In the city James T. Hubbell, demo-
cratic candidate for mayor, defeated
E. S. Adams. by. a majority of four-
teen, exactly the‘=same number as E.
N. Sloan defeated Mr. Adams for War-
den two years ago.

At South Norwalk, Mayor Lee, Re-
publican, was re-elected by 140 ma-
jority with a solid Republican board Of
councilman behind him, excepting R.
H. Golden, who defeated Paul Berg.
R. G. Mitchell, Democrat, defeated
State and Town Committeeman, Ed-
mund E. Crowe, for Collector.

The license vote Wis a surprise to
both friend, and foe, resulting in a ma-
jority of 269 for license, against 1156
last year. .

A Table Spread For Customers.

Owing to the strong fight being made
in favor of no license at South Norwalk
Mayor Lee decided to strictly enforce
the law In regard to selling liquor, on
election day. With this in view Chief
William Vollmer stationed his force
about the city So that the saloons in the
center of the city could be kept under
strict surveillance. ’

Ofiicer Decker was stationed on
Water street, and soon his attention
was attracted to the number of persons
going in and out of the boarding house
kept by Mr. and Mrs. John H. Dennis,
at the corner of Water and Haviland
streets. He reported the matter to the
Chief who decided to make an' investi-
gation.

Summoning Ofiicer Gladstone the
trio viSIted the house and after effect-
ing an entrance began a search of the
premises. On going to the cellar the
officers found a. table on which was a
lighted lamp and two bottles of whiskey
in readiness for customers. About the
room were thirty-seven empty cases of
lager, which the ofiicers sampled and
found to be fresh beer.

An extensive search of the building
fniled to reveal either Mr. or Mrs. Den-
nis. The officers searched high and
low but could find no trace of either of
the parties. Word was left with 01:6
of the boarders by Chief Vollmer. cré
dering them both to appear before
Justice Barrett to-day.

This was the only raid made by the
police during the day, and as far as
known was the only violation of the
liquor law In South Norwalk.

Several intoxicated individuals were
about the streets, but it is thought that
they either obtained their liquor on
Saturday or bought it at some saloon
on the outskirts of the city.

BLNGKED HER EYE.
“Joe” Nagle Assaults Katy Burns.

Skips Out Before an Officer Can
Arrest Arrest Him.

 

Katy Burns, a daughter of James
Burns, came' up town last night and
complained to Captain Dann that
Joseph Nagle had struck her in the eye
and blackened it.

Katy stated that she told Nagle not
to shut the door Of the Allen House
and in reply he grabbed her by the
throat and struck her in the eye. Offi-
cer Kenney went down after Nagle but
he had skipped.

N agle has quite a reputation in town.
At one time he was arrested for an
assault on Timothleyrns and later was
arrested for making way with funds of
Hope Hose company. The latter case
he settled and came back to town
several days ago, but this new trouble
will rid the town of his presence for
some time.

At 1.30 this morning Nagle gave him-
self up and J usticeR M. Rose accepted
R. Francis Adams as security for his
appearance to-day.
