The dog had reached that age when he was neither an orna- ment nor an article of luxury and like so many of his human fellow creatures his future was all behind him. Its mis- tress, good soul, was a kind hearted woman and as dog engineer Smith was after the tax, and a dread of the penalty of seven dollars and costs, staring her in the face, she humanely got some chloroform and a sponge and held it to Bowser’s nose. Bowser snuffed it and snorted and then crept under the table and slept all the after- noon in the mostblissful repose. Next day Bowser came up smiling as 'if, to say, “Give us some more Of that rest restorer.” She did, with the same happy results, day after day, till it was apparent that Bowser was getting fat on it, and a change of tactics must be resorted to. She called on Letter Car- 'rier Nickerson for a serious consulta~ tion, as to what was best to be done with the dog. Ladies all along the line of Nickerson’s route do this. He being full Of resources—~and nothing else— quickly told the anxious lady that he had it. That Lieut.

The fire was discovered by Constable E. S. Hall who gave the alarm. The .fire department promptly responded but_the flames had gained too much headway to do successful bat- tle. with them. Several tons of hay, .. considerable grain and farming uten- sils were burned. Four cows escaped injury, but a young horse had one eye and an ear burned ofi‘ and was burned on the back; otherwise he seemed as sound asrever. The fire was incendiary imd was started in the horse stable. There was an insurance of $300 on the barn, $150-on the hay and grain and $125 on the horse. <-o~> A Hanging Reminiscence. . In conversation yesterday with Selectman Daskam a DAILY GAZETTE representative found that gentleman in something of a reminiscent mood. Speaking, of the hanging of Scheele next week our worthy selectman said: .“I never saw but one hanging and I never want to see another. ..It was about thirty years ago. I was on my way to Staten Island by ferry boat and :wehadto pass very close to a man-of- war. This being a great curiosityrto the ship and seeing the marines mus- tered on deck thought they were drawn up to receive an admiral or some other high ofiicer. Suddenly, while we were enjoying the scene, a 'gun‘ was dis- ‘charged and the body of a sailor shot up to the yardarm. For a minute or so there was a perceptible tremor and then all was over. The whole thing was so unexpected, as well asshocking, that I didn’t quite get over it for sév-j eral weeks, and I never want to see another hanging.” ' ~——-—OOO Spare the Birds. Numerous complaints have been made to the DAILY GAZETTE of late touching the wanton destruction of .orioles, robins and other birds by lads with the destructive and dangerous air guns, and it seems to be high time to call a halt. It' is said that one Norwalk boy has made a collection of wings of birds killed thus cruelly, and' seeks to add daily to the variety of his collec- tion. By far the worst feature of this wicked sport is the fact that parent birds are killed daily, and their little ones are left to perish in their nests. But the climax was reached yesterday when an oriole, which has nested many seasons in a tree on the premises of one of our leading citizens, and to which his children had become very. much at. tached, was killed by the son of a neighbor. There is a law empowering the selectmen to appoint a constable, or warden, whose duty it would be to see that the laws pertaining to the pres- ervation of our winged pets are en- forced and violators thereof punished as they deserve. The time has arrived for the appointment of such an official; one who could be relied upon to dis: charge his duty without fear or favor. Entertalned by Senator Read. The democratic legisators of Fairfield county, to the number of seventeen, as- sembled in Bridgeport yesterday for the purpose of nominating successors to County Commissioners Johnson and Olmstead whose terms expire July 1st next. ' They arrived shortly before noon and at once became the guests of President . Read, who took them to a shore house, where they were dined. Hon. Morris W. Seymour, an ex-senator, was an in- vited guest. Major Read acted as toast- master in a happy manner. A few short speeches were made, and hilarity ran high. ' At 3 o’clock the legislators gathered at the democraticheadquarters to name candidates for eounty commissioners. Senator Seymour of Norwalk was made chairman, and Senator Houlihan of NewtOwn secretary. The name of At- torneyr Beecher of Newtown was pre- sented, to succeed Commissioner J ohn- son. He was unanimously nominated. Frederick Mead of Norwalk, was then- named to succeed Mr. Olmstead. He Was also the unanimous choice of the meeting. This done, the meeting ad- journed. No action was taken as to the course of the senate at next Monday’s meeting. Both nominations are con- sidered excellent ones. . Commissioner Johnson has been nom- inated by the republicans to succeed himself, and W. S. Mead, a Greenwich merchant to succeed Mr. Olmstead. Owing to the state of affairs in the leg- islature, Gov. Bulkeley will make the appointments for another year: ——————-~—«<-o>————————— Says the Ansonia Sentinel: Stamford is to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its settlement, next September.

Some sixty or more members of Com- pany F, met at the Armorylast evening to nominate a First Lieutenant as suc- cessor to Lieutenant Matheis. “Act- ing” Capt. Rose called the meeting to order, and-,Sergt. George A. Smith and Second Lieut. Aiken, were put in nomi- nation, when Rose ordered a ballot to be taken. It stood 30 for Smith and 24 for Aiken, several not voting because Of their understanding it to be an in- formal ballot, as the company by-laws expressly provide that all first ballots Rose promptly an- nounced Smith to have been elected, when demands for a formal ballot were made all over the room, to which Rose took no notice, when pandemonium being let loose, he declared the meet- ing adjourned. Nothing Could have been more unwise or unjust than Rose’s arbitrary action, as a formal ballot probably would not have changed the result, but would have been accept- ed as an act of fairness by the friends of Lieut. Aiken, but being refused all notice or consideration, they left the room in a body, booting, hissing and uproariously mad. We are told that Segt. Smith, who is a gentleman, and a favorite in the com- pany, regrets the action of Rose, as sincerely as all true friends Of- CO. F. do. . One member, who had not voted on the informal ballot and did expect and desire to vote on the formal one, got up and in a loud voice demanded of his “acting” commander—“What sort of a d——d monkey show do you. call this?”'—Others guyed, and hootcd and hissed Rose most unmercifully and the poor discredited and dishonored parti— son of Segt. Smith, was no doubt justi- fied in adjourning the disorderly meet- ing as his only means of escape. It is due to Lieut. Aiken to say that he tried all in his power but without avail, to restrain the unseemly and improper anger of his champions. Rose claims that he acted strictly in accordance with the advice given him by Co]. Skinner, who was present in the build- ing, but this statement is altogether improbable, for Col. Skinner also, is a gentleman and an honest and compo: tent military Officer. What the result Of this unseemly performance is to be no one can now foresee. Lieut. Aiken’s friends, while not objecting to Lieut. Smith per sec, do most hotly object to the arbitrary action of a man whom they know to be deficient in ability to pass a captain’s examination and yet who is clothed in the littte brief au- thority which he so wantonly abuses, and they are preparing a protest to send the Adjutant General and which will be heard from later. The smartest thing Rose can do is to atpnce retire to the seclusion of that private life for which both nature and 1118 own perversity in “crookedness” so eminently qualify him. CHURCH SERVICES.

Ex-Senator Hill authorizes the DAI- LY GAZETTE (in reply to the statement made by Dr. Coolidge to the board of borough burgesses when out on, their tour Of street inspection last Saturday that he would pay $5,000 cash for Mr. Hill’s charter for a street railway and not ask the borough to cut down Mill hill either,”) to state to Dr. Coolidge that he can have the said charter for the price he has offered and further that upon the payment of the said $5,000 he, Mr. Hill, will give $2,500 Of the money towards the erection of a sold- iers’ monument for the town of Nor- walk. So here is notonly a chance to at once appease the public clamor for a street railway down East avenue, but also secure the erection of the too long deferred soldiers’ monument. Many Of our best business men» express the belief that Dr. Coolidge would not have to wait many hours before every dollar of a reasonable capital stock for such a street railway would be sub- scribed asthey believe that with any kind of decent management such a road would earn from ten to fifteen per cent on its cost, so let the trade be at once consummated. coo—r ~-—-———-—— ,_ ~ EXTRA SOUTH NORWALK.
