A Brave Woman.

There are many women in this world
and they have many ways of dealing
with recreant husbands. A little inci-
dent that recently occurred reminds us
of this fact.

Some women meekly bear continued
insults from the men who swore to pro-
tect them, and find their consolation
either in religion or tears, or an appro-
priate co-mingling of both. Others,
who are blessed with a mighty temper,
are so quick to resent masculine des-
potism that the furniture Of the room
where the attempt at oppression took
place looks as though a zephyr from
Dakota had been amusing itself with it.

Mrs.—well, for fear Of interferring
with a' ocmplete reconciliation, we will
‘ call her Mrs. Blank. The husband a.
night or two ago came home under the
impression that he was the Czar of All
the Russias. Bad whiskey, and oceans
of it, had induced this hallucination.
He was a huge fellow, and the whiskey
' percolated from his soggy brain to his
knees. He threatened in the voice of a
corporal Of the guard tO chastise his
wife, and bade her prepare herself
therefor.

Ah! but she was just-the: woman for
the emergency. One blow and he was
at the head of the stairs; one more and
he was at the‘foot Of the stairs. Seiz-
ing him by the collar she dragged him
through the street to the station house,
-= nd the next morning helpaid five dol-
rs at the command Of the Court, re-
nrts the Herald. '
All hail the -“coming:woman” if the
one above is a fair sample, and may
' their tribe increase, until :wife beating
brutes are whipped into subjection.

Q.

 

Smooth Pavements.

New York is now engagedzin putting
down smooth and. noiseless pavemen‘s
in its streets and the following from ti o
Herald is worthy our city Councilmen’s
attention. It says the New York Board
Of Health reports that the death rate in
the city during the first six months Of
this year was lower than for the same
period during any recent year. This
desirable result it attributes mainly to
the city’s cleaner streets. It says:—
f‘The fact that many thoroughfares on
the east side are now asphalted, enables
the street cleaners to do their work
better. This has the effect? of improv-
ing the health of the city.”

This important testimony as to the
value of smooth pavements to the public
health should spur the proper author-
ities On to doing away with the rough
stone pavements as fast as possible.
Such pavements are simply a common
nuisance which has already been tolera-
ted too' long. Of all the deplorable
noises from which New York suffers the
the most intolerable is the ceaseless din
that comes from trucks, wagons and
vehicles rattling over the rough stones
with which so many streets and avenues
are still paved.

N 0 time should be lost in remedying
this evil by the substitution Of pave-
ments which will promote the comfort
and health of the people of that city.
Now for Norwalk.

TO BE SETTLED SOON.

The Hoyt Will Case in theCourts for Seven
' Years.

 

 

The J. B. Hoyt estate, after being
open seven years, is at last to be settled,
and within a month. The determina-
ticn was arrived at yesterday afternoon
at a conference in Mr. Fessenden’s
Office between counsel for Timoth H.
Porter and for his co-executors, Schuy-
ler Merritt and Thomas G. Ritch. Mr-
Porter has apparently won a victory in
this decision and established his sincer-
ity of purpose in desiring to have the
estate settled up.

Upon the conclusion of the confer-
ence Stiles Judson, representing Mr.
Porter, and C. L. Reed, representing
the other executors, went over to the
Probate Court and jointly made the
following motion: '

“Parties have agreed upon terms of
settlement of all matters Of difference
between them, and, for the purpose of
carrying out such settlement, which in-
volves among other matters, a distri-
bution of the remaining assets of said
estate and a final accounting, ask that
the further hearing upon this petition
be continued until August 29th, and we
further ask the court to reserve that
day for a formal hearing upon the ac-
count, which, when accepted and ap-
proved by the court, will dispose of
this petition [the petition for removal
of executors] under the agreement of
the parties.”

It was explained that the parties had
agreed to employ two expert account-
ants, one to represent Mr. Porter and
one to represent the other executors,
who should together go over the books
and accounts Of the estate and prepare
an account for filing in 'the Probate
Court, which is to be a final account.
At the same time the residue of the es-
tate is to be distributed and the whole
matter, with the exception of the two
trusts, the Frederick Maxwell Hoyt
trust and the Mrs. J. B. Hoyt trust
which cannot be closed, will be settled
up.

' During the seven years this estate has
been in the executors’ hands, it has had
a vicissitudinous- career, litigations Of
unique character betweenthe executors
growing out of it directly and indirectly.-
The legal conflict concluded yesterday
was mostsensational.—Stamford Advo-

cate.
