cessof $20,000, to carry out such object.

following resolution was presented by}
Levi Warner. .-

and in behalf of this town, [with the

The unanimously
passed, after some discussion in which
Dr. J. B. Fail-child made one of his
the
resolution was
inimitable speeches which set
meeting in the best of hum or.
Dr. Fairchild commenced by saying
" I am here for a peculiar purpose, and
i want to emphasize that purpose.”
This was greeted with applause. Con-
tinuing he said “be men, he gentlemen,
get there;” (applause) “I have a right
to speak, you papers,” he said as he
turned toward the reporters’ table,
“please qualify that remark. I suppose
I ought to have been a lawyer.”
At this juncture he was interrupted
by John Tierney from the other side
of the room, and for a while the
voices of the two men were consider-
ably mixed up.
Dr. Fairchicd gave Tierney a shot
that caused an outburst of laughter by
saying, “ I will get you half a pint of
peanuts and let you chew on them if
you are so anxious to chew. That’s
about your size and measure.”
He finally finished with the remark,
“ If we can’t get manufactories in town,
‘ lets have a lunatic asylum,” and sat
down under a. shower of applause
and - laughter seldom accorded to a
speaker at a Norwal k town meeting.
The meeting was in the best of humor
and the following resolutions were
Voted without a dissenting voice.
VOTED: That the. sum of $20,000 or so
much thereof as shall be necessary, be

islation as shall be deemed necessary to

NOT THE PIERCE.
Schooner Aground at Cockenoe’s is the
Sallie E. Ludlum.
The big schooner aground at Cooke—
noe’s is not the F. M. Pierce. as pub-
lished, but is the Sallie E. Ludlum.
An unsuccessful attempt was made yes-
terday to lioat her. The tides have
been running very low for the past few
days and 'all attempts to float the ill .
fated lumber schooner have been of no
avail.
The owners of the schooner will make
another attempt to float her to-day and
if it proves unsuccessful her cargo will
be thrown overboard and floated to
East Norwalk. The old salts along the
shore hereabouts say that they do not
believe the Ludlum will be ever floated
as the tides at present are apogee and
it Will not be perigee until the last of
next week, when it will be too late as
the wind is'liable to shift to the north-
east and then she will surely pound to
pieces on the beach: Old sailers are
wondering how the Ludlum came to
be inside George’s Rock as they claim
it was away out of her course. The
Ludlum is beached about 200 yards from
where the oil schooner burned last
spring.

AMUSEMENTS.
Burrill Comedy Company.
Commencing next Monday evening,
the Burl-ill Comedy Co. will open a
week ’s engagement,presenting a series
of scenic production at 10, 20 and 300,
The opening play will be Howard P.
Taylor's society Drama, entitled: "In-
fatuatioa.”0ne of the most pleasing
features of the pi-Ogramme is the lack
of bul‘l’onery, so often displayed by popu-
lar price shows, this itselfstamps the
members of the Company as artists,
thus showing that they possess the
capability of pleasing an audience by
the essential and high class acting
possessed by artists. The acting by
Laura Hulbert,an accomplished actress
is exceptionally line, while the Vaude-
ville part of the show is far superio r
to the average especially the buck and
wing dancing of Miss Nellie Deveau,
while only 14 years of age she possesses
many medals wor by her superiority
in that line. '
Across the Continent.
A small house greeted Oliver Byron
in his popular play “Across the Conti-
nent”, at Hoyt’s Theatre last evening.
The piece has been changed consider-
ably to make room for specialties,
which were well received. Mr. and
Mrs. Bern were excellent, as they ,al-
ways are, the former _receiving an
abundance of applause throughout the
several thrilling situations in which
1 the hero is placed during the play.
