"" 1 Attend the City Meeting. Every good citizen who has the best interests of Norwalk at heart, should be at the Town House, promptly at three o’clock this p. m. '0. Give Our Laborers Work. A city meeting is to be held at the Town House at three o’clock this after. noon primarily to appropriate the sum of $2 ,800 to pay fo1 work largely al- ready done and necessary to be done before winter sets in. It is a fact. known to all, that large numbers of the honest laboring men of Norwalk are out of work and in dire need of assistance. - Unless employment can be given these, our tax-payers must defray the cost of the support of the dest1tute men and their families during the coming, sure to be hard, winter. In. this condition of things, 'would it not be the wisest char1ty and good bus- iness judgment, for the meeting to au- thOrize our City Council, if it be com- petent to do so at this meeting, to fur- ther employ'as many worthy citizens in 'need ofwork, as can be used on our highways or water works to the public advantage. It is believed that a con- siderable of such work could be advan- tiigeously given out this fall and winter instead of being postoned until spring, as has been ususal heretofore. At all events, let the money be promptly appropriated‘for work already done and imperatively needed to be done, as asked for in the call of the meeting. ' The “Public Nuisance.” Mr. Smith’s refusal of information is accounted for. The public are told “it is none of your business.”—Hour.

Smith is singled out‘ for B’r Maple's’ abuse, when the whole ,0in board are responsible for the highway ' expenditures, is because he refuses to permit the Hour man to be his keeper and bunco steerer, as did Grand Master Mead, and Selectman Daskam, to the ruin of both.

The" Jury Unable t0‘—'Agree'_ Upon a Verdict. Said to Have Stood 1 1 to 1 For Con- victlon. The trial of Mrs. Kate Fahan, charg- ed with keeping :1 door ,_open between her bar room and entrance to her living apartments, was held before Judge R. J..Walsh in Bridgeport, yesterday. Chief Bradley, Albert Harris, James Brundage and OfiicerBartram testified for the State as to the facts, the defense placing no witnesses upon the— stand. Prosecuting Liquor Agent, E. M. Lockwood then presented the case to the jury in a short but effective speech. He was followed by Attorney ‘J. Belden 'Hurlbutt, for the - defense, who made one of the best arguments yet heard in a criminal court room, citing a large number of references to support his position. The closing argument for the State was made by. Judge William B. Glover. Judge 1W alsh their ab'ly frovie W61] the case, sweeping away Athirney Hurl- butt’s argument and references, and placing the whole matte-r before the jury in an unusually plain manner. In fact his charge was clearly agamst Mrs. Fahan and in favor of a conviction. The case was then given to the jury whOTetired. After forty-five minutes of deliberation they returned and much to the surprise of all reported that they were unable to agree, the foreman stating in reply to a question from the Judge, that he did not believe an agree- ment could be reached. It is understood that the jury stood 11 to 1 for conviction, and it is reported that Juror Malone, of Bridgeport, is the one who hung the jury, he also be— ing reported as saying that he; would stay fifty years before he would bring in a verd1ct of guilty, A strange coincidence co nected with the trial 1s the fact that At torney Lock- wood requestad Judge Crlover to have Malone taken off the list before the trial began, but the latter thought he would be all right and he was left on. M‘s. Fahan will now have to be tried over again. ' An Athletic League. The Norwalk, Danbury and Stam- ford Y. M. C. A. associations have or- ganized an athletic league.

They will now be left al- most helpless to care for themselves, and some place of refuge ought to be provided for them at once, until such time as their father may again be able to care for them.

They first forced the through the cellar, went to the stairs. office. They immediately went to work on the big safe which stood in the corner of the postofi’ice. A hole was drilled in the door of the safe, close to the combinatidn lock, and a fuse was then inserted. The thieves placed some heavy blankets, and evident- ly their coats, on the safe', so as to duration the noise, and then touched the fuse Off. The safe door was, blown open and the thieves then thoroughly ransacked: the safe. stamps of all denominations and also se- cured $500 in cash which was in the safe. There were $150 worth of money orders aiid seven registered letters in the safe, too, but the thieves, in their haste to complete the job and get .way, evidently overlooked these. The -ogistered letters contained several hundred dollars. The charge of dynamite was a heavy one, as the entire back of the safe was blown out by it. ' The postofiice is situated at the corner of Highland and Springfield avenues in a ncvv' building. It occupied the ground floor. Michael Crystal, ,a plumber, resided over the postoffice. He was walking along the floor over the postofl‘ice with his sick baby about 3 o ’.clock He. heard the explosion, but thought it was only a torpedo on the rail- road track near by. There are but two policemen in Sum-1 mit at night. John Stewart, one of them, was at the railroad station at the time of the explosion, but paid no attention to it. . He also thought it had been made by a- torpedo. . ' The thieves before they entered the postoflice had arranged a signal cord from the sidewalk to the safe which would warn them in ones any one Was near. One of the thieves evidently watched on the outside, and it was probably arranged for him to pull this cord if there was dan- or. The robbery was not discovered until 6 o ’,-clock when Mrs. Bridget Lane, the postmistress, went to the postoffice to open the place for the day. (10mins BUILDING STRIKE. Both Sides to the Controversy Now Play- ing :1 Waiting Game. NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—Both sides in the housesmiths’ and bridgemakers’ strike are now playing a waiting game. President Lary of the Housesmiths’ and Bridgemakers’ union was on hand today at Clarendon hall, the headquarters of the strikers. (He said that there had been no more men called but on sympathetic strikes to- day, and there would be none unless the iron firms attempted? to put nonunion men at work. The pickets of the Housesmiths’ union and walking delegates watch the affected buildings very carefully and thus far have been able to prevent the employ ment of nonunion men on the jobs. President Lary stated that he would prepare an answer to the statement issued by the Iron league, in which it was denied that the Cornells and ': Millikens had been paying less than current wages. The board of arbitration are still wait- ing at the Murray Hill hotel for a chance to arbitrate. Commissioner Purcell said that the executive committee of the Iron league would appoint a committee to meet the commissioners of arbitrar ion. Millikan Bros, though not members of the Iron league, have decided to act in concert with the league, so that the strug- gle has now practically settled down .to a fight between ; the Iron league and the Housesmiths’ union. Should attempts at settlement fall, it is expected that the Cornells will put non-. union men at work on their rush jobs.
