Bicycling Policemen.

New York is to have policemen
mounted upon wheels to patrol the city
streets to see _that the wheelmen re-
spect the municipal laws and that they
are given their rights in the thowugh-
fares of the city. These patrolman are
to be furnished with the best wheels
and must be men accomplishedlin rid-
ing. This is a movement which has
been made necessary by the violation
of law by many \vheelmen, and the
many inexcusable accidents which have
resulted. from drivers not recognizing
the rights-of wheelmen in the streets.

The necessity for the use of the
wheel tn pursuing mounted law-break-
ers has become apparent in the cities,
and mounted wheelmen are now a
necessity on most city forces.

i This being the case, why should not
the council»; of Norwalk and South
Norwalk mount the police forces of the
twin cities upon bicycles? Can a more
awe inspiring sight} be imagined than

up

ing- down upon an offender against the
law? But perhaps we have placed the
Chief on t ,‘0 light a wheel,in which case
there might be some tall weaving on
the par: of the bicycle, a mesh, a fall
and a coaiimingling of gold braid and
mother earth. ’l‘heu there is Captain

ious- uniform when gully Wheeling down

ice: of the others if he were not given a
bicycle cup in. place of his helmet, as the
latter mars his really good looks at pres-
ent, and mounted on a bicycle he would
not be lull. Of course Corporal Bartram
would look well on a wheel, as he is
built for anything and graces every-
thing. .

Now that the Norwalk police are
mounted the next in turn comes the
police of South Norwalk. First is Chief
Vollmer. Where could you find in
Connecticut a more striking figure upon
a bicycle ‘3 Would nothe astonish the
passengers on the trains over Washing-
ton streqt bridge as he madly dashed
down Iliiilroad Square in pursuit of law
breakers. Next comes Captain Cole-
grove, but we fear that he might speak

thing away, which would not do, and a

man who wears rubber boots and ear-_

stone, the Adonis of ti e force. Where
in all Americ; could a more imposing
figure be found than “Glad’s,” upon a

bicycle? Would he not scorch over the

and Hungarians. Of course there
would have to be some changes made in
the pedals of his wheel before he could
hope to rival the Chief, owing to the
length and breadth of his pedal extremi-
ties, but this could easily be done.

good looking and would make a fine
appearance upon a wheel.

It is also suggested that the town
officials provide wheels for the consta-
bles, but owing to the expense this will
probably not be done- Should the
select-men change their minds, however,
we suggest tl-at as this branch of. the
. law generally requires assistance, that

Constables Hunt and Ireland be pro-,

vided with velocipedes instead of bicy-
cles to prevent their riding themselves

If bicycles are provided the work of
the officers, as well rls their riding, will

‘ Comparisons Tell the Story:

The elationrofthe party of free trade
and open markets over an incgease in
the exportation of manufactured arri-
eles has led to an ~eximination of the
merits of the claim that the Wilson
bill has been of any benefit to trade,
and The American Economist finds that
it has not. This journal has compared
the agricultural products exported with
our manufactured goods in 1891, 1832
and 1895, taking the first nine months
of each of these years—"41nd following is
the result of its examination:

The President’s Message.

President Cleveland’s annual mes-
sage, read before the two houses of
Congress, yesterday, was both a sur-
prise and a disappointment and appar-
antly fell flat, as little or no attention
was paid to its reading in eitl or house.
The following extracts from the press
of New York gives some idea of how the

The net loss in

message is received by the public;

Mr. llcvclaud denounces the old tar-
ifi as inefficient for purposes of revenue
but to the astonishment of every citi-
zen who reads the document from br-
ginning to end, the end Will be reached
without finding one sentence or one
line of information or recommendation
on the subject of providing. a revenue
adequate to the present needs of the
Government of the United States—~Sun.
President Cleveland’s message is
unique, as a revelation of character.
Sturdy adherence to opinion in the face
of majorities may belong alike to the
higheststatcsman and the wildest crank.
But adherence in the face off:m‘rs,fizrbil-
ity to ignore facts utterly when they
conflict with one’s opinions, is nuts: e :1-
ness. No President has ever delivered
another message afi'rontlng so large a
share of the people.-Tribune.

One cannot read President Cleve-
land’s discussion of the financial situa-
tion and his enggestions of remedial
legislation without confessing a sense
of disappoifitment—Journal.

“Stale, flat and unprofitable,” is, per—

haps, as fitting a characterimtion of the

next to last annual mossase which Gro-

ver Cleveland will ever read to Con-
gress as can be mido. The document
is tame, flabby and spiritless to the de-
gree of absolute stupidity.——Adve’rtlser.
Mandamus Proceedings.

Action was taken yesterday which
will bring the question as to the legali-
ty of the late election in Westport be-
fore tho Superior court. Thig action is
a mandamus order secured by Attorney
Judson from Judge Elmer and return-
able Friday, Dec. 6.

Counsel for the applicant, who is
“Doc” Underwood, of Westport, claims
that the election and vote on the license
question were invalid, us only the initi-
als of election officials appeared on the
envelopes, whereas the law requires
that the full name shall appear. The
commissioners claim that they have no
discretion in the matter, as they can be
governed only by the olficial declara-
tion of the result of the vote on the
license question, and in accordance
with such declaration they have refused
to Eissus any. licenses in the town of
Westport.

 

Silver Wedding.

Mr. and Mrs. John G. Fillow are
celebrating their 25th wedding anniver-
sary at their home in West Norwalk
this afternoon. At 2 o’clock some
thirty-five guests sat down to an anni-
versary dinner comprising a spread of
choice viands and delicacies, which
were heartily enjoyed. This evening a
silver reception will be held. Excellent
music for dancing has been provided,
and as Mr. and Mrs, Fillow are grand
good entertalners a happy time is as-
sured. A wedding breakfast will be
served. A large number of friends
from this city expect to be present.

Charles T. Ellis, undoubtedly the
greatest stage favorite with ladies and
children everywhere, comes to Hoyt’i
Theatre on Monday night Snext, when
he willl be seen inhis grand new scen-

German comedy-drama in three acts.
He is always a welcome visitor and has

' Congress has organized and is again

Congress was promptly favored with
the President’s message on its opening,
Tuesday. It is variously criticised.
One democratic senator s.-.id to me that
“the President has used a great many
words and taken a great deal of time to
say a very little.” This is about the
average criticism of both parties.

A Connecticut republican said the
message was lzlre the story of the little

didn’t say ‘nothin.’ ”., The fairest criti—

All IMPORllllll MEETING

‘A Plan for Reorganizlng the N. 3.:

S. N. Electric Light Company.
_ Presented.-

The Assessment Plan Favored.

A special meeting of the Norwalk 5.:

' South Norwalk Electric Light company

was held yesterday afternoon at the
company’s office in this city.

The meeting was called to hear the
report of a committee appointed at- a
previous meeting to devise some plan
for the reorganization of the company.

According to the plan presented, a
small assessment will be required upon
each share. thus floating the company
out of pressing debts.

Most of the Norwalk stock was repre-
sented and the majority of the holders
were in favor of the plan presented by
the committee. Messrs. E. S. Adams
and Charles E. Jackson were appointed
a committee to prepare the proper pa-
pers and the former will meet Mr.
Jackson at Middletown for that pur-
pose, to-day.

It was estimated that the earnings of
the plant for the ensuing year will be
from $8,000 to $10,000.

The plant is mortgaged for about
$65,000 and the company has in addition
a debt of from $10,000 to $15,000.

The Norwalk Gas company holds a
second mortgage on the plant for $16,-
000'with accrued interest. If some plan
of reorganxzxtiou is not completed be—
fore’December 6th, (the time limit ex-
piring on that day,)‘ the Gas Company
can go into the courts and ask for. a
foreclosure 8f their mortgage.

There is also held against the stock-
holders a receivers certificate for $4,-
500 expended on new machinery for the
plant. _

It is believed that by the proposed
plan both the Gas company’s mortgage
and the receivers certificate can be paid,
and the company placed on the road to
success. _

The necessary papers will probably
be in readiness for signatures to-mor-
row, and the stockholders will be giv-
en an opportunity to sign them, or no.
cessarily suffer the entire loss of their
individual holdings in said stock.

Whatever is done to save the stock-
holders from entire loss will have to be
done immediately. ‘

Hospital Association Meetlng

The annual meeting of the Norwnlk

Messrs. Charles B. Stevens, John H.

Connecticut Good Roads.

Under the law passed by the legisla-
ture for promoting good roads, about
thirty have been completed in the state,
of which thirteen have already been
accepted by the State Road Commiss-
ioners. Some seventy-six towns out of
the 168 in the state will probably avail
themselves soon of the provisions of
the act, which provides that the state
shall pay one-third the cost ofanew
road, the county one-third and the
toWn one-third—no town to expend
more than $3,000 in one year under the

act, and the state is not to spend in one .

year more than $75,000 altogether. The
law requires “a macadamlzed or a tel-
ford or other stone road, or other road
that will at all seasons of the year be
firm, smooth, and convenient totravel,”
the tiwn to keep it in repair when
built.

When the law was passed it was fear
ed that the larger and richer towns of
the state would avail themselves of the
act, and that the poorer country towns,
which have many of them very bad
roads, would not do so and tax them-
selves one third the cost. This to some
extent appears to be the case, but not
to the degree that was apprehended.

Everthlnglooks Favorable for the
Locating of the West Side ‘
Silk MlllS in Town.

An Enthu’slastlc Meetlng Held Last
' leht,

Mr. M. .Steinhart reprbsenting the
West Side Silk Mills company, was in
town yesterday. The compau y propose
movmg their plant to South Norwalk,
and will do so at once if the proper in-
ducements are offered them,

A meeting looking to that desired
ultimatum was held last evening, at the
office of Taylordz Golden. The meet.-
ing was an enthusiastic one.

Mr. E. Hill read a report of his and
Mr. John H. Ferris’ investigation of
the afl'tirs of the company arid it was of
a very favorable nature.

The company wantl a. guarantee of
$5,000 to coverthe eXpeuse of remev-
ing the plant here, no money to be paid
until the machinery of the company is
placedin the building andin running or.—
der, at which time $2,503 is ti be paid,
and the Balance at the end of three
months operation of the plant. The
company proposes employing 103 men
on the start and hope to increase the
number within a short time.

Messrs. O. E. Wilson, E. O. Keeler,
J. R. Marvm and I". H. Golden were
appointed a committee to secure sub-
scriptions for the required amount, and
before the ‘meeting adjourned about
$51,500 was pledged, and it is believed
.that the full amount will be subscribed
before another hassling, which is called
at the Norwalk Club rooms to.—morrow
night to perfect arrangements, is held.

Tue company looks with favor on the
the old corset factory building on Water
street, South Norwalk and latterly oc’
copied by the Pratt 8: Wood C). as a.
shoe maliufuctory, and will purchase
the same if they decide to locate in town
which they will surely do if their re-
quest for $5,000 is granted.

That our business men will take ad-
vxintage of the opportunity seems as-
sured, as they are shgucious and wise,
and the move will be not only of bene-
fit to themselves but to the entire town.

Agalnst Bounty Claimant.

J udgo Hall of the Superior court yes-
terday handed down a decision on the
demurrer filed by the plaintiff to the
defense set up in the case of Andrew .1.
Barnes against the town of New Haven.
Blrnes is a veteran of the late war and
under a recent act of the legislature
brought suit against the town for over
$1,300, including $300 bounty and in-
terest since 1861. The demurrer setup
that the defense to the suit was prohibi-
ted by the terms of the act under which
the suit was brought, uni the court
sustains it.

The Barnes suit waft brought as a test
case and the decision of the court is
consequently of great; importtnce.
Should Barnes finally succeed in ob-
taining judgment no doubt the town
will appeal to the supreme court.

Stole a Pocketbook.
A tramp entered the house No. 39

0 o’clock, this morning, while Mrs.
Craw, the occupant, was temporarily
absent and stole a pocketbook contain-
ing a sum of money, and also helped
himself to some small change which laid
on the table, amounting in all to some-
thing less than $3. Thefirst intimation
Mrs. Crew had of the visit was on being
told by a neighbor who saw the man,
evidently a tramp,come out of the house
and hasten up the street.

Chief Vollmer was notified and a (lil-
igent search is being made for the fel-~
low, who is described as being a Ger-
man, short und stout, and wore a cap,
well worn russet shoes, and trousers
turned up at- the bottom. He was with-

Basket Ball.

The first of a series of games between
the Basket ball teams of the Norwalk
and Stamford Y. M. C. A., was played
in Stamford, last evening, in which the
Norwalk players were worsted by a
score of 10 to 1. This sore defeat was
no doubt due to the fact that but two of
the regular Norwalk team, Messrs.
Jackson and Half. put in appearance,
and less experienced players had to be
substituted. While the Norwalk team
might not have with their friends are
confident, that had the regular team
played, the score would have been much
more in favor than the one made. The
teams are to meet again next month.
And perhaps Norwalk will win.
