Obituary.
MAJOR THOMAS M. NEWSON.
Major Thomas McLean N ewson
whose death last week at Malaga,
Spain, was published yesterday was
born in New York City, Feb. 22, 1827,
of Scotch-Irish parentage. His pater-
nal grandfather was paymaster in the
army during the war of 1812. His
father, Capt. George Newson, com-
mended a military company in New
York for seventeen years. Three un-
cles were in the war of 1812. His father
removed to New Haven in 1832, where
his wife died in 1834. and he died in
1838. After his parent-5’ death Major
Newson attended school with the edi<
tor of the GAZETTE. When he left
school he learned the printer’s trade
and on arriving at his majority en-
tered into partnership with John B.
Hotchkiss in the publication of the
Derby Journal, in Birmingham, where
he passed'the greater part of his early
manhood, boarding for many years in
the family of the famous Clara Louise
Kellogg, the great singer. He also orig-
inated and published the first penny pa-
per ever issued in Connecticut. He was
the first secretary of the first editorial
association ever held in Connecticut,and
was one of the originators of the move-
ment in this state, as well as of the state
reform school. He went to St. Paul,
M1Dn,, in 1853, where he was connec-
ted Wlth the Pioneer and Daily Times,
out of which grew the St. Paul Pioneer
Press. He was one of the founders of
the Republican party in Minnesota and
was sole delegate of his party in Min-
nesota to the Pittsburg National con-
vention.
Says the St. Paul Globe: “Far from
home, in a foreign land, and surround-
ed only by those friends of a foreign
nation whom he had met and made in
his official capacity as consul at Mal-
aga, Spain, he passed" away. There
was no kindly hand present to smooth
the way, and no friendly voice to soothe
the last hours of him who claimed St.
Paul as .his home. Alone and friend-
l‘pss he died, but as the darkening pall
gedeath spread its shadowy wings over
. Spanish town and wrapped his
spirit in its fold, the message that
flashed over the wires and brought the
news to Minnesota carried sorrow into
many homes in St. Paul.” Major New-
son was married to Miss Harriet D.
Brewer in Albany, N. Y., in 1857, and
leaves a family of one son and five
daughters, one of the latter, Miss May
N ewson, and the editor of the GAZETTE
being the last to bid him adieu as he
sailed away from home and friends in
the summer of 1891.
On the death of Henry Clay, Major
Newson wrote a beautiful poem, which
was set, to music and sung on the re-
ception of the news .of the demise of
the great statesman, the opening and
closmg stanzas of which expresses the
friendship and love of those left be-

l MYSTERIOUS SHOT. '
—_————
A Wilton Woman Receives a Bullet
' In Her Head.
But One Witness of the S'hooting.
. Mrs. Sarah Moriarty, aged 70 years,
lies at the point of death at her home
in Wilton, with a bullet wound in her
head. She was engaged in picking up
some faggots in the woods at Huckle-
berry Hills, about 5 o’clock yesterday
afternoon, when she suddenly'heard
the sound of a pistol and felt a sharp
stinging sensation in her head; and
dropped to the ground unconscious.
The woman was 'picked up and taken
to her home and a physician summon-
ed. It is not thought she will survive.
The only witness of the deed was 'the
woman’s grand-dang ter, who was so
frightened that she is unable to give a
yery connected account as to how the
shooting happened. From a descrip-
tion she gives of the man, he was about
5 feet 6 inches tall, wore dark clothes,
and had a short black mustache. He
wore shoes. No cause can be assigned
for the shooting.

Inspector Curtis turned in 354,32 re-

ordered to turn over to the treasurer.
Mr. Ira Cole and Others presented a.
petition for a sewer on Elmorest. . Mr.
Cole was present and explained that
there was already water on the avenue,
and stated that he would give the-bor-
ough the right of way to lay the sewer
through his property as that wouldbe
the most feasible way of counseling
with the present sewerage s stem, and
that the proliosed sewer con dbc made
to connect with sewers on both Wood-
bury and Stuart avenues, and estima-
ted the cost about $900. On motion of
Burgess Glover the matter was referred
to the committee on sewers, to report
at a future meeting.
William A. ' Pryor was heard on the
subject of Riverside avenue ‘being'uscd
as a dumping ground for garbage, etc.,
and complained that the stench there.
from was not only annoying but harm;
ful to the public health. . .
Arthur Wheeler and others peti-
tioned for a sewer on Butler street to
connect with the Orchard street'sewer.
He'said that the matter 1' had been
brought befcrc previous courts, but
nothing had been done because of the
condition of the street at the time, but
that GVil had been remedied and that
it was now practicable to lay. a sewer
on the street. He said therebwas a pri-
vate sewer running from the’straw fee-1
301W to the salt meadows, but that the
Pr0perty through which it ran was sub-
ject to sale at any time, and at which
time the sewer would have to be closed.
The petition was referred to the com-
mittee on sewers. .
A petition was received asking for a
water main on Stevens street. The pro-
ject was recommended by the water
commissioners. It was stated that the
cost of 6 in. pipe would be $485 and a 4
111- pipe $325, the latter of which it was
not believed by Engineer Wood would
be suflicient in size to guarantee the
needed service. On motion of Burgess
911111er the water commissioners were
instructed to lay a six inch pipe at a
cost not in excesss Of $485.
Mr. Ira Cole stated that Woodbury
avenue had never been presented to the
borough, that he had had it graded at
his own eXpense, and now offered , the
avenue to the bordugh. On motion of
Burgess Glover the matter was referred
to the highway committee.
The bond of William McMullen for
$500, as borough bailiff, and Signed by
Michael McMullen was accepted and
ordered on file.
An invitation for the Warden and
Court to attend the O. U. A; M. and
00. D. fair at the Armory on military
night was read and accepted. .
The report of the chief of police was
read and ordered on file. He reported
31 arests, 27 of which. were males; .he
also reported $82.78 in fees as being
turned over to the borough during the
past month. _
A communication was received from
Contractor Blakeslee asking that the
Belgian pavement on Main street be
cleaned he to bear his share of the cost
of doing the same, and that he would
then complete his contract. The mat-
ter was refered to committee on high-
Ways. .
The report of the borough auditors
was read and accepted.
A communication was received from
Attorney Joseph A. Gray asking that
a committee be appomted to assess
damages and benefits for the grading
of Butler street. Burgess Glover was
of the opinion that there were no dam-
ages made by the improvement. and
did not see the necess1ty of appointing
a. committee as asked. Clerk Hubbell
thought it a safer plan to appomt the
committee after which Warden Sloan
appoioted Messrs. Benjamin L. Fillow,
David Sheehan and Alfred E. Austin as
such committee. ~ ‘ .
The chairman of the finance commit-l
tee was instructed to borrow $1,000 on
the account of the borough, and give
note for same. . .
The chairman of the committee on
highways suggested that a catch basm
be blaced at the corner of Chestnut
and School streets. After some rc-
marks as to the difference in the cost of
a large and small one, on motion of
Burgess Glover it was voted that the
sewer committee be instructed to have
a large sized catch basin placed at that
point, at as small a price as posmble.’
Burgess Fillow thought that Pine
and Henry streets ought to be accept-
ed and worked by the borough. Bur-
gess Squire'was of the Opinion that the
expense would not be in excess of $50.
Burgess Glover did not think it adVls-
able to order the work done until the
street was opened the full length. It
was the sense of the Court that if
owners of property on .
‘give the right of way it sho be
worked. The motion to' work the
street as it now is was lost.
property owners
the street would.
Mr. E. J. Hill then asked to be heard
in the matter ofthe Tramway company.
He said that the rails, ties, etc., for
the railroad were here, and the con-
tractors would probably go to work at
once ;‘ the road would be extended to
Roton Point and the foot OfSpring
Hill; The question, however of the
most importance to the company just
now was the grading of Mill Hill. He
said that Engineer Hill was present
with a map of what the company
wished to do at that point, and pre-
sented the following resolution :’
RESOLVED, That the application of the Nor-
walk Tramway Co. for a change of grade and
lay-out of its track in the Vicinity of Mill Hill.
that while this board does not formally alter
and change said grade and lay-out it will not
object to the chn nges indicated and s _ecified
by the company’s engineer, Mr. A._B. ill, and
shown upon _a map submitted by him, said map
to be filed With the clerk. of this board. all of
the grading to be done in the street b said
company With no expense to the boroug 1, ex.
cept in the change of the water pipes and the
protection of the Sidewalks,_ which shall not
6 a part of the work devolvmg upon the rail-
road company, but which shall be cared for by
the Borough,_proyided said Railroad Company
shall leave said highwa and also the street
known as Smith street. in all respects as shown
on said map and also provrded the material
removed and not needed in Smith street shall
be deposited by said company where designa-
ted by the hi hway committee at a. distance
from the wor of not more than one thousand
feet upon any of the Boroughihi hways, if said
committee so desires, and provi ed that travel
is not Obstructed upon said Mill Hill in mak—
ing finch changes for a longer period than one
W80 . '
Engineer Hill said that the company
was willing to do anything reasonable
in the matter, and showed a map of the
wished for changes. He said that with
a ten. per cent. grade 9. single motor
would not work satisfactory at that
point in the winter season, and this
could be avoided by reducing to a 7
per cent. grade. It was proposed to
cut down 4ft. 6 inches at top of hill.
Had seen most of the property owners
'and theyhad no objection to the im-
provements. , If the company could not
get what it "asked for and he thought
they were not asking anything un-
reasonable, the building of the Train.
way to this point would probably be
delayed some time. He said that the
company would make the. grade what-
ever was desired by the borough.
Ex-Warden Keeler was in favor of
the petition being granted, as was also
Frederick Mead, t e latter of whom
thought the borough could afford to
pay $1,000 for the improvement, which
he considered worth several thousand
dollars to the borough. _
Burgess Glover felt positive that
damages would be wanted by parties
owning property on the hill, and moved
that the matter be deferred for investi-
gation. . _
Burgess McMullen was of the opinion
that the mattercould be settled in two
hours by conferring with interested
‘ Mr. Hill said that the secretary-and.
treasurer of the company would be in
town to-day and would no doubt be
glad to meet the members of the Court
and look over the ground. _
The matter was deferred for action
until next Monday evening.
Burgess Fillow reported that the re-
taining wall asked for by Raymond
Bros. at a point near Orchard street
and Harbor avenue, would propably
cost $200. It was referred back to
the highway committee to get esti-
mate of cost.
It was voted to “patch up” the re-
taining wall on River street that caved
in some days since. It was thought
that it would cost $1,000 'to place the
wall in a first-class condition.
Burgess Squire suggested that here-
after the cleaning of the catch basms
be done by contract instead of as now
by the day’s work. .
The chairman of the sewer commit-
tee was instructed to secure bids for
the cleaning of the catch baSins, and
report at the next meeting of the Court.
Burgess Chinery reported that there
were two electric light 'or telegraph
poles on Cross street setting out so far
on the street that travel was made dan—
gerous. The chairman of the commit‘
tee on lights was instructed to have
them removed.
Burgess Chinery brought up the
question as to whether Contractor Shel-
don at the time he was appomted to in-
spect the laying of the Belgian. pave-
ment, on Main street, he . was also
appointed to inspect the laying of the
macadam pavement on the same street.
The clerk read the vote passed at the
time Mr. Sheldon was appomted but it
contained no reference whatever to ma-
cadam. _ .
Burgess Mullen said that he’did not
think it necessary to have an inspector
and that it was a ’waste of money.
On motion of Burgess Sutherland a
vote was passed appomting William
Sheldon inspector of the laying of the
macadam pavement on Main street, he
to receive $4 a day when actually em-
ployed. . .
William Sheldon said that complaints
had been made to him of the careless-
ness in covering blasts by Contractor
Blakeslee’s men at Blue Mountain
where the material for the macadamiz-
ing of Main street is being crushed. He
thought that something ought to be
done by the Court in the matter.
Health Inspector McKeon was heard.
He asked for permission to publish an
advertisement warning property own-
ers to care for the garbage, etc. that
had accumulated about the premises.
His request was granted.
