A Lie About an Owl.
We do not believe a word of a story
now going the rounds to the effect that
the president- has a pet owl, proclaims
the Washington Post. It is said that
he captured this owl at Buzzard’s Bay,
last- summer, rod that it has ever since
been his constant companion. It fol-
lows him about everywhere and sits
7 solemnly on his shoulder while" he
writes. We do not believe a word of it.
We regard it as an unmitigated roor~
back.
If there were an owl at the White
House we should have heard of it be-
fore this. It would not have been nec-1
essary for us to wait until the informa—
tion cone to us from some paragrapher
011a Western newspaper. And even if
there were aneowl, we are quite sure
the President would not make a pet of
it and let. it sit upon his shoulder while
he writes. The owl is nuts pretty bird.
Neither is it affectionate and pre—
possL-ssing. Furthermore, its habits
are not at all nice and it smells un—
pleasautly in the bargain. The owl
may be regarded by unthinking per-
sons as an emblem of wisdom, but, it -
has no real title to that distinction. It
is a stupid and a greedy animal, and its
sole claim to the appearance of in—
telligence consists in a stolid demeanor
and a particularly sluggish sensibility.
Besides that it cannot see at all clearly
by day and often blunders sadly,on that
account
‘31 e denounce this story concludes
the Post, without hesitation as a canard,
(which is the French for ‘7duck), and
we hurl it back with contempt and in-
dignation upon its impotent and bafiled
author—whoever he may be.

Where the Power Lies.
._ Mr. Cleveland’saction in starting Ofi'on
a prolonged shooting trip when a high-
ly important official communication
from the British Governmentin regard to
Venezuela. was daily expected in Wash—
ington, has been severely criticised by
citizens and by Congressmen of both
parties. the
Significance of this act on the part of
the Executive, however. Mr. Cleve-
land undoubtedly knew the general
tenor of Lord Salisbury’s reply to Sec-
retary Olney’s (iiipatch before he
penned his message to Congress. If
the nation means to uphold the vigor-
ous assertion of the Monroe doctrine
which Mr. Olney, in accordance with
explicit Congressional instructions is-
sued last February, transmitted‘to the
British Foreign Office, then the in-
itiative in the programmenf resistance
It is easy to overestimate
to British usurpation on the American
continent belongs to the represents.
lives of ti. 0 American people.
It was Congress, and not the Presi-
dent, that was responsible for . the Cl-
ney dispatch requgsting Great: Britain
to submit her boundary dispute with
Venezuela to arbitration. It was Con-
gress, and mt Mr. CieVeluLid, that will
lay down the policy by which the
Ugited States will be guided in dealing
with England’s insolent demand that
Venezuela shall yield. one-third of her
territory and toe control of the mouth
of the Orinoco to British rapacity.
Thatthc Presidentls course in leav
lug Washington for a season of rccrea
tion should have
aroused surprise and censure is not re-
markable But the country should un-
dcretand that the re a1 power of govern-
at this juncture
l
ment is to-day vested in the two repre-
sentative bodies that meet in the Senate
and house wings of the Capitol. While
Congress was not in session the Execu-
tive was practically unhamperezl in his
acts. Now the reins of power have
been taken up by the men who have
come from every corner of the United
States to promote and safeguard Ameri-
can interests. E ' Mr. leveland’s absence
will necessarily delay the sending of
his supplementary message on \ ens-zu-
elan affairs, giving an ofiicial version of
the contents of Lord Salisbury ’s‘ note.
This is the only efi'ect it can have. The
' destinies of the Republic and the main- ‘.
tenance of its rights abroad are in the
keeping of the' National Legislature.
There is no question but that a decided
majorityin both lioness stand ready
to uphold the Monroe doctrine with
unflinching resolution.
AFalse Alarm. _ .
All is not gold'thnt glitters, and all
complaints made to the police are not
worthy of notice. Some of them, how-
ever, are of an amusing character as
was one made last night.
Alady resident ofS . .John avenue
became frightened at the suspicious
actions of a man on that usually quiet
avenue. She. slealthily crept out of the
back do .r of her house and going
through an adjoining yaad, came down
- town where she met Officer Morehouse.
She stated to him that there was a
manacting strangely on the avenue,
and she feared that he intended doing
something wrong. , In explanation,
she said that he was walking up and
down the stieet, and at- intervals would
bend down and kiss the street.’ She
felt sure that ho was either crazy or
intended burglarizing some of the'
houses in the neighborhood.
Officer Morehouse. lost no time in
reaching the avenue, and sure enough
found the man as stated. He quietly
approached him, and althoughlhc man
must have seen the glittering buttons
on th'c'olficer’s coat, he showed no iii..-
position t) run away.
Mr. Morehouso stepped up to the
man and was about to ask him what he
was prowung about the street for, when
~hc recognized him as being Levi C.
Hant‘ord, superintendent of the Gas
.Light company. .
Mr. Hanford said “Hallo, Bub,
,what’s up?” _
The officerina by no means timid
tone of voice, said, “Gosh ding it, is
that you Hunt'ord, what in thunder are
you looking for ? ” ‘
“Lookingfor, haven’t you got any
smellcrs. 9 Can’ tyou smell gasleaking?
Its strong enough to knock down a
plumber.”
The woman was advised of the situa—
tion and'told that she need have no
cause fur alarm as the man was Mr.
Hanford and instead of kissing the
ground he was simply trying _tO ferret
out a leak in the gas main.
Held For Burglary.
James Casey and Peter Creamer who
are believed to be professional burg-
lars, were tried before Justice Hyatt in
the Westport town court house yester-
day and bound over to the Superior
court for trial on the charge of burg-
lary. Sunday afternoOn the two men
broke into a tool house of the Consoli-
dated road and stole tools with which
they subsequently forced an entrance
into the summer residence of Sidney
Smith at Greens Farms. Mr. Smith is
-at present residing in New York, but
his summer place is left in charge of
Patrick Shaunessey.
The latter discovered the burglars in
the house and tried to capture them.
They showed fight and pulled a pistol.
The watchman was joined by several
other people and followed the burglars
to a creek a mile and a half away on a
lively run. Casey jumped into the
creek but being exhausted was unable
to swim across. Creamer stopped on
the bank and fired at his pursuers but
missed hitting them. They were finally
taken into custody.
To Raid Poker Rooms.
The Danbury retail Liquor Dealers’
assocmtion has furnished information
to the county commissioners concern-
ing druggists who turn their stores
into saloons and sell openly on Sundays.
At least two applications for druggists’
licenses will be refused by the commis-
sioners, and six applicants have been
warned against further violation of the
law.
The police of that city will make a
series of raids on the many poker rooms
in the main streets. These gambling
dens have been allOWed to exist for
several years. There are seven poker
places within a block of the corner of
White and Main streets. The most
notorious is in Elm street. "‘hc en-
trance is through the cellar and up a
flight of stairs to a rear room on the
first floor. This room is connected
with-a neighboring saloon by an electric
bell. When there is any indication of
9. End this bell is quickly rung, and the
inmates of the place quickly disperse.
Happy lVlrs. PreusSer.

A Layout Given the Street Hallway
Company.
.1 ————E- _ Q
”A Session Lasting Scarcely Half an
Houn
City Council was held last evening, the
Mayor and full board being present
with the exception of sCouncilman
Pinneo. -
The water commissioners were direc-
ted to pay Webster Austin the sum of
$1,000 for water rights at Silver Mine,
and they were also directed to pay the
cost of the new fire hydrant at the cor-
ner of School and Main streets.
The sum of $400 was appropriated to
the sewer department.
The most important matter brought
before the council for .action was the
petition of the Norwalk Street Railway
company for a layout for the extension
of the company’s tracks up and over
Mill Hill through Exist avenue to the
city boundaryon Newtown avenue. ’
The following preamble and resolu:
tion were adopted:
WHEREAS, said Mayor and Co‘uncil
have carefully considered said matter,
and it appearing to them (1) That Wall
street from the westerly end of what is
known as the Qumtard building, east-
erly to Smith street is not wide
enough to give to said Mayor and
council the right under law to locate
another track through said street, as
it would not leave room for the requir-
ed space 011 each Side between the other
‘rail and the curb, and (2) That there
are buildings along each side of said
street last named, all of which are oc-
cupiedE by store-keepers, actively en-
gaged in business therein, and (3) That
said Wall street and the extension there-
of known as East Wall street, or more
familiarly known as Mill Hill, is the en-
trance into said city from Cranberry
Plains, Westport, Bridgeport, East
Norwalk and all the surrounding coun-
try, and (4) That said Mill Hill is very
steep, and on that coconut, and because
of the narrowness of said Wall street,
as it is now with only a single trolley
truck running through said street, the
operation of cars thereon is a constant
menace to life and property,. and a
great obstruction to the passage of
vehicles, and (5) That_before another
track can be legally and with safety to
the public, located on said s!reets,Wall,
and East Wall streets should be widen-
ed, and Mill Hill cut down t-u at least a
seven per cent grade. Now therefore,
liESOM'ED, That we, the Mayor and
Council of the City of Norwalk do here-
by accept. approve and adopt the appli-
cation and plans of the said Norwalk
Street Railway company as modified by
the plan and map accompanied here-
w1th, and marked “Map adopted by
the Council of the City of Norwalk,
showing layoutfior the Street Railway
company of its Wall street extension
and made a part hereof.”
Meaning and intending to give to
said Street Railway company the same
layout already given to the Norwalk
Tramway company, from the present
sw1tch oft-he Street Railway company
just west of the Quintard building,
easterly to the point where the Street
Railway company’s tracks commence
on'said map adopted by said citv, op-
pos1te what is known as the 'Bissell
homestead, and from thence northerly
on their separate layout. as nearly as
can be through the center of the street
Ens indicated on said map, to the city
me.
The council then adjourned until
Monday evening, December 23d.
The action of the council last night
takesithe entire matter off of the city’s
hands and narrows it down to a contest
between the Tramway and Street Rail-
way companies.

Was a Strong Man.
The Danbury News prints the_follow-
ing in reference to Anthony Ratchford
who died at the home of his brother-in-
law T. J. Howard in this city:
“Anthony Ratcthrd, whose funeral
was held at the St. Peter’s church this
morning, was at one time considered
one Of the strongest and most perfectly
built men in Danbury. He had the
strength of an ox and many stories are
told of his unusual feats. There were
few men who could best him in any ath-
letic contest. He was only thirty-four
years old at the time of his death,
which was caused by consumption.
- Have'Got Them to Get.
E It is understood that the managers of
the South Norwalk Fife and Drum
corps refuse to deliver to 00. F. the sil-
ver pitcher which they won in a voting
contest given by the corps, and that
the same is true in ieference to a trum-
pet won by the Pioneer Hook if: Ladder
The reason for not giving
the prizes is alleged to be “we did not
realize enough from the votes 'cast to
pay the cost.” It is said that Co. F.
will insist on having the pitcher, and
the Pioneer boys don’t care a rap
whether they get the trumpet or not.

ings Remain.
remains Of the material that came with-
in reach of his darts.
The flames, when first disciwered
fivere in the store of Bedient & Mead,
on the first floor of G. S. Gage s block.
Almost before these who responded to
the alarm knew it, the block was com-
pletely wrapped in' flame, and a few
minutes later, despite the efforts of a
hastily organized bucket brigade, had
jumped to ' the next building, This
flashed up like tinder and at this junct-
ure the occupants of the, adjoining
blocks realized that their belongings
were in danger.
‘ The work of removing everything
portable was commenced none too soon.
At 11 o’clock, the entire Gage block
was destroyed and the flames had leap-
ed across Bailey avenue into Scott’s
block. Here was the Office of the Wes-
tern Union Telegraph Co., and the
grocery store of Barhite&Valdeu. The
flames swept through them with irre-
sistible fury and soon were ravaging
the Town Hall. Immediately in the
rear of the Town Hall are the stables of
James Scott, ' which caught fire several
times, the flames being persistently and
successfully fought.
0n the Main street side of the fire
things were much worse. The budding
in which were the office_of the Ridge-
ii’eld Press and the Masonic lodge rOoni
fell quickly, being soon fodowed by
the drug store of H. P. Bissell. To the
rear of this Was the tool and plumbing
shop of Peter _ McGlynn, 'which also
burned like tinder.
. When the drug store was seen to be
doomed grave fears for the safety of
the rest of the town were created. The
expedient of blowing up the houses in.
the track of the flames to prevent their
further ,spread was suggested and
the suggestions met With a ready re-
sponse. _ There were no explosives in
the village but two miles away in the
woods was a quantity of dynamite at a
quarry. . A party to procure this was
soon organized with Grocer D. M.
Iieeler at its head and the distance be-
tween the village and the quarry was
covered in a run. Some delay was ex-
perienced in getting the dynamite,
owing to the absense of the man who
had. charge of the toolhouse. When at
last the explosive was obtained, a mad
race was run back to the. village.
- The house of Joseph Hibbard, next
to Bissell’s drug store, wnsin imminent
danger and itEwas seen that it could not
be saved. It was then decided to apply
the dynamite‘to this structure. Mr.
Hibbard. who had been ill with pneu-
m'onia for a week, was carriedout on a
blanket,
diagonally across thestreet. When the
furniture had been taken out two boxes
of dynamite were placed under ,a bay
window on the east side of the house
and fired. The explosive, owing to
the poor'Jocation of the dynamite, did
not produce the desired effect, the bay
window being sent sky high, while the
rest of the building was unhuit. Before
a second charge of dynamite could be
procured the building was blazing
merrily.
Another expedient was resorted to
and the house of Henry Sherman, to
the south’ of the Hibbard residence,
was torn down with axes and hooks.
This proved to be of good effect for al-
though the house was burned 'after it
was torn down the flames were so low
as not to spread to the residence and
store of Julius Meyer, which was less
than twenty feet distant. The fire had
now reached its boundary, the Meyer
building marking its limit. ‘ '
Meanwhile the Methodist church had
caught fire twice and twice the flames
were drowned out. Inside, the church
lay the sick man, Hibbard, who was re-
moved when the building first began to
blaze. ’
It was nowpearly 4 o’clock and the
wind having gone down. the fire began
to wane. An hour later great heaps of
blazing timbers sent forth their sparks
and Cinders, but their power to do
harm was gone. Slowly they smoul-
dered until at daylight every. particle
of Wood in each of the destroyed bull.
dings was completely incinerated.
The closest estimates obtained make
the total loss about $100, 000 and the' in-
surance carried between $40, 000 and
$45,000.
