in Demand.

Conced: d ability and integrity, seem
to be in special demand with our’Demo-
cratic friends here in Norwalk. For
instance, they cast around, like the
shrewd politicians they are, for an up-
right, honest and popular candidate for
mayor and selected,of course, as their
best representative man, Lawyer James
T. Hubbell. He made a phenominal
run and was elected over one of the
most active and faithful Republican
workers in his party. Then the demo-
cracy cast about for a fitting candidate
for Judge of Probate and inevitably,
all eyes turned to Hubbell, as the one
man of all others in their party, to con-
test the election with the able and ex-
perienced Judge Woodward. Next,
the Democracy ‘was in sore need of a
first-class man for Senator, and Tues-
day they went fishing all around for a
candidate. ’l‘heir needs unerringly led
them to select Bubbell for that office
also. But as our Mayor elect began to
feel as Artemus Ward did when the
twenty-three Mormon widows urged
him to marry them. “Oh, too much,
too much,” said Artemus, and so our
friend HubbelL sternly resisted the
proffered honor. The convention was
resolute and decided that if they could
not have a Hubbell and a mayor, with
a “J. T.” prefix, they would have one
with a "W. B.” and an ex-Mayor, for
a Hubbell it must be. Therein they
showed their apprecration of true merit
and good sense. Such is the tribute
that politics pays to virtue, and may
the best man win. .

For Representatives.

It is conceded that no one is likely to
oppose the unanimous renomination of
Mayor E. O. Keeler for representative
in the State Legislature, from this end
of the town. The caucus is to be held
Friday," evening, and will arouse very
little specml interest because of the
lack of any competitors for the honor
which Mr. Keefer has well earned.

At South Norwalk, it is reported that
quite a spirited rivalry is developing
between the friends of Col. Frost and
Edito‘rCrowe.

Game on the Ghost,

Vt’hitelaw Reid, editor _of the New
York Tribune, and a candidate for the
vice-presidency of the United States in
1892, with Hon. Chauncey M. Depew,
president of the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad, came down the
Danbury division in a private car on
the 5:07 train last evening, passing
through South Norwalk on their way
to New York city—Sentinel.

As Editor Reid is in Europe withhis

family he must have come down on the
“ghost train.”

 

O
in Memoriam.

The remains of a son of one of the
most gentle and estimable of mothers,
and of a father of staunch integrity
and a pattern old-school gentleman, at
ength sleep beside those of his hon-
ored parents, in the Union Cemetery.
Their young Hobart’s highly sensrtive
nervous temperament had, before their
decease, given the late Mr. and Mrs.
James W. Pinkney anxiety, so that
later infirmity develcpments have not
been such a great surprise to the friends
of the family, who, while recalling the
life that had been so tenderly watched
over in its earlier periods, are conse»
quently the more saddened by the pa-
thetic termination of the same. The
Burial Office of the Church was to-day

W~+~———~——
An incipient Fire.

Shortly after 8 o’clOck last night
George Wakeman saw smoke issuing
from the roof of Capron’s machine shop
on Brook street. He called the atten-
tion of John C. Carroll to the smoke,
and he ran to Hale’s drug store for the
purpose of pulling Box 15, but before
he got the key Capt. Dann had pulled
the box and the fire department with
the exception of the truck company,
quickly responded to the alarm. After
some delay for want of a ladder a stream
was put on the fire and it was extin-
guished before much damage was done.
The fire caught from the chimney, di-
rectl y over the boiler. The entire
damagewill not be in excess of $50.

A Curious Accident.-

Mrs. Charles Selleck of East Nor-
walk met with a painful and serious ac-
crdent on Monday last at her home.
She lifted her left foot from the floor
and doubled up her leg and as she put
it back one of the main cords under
her knee snapped, and she sank almost
helpless to the floor. Dr. Baker was
summoned and-«dressed the wound,
which is liable to keep Mrs. Sell'eck
confined to the house for several weeks.

Demanded $5,000.

Mayor Sargent of New Haven was
yesterday afternoon visit-ed inhis office
by an intoxmated crank, who demanded
$5,000 in Cash from the chief executive
of the city, but subsequently moderated
his demands to the modest sum of ten
cents. lie failed to secure either
amount, however, and left the office dis-
appomted, but Without making any at-
tempt at violenCe.

" The Eileenix Steam Fire Engine?

 

Condemned bya State Boiler.
inspector.

 

Considerable Business Transacted
at the City Council Meeting.

 

It will be learned by many, With no
small amount of surprise, that the steam
fire engine belonging to the city of N or—
walk has been condemned by the state
steam boiler inspector, and 1s practi-
cally useless. , This fact was first made
public at an adjourned meeting of the
City Council held Tuesday evening, his
Honor Mayor E. O. Keeler and the full
board being present.

The meeting was called to order
shortly after 8 o’clock, and the Mayor
gave anopportunity to any person pres-
ent to be heard. Chief Engineer Prow-
it was present and be it was who
“sprung” the surprise of the evening.

He said that the steam fire engine be-
longing to the City of Norwalk was out
of order and had been condemned by
the State boiler inspector, and ex-
plained the situation by saying that he
orderde the steamer out for a “wash” a
few days ago, and had found that some-
thing was wrong with the boiler, and at
the quarters of thesteamer after_the
wash, in company With Engineer Aiken
had taken the jacket 011' and founda
break in a spot on the boiler at a part
that had long been known to be a weak
place. He then called upon Engineer
Aiken who was in the Council room to
give a more detailed account of the
trouble.

The engineer stated that the steamer
had not been examined in six years by
the State boiler inspector. Ten years
ago a new water leg had been placed on
her. He had known for some time that
the boiler was weak, and was gradually
growing worse. He had made monthly
examinations himself and considered it
safe to run the engine at areduced
presure. At the last “wash” he heard
an unusual noise about the boiler, and
after returning to the house had made
a thorough examinationand it. was de-
cided to summon the State inspector
who found the boiler sheet split open
three inches and condemned it. The
boiler was 24 years old and one of the
oldest, if not the oldest steam fire on-
gine boiler now in use in the state.

Chief Engineer Prowitt said that he
had consulted with the firecommittee
of the council and had secured esti-
mates for the repair of the steamer as
follows: _

Cole Bros, 3850, the transfer of the
steamer to be added, making a total
cost of $961.60. (This firm built the
steamer originally.) -

Pacific Iron Works, $775, transfer to
be paid by owners, making a total of
about $800. .

American Fire Engine Co. $891, in-
cluding transfer. - .,

The two first companies would fur-
nish a guarantee for one year and the
latter for five years. The Pacrfic com-
pany had offered to loan the city a
steamer during the absence of the
“Phoenix” for repairs.

The American Company wOuld fur-
nish a new first-class steamer for $3,000
in cash and the old steamer:- He said
that he himself thought the offer of
the American company the most fa-
vorable. ‘

Engineer Aiken remarked that a steel
boiler would not last as long as an iron
one, and explained by saying that an
iron bOiler was not as liable to pit as a
steel one would. Said that steel boilers
had a record of 10 to 12 years and iron
boilers, 15 to 20 years.

Chief Prowitt said that the inspector
told him that the. engine he condemned
had evidently received the best of care
else it would not have lasted so long.
He explained that some 3600 had been
expended on the engine about six
years ago. [At this point in the pro-
ceedings an alarm of fire was rung in
from box 15 and Chief Prowitt, Engin-
eer Aiken and Captain Chinery hastily
left the room.] ‘

On their return the matter was taken
up again.

Councilman Chinery of the fire com-
mittee then addressed the council, and
remarked upon the small expense the
fire department was to the city ; there
was not a member of the department
who was under a salary and they were
always ready and willing to save prop-
erty from destruction by fire at a no
small risk to themselves. He believed
that the city ought to be willing to fur-
nish all necessary apparatus, and re-
commended that a city meeting be
called for the purchaSO of a new en-
gine, and if this could not be gained,
then to have the old steamer put in re-
pair.

Councilman Adams thought that the
matter ought to be laid eve: to the
next meeting of the council, and then
it could be acted upon more intelli-
gently.

Councilman Osborn said that the
whole matter was a surprise to him as
he had, not heard of it until that time.
He wOuld favor having the fire com—
mittee bring in a unanimous report re-
commending either the purchase of a
new steamer or advising that the old
one be repaired. Believed that after
such a report was rendered that a city
meeting should be called to act upon
the same

Chief Prowitt said that something
ought to be done at once, and that the
steamer ought not be allowed to remain
in its present condition. The water
pipes in several sections of the town
were weak and liable to break, and too,
there was a likelihood of a shortage of
water in the city pipes, .and the steamer
would under such a contingency be
found to be of great value. Was in
favor of repairing the steamer if a new
one could not be secured. Had during
a'recent shortage of water been noti-
fied to keep the steamer in readiness
for immediate use in case of an alarm
of fire. The pressure at times on the
water pipes was very low.

Councilman Wheeler, then, in order
that some kind of action might be taken
moved that the fire committee be in-
structed to have the steamer repaired,
at a cost not in excess of $900. The
motion was seconded by Councilman
Chinery. '
Councilman Adams remarked that
this would be impossible as there was
not money enough left of the regular
appropriation to pay the bill. He
favored having, the appropriation made

’at a city meeting.

The question of the legality of such
an appropriation was referred to Corpo-

ration Council Lockwood, who said in

brief that he did not see how the money
could be legally appropriated if it was

 

not. to the credit of the fire department' .

The committee might'get a special. ap-
propriatiOn as the highway cbmmittee
had” fione by-‘legdly‘ advertising the
same. 2 ‘ ' _ '1 . :
2 On motionof’Councilman Osborn, 115;
was voted that a city meeting be called‘
for Monday afternoon, Oct. 22d, at 3
o’clock for the purpose of appropriating~
an amount sufficient to place the steamer
in thorough repair.

Bills to the amcunt of $747.55 were
ordered paid. . ,

The bill of Hope Hose company,
amounting to $10.60 for taking down
the billiard table at their house to allow
the erection of electionbooths was, re-
ferred to the fire committee wrth power.

The bonds of R. N. Morehouse as
city sheriff, for $500, with Orrin K.
Scofield as surety, and those for $1,000
each of the water commissioners,
Treadwell with E. O. Keeler as surety,
C. B. Coolidge, with E. K. Lockwood
as surety and Frederick Mead With 0.
E.'Wilson as surety, were presented,
accepted and ordered on file.’

Councilman Adams, chairman of the
highway committee, reported that the
work on the highways had been about
completed for the season; Butlittle
more would have to be paid out except
for slight repairs, and he also reported
that the highway appropriation had
about all been expended. He: thought
it advisable that more money be appro-
priated to be used in an emergency, as
would be the case in a blizzard,freshet,
etc., and more money ought to be left
for use at the opening of the season
next year. .

Legal notice having been. given, the
Council voted the sum of $500 to the
highway department. _

Councilman Adams’ resignation as
street commissioner was accepted, and
Martin Kellogg on the recommendation
of Mr. Adams, was elected to fill the
vacancy. The election was by ballot,
the nominee receiving a unanimous
Vote. _

The city clerk was instructed to_ give
legal notice asking for an appropriation
of 81.600 to the administrative depart-
ment. _

Councilman Adams called attention
to the dangerous condition of several
sidewalks in the city, among others
those in froht of property belonging to
E. K. Lockwood, Miss Mary Hoyt, and
the entire east side of Water street.
He also stated that property owners on
Leonard street were “ready and Will-
ing” to put down walks in front of their
respective properties, but ”wouldn’t do
it until they had to.” .

Councilman Chinery called attention
to the poor condition of walks in front
of property on Wilton avenue. _

The Corporation Counsel was in-
structed to officially notify all such

persons whose walks were out of repair-

to put them in repair.

Councilman Wheeler reported that

he had conferred with Superintendent
Whitney of the Norwalk & South Nor-
walk Electric Light company in the
matter of a contract for lighting the
city, and that Mr. Whitney would not
make a contract for less than three
years. He thought a compromise
might be made on a two years’ contract.
He was instructed by a vote of the
Council to make a one year contract
with the company from the 1st. of No-
vember next. _
‘ Corporation Counsel Lockwood. said
that he had investigated the claim of
C. T. Cornwall against the city for
damages for the loss of a cow and had
found that Mr. Cornwall had no cause
for action. .

The council then ad,]ourned.

that. Japan rejected the proposals made,
Econsiderlng them inadequate. \

' According to the Central News, how-

_“ .' The Times today attacks the govern-

Chinese-Japanese war when no strong
reason for the intervention exists and not
it single pewcr is willing to adopt its pro-
posals. “We incurred quite needlessly a
humiliating defeat,” says the writer.
“This must lower our prestige and impair
England’s‘capncity to intervene effective.

possible to understand the infatuation
that induced the minister to submit the
proposals so crude and ill considered and
so entirely incommensurate with the ob-
