At the annual meeting held last night of the Norwalk Hospital Association, the gratifying fact was made public that this merciful organization has now reached the full realization of the sum often thousand dollars which entitles it to the State appropriation of five thousand dollars more and upon this assuredbasis, plans and specifications fora suitable hospital building upon their already purchased lot, with bids for its construction are to be at once invited. The success of this humane enterprise is a cause for general rejoic— ing. _._.___...._——— Repeal the income Tax. It was eminently fitting that the first bill introduced in the House this session should be one for the repeal of the ob- noxious, undemocratic income tax. It was introduced by Representative Bart- lett, of New York, who says that he does not propose to allow the bill to be quiet- ly buried without a vigorous fight. That the monarchical income tax im- position must be repealed sooner or later is not questioned. It will not be tolerated by the people. If the demo crats do not repeal it this session the re publicans will next. By all means it should be repealed before it becomes necessary to collect the tax. This will save a needless expense and relieve the people from outrageous annoyance. On the European Plan. Limited matrimony is the novel question which is about to engage the the attentibn of the California courts. It appears that about six months ago Edward M. Elkins and Lillie M'abney. of San Francisco, had their hearts pierced by mischievous Cupid. They concluded that nothing but the Wedded state could effect a cure. Yet they had heard so much about marriage being a failure that they feared to take upon themselves obligations which would bind them together until death, unless sooner divorced. Or it is possible that they' had an eye—perhaps four eyes— to the expense involved in the last named contingency. ' They hit upon the device therefore, of entering into a contract “to be mar- ried for a period of six months.” This probationary term having expired, they proceeded to a notary’s and made a compact for another half year. Now the lawyers have taken an interest in the matter and have persuaded the couple to permit themjto concoct a test case, so as to obtain a judicial decision whether this kind of marriage, on the European plan, as it were, is legal or not. Should the courts decide affirmative- ly, the business of marriage bureaux would experience a tremendous boom and “Mr. and Mrs. John Smith (lim- ted)” might come to be regarded as qurte the proper caper. _———-—————.—1°p—.——————-— Neither Absent nor Tardy.

The Burglars Secure $90 in Cash and $150 in Checks. The last of a long list of burglaries - in this section for the past few weeks occurred at New Canaan at an early hour this morning, and as in most of the other burglaries a railroad depot was visited. ' This morning, when the baggage master went to the depot he proceeded to unlock the door, but the lock re- fused to work. He then took hold of the knob and the door opened. On going .inide he struck a match for the purpose of lighting a lamp but found the lamp broken. On fur- ther investigation he discovered that the place had been burglarized and im- mediately notified the station agent, William A. Reid. It was found that the safe had been blOWn open and rifled of $90 in cash and two checks for $150, the‘ latter hav- ing been left there by the paymaster of the road to be used in paying off the, employees. , The safe door was hurled across and into one corner of the room by the force of the explosion, and the ticket office door was blown from its hinges. The noise of theveXplosion was heard by several persons living near the de- pot, but for some unknown reason they failed to give an alarm. — Agent Reid took the first train for Stamford where he notified the railroad officials of the burglary and caused payment to be stopped on the checks. After Honnecker. ’The people of the quiet little town of Bedding are aroused and indignant over the action of Prosecuting Attor- ney Honnecker, of Norwalk, in im- porting a justice of the peace from Norwalk to try certain liquor cases which the attorney caused by swooping down on to places in Redding in hopes of finding liquor. One day last week Prosecutor Honnecker and Justice Keel- er of Norwalk, and Deputy Sherifi‘ White of Ridgefield, made an investi- gation of the property of Samuel Cor- hell who runs the Brookside Hotel at West Redding station, and E, L. White who keeps a place on the inside of Brookside Park, for the purpose of locating “wet goods,” which they sup- pOSed were being sold without license. At Brookside Hotel the searchers found nothing and at White’s place one bot- tle of whiskey and a case of beer, which White claimed was for private use. However, both Cornell and White were arrested on criminal charges and the trial occurred yesterday at 11 o’clock before Justice Keeler. Attor- ney Howard W. Taylor and S. A. Davis of this city appeared for the defendants. Befdre the trial much feeling was shown by the residents of Redding over the importation of Justice Keeler and afterwards the feeling became more intense. As the cases were about to be brought to trial Prosecutor Hon- necker discovered that his cases were weak and after a heated discussion be~ tween the Bedding justices and the lawyers both cases were nolled. The result is that the town of Bedding will be compelled to pay the costs'hich amount to about $75. It is over the costs that the discussion. originated, the Reddingites claiming that there were competentjustices in their own town to try such cases without importing one from Norwalk thus throwing additional expense upon the town.—Danbury Dispatch. Gov. Coffln’s Staff. A Middletown dispatch says that Governor elect Coffin has practically decided on the personnel of his staff, and the official announcement will be made at the end of this week. Charles P. Graham of Middletown, adjutantgen'eral under GovernoriBulke- ley, who resigned because of the First regiment rink fight, is to be chief of staff. Colonel Joseph T. Elliott of Middletown, assistant adjutant general under Governor Bulkley, has been of- fered the rc—appointment and will in all probability accept, Captain William E.

Cheney of Hart ~ford and Lieutenant John W. Lowe of New Haven aides de-camp. There has been some hitch, conse- quently there are two or three places not yet settled. The judge advocate general is to come from Windham county, and the commissary is yet to beddecided upon as well as two more 9.1 es. ' .—.____._‘ Judgment for Mr. Sheehan. _ Judge Shumway occupied the bench in the civil Superior Court réom Tues- day for the first time in two weeks. He has been at the bedside of his brother who died Thanksgiving day of typhom-malaria fever supposed to have been contracted by eating raw oysters. He handed downa decision in the caseof (David Sheehan, of this city, administtrator vs. the Consolidated Housatonic railroad, awarding the plaintiff $50. The suit was to recover damages from the road for the death by..a.ccident at the Marshall street crossing of Miss Catherine Hesson. .- Humane Death for Animals. There was received at the custom house in Hartford, Tuesday, six de- vices for killing animals in a humane manner. They were bought in Paris by the Connecticut Humane society and are the first ever imported to this country. Four are for horses and two for cats. They will be distributed among the agents in different parts of the state.‘ The device consists of a hood that blinds the animal. Attached to it is a spike that when driven in by- a hammer pierces the animal’s brain and causes instant death. 0 Comstpck——Vail. The wedding of Edith Comstock and Franklin E. Vail will take place at the Methodist church tomorrow afternoon at .2 o’clock, Rev. Mr. Wyatt officiating. Miss Comstock is a daughter of George Comstock, of Broad River, and until recently was employed at the Merwin street shirt manufactory. Mr. and Mrs. Vail will reside On Franklin avenue. llli thORRlGIBlE BOY. Ernest Tanner Caught at 'Soiith Norwalk, Had Stolen Money from His Mother South Norwalk was attracted to a’boy in that city, on Tuesday, who was money.He took him in charge and after considerable questioning found that his name was Ernest Tanner, and his home on Knight street this city. The boy had $5.90 in his possession when apprehended. It seems that on Satur- day the boy’s mother gave him 36 With which to pay a bill at Ambler’s grocery. He visited the grocery and paid $4 re- tainin the balance for his own use. Mrs. ‘anner had occation to Visit the store Monday when she found out what the boy had done. He had not been home and Mrs. Tanner visited the Center school which the boy was sup- posed to attend regularly and there she learned that he had ‘not been at school but one day since it o ened,and that his brother had asimi ar record for attendance. - The boy returned home on Monday remaining long enough to appropriate 36 more belonging to his mother and then skipped out. His mother followed him to Westport to which place she was informed he_had gone but failed to find him, and did not learn of his where- abouts untill advised by Chief Vollmer through a reporter and Chief Bradley. She immediately went to South Nor- walk and the lad was turned over to her care. To a Gaznrrn reporter Mrs. Tanner, ' this morning, said that the boy was 11 years old, and from evil associations was rapidly “going to the bad” but still she did not care to have him sent to the Reform school. His brother John aged 13 she avers is as bad as Ernest, and that he shared the theft of Saturday. Ernest according to her statement stands in fear of Principal Tucker of the Center school, and remains away from school for fear of being whipped. The boys’ father at one time a driver on the Street Railway has been in Brooklyn for the past five weeks a part of which time he has been sick, and Ernest claims that it was him that he was going to” see and was about to purchase a railroad ticket when he was arrested. The parents of the children do not live together very happily and the want of a father’s proper restriction is evidenced in the misdoings of the boys. Chief Bradley had seen looking for the boy, but as usual had. not men- tioned the fact to anyone and conse- quently did not know of his where- abouts until advised by a neWSpaper reporter who as usual was first to get onto the story. Y. M. C. A. Entertainment. The good ladies who labored so hard to make last evening’s entertainment at the Opera House a success, must have been more than delighted at the very general and generous support given their efforts to promote a good cause. The Hall was very attractively decora- ted with tri-colored buntings, by that skilled artist in such embellishments, George R. Van Alstyne, and the stage given a tropical flavor by the Hanfords in their profuse palm and fern adorn- ments. The several booths were daint- ily arranged with tempting goods on sale and the Yankee kitchen made appetizing with its cakes and goodies galore, while the ladies and littlemiss- es, one and all, wore their most win— some smiles while beguiling dollars and dimes from the pockets of those of the sterner sex who came with the noble purpose of yielding willing contribu- tions to the good cause. The special feature of the evening, was the delightful and delighting Liv- ing Picture exhibition. To Mrs. Geo. W. Cram and Miss Clementine Chol- well,were the audience chiefly indebted for the preparation of this rare artistic treat and of the young ladies who lent their lovliest charms to the trying ordeal of posing, too much cannot . be said in praise of their efforts to please. Prof. HarstrOm also lent efficient aid to the successful workings of the spectacu- lar effects. But where all did so well and all seemed inspired by the one common desire to aid the good cause, it would be invidious2to particularize. There was a.large number of attend- ants from South Norwalk and many from out of the city. The one striking and most beautiful feature of the company and the enter- tainment, as a whole, was the home-like and unrestrained cordiality with which people of all the various church creeds, all shades of political beliefs and all grades of social standing,blended their best efforts for the promotion of a most worthy and appealing cause. It is to be hoped that last night’s unqualified success may be improved upon to-night when some of our sister city of Bridge- port’s best musical talent is to be drawn upon and a lady elocutionist of pro- nounced merit, will give zest to this evening’s pro ramme. There were some five hun red and more present last evening and it is hoped that more will attend to-night. O Amusements. uoxr's oruaa uousn.

The audacious yet good natured and generous Hebrew commercial drummer will positively appear at the N orwalk Opera House, Friday night, December 7th, in his funny creation of "Sam’l of Pcsen” with M. B. Curtis in the title role. There is only one “Sam’l of Posen” and Mr. M. B.

Charley llong, a Chiliese Laundry- man Arrested on' Complaint of a Little Ten Year Old Girl. t Locked up Under.$2.000 Bonds- Chief of Police Vollmer this morning arrested Charley Hong, who runs a Chinese laundry under Trowbridge &. Co.’s cigar store at South Norwalk, on the charge of committing a criminal assault on Bertha Kline. a little ten year old East Norwalk girl. He was taken before Justice Keeler and placed under $2,000 bonds which he was unable to furnish and was locked up until five o’clock this afternoon when he will be given a hearing. . . The little; girl says that the assault» Was committed last Friday. She had been to see her Sunday school teacher and was on her way home when Charle Hongbeckonedto her and she went own the stairs-to his laundry. She then said that Hong took her into his bedroom and committed an assault upon. her. , When Mrs-Kline heard of the affair she took the girl to Justice Keeler who after hearing the story presented the facts to attorney Honnecker and he had Hong arrested and brought to his (office when Bertha identified him. ‘Hong was then bound over under $2 000 until this afternoon. Bertha is the daughter of Fred Kline who was killed near Whistlevllle some time ago. The present Mrs. Kline is her stepmother. It is stated that Ber‘ tha did not go to see her Sunday-school teacher on Friday last, as she says she did, but that her teacher went to her" home in East N orwalk that evening to find out why she did not come and Bertha told her about being at the laundry. It is also said that Bertha has a mania for stealingzand telling lies and that Mrs. Kline has considera- ble trouble-with her. She “is said to have stolen" two pairs of gold eye glasses from her teacher’s home, one pair only being recovered, besides money and other valuables. , Charley chg denies the girl ’5 state- ment and says that he never saw her before he saw. her in Attorney Hon- necker’s office. The "Rambler” Case. ' Several hours were spent in the city court at Stamford, on Tuesday, in final proceedings in connection with the famous “Rambler” seizure case. 00]. Frost and ex—Judge Perry, represent- ing Morgan, owner of the ”Rambler” and also the other parties who take issue with Oliver Cook, has prepared a statement of facts which records. This did not suit counsel for Cook—Messrs. Warner and Hurl- butt—at all. . After wrangling over it for. hours, Judge Downs announced that he should file a statement of facts separately. .Evidently the .Cook side of the case does not want as many facts filed as dojother people. Then a long time was spent in taxing the costs, Counsel for Mr. Morgan presented a bill of $662.10, which included witness fees and compensation at the rate of $1 a day for 83 days for the seized boat. The costs taxable to the other side are a good deal less, because there were fewer witnesses for Mr. Cook. . Counsel for Mr. Cook says the Advo- cate, proposed to appeal to the Court of Common Pleas, but Lawyers Frost and Perry do not think the case can be appealed to that court, but must go to the Supreme Court of Errors if it is appealed at all, and must be argued there on points of law. It rests with the Court of Common Pleas to allow the parties to take, the appeal to that court, and in case it does, all the evi- dence will probably be repeated. The intention of Mr. Cook seems to be to final judgement is against him he will find his litigatiOn a mighty expensive luxury. ~ Hospital Association.
