Capt. Ike Still “Agin It.” .

'In a purported interview Selectman
SSelleck professes an.earnest desire to
..go ahead and build the additional sec-
‘tion of Telford road in the place and
amanner that he has three times been
ordered by the citizens of Norwalk to
do it, but says he cannot obey the
orders of the people. whose servant he
'is, because in doing so, he would be
"“breaking the law.”

The law, as interpreted .by Attorney
‘Warner, he cannot and will not break.
.His conscience won’t permit it.

In this connection, would it. not. be
"both wise and politic, for “Capt. Ike”
frto consult some other eminent attorney
to: attorneys, whose legal acquirements
rand standing may be as high or higher,
‘Shan our town counsel?

If none are to be found to suit him in
'Norwalk, there are Fessenden and
HOlmstead of Stamford,Judges Brew-
--:ster and Scott 6f Danbury-; a host of,
weminent legal lights in Bridgeport,
New Haven and Hartford (or even bet-
ter than all, why not our-own Judge
.‘Asa B. Woodward?), any one or all of
whom would no doubt be able to so in.

..terpret the law as to relieVe Capt. Ike
ffrcm. the terrible strain and wrenching
, of Willvfifld conscience he is now sufier-

‘ ing in his intense desire to let the road

r be built, and which the cold, cruel law,
, as interpreted .by Attorney Warner
3f01' esaida‘OL‘brprevents his doing!
-Anxinsfid ’ent, which should be encour-
'“ aging and comforting to Capt. Ike, is
reported as h‘é‘iving transpired only last
week in the Supreme Court of the
United States at Washington. An at-
?torney in pleading his case before that
august tribunal quoted the opinion of
,an eminent jurist, as he stated it to be,
issued Justice Field promptly interrup-
‘ted to ask who could have uttered an
opinion so utterly devoid of both good
sense and law. The blushing attorney
with face flushing scarlet, stammered
out that the opinion he had just read in
the Court’s hearing had been delivered
:in California some twenty years ago,
day his honor Justice Field.

"It-is reported of the late acute Ben-
jamin E. Butler, who when confronted
7for having given two diametrically op-
xposite legal opinions in an important
«case,~-replied, “why my first opinion was
' given months ago, and Iv’e learned lots
.sinee then.” i

' “Hard indeed mdst be the heart, and
devoid of every drop of the milk of hu-‘
<man-kindness, must be that man who
«doesnot sincerely pity Captain Ike’s
«distressing position! His burning de-
sireoo build that road, is so intense that
it issuining and consuming his nervous
:systemflobbing his days of jolity and
: all his nights of rest, because an unre-
r-relenting town’s attorney holds him in
theoruel. torturing and inexorable vise

NEW .MAP'nfl-Continued‘. 7

right on Wall street, an illustration of
What Main street will be if a double
track is allowed to be laid upon it.
Saw the other day what I consider to
be the best managed street railway line
in the country and trailers were success-
fully run on it,too. Two cars, one open
and one closed were run and you could
take your choice. Two cars would he
thought amply provide for the so called
rush on the Winnipauk branch at night
and morning.

He remarked that it seemed to be the
forte of some professional men to ridi-
cule the laymen if their ideas did not
happen to be in accord with their own.
The attorney for the Street Railway
company had at the previous meeting
acted in this line when he asserted that
the remonstrants did not know-what
they had signed when they presented a
petition against the granting of the
prayer of the Street Railway company
and he was glad that Dr. Gregory, who
happened to be in the lobby with the
“laymen” at the time, resented the in-
sinuating remark by I". questing that he
be given an opportunity to sign the re-
monstrance and expressed himself as
being firmly against double tracking
the street. V

Mr. Donovan then complimented the
Council on being an intelligent body of
men, and thought it was needless for
him to say anything further. He added,
however, that he believed the City of
Norwalk to be one of the best corpora-
tions in the state. “ You excel,” he
remarked, “our city of South N orwalk
in every department.” We once thought
that we had the best in the country,
but it was not, he was sorry to say,
true at the present time. The Count i1
will, I think, treat this matter as they
have done other matters of importance,
with the best judgment and for the
interest of the city. People who are
successful in their own business affairs,

he remarked, are liable to exercise care
and good judgment in administering
the affairs of a city.

President Hill of the Street Railway
said, I know that trailers are largely
used on some roads, but they were
dangerous. On the Street Railway
line the traffic required usually frequent
stops, adding to the danger if trailers
were used, and the use of them would
cause a material reduction in the run-
ning time of the cars. His company
was doing all in its power to minimize
the chance of accidents.

John H. Light: Did not believe that
the tracks asked for were a necessity.
Those Who had remonstrated had rights
and they ought to' be considered in the
matter.

After some further talk on the mat-
ter a “surprise” was suddenly sprung
on those present by Mr. Hill who said
that in view of the fact that there was
such a feeling against the granting of
the prayer of the petitioners, he desired
to present a new map embodying a
modification of the original petition,
inasmuch as it called for the double-
tracking of Main street only to a point
a short distance below Hoyt street, and
in front of the J. T. Prowitt company
store, at which point the street was
about 47 feet in width.

Daniel Honnecker then asked as to
the Width of Main street in front of J.
Belden-Hurlbutt’s house, and was in-
formed that it was about 30 feet. He
then wished to know if that would pera
mit of a legal width of the street on
either side of the tracks.

It was shown that the required space
necessary to make it legal could be so-
cured.

The hearing then closed.

The Case of George W. Stevens vs. The
Tramway Company on Trial to-day.

 

- The suit of Gerge W. Stevens to re-
cover $5,000 damages from the Norwalk
Tramway company, for the death of
Oliver R. Mumford which occurred at
Rowayton, Thursday evening, October
17th, while he was riding on one of the
company’s cars, is on trial before Judge
Hall in the Superior Court, to-day.

The witnesses examined up to noon
were ex Conductor Smith, ex-Motor-
man Paxton and William F. Beers, and
they testified to the correctness of their
confessions in reference to the accident
as made to Coroner Doten and also ad-
mitted that a person named Mott was
on the car at the time, which they had
previously denied. J. J. Walsh appears
for the plaintiff and DeForest & Klein
far the defendant company.

The little daughter of Mr. Fred VVebber
Holland, .Mass., had a. very bad cold and
cough which he had not been able to cure
with anything. I gave him a 25 cent bottle
of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says W. P.
Holden, merchant and postmaster at West
Brimfield, and the next time I saw him he
said it worked like a. charm. This remedy
is intended especially for acute throat and
lung diseases such as colds, croup and
whooping cough, and it is famous for its
cures. There is no ,danger in giving it to
children for it contains nothing injurious.

The .Board of Health CallAttention to lm-
portant Sanitary Matters.

 

Au. adjourned meeting of. the City
Council was held last evening, the only
member of - the board absent being
Councilman Smith.

The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved!

Messrs. Dr. W. J. Tracey and W. A.
Yoge', of the Board of Health, were
present, the former of .whom said that
the board had lone; or two important
matters'which they Wished to present
for the constderation of the Council.

He said that the board considered it
advisable to have a house tthouse sani'
tary inspection made, the same- as was
done last year, with this difference——
after the inspection had been made
and the nuisances ordered abated, that
a re-inspection be made in order to find

nuisances had been complied With.

> Another question which he Wished to
introduce, and one that could not be
ignored was in reference to the disposal
of garbage etc. He had received com-
plaints that garbage etc. Was being
dumped in different parts of the town

task'they had asked him to designate a
place Where they should dumpit, which
he could not do. He said he thought
that the city ought to provide a dump-
ing ground. and see that no other place
was used for that purpose.

The Council instructed the board of
health to order sanitary inspections and
to appoint an inspector for that purpose.

The matter of providing a suitable
garbage dumping ground was referred
to the board of health for further con-
sideration.

William Wardwell was granted per-
mission to build an addition to his barn
on High street, after which the meet-
ing adjourned.

.—. ARMOR IN MODERN USE.

English Officers in Foreign Service to Pro-
' ', tect Themselves.

' In discussing the modern use of
armor by officers and men in the for-
eign “little wars” of to-day, an English
accoutrement maker, as reported by
London Tid—Bits, says: “I give you my
assurance that an immense number of
the officers of our army and navy who
go on foreign service, especially when
one of our ‘little wars’ is expected, pro-
vide themselves with certain easily
recognized protections.

“These, mind you, are well-known
articles of trade to the service. The
commonest and most usual type of these
protections consists of fine but beauti-
fully tempered single chains, inclosed in
in soft leather, which run along the
shoulders. down the outer side of the

, arms and over certain parts of the

body. These can either be sewn into a.
particular tunic or they can be adjusted
separately and put on like harness.
The most valuable of all chains, in con-
nection with accoutrements, are those
which guard the head, and in cases
‘where the regulation cap or helmet is
not sufficrently protected in this way,
specially made chains are sewn inside
the same and covered by the lining.”

 

 

g?“ “ American Extravagance. ,
It is no wonder that foreigners scoff

one hears of such a piece of extrava-
gance as is here related: Lady Beres-
ford, formerly the duchess of Marlbor-
ough, who was born here in the United
States and who married a rich New
'Yorker, who afterward died, has just
returned from a trip with her husband,
Lord Beresford. They traVeled away

sand dollars forafishing stream and
caught two fish.

~ TURNING THE TABLES.

The Unfortunate Lawyerr and His Client,
the Nurse. . ~

The extent to which lawyers can ex-
ercise their imagination when pleading
in behalf of their clients is almost be-
yond belief; but sometimes the tables
are turned in‘ a. very unexpected fash-
1021.

On one occasion, says the Florida.
Times-Union, Mr. Swan was engaged
in presenting the case of a. woman who
petitioned the court to grant her a,
judicial separation from her husband,
a, workingman, and urged that as she
was in extreme poverty she was en-

titled to alimony according to her hus- '

band’s means. -

VVith‘a voice broken in its pathos th
lawyer dilated on the imperative neces—
sity of the case, declaring that his
client was utterly destitute, not having
a mattress to lie upon, and not possess-
ing the means to purchase a. crust of
bread. _ » ‘ .

When the evidence had been heard
the judge, who well knew the counsel’s
unlimited powers of. exaggeration,
turned to the appellant and addressed
to her a few questions. ' .

“Have you, then, no occupation?” -

“Yes, my lord; I am a. nurse,” was
the incautious reply.

“And where are you employed?”

“I am at Mr. Swan’s,” she unwitting-
ly rejoined, pointing to her counsel.

It was with the greatest difficulty
that the judge refrained from joining
in the shout of laughter with- which
this admission was hailed.

 

Oddities of Marriage.

Half the weddings in the country are
celebrated on Wednesday and Thurs~
day. Saturday has more than the aver-
age number. Friday is‘ not a favorite,
as few marriages are celebrated on
that day. Widowcrs are more inclined
to marry than bachelors, and widows.
more inclined than spinsters. Both.
facts are eloquently in favor of the-
comparative advantage of matrimony.
For one bachelor that marries between
the ages of fifty and fifty-five seven
widowers remerry between these ages-
These are marriages out of an equal
number of each class; the actual num~
ber of bachelors married will be the
greatest only in proportion as they ex-
ceed by seven to one the actual num-
ber of widowers living at these ages.
Under the some conditions, for every
spinster married between thirty and.
sixty-five two- Widows arc remarried.
