The Mill Hill Contest.

It is evident from both the action and
the non action atllast night’s Council
meeting, that the application of the
Norwalk Street Railway company, for
permission to extend its tracks up and
over Mill Bill, will not be granted, ex-
cept at the end of a prolonged, bitter
and expensive contest. The chances
even then, are that at the end of such
a contest, the result would be adverse.
Every fair—minded, intelligent and dis-
interested citizen, feels that a great
wrong would b.- committed in filling
that narrow and already dangerous
roadway with more railway tracks,
withouta véry considerable widening
of the same from the top of Mill Hill
down to Knight street. 'TO do this
widening of the Mill Hill roadway
means the purchase, by the tax-payers
of Norwalk, of much very valuable
property. In the prevailing hfgh
rate of taxation, which has made vigor-
ous “kickers” of all our tin—paying
populace, the granting of the privilege
asked for by the Street Railway com-
pany, by our city authorities, upon any
other condition than that the company
seeking the franchise be required to
pay for its cost, would sweep any board
of Councilmen outof power the moment
our voters could get a chance to elect
a different set of Officers. '

President Bill has given Norwalk the
best street railway equipment and ser—
vice to be found any where in New
England, outside of Springfield, and he
is to be commended for his enterprise
and liberality and business sagacity in
this particular, but he is. seriously hun-
dicapped by the fact that the charter
which he procured while State Senator,
and sold to the Tramway company, car-
ries with it their right to extend its lines
to Cranbury, up past the Church Green
and over Wertport avenue and up St.
John Place, as was adroitly introduced
at last night’s Council meeting by Mr.
Mansfield as a further block to Mr.
Hill’s application to pai‘alel the Tram-
way’s tracks up Mill Hill.

The public would rejoice to see Mr.
Hill’s road extended up to and ai‘ound
the Church Green to Cranbury, and
better still, on in an air line to Poplar
Plain, the western borders of WestOn,
and thence to Redding, but our tax-
payers are in no present mood to bear
any part of the cost of even so great
and coucededly beneficial a measure.

The most expeditious, practical and
least costly method of securing what it
desires, is that suggested, of the Street
Railway purchasing its own’right of
way up from Knight- to Lewis street.
Beneath its tracks, it could erect a ser-
ies of shops and tenments that would
pay a road interest on double allits
cost, with an iron trestle overhead.

Kirk-Bates.

Mr. George W. Kirk, of Westport,
and Miss Georgia A. Bates, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Bates, of Dar-
iei', were married at St. Luke’s church
in Darien this afternoon, the ceremony
being performed by-the rector of the
church, assisted by Rev. Mr. McKen-
zie of. the Memorial church Westport.
John K. Gault was the best man, and
pretty Miss Jennie Kirk, bridesmaid.
Messrs. H. S. flail, Fred Fillow and
Frank Bates filled the offices of ushers
with gentlemanly grace and skill. The
bride was becomingly attired, and of
course looked the picture of happiness.
A reception followed the ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Kirk chased by several
barrels of rice and hundreds of old
slippers, left for a short wedding tour
'after which they will take up their res-
dence in \thport.

A Rich Treat.

The Robert Emmet club will give an
entertainment in the Opera House next
Monday night. Mayor Hubbell will
preside. Among the prominent speak-
ers who will be presant are Gen. Mc~
Mahon and John Devoy. There will
be a concert by first class vocalists. A
committee of the local club will go to
New York Sunday night to attend a
meeting of. the Clan-na-gael.

' Republished From the Files of the

Gazette 01‘1862-‘3;

Alsoa Llst of the Members of the
Several Regiments Who Enlisted
After the Bounties Were

Offered-

 

As the subject of the bounties due to
the soldiers of Norwalk is the all-ab-
sorbing one at present, and as Judge
Hull, in the test case at New Haven,
has decided in favor of the soldiers, we
publish herewith the several bounties
Offered by the town of Norwalk during
‘he years 1862-3.

In addition to the bounties we pub-
lish a list of the members of the several
Norwalk regiments who enlisted after
the bounties were offered by the town.

The list does not contain the names
of all Norwalk soldiers who enlisted, as
a large number of them joined the
different regiments of the state in other
towns but were credited to Norwalk’s
quot-a. In addition to these there are
many who r'e-enlisted after their first
term of service had been completed
and after the bounties were Voted. We
give, however, all that appears from
Norwalk in the files of the GAZETTE at

that time,

On Saturday. August 2, 1862, the town
of Norwalk passed the following vote:

Voted. That there shall be paid from
the town treasury a bounty of fifty dol-
lars to each non'commissioned ofiicer,
musician, artificer or private who since
the recent call for three hundred
thousand men, has enlisted,
or who before the 20th day of this
month shall enlist in this town, into the
service of the United States, in some
regiment raised in this State. Such
payment shall be made by the Select-
men, whenever a proper certificate shall
be produced by them, that such person
has been accepted by the proper au-
thorities, and sworn into the sci-Vice
aforesaid.

This vote, so far as relates to those
who may henceforth enlist, shall only
apply to such persons as Would, in case
of a draft, be reckoned as a part of the
quota required to be raised by this
town.

For a‘ Layout to City Lines Contig-

The Electric Railway War Goes

. Merrily On.

An adjourned public hearing on the
petition ‘of the Norwalk Street Railway
for a'layout for their tracks up and
over Mill Hill to East avenue and to
the city line on Newtown avenue, was
held in the Council rooms last evening.
Among those present were Hon. E. J.
Hill. W. F. Acton, George C. Lockwood
E. S. Adams, A. H. Hoyt, Manice
Lockwood, W. K. Lewis. J. J. Walsh,
C. A. Tucker, G. W. Mansfield, J. B.
Hurlbutt, R. G. Hanford, William
Betts, James H. Bailey, Fred Brower
Edward Cahill and B. C. Feeney.

Superintendent Mansfield of the
Tramway company called attention to
the danger that would result from the
placing of another track on the hill;
also to the fact that the proposed lay-
out would necessitate the crossingof
his company’s tracks on top of the hill
at grade, which would also add to the
danger at that point. -

Mr. E. J. Hill asked if such condi-
tions did not now exist at two points
on Wall street.

Mr. Mansfield answered in the affir-
mative, but said that another crossing
wOuld simiply add to the danger.
Thought both companies had been for-
tunate in escaping accidents at these
points. He considered the whole of
the proposed layout dangerous.

Mr. Hill said that he had been asked
as to what the fare would be between
South Norwalk and Cranbury and had
replied that it would be five cents all
over the company’s line. He said “We
can’t. afford to build the road unless we
can run for five cents.”

Manice Lockwood thought the street

too narrow for two tracks on the hill; '

it was his main way of getting home,
and he objected to there being any
more tracks. -

Daniel Honneckcr was of the opinion
that the street ought to be widened at
that point, but took no stock in the
published report that the Street Rail-
way company would assume two thirds
of the cost- of such widening. Mr. Hill
had told him last Monday night the
company would bear a. share of the (-x-
pense. (Mr. Hill denied having made
any such statement and said what he
did say was that. the company would
pay its proportion of the cost of grading)
Mr. Honnecker said that if the matter
was presented to a public city meeting
the widening would not be ordered.

No one else wishing to be heard the
hearing was then closed.

An adjOurned meeting of the Coun-
cil was then called to order by Mayor
Hub bell.

Bills to the amount of about $400 were
ordered paid.

On recommendation of Councilman
Chinery tne bill of Mr. W. Stevens of
$15 for damages resulted from water
throwninto his shop on a practice night,
was ordered paid. ,

The application of Tax collector Betts
for the abatement of the taxes of sever-
al parties . for reasons presenter] was
laid upon the table.

Mr. E, J. Hill said that the Gas com-
pany was ready to adjust the matter of
taxes due the city by the company, cer-
tain complications havmg been settled.
The matter was referred to Councilmen
Boyer and Smith.

The petition of S. T. Ruby to erect a
frame building on Cross street, the
same to be covered with currugated
iron, was granted.

A petition for a light at the corner of
School and Chestnut streets was refer-
red to'the committee on lights to report
at next meeting of the Council.

A petition with nearly one hundred
signatures asking that the street lights
be kept burning all night was read.

Councilman Wheeler said that the
additional cost would be about $2,600,
and the full cost Of the lights would be
about $9,400. He said that the Electric
Light company was ready to renew its
contract with the city at the same rate
as last year.

Councilman Osborn said that there
was not money enough left in the sum
appropriated to the light department to
carry out the intent of the petition.

Councilman Wheeler recommended
the renewal of the old contract with the
Electric Light company, and the mat-
ter of the contract and the prayer of
the petitioner was referred to him with
power.

A communication was read from "the.
Woman’s club asking that the Council
do all in its power towards the accept-
ance by the city, of the Norwalk libra-
ry.

A petition was read from the Norwalk
Tramway company asking fdr a layout

lfor an extension of its tracks from the

switch at the - top of Mill Hill to the
city line at Cranbury, also from the
said switch over St. John avenue to the
city line, and also from the same point
through East avenue, over the 'West-
port roadto the city line.

On motion of Councilman Smith it
was voted that a public hearing be held
on the petition, at the Council rooms
on Monday, Dec. 2.], at 7:30 o’clock,
and the city clerk wasinstructed to give
proper notice of such hearing.

l

Councilman Wheeler reportedthat it
was impractiable to place an incandes— ,

for, but that the present location of the
arc lights would be changed so as to
meet the requirements of the petition--
ers.

_.Tbe matter of appointing extra po-
licemen was referred to the police com.-
mittee with power. -

Action on the petition of the Streét
Railway company was postponed until
the next meeting of the Council, Mon-
day evening, Dec. 2d after which the
council adjourned.

A Necessity Sa‘le.

N orwalk’s monster Boston Store, has
purchased two - propeller cargoes of
Holiday Goods, and in order to make
room for the same, has resolved one.
great “Necessity Sale,” in order to get
the room for their enormous shipment
of new holiday stock. Every floor of
their four story store is already crowded
and this proposed necessity sale is to
embrace complete lines of Women’s
and Children’s Garments, Jackets and
Furs, and the closing out of Carpets,
Blankets, cic‘; Those who need any of
these necessities of our daily life wrlldo

And Stlll Another.

In going over the abstract of dis-
bursements of the the town for the year
ending August 31, 1895, as published by
the old board of Selectmen, Select-
man Selleck was nonplussed to find
that the Borough of Norwalk was
charged with having received $2,475
road money and the City of South
Norwalk, $3,437.50.

In the report of 1894 the Borough’s
road money amounted to $1,743.75 and
South Norwalk’s to $1,237.50. By
.doubling up the 1894 amounts it makes
each agree. with the 1805 report,
but South Norwalk is crédited with the
Borough’s money and vice versa. '

Why, this was done Mr. Selleck fails
to understand.

A New Canaan Sensation Settled.

The Buttery-Ferris abduction case in
which Charles H. Buttery. charged
Charles Bartram, Mrs. Bartram and
Walter Birdsall with abducting his 16'
year old son, James T. _ Buttery, and
bringing about his marriage with Lizzie
Ferris, several years his senior, ended
yesterday'aftcrnoon in a fiasco, the
case being thrown out of court.

The hearing began at 10 o’clock .in
the Town Hall, Justice Joseph Silliman
presiding. Attorney John Light of
South Norwalk, represented Mr. But.
tcry and Edward M. Lockwood, of this
city, was counsel for the accused trio.
; The room was crowded to suffocation.
The hearing did not. close until 4 o'clock
but the crowd remained throughout,
and at times was convulsed with laugh-
ter at the ridiculous points .=. hich came
out in evidence. Justice Silli’inan final-
ly became disgusted and closed the case
by announcing that t‘icre was not
enough evidence to hold the accused. -_

The most interesting feature of the
day was the evidence of the 16 year Old
groom, James T.’ Butlery, weight 1E0
pounds. '
hearing he testified in behalf of the
Bartrams and Birdsall. Since that time
he, with his bride, has been living at
his father’s home and apparently he has
been converted. Yesterday he admit-
ted that hc lied at the previous hearing
and stated that he testified as he did be-
cause the Bartrams made him. After
the hearing, Buttery senior, his son,

‘I’swonly another name‘ for impure-
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.

When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor-

' puseles which give. it vitality, when it

failsato properly nourish the organs»
andtissues of the‘body, what can you

- expect but that tired feeling and ner-

,vousness?

‘ Of course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni-
versally recognized as bloodadiseases,
for‘which Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is» everywhere
‘acknowled the greatest remedy.

Therefore, as Hood’s Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness. . «

It is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking a preparation which only
quiets your nerves! It is like trying to
“drown” your sorrows in the flowmg
'bowl. Thcy'are sure to retmvn

We wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism: _ 7

You cannot purify your blood by
DEADEN’ING or 'QUIETING your nerves \
with opiate, narcotic or nerve com-
pounds. If you take such articles
you are only TRIFLING with your
troubles. There is sons to be a REAC-
l- TION'which will leave you worse than
- you were before.

Why not. then, take the true course,
follow the bee-line to the state of
health, purify your blood and cure
your Nervousness by taking
