The Town Meeting.
The “special” town meeting yester-
day afternoon, to rescind the vote of a
former meeting directing the selectmen
to continue the telford road within the
city limits of South Norwalk, resulted
in not only saddling some $25 useless
expense upon the town, but left the
matter in exactly the same position as
it was before the “special“ meeting
was called.
While the former vote was not res--
cinded, much to the gratification of all
good citizens in favor of treating our sis-
ter city fairly, tax-payers were plain-
ly informed that they had no say in
conducting the affairs of the town much
less two of the selectmen elected by
them to assist in carrying out their will.
In other words, notice was squarely
given that N orwalk’s town affairs are to
be run something after the school boy
‘ plan, “if you don’t do as I say, you
can’t play.”
“Gan such things be,
And overcome us like a summer’s cloud,
Without our special wonder.”

Despite the stormy weather a large
crowd congregated at the store at the
hour named. Samuel Watts was

After a lengthy discussion of the case
the following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously passed:

.Iudge George H. Cowell of Waterbury-Re- ‘
senls an Insult.
There was an exciting scene in the
Waterbury city court yesterday morn-
ing in which Judge George H. Cowell
and Michael D. Russell,a saloon keeper,
figured. Russell’s place was raided
Sunday and the proprietor and seven
men were arrested. Yesterday morn-
ing the customers found in the place
paid $7 each. Russell was placed on
trial charged with keeping open saloon
on Sunday. His counsel entered a de-
murrer which was overruled and a sen-
tence of $75 and costs and three months
in jail imposed.
After the case had been disposed of
Judge Colwell left the bench and went
to an ante-room. He was soon fol—
IOWed by Russell, who was in a very in-
dignant frame of mind over the heavy
sentence. On reaching the judge, Rus-
sell said with a sneer: “It’s a pity you
can’t hang a man. rI‘liere is no such a
thing as justice in the city court.”
Judge Cowell, instead of fining the
man for contempt, turned suddenly and
grabbing him by the neck, lifted him
from the floor and carrying him across
the room threw him into «the lobby of
the City hall. Then advising Russell
to keep his mouth shut in the future,
he withdrew. '
