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 hat of Chief Bradley mounted on a Go- up lumbia r:icer,'.vcight 14 pounds, scorch~- 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 DJIIli.

As for Sergeant Kenney, ve fear that he would spoil the fine ef~ ./ 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 to his client steed and thus give some- thing away, which would not do, and a man who wears rubber boots and ear-_ tabs in warm weather Would'not be- come a bicycle, so We bar him alto— gether and take up Detective Glad- 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 hillsend far away alter horse thieves. 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.

A's. to officers Tuthill ahd Decker nithiug used be‘éail as they are both 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 to death. ' If bicycles are provided the work of the officers, as well rls their riding, will be watched with interest by the public. - l ‘ 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.

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. The Ladies and Children’s Favorite Charles T.

' Secures the One Fjormerly Occu- Dlecl by Mr. Miles. 13 GAZETTE’S BUREAU. ) 709 EAST CAPITOL STREET ~ WASHINGTON, DEC. 3d. ' Congress has organized and is again under way. The caucus of republican senators Monday afternoon, although devoid of positive action, demonstrated the fact that a probable successful at- tempt will soon be made to reorganize the Senate in both committees and elective officers. 0 Q 0 Congressmen Hill and .Henry were fortunate in having their names called early in the drawing of seats. Mr. Hill secured the seatof his last republican predecessor, Mr. Miles, and Mr. Henry gets Governor McKinley’s old seat. Mr. Russell was not so fortunate, and with Mr. Sperry had to the a seat in one of the back rows. 0 U (l Senatir Platt is at the Arlington, and General Hawley is housekeeping at 1741 G. St. N. W. Congressmen Hill and Henry are at 1421 K. St. N. W.; Sperry is at the Buckingham on 15th St., and Russell at the Hamilton on 14th. St. 0 0 0 Patent Commissioner Seymour went over to Orange, N. J., and spent Sun- day with his family who are still guests of his mother: The latter is expected to accompany Mrs. Seymour here the present week and will pass the motor with Mr. and Mrs. Seymour. They have taken a furnished house in the north- west. 0 o 0 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. 0 o o A Connecticut republican said the message was lzlre the story of the little Norwalk boy who went to church for the first time and sail the minister “talked and talked and talked, and didn’t say ‘nothin.’ ”., The fairest criti— cism would be to s 1y tho; it ought to have been confined t l at least one-half its length. 0 o o The President sent in the name of Rufus W. Peckam, a brother of Judge Wheeler Peckam, of New York, to be a 81100985.“: of the late Justice Jackson on thejo‘upreme Court bench, ‘ o o 0 Patent Commissioner Seymour walked to the capitol 10-day. His broken ankle is nearly healed. He expects histam- ily to arrive here Thursday. o o o Congressman Hill expects Mrs. Hill to join him here tormorrow. o o 0 Mhny congressmen are impressed with the necessity of a general tariff revision to supply the Treasury with needed revenue. The independent Washing- ton Post ably seconds this. 0 o o . The Senate republicans are to hold a caucus to-morrow, when Mr. Frye Will be nominated for president-pro—tem of the Senate. . o o o The Connecticut contingent resident hole are to give a reception to our Con- gressional delegation at the Arlington, Friday evening. 0 o o The House adjourned over to Friday. ._.____._._.....

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. ‘ _______ _. . ,_.A._-_ Hospital Association Meetlng The annual meeting of the Norwnlk Hospital association was held in the Library rooms in The Norwalk Club] building, last evening. The old board of officers were re-elected with the ex- ception of the secretary. Mr. S. W. Velsor was elected to that. oliice vice J. Arthur Piuneo, resigned- Messrs. Charles B. Stevens, John H. Ferris, S. W. Velsor and Ira Cole, were elected directors for three years. Mr. Cole sufl‘ceeds Mr. Piunco on the board. The officers are : Hon. John H. Fer- ris, President ; Robert Van Buren, Vice President; 8. W. Velsor, Secre- tary ; Charles B. Stevens, Treasurer. Dr. J. G. Gregory, Thomas I. Ray- mond and Rev. S. H. Watkins, Execu- tive Committee. Tue annual reports were read and or- dered on file. ' The proposed plans for the new hOspit- a1 building were examined but will not be accepted uptil some charges have been made in the same. ____._.....__‘___._. 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. -.QD‘—' To Wed. Mr. George Barringer and Miss Nel- lie Canfield, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.. George Canfield, are to be married this evening at the home of the bride’s‘par- ' cuts in Wilton, Rev. Mr. Holmes offi- ciating.

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. -—.-~-——-< o»—-—— -—- 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. —-—————<.o >—— ——-——~-— ~ 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- out an overcoat. v I 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. Unknown Man Killed. An unknown man was struck by the Colonial express near Guilford yester— day afternoon, and received injuries which resulted in his death at the New Haven hospital last night, There were no papers upon the body by which it could be identified.
