Serving Notlce on the'Party.
' If the DemocratlclParty loses in the
coming campaigns vote and influence
of almost vital 'couquence, it will be
through no fault of Hon. Isidor Straus,
Representative in the Fifty-third Con-

,, gress from the Fifteenth New York Dis-,

trier. Mr. Straus has, temporarily at
least, put aside the almost impregnable
reserve which was his distinguishing
feature as a Congressman and had told
the Democracy exactly what kind of
doom they may look for in ease his
wishes are disregarded. It sounds se-

vere, but Mr. Straus is one of thosoImen‘

who are ci'uel sometimes in order in be
kind. Here is what he says:

“I don’t care where the National
Democratic Convection is held, the
party must come out in an unqualified
declaration for scurid money. If it- does
not, then for one, I expect to vote the
Republican ticket, unless it too, should
be doubtful on this vital point. If both
platforms trifle or}, 7.111.111. lie with the
currency question, I may not Vote at
1113.11. would be just is sensible under
such conditiOns to vote with the Popu-
list Party.”

Democrats cannot hereafter complain
it, through their own perverse folly and
obstinacy, they lose the battle of No.
vemher. They know how and on what
terms they can have Straus. ' They
know the consequences of not having
him.

British Prospects for Cuba.

At- last there is some prospect of ac-

tion of Congress in the direct-jog of a

, recognition‘of the quban patriots as

A belligerents. There is no more reason
for this now than there was ten months
li’ago. The people of the United States
were then keenly alive to the necessity
for such action. But Congress, appar-
ently, has only just now had its sym.

pathy and its love of liberty stirred.

The Precedent has. been timid. Con-
gress has been lethargic and indifferent.
If the United States acted on this mat-
ter at the outset as she is now likely to
do, Cuba would have been a free repub-
lic for more than a quarter of a cen-
tury. The Government has never re-
flected the opinions of the people in
this matter. It has persistently stood
-~in the way of Cuban independence.
But nowthat the Senate sub-committee
is about'to repert favorably to the gen.
oral committee, the wheels of . the na-
tional circumlocution office have been
set in motion, and the patient patriots
may look for a; consummaticu of their

hopes.

A Shorter Campaign Assured.

The seventh of July has been chosen
as the date for the National Democratic
' Convention to be held this year. This
insures a shorter campaign than it was
feared would result from the decision
of the Republican committee to hold
the convention of that party June 16,
in view of the tradition by virtue of
which the administration party holds
the earlier convention of the two. It is
a pityI that While the Democrats were
breaking the custon they did not make
a material reduction of the campaign
l by choosing a late date in July instead
of such an early 6119, but it was evident

'ly considered poor politics to allow
much more than a fortnight to elapse .

after the naming of a Republican can-
'didate befow placing his Democratic
opponent in the field. 'At all events the

custom that has so often operated to

lengthen the campaign has been broken, '

:_ MRE ABOUT MEASLES

 

Dr Gregory Presents His side ofthe Case.

.———D

A ' Editor of GAZETTE: -—

In your issue of the 20th inst, there
appears a clipping from one of the city
papers, making reference to what was
only a conversation, not a“conferencc,”
and one not intended for publication.
Taking this for a text, you seem to re-
flect —— indirectly perhaps —— upon the

acceptance as unworthy of credence.
While no one appreciates more thor-

- 2, oughly than do I, the untirlng efi‘orts

of the health officer. to stamp out di-
sease, nor more thoroughly recognizes
the efficiency and conscientious work,
which he brings to that office; yet there
may be an honest difference of opinion
as to the extent to which a quarantine
must be forced during the prevalence
of measles. So high an authority as J.
Lewis Smith, writing not as a theorist,
but from the standpoint of a practical
experience of years, says. “The com-

in all cases direct from the patient.
The specific germs, unlike that of
scarlet fever and diphtheria, but. like
that of pertussis, does not adhere to
objects handl ed by the patient or in his
immediate vicinity; nor does it adhere
to the clothes, bedding, furniture or
walls of the apartment occupied by the
patient. Some instances have been re-
lated in which it was stated that it was
communicated by a third person, but it
seems probable from the nature of the
disease that these observations were
fallaci'ous and perhaps a. mistake was
made in the diagnosis.” In Germany,
no less an authority than Thoresen as.
sertsfthat ”tramportation by a healthy
person rarely, takes place, since the
contagion does not readily adhere to
the clothes, it being very different in
that respect from'that of scarlet fever.”

I will not cite numerous other an-
thorities—my own experience agrees
with theirs. , I have good ground for
the opinion which 1 hold though it dif-
fers in some essentials from that of Dr.
Tracy.

and'prior to the establishment of quar-
antine, there have frequently been
sporadic cases, as well as epidemics of
measles, the last epidemic occurring in
1890, when, commencing with a single
case in February, it spread through the
town reaching its height in April and
disappearing in J one The history and
occurrence of the disease has been in-
structive. At times when everything
seemed ready for its prevalence, it has
suddenly blazed up, and, without a
quarantine has as suddenly died out;
again, it has led upon the entire town
in spite of all attempts to stay its
progress.

As pertinent to the subject, I recall
from my own experience, two cases out
of many more. A family which had
been visiting in New York, returned to
Norwalk, and within a few days after,
a child was taken sick with the measles.
The other children were immediately
removed from school and kept strictly
at home. The parents and adults were
permitted to go at large. There were
three cases—children—in this family.
No other case of measles existed in
Norwalk at that time, nor were any
reported until some months later.

Agentleman contracted the disease
while on a visit, returning home just as
it manifested itself. He was at. once
confined to his house—adults allowed
to come and go—“children not admit~
ted.” Though living in a thickly settled
portion of the town, and resuming his
business relations speedily, the disease
was limited to this case only. Such
instances as these may not be absolute

argument in favor of limited quaran-
tine.

The public schools are great hot beds
and breeders of these, epidemics. In
Cardifi‘, in the Autumn of 1888, every
effort to stamp out the epidemics was
unveiling until the schools were closed
for four weeks. The number of cases
at once diminished,and only four cases
appeared among twenty thousand
scholars after the schools were opened.

While I believe that measles 1s emi-
nently contagious, I also believe that a
personal contact is absolutely neces-
sary for its propagation; that every case
should be isolated as far as possible and
that every reasonable precaution should
be taken to prevent its spread; yet I do
not believe that public good demands
the shutting up of the entire household
and compelling bread winners to stay
at home in an enforced idleness, or" to
seek elsewhere an abode.

'I agree with Dr. Lindsley that the

THE TOWN MEETING

The Back Bounty ePetition Ema
bodying Certain Restricé
Itions, Passed.

MANY WAR VIETS‘, PRESENT.
Town Officials l-‘lxed'.

The Town House was crowded when
at wo o’clock, Town Clerk' Smith
called the annual town meeeting to or—
der, yesterday afternoon. The room
was uncomfortably cold.

Ex-mayor James 'I‘. Hubbell presid-

ed.
The first'matter in the call was:

To authorize the payment of the amount
of any bounty claims due soldiers. credited to
the Town of Norwalk. who participated in the
late war of the Rebellion. for which claims the
Town is liable under the provisions of Chap.
CGCXVIII, of this Public Acts of Connecticut
of 1895; to make the necessary appropriation
for the payment of the same, and to instruct
the Selectmen of said Town to borrow. if
necessary. a. sum of money suflicent for that
purpose, and to pay over to the person or per-
sons duly authorized to receipt therefor. any
sum or sums of money that may be due said
soldiers.

Attorney J osenh A. Gray ofl'ered the
following resolution ; with the names
appended:

RESOLVED. That the Selectmen of the Town
of Norwalk be and they are hereby authorized
and instructed to pay, under the call of this
meeting. the amount of any bounty hereto-

Iwithout suit, which has never __.bcen paid, if.

their claims or any of them are 1' alid and en-'
forceable under the provisions of Chapter
CCCXVIII. of the public acts of 1895; and after
said parties claims are fully paid, 01' receipts
for the same are shown, to pay any other like
claims that may be presented. The Selectmen
shall produce to any person or his representa-
tive making claim under said Chapter of the
Public Acts, any receipt, release or voucher
of the town. upon demand; and the Selectmen
may, at their discretion, publish once. the
names, dates and amounts of any such receipts
of persons making a claim against the Town

.of Nor Walk for bounties.

The sum of twenty thousand dollars or any
further sum is hereby appropriated from any
monies in the Town Treasury. or so much
thereof as is necessary to pay said unpaid
bounty claims, or if there is not sufficient
funds in the Town Treasury, then the'Sele'Ict:
men are instructed to borrow, on the credit of
the town. necessary funds to pay the said
bounty claims under this'votc.

Selectman Selleck immediately rose -

to his feet, and said, that it would make
no difference what the result of the vote
was, for if the claimants were entitled
to the money it would be paid to them,
and if not they would not receive it.

Mr. Gray said that,.under the act of
the legislature of 1895, claimants may
bring action against the town to re-
cover their claims. The point, he said,
which he wished to make was, that in
case suit was brought, the selectmen
would be“ called upon to defend the
same. The resolution was simply that
just claims be paid without the neces-
sity of a suit. He said that he had been
given to understand that the'selectmen
held receipts against some of the claim-
ants, which they refused to show. He
did not think such refusal just to the
old soldiers, who wanted to act in a
business like manner. If the amount
was not justly due they did not want it.

Mr. Selleck explained that the’iwhole
matter would be placed in‘ the hands of
the town attorney. If a soldier can
bring satisfactory evidence that he had
not’been paid he would get whatever
was due him, but the town did not pro-
pose paying them two or three times
over. \ ,

This brought Caleb Wood, a one-
armed veteran, to his feet who said, I
don’t like the slur that old soldiers
want to, be paid two or three times over.
This claim was for a bounty voted in
1862. He did not, think any soldier
would get down so low as to ask for
what was not due him.

Mr. Selleck explained that he had no
intent of casting a slur on any soldier.

Charles F. Hallock said that the
claims were due for bounties offered in
1861—’62 and ’63. I and others never re}
oeived the bounty. He said that at the
time the bounty was voted 11 certain
“public spirited ” man caused an in-’
junction to be placed on the payment of.
the same. I have a right to the 3100

.he added, and I don’ I. believe the town

will refuse the payment of the same.
Prevmiis board5 hadnaddl’ed it ofl‘ on
the' incoming bbards Aunttempt was
made at the time a previous bounty was
paid, to get the old soldiers to sign off

all claims, but in most instances it
' failed to work.

Itho courts and it would be ordered
,puid.

B. W. Maples thought the resolution
a fair one. If the claims were proven,
asjthey must be, they ought to bepaid,
and he moved the passage cf the reed;
lution, which was, then unanimously
adopted.- .

The next business before the meeting
was

To hear the annual report; to lay the 'an-
nual State and Town taxes; to make the an
nual appropriation for the support of the

- schools. to make the annual appropriation for

The Salaries of the Selectmen and Other ‘
' the order named- -Mr.

the care of theJii‘ghwa‘ys,

The several objects were taken up in
Maples offered
the following resolution after it was
voted to do aivay with the reading of
the annual report:

RESOLVED. That the Selectmen be. and they
are here'byauthorizedand directed to abandon‘
the annual report in the form heretofore,
made, and to establish a. new form for said
report, in which shall appear against the
name of each individual. firm, corporation.
or municipahty, the' total of the money paid
to each. and for what the same was paid, and
shall include a full and complete statement of
the indebtedness of the town.

He said that it would be advisable to
abandon the 9111 term“ of keeping the
town books and establish a new one,
with full and itemized reports of the
expenditures in the several town de-
partments. '

Gen. Charles Olmstead was also in
favor of the abandoment of the old
form of keeping the books, as they,
under that system, contained little or
no information. _ ‘ ,

Selectman Selleck explained that a
new system Iliad been adopted Which,
he thought, covered what the resolution
called for.

_Attorney Henneckcr was in favor of
the resolution with the elimination of
the names of those persons who receive
aid from the town.

After some further discussion the
resolution was adopted.

Attorney Gray made 11 motion that.
the annual report be accepted, but Mr.
Maples said that-a report that leaves
unmentioned aldeficit of anywhere from
$10,000 to$12,0000ug11t not to be ac-
cepted, and if accepted would release
the old board from all legal obligations
that might arise in the future. The re .
port was thereforerejected.

The report of Town Treasurer Wil—
liam A. Curtis was unanimously ac
cepted.

selectmen Selleck stated that the
grand list footed up about 313, 000, 000.
He thOught that a five mill tax would
meet all 'of the requirements of the
toWn for the coming year. _ He said
that ”a number of bills which had been
outstanding for the years had been
paid. A five mill tax would cover the
needs unless some unlocked for expense
should come along.

In answer to a question he replied
that the present indebtedness of the
t0wn Was about $350,000 an increase
of $50,000 within the last two years.

A tax of five mills was then laid.

The sum of $42,880 was appropriated
for. the public schools, of which amount
$1,000 was for tth'evening school.

Onmotirm of General Olmstead the
usual number of School Visitors report
was ordered printed under the direction
of the Selectmen.

Burr Smith made a motion that the
sum of $5,000 be appropriated for, the
highways. - After some discussion the
motion was amended to read 37,000 and
was then passed.

The town tax was made payable on
September 1.

The next business was

To authorize the Town Cleik to cause to
be copied ’the first book of the Town Proceed-
ings and to make an appropriation therefore.

The Clerk explained that there would
be money enough left from the amount
appropriated for indexing the town
records, and he was instructed to have
the work done.

There was considerable discussion
over the following matter:

To authorize the Selectmen to cause to

be constructed a continuation of the stone
road on the Connecticut Turnpike. as provided

‘ by Chap. CCXV of the Public Acts of the

State, of 1895. and to make the necessary aip-'
propriation therefor.

Charles F. Hallock presented the fol-
lowing rcsolution, which was passed:

RESOLVED. That the: Selectmen be author-
ized and directed to improve. according to
the provisions of Chapter CCCXV. of the
Public Acts of. the State of Connecticut.
passed at. the January session of the General
Assembly, in the year 1895, entitled “An Act
to Provide for the Improvement of the Pub.
lic Roads."a certain highway known as the
Connecticut Turnpike, beginning at the city
line of the city of South Norwalk. about 140
feet west of Taylor Avenue. and extending
easterly as far as can be done with the sum of
money appropriated. Therefore.

REsonv ED, That there be appr opriatcd from
the town treasury for said improviament the
sum of $3,003 or so much thereof as may be
necessary in order to secure the fullest return
from the state and ecunty under the provis-
ions of said act. .

The last business before the meeting
was , '

To determine and fix the salaries of all
Town officers whose salaries are not fixed by
the Statute laws of the State.

.Mr. Maples presented a resolution
fixing the salary of the first selectman
at 81, 500; and the second and‘third se-
lectmen at $1, 000 each.

Gen. Olmstead inquired what the
present science of the selectmen were
but did not succeed in eliciting the dev
sired information.- ‘

Attorney Walsh said that he had
searched the town records for the de-
sired informatiOn, but had failed in
getting any satisfaction. The searich
eovared a period of twenty years. He
found. however, that the salaries in

51872 were $600 each, 'and 1832, $1, 000

and 8100 each for the other. two. .;_. ; - . . '

 

They could now go to

Gen. Olmstead said that he, too, had 1

other" two.
‘Eelectmen have fixed their_Iown salaries,

been searching the records and found
the salaries in 1877 at $1, 000; id 1878 at
8600:1879 at'$1,000;--I1882/ at $1,000 for
first selectman and 8100 *each for the
Evidently, he said, the

but the amounts do not appear. _
Selectman Selleck said-that ’he did
not want the office for the amount of

. salary attached to it, but had'taken it

for the purpose of breaking up the
ring that was conducting the town af-
fairs, and expressed himself as believ-
ing that the taxpayers Would find some
time that he had pretty thoroughly ao-
com‘plished what he set out to do.

, PlattPrice said that he was a mem-
ber of the board some years ago and
that at that time the’three members re-
ceived $1, 000 altogether.

It was- stated that the resolution
wouldnot become operative during the
term of the present board.

A. H. Camp moved that the matter
be indefinitely postponed. ,

Mr. Maples said that would leave the
question unsettled for another year. ,

Selectman Selleck illustrated the
situation by asking if there was a busi.
ness man present who would engage
clerks and let'them fix their own salaries
and pay themselves what they thought
best.

Mr. John Malone was of the opinion
that the matter might just as well be
settled now as well as one year from
now.

Attorney Gray offered- an amendment
to the original motion, by fixing the
salary of the first selectmen at $1,200
per year, and that of the other two at
8900 each, the same to apply in refer-
ence to the salary of the present board.
The amendment was accepted and the
resolution prevailed.

The salary of the board of assessors
was fixed at $150 each, and that of the
board of relief at $50 each.

The meeting then adjourned.

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.

Took Place on Wall Street and but Little'
Damage Done.

There was a lively runaway on Wall
street betweenrfive and six o'clock yes-
terday afternoon. It was a double.
team hitched to a lumber box wagon
and owned by the Meeker Foundry
company. The driver, Henry Simp-
son, had just stepped off the wagon
when the horses became frightened and
bolted down Wall street and across the'
bridge at a break-neck pace‘, threaten-
ing to collide with several-teams on the
street.

Without striking anything the team
continued on until in front- of the Quin-
tard building where the wagon collid-
ed with a peddling wagon owned by
Johnson & Robbins ,of Wethersfield.
The runaways then swerved around
and stuck a pole in front of J. D‘. Jen-
nings’ undertaking establishment
whcre one of them fell and the run-
aways were stopped.

Remarkably enough, little damage
Was done, the same being confined to a
broken hub on one of the wheels, and
slight damage to the harness of the
Johnson & Robbins turnout, and the
laming of the gray horse of the Meeker
team. '

A large crowd followed up the runa-
ways expecting to find several vehicles
wrecked and people more or less injured.
The driver of the team was quickly at
the scene, and but little time was lost
in hitching up the runaways, gathering
the scattered contents and driving the
turnout to the stables.

Deserved Reward.

It is authoritatively stated that the
late James McCarthy, who died at the
home of Thomas McIlhoney, ’recently,
left the latter all of his interest in his
house on Cross street and also an in-
surance policy amounting to a few hun-
dred dollars. This, it is understood,
was by reason of. a contract between the
two parties in interest that. Mr. McIl-
honey should care for Mr. McCarthy,
who was in poor health, for the bal-
ance of his life, be it months or years.
Mr. McIihoney and his wife cared for
McCarthy faithfully during his illness,
and it is believed are fully entitled to
their reward.
