ORDERED PAID. The follOwing bills having been duly audited were ordered paid: D. B. Con- ley, $5.10; D. B. Conley, $10.50; David Sheehan, $15; Barney Feeney, $17.70; A. DeForest, $30; John H. Gormley, $30; Charles Adams, $30; Timothy Mc- Carthy $22; F. Kocour, $11.50; Mike Whalen, $12; Martin Mulligan, $16-95; William A. Scofield, $5,70; Nicholas Martin, $30; [D. Conley’s bill of $211 included $39.20 for lowering the grade of the street railroad, Chairman Bowe of the=highway committee explaining that the charge was properly against the borough rather than the Street Railway Company, inasmuch as the work was practically for the benefit of the borough rather than the Street Railway :Company.] After Chairman Bowe’s explanation Warden Keeler thought he could not indorse the bill ' as properly chargeable against the bor- ough, although he wanted to be just to all parties concerned. Burgess O’Reil- 1y asked Borough Attorney Warner whether he was prepared to express an Opinion on the matter, to which he re- plied negatively. Burgess Burr’s mo- tion that the bill be paid, minus the $39.20 was carried unanimously. Fire department $2.50; P. H. Dwyer, $1; Connor Brothers, $1,733.38; Norwalk Gas Light Company, $11.25; John H. Hoyt, $50; William Lawler (balance due); Gutta Percha Company, $3.88; Norwalk DAILY GAzETTE, $14; total, $2,224.26. Chief Prow1tt announced that owing to delay in getting the hose supply wag— On he would ask an extension of time until June for the annual fire depart- ment inspection; his request was granted. Water Commissioner Street present- ed a requisition for $2,000 for the pay- ment of bills in the water department. . Mr. Street presented a petition of Hiram Fitch for the extension of water pipe to his barn. he agreeing to pay seven per cent. of the expense. The recommendation of the Commissioners that the-request be granted was laid over till the next meeting on motion of Burgess Bowe. The prayer of the petition of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Raymond for an extension of water main was granted on motion of Burgess O’Reilly. The petition for a sidewalk on Belden avenue, referred to the highway com- mittee, was reported by Chairman Bowe, who said that it seemed to the committee, after a careful examination of the matter, as if the work should be prosecuted at once. On motion the whole subjectwas referred to the high- way committee with power, which means that the work will be done sub- ject to the approval of the highway committee. Chairman Bowe reported one bid for the grading etc., of Riverside avenue, from A. Bach, South Norwalk. - . . On motion of Burgess Buxton a con- tract was ordered entered into with Mr. Bach by the Chairman of the highway committee, on the basis of his bid, it being understood that the total ex- pense shall not exceed $1,200. An estimate for the sewer in Cross street, of $691, was considered, and as the sum named is in excess of that which the Court can expend the sub! ject went over to the next meeting. Burgess Buxton presented an esti- mate of the expense of a sewer exten- sion on East avenue, the sum not to ex- ceed $90. On motion of Burgess O’Reilly the petition was granted. Superintendent Fof Sewers Curtis through Burgess Buxton, petitioned for some decent and much needed hose to be used in his department. On mo- tion of Burgess O’Reilly the matter was tabled. An invitation to the Court of Bur- gesses to participate in the Memorial Day parade was read and accepted. On motion of Burgess Bowe a com- mittee was appointed, consisting of Burgess Bowe,“to engage two coaches, at the expense of the borough, for the use of the Burgesses on MemorialDay. Burgess O’Reilly’s motion that the highway committee be requested to re- move the knoll on the south end of Stewart avenue was adopted. MILL HILL IMPROVEMENT. A petition numerously signed, was read praying for the cutting down of Mill hill, the substance of the same having heretofore been presented in the columns of the DAILY GAzETTE, and .. , walk to New Canaan. being well understood by our readers . generally. Burgess Bowe believed the borough had already about as much on its hands as it could carry through, and that no interests would suffer materially if the whole matter were postponed indefi- nitely. Mr. E. J. Hill had nothing particu- larly new to offer, but suggested that the contemplated improvement would properly come before a borough meet- ing, inasmuch as the expense of the cutting would exceed $500. Burgesses Bowe and Vanderhoef be- lieved in completing work on West ave nue and other thoroughfares before en- tering upon any new work, Burgess Bowe closing his remarks by moving that the Mill hill subject be tabled. A running fire of discussion ensued, participated in by Burgesses Bowe, Vanderhoef and O’Reilly and Mr. Hill. On being put to a vote Burgess Bowe’s motion to table resulted in a tie, and the motion was lost by the vote of Warden Keeler against tabling. On motion of Burgess O’Reilly the whole Court of Burgesses will act with the borough engineer in preparing an estimate of the expense of ‘the Mill hill improvement, establishing a grade, etc. The petition for a re-layout of a por- tion of East avenue (referred to in yes- terday’s GAZETTE,) for the purpose principally of saving some fine trees in front of the Bennett and other proper- ty was tabled, on motion of Burgess O’Reilly. The estate of Eli B. Bennett sent in a communication asking the Court to make East avenue 44 feet wide along then 250 feet frontage, as the present ”layout of 50 feet will take all their ten trees. They intimate that the map has been made 40 feet for a ood part of the way in order to save t e trees and express their intention of opposing the layout by legal proceedings and claim $2,000 damages if the layout _ is not amended. Burgess Burr moved that the salary of the Collector ,be put at $500 as here- tofore, and the same was adOpted. Burgess Bowe referred to the Hoyt street surface water nuisance, and on motlon of Burgess Kent the matter was referred to the sewer committee with power. . On motion of Burgess Bowe the bond required of the collector was fixed at $12,000. _ The East avenue improvement ques- tlon came up and Senator Seymour ex- plained that the work could go on with the exception of the section in front of the Daskam property, which is covered by an Injunction. On motion the chairman of the finance commIttee was authorized to borrow $2,500 on the credit of the borough, or so much thereof as might be necessary. Burgess Bowe moved that the mat- ter of purchasing suction hose for the use of the sewer department be taken from the table and that 25 feet be pur- chased. Carried. On motion of Burgess Burr the Court adjourned till Monday, June 1. ——— ———<+ Additional South Norwalk News. Chief Vollmer last night received a telegram to be on the outlook for four boys, Charles Lawrie, George Garvic. J oseph‘Gloster and Patrick Hinchey, who had escaped from the Burnham Industrial Farm at Canaan Four Cor- ners, Columbia county, New York. A reward of $50 awaits the party appre- hen ding them. Mail Carrier Bennett instead of com- ing down West avenue, as is his wont, with the mail to catch the 7:56 train this morning, drove down East avenue. As he reached the Fort Point road he heard his train approaching, and whipped up his nag into a run. As he reached the Washington street bridge. . a schooner was about passing through, and the bridge was partially opened ; taking in the situation at a glance he grabbed the mail pouches, jumped on the bridge, leaving his turnout to the fates and succeeded in getting across. As he came up Washington street he attracted e’en as much attention as did the Wheel parade, but had the lively satisfaction of reaching the station be- fore the train. He then perspiring at every pore returned to find his turnout intact, but hereafter will come to South Norwalk by the usual route. Grand Juror Marza Raymond this morning was enabled to discard the use of a cane for the first time in fourteen months. -—-————-— —< o.» —— —~———— Y. m. c. A. NOTES.
