_ THE FAVORITE HOME PAPER. '
lllOGDtlllltlll in all llllllZS: Neutral Ill llOlllllll.
.The Gazette has the largest cir-
culation of any paper In Norwalk.
and furnishes the lowest advertising
The New Justice.
The President has put an end to the
suspense as to whom the successor to
the late Justice Blatchford would be by
sending to the Senate the name of Wil-
liam B. Hornblower of New York. .
From a professional point of view the
nomination is doubtless an excellent
one. While Mr. Hornblower’s abilities
have not madeghim particularly con-
spicuous at the bar,it is understood that;
they have secured him a large and pro-'
fitable practice for one so young—his
age being only forty-two. He is regard-‘
ed as a sound, safe lawyer.

A Foolish Remark.
At the meeting of the Court of Bur-
witt of the fire department presented a
request for a new suction pipe for the
discussion which arose over the request
Burgess McMullen made use of the re~
mark,“You had better throw the steam
fire engine in Long Island sound.” A
more foolish remark could not be con-
ceived of. The steam fire engine is the
most valuable adjunctto our fire depart-
ment. Suppose for instance that dur-
ing a drought or an accident to our
water works a conflagration should
ough, where would we be without the
services of the steamer ? It is all right
to condemn a valuable piece of fire ap-
paratus where there is no fire, but we
believe that in case of a fire in one of
Burgess McMullen’s houses during the
temporary disablement of our water
service, no man in town would dance
with greater glee than the Burgess,
when he saw the steamer drop a new
suction pipe into the factory pond and
proceed to extinguish the fire on his
property.
With a _due sense of Burgess McMul-
len’s herculean effort to decrease the
expenses of our tax-ridden Borough,we
would suggest to him that too much
money cannot be expended to properly
equip and keep in condition a first class
fire department.
It might-also be suggested to the Bur-
gess that the services of the members of
our fire department are' given to the
Borough gratis. The tax payers are
not called upon to pay for the clothing
spoiled by the members during their
services at fires, neither are they called
upon to pay the funeral expenses of
some brave fireman who has contracted
an incurable disease while fighting to
extinguish a fire in some taxpayers
building. In all kindness we would say
to Burgess McMullen, use your efforts .
to decrease the Borough expenses in
some other direction, and whenever the
Phoenix boys, or any other of our “fire
companies,ask for improvements or re-
pairs vote it to them willingly, for they
are deserving of all they get and more
too.

CAPITOL NOTES.
Senator Platt has returned from his
visit to Meriden, and was in his seat
again Monday.
The House is still fillibustering on
the Federal Election law.
The Ways and Means Committee was
occupied with coal, Monday.
Mr. Fred. Buckley left Tuesday for
Norwalk. He made a brief statement
Monday before the Ways and Means
Committee on the desirableness of
maintaining the present duty on elastic
web goods. A great number of argu-
ments have been heard by the Com-
mittee, and so great is the pressure for
further hearings that it is believed ,the
Committee will be forced to extend the
time limited at the outset for these.
tarifi‘ hearings. When an end of an.
guments is reached, the stenographer’s
notes'will be printed for the‘ use of , the
Committee, and will serve as the basis
of the new tariff bill to be reported to
Congress. .
Mrs. Joseph Cox left Washington for
Norwalk Tuesday, after having done
the World’s Fair and the Capital, city.
The Ways and Means Committeeis
already pretty well tired out. It sits
during the sessions Of the House and
listens day after day to long and dreary
arguments for and against changes in

constantly annoyed by the almost in-
variable habit of speakers consuming a
great deal more time than they asked

dented. A daily schedule of each
speaker’s time and their limit for oc-
cupying the Committee’s attention, is
prepared, but very few, thus far, have
kept within its fair and reasonable
limitations. It was left for a Connecti-
cut man to break the record, which he
did to the evident delight of the Com.
mittee. ,Mr. E. C. Ff'isbie, one 'of-
' a perfect master of his subject.
business men, got an allowance of ten
minutes, Friday evening, to urge a re-
duction of duty on Leibig’s Meat Ex-
tracts. He spoke as a thoroughly post-
ed man of affairs, who knew what he
was talking about, and showed himlszf
is
argument was clear, concise, incisive
and effectively to the paint. Not a re-
dundant word or useless 'figure was
employed ‘in his terse, crisp and yet
completely comprehensive address-
When he concluded,.he had spoken
just six minutes leavmg four minutes
to his credit! Yet no speaker during
all that long dag of weary_talk ha
more close] vhel the Committee’s in-
terested attention. To no _one did
theymore distinctly show their appre-
ciation of brevity. Mr. Frisbie’s hon-
orable conduct in new less instead'of
more time than was is due, as has
been so 'enerally done, was a‘matter
of favora le comment amongst those
who had suffered delay and inconveni-
enee by reason of this vexatious habit,
that seems to have become chronic, of
fiver-talking, before the Committee.

BUHgLiRY.
MP. Justus Raythd—of’Belden Hill
Assaulted.
His House Robbed.
Justus W. Raymond, of the_firm of
Raymond & Lockwood, the Main street
butchers, lives at Belden Hill, drivmg
to and from his place of business morn-
ing and night. Tuesday evening, as is
his custom he left the store shOrtly
after 6 o’clock for home. He is the
owner of two houses. the old home-
stead and the house at, present occupied
by himself, the former being unoccu-
pied. He was in the habit of stopping
at the first mentioned place to accom-
pan his sister home, she gomg there
to o the milking. 0n reaching there
his sister informed him that the house
had been broken into during the after-
noon, and- several articles stolen, among
others a gun. He then remembered
that he saw two men with a gun sitting
by the roadside and acting in a .sus-
picious manner. He immediately start-
ed back in his wagon, and catching up
to the men, questioned them, first say-
ing, “Hello, fellows, what are you do-
ing here.” Whereupon one of the
men struck him and he struck back,
knocking the fellow down. He knew
that the gun was loaded, and kept close
to them for fear that they might shoot.
He managed to get possession of the
gun, and the men ran into some bushes
out of sight. . _
It then occurred to him to see if he
could recognize them, and hitching his
horse he took his cane, a stout one, in
his hand and went back, and as he
uld see no one he was retracing his
steps when the two men jumped‘out' of
the bushes and one of them cried out,
“Here’s the ~-— e— ——, let’s. kill
him,” and one of them dealt him a
blow which was returned by Mr. Ray-
mond, and the fellow dropped as if
struck with a club._ he other man
then clinched with him and they both
rolled down the bank, Raymond on
top. While he was down, he was kicked
in the breast and about the head and
arms. A boy happened to come along
at this time and he gave an alarm
and George Rider and William Josephs
came to the rescue, and the men turned
and fled, but not before they Were rec-
ognized as Dan Gantley and Thomas
Cook.
Mr. Raymond then came here and
swore out a warrant fdr their arrest,
and the writ was placed in Constable
Motehouseis hands to serve. In com-
pany with ex-policeman Charles Adams,
he started after the men and finally lo-
cated Gantley at the Fair Grounds and
placing him under arrest handcuffed
him. They found Cook at his home
and arresting him brought both of the
men to the station-house and locked
them 11 ,. -' .
Mr. fie mend is at his market this
mornin hut he has a frightful looking
face. is right eye is entirely closed
up and there is a large black and blue
swelling under it; there is abad cut on
his car, an ugly gash in his jaw, severe
wounds on his breast and black and blue
marks on his arms, giving evidence of
the terrible punishment he received,
Mr. Raymond would have been more
than a match for either of the men sin-
gly, and it is believed that both Will
have cause to remember that they tack-
led no coward. “ _
Both Gantley and Cook were mixed

w ich a man named Sturges was
stripped of his wearing apparel even to
his shoes, but they managed to escape
deserved punishment. It is to be hoped
that this time they will be given the
f full extent of the law.
An Original Trap.
New Canaan has at least one man
who is a genius. For some weeks past
he has been missing eggs from his hen-
nery. He has sat up nights and watched
for the thief but to no purpose. He fi-
nally decided that the thieving was be-
ing done by some species of a four-foot-
ed 811111.181. 8 mink or a weasel, he told
his wife. He did not own a gun_ nor
neither could he have shot to kill if he
had been possessed of a gun, Neither
did he have a trap of any kind: Like
most geniuses he scratched his head
and set his brain at work. Suddenly he
jumped to his feet and exclaimed “ Eu—
reka l ” It had occurred to him_ that
his wife had a tabby with four kitten-
ish kittens. Why not set her, (tabby, ).
in the hennery. That night tabby and
her family were transferred to the coop.
The next morning he early hied to the
trap as he called it. A pungent smell
greeted his nostrils,and as he get near-
er it was almost stifling. He finally
courageously entered and saw, aye
smelled, every evidence that there had
been a battle. Two of the kittens were
dead, the other two were dying,andthe
mother didnot seem to be feeling very
well, but the villain who had caused it
all had escaped. It was nearly two
weeks before tabby regained her usual
health, but no amount of coaxing can
get her near the hennery. As for the
villain—well, he never came back. The
fruit of the hens had a peculiar flavor
for a day or two but as the owner did
not want them for home consumption
he cared but little, as what they lacks
in quality was made up in numerical
strength, and he is again happy. Tabby
now gets a double quantity of milk for
her breakfast.

Without the extravagant expenditure of

scheme is for the Repliblicans to appoint
three of their best meniias councilmen
and the Democrats to do likewise, these
men to appoint both a democratic and
republican mayOr and flip up a cent as
to which one of the two wins. How
the other city offices shall be provided
for he has not yet_ made public. By
this scheme he believes that the city
government would be, run in the in-
terest of the taxpayers and not of
thieves. .

Consolidated Tracks Patroiled.
Monday night the tracks of the New
York, New Haven? and Hartford rail-
road in the vicinity of Harrison, a
small town just over the state line, near
Greenwich, was patrolled by an armed
force of fifteen able-bodied men, who
were looking for tramps. The tramp
nuisance has become so great at Harri-
son that heroic measures were decided
upon to rid the town of the unwelcome
residents. ’
For some time the tramps have made
their headquarters in a. freight car near
the railroad station. In the daytime
they go out foraging and return to the
freight car at night. They have com-
mitted many depredatious hereabouts,
and the nuisance became so great that
women and children were afraid to
venture on the street alone at night.

To—day is Yom Kippur.
At sunset Tuesday began the most
important holiday in the Jewish calen-
dar. It is Yom Kippur, the day of
atonement. It will continue for twenty-
four hours and orthodox as well as re-
formed liebrews will observe the day
strictly. The manner of its observance
is peculiar and picturesque. ’
During the day a strict fast is kept
not even a drop of water is permitted
to moisten the lips. Wrapped in a
white robe, with shoes removed, the
pious Hrbrew sits silently in his syna-
gogue'acknowledging his sins and pray-
ing forgiveness.. The services in the
synagogue are impressive and continue
throughout the entire day. The “Safer
Torim” or holy writs are brought forth
and opened on the altars and the rabbis
chant the verses while the choirs sing
solemn music. -When the “shofar” or
trumpet is blown the fast is ended. -

Danbury Cases Tried.
The criminal superior court came in
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. The
trial of George H. Orso of Danbury
for the alleged theft of a watch belong-
ing to James H. Taylor was taken up.
At 5 o’clock the jury was dismissed un-
til to-morrow when Judge Wheeler will
make his charge. A sad feature of the
case was the testimony by which the
prisoner’s mother sought to shield him
and in which she persisted in spite of
Mr. Fessenden’s cross examination.
James Foley and John Ormond of
Danbury pleaded guilty to stealing $17
in bills from James Moore of the same
place and were sentenced to three
months each in the county jail and to
pay a fine of $1 and costs.
‘li Carpenter of Danbury, who was
brought into court on a bench warrant,
said by the advice of his counsel not
guilty to the charge of stealing the
goods of Solomon Meyer. Carpenter’s
wife, a very attractive looking colored
woman, is implicated with him.
Court adjourned until this morning.

forty selected vomes. The repertoire
of operas given by this company is
quite extensive and comprises the many

GOURT‘OF BURGESSES.
Burgess McMullen Asks Some Per-
tlnent Questions.
Only a Quorum Present.
An adjourned meeting of the Court
of Burgesses was held last evenin , but
it was five minutes after the usua time
for calling the meeting to order before
there was a quorum present. Burgess-
es Squire and Fillow" were absent. .
The first'business usually transacted
at the mid-month meeting of the board
is the payment of bills, in fact it is for
that purpose that the meetings are ad-
ourned, but of late nearly as much
usiness is transacted" as at regular
meetings. '
Warden Sloan remarked that there
were several visitors present and gave
them. an opportunity to be heard.
Chief Engineer rowitt stated that
the suction pipe to the steam fire en-
gine had become practically useless
and asked for a new one, and also con-
sidered the purchase of a relief valve
adVisable. Said he had alwa s tried to
keep down the . expenses of t e depart-
ment, but advrsed the purchase of the
above supplies. The entire cost would
be about $115.
Burgess McMullen asked as to how
often the steamer had been used within
the past few years. Had heard Bur-
gess Glover state at a borough meeting
that the expense of the department was
about $1,800a year. Did not believe
in the steamer, and that it would be
better to throw it into Long Island
sound than expendmoney upon it year
after year. Considered it useless in
case of fire, and was in favor of more
L
hydrants if necessary.
.Engineer Aiken stated that the suc-
tion pipe was weak when he took charge
of- the engine some seven or . eight
years ago, but .that at present it was
useless. Speaking of the relief valves
he said that they could be used either
on the steamer or on the hydrants.
Considered their purchase advisable if
only on the score of economy, they do.
ing away With the sudden strain on
both water and hose pipes when the
water was shut off after a fire.
On motion of Burgess Glover the
chair-man of the committee on fire was
authorized to purchase the suction‘pipe
and relief valve asked for.
A petition numeronsly signed asking
for the sewering of Spring Hill street
and side streets contiguous to f the
same was read by the. Warden.
Water Commissioner Coolidge urged
the adoption of the petition. To com-
mence with he said that at present the
drainage emptied into the street and
the gutters were oftentimes clogged up
with '_the worst kind of disease germs.
Physicians had ' told him a greater
amount of sickness in town was con-
fined to that section all for the want of
proper sewage. When sewers had been
placed in other and less pOpulated por-
tions of the town the residents of
Spring Hill street had paid their pro-
portion of the expense without grum-
bling, but now thought that they were
entitled to the same consideration as
other parts of the town. Said that the
sewer, if constructed, could be connec-
ted with the ovcrfiow at the reservoir
which would be of great advantage in
flushing a large portion of the borough
sewage system.
On motion of Burgess Sutherland the
petition was referred to the'chairman
of the committee’on sewers to get esti-
mates and report at the next meeting
of the Court of Burgesses.
A petition was received from the bag-
gage expressmen asking that a suitable.
place be provided for them where they
could leave their horses standing dur-
ing business hours. A member joking-
ly suggested Town House hill, after
which the petition was tabled.
The prayer of William H. Olmstead
to erect a frame building on property
adjoining that of Charles E. St. John
and Frank Beers was granted.
The recommendation of the Water
Commissioners that Charles Grupe be
appointed a special constable for the
protection of the borough property at
the reservoir in New Canaan was favor-
ably acted upon,an‘d Mr. Grupe was ap-
pointed. -
The followmg claim for damages
which was presented at a previous
meeting of the court and referred to
the borough attorney, was read togeth-
er w1th the attorney’s reply which fol-

Gniv'rnnMEN :—-With reference to this
claim of Mrs. Hall I have to advise
you that if the claimant received her
injuries by reason of a defect in the
highway or sidewalk, such defect was
not caused by any act of the borOugh
of Norwalk. If the borough settles
the claim it would have no right of ac-
tion againist the person who caused the
defect. If a suit is brought, the bor-
ough should notify the person who
made the walk or highway defective to
defend the action; and if he did not
defend, the borough should defend and
call on him to reimburse it.
I. must therefore advise the borough
not to pay anything on the claim.

Burgess McMullen, after the bills
had been disposed of, asked as to Why
the gravel thrown out in excavating for
the sewer on the turnpike had been
carted into the city of South Norwalk,
when it was needed on the streets of,
the borough. “ Who gave the city of
South Norwalk the power to cart it
away?” “Are you proud of the job? ”
“I am ashamed of the heads of this
governmentaand it is a shame the way
you are gorng on i ” were pertinent
questions asked by him.
Here, street inspector Curtis had a
say and told the Burgess that he had
“ better not be too personal.”
Whereupon the Warden rapped for
or or.
The chairman of the police commit-
tee was instructed to purchase three
overcoats and caps for the police force.
. The followmg estimates for the plac-
ing of a gamewell fire alarm box at the
corner of the New Canaan road and
Plattsville avenue were read: W. .
Burr, $218; Charles Riley, 8205; John
H. Hoyt, $158. The contract was
awarded to Mr. Hoyt.
Burgess Chinery reported that Chas.
Otham of Wilton avenue, had com-
plained to him that Frank Clark had a
shanty within fifteen feet of his,
Oth’am’s, residence, where he cooked
tar and he was afraid that there was
danger of fire to his place. Nothing
was done in the matter.
_ Burgess McMullen asked for informa-
tion as to how many sewer connections
had been made during the past year,
and what had been done with the
money cOlIected fer the same, and said
it was something the tax payers of the
borough ought to know.
Mr.- Curtis, who has» charge of such
connections, said that he did not know
the exact number, but that 3100 had
been paid over to the borough treas-
urer, and there were some collections
yet to be made. Would have the record
at the next meeting of the court if
wanted.
Burgess McMullen, chairman of the
committee on lights, reported that the
Norwalk and. South Norwalk Electric
Light compa‘n'y‘had refused to place an
electric light on‘the Step Rock road
without a written order from the court,
and clerk Hubbell was instructed to
consult with the company in reference
to the matter, after which the meeting
adjourned.
- A Brilliant Success.
Never did the Boston Store look
more dazzlingly beautiful than it did
last night. The wares and goods of the
store had been artistically arranged
and the large corps of clerks were
looking their prettiest.’ Hanging from
the walls on the different floors of the
store were singing canaries ,in cages,
there was a Japanese booth of choice
vases, etc. and a display of goods that
were a delight to 2,000 or more people
who had gathered there to listen to
a concert given under the auspices of
the firm for the benefit of the hospital
fund. On the first floor the Wheeler &.
Wilson orchestra discoursed sweet mu-
sic.and. on the secondfioor was the fam-
ous_Jerome May banjo club,whose mu-
816 is always highly appreciated. The
whole affair was a brilliant success and
a nice sum will be netted for the hospi-
tal fund.
State Shots-
John Crowley of Union Hill, 50 years
old, was found dead in the coal bin of
the Commercial House, Bristol, Tues-
day morning. A suspicious looking
bottle was found near him, which will
be examined to see if it contains poison.
Crowley leaves a wife and four child-
ren. .
Ezekial Curtis died in Stratford Tues:
day night after a brief illness. The
deceased was one of Stratford’s oldest-
residents, being 80 years of age. For
years he was employed at the Wheeler
& Wilson factory. He was a widower.
His death will cause sorrow in the
town in whichhe resided, as he was
widely known and beloved by all. _
