Special Town Meeting.
The Selectmen have called a special
town meeting for Saturday afternoon
at 4. o’clock, and in the call appears the
following: “I‘o repair the Town House
and put new seats in'the same, and to
apprOpI-iate such sum of money as may
be necessary therefor.”
It would seem as though the tax-pay—
ers had paid out enough for the repair
of this, disgrace called a town house,
and that it would be far better to hold
an adjourned special meeting and ap-
propriate sufficient money to tear it
down and erect a handsome town hall
in its place. .
For years this old building has been
the laughing stock of strangers and
the mortification .of our townspeople,
”.Ed the present is a- good time to erect
a more modern building for the use of
the town. ‘
Instead of repairing let the people
vote to tear it down and erect an edifice
that all may be proud of.

Ireland and Home Rule.
Has the late project of Irish Home
Rule received its death blow? Has the
splendid dream which Mr. Gladstone
has recently cherished been fatally
shattered? It begins to look like it.
The Tories, the implacable enemies of
Irish autonomy, continue to sweep
everything before them in the British
elections. The returns up to the pres—
eut time show that there have been
nearly 100 majority in the new House of
Commons over the entire combined cp-
positiou, Mr. Chamberlain’s following
includedand the remaining elections
will'not probably make any material
change in this result.
This prospect renders the outlook for
Ireland exceedingly dark. Even if the
Irish members were united, as they
were under the superb leadership of
Parnell, they would be powerless for
obstructive tactics. What will the Out-
come be? Will the tremendous tri~
11mph of Toryism be the signal for
fresh outbreaks of crime and violence
in the Emerald Island? Let us hope
not. Suchapolicy would only result
in tightening the manacles of Erin.
LetlIreland have her patience. Her day
will yet come.

The Gallant Defender,
After her Splendid performance ofi‘
Sandy Hook yesterday there will be
few who will question the superiority
of Defender over Vigilant as a “racing
machine.” ' ’he Vigilant, which has
been greatly improved since she con-
quered Valkyrie II. in 1893, was well
handled and behaved magnificently,
but in spite or this the new Cup defend-
er easily out distanced her. On Satur-
day the Defender defeated Vigilant by
2 minutes and 4.3 seconds, elapsed time.
Yesterday she bettered this record by
over 0 minutes.
Now let Lord Dunraven bring over
his new “water witch,” Valkyrie III.
It is possible that Defender may not
succeed in capturing the great interna-
tional trophy, America’s Cup, but if
she does not she will at least compel
her British rival to do some miraculous
marine sprinting. Moreover, it should
be remembered, Defender is young yet,
and before the great meet 01f Sandy
Hook occurs she is going to develop
new powers of speed. What is more,
she will crrry an invincible mascot, the
Stars and Stripes.

DR. BOHANNAN’S TESTIMONIAL.
Recommending the Encyclopedla
Britannica Offered by the
SehflneL
EditorEvem'ng Sentinel: It is with
much pleasure thatI add a word in
commendation of your efforts to place
the Encyclopedia Britannica in the
hands of the general public. A work,
ranging as it does over the entire field
of human knowledge, the product of
scholars of the age, well fitted to serve
as a source of information for men of
all classes and conditions, must surely
prove beneficial to a community whose
people may make it a study. To those
engaged in the so-called learned pro-
fessions, its value is beyond question.
The bibliography alone which it gives
in connection with every branch in
which man has kept a record of his in-
vestigation, apart from the original
matter contained in its pages, entitles
the work to be ranked among the most
useful. To the man of affairs, the
banker, the merchant, the farmer, the
machcnic, in fact, to men in every de-
partment of life, its pages have much to
offer. A glance at the index, in con-
nection with the list of contributors, is
convincive of the scope, thoroughness
and value of the work. We heartily
commend the undertakingwhich seeks
to place the Britannica in the houses
of our people.

Youthful Lawbreakers. _
It was a peculiar case that Judge
Hubbell was called upon this morning
to pass judicial judgmentupou. Four
boys were under arrest. ’l‘hey were
John and LeRoy Mulvehill, Ernest
Britto and John Grover, and respec-
tively, 7, 9, 10 and 11 years. An uncle
of the Grover boy placed a quantity of
clams in his hands upon the sale of
which the boy realized about $1.25.
He also had something less than 25
cents to be used in making change.
He disposed of the clams and felt rich.
Then not being of a selfish disposition,
he invited the lads mentioned to go
with him and have a good time. They
went to Darien, from thence to New
Canaan, then to Winnipauk and while
en route to Norwalk fell into the arms
of the police. Three of the boys put
up at the Howard Hotel over night.
This morning Justice Hubbell temper-
ed justice wilh mercy and turned the
quartette over to the charge of their
parents and friends.

JOHNSON’S CYCLOPEDlA.
What Another .Norwalk Teacher
"Says of it.
A somewhat careful examination of
many of the articles in Johnson’s Cy-
clopedia convinces me that it is a work
of rare merit. It is especially valuable
because of the wide range of its topics,
and the concise manner in which they
are written; its brevity is never marked
by omissions. A sample article is that
on Egyptology by the curator of the
Bulak museum, which shows the best
results of modern scholarship. That
the entire work has been thoroughly
prepared is fully attested by, the names
of our foremost scholars, scientists and
Specialists that are appended to the
various articles. I can heartily recom-
mend it for school and family use.

Orders to Selectmen.
The Connecticut Highway commis-
sion has sent out a communication to
the selectmen of the various towns in-
structing them as to the requirements
for making application for a share of
the state highway appropriation. The
‘communication directs the selectmen to
preceed as follows :
1. Read the act carefully.
2. Callatown meeting and get the
right to appropriate money, and send a
copy of the resolution to the Commis-
sion which must give a full description
of the road to be improved, its location,
kind, the distance in feet or miles,
naming the starting point and the ter-
minus. A survey of the road and speci-
fications must accompany the applica-
tion for the appropriation.
3. The commission will not act on ‘or
decide any case until after August 15th,
but will meet everyday until that time
to answer all inquiries and give any in-
formation desired. No town can re-
ceive any money from either the state
or county until after December 15th.
Towns should bear this in mind and’
provide for the whole amount of the
contract with the party building the
road.
The commission strongly recom-
mends the use of steam rollers, and
says : 0
“This fact is reocgnized by every
state where macadamized roads have
been made or are now in the process of
Construction, and as we do not wish: at
the start of this great and important
measure, one that IS of SO vital an in-
terest to the citizens of our state, to
make a' wrong beginning, we hope to
make some arrangement whereby we
can secure steam rollers to do the work.
If we are not successful we will be
compelled to adopt some other means
of carrying on the work.”
It is also suggested that all sharp
curves be eliminated, and the high-
ways straightened where practicable.
“This can be easily done by mutual
consent of landowners, and should not
cost anything, as the advantage is so
clearly in favor of all that a question of
a few feet of land will hardly be a ser-
ious objection.”
Accompanying the communication is
a copy of the law and a. blank form of
application for the appropriation.

A Contest Probable Over the Will of
Eliza Clark Hubbell.
BRIDE 9‘0,- HUSBAND BUT 32.
Despite the Disparity In Their Ages, How-
ever, It ‘Vas a Real Love Match—The
Estate In Estimated by Some
to beyorth 82,000,000.
DANBURY, Co'nn., July 23.—-The rela-
tIVes of Mrs. Eliza Clark Hubbell, who
made a stir three years ago by marrying a
man nearly 00 years younger than herself,
talk of contesting her will. It has not
been filed, and they do not know what it
contains, but they are morally sure that
it contains no mention of them. If this
proves to be the case. they think that they
have grounds on which they can question
its validity. _
Miss Eliza. A. Clark was 90 years old at
the time of her marriage to Dr. Marvin
Hubbell, three years ago. The bridegroom
The fact that they had been
made one was not known generally until
after they had returned froma brief hon-
eymoon.
The bride inherited the fortunes of her
brothers—F. H. Clark, a. jeweler of Mom-
phis, who died in 1866, and W. Starr
Clark, 'who died in 1881. She lived with
W. Starr Clark in the big four story house,
108 East Thirty-sixth street, New York,
which the family owned. When Starr
Clark died, She Wanted some one to look
after her property and she invited her first
cousin, Frederick Starr, then 50 years
old, to make his headquarters at her home.
Though he-lived in Danbury, he moved to
the Thirty-sixth street house, and for ten
years was her secretary and confidential
adviser. It is he who may question the
will.
Early in 1881 Dr. Hubbell came upon
the scene. His mother, who was an old
friend of Miss Clark, kept a boarding
house near by and was a frequent visitor
at the house. The doctor was athletic,
good looking and entertaining. In 1891
Miss Clark dispensed with the services of
Mr. Starr and installed Dr. Hubbell in his
stead. ‘
Starr \Vas Dissatisfied.
In her will, which was drawn by Henry
W. Clark, her lawyer, long since dead, she
made provision for Mr. Starr, though she
had compensated him during her lifetime.
He says, however, that the amount he re-
ceived was very small. When the story
got out that she had married Dr. Hubbell,
there was some comment about it, some
gossips even going so far as to intimate
that it was not a love match, but that her
husband had taken her for her money.
The old lady was so indignant at this
that she threatened to disinhcrit any of
her relatives caught making any such in-
timations.
Her life with Dr. Hubbell, it was, un—
derstood, was very happy. Being a wom-
an of mature years and judgment, she
knew how to get along With her young
husband. There were no jealousies and
no quarrels. -
Mrs. Hubbell went every year with her
husband to Richficld. Springs and other
summer resorts, and the disparity in their
years created little comment, most of their
fellow guests assuming that they were
grandmother and grandson.
Mrs. Hubbell died last week, and on
Thursday she was buried in the Wooster
cemetery at Danbury. The widower and
his mother and the Danbury relatives were
at the funeral. Some ill natured things
were said because Dr. Hubbell wore a.
straw hat. He and Mr. Starr, Whose place‘
as trustee he took, met at the grave. .
The interment was in the Clark family
vault, which cost $33, 000. It was built to
hold 20 bodies, and that of Mrs. Hubbell
completed the score. The family settled in
Connecticut in 1634 and is one of the old-
est in the state. Many years ago Mrs.
Hubbell and her brother had the bodies of
several ancestors removed from the old
burying ground, where they were lodged
in a. whitewashed brick vault, and put in
the present magnificent structure, which
they planned and built.
Mr. Starr, the cousin who, it is said,
will contest the Will, said: “We have not
seen the document yet, and cannot ‘an—
nounce our position until we do. The old
lady and myself did not quarrel, but her
husband prevented me from seeing her.
When I called at the house, I was refused
admission.
Mrs. Hubbell’s Characteristics.
“Mrs. Hubbell was decidedly eccentric,
as I think her marriage at the age of 90
indicates. She Was not at all the typical
01d maid, inasmuch as she hated cats, dogs
and parrots. When she was 85, she fre-
quently told me she meant to get married,
but I did not take it seriously. I felt sure
that if she Wished to get married she could
not find any one to take her. However,
Dr. Hubbell came along and fell violently
in love with her. ,
“I have read in some papers that her es-
tate is worth $2, 000, 000, butI am pretty
certain—though she was very economical,
and never spent a cent that she could save
-—that it will not amount to anything like
that sum.
“Dr. Hubbell and Miss Clark were mar-
ried by the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Park-
hurst. She once told me that she had a
talk with the clergyman as to making him
the trustee of her property, but she never
did it. She was a member of the Madison,
Square Presbyterian church for many
years before Dr. Parkhurst was connected
with it. The doctor was criticised for per-
forming the ceremony, but I never knew
that there was any law against it.
“At present I am lying very low wait-
ing for the filling of the will. I am anxious
to see Whether it ‘ is the old will, as I un-
derstand that When a woman marries in
New York state an antenuptial will be-
comes invalid. I shall not say anything
further till I see it. ”
