No. 1,691. THE 111113 LAWS. THE PRESTON HOUSE. Decided Improvements Being Made in and About the Same. ‘ john», Hadden’s New Restaurant Promises to be ofa HighQOrder. ' Mr. John Hadden is the owner of the building at the corner of Wall and River streets. He is a young man of pro» gressiv e ideas and a liberal eduCation. He stw that there was room for im- p101 ement in the Preston House, es- tablished by his pa1ents, and to that .end has since given vent to his mind, with the result that he has ,a well ap- pointed hostlery to be conducted on' both the American and European plan. The cafe was first modernized by the introduction of booths and other facili- ties for the better handling and com- fort of his patrons. Not long since he became imbued with the idea that a first-class restaur- . ant would not be out of place in connec- tion with his cafe. To think with John is quick to decide. One of his stores needed for the res- taurant was already occupied, but he managed the matter in such a way that the tenant vacated. . He then sent for painters, plumbers, carpenters, house furnishers, etc., and told them partially ' of his plans. The paintersdiave made the front of the building one of the most attractive _ in this city, an enamel white with gold trimmingspredominating. The effect is pleasing. The carpenters, plumbers, paper. hangers and others were in the mean- time busily engaged in a transforma- tion scene on the upper floors. New entrance doors were cut into the build-. ing. and a general "routing out” of the rooms made, and the entire system of plumbling changed, Which is now all '1 “up-to-date.” 7 ' The rooms will all'be lighted with incandescent electric lights and heat- ed by a hot air furnace. There are fourteen sleeping apartments all of which are being refurnished by Buck- ingham & Co., of Bridgeport. The restaurant will be in the main store on,the ground floor, communica- tion being made with the cafe through an opening out between the walls separ- ating the same. 2 ' A French chef has been engaged to take charge of the restaurant, and the best of edibles will be served. It is proposed to conduct the place in first- class style, and the management_‘hope to give the people of Norwalk a ree- _ taurant such as they have never yet enjoyed. It is now proposed to open the place on or about September 15th. It is al- together an innovation that ought to be appreciated by the public and se- cure a liberal patronage. A large sum of money has been ex- pended in the venture and the, result” will be watched for with interest. A ‘ ‘ 7 ——Prof. M. S.

An old lady who was in a dying con- dition expressed a wish for some ice cream on Sunday last, and even with the assistance of the police her wish failed of being gratified. This is a tru1sm which may lead some more favored res- idents of other towns to remark, “N or- 1 walk is altogether too Puritanical for comfort.” 4 ‘1 -— i 7 August License Monies. 7' , The County commissioners have re- ceiVed for licenses during the month of _ August, $4 010, and it has been distri- Stamford, $541.50; Danbury; $109.25; Greenwich, $47.50; _ Bridgeport, $3,111.25.

Scofield of Ponus street, New Canaan, himself in his 85th year owned a horse which for the best part of his twenty-eight years of life had fldone him good and faithful service. So much was the owner impressed with this fact that, when at last it became‘ only too evident that the h101se would be happier under the gr ass of the Mead- ow than upon it, Mr. Scofield, like an- other Hagar, unwilling to see the death ofa creature dear to him; ar— ranged to give the animal to Samuel Dibble of North Stamford, upon the‘ condition that after a few days’ easy work he should be quietly assigned to a comfortable grave under the daisies, but, in the meantime, he was not to be sold, lent, bartered, traded, ,or in any other way disposed of, except that which was agreed upon. 1 Mr. Dibble appears to have misun- derstood 011 entirely forgotten the con- ditions. At all events, the venerable bestower of the horse heard with sur- prise and chagrin that the animal for Whose happy release from care and la- bor he had, as he supposed, provided for, was s01d to Smith Cox for the sum of $7, cash in hand paid. It was at once rightly supposed that Mr. Cox did not pay his seven dollars for the animal for the privilege of burying it, but had probably in View a sufficient amount of horse-labor to repay the investment and incidental expenses This devel- opment of the case so greatly worried the former venerable owner of the horse that he offered Cox the seven dollars to buy it back. To this pro- position M11. 0011, being made aware of the circumstances, 1very kindly con- sented, an so the .horse was brought home and—won’t be sold, lent, or bor- rowed again, neVer again. But Mr. Scofield naturally complains that his benevolent intentions did not work out exactly as he had planned them. In- stead of getting rid of a disagreeable job, he has had to do it, and is out seven dollars besides,unless Mr. Dibble shall be convinced that he forgot all about the conditions. —————-——<0.o>—————-———- ‘ A.Guest of the Club.

Business Promises to be Large and 0y- stermen Happy. Embargo on oyster's was raised yes— terday. The superstition, more wide- spread than any other known in this country, that oysters are good only in the months which‘ sport an R, has kept the bivalves under the ban for four full months and the public appetite for these delicacies is whetted. The sea- son, which will last until next May, came in with a rush. 7 To dredge the oysters, transport them, open them, pack them for ship— ment, and distribute them gives em- ployment to a large number of men in and about Norwalk. Some magnitude of the work can be obtained by visit- ing the oyster houses along the river whaif at South N011 walk. “This-is going to be a good oyster year,”said one of the dealers yester- day. “There isa good crop and the trade has started in briskly. As yet the oyster is not quite at his best flavor. Being so far out of the world, you see, he doesn’t realize that the month with the R has iome again, and so he really hasn’t got into his best condition yet; but he gives promise of first-rate flavor, and with the first of the cold weather he will be as excellent as ever. This year’s trade will be more than even in local oysters.” AMUSEMENTS. “ Never Again.” Save all your brightest smiles for “Never Again,” the opening play at Hoyt’s Theatre, Saturday, September 4.

The brokerage office of J. M. Hawley i & Co., in Bridgeport, is in the hands of a sheriff, an attachment having been i placed for $1,000 in favor of J. _D.

[Norwalk Refuses, —_Wilt’on Like. 1wise andthe Maker of the " ' Bill Still Awaits. ‘ A Wilton Physician May "sue for Medi- cal Services. ' Some fourteen or m01e years ag'b Charles A. Burr secured for one of the child1 en at the Town Home a place in the family of Henry Hanford at VVilto’ on Chestnut Hill so called. The little fellow was named Fred Hope, and he was at the time perhaps eight years of age, He remained with the Hanford family until he reached his majority, and has ever since been a resident of Wilton, and has married. Some time ago the Selectmen of N011- walk received a bill from a Wilton phy- sician, asking for the payment of $13 for medical attendance on account of Mr. Hope, it being stated that the se! lectmen of Wilton had refused to honor the same on the ground that Norwalk was responsible for the same. This bill selectman Selleck refused to honor, and he is looking into the legal status of the matter, "which at first seems to be decidedly complicated. As to whether Norwalk or- Wilton will pay the bill is a mooted question. Neither believes that they ought to pay and it may be that the courts will be‘called upon to settle the matter 'if the physician insists on the pay ment of his bill. ‘ <‘v' PERSONAL NOTES Rev. and M15.
