Town Officers.
In the interview with Selectman
Daskam, published in Monday’s Senti-
el, the following important paragraph
is introduced: —
“Concl uding Mr. Daskam said: ‘My

accounts aie all straight and I am not
afraid to have the auditors go into them

as far as they wish. Several improve- _

ments can be made in the system of
town accounts, but one man could not
then handle them. I have worked hard
and done my best for the town and my
consrituents and can retire this year
from my long service with a clean re-
cord. I am not a cand1date,for re-
nomination, and I gave my friends to
understand when I was elected last
year that this term would be my last.’ ”

It is well known that Col. Daskam
last year, distinctly and repeatedly an-
nounced his desire to be permitted to
retire from the vexatious and harassing
learns ' of the Selectman’s office, but
:‘when his party caucus convened he

was renominated in spite of his fI'B',

quently expressed desire not to run
again for that office. But Col. Das
kam has never before given such dis-
tinct and public notice of his determin-
ed purpose not to accept that responsi-
ble lfice again, as he now «does in the
above authorIZed announcement. And
indeed, he is fully justified in so doing
as he did, as he says, inform his party
friends last year, that he- could not and
would not accept the honor beyond his
present term. He also states a fact
known to every business man acquainte
ed with the past and present method of
issuing town orders and in keeping
town accounts that “improvements can
be made in the system” now in vogue.
It Was from a knowledge of this fact
and with the kindest of feelings for an
over—worked official that the Editor of
the GAZETTE last year introduced at a
town meeting and earnestly advocated
the passing of the following resolution:

"Voted: That Isaac Selleck, Gen
D1‘l.Couch, JacobM. Layton, Walter
M. Wilcox and. bradiey S. Keith, be
and they are thereby appointed a com
mittee to investigate the Highway and
Poor accounts of this town and report
. upon the same, and furnish such re-
commendations as in their Opinion, Wlll
improve the present methods of ex-
penditures and report the same to an
adjourned, special, or a meeting than
may be called for any other purpose.’

The mover honestly believe} then, as
he does now, that this resolution was
for the best interests of both the Select-
men and the tax payers of the town,
and Colonel Daskam’s candid statement
above, fully confirms, that Opinion. A
great hullabaloo and clamor, of feigned
intensity, in Opposition to our motion,
was raised by Mr. Maples in his paper,
all clearly inspired by a zeal born of
benefits received, and fostered by his
ardent hope and expectation of greater
favors to come. In these assaults, the
Editor of” this paper was accused of
having given vent in this proposition to
a. personal hatred of his life-long per-
sonal friend Col. Daskam and of being
guilty of all the sneaking cowardice and
venomous malignity that has blackened
and saddened the whole newspaporial
career of the Editor of the Hour.

001. Daskam is not the sort of man
that people hate. On the contrary, no
man is more uniformly courteous, gen-
ial and winning in his ways. Pity you
sometimes may, but hate, never. But
these are distinctions, which from the
. idiosy ciasics of the Hour editor’s brain,

he is unable to understand.

Had our motion as it prevailed been
carried out in the same good faith and
kindly spirit w: t'n which it was conceiv-
ed, the present complications in our
town accounts could not have occurred.
It is the bad “system” of keeping the
town’s accounts that is at fault and not,
1111'. Daskam, Mr. Raymond, Mr. Baker,
Mr. Thomas Or Mr. anybody else, and

"no time should be lost in adopting some
new system that will give them perfect
,clearness as well as accuracy. ‘

It is to this end,’ as We understand it:

that ihe auditorsof ourtown’e accounts

 

 

arenow faithfully and arduously work-

ing, and“ that they may; succeed in

clearing up all that now bewilders them

in these account, to the full exonera-

tion of our Selectmen, is,'we are sure,

the honest wish of every goodcitizen.
lt Tickled Maples.

The meeting did not amount to much.
~News.

0, yes, it did; not to to the public of
course, but to Mr. Maples, who ' was
thereby enabled to gratify his abnormal
thirst for notoriety and to' publish the
falsehood that the town:“‘voted not to
pay it,” (the Railroad bill.) No mortal

 

 

'man can conceive the extent to which

the Hour editor’s vanity was tickled by
even so lame and impotent a chance to
show the world that he runs the town
meetings of Norwalk, just as he cssayed
to run the Masonic order, until “hoist
by his own petsrd."

But let the mantle of charity be
thrown over the erring and unhappy
B’r. Maples. Since the crushing
tongue lashings he received from 001.
F. St. John Lockwood and Mr. Jere.”
Donovan, he really has not been moral-
ly accountable fer what he says or does.

v...
Look on Thls Picture.

RESOLVED. That the Selectmen be
and they aie hereby authorized and
directed, if they find upon inguin/ that
them 1176 any items the? ein with winch
they are dissatisfied, to forward to the
Railroad Commissioners, for audit and
approval, the billof the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad company
against the town of Norwalk, etc, etc.—
Tuesday’ 5 Hour.

 

And Now on This.

VOTED NOT TO PAY I'I‘.
rusmanus TOWN MEETING ASKS THAT THE
censor IDATED’s BILL BE AUDITED.

It Unanimously passes Mr. Maples’ Resolution
Directing the Selectmen to for ward it to
the Railroad Commissmners for Audit and
Approval.

—-T uesday’s Hour.

 

And on This.

Attorney Huributt said that any per-
son who would take such action on
such a large bill without investigation
was a fit subject for 11. lunatic asylum.
But at any rate the Selectmen had ex-
pressed their opinion to the effect that
they did not intend to pay the bill until
every item had been thowughly exam-
ined and this was said before the meet-
ing, so t‘ 1e meeting which simply
adopted a resolution to that effect, was
of no real value.

Mr Maples must have been quite ex-
cited in accomplishing the passing of
his resolution, as he called the hall,
which in reality was quite cool, a “sweat
box.”—Tuesday’s News.

New lce Pond.

A deed will probably be duly signed
and recorded to-day transferring to
Frank H. Merrill the Silver Mine
dealer, a plot of ground consisting of
about ten actor, and located on the old
road or lane north of the Charles Kel-
logg place on the New Canaan road.
The property is bounded by land be-
longing to the estate of Edward Taylor,
heirs of Francis Kellogg, and land of
Charles and Edward Kellogg

There is a brook running through the
prOperty and Mr. Merrill proposes
building a dam and using the brook for
the flooding of the property which he
will convert into an immense pond to
be used as an ice pond. He will also
build a large ice house anal make exten-

sive improvements about the property~

looking to advance facilities in fur-

nishing his customers with pure ice.
Several thousand dollars will be 011-,

pended in the venture which will no

doubt prove a success.

Just Half are Dead.

When the present county court house
at Bridgeport was erected, its building
commissioners were Judge Sidney B.
Beardsley, Emory F. Strong, David M.
Read, Nathaniel Wheeler, P. T. Bar—
num and Samuel B. Sumner. Of these
Ihe only- one now living is Mr. Strong.
The county commissioners at the time
were Nathan M. Belden, John O. Paige,
Charles B. Wheeler, George M. Olm-
stead and Joseph W. Johnson. These
are living except Mr. Belden, who died
recently. Mr. Wheeler now restdes in
Siepney. Mr. Olmstead is still living
at his home in New Canaan, and Mr.
Johnson who is now a resident of
Bridgeport, is a deputy sheriff.

Who Was He ?

Yesterday morning there was a large
pool of blood nearly in front of the
Jerome paper factory on Water street,
and the blood was traced for some dis-
tince on the sidewalk. A pane of glass
was found broken in one of the front
windows of the factory, and it is sur.
mised that some one under the influence
of liquor fell through, the window and
cut himself, as there is no police record
of a fight in that vicinity, Monday
night.

AlYOlHER BURGLARY

Orrin K. Scofleld' 3 House on Main
Street. Robbed.

 

Entrance Gained Through a Kitchen

WIndow.

The residence of Orrin K. Scofield,

on Main street, was entered by burglars"
last night or early this morning.

They gained an entrance into the build-
ing from a. kitchen window at the rear
of the house.

In order to reach the window the
burglars placed a board on two chairs.
They then inserted a chisel or like in-
strument under the window sash and
pried on the same until the window-
fastener or catch broke off. Previous
to this they removed a baking of bread
dough and some other articles from a
shelf on the window sill, after which
their entrance to the room could be
made Without fear of noise.

They then proceeded to the sleeping
apartments in the second story of the
house, first, it is believed visiting, the
room occupied by Mr. Scofleld where
they. abstracted in pocketbook from his
inside vest pocket, and containing
about $10 in money, after which they
politely hung the vest on a hat rack in
the hall.

They also secured a silver watch and
a small amountvof change which Mr.
Scofield had neglected as was his cus-
tom to place in the sale at-his store near
b.v._ '

The burglar or burglars then visited
the room of Mr. Scofield’s daughter
Ella, where they secured another pock-
etbook containing a small amount of
money. Luckily they missed finding a
pocketbook belonging to Miss Hattie

Scofield and which contained about $20.

the property of one of the M. E. church
societies of which she is treasurer.

The thieves failed to find or did not
care to take quite a quite a quantity of
valuable jewelry that was within easy
reach of their thieving hands.

On investigation this morning, a rug,
shawl and section of carpet stolen from
the house was found under a tree in a
near-by orchard, Spread out, as though
after completing their nefarious work
the thieves had laid down and taken a
snooze until daylight.

No clue whatever has been gained as
to Who the burglars are. Chief Bradley
was early at the scene, and possibly the
guilty parties may be apprehended,

The Wilson Shoe Mfg.‘Co...

Mr. S. B. Wilson proposes to utilize
the surplus power room of his large
planing mill, by commencing there,
the manufacture of children’s and cus-
tom made shoes. under the title of The
Wilson Shoe Manufacturing Company.
The concern is to be under the charge
of Mr. Herbert Benedict, son-in-law of
G. A. Franke, Esq. It is intended to
start-ofl‘ within a short time and in a
small way at first and to enlarge and ex—
tend the business as fast as orders in-
crease. The products of the new fact~
ory are to be what is known to the
trade as Childrens’ Turned Shoes. Mr.
Benedict being a practical shoe-maker
will also manufacture any class of fine
shoes to order. And may the new en-
terprise abundantly prosper.

He Saw the Game.

A base ball team from Torringion
played the Victors at Bridgeport, yes-
terday. A certain barber in this city
Whom we call Peter, was very anxious
to see the game as he has several
friends in the 'I‘orrington nine. Fear-
ing that his employer Would not permit
of his abseuse to see the game, Peter
showed him a telegram and said that it
was imperative that he be absent. Pcr~
mission was cheerfully granted him.
After he had gone, however, his em-
ployer learned that he had gone to see
the ball game and he wasa little bit
provoked at the scheme that Peter had
worked off upon him. A. telegram will
not again have much weight when pre-
sented by Peter to his present em-
ployer.

 

Fire In Long Ridge.

The fine residence owned by Harry
G. Morrcll of Long Ridge, occupied for
several years by the late David J ohn-
son, was entirely destroyed by fire
Monday. .1 A 'spark from the chimney
set fire to the roof and before they were
(liscovered'the flames had gained such
headway that it was impossible to sub-
due them. Nearly all the furniture, a
goo’dshare of the clothing and a sum of
money were consumed.

OYERCOME BY GAS

Plumbers‘JOhn Newman. and Ed-
- ward Jonnson'.Have a
Close Gall“

 

Rescued In an lnsenslble Coudltlon.

John Newman and Edward Johnson,
two plumbers employed by N ash & Van
Scoy on the new Sentinel building on
Washington street,South Norwalk, had
a very narrow escape from being sufi'o-
cated by gas, last evening at 6 o‘clock.

In order to connect the building With
the large gas main running down Wash-
ington street, a trench had been dug
from the building out under the trolley
tracks 1n the center of the street.

As the tracks and paving could not be

'removed, Newman and Johnson crawled

under the track bed and there tapped
the large gas main. As the tap entered
the main the gas rushed out into the
faces of the workmen. There being no
outlet except thro'iigh the opening
which they had entered, the powerful
fumes of the gas soon overcame noth 01
the men.

Newman who was nearest the Opening
managed to crawl out on his hands and
knees and soon revived, but Johnson
was completely overcome and fainteu
and was pulled out by Frank Marten,
another workman, who carried him to
the store of Francis 35 Co., where Dr
Burke applied restoratives and brought
h1m back to consciousness. He fainted
again, however, but Soon rallied and
was able to go to his home. To-duy he
is at work again, and complains of pains
about the chest.

' NatlonalG. A. R. Encampment-

Tt'.e late encampment of the G. A. R.
atLo.1:sv1llc, Ky., was its first session
holder: on what may be termed “seces-
sion sou.” Yet it has ncvor- been wel.
comed with a more hearty greeting, or
entertained With greater liberality oi
spirit and friendliness. '

It was truly a union of both heart ano
hand. between the Blue and the Gray.

There seemed to be a desire on the pan
of the confederate soldier, to ex. em
such a welcome as should blot out ever,
thought of North and South, and 1;.
again stand united under one common
flag waving over an undivided countiy .

Every door seemed to be open ano
every effort made to bestow that hospi-
tality for which the Southern people
have ever been noted.

If those who fought the battles,.enter-
ing into those deadly struggles, can lay
aside all prejudice, and bitterness 01
feeling and join hands in friendliness
and union of patriotic purpose, hon
much more readily should those, whi
had no part in those dead ly struggles,
lay aside all feelings of animosity ano
sectional hatred, and help become 11
united people, cemented togetherin the
fraternalbonds of brotherhood.

As an instance of this fraternal spirit,
let me say that M1. W. H. Benedict; a
resident of Louisville, beluga relative
of Mrs. Henry Allen, who resides 11.
Norwalk, extended, through her, an 11;.
vitation to all delegates of the G. A. R
and the Woman’s Rehef Corps, of N01-
Walk, who might attend the encamp-
ment, to make their home with him
during their stay in that city. And to
those who accepted this other, every
hospitality and kindness Was extended,
even to the visiting of public buildings,
public parks and other places of amuSe-
ment and public resort.

The dedicatory services upon the
battlefields of Chickamauga and Look-
out Mountain, were also demonstrations
of the same friendly feeling between
the veterans of the Federal and Confed
crate armies, where the credit to valor
was awarded to those who participated
in the deadly struggles of those bloody
fields. The same generous hospitality
was shown, and the thousands of visit-
ing people were amply cared for during
their stay at the city of Chatanooga.

The journey from Louisville to
Chickamauga. is over one continuous
line of sacied ground to the old veter-
ans of the Cumberlanl Army, dotted
with successive battlefields of more 01
less notoriety. Therefore every mile
was fraught with sacred memories,
making the entire trip one of interesi
and enjoyment.

The old battlefield of Chickamauga,
where I receiVed four gun shot wounds
during the tWO days of fighting, had
never been visited by me since the
night I lay behind the little breastwork
of rails, after Thomas’ forces had rc-
treated, to be gathered up among the
wounded by the Provo-guard of Bragg’s
arm} , and sent to military prisons in
the Southern confederacy.

I have not only lived to see that strug-
gle properly 1ecognized as one of the
bloodiest, but to see those days of dark:

.ness and toil turned. into brightness and
