About5 o’clock yesterday afternoon Borough Bailifi' De Forest handed the following to Mr. E. J. ‘Wadhams :— To Edward J. Wadhams. SIB :—You are hereby notified to re- move the building erected by you on the south side of Wall street in the Bor- ough of N orwalk, as the same,.as erected and maintained by you, is a vlolation of the Borough by-laws. Borough of Norwalk, Oct. 21, 1891. EDWIN O. KEELER, Warden of the Borough ofNorwalk. On receipt of the above, Mr. VVad- hams at once sought» Warden Keeler, claiming that he was ready and willing to comply with the Borough laws, but that no one had made him acquainted with what the borough authorities de- sired him to do. The Warden sent him to Borough Clerk Hubbell. who read the by-laws to Mr. Wadhams and sug- gested as the best way out of it, was to cover his market with metal and Mr. Wadhams at once agreed to iron-clad it to the borough’s satisfaction. WHAT MISS SPINNER-ems.- That rival squires are marrying elop- ing couples free of charge at J efi'erson- ville, Ind. That the Philadelphia “swells” are esteemed the best batted in the land. The Philadelphia Record says so. That clear boiling water will remove tea stains; pour the water through the stain and thus prevent its spreading. That wetting the hair thoroughly once or twice with a solution of salt and water er will keep it from falling out. That one teaspoonful of ammonia to a teacupful of water applied with a rag will clean silver or gold jewelry. _ That kerosene will soften boots and shoes that have been hardened by water, and render them pliable as new. That there are said to be over 900 women preachers in this country. The preponderance is in favor of the Univer- salist denomination. That the German Empress has formed a “League for the Preservation of Good Habits” among the Prussian ladies. The members bind themselves to discourage luxury, to wear simple dresses and to practice economy in the household. That a young woman named Lucy McClure has been arrested in West Vir- ginia for engaging in business as a moonshiner. Besides being an athletic woman of great nerve, bright and sharp. she is a fine shot with either the rifle or revolver, and was the owner of a beautiful sorrel horse that many a time saved her life. Whenever the marshals were on her track her fleet-footed steed bore her swiftly away. and at night she was secreted by her friends. That French hairdressers are circu- lating a petition which they will sub- mit to the Minister of Fine Arts when it has 500,000 signatures. The purport of the document is that women be pro- hibited from appearing in their hats in theatres subsidized by the overnment, and that the coifl'ure of t 6 ladies at such entertainments be according to the fashion devised by the Hairdressers As- sociation. The cause of this strange request is that the trade in false hair has greatly decreased for the last few years, and the present fashion of dressing the hair in Grecian style threatens a still greater falling off in that trade. Franke-Benedict. Miss Marie Emilie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Franks, and Mr. Her- bert O.

Of the company to appear at this house Saturday evening the San Fran- cisco Call said: “The elson Combina- tion have made a few slight changes in the bill this week,but even this was un- necessary,'as the success achieved dur- ing their mitial performances was suf- ficient to carry them successfully through to- the end of their engage- ment. Their audiences have been large during their second week,and the various acts continue to be repeatedly redemanded. The Nelson family’s ac-‘ robatic feats are appreciated all the more as the skill and perfection at- tained in performing the various haz- ardous feats becomes apparent.”_ . ' All Abouta Rat. In one of the palatial residences on the Church Green, a few nights since, there was a. more, terrible scare and frantic outcry than ever was caused b the dlscovery in the house of any mi - night burglar, and all on account of one poor rat. The blood-curdling story runs thusly : One of the daughter’s of the family, on retiring, bolted her door and turned down the light quite low, as'was her wont, and being “at peaceow1th all the world and the rest of mankmd,”was soon in the blissful arms of Morpheus. A little, after midni ht she was awakened by a quick an a sudden jar on top of her bed covering, as_1f something had dropped from the calling. Rising up in bed to see what 1t might. be, she saw a huge rat sitting bolt uprlght on the bed some three feet below her chin, with its piercing eyes apparently transfixed on hers. To scream was-feminine, if not human,but With only a single screetch, she leaped from the bed, flew to the door, and set up such a war-whoop as awakened the whole house, if ' it did not arouse the anclent dead on Town House hill. Her mother and sister were first to the res- cue, the male defenders 'of the house- hold arriving later, as usual. When the angehc host was made aware of the cause of the soul-piercing alarm. all eyes went to the center of the bed and there apparently paralyzed with fright, still set the poor rodent. The mother darted out of the room for ‘ a broom, the sister ran for the rolling-pin, and the, victim of the “terrible situation,” elezed her French heeled boot, and the vahant trio, after twisting the nether end of their night robes about their ankles and closing tight the door, charged onMr. rat. The contest was as short as 1t was unequal. A few well directed blows soon ended the romantic career of ‘ the rat, and since then the only fear has been lest these ubiquitous DAiLY'tGAZETTE reporters should “get on o 1 .” “Sport” Campana in Distress. Apress dispatch from Chicago yes- terday says that “Sport” Campana, of Bridgeport, “was brought into Justice Lyons’ courts» yesterday afternoon charged with eing intoxicated. He was in a terrible condition, the result of a long spree.

At the Opera House to-night Lizzie Daily will present ” The Latest Fad " for the benefit of Hope Hose. In view of the fact that a very short notice was given of this benefit, the citizens of Norwalk, as well as the business men, have responded right royally to make their benefit a rousing one. If any there are who have not purchased tick- ets, they should do so at once, as Hope Hose is deserving of all that the resi- dents Of N orwalk can do for them. Ever ready themselves to respond to the call of duty, it should, be a pleasure to our cltlzens to respond when a benefit for them is announced. 0.. The Brake Broke.

When the train reached South Nor- walk the Consolidated road refused to transfer the through car and the pas- sengers left the car and boarded the regular train. ‘ Obituary. GEORGE LOW.

I Connecticut Odd Folio wship. A subject now occupying the atten- tion of every member Of the I. O._O. F. , in the state is the proposed erectlon of a home for indigent and aged Odd Fellows.

HARRISBURG, Oct. 22.——Attorney Gen- eral Hansel submitted a number of letters and telegrams to the "senate from State Treasurer Boyer and ex—State Treasurer John Bardsley to retain the state moneys when they knew he was largely indebted to the commonwealth. Statements from the department of pub- lic instruction were presented to show that for the past twenty years there was no precedent for the payment of Philadel- phia’s share of the school appropriation as made tO'JOhD Bardsley. In many instances these payments were made after the expiration of the school year recognized by the state authorities in liquidating the claims of the 2,000 and odd districts in Pennsylvania, which is the first Monday in June. The $420,000 school fund, which John Bardsley embezzled, was paid him by State Treasurer Boyer on Dec. 31, 1890, six months before the money was due, ac- cording to the attorney general’s construc- tion Of the law. , The state treasurcr’s' plea. is that the money was due to the Philadelphia school district at the close of the year, and that he was anxious to pay out the money be- fore that time to prevent it from going into theisinking fund on the first of January under the law requiring quarterly pay- ments of surplus moneys over a. certain amount to be made from the general to the sinking fund, and thus diminishing the power of the general fund to meet its boligations. .
