, The New Year: ’
The Darnx Gaznrrn enters upon its
sixth volume with the new year.
From the day of its first issue it has
faithfully fulfilled its promise to be
neutral in nothing ; independent in
BYerything. It has no party devotion
to dwarf its manli'ness by defense of
party errors; it has no party hatreds
to blind it to the truth and the best
interests of Norwalk and country. It
is fearless in all things, regardless of
the tempests of clamor or the pressure
of power, and it ever dares to be truth—
ful and honest with all.
The new year just dawned upon us
brings with it greater promises and
graver responsibilities than any year
of the past history of our great free
governmentin times‘of peace. It will
have earnest, desperate conflicts for the
maintenance 'of popular government in
its highest fidelity; and in these strug~
glee for public and private integrity,
and for the common interests of all
conditions and classes, the Glznrrn
will be in the forefront in the future as
it has been in the past. Let all wel-
come the new year with its promises,
and let all accept its duties with patri-
otic devotion to the grandest structure
. of free government over reared by man
or blest by heaven. I
John Bull As a Grabber.
If Mr. Bull is not allowed to crowd
the Venezuelans in South America, he
will take it out on the Boers in South
.Africa. John has a way of shoving his
neighbors, and it cannot be claimed by
his warmest admirers that his behavior
toward the Dutch colonists has been
otherwise than brutal. No doubt it is
the way of the world that when people
of different nationalities colonize awild
continent, the stronger will crowd out
the weaker, as each, has crowded out
the native population. But the Dutch,
who have established a republic of their
own in South Africa, and are indus-
trious people who mind their own busi-
ness, are entitled to be let alone. The
English havebecn crowding in on them,
pushing back their boundary. line and
forcing them to relinquish land, that
they had fairly won; and now the Eng-
lish who have got in among them are
making trouble and threatening revolt,
and their government seems disposed
to back them 11?-
' It is just this kind of thing,observed all
over the world, that makes Americans

not unlikely that other European
powers may have something to say in
the matter. To Americans the trouble

it will not make this country any less

_|LLEGAL_llI_E_GISION. _
Justice Austin’s Action in the
I Hoyt-Guarnieri Case
Was of No Legal
. Force.
justices of the Peace leited in Juris-
diction.
In the case of Charles R. Hoyt vs.
Rose Guarnieri, Judge Curtis has given
his decision in the Court of Common
Pleas. The case is a Norwalk one and
is interesting, as the main question in-
volved was: Can a Justice of the Peace
give final decison in cases commenced
during his term of office, but made re-
turnablebefore him after the said term
had expired ‘2 Judge Curtis holds that
he cannot and in accordance with such
finding gives the following decision:
"This is an action scire facias. The
defendant was garnisheed in an action
begun by said Hoyt vs. William June
and when so garnishced, she was indebt-
ed to said June in the sum of $36.25.
In her answer the defendant denies that
any demand has ever been made upon
her for a valid execution ; and in sup-
port of her denial, specifically sets
forth thatA. E Austin, the magistrate
who rendered judgment in the said ac-
tion of Hoyt vs. June. was not, on
March 16, 1895, a Justice of the Peace
and had no authority to issue an exe-
cution as alleged in the complaint, or
in fact to render such judgment.
“Austin’s term of office expired
March 4, 1895. He was not re-elected.
The writ in the action-of said Hoyt vs,
June was dated and served Feb. 18, 1895.
It was made returnable before said
Austin on March 16, 1895. The origi-
nal writ was left with Austin before his
term of office eXpired. The plaintiff
claims that by virtue of Section 671 of
the General Statues of 1888, said Austin
had jurisdiction to hear such action and
to render final judgment and issue ex-
ecution therein. The defendant claims
that said section 971 did not give Austin
jurisdiction in said cause. And also
that if he had jurisdiction to render
judgment, he had no authority to issue
execution, and in support of that claim
cites chapter 37 of the law of-1889.
"I am of the opinion that Austin had
no jurisdictionin the said case of Hoyt
vs June on March 16, 1895, and that his
judgment and the execution are of no
effect.
“Section .671 of the General Statutes
is a provision of law, which first ap-
peared in chapter 14,015 the laws of 1851.
It then read as follows: “l‘hat when
ever any Justice of the Peace shall not
be reelected, all processes, suits and
matters whatsoever, which shall have
been begun by such Justice of the
Peace, or shall have been made return-
able to him before the expiration of his
office, may he proceeded with by said
Justice of the Peace to final judgment
and execution in the same manner as if
I lid Justice had been re—clected and
continued in office.”
“It seems as if the obvious purposes
of this act was to permit a Justice to do
new business up to the last day of his
term and to continue matters for final
action, after his term ended, if'desira-
ble. .If the Legislature had intended
to give Justices of the Peace power to
hear actions begun during their term,
but made returnable after it had ex—
pired, they would have clearly ex-
pressed such purpose. Under the above
obvions construction the statute reme-
died an evil. But there was no evil
requiring such a remedy as the forced
construction for which the plaintiff con-
tends. Justices were then, as now,
elected several months before the term
of the prior Justices expired. There
was no time when a writ could » not be
made returnable before some Justice
during the term for which he was
elected. The statute enacted in 1851
continued through the revisions of 1854.
and 1866. It received its present form
in the revision of 1875. The slight
change of language there used was
clearly not designed to change the
meaning, but was adopted for the sake
of brevity.
“Judgment for the defendant to re.
cover her costs.”
Hurlbutt & Gregory appeared for
Mrs. Guarnieri.
Watch Night Services.
There was a large attendance at the
midnight meeting in Grace church
Tuesday night. The exercises were of
I very interesting nature. Rector

~0fiicers Armed With? a Search I
‘ Warrant Visit a House,’ "
at Noroton. ‘
Considerable Liquor Found at the Place.
For some time past it has been
rumored that Mrs. Margaret Kelly was
,disposing of intoxicants at her home in
Noroton, contrary to the statutes made
and provided and of evil example, etc.
So notorious had the statements be-
come it was decided to raid the place.
\Early last :evening Constable Hunt
and Officer Valiant of this city drove
to Darien where they met Constable
Weed, and then repaired to the home
of Justice Wilmott where they secured
a search warrant and also a warrant for
the arrest of Margaret ‘Kelly, alleging
the illicit sale of intoxicants.
Armed with these necessary papers"
they drove to the house occupied by
Mrs. Kelly, 9. small building on a side
street just off from the turnpike at
Noroton, so called.
A well beaten pa* hway leads up to the
house which the officers followed, and
rapping at the door secured entrance
and made known the nature of their
errand. Mrs. Kelly was placed under
arrest. Some five or six men were
found in the house and there was evi-
dence that they had been drinking.
A search brought to light a barrel of
beer, three dBmleIJDS of whiskey, two
dcmijohus of older, a keg of wine and
a quantity of intoxicants in bottles.
Two of the demijohns were found be-
tween two bcdticks on a bedstead in
one of the sleeping rooms, as if a vain
attempt had been made to hide them
after the arrival of the officers.
Mrs. Kelly has no license for the sale
ofintoxicants, and it Is reported has
been arrested before, and as having an
unenviahle reputation.
Mrs. Kelly was released on bonds of
$200 furnished by P. Hanrahan, of
Stamford.

Mrs. Adams’ Funeral.
The funeral of Mrs. Maria L. Adams
was attended from her late home on
Plymouth avenue, Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. Dr. Noble officiating. A quar-
t tette composed of Charles A. Tucker,
A. W. Taylor, Mrs. L. D. Keeler and
Miss Ella Gregory, sang “Nearer My
God to'l‘hee,” “I would not live al-
ways” and “Shall we gather at the
River?” The interment was in the
family plot in Union cemetery.
Died at the Hospital.
Miss Mary Fagan was taken to the
hospital at Bridgeport last week Tues-
day. On Monday, the Selectmen were
notified that she must be taken from
there, and on Tuesday they made ar-
rangements for her transfer here.
While the carriage in which she was to
be brought to Norwalk was en route to
Bridgeport, word was received that she
had died. The remains were brought
here yesterday, and her funeral took
place to-day.
Delightful Delusions.
Prof. Reynolds tho mesmerist, who
opened a week’s engagement at the
Opera House, Monday night, continues
to draw large audiences. The per—
formances meet with much favor. The
Professor’s control over his subjects is
phenomenal and they are made to see
most surprising things, and commit
laughable antics.
Prof. Reynolds expects to have halfa
dozen ladies on the stage at the Opera
House to-night, upon whom he will
exert his mesmeric powers.
Dashed Gver a Ten Foot Wall.
Last night as Henry Keeler was driv-
ing into the lane leading to his barn on
Chapel street, the horse became fright-
ened and ran away. Despite Keeler’s
efforts to get the horse under control
he dashed on and over a ten foot wall
to the ground below and at the rear of
the hospital. Horse, wagon and driver
were thrown into a seemingly inextric-
able heap, The horse was first to re-
gain its feet and oddly enough escaped
injury. Keeler struck on his back and
was somewhat lamed but was able to be
at work this morning. The wagon and
harness were wrecked. That both man
and horse were not killed seems re-
markable. '

Station Agenda—idstead ofWil-
ton Bebbed'of $225
and Gold Watch.
A bold highway robbery was commit-
ted at Wilton a few minutes befores
o’clock last evening. The victim was
Reuben M.‘ Olmstead, the station agent
at that place, and also agent ‘of the
Adams Express company. The robbers
secured about $250 and Beuben’s gold
Watch.
Immediately after the 7:35 south-
bound train left Wilton, Station Agent
Olmstead locked up the station and
prepared to 'go - home for the night.
There is no safe at the station'and Olm-
stead has been in the habit of taking
home the day’s receipts, and the Adams
.Express Co.’s money in his pockets.
Last night as usual Olmstead rolled up
the railroad company’s money together
with that of the express company into
, a large roll containing about $250, the
greater part of which was the express
company’s money.
Olmstead had covered about half the
distance from the station to his home
and had reached alonely spot in the
road, when he was approached by two
men, one of whom knocked him down,
The fall stunned Olmstead and in his
semi-conscious condition he was unable
to defend himself. The robbers speed-
ily went through his pockets, taking
everything of value. They left Olm-
stead lying in the road and speedily
vanished in the direction 01 the rail-
road track.
When Olmstead regained his senses
he gave the alarm and at once tele-
graphed to Supt. Payne of the Danbury
division. Supt. Payne received the
notice at about 10 o’clock and immedi-
ately telephoned to the police at, this
city and South Norwalk. He could give
butameagre description of the rob-
bers,01mstead having had only time
to notice that the men were of stout
build, about five feet, eight inches in
height, and Wore moustaches. 'At the
time of the robbery the moon had not
risen and Olmstead Could ndt observe
the men very closely. - '
At 1:30 o’clock this morning the con-
ductor of the west bound Washington
express reported that two men who
answered the description of the two
robbers, had boarded his tram at South
Norwalk and were acting nervously.
A telephone“ message was sent to
Stamford to have the men held but the
train had left that city before the mes-
sage arrived and another was sent to
the Twenty-fourth precinct station,
which is near the Harlem River station,
asking that the men be arrested.

The Highwaymen Make Good Their Escape
l8 Handgun..-
George Brady Appears in Nor-
walk as Suddenly as He
‘Disappeared.
Has Been Absent About a Week.
George Brady, delivery clerk at Fin-
ney &: Benedicts, who suddenly left
town 4!. week 'ago last Monday,‘ sur-
prised his friends by returning home
on Tuesday evening in as mysterious a
manner as he had disappeared.
He tells Mr. Finney that on the after-
noon he left the store and when in'front
of the residence of Frank Hyatt be ex-
perienced a sort of dizzy feeling, and
something seemed to draw him down
the avenue and up and over the turnpike.
He remembers having passed the Ar-
mory but is unable to account for his
actions thereafter until on Friday he
found himself knocking at the door of
a farm house about seven miles from
White Plains. He was hungry and
asked for something to eat.
He was invited into the house and ex-
plained where he belonged as best he
could and was invited to stay all night.
He assisted about the place until Mon-
day, when the farmer took him to the
railroal station and paid his fare part
way to Norwalk, and the rest of the
distance be walked.
This story, however, does not c3iucide
with one he has told to another party
to whom he said: “I wanted a vacation
Iand not thinking that the bosses would
give it tome I went off on my own
hook and visited Crotou Falls. When
I got ready I came back.”
There are those who incline to the
belief that he has been in Norwalk a
greater part of the time, and that he
and the young man wh ) has been
prowling about the fields near Peat
Swamp,are identical.

POLICE FIGHT SOLDIERS.
The Latter Finally Surrender After a
Bloody Melee in Bridgeport.
A bat 1e, between police and soldiers,
occurred in Sadlcr’s hall, Bridgeport,
Tuesday night in which about thirty
men were seriously injured. The sold-
iers were finally defeated, and twenty
were locked up, four in a cell.
Thousands of factory hands danced the
old year out and the new in. Owing to
the moral wave which is still lnundatlng
this town, warrants were issued for the
seizure of beer in the dancing halls.
A raiding party went to Sadlor’s hall In
Willard street. Here the Kosciusko
guards, a military organization, were
holding high carnival. 7
The sheriff and his assistants entered
all right, but when they attempted to
seize kegs of beer the soldiers drew their
sabers and drove the officers from the ball.
A tea-enforcement of 15 policemen was
called, and Hackett led the charge. All
the doors and windows were locked and
bolted. \Empty kegs were left outside, and
with these the police battered in the main
door. A woman jumped at Hackett like
a tlgress. She hit and scratched his face
frightfully. .
The police charged, and the guards beat
them back with the sabers. The police
were out and slashed. Their faces are
hardly recognizable. Their bats were do-
molished, their buttons and shields Were
stripped off, and seVeral of them are seri-
ously injured.
Officer Fisher has a broken shoulder.
Hackett’s arm is broken.
The captain of the guards, a tall, flne'
featured fellow. is hardly recognizable
from the bumps and cuts on his fate from
the pollccmen’s clubs. Every one of the
20 bears marks of the melee. They we're
sputtered with blood. and their uniforms
were in shreds. During the fight many fell
down in a tangled up mass of bright unl-
fcrms and blue and brass. There is no
telling how the fight wbuld have ended if
it had not been for the women.
Many of them acted like furles. They
jumped on the police and scratched their
faces and tore their hair out by handfuls.
Others kept on dancing without paying
the slightest attention to the fierce fight.
The soldiers drew off toward the dancers,
and then the cooler head's recommended a.
surrender.
The prisoners whose names are known
are: Soloskl, John Policker, Max Frahoe,
Martin Betcher, Felix Paluskl, George
Smith, Frank Birke, Peter Knobloch,
John Will, Julius Suckley, Marlon Fruskl,
John Horoskl, Joseph Kobloskl, Michael

nolski and William Pundellch.
After this fight five other.halls Were
visited and nearly 200 kegs of beer seized. M

The first day of January 1806, so far
as Norwalk was concerned, was ob-
served in a quiet. manrfcr. Nearly all
of the manufa'ctories were closed, as
were all of the dry goods stores. Other
=stores were kept open but half a day;
and in theafternoon the streets were
as deserted as on a Sunday.
The day was chilly but by no means
unpleasant. although at intervals the
sun was obscured by clouds that seemed
to be freighlcd with snow, none of
which, however, was unloaded at this
station. . -
The usual number of drunks were
conspicuous by reason of their absence.
Neither was there any fighting or brawls
of any kin-.1. Everybody seems-.1 to
feel good naturevl towards themselves
and everybody else.

Phoenix Engine company entertained
its members, their wives and children,
at their headquarters, yesterday after-
noon. 'I‘he~app.1ratus room was ele‘
gantly embellished with festoons of
Christmas greens, wreaths, fl-igs, etc.
“A Happy New Year—1806,” greeted
the eye on entering the door and the
entire appearance of the room was one
of beauty. A table was laid the entire
length of the room, upon which were
covers for seventy-five guests. Tic
table was prettily ornamented with
flowers and happy conceim in rich
golden butter, not the least of which
was a miniature steam fire engine which
rested in front of Chief Pro avitt’s plate
at the head of the table. Seventy-five
guests sit down to the “first” table,
followed by sixty at the “second.”
'l‘hirty-four-children were also provided
for at the tables. One hundred pounds
of turkey, two or three dozen chickens,
meats of all kinds, salads, etc, etc.,
were provided in abundance. After the
dinner the guests were happily enter-
ultil 8 o’clock. At 8:30 an adjourn-
ment was taken to the Athenaaim
where dancing was enj wed until 2
o’clock this morning. The Phoenix
boys added another rung 1n the ladder
of fame which they have constructed as
the ‘ boss entertainers.”
Fssr TBOTIING.
Yesterday E. J. Wadhams and Wil-
liam E. D Hill got into an argument as
to which owned the fastest horse.
Wadhams finally offered t) wager a
quarter of beef against a horse blanket
of equal value, that his was the faster
trotter. The wager was accepted, the
race to be one-half mile heats, each to
drive his own horse. Accompanied by
a number of friends they drove to East
avenue, where Mr. Dann succeeded in
winning three straight heats and the
beef. .
This race was followed by one be-
tween B.‘ McGoveru‘s and H. E. Wood-
hull’s horses, in which, both claimed
the mod, and their claims were not
disputed. An unbiased opinion, how.
ever, awards the race to Mr. Woodhull.
