Important Work.
The fact should be more widely known
than it is, so that the invaluable char-
acter of the work may be morefully ap-
preciated, that Rev. C. M. Selleck is en-
gaged upon an elaborate history of
ancient and modern Norwalk. He has
spent many of the best years of his life
in dilligent bngraphical and, historical
research and his work when completed,
will be an invaluable compendium of
our town’s residents and affairs. Mr.
Selleck specially desires that any one
having ancient records of Norwalk'peo-
ple or events, would kindly place them
in his hands for ‘ reference and use.
Any well authenticated personal rem-
iniscences of “ye olden times” either
as to town or personal matters, will al-
so be thankfully received by the author
of the forth-coming “History of Nor-
walk.” It is a labor of love and loyalty
to hisnative town. on the part of Mr.
Selleck and any son and daughter of
old Norwalk, who can aid him in the
important work, should do so with an
eager promplness. The book when
finished, promises to be the noblest
monument the worthy author could
possibly leave behind him, to inspire. the
gratitude and reverence of succeeding
.. generations Of Norwalk people.
{Timely lnterposltlon.
It was'quite fit and proper that our
government should take vigorous meas-
“creek~ toA iprelvent the embarkation of
bodies of armed men leaving this coun-
try to take part in the Cuban revolution.
NO doubt our people as a rule sympa—
thiZe with the rcvolutionists, though
chiefly, perhaps, on sentimental
grounds; but we have no right as a na-
tion to connive at any practical demon~
stralion cf that feeling. We are on
terms of friendship with Spain, have no
grievance or cause of animosity against
her, and not Ling could be more indec-
orous than to encourage or even to
wink at- the organization in this country
of expeditions hostile to the Spanish
government. The administration has
. acted none too promptly bit too posi-
tively in the premises.
We made a vast noise of protest and
complaint when, during the war of the
‘ rebellion, England gave shelter and
hospitality to the Confederate cruiser
Alabama, and not long after the termi-
nation of the war we compelled Eng-
land to pay pretty heavily for her im-
prudent hostility. Is it not Equally in-
cumbent on us to see that we avoid such
,acts as those which we resented so bit-
terly in Great Britain? We have our
sympathies, of course. Nothing can
change that. But we owe it to our-
selves, to out honor as a nation, to
every consideration of propriety and
good faith, to keep our sympathies at
home.
We are glad the government has
moved iii the matter. It was high time
to puta stop to the perilous and dis-
graceful nonsense in question.

Police Reform in New York.
With a new commission, a new chief
and a new corps of inspectors, acting
under the general supervision of a new
Mayor, the New York police organiza-
tion is well on the Way towards becom-
ing a brand new organization in all
that the term implies.
None except the retired officials and
their henchmen will dispute the wis-
dom of the rerolution. The old Com-
mission was a Tammany combination.
Chief Byrnes had become rich in his
”office and the subordinates seem to
have been largely employed in feather—
ing their own nests rather than in en-
forcing thc law. With a partisan spoils
commission at the head of a force hon?
eycombcd with oorruption,no reorgan—
ization was possible that did not in-
clude a. clean sweep. '

that its police dead-wood is going.

Grace Church Entertainment.
The supper and entertainment given
by the ladies of Grace church at the
Opera House. last evening, was like all
previous efforts of the ladies of'this
growing parish, a decided success. The
hall had been beautifully decorated
with flowers and the gallery supports
were also entwined with smilax and
flowers. The tables fairly groaned un-
der the weight Of the good things and
the bright and handsome young wait-
resses were kept busy from 6 until 11
o’clock supplying the demands of their
patrons. For the musical part of the
programme under Miss Jennie K. Nash,
the stage was set with a garden scene.
The plants, flowers and decorations
were beautiful while the musical selec—
tions rendered were far above the aver—
age, especially was this true. of the
ladies quarto-tie and male quintcttc.
One of the most enjoyable numbers
was the recitalious of Miss Gertrude
Lyon, who is an clocuiionist of no
small ability. She delighted her hear-
ers and was obliged to respond to sev-
eral oncores
also a success financially and a good
sum was realized by the ladies.
He ls a Fraud.
A young man, said to hail from Win-
nipauh, is going about town working an
old game and one that is li.blo to land
him in jail. He is well acquainted in
town. He goes to a house where he
knows the men folks are not at home,
with a pitiful and lying story that either
some member or friend of the family
has been arrested and lacks money
enough within from two or three dollars
Of securing his release, and requests
the loan of that amount. It is under-
stood that he has succeeded in getting
money in a few instances. If this be
true he ought to be arrested before his
scheme is the means Of mulcting any
one else.
9». . A
Birthday Party.
The birthday 'party given at the
Methodist church last evening, met the
happiest anticipations of the Epworth
League under whose auspices it was
given. The admissions were graded
according to the age of the person ad-
mitted, one cent a year being charged.
The three-year old going in for three
cents and so on. A number confessed
to being OVer sixty and paid according-
ly. Each admission entitled the .per-
son admitted to a feast of ice cream and
cake. It was a very taking novelty in
the way of church entertainmer t.

met with an accident at Cousins’ shoe
manufactory that may result fatally.
He was struck in the head by the ele—
vator, one car was torn off, the back of
his head crushed and his jaw broken.
It is believed, nevertheless, that there
is a fighting chance Of his recovery.

The New Summer 00ttage of w;
0. Bennett Entirely Destroyed.
Supposed to Have Been the Work
of an lncendlary.
The new summer cottage at the cor-
ner of North and, Summit avenues,
Bell Island, just comleted by Foster
Brothers for W. C. Behnett, of Phila-
delphia, was destroyed by fire last
night. '
Shortly before 12 o’clock William
Stevens who lives directly opposite the
new cottage discovered flames on the
north side of the first story. He gave
the alarm and the residents of the
Island turned Out 111 force but were un-
able to be of any service and the entire
structure was consumed. The wind
fanned the flames and half burnt
shingles were blown onto the bridge
leading from Hickory Bluff to the 15‘
land, but fortunately the bridge did
not catch fire. Had the wind been in
the opposite direction nearly all of the
houses on the Island would have been
endangered, ‘
The cottage was erected by Foster
Bros, of Danbury, for Mr. W. C. Ben-
nett, of Philadelphia, and the latter
was to have moved his family into it on
Saturday.
Mr. Foster told a GAZETTE represen-
tative this morning that he had his men
remove every piece of wood and shav-
ing from the building yesterday and
that there was no fire of any description
about the place, he, therefore, is of the
opinion that the fire was of incendiary
origin.
The loss is placed at $1,500 on which
the Fosters had an insurance of 1.200.
The residents of the Island say that a
sleep sailed into the Cove last night
and that there was a fight between the
men on board. A short time before
the fire, was discovered a small boat
came ashore with two men in it. They
were heard to land after which nothing
more was heard from them. At day-
light this morning the sloop had disap—
peared leaving no trace behind. It is
suspected by the Bell Islanders that the
parties aboard this strange craft know
something about the origin of the fire.
