‘Town Court Bill.
The GAZETTE has been informed that
the judiciary committee of the legisla-
Itlll‘C refuses to report the new town
court bill with the amendment that it
be submitted t) the people. This is as
it should be.
t It is true that a certiin few have
labored in season and out of season to
defeat the bill and have requested that
it be submitted to the people. It is also
true that they have made gigantic ef-
forts to have the senator from this dis-
trict and the two representatives from
Norwalk tack the submission amend-
ment t0 the bill, after it is reported.
This clique deSJre to kill the bill. They
would not have it passed under any cir-
cumstances, and their only hope lies in
having it submitted in order that they
may try to crush it.
The 2900ch have not asked to have it
submitted, and until they do it might
be well for our senator and representa-
become a law.
Everyone knows that we need it. Our
Justice courts are a blot on Norwalk’s
fair name and the sooner we are rid of
them the better.

A Good Officer Retires.
The city couit at South Norwalk has
been presided over for some time by
Justice Edward Barrett, who was elect—
ed on the democratic ticket. At the
last election Alonzo W. Smilh,repnb-
lican, was elected a justice and this
morning occupied the bench for the
lint time.
In retiring, Justice Barrett leaves
behind him a record of which he may
well be proud. Since he has presided
over the couit he has been more than
courteous and has lent dignity to the
office never befor know. He has dealt
out justice as his conscience dictated
without fear or favor, and in his retire-
ment the GAZETTE desires to express its
regret in parting with one who was
ever courteous and Obliging to its
represent itive assigned to report cases
czming before him.
Holman’siAdvice.
Mr. Holman. the great objectJr, says
at the close of thirty-five years of ex-

theless. The young men will argue

herself and she married.
Young men will go into public life,
despite the fact that so many old men
have found it made up of illusions and
disappointments, and this I
courage is a lucky provision of nature,
both as to the man and the woman.
Bad as we sometimes deem our legis-
lators and Congress we should hardly
know how to get on with the machinery
of the State, if all the young men
follow iloiman’s advice, and keep out
sanguine
of public life.

The Sum of $34,825 Atpropriated"
and a Tax 0i Seven MlllS Laid.
$4,000 for the Highways.
The adjournediannual city meeting
was held in the Town House, Monday,
perhaps 150 persons being present. The
meeting was called for the following
purposes:
1. To take such action as may be deemed
expedient. upon the estimates made and pre-
pared by the Council of said city, of the
amounts of money needed for the different
departments of the city government, for the
next ensuing fiscal year.
2. To make such appropriations for each of
the departments of the ,city government,as
may be deemed necessary and proper for the
next ensuing fiscal year.
3. To lay a tax upon the ratable estate
within said city, contained in the assessment
list last completed, to an amount sufficient to
meet and provide for the apprOpriations made
at said meeting.
4. To hear any reports, and transact any
other business that may properly come before
said meeting. .
Mr. J. A. Osborn in the absence of
Mayor Hubbell acted as Moderator.
The reports of the City Treasurer,
Treasurer of the Water Fund, City
Clerk and Water Commissioners were
read, and later in the meeting ordered
printed, it the Council so decided, in
the GAZETTE and the Hour.
The following sums were almost
unanimously voted the different de-
partments: Administrative. $4,000;
Finance, 3512, 500; Police, 354, 875; Lights,
$6,750; Sewer. $1,200; Highway, $4,000;
Fire, $2,000, or a total of $34,825.
The amount asked for the highway
department was the subject of some
discussion on the part of ex-Burgess
McMullen, B. W. Maples, Dr. J. G.
Gregory and Isaac Selleck, but the
situation was satisfactorily explained
by Chairman Smith of the highway
committee and passed with but a few
dissenting votes.
The appropriations asked for and
granted were something in excess of
$2,800 over last year‘s estimates.
Mr. A. H. Camp, when the matter of
laying atax was reached, made a motion
that a tax of seven mills be voted. This
motion brought Mr. B. W. Maples to
his feet, who stated that the city was in
debt $14,860 more than one year ago,
and that the appropriations voted did
not cover “extraordinary expenses”
which as in the past were apt to accrue,
and suggested that the 1'. 1X be at least 8
mills as business policy.
After some remarks on the part of
A. E. Austin, E. S. Adams and others,
it was voted that a t ix of seven mills be
laid.
Attorney J. J. Walsh moved that the
several reports be printed and it was so
voted.
The meeting then adjourned without
date.

The Manly Art.
:fl‘hc Bridgeport Union, last week,
published an interesting and amusing
letter from R. Chamberlend, of Mam-
aroneck, in which he undertakes to say
that Keefe did not offer to fight Mc-
Girr of Bridgeport at 122 pounds.
Dan McIntire announced the challenge
from the ring at the recent S. N' A. C.
entertainment and distinctly stated 122
pounds. Master-of-ceremonies Sharps
instantly accepted the challenge on be—
half of McGirr, and offered t) meet
Keefe’s representative that night and
post the money with any newspaper in
town. The most amusing part of Mr.
Chamberlends letter, however, is where
he refers to the go between Keefe and
Scullv and says that Keefe could have
put the Danbury man out in the second
round if he had desired. In the round
referred to, Scully had Keefe down
with his back bent over the edge of the
floor of the ring and was “thumping”
him at agreat rate when the referee
separated them.
Keefe and Scully will meet again at
the entertainment of the S. N. A. C.
on Friday and an enteresting bout will
take place.
Washington Notes.
Mayor James T. Hubbell, Congress-
man—elect Hill and Speaker Fessenden
were “in at the death” of congress, at
the National capitol yesterday. Fes—

bell took the Washington dz Norfolk
boat last night for a trip down the Poto-
mac to Fortress Monroe, from whence,
via the Seaboard rail line he goes to
join his family at their South Carolina
winter home.
L. M. Monroe was confirmed as l’ost-
master at New Canaan, at 40’clock
yesterday morning.
Just before adjournment Senator
Gormun made a report upon the Sey-
mour-Quincy Patent Office investiga-
tion, and although it was not in all re-
spects strictly commendatory, no such
adverse criticism of Commissioner
Seymour's action, is indulged in as
is charged in a prematnroreport sent
out last week.
When the Senate committee to wait
on the President and inquire if‘he had
any further communications to make,
returned .and reported to the Senate
that the President had informed them
that “he had no further use for Con-
gress,” that grave and reverend body
of solemn solons went off in an outburst
of uproarious laughter.

The suggestion is made. and it seems
a good one, that a fire alarm box he

Our Temperance Friends.
Monday was the fifty-first anniver-
sary of that good old Concord Division,
S. of ’1‘. of Norwalk. A temperance
organization that has probably done
more in the cause they espouse than
any other similar organization in the
state of Connecticut; It was a. jubilee
night and the good ladies of the Order
had provided a feast of entertainment
forthe mind and body such as is not
often met with. A number of the Grand
Officers were present, among them be-
P. W. G, P. Charles A. Baldwin, P. W.
G. A. George A. Bill of New Haven,
both of whom made telling addresses.
Mr. Lewis Hubbell made an address in
which he incidentally stated that he
joined the cause in Westport, many
years ago, and gaveinteresting rt ttistics
ofliis work for “old Concord.” The
reporters and others would have been
pleased to have listened to that veteran
in the cause William A. Kellogg, who
excused himself from speaking by pre-
senting some four or more reporters
with a- fnnd of cake and sandwiches
supplemented by. mugs of Mocha.
Among the numbers on the pro-
gramme especially worthy of. mention
were an address by Mrs. E. A. Leeds
of New Haven, banjo solos by Messrs.
H' Peck and Albert Dunn, accompanied
by Mr. Fred Jennings on the piano; an
address by Robert W. Post of Harmony
Division, Westport; a solo by Mrs. L.
D. Keeler; a piano solo by Prof. Kemp-
ton, of Stamford, etc.
The feast that followed the literary
and musical part of the enteitrinment
fully substantiated the remark made by
the GAZETTE some years since, that the
ladies of this order and their friends
provide a cuisine that is fit for the pal-
ate of an epicure.
The GAZETTE congratulates Concord
on its remarkable vitality at the age of
fifty-one years, and wishes it the con-
tinued prosperity, that is sure 1 to
follow an organization that'prOYides so
much happiness for its friends.
