The GAZETTE. yesterday published
One Hundred and Eighty-three new ad-
vertisements and locals ! This is a
record never reached by any Norwalk
It proves that our
newspaper before 1
merchants and busin'éss men are awak-
ening to a livlier sense of the power of
the press to aid and f augment their
sales. It shows also, that they know
when and how and where their adver-
tisments do them the most’ good.
Thanks, friends and patrons ; a Merry
Christmas to you all.
Now will all our g00d readers do the
GAZETTE and the merchants too, the .
kindness to state, when trading with
any of them, that they Saw their adv.
in this paper.
Make Haste Wisely. I
The N orwalk public have come to
know that in matters Masonic and re-
lating to the Consolidated rfiilroad, the
Hour man is so warped in his judgment
of personal ill-feeling as to be a com-
plete prey to his own prejudices, and is
therefore always unjust, one-sided and
unfair in any reference to them, in his
paper. But it was not expected that
his desire to be placed on a‘ ‘COmmittee”
to expend a vast sum of city’s tax-
payers’ money would be so strong as to
lead him in a double-leaded editorial
to cast the plain and direct imputation
of dishonesty upon our board of Water
Commissioners, upon whom the city
charter, in Section 55, clearly imposes
the obligation to do all that pertains
to the building and paying for each and
every matter connected with the city’s
water system.
Can any other interpretation be given
the following extracts, than that in the
mind of the writer, our Water Commis-
sioners are either arrant fools or
knaves :
“We hope that every voter of this
city will read tne call for a city meet-
ing, on next Thursday, and resolve that
(1) he will not vote for any water
scheme until he knows what it is ; and
('2) that he will vote for no appropria-
tion of money until he knows for what
it is to be expended and who is 150
handle it. .
It is time to say, and to speak it
plainly, that a board of Water Commis-
sioners composed of Clarence B. Cool-
idge, Frederick Mead and John P.
Treadwell should not be entrusted with
the expenditure of tens of thousands of
dollars on work that neither of the
three knows anything about.”
More water must be had. No good
citizen Wishes it obtained except in the
wisest, most economical and strictly
honest manner. Every honest and in-
telligent tax-payer earnestly desires
that the very best location shall be
selected for another reservoir and none
but the best methods adopted in its
construction and no one suspects Clar-
ence B. Coolidge, Frederick Mead and
John P. Treadwell, of being either
thieves or idiots. ,
The GAZETTE hopes there will be a
full attendance of our citizens at the
meeting to be held to consider the mat-
ter and that wise counsels may prevail.

An incipient Fire.
Shortly before 10 o’clock, this morn«
ing, an alarm of fire was sounded from
box 15. It was promptly responded to
by the fire department. The alarm
was caused by an oil stove. Mrs. Geo.
W. Classon occupies rooms in the
Moody building on Main street. This
morning she lighted an oil stove and
soon after went Cut to call on her sister
Mrs. Minnie Radie, who lives next
door. When she returned she found
' her rooms filled With smoke, and nat-
urally thought they were afire. She
immediately gave the alarm and box 15
at Hale’s drug store was pulled. The
rooms were soon freed of smoke by the
opening of windows, when it was found
that the damage was confined to a
badly scorched’sink.
Struck by an Express Train.
H. F. Cox, 60 years of age, was
brought to the Norwalk hCSpital this
morning in the ambulance. Mr. Cox
is a resident of Hudson, N. Y., and was
boarding at Phipps’ hotel, in Greens
Farms. This morning he was struck
by an exress train at Greens Farms.
'Word was telephoned here and Dr. W.
C. Burke J-r., accompanied the ambu-
lance to Greens Farms and he ordered
’ the man taken to the hospital. It was
found that he had sustained a broken
arm besides being badly brused about
the face. He was unable to state just
how the accident occurred.
A ChildfiKllled.
In Southport yesterday the three
year old son of F. M. Roscoe was run .
over and killed by an eletric car. ‘An
eye witness of the terrible accident but
powerless to prevent it, was the father
of the boy. The little fellow was a
nephew of Miss Mary Lockwood of
West avenue, and a frequent visitor to
this city.

curio-circo. comedy'in which JamesB. ~
Mackie, better known as “Grimesey,
Me’Boy,” will appear this coming sea-
son. It is from the pen of Geo. C.~
Jenks, of Pittsburgh, and deals with
life as it exists in the small tent or
annex to the circus. Mr. Mackie sur-
rounded himself with an exceptionally
strong company of artists, and no
doubt the “Side Show” will prove a
great big winner. The company will
appear at Boyt’s Opera House, Friday

No lover of the Drama should fail to
see Archie Boyd in his latest and
greatest success “The Country Squire.”
at the Norwalk Opera House on Wed
nesday evening Dec. 26th. Mr. Boyd
has forlthe past four years been playing
and making famous the‘,I character of
Joshua Whitcomb, in the “Old Home-
stead,” andpersons who are in position
to be good Judges are quick to say that
in “The Country Squire,” Mr. Boyd
has a play that is very much better
suited to his abilities and far exceeds
all expectations. both dramatically
and financially.
