Secretary Porter’s “spread” was one of the finest and most attractive seen in Washington this winter and Mrs. Porter made a record as a most capable and captivat- ing hostess. I O 0 U ‘Mr'schKim gave a tea in honor of the Yale Glee and Banjo Club ’yestes- day afternoon at 5 o’clock at her home 1651 K street.

The Proposed'lNew Military ’ Company Meeting‘with ' Encouragement. Will be an Orgainiza‘zion Worthy ofh’orwalk. The proposed new military company to take the place of D, which willgo out of existence, is an assured success. The gentlemen having the organization in charge aTe'Obl’fll'UBQ‘ new - names to the roll daily, and by Thursday night» when the next meeting occurs, they hope to have a sufficient number of signatures to enable them to begin the work of organizing. . Since the first meeting. Monday night a number of new names have been se- cured, not withstanding the effort be- ing‘made by an Officer of another or- ganization to defeat the project. The meeting in the Armory to-mor- row night Will no doubt show that the efforts of the gentlemen having the matter in charge, to prevent Norwalk’s losing amilitary company to some other town, have been appreciated and that the new organization will prove worthy of the town. It is expected that the present officers of Company D will soon hand in their resignations and that organization be- come a thing Of the past, _and in its place} will be Company A made up from the best young men in town. There will be no connection whatever be- tween companies D and A, as the for- mer will go out of existence immediate- ly upon the muster in of the new men, who signed the roll only upon the con- dition that they were to be mustered into anew organization. Ex-Lieutenant Aiken, who is at the head of the movement, hopes and ex- pects to be able to go into camp next summer with a company secondxto none in the Fourth regiment. All young men desiring to join Com- pany A and assist in making'it the crack organization of the state, are cordially invited to be present at the Armory to- morrow evening at 8:30 o’clock, and it is hoped that there will be a good at’ tendance.

Morris Goldberg $300 ' Worth. Leo Davis and l. 1. Guam Stand .Up for Their Clients in Fine Shape. Yesterday finishoda two days’ trial of the case of Gildberg vs. Cuneo which grew out of the bite of a little yellow dog named Jack. The dog wah registered last June by Lewis Cuneo, a minor, and the'plaintifl" supposing him still to be the owner, sued the father for $300 damages. . The defense was that last August Louis gave the dog to his brother An- tonio and this change of ownership ex- empted the father. The dog was in court, but the judge owing to his rec- ord as a biter did not offer to take charge of him as an "exhibit” in the case. The‘case was well tried and neither Mr. .Davis or Mr. Cuneo need be ashamed of their conduct, while at times though spirited was not marked by acrimony. . \ At the close of the trial the judge took the papers but left the dog to h‘s . fate. .0. A NORWALK HOLIDAY. Bridgrporl’s Jealousy. of This Good Old Town Crops Out. Seme “amusing little crisis” escaped from the Barnum & Bailey Winter quarters last night,and dropped into the editorial chair of the Bridgeport Union, where he. left the following libelous article to show his jealousy of Norwalk: “There will be more excitement among the members of the Norwalk fire de- partment today than there has been at any time since the great Ebenezer Jennings’ hat shop fire in the fall 'of ’47 . "when”rbroperty- .to the value of £80was partially destroyed and the lives of three men saved by their not being under the roof' when it fell in. The mayor of Hoboken, accompanied by the‘common council and the entire city government will pay an ofiicial visit to the twin cities and inspect particularly the workings of the fire department. The demonstration that has been plan- nedinfitheir honor is expected to be even more imposing than the giant parade which was celebrated the closing of the war of 1812. Norwalk’s new fire engine will be put on wheels for the occasion and taken to the new hydrant and tested to its full capacity. At the banquet which is to follow, the mayor of Hoboken will also be test- ed to his full capacity, which by reason of the fact that he :is mayor of Hobo- ken, isundoubtedly very great. Since the Raines law went into effect in New Nork city, which on Sunday is a suburb of Hoboken, the charter requirements for the election of a chief magistrate of the New Jersey town have been amend- ed so that a capacity of at least a barrel a dayis now It quired of the mayor. A mayor not (qua! to this test would be considered so far inferior to rest of the population, that the reputation of the town wruld suffer. 'lhe Norwalk receptio 1 committee, however, have taken th‘. fact into account, and ar- rangements have been made, if neces- sary, to use the new fire engine to pump the rrqnired refreshments. There will he a' big parade, although the line of march will,be a brief one, as the visitors, governed by a Hoboken ordinance, must be at home and in bed when curfew rings at 9 o’clock. In ac- cordance with this necessity an early start will be made, and the pageant will move up the main cowpath as far as the pike and then countermarch. All the bands in line are expected to play "The Watch on the Rhine,” in compli- ment to the visiting dignitaries. The order of the procession will be some- what as follows: ' Westport Fire Police. The Greenwich Silver Cornet Band. The Mayor of Norwalk. ’ The Hohenstanfi'en Brass Band of Ho— "boken. - ' The Mayor of Hoboken. ' t Brass Band. The Mayor of South Norwalk. Brass Band. Independent Fire companies from Cob— ble Hill, Compo, Downtown, Gran- iteville, Middle Five Mile River, The Tin Bridge, Whistleville, Hog Hollow and Kettle ' , Hill.
