The gentlemen selected by the sever- al districts, but who did not follow out- the instructions of the town meeting, will in all probability be present and oppose the charter in which case the meeting will be worth attending. It is also said that Mr. Jere Donovan will be present andwill state his posi- tion in the matter, and will also reply to the. numerous newspaper attacks ' that have been made upon him for, not favoring consolidation. As Mr. Donovan is _somewhat of a caustic speaker it is fair to assume that if he enters upon such a defense some one will hear unpleasant things. However, the meeting promises to' be a lively one and every taxpayer should be present, and if a vote upon consdidation is called for let all vote in its favor. .AMUSEMENTS. The Musketeers.

IIIIIIsr ALIEENSE. County Commissioners in Conflict With Court Over Malmb. Case. DECISION REVOKED. Nevertheless the County Commissioners Re- fuse to Recognize the Court’s Decision. The Fair‘field County commissioners are at a variance with the superior court over the granting of a liquor license, and the case is to be taken to the supreme court of errors for a de- oision. The applicant in the case is Her-man E. Malmo of South Norwalk. The commissioners refused to 'grant him a license, and Judge Elmer of. the Super- ior court has revoked their decision. Malmo is without a license, however, because the commissioners refuse to give him one. . - Malmo applied for a license for a saloon on the Washington street bridge. There is one saloon in the vicinity now, but this board of commissioners and that preceding it have refused to grant any more. When Malmo applied there was a remonstrance from prominent property owners and the commissioners decided that the place was unsuitable for liquor business. ' Malrh01s 1epi-esented by Attorney Stiles Judson, J r., who t0ok anfappeal to the superior court. The remon- strants failed to appear in the;Superi.or court, and Judge Wheeler after hear- ing the evidence for the application issued an order revoking the decision of the commissioners. _ Since then the County commissioners have refused to issue the license and will makea test case of it. Attorney Judson will .probably mandamus the commissioners and the question will then be taken to the Supreme court for an opinion. The law passed in 1893 provides that any person aggrieved by the decision of the County commissioners refusing to grant him a license to sell spirituous and intoxicating liquors, or in revok- ing any such license already granted to him, may appeal from such decision to the Superior court. There is noth- ing in this section compelling the com- missioners to grant a license upon the finding of the court. In Section 2 of the same not there is a provision that any taxpayer may ap~ peal to the Superior court from the de- cision of the County commissioners in granting a license to sell liquors or in refusing to revoke a license already granted, and then adds: “Such appeal shall not‘vacate a li- cense already granted; provided that if the superior court shall on hearing refuseto confirm the granting of such license, the same shall thereuponbe vacated and the proportion of license money paid by the appellant for the unexpired term for which such license ' was originally granted shall be return- ed to him.” The, commissioners refuse to ‘ issue the license now upon the ground that there is nothing in the law compelling them to grants. license after the super- ior court has revoked their decision. The. supreme court will be asked to say whether the power of granting a license rests in the superior court or whether it is‘vested with authority un- der the law to order the commissioners to grant a license. ‘ Hobos Fight. Chief Vollmer was informed late Sat- urday afternoon that a gang of 'hoboes had killed a companion during a drunk' en fight in Whistleville. The chief took several officers with him and go- ing to the neighborhood 1ounded up five of the gang, including the report- ed dead man, and lodged them in the station house where they spent the night singing drunken sow s and mak- . ing the night hideous. This morning in the town court they weie fined $5 and costs, and being un- able to pay went to j. .tll. 9.. 0% 153m No One Denies It! , I In every city there is ONE PAPER that leads—that reaches the best class of citizens—Lpeople With money to buy What they want, and to pay fot it.
