' Our Reasons.
TheScutinel expresses surprise that
the GAZETTE, Norwalk’s oldest news-
paper, opposes a submission of the town
court bill to the people and asks why
the GAZETTE does it. ‘
Before answering the Sentinel’s in-
quiry we would state that there are
three daily newspapers in Norwalk and
of that number the Sentinel stands
alone 1n support of _§ub_mission.
The GAZETTE thought that its posi-
tion. was understood, but in order to
set the Sentinel right we will say that
the GAZETTE is opposed to the submis-
sion clause because It is in favor of a
turn court and knows, as well as the
Sentinel does, that the clause has been
added for no other reason in the world
than to kill the bill.
The Sentinel knows that every crimi-
nal in town will work and vote against
a town court; that every man who has
escaped through our rotten justice sys-
tem will work and vote against it ; that
those Officials who have so ably bled
the town through the justice system
will work and vote against it; that
violators of the liquor laws who have
escaped by settling on the quiet, will
Work and vote against it; that w1th
this combination arrayed against ita
town court is endangered, and also that
if successful in defeating the measure,
Norwalk will be without either court or
justices for a year. leaving the town in 1
the hands of the lawless.
The above facts should be sufficient
to make any honorable journal in
favor of a town court, oppose submis-
sion, but still there is another reason
why the GAZETTE opposes it.
Article V, Sec. 1 of the Connecticut
anstitution says that the General As-
sembly shall ordain all cOurts. There-
fore, the proposed submission clause-
in the Norwalk town court bill is clear-
ly unconstitutional and it has been
placed there for no other purpose than
t) kill the court.
Now that the GAZETTE has answered
the Sentinel. will not the latter state
whether in the event of the bill being
passed with the submission clause at.
tiched, the Sentinel will support a
town court when it comes before the
people to vote upon. In other words,
is not the Sentinel Oppcsed to a town
court, submission or no submission?
A Lesson in Decency.
The Supreme Court of the state of
Maine has just rendered a decisirn
which is interesting to~the public gener~'
ally, and especially to railway travel—
ers. It appears that a man named Rob-
inson, while a passenger in a car of the
Backhand and Camden Street Railway
company, used profane language, not
only taking the name of God in vain in
the presence of passengers of both
sexes, but called the conductor “
damned liar,” and defied that official to
put him off the car. 'l‘hereupon the
conductor dumped Robinson, and left
him to get home “afoot and alone,”
which Robinson says he did “wet, mud-
dy and rheumatic.” For this treat-
ment the “wet, muddy and rheumatic”
Robinson brought suit against the rail-
way company, and a jury in the Knox
county Supreme Judicial Conrt gave
him a verdict, assessing his divers dam’
ages at $1,187. The mulchcd company
took anappcaltJ the highest judicial
tribunal in the state, and that august
bench has set aside the verdict, and in
so doing, has made sundry remarks
that have wide application, for the laws
of nearly all the stiles are substantially
identical with the Maine statute in re-
lation to profanity. The court says :
The conductors of cars on the trolley
lines in Norwalk should be directed to
do just what the lockland and Camden
conductor did, as there are too many
4‘
Ll
who appear to be affected with deafness
when a burly brute is outraging decen-'
cv by using profane or vile language in
tluzrtrCLtcars. .
lv annoyed by toughs and drunks both
by rough characters and persons dis-
Ladies have been great- V
l
latter being among the worst offenders.
There is- room for improvement in
this reapect here in Norwalk and con-
ductors should be given to understand
that, in ejecting passengers who insult
ladies and using forbidden words, that
they have not only their emplOyeI's but
the public and the courts on their side
in any contest that may ensue.
“In this state the use of indecent or
profane language in a street railway
car is a breach of the peace. It is a
crime for which a person may be pun-
ished by fine or imprisonment. And
the conductor of the car may immedi-
ately arrest any person guilty of such
a breach of the peace, and hold him
until a warrant can be obtained, or can
be placed in the custody of the proper
officers of the law. Or the conductor
may remove a person guilty of such a
byeach of the peace from the car. And
in the exercise of this right the con-
ductor acts asa police officer. When
indecent or profane language is being
used in his car, it is his duty to check
it, and he will be guilty of a breach of
duty if he fails to do so. And if, in a
car filled with passengers nearly one-
half of whom are ladies, a man in car-
nest conversation undertakes to empha-
size his statements, as some are apt to
do. by saying, ‘By God,’ it is so, or ‘By
God,’ it is not so, the law makes it the
duty of the conductor to check him;
and if the latter denies his guilt and
upon being assured by the conductor
that he was guilty, flies into a passion
and calls the conductor a ‘damned liar,’
it is the opinion of the court that he
may rightfully be removed from the
car, not as apunishment for his in-
sult to the conductor as an individual,
but to vindicate-the authority of the
law, which forbids the use of such lan-
guage in a street car or any other pub-
lic place where women and children
have a right to be.”
A Fake.
The dead body of Mrs. Michael Mal-
oney was found in an unoccupied room
in the block where she lived in Sauga-
tuck, yesterday morning, presenting
the appearance usually accompanying
death by apoplexy or heart diisease.
The finding of the body was report-
ed to Constable Allen by F. Salone the
finder, and a reporter and the good peo-
ple of the village, when Allen told the
tale to them, immediately started the
story that the woman had been mur-
dered, although there was not a fact to
show it, except that several other fami-
lies lived in the house with her and
that several of the number, as well as
she herself, were given to over-indul-
gence in alcoholic drinks. The coro-
ner, C. A. Doten, was'notified and
an eSpoinage of the woman’s husband.
Said Coroner Doten last night: “I
really can’t see why the suspicion of
murder should attach to this-case. Dr.
Powers has made a careful examination
and finds enough to conyince him that
the wom'an died from alcoholic apo-
plexy. There are no marks on the
body indicating foul play, no hint of
any reason why she should have been
murdered and in short no indication
that a murder has been committed.”
Thus another of the foul play stories
of which Westport and Saugatuck are
so prolific, is exploded.
The Battle Begins.
Just before noon to-day, Constable
Thomas Hunt placed an attachment on
the market and grocery store of E. J.
Wadhams on Wall street, to cover an
alleged claim for $700 sworn out by
Attorney Joseph A. Gray. It is under-
derstood that the attorney for Mr.
Wadhams claims that the attachment
is one of malicious persecution. It will
be remembered that during Mr. Wad-
hams’ recent financial troubles Mr. Gray
acted as his attorney, and during the
sudden absence of Wadhams in the
south, had charge of the settlement of
his affairs. Wadhams on his return
north was not satisfied with the manner
that settlements had been effected, and
it is said intimated that the charges of
Mr. Gray wege excessive. True it is,
the case is a complicated one, and At-
torney Light acting for Mr. Wadhams
will do his prettiest to untangle the
same, even though the “string” may
lead to rich and startling developments.

PASSED BY lllli HOUSE
The NorWalk Town Court Blll
Aoted Upon To-Day.
The Submisslon Clause Kllled.
[SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE]
The bill for the establishment of a
Town Court'in Norwalk was taken up
in the House to day, immediately after
the assembling of that body.and after a
1,short but somewhat warm fight was
passed unanimously, with the clause
submitting. the bill to the people for a
vote, struck out.
' Representative Keeler took the floor
at the outset, and made an excellent.
speech in favor of the bill. He said
that he had irterviewed a large number
of people in Norwalk and all were in
favor of a Towr'r‘Court; that the Con-
stitution of the state says that the Gen-
eral Assembly shall organize the Court
and therefore he was in favor of passing
the bill without the submission clause
attached.
Representatives Judson, Lounsbury,
Gunn and others followed in favor of
the bill. ' I
Representative Rowan, of South Nor-
walk, offered an amendment to change
the date for holding the election on the
question of approving‘or disapproving
the Court from Oct. let to May 11th,
next. This was voted down. _
Mr. Rowan was asked the direct ques-
tion by a member, whether he favored
a Town" Court for Norwalk, but for
some reason refused to reply.
~The question of passing the .bill with
the submission clase attached, was then
put and voted down, but two members
voting in the affirmative, one of whom
was Representative Rowan.
The question then recur red on the
anSsage of the bill with the submission
eliminated and it was passed unan-
mously.
The bill now goes back to the Senate
for concurrence.

The following is a sample .of the
methods adopted in obtaining names
in favor of submittingthe town court
bill to the people :
Sentinel reporter, approaching citi-

the town court bill to a vote of the peo:
ple, or do you want it rammed down
your throat? ”
Citizen, astonished—“I don’t want
anything rammed down my throat.”
Out comes the pencil and down goes
the name of Mr. Smith with the oppo-
sition.

Peculiar Methods.
. A New York cigar firm tried 8. dodge
on some lccol dealers the other day,
from which they are not liable to reap
much of a revenue. The dealers re-
ceived by express one thousand cigars
and a show- -case, upon which they were-
only required to make an immediate
payment of the expressage, .amounting
to thirty -five cents. Our local dealers
are “up to snuff, ” however, and refused
to receive the goods which they had
never ordered, and in each instance
they were returned at the expenseof
the shippers.

LONDON, April 16. —The Post. editorial-

Morgan to know that the goldfield dis-
trict is not included in the territory cover-
ed by the former survey. ”
