The Title Battle Ended.
The case of Rile, et. al. vs. A. and
Hannah Dibble has been decided in
favor of Mr. Dibble. The case has
been in the courts for some time and
grew out of a. dispute as to the right of
Mr. Dibble to certain property (which
some people believed to be a public
driftway to the shore ) It is stated that
it was one of a few like cases wherein
the title to the same could be traced
back and without the shadow of a doubt
be found vested in the claimant.
‘Messrs. Hulbutt & Gregory appeared
for the Dibbles. It is understood that
there will be no appeal from the de-
cision.
The Mystery Explained.
“Some of the commuters on an after-
noon train have been wondering for
came time why it was that acertain
Glenbrook-fman carried home a brand-
new :iron kettle every night. Last
evening the mystery was explained.
The kettle was borling over at every
step the man took, unknown to him,
and because there are no saloons in,
Glenbrook is no reason why the
“growler” cannot be rushed just the
same—Stamford Advocate.
State Politics.
The “New Haven Leader’s" guess is
that Lorrin A. Cooke’s plurality will be
atleast 25,000,probably more; that Con-
gressman N. D. Sperry’s plurality in'
the Second district will be at least 8,-
000 and that the republicans will carry
all the twenty-four senatorial districts,
and that the larger branch of the Gen-
eral Assembly will not contain more
thirty democrats. '
The Leader might have added that
Hill will go out of Norwalk with a clean
' one thousand majority. _,

Edwin Bates of Bates its Bach, the
contractors who are building the new
Telford-macadam road, has been made
the defendant in a petty suit, brought
by Thomas Conlan, the engineer on
their steam-crusher, who was ,dis-
charged a little over a week ago. He
claims $5 for two days’ work and $15
damages. He claims that Saturday
night, Oct. 10, he was told that there
would not be any more work for Mr.
Bach’s large boiler, which he had
charge of, and that it might be discon-
nected preparatory to removal the fol-
lowing Sunday. He was also told to
connect with a smaller boiler which
was on the ground. There was to be
but one or two more days’ work. Mon-
day arrived and the injector of'the little
boiler refused to work. so that the wa-
ter had to be put in by hand, the fire
being put out every time it became ne-
cessary to perform this function. Con-
lan fussed around the injector, but did
not make it work. The gang of men
stood around, ready to start work at a
moment’s notice, as there was pressing
need of the stone. Late in the after-
noon some one suggested that there
was something missing about the injec-
tor, andanother remembered that the
engineer had carried a small piece over
to South Norwalk. This was sent for
and found to be the key to the situa-
tion, the injector working perfectly
after it had been inserted. Although
there was an hour or so of the working
day left, Conlan objected to starting
up, as it was so late, but finally did so.
The contractors, believing that Conlan
had purposely misplaced the part which
caused the trouble, discharged him.
He now sues for wages for two days
spent in making repairs. The con-
tractors believe they have a counter
claim of damages that will ofi‘set his
claim. The case is returnable before

DARIEN.
There is some argument between the
Board of Selectmen and the Norwalk
Tramway Company, in regard to which
shall macadamize the space between
the new piece of Telford-Macadam
road and the tracks of the company.
The Selectmen maintain that the com-
pany is obliged to do it. The com-
pany thinks not, as its agreement with
the town only specified that its road’
bed should be put in the same condi-
tion as the street. -
Many think the Republican nominee
for Representative will be Joseph W.
Mather. He has the record of having
prepared the clause of the‘Wilson bill
concerning borax and having written a
speech which was delivered by a
United States Senator in favor of it.
The clause referred to was passed as
originally drawn. He is about seventy-
five years old, and has resided eight
years in Darien, where he was born.
Other candidates are Arthur Weed
and Alfred Morehonse The Republi-
can Town Committee will hold a meet-
ing Thursday evening to fix a date for.
the caucus. It will probably be held
October 29. The Democrats will, it is
reported, nominate George Gregory
for Representative.

A country schoolmistress-had muc
trouble with her pupils, and to avoid
it had her examples placed before
them in an explanatory or illustrative
character. 7
The effect was often unexpected.
on one occasion", in going over their
usual reading lesson, :1 line was cho-
sen by the lady on' which to test the
merits of the scholars.
The line read: “And he was a man
of unlimited credit in business.”
' “Now, John, can you tell me what
is meant by the word ‘credit’ when
used in this lesson?” ‘ ~
Thus she addressed one of the stum-
bling blocks of the school.
“I dunno, marm,” said Johnnie,
looking sheepish. ~
“You don’t know,” said the mis-
tress. “Well, listen. Suppose your
mother was to be‘short of money at
the end. of the week, and needed pro-
.visions, now what would she do?” ,
She was satisfied that her illustra-
tion was plain, and awaited the an»
swer, which came thus:
“Well, marm,” replied Johnnie, “I
dunno what she would do, unleSs she
pawned dad’s Sunday coat, for she’s
pawned everything else.”
The subject was instantly dropped,
and the teacher now says she has lost
faith in that style of illustration.—
