An Error Found.
At the meeting of the Selectmen and
the committee appointed by the Board
of School Visitors to_ investigate the
matter of expenditures for evening
schools, held at the Selectmens’ office
Monday afternoon, it was ascertained
that an error of $1,000 was made in
the figures given to Mr. Mead. Mr.
Daskam produced his books and they
were gone over by the committee and
the error discovered. Mr. Daskam did
not remember having given Mr. Mead
the amount of expenditures as $2,397 .97,
but thought he might have done so.
The finding of this error increases the
amount of money on hand to $1,484 43,
which is enough to carry on the school
' the balance of time required.
The books kept by Mr. Daskam were
found correct in every particular and
the only entry to which the committee
objected was the payment of $500 to
Mr. Maples. This was explained by
the statement that it was thought that
it would cost as much to stand a law
suit with Mr. Maples, so they paid his
bill.
O
A Recommendation.
We would respectfully suggest that
the “Commissioner of Streets and Side-
walks” don his patent leather shoes,
take his “outing” cane and spend a
day in perambulating our thorough-
fares. If he looked sharply and walked
carefully he might be able to keep his
patent leathers nnscratched, but he
would find sidewalks cracked, pitted,
depressed in places, out of grade and
in many places flagged with the odds
and ends of some abandoned stone
yard; and that some streets are in
sore need of sidewalks.
Our highways, particularly the paved
and macadamized portion, are not in
good condition, while choked gutters
and mudholes can be found at a mo-
ment’s notice. We do not wish to
imply that our streets are worse than
they have ever been, but we do think
that the City of Norwalk ought to
improve on the Borough of Norwalk.
The very fact of cityhood leadsvstran-
gers to expect more than before, 'and
we should not disappoint them. We
regret that the city meeting saw fit
to scale down the sum as estimated
by the Council for highway purposes,
and we recognize the “condition that
confront-s” them. However, as the
Council can appropriate $1,000 in excess
of the sum doled out by a penurious
city meeting, let us hope that the city
fathers will take hold of the highway
question in good faith and do the best
they can with the pittance awarded
them.
The force of men put to work on
Wall street, Monday, made a complete
transformation of what threatened to
be a mud hole. Well done, Mr. Com-
missioner. Do so some more until
every street in our little city is as clean
and bright as a new silver dollar.

The Case Adjourned Until Next
' Tuesday.
The complicated afi'airs of George L.
Schafi'er, the wealthy oyster grower,
were again ventilated before Judge Tal.
madge in the Bridgeport Probate Court
Monday afternoon on an application of
Captain Ash Bond and Frank Miller, to
have the business of Mr. Schafi'er ad-
judged insolvent. .
Captain Bond and Mr. Miller were
represented by Attorney Davenport,
while Mr. Schafi'er’s interests were
looked after by Attorney J udson’. At-
torney Gould was also present, repre-
senting various creditors of Mr. Schaf—
fer.
When the hearing opened Attorney
Judson at once asked for a continuance
of the matter. He said that an appli-
cation had been made to Judge Shum-
way for the appointment of a receiver
over the affairs of Mr. Schafi‘er, and
that a hearing on that appointment
would be heard to-morrow morning be-
fore Judge Shumway. He stated fur-
ther that if a trustee was appointed in
insolvency that the business would be
crippled inasmuch as a trustee would
not be able to conduct the business.
He said that if a receiver could be ap-
pointed, as intended,the business could
be continued and creditors would re-
ceive dollar for dollar. ”He said that at
the present time the crops were not
matured, and by forced sale by a trus-
tee would not realize any great amount.
Attorney Davenport objected to.the
continuance. He said that Mr. Miller
was heavilv interested in the chairs of
the firm of Sohaff'er 85 Bond and find-
ing no mortgaged property to satisfy
his claim, he sought this method to
have the firm made insolvent.
Attorney Gould in the interest of a
heavy creditor asked that the matter be
continued. He said he preferred the
appointment of a receiver rather than a
trustee as he did not believe the firm
insolvent.
Judge Talmadge said that he could
not appoint a trustee then, but said the
only matter for consideration was the
actual condition of the affairs as to
whether or not the firm was insolvent.
Judge Talmadge ordered an adjourn-
ment of the matter until next Tuesday.

Suspension of Pensions.
Pension Commissioner Lochren has
issued an order directing in accordance
with the act of congress of December
21, 1893, that immedate steps be taken
to remove suspension of pensions in
which such action has not already been
taken. Commenting on this order
Commissioner Lochren said. “This
order directs the removals of suspen-
sions in all cases in which the action of
resumption of payments of dropping
from the rolls has not already been
taken. It hasbecome necessary to do
this under the act of congress of Decem-
ber 21, 1893. as it has been construed by
the attorney general to includeiall cases
of pending suspension of payment of
pensions, even where the evidence of
fraud or of lack of title is strong and
convincing. The result will be to pay
out a large amount of money from the
treasury to persons who are defrauding
the goverment.

There is a method in advertising

taken up and carried out with intelli-
gence. The idea of advertising is to
let people know what you have for sale,
and the medium which reaches the peo-
ple is the one that pays. Hence the
local newspaper, which goes into the
homes of the purchasing public is the
best that can be found. People read
the newspapers who never look at hand-
bills. People, too, read the local pa-
pers who take no other. If your busi-
ness is one which depends on local
trade the only way to be successful is
to advertise in the papers which local
buyers read—Ansonia Sentinel.

A‘ Passenger Suffering With tné
Disease Boards a Train at
South Norwalk.
Anotheerlan Who Has Disappeared
Accompanied Him.
The presence of a passenger suffering
from smallpox created consternation
Monday morning on an express train of
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
railroad.
The train stopped at South Norwalk
at nine o’clock, and there came aboard
a poorly dressed man, who shuffled into
a seat in one of the rear care. He
seemed to be ill, and several of the pas-
sengers noticed blotches on his face.
One of the passengers, eVidently a
physician, examined the man critically
and exclaimed:
“Why, this man has smallpox i”
The rest of the passengers stampeded
to a forward car.
The doctor told the conductor of the
case, and soon the latter accompanied
by several brakemen, approached the
man and ordered him to go forward to
the baggage car. .
The man did as he was bid, the con-
ductor and brakemen following at a re-
spectful distance. On the way through
the way train the smallpox patient jos-
tled many well dressed passengers of
both sexes, who were unconcerned un-
til they learned of the real nature .of
the case. Then consternation and dis-
may seized them all. Several left the
train at New Rochelle. .
The patient was finally landed in a
corner of the baggage car, where he
sat on a camp stool for the rest of the _
trip. The trainmen maintained a sort
of a dead line about fifteen feet away
from the afflicted one. ,
As the train hauled into the _Grand
Central station a squad of policemen
were awaiting its arrival. .With the
policemen were two sanitary inspectors.
The latter had been telegraphed to
from New Rochelle.
When all of the passengers had left
the train the patient was transferred
to a Health Department wagon and re-
moved to the Reception Hospital.
The patient was Charles Peterson, 341
years old and homeless, who had been
stopping in various lodging houses in
New York. He had gone to South
Norwalk last week, he said, in search
of employment. When he found him-
self too ill to work, he concluded to
return to New York. ' ._ _ _
The health officials are investigating
the case. Every car on the New Haven
train that had harbored the small-pox
victim has been thoroughly fumigated
and disinfected. The action of the con-
ductor in taking the patient to .New
York instead of casting him adrift at
one of the wayside stations, as several
heartless passengers urged him to do,
was highly commended by others on
the. train who were - more-humane and
largely in the majority.
The health authorities of New York
declared that there was very little like-
lihood that the smallpox patient had
spread any contagion in the train.
Peterson came to the depot at South
Norwalk some time before the arrival
of the train and sat on one of the seats.
He was accompanied» by another man
who,those that saw them say,resemble_d
him closely, and appeared to be his
brother. Peterson bought a ticket for
New York at the ticket window paying
‘for it in small silver,which ticket agent
Harris at once dumped into a draw con-
taining moth balls, because as George
expressed it,he did not like. the looks of
the man’s face. Peterson’s companion
bought a ticket for Bridgeport. Both
returned to the seat opposite the ticket
office window and resumed their con-
versation. Shortly before the arrival
of the train the friend or brother of
Petersen exchanged his ticket to
Bridgeport for one to New York and
accompanied him aboard the train.
This man has evidently escaped and is
roaming around, as no account of his
detention is reported. .
Dr. Tracy this morning visited the
residence of Charles Peterson in East
Norwalk, as given in the directory, and
found that the family had‘ moved to
Roton Hill. He then drove to that
place and found Peterson, who proved
to be at work and was not the man who
had the smallpox. He also visited every ,
family by that name in town, but failed
to locate him. He then telephoned to
Rock Brothers Island, where Peterson
had been taken and ascertained from
him that he had spent Sunday night in
a boarding house near the South Nor-
walk depot. _
The health officer thinks he has lo-
cated the boarding house and if correct.
the place will be quarantined.

was contagious disease, but had found
that the inmates had broken the quar-
antine and gone out on the street with
a probability of a spread of the disease.

tion in the matter might bring about
an epidemic, which might easily be
averted by prompt measures being
taken to guard against the same.
