The attempt of several opponents of the town court bill, and the amendment offered by Representative Rowan, to make the matter of its acceptance or rejection a sectional one, is all wrong and should not be tolerated by the judiciary committee. For years and years the two ends of Nerwalk have waged a bitter sectional fight. Whenever Norwalk favored a public improvement, South Norwalk opposed it, and vice versa. It is now time that the Norwalks came together and threw away this scalping knife and buried forever this boyish nonsense. At present the two cities within the one town are but mere spots upon the We are the laughing stock of the state. We can have no govern- ment building because both cities want them. We amount to nothing politi- cally. In fact both cities are a nonen, tity. This trouble can be quickly remedied if all will but come together and unite in one large and glorious Norwalk. The Gaznrrn has advocated this for years, but if the present attempt to create further sectional feeling is al. lowed to continue, we shall be just as far apart as ever. Norwalk wants a town court and wants it badly.~ ”The present justice of the peace system is a farce and a dis. grace to an educated community and a travesty on justice. There is no jus- ice in it and the sooner the people realize that they are being taxed to support this rotten system, the sooner will we have a town court. But the GAZETTE does not believe that because a ceterie of men desire to continue the sectional strife between the Norwalks the large majority of our people should be prevented from enjoying the bene- fits of a town court. if the judiciary committee believe that the town court bill should be sub- mitted to the people, well and good. Let them decide it, but not on section- alism as is proposed by the chosen few. Let the matter be decided by the whole town, it it must be, and the GAZETTE is willing to believe that the intelligent people of Norwalk and its heavy taxpayers, will decide that we have journeyed under a rotten justice of the peace system long enough, and will roll up a large majority for a town court. The majority of our people are in favor of a town court and it is the merele assumption for any set of men to stand up and say that the people of Norwalk are opposed to it. Give the whole people a chance to say what they want and do not place them in a posi- tion where failure is assured because several gentlemen desire to continue he sectional feeling which‘has cursed Norwalk for years. Stop this sectional business gentle- men, and come together and live in harmony. Will Work Both Ways. The approval Of a power of removal bill by Governor Morton has made Mayor Strong the Mayor in fact as well as inname, clothing him with powers quite as great as those possessed by the Mayor of Philadelphia. Hereafter if the people of NemYork want a revolu- tion in the executive department of their municipal government they can secure it by the election on one Official —-the Mayor. This simplifies the prob- lem of city government by eliminating all side issues that might tend to dis- tract the attention Of the voters from the object they seek. That the New York form of city gov- - ernnient is still a thing of shreds and patches in many Of its features will hardly be questioned, but it is placed at last under one responsible head. The Mayor cannot excuse himself for an administrative failure on the plea of lack of power to bring all departments into harmonious relations. If he wants a purely partisan administration which Wlll pension partisan heelers on the public treasury he can have it, and if he wants an honest, efficient, business administration, conducted upon purely business principles solely for the pub- lic good, he can have that, too. NO one doubts that Mayor Strong, who has begun to weed out the l‘am- many spoils-men, will striVo with up- flinching (:‘iul‘uge to the best of his ability to give New York a real reform city administration during his term of Office. If the New York voters will always select Mayors Of Mr. Strong’s upright character and proved capabil- ity the problem of good government for that city v-ill have been solved. But the power of removal law will prove quite as potent a power for evil in the hands of a weak or bad Mayor as it will for good in the hands of a 60991. we: . ‘Eugene F. preciated. Found Guilty. . .

Secretary Mills of the Broad River school district says that the call for the special sooool meeting in that district next Monday evening, is to take action on the subject as to whether the school building shall be opened for religious services and not as a local newspaper would have the public believe,to decide on the matter of opening the same for the Latter Day saints. Liquor Law Ruling. In charging the jury in the case_of John Kelly, of Stamford, charged With violating the liquor laws, in the com~ mon pleas court, yesterday, Judge Car- roll said in effect that if a person is seen in a saloon, even though he be working, and is given a drink by the person in charge after hours, that is dispensing eer and the persOn dOin.g so is guilty of a violation of the law. c o t —-———;—— Narrow Escape. A little girl while engaged in coasting down hill at Railroad Place, near Water street, one morning this week, had a narrow escape from being killed. As her sled neared the railroad tracks she saw a locomotive approaching, and with rare presence of mind for a child, rolled off from the sled, which flew directly in front of the locomotive and was hurled a hundred feet or more. Coasting at this point is dangerous and should be stopped before some seri- ous accident happens. in Royal Purple. Kabaosa Encampment, No. 9, I. O. O.

Last evening about nine o’clock the notorious Jim Ellis and a drunken com- panion staggered through Wall street and attempted to enter the Opera House. Captain Dann stood in the doorway and ordered him away, but instead Of obeying Ellis showed fight. He insisted on going inside, and in a voice that could be plainly heard on Main street, called Captain Dunn the vilest of names and heaped all kinds of abuse upon him. A large crowd of citizens gathered about to witness the outcome of the disgraceful affair, but Ellis was escorted by the Captain tothe beat of Officer Morehouse on Main street, and there told that if he did not go home he would be locked up. Con- siderable censure was heard on the course of Captain Dann. O. Chlld Labor. The report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for 1894 is a very inter esting document. In reference to child labor the Bureau presents statistics ob- tained from the principals of many of the grammar schools of the State, which show that the great majority of the children do not vauire a common school education at the age when the law permits them to leave school and to seek employment». With the age limit of employment raised from thir- teen to fourteen years, the number who would finish the grammar school course would be increased, while many others would have the advantage of at least nine more months in school at a very impressionable age, with a. resultant gain in the future manhood and woman- hood of the commonwealth. ow——-—- An U nfortunate Error. The following letter from the secre- tary of the executive committee Of the Httispital association is of special inter- es : EDITOR GAZETTE.— ' There seems to be a general impres- smn about town that the hospital has sufficient funds for all its present needs. This is an unfortunate error due to a misunderstanding. We hasten to cor- rect it. _The association holds property, the Site for future building, valued at $5,000, and it will soon receive $5,000 from the State, appropriated for building only. All other monies raised and contributed, have necessari- ly been used for current expenses. Up to the present time we have had funds enough, but now we are sorely in need of gifts. Many of the members ot last year have failed to renew their sub- scriptions, and fewer “benefits” have been given. The expenses, however, continue, and we must have funds to meet them. It is an emergency to which our townspeople should respond generously. Every dollar will be app- _ We hope soon to have a regular stated income from an appropriation. In the meantime we ask the friends Of the Hospital to give what they can, and help to raise money.

' A meeting of the Ladies’ Aid society was held at the home of Mrs. James S. Lyon, on Knight street, Wednesday. Among other business transacted was, that of appointing a committee to con- suit with Pastor Robbins and learn. as to whet! or or not it would be pleasmg to him that the society give an enter- tainment some date this month at the home of the lady who presided at the meeting, Mrs. John J. Jarvis. The society is doing a good work and it is believed that the pastor is in accord with that work. . . . .-.____.____ Fortunate Dlscoverv. . About two o’clock, yesterday morn- ing. Mrs. Michael Sullivan who lives on Ply-mouth avenue, was awakened by a. suffocating smell of smoke. She arous- ed her husband and upon investigation it was found that a lounge in the sewing room was on fire. The flames were extinguished by a few Well directed pails of water, but not before about— $100 worth of damage had been done. The lodnge was destroyed, carpet and sewing machine ruined, bureau and contents burned, and also some wearing apparel belonging to Mr. Sullivan des- troyed. The loss was covered by insur- ance. But for the timely awakening of Mrs. Sullivan the house would un- fire had commenced eating its way into the floor. .0. The New Steamer Not Satisfactory. A seOond test was given the new fire engine Phoenix, yesterday afternoon, and the result was in no wise satisfac- tory. ' The test was witnessed by a. large number of our citizens and took place from the rear of the Prowitt company’s store, water being taken from the river. The best of coal had been provided and everything was favorable for a fair test of the machine. Engineer Aiken watched its every movement and fire- man Bartram was active in keeping up a fire for the generating of steam. The pointer on the steam dial quickly ran up to the 20 mark after the starting Of the fire, and from that to 40, to 100 and 140, and then as if ashamed of itself commenced to drOp backward and In less than five minutes after the pump was started settled down as if weary at the cipher mark. While there was a sufficient quantity of steam a stream was thrown through a two inch nozzle over 200 feet, and through a 14,,1 inch "nozzle 8. distance of 300 feet. Eight trials were given the engine, each and all being unsatisfac- tory. Over half a ton of coal was burned in efiorts to get the engine, to hold steam, but without avail. Could the steam guage have been kept at even an 80 pound pressure, there would have been a certain degree of satisfaction, that amount of pressure being all thatis ordinarily required. Several theories were advanced as to the cause Of the failure to keep steam, the most reasonable one being that the pumps were tdo powerful for its steam capacity. - The manufacturers were advised of the failure and telegraphed to Chief Prowitt that Engineer Wessels of the company would be here on Friday, and‘a still further test will be given: .00 A Good Day’s Pay. A good story is told at the expense Of ex-selectman Andrew Selleck, now of Stratford. Some years since a man named McNerny was reported to him as being insane. Mr. Selleck, after in- vestigating, concluded to have the man sent to the Town Farm until such time as he could be transferred to an asylum. He engaged two men and instructed them to hire two more men and trans. fer the patient to the Farm. The men were to receive $1.50 each for their services. When the hour arrived for the transfer but three men put in an appearance. The work, however, was promptly and expeditiously executed and the men returned to the selectmen’s office for their pay. Mr. Selleck turned over $1.50 to each Of them, after which he asked, “where is the other man?” “He is not here, but I will go out and find him,” said one of the men whom we will call Mike, as that was his name. Suiting his action to the words Mike went out on the street and seeing a. friend standing near with a large over- coat on he said “Faith, Pat but that’s a fine coat, let me have it for about five minutes and I’ll do the square thing by you.” Pat stripped the coat off and soon it enveloped Mike, who went back into the store. “Are you the fourth man?”queried Selleck. “That’s what Iam,”said Mike. “Well, here’s your $1.50,” said Selleck as he placed the money in Mike’s palm. Mike, with a “Thank you sir, Mr. Selleck,” was soon out on the street, and with his friend started for a Main street saloon. He was heard to remark. “Sure that was a good day’s work. And may every one of the McNernev’s go crazy, an I be the man that will escort them to a place of safety.” ”coo—— THE ESCAPE. How aYoung Lover Narrowiy Es— caped an Expensive Trip. “Darling,” she said, as she nestled closer to him and looked up With a fond gaze into the eyes of her lover, “you know all the preparations for our wed- ding have been made. The cards are out, my trousseau is complete, but there is one little matter that has not yet been settled.” “I presume you refer, dear," he re~ plied, lovingly holding her hand in his, “to our wedding trip ?” . - “You have guessed it, you dear sweet boy,” she cried joyfully, “and let’s de- cide where we Will go.” ~ “Let me see," taking out his note- book. “There’s Niagara and Washing- ton and Old Pomt Comfort and"— “No, dear,” she interrupted, “I don’t want to go to any Of those places.” “Perhaps you would like to go to some real quiet place,” he continued, “where we could be all alone by ourselves But, my darling, what is the matter with you? You are not ill, are you?” Her face had become ashen pale. Controlling herself by a supreme effort, she said: “Can you not guessit? Don‘t . you see where I wont to go?”'-And she whispered something in his ear. Two hours later the figure of a soli- tary man might have been seen scurry. ingr along to find the reserved seat sale for Lillian Kennedy in "‘She Couldn’t "A Valieriitlne Party. _ ,Mrs. Emily.

Velvet Blouses are popular. Plain Skirts are also Fashionable. Fashions in midwinter are nothremarki” able for new ideas or suggestive indica- tions of the coming modes, but there is a. spirit of unrest about them which brings many contradictions as to the changes we may expect. One authority asserts that the prospective skirts are to be made entirely without the haircloth lining and popular godet plaits, and that the sleeves are to be visibly reduced in size, while another positively assures us that the skirts are to be much fuller, stiffened and plaited to stand out well from the waist with the effect of a bustle. and sleeves more balloon-like than ever. But Whatever may be in prospect, there is no question as to the immediate con- dition of fulness, and we may continue to model our gowns after the approved style of the day. ' The skirts still vary in width between five and eight yards around at the bottom and the sleeve is constantly developing a new variety. The latest evening sleeve is simply a large bow of satin, velvet or ribbon about six inches wide, arranged high on the shoulder, with one large loop falling each way, and a knot or rosette in the middle. Satin loops are made double, and loops of velvet arelined with silk, while ribbon is tied in a bow with ends. A soft drapery of satin around the armhole is caught close at the top, and from this a. frill of Spangled lace falling down nearly to the elbow, is another pretty fancy. Sleeves are cut so that all the fulness comes from underneath in- stead of at the top of the arm, and again, to show the outline of the arm, at the in: aide, with the fulness falling at the back. The broad, sloping effect is given to the shoulders by wide, plain epaulets and fan plaitings of satin or velvet, edged with lace, as shown. Blouses of velvet in a different color from the skirt are a very popular style in Paris. They are made quite plain, and worn with crepon, smooth cloth and silk skirts. There is no disputing the fact that this}, is an extravagant period of dress, but there is such an endless variety in mate- rials and ideas for using them that the fashions in vogue are compatible with small expense as well as large. Plain skirts are-quite as fashionable as those which are trimmed elaborately with fur and jet, and at the moment nothing is more popular for dress trimmingthau black satin ribbon, which is not Wildly extravagant even if many yards are re- quired. Apretty idea for a colored cre- pon or plain woolen goods is to arrange bows of black satin ribbon five inches wide, with steel buckles in the centre, at intervals all around the bottom Of the skirt. The bodice should be of silk, the same shade as the skirt, studded all over with irridescent jet, and across the front in the form of a yoke two bands of nar- rower ribbon. The belt. of black, must have-a. bow and long ends at either side of the front. Rose color, in all its shades, is still popular, and a- new tone resembles the damask rose, with a. shadow of black about it. which makes it very rich, espe- cially in velvet. It is said that the tailor gowns of the early spring are to be quite lavishly and expensively trimmed with bands of the cloth stitched on in scroll patterns, with braiding, or with narrow bias bands of black satin, which is the latest fancy. These bands outline the seams of the Waist and skirt. , Sashes are very popular again, particu- larly when they are‘of the new chine rib- bons. A plain blue taffeta. silk, made up plain for a young girl, has a sash of blue and pink chine ribbons. It is tied in a large bow in the back, and the ends fall on either side of the plaits in the skirt. Pale green silk makes a. very pretty even- ing dress, with chine ribbon for a. twist. around the-neck, butterfly bows 'on the” shoulder as a substitute for sleeves.‘ and a belt and sash at the back. Blue or pink creponsmakcu'seful dresses, and trimmed with lace insertion, two rows around the skirt, and striped on the front of the full waist,they are exceedingly pretty.
