With Giant Strides.
One bright star in the world of busi-
ness depression is the fifty-second
annual statement of the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, of New York,
published in the GAZETTE. The state-
ment shows that the Mutual Life leads
all other companies in the world with
assets at over $204,000,000. The giant
giant. stride made by this company
during the past year of financial de-
pression and uncertainty is remarkable
and unprecedented. ~

What Defeated Pattison.
Robert E. Pattison, says the Demo-
cratic Philadelphia Times, was defeated
for Mayor in Philadelphia yesterday
by an overwhelming majority, solely
because of the utter imbecility of the
Democratic congress. While the Demo-
crats are not wholly responsible for the
failure of the present congress to meet
the imperious wants of the Nation, they
are justly held responsible by the peo-
ple, and so profound is the conviction
as to the incompetency of our present
Democratic congress that the sirens.'
republican city of Philadelphia closed
its eyes to the necessity for municipal
reform, because it felt that it could not
afford to give even the semblance of a
democratic Victory.

Fish in the Sound.
Sooner or later there will scarely be
any fish in the Sound unless something
is done to prevent the detruction of
them. A gradual diminution of salt
water food fish is reported all along
the coast. This destruction is caused
in most cases by willful violation Of
game laws. The fish phosphate fac-
tories for instance, cause the disappear-
ance of immense quantities of bluefish,
bass and scoup. The gill nets at the
entrance to harbors and bays have al-
most exterminated the striped bass,
which once was very plentiful, while
enlv spring pound nets are set for
alewives, filtfis'i, smelts and flounders,
and these are caught by the ton and
SpZ'SLCl. upon the ground as fertilizer.
The most obstructive nets probably are
the pounds, since they are made of
fine meshed netting and cover an im-
mense area. In some instances thcsc
nets are 4,000 feet in length and natur.
ally catch immense quantities of can'
ners, killies, butterfish, white perch,
and young fry of the blackfish and sea
bass which frequent our' waters.—

NorwalK Club Reception.
Club, last evening, was one of the most
brilliant events of the season, and the
spacious parlors of this popular organi-
zation were crowded with the society
people of Norwalk, while many Out of
town friends were present and enjoyed
the club’s hospitality.
‘ The club house was handsomely illu-
minated with electric lights with here
and there a. colored globe shedding
forthasubdued shade of red, which
added to the tints of the handsome cos-
tumes of the ladies produced a scene
long to be remembered.
The mantels and corners of each room
were filled with palms and ferns while
about the handsome chandeliers smilax
was twined, until the interior of the
building resembled a tropical garden of
rare beauty.
As the guests arrived the reception
committee at the head of the broad
stairway received each one in knightly
style and directed them to the dressing
rooms at each side of the hallway.
Stationed in one corner of the main
parlor was Moesliu’s famous orchestra,
from New York, which made the
house resound with sweet music, to
which the lovers of Terpsichore danced
the happy hours away.
During the evening’s pleasures, Ca_
terer DeKlyn served his delicious ices,
cakes and bon bone, to which the guests
did ample justice.
When the hour of 12:30 arrived the
guests were reminded that the recep-
tion ofl’95 was over and carriages were
ordereu and each and all took their de-
parture, hOping that when ’96 rolled
around, they would be there to again
enjoy the hospitality of the Norwalk
Club.
To the committee of arrangements is
due the thanks of the club and its hosts
of friends for the able manner in which
they carried out the reception and the
happy time enjoyed by all.~

A Wrong impression.
Norwalk’s grand list, just footed up,
is $13,850,836. Last year it was $6,468,»
168. The grand list of Stamford city
is ovér $17,000,000. It is claimed that
the Norwalk assessors listed property
at real value this year. If they did, it
is a mighty poor town, is Norwalk, as
compared with this wealthy one of
ours. The grand list of the town of
Stamford is not yet made up, but it
will probably be about $9,000,000.—

Sensible Bills.
Among the bills presented in the
General Assembly, Tuesday were the
following:
Senator Ferris, a bill granting‘to the
bank commissioners the same power
over building and loan associations
that they now have over banks. Passed
under suspension of the rules.
Representative Keeler of Norwalk
submitted a bill providing that“ on the
application of 100 or more citizens of
any town, all trains passing through
the railroad station must come to a
standstill. Mr. Keeler also presented
an act to preventthe‘black-Iisting of
employes by employers. Also a bill to
prevent the refining of oil on the shores
of Connecticut.
Knocked Down by a Coach.
John Henry Aiken met with an acci-
dent Tuesday evening, which fortunate-
ly did not prove to be of a serious
nature. He was crossing Wall street
and in stepping one side to avoid a
passing trolley car, stepped directly in
front of a coach driven by Wilbur
Hubbard. The pole struck Mr. Aiken
squarely in the breast, and he fell
directly in front of the horses. Before
the driver could stop the team the
horses and the coach passed over Mr.
Aiken’s prostrate body, but oddly
enough neither of them struck him.
Capt. Dann and others ran to his as-
sistance and he was carried into
Ralston’s news office, where he quickly
revived and was able to walk home.
When he fell Mr. Aiken dropped
seventy-five cents in the snow which
was soon after found and returned to
the owner.

Special Town Meeting.
A special town meeting was held at
theTown House, Tuesday afternoon.
A large percentage of those present
were from Five Mile River, they being
the ones most directly interested in the
petition for the meeting which was
called for the following purposes:
To take action upon the petition of Charles .
W. Bell and others requesting that the Select-
men be instructed to Widen the public high-
way at Five Mile River between the bridge at
the head of the river and the westerly end of
Lincoln avenue, to a convenient Width, not;
exceeding 45 feet. throughout its whole length.
itilrlld tltiat the necessary appropriation be made
ere or.
Town clerk Herbert R. Smith read
the call, after which Francis Leonard
was elected moderator.
The following resolution was pre-
sented:
Resolved, That~the Selectmen be
and they hereby are instructed and di-
rectedto widen according to law, the
public highway at FiveMile River, be-
tween the bridge at .the head of the
river and the westerly end of Lincoln
avenue, to a convenient width not ex-
ceeding forty feet throughout its whole
length, according to a map and survey
made by C. N. Wood, civil engineer,
and to cause condemnation proceedings
to be taken to acquire land therefore if
necessary, and to cause to be assessed,
collected and paid benefits and damages
arising therefrom, and '
Resolved, That the sun of five hun-
dred dollars be and the same hereby is
appropriated from the treasury of the.
town for the purposes above stated.
Charles W. Bell spoke in favor of the.
passage of the resolution, and among
other things said that the improvement"
of property in any one section of the
town was to the benefit of the whole
town. Rowayton people spent money
in all parts of the town. The question
of localities, ought never to be raised
he said at a town meeting.
Isaac Selleck was of the opinion that-
the improvements were for the special-
benefit of the Tramway company and
the company ought to pay for them.
He was in favor of every improvement
whereby the town was to be benefitted.
Charles Bell replied that the town
had assisted the Tramway company
in layouts in other parts and ought not
to discriminate against the section
known as Rowayton.
Charles Olmstead agreed with the
remarks of Mr. Bell as to what he
termed a truism when he said that what
was a benefit to one part of the town
was a benefit to the entire town. Had
livedin Norwalk for frilly forty yearsg
and had seen the place grow from a
population of 4,000 to about 20,000.
Said he could scarcely remember of any
improvement being suggested in town
that had not met with some opposition.
The Tramway and Street Railway were
he believed, both of benefit tofthe town.
Attorney Walsh said that the high-
ways were owned by‘ithe State‘é' The
State had granted the Tramway a
charter and nothing could prevent them
running their rails through the high--
ways. He thought the. prayer of. the
people of Rowaytonn-‘ought to be
granted. .

vote, after; Which the -meetiug ad-'
