NO.1989 NORWALK, CONN, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 5,1898. PRICE ONE GEN T. WHAT IT MEANS. It 110w appears that the nomina- tion of Mr. John H. Light by the Democrats of South Norwalk, is more significant than was at first supposed, in fact it has two mean- ings, one for this end of the town and one for South Norwalk. The Democrats in this district are given to understand that by the nomination of Mr. Light, Mr, Os- born will have an excellent chance of being elected over Mr. Hurlbutt, for the reason that many South Norwalk Republicans will scratch Mr. Hurlbutt and vote for Mr. Os- born, and that with the Republican vote similarly obtained at this end of the town, Mr. and thus one Democrat and one Re- publican will represent Norwalk at Hartford. This is all right if true, but at Seuth N orwalk the understanding is entirely different. There, the little coterie of politicians have an excellent scheme on hand, and if it succeeds, this end of the town might as well go into an everlasting Osborn will win, trance. In South Norwalk the nomina- tion of Mr. Light means consolida- tion in favor of that section. Mr. Light being on both tickets, his election is assured, and he will be in the legislature, which will be strongly Republican. N ext, South Norwalk wants a Democrat elected as his colleague, in order that this end of town will be in the minority and have no influence or standing at Hartford. If this scheme succeeds, Mr. Light is to introduce a bill for con- solidation, the new city ward-s or districts to be divided according to the dictates of South Norwalk, and the town will be consolidated under the name of THE CITY 011 SOUTH NORWALK. Should Mr. Hurlbutt be elected, this nicely laid plan will fail, there- fore, South Norwalk does not want Mr. Hurlbutt. A vote for; Mr. Osborn is one more vote against Mr. Hurlbutt, and ev- ery Republican and Democrat in Norwalk should see that Mr. Os- born’s name is scratched from their ballot. This matter has gone beyond a mere question of party politics and is life or death to this end of the town, and it behooves Democrats and Republicans alike to see that Mr, Hurlbutt is elected. ‘ A Free Concert.

About 9 o’clock last night “ Col Hod” Saunders reported to Captain Gladstone that there was a. deserted Columbia bi~ ‘ -7 cycle. standing in front of his store._ The Captain gathered it in, and short- ly after found an owner in the person ofa young man named McNerney of Winnipauk.

Morgan (5. Bulk- eley Retained Uniforms For the Naval Reserves. a An Interesting Story ofa Capitol Incident. A story of eX-Gov. Morgan G. Bulke- ley and Gov. Cooke was told at last night’s meeting of the fir st division, Connecticut Naval Battalion, in the New Haven armory. When the battal- ion was in camp at Niantic and was or- dered to the receiving ship Minnesota at Boston they were, in the words of an officer, “ordered to go in their under- clothes,” for Gov. Cooke sent orders that-the uniforms and equipment should be returned to the state arsenal. Ex-Gov. Bulkeley heard of it and hurrying to the capitol he asked the governor: “‘ Say, Cooke, is it so that you have called in the Naval Battalion uniforms ?” “Yes.” replied the governor. “Well, how much are the d—n uni- forms worth any way?” Governor Cooke figured it out on a pad and said laconieally “Ninety-five hundred dollars.” “Is that all,” was Mr. Bulkeley’s re- tort as he turned on his heel. He turned on his heel in the direction of his banker’s, where he drew a check for $9,500 had it certified and again mounted the capitol steps and soon re- entered the presence of Gov. Cooke. “I want to make a. present of his uni- form and equipment to every one of these loyal men in the Connecticut Na- val Battalion who go out to serve their country and here is the $9, 500 to pay for them,” said ex- -Gov. Bulkeley as he laid the check on the gover nor’s desk and left the room. The upshot of it was that Gov. Cooke ruminated‘a while and then ordered that the Naval Battalion be permitted to wear their clothes to Boston but with the stipulation that at the expira- tion of their term of service they re- turn them in good order, none the worse for wear, or else replace them to the state at their own individual expense. Ex-Gov. Bulkeley was made an hon- orary member of the battalion last night. —'——‘0.0>—-——-—-—- The Gazette Wonders. Why certain South Norwalk Repub- licans were anxious to have Mayor Bohannan run on their representative ticket. If Attorney Light was afraid to run on the Republican ticket only. Why any sane man should swallow the electric light yarn. If any Democrat having the interests of N orwalk at heart Clarence Osborn. Why friendship should cause a Re- publican to vote for Osborn when a United States senator is at stake. If consolidation is accomplished with Light and Osborm in the legislature, where would poor Norwalk be at- after one of Mr. Light’s gerrymanders. What Clarence will think of politics when the leg pulling process is over. If there are any Republicans holding city or town oliices who are working against Mr. Hurlbutt. What the increase in the taxes will be if consolidation is edected under Mr. Light. 0 ‘ --‘ ‘ :7 Golf.

Attorney Ferris Makes a Dicker for an insurance on the Death of Monohan’s Wife. Mrs. John Monohan died a few days since at the Norwalk Hospital, where she was under. treatment as a town charge. At the time of her death the amount of a trifle over $46 was due the town for her care. ' _ The funeral was attended under the charge of Undertaker Kavanagh. . The attorney for the town, Mr. Warner, was informed that there was an insurance of $50 on the life of the deceased and steps were immediately taken to secure it, despite the fact that the amount would hardly cover the Levi funeral expenses. To this end the insurance claim was assigned by the beneficiary to H. Edgar Ferris, Mr. Warner’s partner, 'for the sum of fifteen dollars. This stopped the payment of the money to Monahan, and a suit to recover was withdrawn. The town thus scoured Within a few , dollars the amount Of 1ts claim, while ‘ the undertaker is left without anything The attorney himself says, ‘It was sharp p1actice. but we workfed in the interest of our clients.” . ‘ A-‘ ‘Town Court.

Hod on Fire. ' “ Col. Hod ” Saunders who a few evenings since succeeded in painting South N orwalk a beautiful hue with “red fire ” had a narrow escape yes- day from being incinerated. He was on his wheel on his way to his shooting gallery whenhe felt a burning sensation on his side and glancing down dis- covered that his coat was on fire, and before he could extinguish it the fire had communicated with his trousers. After severely burning his hands and other parts of his anatomy the Colonel subdued the fire, and consoles himself with the reflection that it was not his best coat and trousers that were ruined. He cannot account for the blaze other than that it was caused by some loose matches which he had carelessly placed in his coat pocket the day before. There was no insurance on the gar- ments.
