voL. VIII. NO.1993 NORWALK
One of Two Things.
The 'result- in South Norwalk
shows one of two things, either that
the Republican “Boss” in South
Norwalk, John H. Light, and his .
friends have no influence, or they
did not exert it for Mr. Hurl-
butt, as they claim they did. If
the influence of Mr. Light had been
exerted in behalf of Mr. Hurlbutt ‘
as it was in behalf of Mr, Keeler,
. there would have been the same re-
sult as in his case. Mr. Keeler was
included in the suppressed circular,
the basis of the article printed in
the Sentinel, and was struck out.
The “ Sentinel” says, Mr. Hurl-
butt, if elected, would defeat Mr.
Light’s efforts for South Norwalk
in the Legislature. Mr. Hurlbutt,
is then, a much stronger man than
Mr. Light, or South Norwalk “wants
something it ought not to have. In
either event, it was treachery to
the Republican party of the State,
defeating a man whose counsel the
party was and is entitled to, in or-
der to get something South Nor-
walk ought not to have, the sole
Republican Representative from
N orwalk. ‘
A ¥
THANKSGIVING DAY.
Gov.Cooke Issues the Customary Proclama-
. tion.
Gov. Cooke has issued his Thanks-
giving day proclamation appointing
Thursday, Nov. 24 to be observed as a
day of Thanksgiving and prayer.
The full text of the proclamation is
as follows:
“In accordance with the early and
continued custom of this state of de-
.~:;nting..one.special..day.m.the... .y,ear,.,t_.oi,
public thanksgiving to Almighty God
for the mercies and blessings bestow-
ed upon our land and people, I hereby
designate and appoint the 24th day of
November, instant, to be observed as a
day of thanksgiving and prayer and I
recommend that the people of the state
assemble in their usual places of wor—
ship and render sincere thanks to God
for the return in a large degree of busi-
ness prosperity, and the industrial wel-
fare of our people; for the' bountiful
harvests and the remuneration of the
husbandmen, and especially let thanks
be given that a foreign war suddenly
thrust upon our nation has been Quick-
ly ended by complete victory for our
arms on sea and land; and that we
emerge from the conflict a united na-
tion with renewed patriotism.”

Prohibition Wins.
The Democratic representative tick-
et and the justice of the peace ticket in
North Haven were all thrown out,
Tuesday night, owing to irregularities.
It the first place, the chairman of
the Democratic town committee, L. A.
Brockett, had failed to have the name
of the office placed on the representa-
tive ticket as is required by law. The
candidate was Andrew D. Clinton. He
had 81 votes but they were all rejected
owing to this technicality.
Then the Democratic justice of the
peace ticket had: the title printed in
too large type. It was therefore nec-
essary to throw out all these tickets
and as a minority representation, the
Prohibitionists’ ticket with 21 votes
was declared elected.
AA;
More Honors.
Mr. Clarence Osborn seems to be
Overrun with luck at this time. On
Tuesday he was elected a representa-
tive on the Democratic ticket in a town
of nearly 800 Republican majority, and
last night Mrs. Osborn presented him
with a little son and heir. '
Clarence, we congratulate you, and
may your shadow never grow less.
A Fire Mishap.
Mrs. William Saunders, 'of East Nor-
walk, one day this week narrowly es-
caped being burned to death. A calico
wrapper which she had on while work-
ing about her home caught fire from
and blazing up-
badly singed her hair, but luckily
caused no serious burns, before the
flames were extinguished.
Ladies’ Aid Entertainment.
The Ladies’ Aid society of the East
N orwalk Methodist church gave a
musical and literary entertainment in
thelchurch last evening. The Singing
by the Norwalk Methodist church
quartette and a chorus of thirty voices
was not the least of the attractions.
Refreshments were served.

Crowe, of South Norwalk.
Among the guests were many from
out of town, relatives and near friends
of the bride and groom.

Dr. Nancy Says She Is Tired
of Being Pursued By
Authorities.
Will Sail For America on the Lucania
Saturday.
Sheriff Hawley has received a letter
from Detective Edward Cronan an-
nouncing that he will sail on the
steamer Lucania on Saturday next with
Dr. Nancy Guilford as his prisoner.
He states that all the preliminaries
have been carried out according to the
laws of England and everything is in
readiness for the trip home. Both
Detective Cronan and Matron Hill, who
accompanied him, state that they have
received every courtesy 'at the hands
of the English officers and are strong
in their admiration of English methods.
A few days ago the Officials of the
prison where Dr. Guilford is held, in-
formed her that the officers had arriv-
ed from America to take her back. She
at first manifested no interest in the
annoiincement but later began to cry.
Then she asked who the officers were.
She had a woman’s curiosity and it led
her to make an unguarded admission
which was equivalent to an admission
of her identity which she has hereto.
fore refused to yield. She has always
claimed that she was Mrs. Wilbur [of ‘
California and that she was an unfor-
tunate woman and the victim of cir-
eumstances. .
When the name of Detective Cro~
nan was mentioned to her, hoWever,
she said that she had heard of such a
man and that she knew he lived but a
short distance from her in America.
She intimated that she was glad the
was then informed that Mrs. Hill, the
police matron, was also in England and
would accompany her on the return
trip. Dr. Guilford made the'same re-
ply in regard to Mrs. Hill. She
says she is ready to meet what may
come.
It is expected that Detective Cronan
and his prisoner will arrive in this
country a week from next Saturday.

Will Probably be Laid Up for Many Days.
Henry S. Grumman, of the firm of
Grumman Bros, is laid up at his home
on Camp street with a fractured leg.
That his injuries were not even of a
yet more serious nature, is a wonder
that his friends are unable to solve.
He went home at a late hour last
night and visited the barn to see if
everything was all right.
While in the dark in one of the stalls
he suffered a kick from a horse that
caused a serious fracture to his right‘
leg below the knee.
He called for help but his cries were
not heard, and he was forced to lie
there until this morning when his
plight was discovered and he was taken
into the house and Dr. S. H. Hunting-
ton summoned.
Dr. Huntington reduced the fracture
and the victim of the accident is 'get-
ting along as well as could be expected,
but it will probably be many days be-
fore the member will be of much ser-‘
vice to him.

Farmer Gardiner Has a Close
Cali.
William Gardiner, a farmer residing
in thev1cinity of Beardsleypark,Bridge-
port, is congratulating himself over his
close escape from being gored to death
by a bull yesterday morning. As it
was he sustained painful contusions of
the ribs and a severely sprained wrist
by the horns of the beast.
Mr. Gardiner’s farm is stocked to a
considerable extent with several kinds
of blooded live stock. The particular
bull with which he had the encounter
is an exceptionally ugly animal and on
sundry occasions during enraged spells
has made efforts to prod I its owner
with its horns. The accident occurred
about 10 o’clock ygsterday morning.
The hull was led in from the pasture to
the cow shed.
Just after the bull had been led to
one side of the shed, it suddenly turned
its head and rushed at the farmer. Mr.
Gardiner grasped hold of the horns and
was pinioned in a corner while the an-
imal was forcing its horns against his

The basement is utilized as a shop
for plumbing work.
The officer advised Officers More-
house and Hunt of his suspicious and
the three surrounded the building.
After a short time a noise, as if some
one was trying to pry open a. door, was
heard and the police made a ru‘sh and
captured arman who had a section of
pipe in his hands and with which hg
was using his best efforts to get into,
the shop.
It was found that he was a colored
man, known as “Ki ” Thompson, and

predicament of his employer and struck
the maddened beast repeatedly with a
club. This caused the animal to tem-
porarily turn its head. Mr. Gardiner,
weak from his struggle, took immediate
advantage of the sudden change in the
situation and hastened from the corner
with the bull in pursoit.
Mr. Gardiner escaped and was imme-
diately driven to the Emergency hos-

not dangerously injured.
