More Venom.
The last issue of the Hour vomiis‘ a
column of slanderous abuse against
Speaker Fessenden, who never treated
Mr. Maples with anything but kindness.
His most spiteful charge is that Fessen-
den has been‘a “lobbyist.” In heaven’s
name what was Maples before he was
f ound out,all the years he was sniveling
about the legislative lobby, whining
like 9. our for any sort of a bone to
pick. '

Never Made Any Such Charge.
The allegation is that there is some-
thing wrong With the town accounts.
The charge is not sustained by a parti-
cle of evidence. The GAZETTE must
produce the evidence and maintain its
charges, or take the consequences.—
Hour.
The GAZETTE has never directly or
indirectly “charged that there is some-
thing wrong with the town accounts,”
and no one knows this better than the.
mendacious Hour. The only proper
answer to be made to theabove false
allegation would be in the forcible
words of‘the .late Mr. Greeley: “You
lie villain! You know you lie!” It is
true, however, that Mr. Maples’ excess
of anxiety and fear that the town ac-
counts are to be examined, begin to
convince taxpafirs that it ouglft tbnbe
done. That is tli‘é only groundif ’ "1 i,
pinion that there is anythingéwrbng.-
The GAZETTE will rejoice, more heartily
and sincerely than will the selectmen’s
false and treacherous friend, if there
be an examination made and nothing
found to suggest changes and improve-
ments in the conduct of our town’s
affairs. N o wonder a shylock who has
robbed the taxpayers of this town of
five hundred. of Mrs for work never
performed—”fill“ dire week of alleged
teaching which he was never authori-
tively employed to do, gets his journals
ining committee. Yet Mr. Maples has
done more than anyone else to make
terribly dreads.
+>——W—
Investigate bv all Means.
Ever since the Lexow committee be-
gan its revelation of municipal corrup-
tion in New York, there has been a
growing feeling in N orw‘alk, expressing
itself in various ways, that an investi-
gation would be serviceable here,
This feeling has intensified, and begins
to take shape in a distinct demand for
decided action. . . .
We think there is no one who be-
lieves that the present heads of the
town’s administration are personally
corrupt or corruptible. In fact, we do
not know that any such thing was be-
lieved of the ostensible head of the
city government in New York under
the Tam-many rule. But it is not ex?
aggeration to say that no time in Nor-
walk has the conviction been deeper or
more universal that the management of
town affairs was essentially and thor-
oughly bad, and that the tax-payers
were being taxed loo highly and that;
certain exiienses of the town are being”
swelled to an unprecedented amount
without any compensating public gain.
From time to time we get intimation
of the loose methods employed, but for
the most part the community as a
WliUle is as ignorant of the inner work-
in_:s of the Selectmen as were the peo-
ple of New York of the methods of
police corruption before the Lexow
committee succeeded in turning the
force inside out. When an inquiry is
started it is instantly denounced by a
“chum” of one of the Selectmen,
Which leads all decent people to believe
that the accounts of the town cannot
be investigated too quickly. By all
means let our town accounts be inves-
tigated by an experienced accountant.

A Brief Description of the Organi-
zation Since its inception.
From a Garden Engine to a First-
Ciass Steamer.
Through the courtesy of the Ameri-
can Fire Engine Company we are
enabled today to publish a cut of the
new steam fire engine for Phoenix
Engine company, which was ordered at
a city meeting held October 29th, .1894.
This engine is of entirely new ,deSign
and construction, and is the second one
to be built. The first was shown at the
annfial convention of the National As-
sociation of Fire Engineers at Montreal
in August, 1894, and was afterwards
sold to the cityfof Erie, Pa., and has
" The new
{engine will be delivered here early _in
February? at Which time a public trial
'ivijl'li‘befgiven. ‘ _ . _
" In connection withthe new engine it
might be well to give a brief history of
Phoenix Engine company which is to
receive the apparatus :
On Friday night, May 21st,
1858, .that portion of Darien
known as “Rings End Landing” was
almost entirely consumed by fire, $20,—
000,. worth of, property gomg up in
smoke. In recording the fire the
GAZETTE called attention to the needs
of Norwalk and suggested that two
first-class fire engines be purchased,
and-asked," “who will move in the mat-
ter, before he gets his own fingers
burnt 1’” .-,- _
N o attention was paid to this warn-
ing, and on Friday night. November 19
1858, the “Marine Hall,” conflagration
occurred, fire sweeping over about one-
quarter of the “Bridge” portion of the
town, destroying $100,000 worth of
rgain with J. H. Sickles, of New York,
for a crane’neck piano engine at $l,000;
a hose cart, 500 feet of hose and 22 feet
of suction pipe. The engine was to be
a. 7x9 cylinder, capable'of throwing two
streams of water twice the heighth of
any building in town.
After the closing of the contract by
the committee a meeting of citizens
was held at Phoenix Hall on.Wednes-
day evening, December 15, 1858, and
Phoenix Engine Company organized
by the election of Robert S. Craufurd
foreman, James S. Waterbury assistant
foreman, Charles H. Street secretary
and Frederick St. John Lockwood
treasurer.
This was the origin of the present
Phoenix Engine Company, and Col.
Frederick St.John Lockwood is the
only ofiicer now living elected at that
meeting, the others having passed to
the beyond.
On Friday evening, December 31st
1858, Phoenix Engine No. 1 reached
Norwalk, and a company of about fifty
of the new members went down to re-
ceive her. The GAZETTE of January
4th, 1859, says of the event: “Upon
leaving the depot three cheers were
proposed by the foreman, for the New
Haven railroad, in as much as it had
transported the machine free of cost
to the company. Three cheers were
given with a will, and three more for
superintendent Hoyt with a _“tiger.”
The company formed and marched to
the Bridge with the South. Norwalk
band at their head. On the route
cheers were given on passing the resi-
dence of Judge Butler. the‘ residence
of the treasurer Mr Lockwood, the
Chief Engineer Asa‘Smith, the hire
man R. B. Craufurd, the secretary,
Charles H. Street, the fire warden Dr.
Lynes, the engine houge of No. 2 and
the old GAZETTE. ' '
On arriving at the Bridge the engine
was deposited in the barn of the Nor.
walk Hotel.” '-
A publictrialwas made on New Year’s:
afternoon, when a stream of water was
in front of the Hotel.
property. ‘ .
t this time Norwalk was Without
adequate fire protection and was
obliged 'to call" upon Danbury for as-
sistance, aspecial train being sent to
that town to bring their fire depart-
to our aid. .
After the fire the GAZETTE said : “It
is witha mor’tification that we know
nOt how to express, that we allude to
the fact that in a town of the size,
wealth and business significance of
Norwalk, nothing but a little garden
engine could be brought into requisi-
tion at such a time. 'Now that the horse
isstolen, shall thestablc door be loo/red?”
The “Marine Hall” fire, brought our
business men to their senses, and at a
special Borough meeting held Decem-
ber 2d 1858, two thousand dollars was
appropriated for the purpose of pro-
curing one or more fire engines, and
other. equipments necessary for the or-
ganization of an efficient fire depart-
ment, anda tax was laid to raise the
money.
At this meeting Asa Smith, ’1‘. J. Van
Zant and A. 0. Arnold Were appointed
a committee to carry out the provisions
oflhe meeting and they closed a bar-
Careless Driving.
r[his morning, Ezra Platt of East
Nor walk, accompanied by Charles Plait
drove up from that place. When in
front of the GAZETTE building, the
driver attempted to cross the track in
front of Tramway car No. 7 in charge
of Conductor Barnes. Motorman Da-r-
row saw that he was unable to avoid a
collision, but he promptly shut off the
power and applied the brakes. The
car was going at a slow rate of speed,
and the only damage done was to one
of the hind wheels of the carriage.
The driver of the horse was the only
one at fault.
The Vatican Decision.
Bishop Tierney has sent; a circular
letter to the priests of the diOCese in
accordance With a recent vatican de-
cision forbidding Roman Catholics to
belong to the Odd Fellows, Knights of
Pythias and Sons of Temperance. The
circular says: You will remind those
who already belong to any of the afor-
said societies, that it is their imperative
duty to withdraw from them, under
penalty of being denied the Sacra-
ments.”

The Cold Wave.
The cold wave struck Norwalk yes-
terday. {hermometers took a drop of
several degrees and some snow fell, and
it looked at one time as if we were to
be visited by a blizzard. In the even-
ing it came ofl' clear, but a high wind
prevailed, and it was decidedly cold.
People who were out at 12 o’clock say
that thermometers registered 2 degrees
below Zero at that hour. The Wave is
still in town.

A Hint to Norwalk Officials.
Thomaston has a good way .Of getting

it back and exchange it for one of the
‘ second class, believing that a more pow-
erful machine would do better service
land gave better satisfaction. It was
i accordingly returned and on Tuesday,
l April 5th, 1859, a new engine came up
i on the steamboat Confidence, plying
‘3 between Norwalk and New York. On
f MOnday evening, April 11th, she was
‘ tried and accepted by the committee.
After the purchase of the engine a
number of members of the company
threatened to resign unless the commit-
tee built them a house in which to put
their apparatus, and accordingly in
September Elbert Raymond and Z. S.
Hawkins were given the contract to
erect the Phcenix Engine house, on
Water street, the former as carpenter
and the latter as mason. .—
The first alarm of fire that Phoenix
Engine Company responded to was on
November 2d, 1859, when some leaves
on East avenue were set on fire. It is
needless to say that they were the first
to arrive on the scene. ‘
The steamer which the new one will
replace was bought _of Cole Bros,, of

At St.Michael’s Roman - Catholic
church, in New Haven yesterday,
about 800 persons were in the ”church
. attending the funeral services of Raph-
ael Delgrego-who was murdered Thurs~
day by Lorenzo Caruso, when the floor
settled two inches and at the same time
the pillars which support the roof were
heard to crack. This so frightened the
congregation that they became panic
stricken and bursting the doors from
their hinges rushed out into the street,
leaving Father Beccherini alone with
. the corpse. One man suffered a broken

ably bruised and cut.

It was tested in, the morning and threw
a big stream through 500 feet of hose.
Au unsuccessful attempt was made to
take water from the bridge at low tide,
a distance of 28gfeet. :Another attempt
was made from the same place at nine
o’clock in the evening, a distance of 24

stream was thrown over the Liberty on
the flag-pole on the GAZETTE building.

Later,.when the present water works
system was adopted there were those
who were in favor of selling the steam-
er, but the suggestion did not meet
with favor, and. she was retained and
has since done great execution in the
saving of property.
At a meeting of the city council held
Oct. 16th, 1894, Chief Engineer Prowitt
promulgated the surprising intelligence
that the steamer 7 was comparatively
useless as it then stood, indeed that it
by a practical
engineer whom he had caused to in
spectit. He also .gave the figures at
which different fire engine builders had
offered ,to put it inrepair, but was of
the opinion that it‘ would be economy
to purchase a new machine.
After-some discussion it was voted to
call a city meeting to take action in the
matter of- having the steamer placed in
repair, the meeting to be held on Feb-
.ruar'y 23d. ‘ In the mean time the need
of a steamer became apparent by the
burning of a building at Prof. Har»
strom’s school on}. Prospect Hill. At
the meetingit seemed to be the sense
of those present that a new steamer be
purchased. As such expenditure could
.not be made on the call for the meeting
it was voted to call another meeting for
the following Monday, October 29th,
when it-r—w'as u-haiii'rribusly‘voted to in-
struct the city council to purchase a
new steamer. at a cost not in excess of
$4,000, and turn theold steamer in as
part payment,and’ the necessary amount
was appropriated} ,
At the next meeting of the council
held Tuesday, November. 6th, 21894, it
was voted to act-in accord with Llhe in.
structions of the city meeting. ,
The different ofl’ers of the fire engine
builders were considered and. after
some discussion it was decided to 'pur--
chase a “New American.” of the Amer~
