Not Sufficient.

The decision of Judge Hubbcll,‘ this
morning, in the Marron case, was not a
sufficient penalty for the case.

For a long time complaints have
been made of this man and his goings
on have been published in the local
press, and he is thorougly known as a
man who ought to be confined in the
County jail. The imposing of a $10
fine was too light a penalty and ought
to have been followed with a jail sen-

 

tence.
If the town court would remain in

popular favor such casesas the Marron
case should receive a heavy penalty at
the hands of the judge.

The Daily News in further comment-
ing on the HoSpital compelling news-
paper reporters to discontinue the use
of the. telephone for hpspital news re-

 

marks:

“The managers certainly are at fault
for allowing the telephone to be in the
operating room. It is no place for it.
Better discontinue its use altogether
than have a mangled man stretched up-
on the operating table hear his obitu-
ary notice given to the newspapers.
There must be, we are sure, some suit-
able place for the telephone at the Hos—
pital, where it can be used when it is
needed. The people want to know how
their affairs are Conducted and usually
find out in the long run.

Why not do the right thing and move
the telephone to another room and save
the newspaper men the trouble of tak-
ing a long journey to the Hospital
whenever an accident occurs. The new
rule will not work.”

A Peftlnent Inquiry.
EDITOR GAZETTE:

In your account of the murderous
assault committed upon John Barthel
on Wednesday night last, you state that
Constable Hunt drove the badly in.
jured Barthel to the Norwalk Hospital
but that he was refused admittance and
the ofiicer was obliged to take him ‘to
the home of Jailer Howard on Smith
street where, I understand, he has Since
remained in a dying condition. Will
you kindly inform me why Barthel was
refused admittance at the hospital, as I
thought that the object of the institu—
tion was to receive and care for injured
people. HOSPITAL SUBSCRIBER.

We are unable to answer the inquiry
of our correspondent, and respectfully
refer the. matter to the executive com-
mittee, composed of Rev. S. H. Wat—
kins, Dr. J. G. Gregory and Thomas I.

According to the new law now in ef-
fect every pawnbroker must keep in a
book furnished by the chief of police a
record in English of all his dealings,
which shall be open to inspection of scl-
ectmen or police at all times. The
record must contain a description of the
article pawncd, the name, general de-
scription and residence of the person

_ Sunday Liquor Raids.

Under the new law the New Britain
Police made three raids yesterday.
The keepers of the places Fred Belouis,
William O’Brien and Daniel O'Leary
and the frequenters of the place were
arrested.

The New Haven police drove to Gil-
lern A: Quinn’s saloon at Lighthouse
Point and raided the place, which was
running in full blast. The proprietors
and several men were arrested.

Booth Locked Up.

The notorious George W. Booth was
arrested on Friday by _ United States
Marshal Richard C. Morris, on the
charge of selling liquor without first
having taken out a Government 1i-
ceuse. He was taken to New Haven
and brought before United States Com-
missioner Wright and placed under
$500 bonds. Being unable to secure
a bondsman he was taken to jail and
locked up. He will be given a prelim-
inary hearing next week.

If Marshal Morris will arrest several
more residents of Chapel street and
break up the illegal’sale of liquor, he
will be doing the town and residents of
that street a great favor.

Stoned the Pittsfield.

For a week past every night when the
Pittsfield express went out Of the upper
end. of the tunnel large stones were
'hurled at thel-rain and in two or three
instances the stones chrashed. through
the glass door of one of the cars. A
watch was placed to detect the guilty
parties, but without result, the stones
being hurled at the train even while
employees of the company were on the
watch. Saturday evening, however, it
Was discovered that the guilty ones
were youthful members of the Weyer-
hauser and English families who live
near by. The youngsters are not more
than 6 years of age. They were severe-
ly reprimanded by Station agent Gould
and allowed to go, on the promise of
their parents that the acts would not
be repeated.

 

Glies’ Mistake.

People walking on Main street about
5 o’clock yesterday afternoon, were
more than surprised to see the doors of
Ratchford’s saloon, thrown wide open
and Giles Gregory hack of the bar
ready for business. A certain party
went into the saloon and asked Giles
what it meant. “llIcan,” said Giles,
“why, you dog-gasted fool you, I mean
business.” Giles, after a while, was
convinced that he Was acting contrary
to the law, in such cases made and pro—
vided, and closed up the doors and
went back home. It seems that Giles
went to sleep afler eating his dinner
and awoke about 4.30 o’clock, and pro-
ceeded to the saloon,
pression that it was Monday morning.
He is the butt of many jokers tO-day,
but takes all good-naturedly. '

 

Hit His Wife With a Class.
Complaint was made to Chief Brad-
ley, Saturday night, that a colored man
named Fred Anderson, was drunk and

. misusing his wife at their home on Park

street. The chief repaired to the house
but Anderson refused to let him in.
He then secured a warrant and return-
ing to the house was again refused
admittance. The chief was accom-
panied by Officer Kenney. Finding
there was no chance to get inside in
any other way, the chief put his shoul~
der to the door and burst it open.
Anderson wanted to hear the warrant
read and while it was being read to him
made a break for the back door, but he
was grabbed by the chief and floored,
after which he was handcuffed and with
considerable trouble landed in the
station house. Fred when not intoxi-
cated is said to be a law-abiding citizen
but when drunk acts like a crazy man.
This morning,~s,:ahe , was taken before
Judge Hubbell on the charges of in-
toxication, breach of the peace and re-
sistance to the officer. The Judge im-
posed a fine of $8.

Mrs. Anderson althohgh she received
a severe cut on the head from a glass
in the hands of her husband did. not
care to testify against him.

FOR GOOD" ROADS.
Thé Turnpike to be Imrimved and
the Wasmngton Street Bridge

‘ Wldened.
The Sum of $52,500 Appropriated.

SPECIAL MEETING.

A special town meeting, attended by
by‘about sixty voters, was held at the
Town House Saturday afternoon. The
meeting was called ‘ for the following
purposes, to wit :

To authorize the Selectmen to cause to be
constructed, under the provisions of Chapter
CCCXV. of the laws of this State (passed at
the last session of the General _ Assembly) en-
titled, “An Act to Provide for the more Per-
manent Improvement of the Public Roads of
this State," a maeadamized road. or a telford,
or other stone road, on the highway known as
the Connecticut Turnpike. from the line 6-
twsen this town and the town Of Darien. Gast-
erly for a distance of about one mile. or on
such other public highway in Norwalk as said
meeting shall designate; and to make the
necessary appropriation therefor.

Bradley S. Keith was elected moder-
ator. The call was read twice by the
clerk, and after a silence of fully three
minutes that was beginning to get op-
pressive, Robert Pierson asked a ques-
tion as to whether it was preposed to
construct a new highway or improve the
present highway.

The ice was broken. .

Selectman Raymond explained that
it was proposed to improve the high-
way in question.

George S. Bell then made a motion
that the Selectmen be instructed to im-
prove the highway from a point near
the Five Mile River bridge easterly to
the extent of the appropriation al-
lowed by the state.

ll. H. Golden offered an amendment
that the improvements be commenced
at the city line and be continued west-
erly on the Connecticut turnpike so far
as the appropriation would permit, and
explained that he believed the city line
commenced about 140 feet west of Tay-
lor avenue. This motion’ prevailed.

Selectman Raymond stated that be“
fore work could be commenced and to
insure the state appropriation, it would

street and send a report to the'commis-
sioners for their approval, on receipt of
which the Selectmen were at'li-berty to
go ahead with the work. He also said
that the town must make provision for
the necessary expenditures, and the
bills had to be sent to the commission-
ers for the purpose of being audited,
and that thefunds from the state and
county would not be available until
after January ist. He said that the law
provided that the town could not ex-
pend over $3,000 in any one year, and
that the amount available from the
state this year would probably not be
in excess of $51,000. He added that the
application for the state road bounty
must be made before Aug. 15th.

Mr. E. O. Keeler made a motion that
the sum Of $3,000 or as much thereof as
might be neccessary be appropriated,
to carry out the plans embodied in Mr.
Golden’s motion, and it was so voted.

A motion to adjourn then prevailed.

ADJOURNED MEETING.

Immediately after the adjournment
of the special meeting, the Town clerk
announced the thrice adjourned town
meeting to take action in the matter of
widening the Washington street bridge,
west of the draw.

Mr. R. H. Golden acted as mod era-
tor.

A resolution was presented in eflect
that a sum not in excess of $2,500 be ap-
propriated for the‘purpose of widening
the west end of the Washington street
bridge, commencing at the draw, ata
uniform width of fifty feet.

The resolution provoked considerable
discussion, which brought out the fact
that the present width of the bridge at
the point in question was but 30 feet,
and that the town owned but ’16 feet
abutting the bridge and that was loca-
ted on the west side of the bridge.

B. S. Keith asked as to the expense
incurred in widening the east end of the
bridge, and was informed that it
amounted to about $1,000.

D. R. Marvin said that he under-
stood that the cost of improvement in-
cluded the expense of filling in a por-
tion of the distance, and this being the
fact he was in favor of such improve-
meat.

It WaS'finally unanimously voted that
the town make such improvement and
the money necessary was appropriated.

The meeting then adjourned.

Lewis Sch'wjelzeii Arrested on the
Charge of Assault With At-
tempt to Kill.

John Barthel the Victim.-

As will be remembered Constable
Hunt on Wednesday night last, arrest-
ed Lewis Schweizer on the charge of
an assault on John Barthel, and placed
him in the station. The next day
Schweizer was released on a small bond.
His alleged victim John Barthel was
taken to the home of Timothy Howard.
He presented a pitiable sight his face
and clothing covered with blood, and
ugly bruises on his head. He asserted
that his wounds were caused by a club
in the hands of Lewis Schweizer.

Dr. Huntington was summoned and
he has since been in charge on the pa-
tient. On Saturday, the doctor on
calling found Barthel in a very bad
shape and he has his doubts about his
pulling through.

As soon as this became known anoth-
er warrant was sworn out against
Schweitzer and he was again placed in
the station-house. This time the charge
was the more serious one of assault with
lntent to kill. .

His bonds were placed at $1.250. He
of course denies all knowledge of the
assault and, it is understood, asserts
that Barthel received his injuries by
falling through a window, while intox-
icated.

Previous to the alleged. assault both
Schweitzer and Wife had preferred com-
plaints for damages against Barthel.

The charges against Schweitzer are
of a serious nature, .and should, Bar-
thel die, it may be that the more seri-
ous one of manslaughter will be
brought against him.

. Dr. Huntington considers Barthel’s
condition as being very critical.

Hugh Marron in the Tolls.

For a long time people living in the
neighborhood of Railroad Place have
been disturbed by unseemly noises at
all hours of the night on “Battle Row,”
so-called, which islocated on Railroad
Place near Chapel street. Au individ-
ual named Hugh Matron, it is alleged
was the noisest of all, and it is further
alleged that his language. was both vile
and profane. - ‘

Saturday noon he vented his spite on
Mrs. James McKiernan who lives near
by. Mr. McKiernau happened to be at
home and securing an officer he had
Matron arrested.

He was taken before Judge Hubbell
and his remarks in the court room en-
titled him to a term in jail for con-
tempt, but the Judge failed to notice
his offense.

After making an effort to proceed
with the case With Marron’s offensive
remarks, Prosecuting Attorney Gre-
gory requested that the case be con-
tinued until Monday morning to allow
the prisoner to sober up. The Judge
agreed and Matron was taken out to
secure bonds, and failing to obtain
them was locked up by Chief Bradley
until late in the evening, when Martin
J '. Sullivan furnished the required
bond.

This'morning he was again taken be-
fore Judge Hubbell, who, after listen-
ing to the testimony, fined him $10 and
costs, amounting to 315.25. '
