The Town Meeting.
As we go to press, the indications are
that the town meeting called to convene
at three o’clock this afternoon, will re-
sult in a reaffirming of the town’s for-
mer vote to honestly pay the Consoli-
dated Railroad company’s bill for an
equal one-half of the Cost of the Osborn
avenue tunnel, according to the con-
tract made by our board of Selectmen.
Of course full opportunity will be given
Mr. Maples to exploithis antipathies to
and unbottle the vials ‘of his wrath that
for so many years he has nursed and
kept boiling hot, vs. the Consolidated
Railroad.
A Magnificent Shlp.
A brief notice was made in Saturday’s
GAZETTE of. the good fortune of a son 01
Principal tham, of the Over RiVer
school, in receiving the appointment or
assistant electrician on board of the
newly built and magnificent steamer
St. Paul, recently launched by tht
Cramps, at their- Philadelphia ship
yard.
The St. Paul is patterned after and is
designed to be, a twin of the splendio
ship St. Louis. These two great ocean
leviathans are conceded to be the most
complete, perfect, powerful-and magnifi-
cent sea-going palaces the genius 01
man has ever constructed, and best 0.-
all, they are both American built anc
fly the American flag. They are lighter.
throughout, entirely by electricity, ano
young Mr. Wigham is to be heartily
congi‘atulated on the rare good fortunt ,
which places him on board such a safe
and grand floating palace.
That Great Oyster Bed.
In another column of to-day’s GA-
ZETTE is given a most interesting his-
tory of the great oyster. reef findor
many years ago,'across the Sound from
Norwalk to Eaton’s Neck light. But ~.
most interesting fact connected with
the probable origin of that enormou:
oyster bed, 18 not given. It is thus,
Captain Daniel K. Nash, of South Nor-
walk, informed the GAZETTE at the time T
of that sensational discovery, that be war
undoubtedly the original planter of that
oyster reef. His story was to the slice
that nearly twenty years previously ht:
had sailed his schooner into Huntington
bay for a load of cord wood for the then
prosperous Norwalk potteries. He was
disappointed in getting his cargo or
wood, but was ofiered three hundred
bushels of half-grown oysters at a very
low, price, and bought them. The)
were hurriedly loaded on the deck or
his vessel and he set sail across thr
Sound for Norwalk. At the mouth of
Huntington harbor he encountered a
severe gale of wind and though he
reeled his sails, the seas constantly
washed his decks as he took his course
for Norwalk Island light. As he reached
the mouth of our harbor, not an oyster
was left on his vessel’s deck, he having
sowed a windrow with his three hilndrec
bushels of bivalves, across the Sound on
the exact line where the great reef was
discovered. Capt. Nash’s theory was
then accepted by our N orwalk oyster-
men as the correct solution of the ori-
gin of the extraordinary oyster reef.
An exhibitwas kept in this office for
several years of the two shells of a huge
oyster taken from that bed, which was
like the blade of a big iron gravel shov-
el and were in size twelve by nineteen
inches. ‘ l
Teaching and Marriage.
Miss Millicent W. Shinn, formerly
editress of the Overland Monthly, is to
have an article. in the October Century,
which among other startling things will
say that statistics show that “woman’s
position as school-teacher, is more inimi-
cal to marriage than any other station
in life.”
His First Sunday.
Rev. Father Dougherty the new
priest and successor of Rev. Father
Slocum conducted the services at St.
Mary’s church, yesterday. He read a
letter from the Bishop appointing him
to the charge of the parish. He said
that he hoped his relations with the
parish would be of 11 pleasant nature
He said that he viewed the appointment
in the light of a promotion, that he had
been in charge of the parish at Mystic
for fourteen y ears, but that not until he
was about to leave did he fully realize
how dear to him were the members of
that parish. He also warmly compli-
mented the new appointee Rev. Father
Winter of the Souih Norwalk parish,
and felt assured that his mission in
building up a fine parish in that com-
munity would be successful.
He stated that he disliked to ever
ask the people for funds to carry on
the work of the church and would not
do so unless in times of absolute neces-
sity. He also paid a warm tribute to
the former priests of the parish, and
complimented the people over whom
he had been called upon to minister.
He created a favorable impression
and no doubt will be well liked by all.

Obituary.
MISS SALLY A. BROWNE.
The Bridgeport Farmer prints the
following obituary notice of Miss Sally
A. Browne, formerly of this city, and a
sister of the late Bradley Browne who
lived at what is known as the five cor-
ners, on the New Canaan road:
Miss Sally A. Browne, aged 91, dred
last evening at the residence of her
brother, Barzillai Browne, in Bridge-
port. Early Thursday morning she
was taken with pneumonia from 'which
death was resultant. Miss Browne was
born in Wilton, and was the daughter
of Thomas and Hannah Browne. At an
early age she removed t.) Norwalk
where she resided until four years ago
when shecame to live with her brother
here. She was noted for her amiable
temperament, and was an admirable
Christian, having been a communicant
of St. Paul’s church, Norwalk, for over
70 years. In the missionary field she
was a zealous worker, being particular-
ly interested in an Indian school in the
westand for which she labored continu-
. ally.
On coming to Bridgeport she sns'ain-
ed a shock which left her a helpless i11-
valid, which burden she bore withgreat
patience. Even during her last days of
helpless old age, she was continually
plying her needle for the benefit of
others. Besides her brother, there sur-
vive a large number of nieces and neph-
ews. There are Mrs. C. W. Raymond,
of Brooklyn; F. E. Browne, of Los
Angeles, Cal. ; W. E. Browne, of Carry,
Penn. ; Mrs. P. S. Grey and Mrs. Jo-

long period of years. He would have
been 81 years old in December next.
WALTER T. GRAY.
Walter T. Gray, the well known bot-
tler, died at his home on the Straw-
berry hill road, yesterday, aged about

enemies, and was always spoken of as
an honest man.
MRS. EMMA EVANS.
Mrs. Emma Evans, wife of James
0. Evans, died at her home on North
Main street, last night, aged about 60~
years.

THE TOWN ACCOUNTS.
The Refusal of the Auditors to Pass
Them Creates a Sensa-
tion.
A Statement From the Auditors.
The refusal of the Auditors to pass
the town accounts, as published exclu-
sively in Saturday’s GAZETTE created
quité a sensation, and long before the
ink was dry every copy of the paper
had been sold.
As Selectman Daskam had been the
clerk of the beard and had made out
the Addison bills and receipted them,
he Was earnestly sought after, but it
was not until yesterday that he was
found by a reporter. Col. Daskam
then stated that he had advanced the
was still in his debt. He further said
that as he had paid Addison from his
own pocket be naturally felt as though
the money due for janitor work was his
and he had drawn the same from the
town treasurer.
Janitor Addison was seen this morn
ing and Selectman Daskam’s statement
repeated to him. He denied most em-
phatically that he had received money
from Mr. Daskam, and further said that
he had no knowledge'whatever of a
bill having been made out for his ser-
vices each month and the sums re-
ceipted in his name by Mr. Daskam
and an order for the amount drawn
from the towu treasury. Addison also
said that if Mr. Daskam’s story was
true he would like to have both Mr.
Daskam and himself summoned be-
fore the Auditors. ’
The auditors met with Selectman
Raymond Saturday night and further
resumed their labors. They will hold
another meeting to-morrow night but it
is not probable that they will pass the
accounts.
In view of the Gaznrrn's publication
of their refusal to pass the accounts, the
Auditors this morning gav: out the fol-
lowing statement for publication. '-
As the Auditors have not yet complet-
edlheir work, any definite statement
would be out Of the question. Such in-
formation as has been made public did
not come from them but is in the main
correct.
In former years there have always
been a few small bills presented fOr ac
ceptance which were receipted for the
parties to whom payable, by the clerk
of the board of Selectmen, the
reason given being that said parties
could not write. As many of the
transactions of the selectmen are
with an uneducatefclass of people the
excuse seemed reasonable and the bills
Were passed. The orders drawn on the
treasurer for such bills were invariably
found correct. The number of bills re
ceipted in this manner having this year
increased to an alarming extent, the
auditors thought it time to call a hall.
The fact that nearly all checks given
out by the selectmen are drawn to
"bearer” instead of to “order,” makes
it almost impossible for the auditors to
determine whether bills receipted in
the manner described have been pro-
perly paid or not. Therefor they will
give the selectmen an opportunity to
get from the parties a satisfactory re-
ceipt which they w1ll probably be able
to do.
The Aud1tors do not consider them-
selves an “investigating committee,”
as far as determining whether certain
bills should have been paid or not, as
some suppose, but accept the bills pre-
sented as vouchers for money expended
properly receipted.
It is the province Of the selectmen,
and of them alone, to determine the
correctness of all bills before paying
the same.
Outside of the Addison matter, the
Auditors have found nothing that seems
materially wrong and even this may
‘possibly be satisfactorily explained.
The Auditors having given the Se-
lectmen time in which to procure the
proper vouchers it is sincerely hoped
that they will take advantage of it and
present them as soon as possible, so
that the difficulties may be quickly and
satisfactorily adjusted and the aroused
public interest in the matter satisfied.

The Rich Finn—dill Years Ago_
The Great Eaton’s Neck Bed.
The large fleet of oyster boats at
work on the beds Off this port, says the
Farmer, recalls in some measure, the
scene ofi' Eaton’s Neck, -L. I., , about 37
years ago, soon after the large bed of
oysters there was discoverdby Capt.
William Wood, of Darien. Capt. Wood
had for many years been engaged in the
oyster business and ran the sloop
“Flirt.” He made frequent trips to
this port- and sold oysters to the late
Frank H. Stevens, who conducted the
old restaurant on Wall street, and. also
to Seymour Whiting, who at that time,
was proprietor of. a fish market on Wa-
ter street, near the foot of State street.
The late W. B. Plait, who was proprie-
tor of a market on State street, near
Main street, was also one of his cus-
tomers. . :
Capt. Wood’s brother Thomas, also
from Darien, made frequent trips here
with oysters, sailing the sloop “Tor-
mentor,” owned by Darien parties.
His customers were the same asthose
of his brother. Early in the ’50’s he
lost heav1ly from ravages by starfish
and soon after quit the business and
became foreman of the farm owned by
Benjamin Fitch, founder of the Soldiers’
Home at Noroton, and remarned as
such w1th buts. short interim, up to the
time of Mr. Fitch’s death. He is now
living in East Norwalk and last March
celebrated his 761k birthday. One of
his sons, of whom there are seven liv-
ing, is now among the number of oys-
termen working on the Bridgeport bed.
One son was drownedin 1865, in Darien,
while employed in the oyster business
with his uncle. A brother of Mr. Wood
was also drowned in New York many
years ago by falling from a sailing ves-
sel on which he was employ ed.
The great natural bed off Eaton’s
.Neck Was discovered one Sunday.
Capt. William Wood had been engaged
to‘take a party of Darien people on a
blackfishing trip to Eaton’s Neck reef,
and just before reach1ng there they
were becalmed. As the tide runs swift-
ly there and the water is deep and bot-
tom rocky, a dredge was used to an-
chor while waiting for a breeze. When
this came;_thc dredge was pulled up and
then came a‘surprlse. The dredge was
completely filled with oysters of large
size. More dredges were thrown over
and a “drift” was made with astonish-
ing results, every fdredge being filled
with large oysters" Capt. Wood im-
mediately “took ranges” and noted
them and. knowing that a large sum
would be paid for the information he
could give, exacted a pledge of secrecy
from the party, on condition that the
reward would be divided equally among
them.
But the party could not keep the se-
cret and one told his wife. She, in
turn, told some one else and it finally
began to be talked about that “Capt.
Bill Wood ,had found an oyster bed.”
Every move he made was watched and
he finally decided that he had waited
long enough, so one dark night, when
everything was favorable, with his son
to aid, the “Flirt” sailed for City Is.
land. The trip was a speedy one, as
every inch of canvas she could carry
was set. On arrival Capt. Wood imme-
diately sought out Capt. Joshua Levin-
ess and other large oyster dealers and
informed them of his discovery. They
were incredulous at first, but after be-
ing piloted to the bed and convinced,
they gave Captain Wood several hun-
dred dollars which he kept, reasoning
,that he was right in so doing, as those
with whom he had promised to divide a
reward had broken faith with him.
In a few days after the discovery
was announced, vessels of all kinds
were at work on the bed which was‘
several miles off“ shore. This was be-
fore the am of steam dredges, but
large steamboats were put into service
and these, with hundreds Of other craft
made a scene not witnessed before or
since. It was estimated that over
1,000,000 bushels of oysters were taken
from the .bed in .less than a month'
The oysters were large, but were poor
and had to be placed in other waters
for a time before being marketed. Old
bottles, pieces of iron and everything
else that an oyster 'could adhere
to were dredged up, full of the bivalves
and in one instance a silver coin with a
large oyster adhering to it was found.
The supposition, at the time, was that
this coin was one from the steamer
Lexington, burned in 1840, but how it
got to that spot was never explained.
New York papers devoted much space
to the discovery of the bed and subs:- ,
quent' doings, there. The illustrated
papers also took interest in it and
printed many cuts of scenes occurring
there. For a long time after,‘ the
“Flirt” was an object of attentioii‘r and
was constantly saluted by steam and
sailing vessels when she put 'in an ap‘
pearance. Even the captains of Sound
steamers came to know her and saluted
her when meetingor passmg her.
For many years the Eaton’s Neck bed
continuedto ‘ yield large catches, but
finally it was “worked out,” and other
beds sbught for. Some have been found
‘ since, but none have ever approached
its yield. Capt. Wood has accumulated
a comfortable competence in the oyster
business and still follower? it though
nearly 80 years of age. He resides on
the “Long Neck” road in Darienl His
interests are looked after by his son,
who is at present working on the Bridge-
port bed.
The old sloop “Flirt” was laid ashore
in Darien about 16 years ago, and broken .
up aft-er a service of about 40 years,
during which period she had been re-
built several times. In her time she
was counted among the best boats of
her class, being both seaworthy and
speedy. No abler boat than the “for-
mentor, size considered, was on the
Sound‘in her day. '
Other old natural oyester beds in the
Sound were those 011' Rocky Neck,
Greenwich, Shippan Point, Stamford,
and Norwalk Islands. Off the latter
bed the oysters were among the best in
the oyster season, and were ready for
market as soon as caught. Many years
fine oysters were also taken from the
beds inside of Norwalk Islands, then
natural growth beds, but this spot as
well as the old natural bed ground out-
side of Smith’s Island is now staked or
buoyed Off for the use of planters. -

A Much Loved Pastor.
The Hartford Courant has these en-
tirely true and kindly words to say an-
ent the much lOved Pastor of the Pro..-
byterian church of Washington, in con-‘
nection with the current rumor that
Rev. Dr. Talmadge is to beeowe his co-
pastor :
“It is worth being a clergyman to be
loved as Dr. Sunderland of Washing-
ton, D. C., appears to be. His congre-
gation want Dr. Talmadge as co-pastor,
but they won’t give him up, though he
is on in years. His people “will not
hear of his severing his connection with
the church” (the First Presbyterian)
said a prominent member. “If he
should fall lll now and be too weak to
come t) the church of his own efforts,
he would be carried there in a chair by
his people, who love him beyond all
measure.”

banks in Jersey City, Hoboken and
other places in the vicinity of New

were those known as counter checks,
which the public have access to in all

who cashed them to have been certified
by cashiers or tellers of the several
Bridgeport banks.
