D. 1 The special town meeting to be held to-night cannot, it is claimed, doought but adopt or rejectjthe petition of Rep- resentative Light, owing to the peculiar construction of the call. A large number of the earnest friends of consolidation will necessarily vote against that measure at to-night’s meet- ing, for the reason that they are not in favor of Mr. Light’s unfair representa- tion clause. . Should the petition be‘ adopted the Legislature would be very liable to al- low Mr. Light’s, proposed representa— - tion clause stand, thereby depriving some 2,500 citizensof their rights. This would be unfair to them, and it cannot be seen how the friends of con- solidation can vote to accept Mr. Light’s petition. It would seem that the better way to accomplish the desired object at to- night’s meeting would be tofithorougho ly discuss the project and then pass a ‘ resolution fatter-ing consolidation irre- spective of thelcall. After this has been done let each portion of the town, viz., Norwalk, South Norwalk, East Norwalk, Rowayton, West Norwalk, . W innipauk and Cranbury, hold a meet ing of its own and appoint a suitable committee to draft such amendments to Mr. Light’s petition as Such commit- tees may deem best for the interest of that portion of the town each commit- tee represents. This having been done our Represen- tatives should be requested to intro- duce said amendments, and see that the same are referred to the proper com- mittee in the Legislature, and upon the day set for a hearing upon the petition and amendments, have the aforesaid committees appear before the Legislative committee and be heard upon their amendments. In this'way a full,fuir hearing will be obtained arid that the interests of each porton of our town would be fully considered and WHY Blllll sou. ‘Didn’t Want to _' Bring Old caravansaries Back to America. TO HAVE NEW OUTFIT. Greatest Show on Earth Will Come to Us Bigger and Brighter Than Ever. BRIDGEPORT, Feb. 27.——The an- nouncement from London that the Barnum and Bailey show was now a British institution, and would not re- turn to this country. is confirmed by in- formation from the representatives of the Barnum and Bailey people in this country. The European trip of the show was a greater success than was anticipated, its introduction to Eng- land appears to have filled a long felt want; and so it is going to remain in its permanent success being assured. It has been formed in- to a stock company, and the stock sold high at that. The inference naturally was that Bridgeport and the rest of the country will see no more of the Barnum and Bai- ley show, and that the winter quarters at the west end will be discarded, or greatly curtailed in extent, but it is stated on good authority that Bridge; port will be the home of a greater Barnum and Bailey show than ever went to England. When the greatest show on earth went over to the old coun- try, it took all the properties it had in its procession for a dozen of years. Much of the properties could not have been used in this country again, as their novelty has worn off, their de- sign has become stale, and their use- fulness much impaired. Of course, good material of every description was taken over as well, but this, with its two years’ touring, must have been-re- placed. 'i‘he real reason the Barnum and Bailey show sbld out was that the man-*- agers did not want to bring their stuff profitable to sell their menagerie, mn- seum, etc., together with the entire cir- cus, than bring them back. Besides, the establishment of a Barnum and Bailey show in England is accounteda good investment anyway. The Barnum and Bailey show, in all its magnificence, is to be re-established in this city, and the scheme now on _ foot is to have a greater show than ever before. One who is informed says it would be the sheerest nonsense to sup- pose that Mr. Bailey would give up the American continent to anyone. \The plans for reorganization are not obtain- able at this date, but enough is known to assert that it will throw the former shows in the shade in its expensiveness. Furthermore, it will be new from the It will not lack any of the leading feat- bottom up, or from the tOp down. ures of the managerie or museum. Mr. Bailey has agents all over the world looking up features for it at the pres— ent time. The new show has been elaborately planned, but the plans have not reached this country yet. MW No Benth Warrant. State’s Attorney Fessenden will not take John Kohnostos, the Greek in Stamford, accused of the murder of a fellow countryman, before thepresent term of the Superior court on a bench warrant. Mr. Fessenden says that lit— tle would be gained by so doing because there is so much business before the term of court. The accused man will be held for trialat the May term of the court 9 —-—————-——<o.0>———-——- A Couple of Breaks. There was a break in the the Water pipe at the Corner of North Main and, Washington street, South Norwalk, on Saturday. It was promptly repaired. Sunday another break made itself apparent in the water pipe in front of the Raymond residence on East Wash- ington street. The break will be re- paired to-day. Fainted in Church. While attending services in St. Joseph’s church, South Norwalk, yes- terday, Mrs. A. _B.‘Freeman was sud- collapsed to the extent that she had to be taken to her home on Day street in a carriage. Her condition was report- back to this country, and it was more we believe thatitn'is safe,.to *assume' denly taken with a fainting spell, and . granted by the members of the Legis- lative Committee, who are entirely uninterested, as wellas by our Repre- sentatives. > An unusually large meeting is pre- dicted for to-night, and it is safe to as- sume that the enemies of consolidation will do their utmost to defeat that project. It is therefore the duty of every friend and advocate of consoli- dation to make an effort to attend the .meeting and see that some other friend of the measure accompanies him, and that every effort be made to express an opinion in favor of consolidation The time to consolidate has arrived, and no one not blind to his own inter- ests will attempt its defeat. - Let there be a big meeting, full discussion and a free and fair vote in favor of consolida- tion.
