The Horse Show that closed at Madi- son Square Garden Saturday night, was by far the most brilliant and suc- cessful affair of the kind that New York has ever seen. The horses ex- hibited were superb specimens of their race, and there was but one feature to mar the otherwise perfect beauty of the most of them. That was the cruel and inane fad, so many owners of oth- erwise perfect animals had indulged, in having their horses tails docked, in brutal, English cockney style. We re- joice to see that Gen. Thomas T. Eckert, of the Western Union, a criti- cal judge and ardent admirer of man’s noblest servant, in his offer of a $50 special prize for the best saddle horse, expressly stipulated that the amimal should be long-tailed. A story is told us of a gentleman who had a superb chestnut saddle horse, whose every step and movement was beauty and grace itself, and who was desirous to sell it for $500. Two gentlemen ap‘, peared and both expressed an eager-. nose to own the beautiful creature at the price named, ’but both declined On account of its foolish owner having had the bone of its tail docked. This is an- other encouraging sign that this brutal folly of thus maining a horse is going out-of fashion. In England, where t he fad originated, there are no flies to tor- ment the poor beast as here in America, and is less cruel torture than here, but the act is inexcusable anywhere. ——~ ————— o co ——-——-———-»—~—- WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS: That Miss Sallie Betts leaves Colo- rado next Monday for home. That the Over River School teachers have prepared an interesting program for the scholars for Wednesday after; noon. That he that sendeth a turkey to the poor this week lendeth to the Lord. That our Norwalk Democrats need pay no heed to_Mister Governor Bulke- ley’s _ Thanksgiving proclamation, nor go Without turkey, President Harrison has appointed the same day for the festival, and all those who cannot ac- knowledge Governor Bulkeley’s auth- ority can give thanks under the direc- tion of a National executive whose title is unclouded. The coincidence will serve to satisfy the Democratic appe- tites and ease the Democratic con- science at the same time. That there are only a few more No- vember days. and who shall say again it is the dreary month of the year,after all_the golden sunshine that we have enjoyed. Brooklyn suffered greatly yesterday because of an almost total stoppage of its water supply. Most of its manufac- tories shut down, two lines of elevated railroad suspended operations, house- holders were in distress and the city was without protection from fire until late in the evening, when the break in the conduit was repaired. Brooklyn Bridge cables could not be used. Lo- comotives drew trains of two cars. I‘housands walked across the Bridge. New York’s outlook for water is brighter.

The freight train on the Consolidated road known as the “ Pur 50,” was late this morning, caused, perhaps, by the fact that there were several tons of tur- keys aboard for Norwalk and South Norwalk parties.

He was taken to the Bridge- port jail later in the day, to await his _ trial. ——Fine New England ‘Walnuts at Bette and Farrington’s. About 6 o’clock last evening, the meat which hung on the big hooks in Wadham’s market began to quiver, a bright sheet of fire ran along the in- side of the roof ‘of the building, and even the prices, which are now as low as an ordinary man would ask, took a sudden tumble. One of the employes of the market nut his hand onto a side of beef to steady it, and was knocked clear across the store, and another man who touched the tin leader on the outside of the building. landed over in the vicinity of Dywer’s harness store. The cause of all this was the deadly electric light wire, the insulation-of whichhad been rubbed 011' where it entered the building on the east side, and when the market was roofed with tin some time ago, the tin had been left where the wire, if blown by a heavy wind, would touch it. ’Twas lucky that it was discovered while the market was open, for bad it occurred while the place was closed, the build- ing would undoubtedly have caught fire, and possible the entire block been consumed. —-I_.

Another of Norwalk’s favorite and promising young men, has paid the debt of nature, just as the prizes of life were opening to him their most glitter- ing allurements. Charles L. Warren was the son of William ‘Warren of Orchard street. Several months since he was attacked with la grippe, which developed into quick, or that peculiar type of consumption, which has taken away so many of the brightest and best young men of Norwalk, during the past few years. Besolutely fighting his in- sidious disease and hoping against hope, exhausted nature gave way to the unequal struggle and his pure spirit took its flight at a quarter to six this morning, he leaving a young wife and little boy to mourn his untimely de- mise. He was in his 27th year. For the past ten years he has been employed at the hat shop of Crofut & Knapp; the last four of which he was book-keeper. He was married five years ago to a daughter of Mr. Martin Kellogg. He was beloved by all who knew him and his death will be widely and sincerely lamented. The time of his funeral Will be duly enactment! hereafter. _ gave George E. Hoyt, a painter, then .. l Quo WA‘RRANTO. The Legal Battle On. The legal contest for the governor- ship was resumed in the Supreme Court at Hartford yesterday. The capitol was filled with representative politi- cians and many lawyers. Among the latter class}: was Senator Seymour of Norwalk The lawyers for the plaintiff are ex-Governor Charles B. Ingersoll, State’s Attorney Doolittle and ex- Judge Henry Stoddard, of New Haven. For Governor Bulkeley appeared Hen- ry C. Robinson, William C. Case and Charles J. Cble. v Governor Bulkeley was an interested spectator and sat in the court room just behind hls counsel. Attorney Cole on behalf of; the de- fendant said that Mr. Bulkeley believ- ed himself tobe the only constitutional governor of the state and that it is his duty to hold the office until his success- or has been duly elected and qualified according to law, that no person voted for had a majority of the votes cast, hence Mr. Bulkeley held over under the statute. Judge Stoddard held that an unlaw- ful and pretended claim to the title of governor cannot wrest from the court the power to determine the truth of such claim. .His argument occupied the entire afternoon session and at the close, the court adjourned until 9.30 o’clock this morning, when ex-Govern- or Ingersoll will speak for Judge Mor- ris, and the closing argument will be made by Mr. Robinson. Turkeys! Turkeys! —-No such display of fancy turkeys was ever made in Norwalk. 200 Duch- ess and Litchfield county turkeys at only 18 to 20‘cents per pound at the People’s Market, 21 Wall street. 236 2t Coo Caused by an Engineer’s Rashness. JACKSONVILLE, Ills, Nov. 24.——A wreck occurred on. the Jacksonville Southeastern railroad at this place, in which one man was killed. Just before the south bound Red Express .was due, the engineer who was to take the train from this point dis- covered that his locomotive was nearly out of water. He went into the dispatcher’s ofiice, and learning that the incoming ex- press was fourteen minutes late out of Havana, forty-two miles north, he rashly pulled out for the water tank, thinking he could obtain water before ‘ the express reached him. The express had been mak- ing up time, however. The night was so dark and foggy that the incoming train could not be seen until too late to prevent a collision. Charles Hargrove, engineer of the express, was instantly killed. Beck and his fireman saved themselves by jump- ing. Several passengers were bruised, but none were seriously injured. Shot His Millionaire Brother. POTTSVILLE, Pa, Nov. 24,—Thomas Cooch, one of the best known pioneers of the Schuylkill county coal region, and a millionaire furnace operator and powder manufacturer, was shot by his brother Richard. Thomas is a widower and lives in a handsome cottage in a. fashionable quarter. Richard and his wife kept house for him. Thomas tried to drive Richard away, but wanted the wife to stay. During the controversy Richard shot Thomas in the head and his wife in the arm. The brothers are over eighty years of age. They were taken before a justice, but the hearing was suppressed. The injuries will not prove fatal. Secretary Foster’s Condition. WASHINGTON, Nov. ‘M.—Sec‘retary Foster is suffering from a severe cold. While in New York he placed himself in the hands of ex-Surgeon General Hamilton, who came to WashingtOn with him. The doctor has forbidden him to leave his room and the secretary is not expected to return to his desk at the treasury de- partment this week. In his room he signs papers requiring his signature. A Snowstorm Saved the Town. PARAGOULD. Ark, Nov. 24.—The Bertig block was burned at a late hour last night. The occupants—Bertig Bros.’ dry goods store, Dr. Hicks’ drug store, Gallamore’s saloon, Newsom’s grocery store and H. Goldman’s dry goods store—sustained an aggregate loss of about $100,000. A heavy snowstorm prevailed at the time, which probably saved the town from destruction. Dropped Dead in a Liquor Store. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—At police head- quarters the following dispatch from the Brooklyn police was received: “We have adead nian here supposed to be George William Travers, associate editor of The Western History, 132 Nassau street, New York.

After the GAZETTE’s report of the O’Beilly liquor remonstrance closed yesterday, the following testimony was taken and then testimony closed. The Commissioners will be in Norwalk at 9.30 o’clock, Saturday morning, when each aide will be allowed one hour for argument and the case then decided. John Bouton: Had lived on Main street for 25 years and carried on the business of upholsterer an repairer on Center avenue. My customers are nearly all ladies, who come from differ- ent parts of the town and from out of . town; my opinion is that 168 Main street is an unsuitable place for the sale of intoxicating liquor, because nearly all are private residences about there ;. my lady customers 'will be required-to Sit in their carriages direct- ly opposite O’Beilly’s ; if any indecen cues are Committed they will be in full View of my reSidence; if profane lan- guage is indulged in, my fam.ly can hear it all; when Swan kept a saloon there, a drunken man pushed his way into my house ; I have also found drunken. men in my yard ; being a community of private residences. a liquor saloon should not be located there. Think it would decrease value or property and keep people away for reeldence purposes; never saw police- man on duty in that locality. Cross-ex mined : It was likely Swan had committed nuisances,and when the man _ourst_in his door, “Jim” Charl- ton lived in that neighborhood. Can see every person passing in and out of O’Beilly’s front door ; hear disturb; ances now all times of night goxng up or down street ; never made complaint to Borough authorities, but thought of it several times. Be-direct : This corner is the regular stopping place for people to congregate nights. 11}. L. Boyer was the next witness: Think that if a saloon was started peo- ple would not build on that street: would not have built myself if I had thought a saloon was to be on the cor- ner ; don’t think my place would sell for. as good a price with a saloon above as it would now. Property near a saloon Will not sell for as much, nor is property much sought after; a saloon is a great objection to residences. Cross examined : Own other proper- ty other than Where I now live and never bought or sold any other. J ai'v1s Kellogg; Lives on Center ave- nue ; keep a shoe store on Main street ; residence first house around the oorner at rear of O’Beilly’s, and in plain sight of the store; lived there 11 or 12 years; have lived in vicinity of store 25 years. Thought, place unsuitable in which—to sell liquor because it is on one of the finest streets leading out of N orwalk : many private residences are located there and many ladies and school children pass there; don’t think it would enhance the price of property; would feel like selling out and getting away. if liquor is sold there; my wife and daughter sit at a windowvwhere theywould be in full view of any inde- cen01es_ that might occur; no police protection on street ; good many fights and disturbances there now ; when Swan kept saloon there were lots of fightsand disturbancef ; think that if a saloon was opened they would be worse. Cross examined: We don’t get any police protection in that neighbor- hood; might have offered to sell my place to O’Reilly, but don’t remember that I ever did. Might have been talk that I sold liquor "there Without a license, but it was untrue, and this is the first time I ever heardit insinuated. Think a saloon there now would be as objectionable as when Swan kept it. _ Be direct: Should object to it even if liquor was sold there according to law, as it is not a suitable place. Melvin W. Silliman : Live 45 Center avenue ; I Object to liquor being sold on Maim street ;‘ have lived in N orwalk am y: are and our community is 'a peaceable one, and I don’t want to see liquor sold; my family will pass the corner a thousand of times and I don’t want Ihem to pass aliquoi' saloon; have never seen a policeman in that neigh- borhood; have nothing against 0’- Reilly; think a saloon on the corner would disturb the peace of the neigh~ borhood; have one girl, 16 years of age, who would have to pass on her way to school ; property would not be as valuable. Cross examined: Don’t believe in selling liquor as a beverage anywhere ; never knew anyone to cross the street to av01d passing liquor stores. . Holmes : Live at 150 Main street. My opinion is that 168 is not pro- per place to sell liquor; don’t think any place in the suburbs a fit place for liquor to be sold; must necessarily effect the character of the neighbor- hood, would affect the morale of the children who pass, would also affect the value of prOperty; outside 0' police protection, and rum means a row. Cross examined: Never was called upon to remonstrate against George Low when near the school house; would have signed 50 if I had been called upon;. don’t recollect how long ago since George Low kept there. Alfred Avison : Live at 158 Main street; carry on meat business and live up stairs at that place ; don’t think 168 suitable place to sell liquor; We have not proper police protection and it is a private residence part of town; think they should be in the centre of town where they could be attended to; would be a damage to pi'Operty; people don’t want to locate in the neighbor- hood of a saloon; will be objection- able on account. of the children; a number of my customers. women and children, come past O’Beillv’s store. Cross examined: Thought saloons should be kept in center of village: never made objection to Mr. Lowe’s sa- loon. ' At this point an adjournment was taken until 1 o’clock, when the hearing was again renewed. and Attorney Lock- wood presented a petition in the nature of a supplementary remonstrance, the reading of which was objected to by Attorney Hurlbutt, but after consider- able time had been spent by the law- yers, in wrangling/the commissioners heard the petition. After the reading the remnnstranw’ counsel asked for an adjournment of half an hour, after which time he announced that his side rested. _ - Franz Kocour was the first witness called for Q’Beilly. and did not know of any objection to O’Beilly’s place whatever. Cross examined: Did not own real estate, and was not a tax-payer. C. B. Coolidge: Was a real estate agent; saw no reason why O’Beilly’s place was not suitable if liquor was to be sold anywhere. Cross examined: Besides on High street; no saloons on that street, but several handy ; thought that place op- posite his residence, if conductedprop- erly, would be suitable. DanielConley: Besides at 184 Main street;did not think O’Beilly’s place unsuitable. ' Cross examined: Was engaged in public work by Court of Burgesses; was hired by Mr. Bowe; Mr. O’Beilly was one of the bui'gesses. Bernard Cummings: Besides at 28 Harriet street; owned house; liVed there 13 years; been employed by horse railroad company for 28 years; thought O’Lteilly had as good a right to sell liquor as anybody. _ Samuel Daskam: Been acquainted in N orwalk 65 years: thought the loca- tion suitable because the town had voted for license, and if O’Reilly wanted to add to hisgrocery businesshe should have the right to. . Cross examined: Had no property in his own name ; lives on Eastavenue. George Wendlingz. Besided at 28 Plymouth avenue ; was a baker; thought place suitable as any. Cross examined: Had one child, a girl, aged a year and a half. Edward Finnegan: Resided 32 Cen- ter avenue; owns O’Beilly’s store : thought the place suitable to sell liquor in. Cross examined: Was a cousin of O’Reilly and was formerly in business With him ; propositions had been made to him by customers, when he was in the grocery business, to sell liquor, but he had never had a talk with O’Beilly about the -matter; did not diSSolve partnership because O’Beilly wanted to sell liquor. , Daniel Deering: Besides at 185 Main street; thought place suitable for the sale of liquor. Cross examined i His occupation was‘ ‘working on the Borough.” William Sheehan: Besides at 23 Plymouth avenue; thought place suit- able for the sale of liquor. Cross examined : Was the father-in- law of O’Beilly; owned no property; worked for the Borough. Patrick Burk: Besides at23 Har- riet street for 26 years; thought place suitable for the sale of liquor. Cross examined : Was no relative of O’Beilly;’ did not work for the B0- rough; O’Beilly could break the law without his seeing it from his house. Edward Shannon: Had lived in Norwalk for 22 years; thought O’Beilly’s place a suitable one, and that such a place was needed there. Cross examined : Owned no real es- tate: rented his place of residence. William Banker: Beside over O’Beilly’s store; thought place suita- ble for the sale of liquor. Cross examined: Was a bar-tender; had an application filed with the Com- missioners for a license for himself. Patrick Keating : Besides at 34 Har- riet street ; thought the place suitable for the sale of liquor. Cross examined : Did not think any- one Would get drhnk in O’Reilly’s place, as they did not have people of that kind in that neighborhood; the transient trade would‘not amount to much; occassionally got intoxicated himself ; thought the place suitable under all circumstances. , Chief Gormley: Besides at 47 Bel- den avenue ; thought O’Beilly’s place a suitable one to sell liquor in. Cross examined : Was present in Court of Burgesses room when his appoint- ment as Chief of Police was made; nomination was made by O’Bcilly ; his experience had been that the outlying portions of the town were quiet ; had patrolled Main street when he wasa patrolman. four nights out of six ; did not persionally know whether street was patrolcd every night now or not; detailed the police to patrol that street and they reported that they had done so; did not know personally, whether they go there or not ; did'not follow them around to see if they did patrol the street. Daniel McCarthy: Besides at 34 West Main street; his mother Owned property on Harriet street; thought the O’Reilly place a suitable one in which to sell liquor. Cross examined : Was a hatter; worked at South Norwalk; the place would not be a suitable one if it was not conducted according to law ; could not name a saloon from which drunken men did not come out. Patrick Kearney : Besides at 7 Ply- mouth avenue; was a stone mason; owned property which wasmortgaged ; thought O’Beilly’s place suitable for the sale of liquor.

Burr: Besides at 24 Cen- ter avenue; was a burgess; had lived in neighborhood 50 years; thought 0’- Beilly’s place as suitable for the sale of liquor as any in Nor walk. Cross examined: Saloons are con- ducted according to law; have seen drunken men go in and out of saloons ; they might go in and out of O’Beilly’s place; if they did and drunken men should fight in front. of the place,would still think it suitable; see policemen most every night in that neighborhood; have not seen more policemen there than usual, since O’Reilly’s application for a license was made. Officer Adams: Besides at 67 Ear— bor avenue ; thought the p‘ace as suita- ble as any in town for the sale of liquor; street is patroled. Cross examined: Street is patroled bythree different officers,- patroled it tw1ce himself Sunday night; did not meet anyone he knew on either trip; had had no talk with O’fieilly about license application; or paneling the LEADS in'ADVE Ensure 1, Wants, I Cent a'Word. ell-21:. Price One Cent, street since the last hearing before the . Commissioners; patroled the stree once Friday night and once Thursday night ; saw no one he knew either night. James H. O’Beilly, the rpplicant for the license, was the next witness. Mr. O’Beilly stated that he kept a grocery store at the present time and had many lady customers. His trade had asked him to put in liquors and he wanted a grocer’s license; he did not want a reg- ular liquor license and did not intend to put in a bar; it was not his intention to keep an ordinary bar room but he wanted to be able. should a friend call on, him. to sell him a glass of beer or a . drink of yhiskey ; thought his place was suitable in every way. Cross examined : If his license was granted he did not know of anything 7 that would be in it that could prevent ' his selling over the bar should he change his mind on the subject, but he was willing to have a proviso prevent- - ing him from so doing, put in the license; had not delivered any kind of liquor from his store; had a customer who was sick and had gotten a half case of beer for him down town and taken it to his house; had not done it since his application for a license has been filed.

The next regular attraction to appear at the Opera House will be the. cele- brated Yankee Comedy “Uncle Josh Spruceby.” The play is on. the order of the “Old Homestead,” “County Fair,” and other rural plays, but con- taining much more comedy than either. The drama, while brimfull of the humor- ous side of New England rural life,_‘is pleasantly and agreeably free from any of. that “Horse play” so frequently _ seen in the alleged Comedy. In con- nection with the company is avery fine Band and Orchestra containing twelve solo musicians. On Tuesday, Dec. lst, about noon, the band will make a unique and amusing parade, each mem- ber dressed in the garb of a down east hay-seed, direct from Onion County, Vermont. . ——————— ~49 9.3 986 'qeeiis IIBAA 18 191111310 9.9[d09c1 'inehioN 11; 59am; iseoiu eqo, inch no.f sselufl— suu. peas 1.UOCl ~09 DEATH IN A FLAMING HOTEL. One Person Burned to a. Crisp and Three Others Suffocated. JAMESTOWN, N. Y., Oct. ilk—A fatal fire in which four persons lost their lives oc- - curred here shortly after midnight. At about 1 o’clock flames were discovered in the kitchen of the Old Homestead, a hotel at Third and Pine streets. An alarm ‘was turned in and the department responded promptly, but the building was entirely destroyed, nothing but the walls remain- lng standing. It was not known for an hour after the fire broke out that all the occupants had not escaped. A fireman in working his way into the building stumbled over the charred body of Maggie Wilson, a waitress, twenty years old, whose relatives reside in Derrick City, Pa. It is said her escape was cut off by a. bolted door. _ ‘ The bodies of three other persons were found in the room where the servants slept. None of them was burned, but all had been suffocated. They were Mrs. Bu- chanan, the pastry cook, who came from the Riddell House, in Bradford, to this city; her little boy, who came to visit his mother yesterday and remained over night, and Mrs. Marsh, a dish washer. Mrs. Buchanan and her boy were locked in each other’s arms near the door of the room. Mrs. Marsh was found dead in bed. ‘ ‘ , Anumber of the hotel guests escaped- by jumping from the windows in their night clothes. The blaze was so sudden that they had not time to put anything ad- 7 ditional on. None is reported injured, though all were much frightened. The loss on the building is about $6,000. The hotel was conducted by Snowden 8; Tompkins. Their loss on contents is about $6,000; insured for $3,000. The Grand Central restaurant suffered considerable. loss by water.
