An Unfortunate Marriage Dissolved- The Commercial Cable brings from Lei‘rdon to-day, news of the death of Algernon Charles Sartoris in Capri. When this young Briton came to America. many years ago and took back as his bride the daughter of Gen- eral Grant the event naturally awak- ened international interest. How un- fortunate the alliance proved is a familiar story. After his engagement to Miss Nellie, he became so brutal and offensive in his remarks about her as to shock even the sporting element With which he mainly associated in Wash- ington, and on several occasions had his face slapped and was kicked out doors by his indignant associates. The only excuse ever offered for his dis- graceful conduct was his inebriety. The union was a terrible sorrow to General Grant, who foresaw the lam- entable results of the misalliance. The parties have not lived together for sev- eral years, but the parents of Mr. Sar- tOiis have constantly adhered to the wife and virtually ostracised the dissi. pated and wayward son. The widow will continue to reside in England with her young children. On her side, the marriage was the result of one of those mysterious and unaccountable “ love-at- ‘first-sightf” infatuation and the ardor of l her intense affection for Sartoris never suffered diminution because of his mis- conduct. They first met on the steam- er iu mid-ocean. ‘ .9. TERSE TALES OF THE TIMES. After March 1st it will be Chief Dunn. . It was as wet last night as a sponge in a barrel of water.

As was expected, the second regular meeting of the new Court of 'Burgesses last evening, was not without very en- tertaining if not altogether pleasing features. It was 7.45 o’clock when Warden Sloan rapped the gavel on the execu- tive table and called the Court to order' with Burgesses Glover, Fillow, Squire, Buckley and Chinery in their respec- tive pews, Burgess Vogel’s chair being vacant. . - , Ex-clerk J. Belden Hurlbutt occu- pied the clerk’s chair and assistant clerk Weed that of ex—assistant Lock- wood, while clerk-elect Hubbell occu- pied a chair near those of the reporters of the GAZETTE and Sentinel, apparent- 1y waiting for the music to commence. Nor had he long to wait, for on the opening of the meeting ex-clerk Hurl- butt announced that he was in readi- ness to read the minutes of the previous meeting and take those of the present. Just then and there Burgess Squires made a motion that the reading of the minutes be dispensed with for the time being. _ Burgess Buckley did not favor the motion, and insisted that the minutes should be read as usual. The Court was there to do business in the usual manner, and he was in favor of having the minutes of the previous meeting read by Mr. Hurlbutt. A vote prevailed that a. reading of the same be dispensed with, Burgesses Fil- low, Glover and Squire voting in the affirmative. A resolution was then presented in substance that James T. Hubbell is hereby appointed Clerk of the Borough of Norwalk. ' Burgess Glover‘ explained that the resolution was offered because of a feel- ing'that at the time Mr. Hubbell was elected clerk it was not specified that he was elected other than Clerk of the Court of Burgesses. - Burgess Buckley claimed that Mr. Hubbell was not legally elected nor could he be other than by the vote of four members of the board, as declared on the authority of the Borough attor- ney. The Democratic members of the board he said had resorted to ingenious methods to carry their point as regard- ed Mr. Hubbell’s election. He himself was for the best interests of the Bor- ough in all his acts ; there was no pre- ' cedent for the past action of the pres- ent Court; their action was old fash- ioned, not right, and he did not like it. Burgess Chinery thought the Court ought to act as business. men should; he did not approve of the resolution. The motion that Mr. Hubbell be ap- pointed Borough Clerk prevailed, and he was immediately sworn in by J us- tice Fred. Mead who opportunely hap- pened to be present. Burgess Buckley then offered his reSignation, and also presenting that of Burgess Vogel in writing, arose from h1s chair and with some remark that escaped the GAZETTE reporter,bade the Court a gentlemanly “good evening” and left the room. Warden Sloan then asked Clerk Hurlbutt to turn over the records of the Court to Mr. Hubbell but he re- fused, for reasons, to do so. And right here came in the most dramatic situation of the evening. Warden Sloan then asked to have the records turned over to himself and Mr. Hurlbutt acceded. As soon as they were in his hands, Mr. Sloan passed them to Mr. Hubbell. Then Mr. Hurlbutt spoke of the act, as he thought, to be a very ungentlemanly o_ne._ He said he had no unfriendly feelings towards the Warden or the clerk elect. He considered himself the clerk until his successor had been legally appointed; Was willing‘to try issues in the matter ; and was ready to take the consequences of his action in the matter; had no unfriendly feeling ; was Willing to act openly and manly; had no’_ objection to repeal of by~law governing the point upon which his claim to still be Borough clerk was based. The Warden then returned the records to him, and there was a “cessa- . tion of hostilities.” ‘ Burgess Glover, then presented the following resolution : Resolved, That J. Belden Hurlbutt who was elected clerk of the Borough for 1892 deliver over all the books in his possession belonging to the Ber-I ough to his successor and that the ser- vices. of said Hurlbutt are, no longer required. Clerk Hubbell had in the meantime seated himself in a chair near assistant clerk Weed and for at ’leastgonce in its history the Court of Burgesses of the "Borough of Norwalk had two clerks and one assistant. ' Alarge crowd had by this time as- sembled in the lobby of the court room, all interested in the proceed- ings, but as the introduction of other business later on proved more .intent on the solution of the police problem. The following bills were ordered paid: A. DeForest, $77.53; Wallace Dann, $60; A. A. Martin, $60.50 ; Geo. Northrop, $56; L. R. June, $8; Chas. Gehebe, $4; Chas. Addison, $8 -; W. H.

Burritt, $5.91; F.‘ Mc- $K1%on, $4 ;, F1110w,~-$6.36 ; M. Buttery, A number of bills were referred to the chairman of finance committee. The bond of William .E. Montgom-‘ cry, as Borough Treasurer . with T. S. Vanderhoef and Frederick. Mead as sureties, was accepted. The nominations of the officers of Hope Hose company were ratified, as ' f0r_$10,000 , was. also that of John H. Hoyt as Su- perintendent of the fire alarm system. A_ communication from -G. Willis White in reference to the unauthorized use of salt on sidewalks for the purpose of relieving‘the same of ice was read and tabled after Burgess Glover made the statement that the Horse-railway used tons of salt for the same purpose where the merchants used pounds; The report of the chief of police was read and accepted. There were 15 ar- rests last monthl’and 254 tramps were given lodglngs. ' ' The resignation of William A. Vogel as burgess was then read and tabled. The bill of George Wendling for $18.50 damage done to even by the in- troduction of the sewer system on Wa- ter street was referred to highway com- mittee. Aresolution asking that all bills un- der one hundred dollars be paid on the order of the borough clerk withoutfi previous action by the court, was promptly decided to be out of order. .Aletter was read, signed by Mayor Marigold of Bridgeport, inviting the Warden to attend a meeting of the dif- ferent mayors in the State at Hartford, to talknp the matter of electric railway franchises. The following bids were‘received for work on. the streets with teams: I’. W. Bates, Single team per day, $3 or 30 cents per~hour ; double teams, $4. 50. A. Bach, single, $2.70, 27 cents per hour; double, $4, 40 cents perhour. I. Hall, single, $2.70, 30 cents per hour; double, $4, 40 cents per hour. D. Connelly, single, 2.69, 27 cents per hour ; double, $3.50, 37 cents per hour. The chairman of highway committee was authorized to give contract to low- est bidder. The chairman of the finance commit- tee was authorized to borrow $1,500 for the use of the borough. ' The sum of $100 was voted to chair- man of highway committee for current expenses. . The applications of the following gen- tlemen for appomtments on the police force were read : Timothy J. Howard. Frank P. Nelden. J. S. Nooney, Jarvis S. Murray, John Tully, George L. Nor- throp, Charles N. Lynch, Robert N. Morehouse, Albert DeForest, A. L. Lincoln, Lewis B. June, A. A. Martin, Wallace Dann and Walter Smith. On motion the court proceeded to ballot for chief of police. Five ballots were taken with the following result: 1st ballot—Wallace Dann, 3 ; R N . Morehouse, 1. 2d ballot—Wallace Dann, 2; A. De- Forest, 1; R. N. Morehouse, 1. 3d‘ballot—Wallace Dann, 3 ; R. N. Morehouse, 1. 4th ballot—Wallace Dann, 2; R. N. Morehouse, 1; A. A. Martin, 1. 5th ballot—Wallace Dann, 2 ; George Northrop, 1 ; Timothy HGWard, 1. Burges Glover then made a motion that the election of the police be defer- red until the next meeting of the court, but afterward withdrew his motion. It was then voted to repeal that part of section 2, Chapter IV of the By- Laws which reads : “ But no officer shall be appointed or removed without the assenting vote of four burgesses.” The resolution in reference to the ap- pointment of James T. Hubbell was then again introduced and passed, and Mr. Hubbell for the second time dur- ing the meeting was sworn in as bor- ough clerk. " Right here ex-Clerk Hurlbutt turned the records over to Mr. Hubbell to- gether with the keys of the borough safe deposit vault, etc., and smilingly bidding adieu to the court, managed to elbow his way through the crowd and out of the room. He had carried his- point. The court then proceeded to the e1ec~ tion of chief of police, and Wallace Dann receiving four votes was declared elected. A. A. Martin received four votes on the first ballot for first patrolman, and was elected. , Timothy Howard fared the same in the vote for second patrolman. In the first ballot for third patrol-' man, George Northrop received 2; J ar- vis Murray, 1 ; G. Martin, 1. The sec- ond ballot resulted in three for North- rop and one for Tully. Northrop was declared elected. Lewis B. June and J. Tully were elected special policemen. ' The salaries of the different borough officers were made the same as last year. It was voted that the Warden attend. the meeting of the mayors in Hartford for the purpose previously mentioned, at the expense of the borough, and that the clerk attend the meeting ,of the electric railway committee under the same conditions. It was voted that the newly elected officers of the police force be notified by the borough clerk to commence duty “March lst. _ The court ad'ourned to meet Tues- day evening, arch 1st at 8 o’clock. ...'..—.—— Taken to Fort Trumbull.

The books of the Consolidated road close on Tuesday, February 28, at the ' close of busmess that day, and will re- main closed through March. As scan as the list of stockholders is made .‘up' ‘ warrants Will be mailed to each stock- holder for the amount that he is en- ' titled to subscribe for. These will be‘ in sums of $1,000, $100, and fractions of $100. Treasurer Squire’s circular explains that the holder of seven shares Will get two warrants for $100 each and one for the_ balance, $80. The stock-- holder can in a blank on the back of each warrant either subscribe for it or -asmgn his right. Treasurer Squire says in his circular that rights to subscribe will not accrue to any stockholder until after Febru- ary 28, when the books close. Already there aremany transaction in the so- called "rights” at about 21. This, as explained the other day, would make one of these $100 warrants worth about $152.50 when paid in full and make it worth $52.50 to sell before paying what it calls for to the company. The odd parts of warrants must eventually be adjusted among stockholders, as the company will deal only with even hun- dreds and thousands. USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA,IT’S “THE KIND THAT CURES.” -——<+ Wicked Needles. . An ordinary sewing needle is an innocent looking article when in com- pany With others of its ilk in a paper. To the thoughtful wife though, it. is a source of great comfort to her and greater satisfaction to the husband pro- v1ded of course it is used in. sewing o a suspender button or engaged in “a stitch in time to save nine.” But then a needle is a wicked instrument and cannot be handled with impunity. We have in mind one of the wicked kind which yesterday afternoon gave scope to its wickedness in a wicked manner. Mrs. Tyler Waters had been using this particular needle and laid it aside With some ravelings on a window sill. Seemingly this needle resented being laid aside, for when Mrs. Waters picked the ravelings up and rolled them between her two hands preparatory to throwing them in the fire the needle dove head first’with a yard of thread in its mouth straight into the palm of Mrs. Waters’ right hand, where it broke off at the waist and sent the rest part' of its body into the lady’s left . hand causing a bloody wound. But it was the main part of the needle that gave Mrs. Waters the most concern and being unable to extricate it from her hand she visited Dr. Dexter Hitch- cock who had to make an incision in her hand before the needle could be taken out. It will be some days before the hand will be of any service.
