Over $100,000 Probably Saved to the County by Norwalk’s Action. At a meeting of the county representa- 3 tives called at Hartford Wednesday after. noon the county commissioners, by a vote of 17 to 14, were authorized to build a new county court house at alcost not to exceed $125,000. The resolution as passed stated Bridgeport as the location of the building. A question was subsequently asked how much Bridgeport expected to contribute towards the new enterprise. The answer was decisive, “not one cent." An ofler was then made in the name of the people of Norwalk, that, if the county would ac- cept the same, the town of Norwalk would buy and donate the MGrand Lockwood place for use as a county court house. This place‘ which was built at a 'cost of very nearly $1,200,000 would bean excep- tionally fine place for a court house and the offer filled the Bridgeporters with con- sternation. Realizing that they must do equally well or lose the court house, the Bridgeport selectmcn have called a town meeting to consider the matter.. This meeting occurs this afternoon and, in all probability, equal inducements will be made in order to keep the court house in , Bridgeport. , Norwalk, however, is on her mettle and is not going to give up the fight without an cflort. A town meeting will .hc held at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning to con- sider the apprfliriatiou of a sum sufilcient to buy the Lockwood place, and grant‘the use of the same to the county as a court house. It is to be hoped some legal way may be discovered. The beneficial results to the town from having the court house located here are too apparent to need explanation. " .

Pinkney peacefully pass- ed away from earth “very early in the morning of the first day of the week” and so “entered into rest" on the sweet day of rest. Like the venerable Apostle John, he was in the spirit on the Lord's day—“Ab- sent from the body, present with the Lord." Thus a courtly, genial “gentle- man of the old school," upon whose bland countenance and dignified form— we have been accustomed to look with pleasure and veneration for many years, has disap. peared from our streets, and many will i feel a deep sense of loss that we shall see his kindly face no more. Mr. Pinkney had been afiiicted for many months with an insidious and painful disease. He vis- ited his honored nephew, the physician, in New York,.and came to the post 'ofiice for the last time about a month ago, and was comfortably sick at home, sometimes in his library and sometimes in his bed, until last Friday, when c sat with his family for the last time. For a few hours he suflered spasms of pain; then became unconscious until 5 o‘clock Sunday morn- ing. when, like David, “having served his generation by the will of God, he fell on sleep." He would have been 85 years old had he lived till May. Mr. Pinkney was of an old New York family of note. He had a brother who distinguished himself in municipal affairs, » in which he, also, bore an official and hen- ored part as a member of the old Whig party. He wais a merchant there for many years, of high standing and large acquaintance and many friends. Since he came to réside in Norwalk, several years ago, he has been universally esteem- ed, and has been an officer in the Central School district and in St. Paul's parish where he was the warm personal friend and trusted coadjutor of the revered and beloved rector, Wm. Cooper Mead, D. D., to the day of his death. .All honor to the memory of his virtues! The sympathy of the community is with his family. ' - ' xx.

Of the births 169 were males and 158 females. 0f the deaths 156 were males and-100 females.

And One That Bridgeport nun Meet or I The New Amory. gave .an audience to the delegation from Norwalk and, South Norwalk who were pushing the armory project along. There were present from 'Norwalk, James W. Hyatt, Capt. A. A. Betts, J '. B. Hurlbutt, E. J. Hill, W. H. Smith, Capt. A. A. Chin- cry, Dr. J. G. Gregory, A. C. Golding and representative Price. South Norwalk was represented by Hon. Tallmadge Baker, Rowan, Christian Swartz, Lieut. Russell Frost, Capt. Nelson Taylor, Jr., and T. I. Raymond. Quartermaster-General Goodrich made a ‘ few remarks favoring the building of an armory here, as well as in all other places intended in the original plan. Senator Smith, who presented the dele- gation to the military committee, said they represented the best citizens and substan- tial tax payers of the town who had come to urge the claims of the town to recogni- tion in the matter; for two years the state had owned a suitable site in Norwalk pur- chased for the special purpose of erecting on it an armory. ’ ' E. J. Hill said the site is in a desirable locality, midway between the borough and city, and surrounded by fine residences’, on one of the finest avenues in New Eng- land; the building of an armory would promote the organizing of another military company; the interests Of the C. N. G. would be subserved by it, and the people demand it. Talmadge Baker ' said that when the original appropriation of $200,000 was madefor the construction of armories it was expressly understood that Norwal‘k’s ' two companies were to have an armory. but that the appropriation was cxpénded andNorwalk got nothing out of it but a lot. Major Crowe dwelt upon the inadequa- cy of the present quarters used for armo- ries and drill rooms. . _ . Capt. Taylor of Co. D said Norwalk’s need of an armory was more urgentthan that of any other town. The drill rooms of his company is too small and this is a positive detriment as it precludes proper execution of certain military evolutions. Capt. Betts of Co. F said he found it difficult to recruit men on account of the unattractiveness of the quarters, and yet his drill room is better than Capt.Taylor‘s. Dr. J. G. Gregory spoke of the advisi- bility of manintaining the high standard of efilcicncy which the 'C. N. G. has reached. . *J. B. Hurlbutt said the present efficien- cy of the companies is due to the ability of the ofiicers to make progress under ad- verse circumstances; the present quarters cost about $800 annually in rent; the state owns a $5,000 lot which is producing nothing; money could be borrowed for 3 or 8§ per cent., so the expense of main- taining an armory would be but a trifle more than the present cost of quarters. Lieut. Frost held that the sentiment was gaining ground among the soldiers that the state is not doing her duty or meeting them half wav in their expenditures of time andmoneyto make the guard a pride to the commonwealth. , Other remarks of likeimport were made by Messrs. Raymond, Rowan, representa- ‘ tive Price, sherifiESwartz, Golding Chinery and McGee. Burr Smith of Saugatuck. At, the close of the hearing an informal canvas was made of the members of the committee and all were found in favor of granting the armory. They will, however, visit Norwalk this week to inspect the present armories, also the’site for the new building. They will favorably report the miltter and if the committee on appropri-- ations can be induced to be correspond- ingly kind and the two branches of the legislature don't sit down on us, Norwalk will in all probability get an armory start- ed this year. ' The Soldiero’ Home.‘ All members of the legislative commit- tee on military affairs, save one. went to Darien Wednesday. They were accom- panied by Adjutant-General S. R. Smith; and at the station were met by General D, N. Couch, ex—State Treasurer Tallmage Baker and Mr. Fitch, who accompanied them to Fitch’s home. They considered the propositions for increasing the facili- ties for the care of indigent soldiers there, and came to the conclusion that it could best be done by erecting an addition to the building and utilizing the art gallery in such a way as to accommodate all who may apply for the next five years. The sum of $15,000 from the state will be asked for to make the changes required. The chief object of the visit was to see what the house is doing and how it is doing it for the soldiers, and the committee retired taking with them a favorable impression. —Sta1idard. “ ”—— .

Here’s an opening for George Shepard’s irrepressible public spirit—- there’s a dollar in it. ' The South Norwalk Republican says . “Wicked Bethe] has five churches and only one newspaper reporter." If that were true perhaps “Fritz" might be justi- fied in calling it “‘wicked Bethel." But he is mistaken in thinking I’m the only newspaper reporter in Bctliel. There's Charlie Squires, with a nose for news that will root out more gossip and airy nothing- ness in one week than the most strictly orthodox sewing circle of snub-nosed old maids could do in a two hours’ session. Don’t Fritz call him anewspaper reporter '1’ Then there’s my impulsive old friend John T. Pearce, who furnishes a western relig- ious paper with information concerning the second coming of Christ, which he figures out by anloi'iginal system of mathematics. John is well qualified for this work by reason of his past experience as a book- keeper and _ an extensive traveler as well as his thorough acquaintance with statute law and plain and ornamental politics. Doesn’t Fritz regard him as a newspaper man? That trio of scribes should certain- ly count: D. T. Hubbell, who has done some good work in journalism in his day, and eyen since his day. Hubbell igi‘t long for this .world, I suspect—not altogether on account of his transcendent goodness, which of itself, on the principle that “the good die young," must have kept him con- stantly face to face with death in his yout‘ll‘ —but because of the premonitory blare of a “heavenly trombone,” which is ever ringing in his cars; A. L. Baldwin, an authority on agricultural matters and a writer whose sig., “Buzz," always insures his contributions an appreciative recogni- tion as the products of “some punkins;” and Dr. Geo. Benedict, whose able contri- butions on scientific subjects in prominent medical journals have given him a high standing in the fraternity as a medico-lit-' terateur, and who is a capable local writer for various state papers—doesn’t Fritz call these newspaper men? Then while we have so many “newspapers reporters,"_ there would seem to be no occasion for calling this “wicked Bethel,” even if we have “five churches," and Fritz’s apology will be accepted. ———-—<+>—— Sunday Trains. The hearing before the railroad com- mittee on the bill relating to Sunday trains in Hartford last Friday, was interesting, and many prominent clcrgymen, railroad dignitaries and others were on hand. The bill prohibits the running of trains on Sunddy between the hours of 9 a. m. and 3 p. m. excepting in cases of necessity" or mercy. W. W. Hyde argued the _ pcti tioners’ cause, and President Watrous of the Consolidated road, who looked after the railroad interests made .a forcible speech, in which he admitted the advisa- bility of establishing a limit to Sunday traffic, but proposed a compromise measure ' stipulating that the morning hours be ex- tended to 10:30. He would not object to the adoption of a reasonable measure that would appeascthe moral sentiment of the commdnity and not work injury to the railroad interests. _ _._«_, ._ _. ._ Lecture by Mrs. Livermore. “A DREAM or ro-Monnow." The people of Norwalk who heard Mrs. Livermore’s lecture, “What shall we do with our daughters?” given in the Opera House a-few years since, will never forget the impression made by'this admirable woman on that occasion. The name of Mary A. Livermore is a synonym for all that is noblest and strongest in woman- hood. She has been well called “the grand/woman of the century.” Her prom- inence in the labors of the Sanitary Com- mission duriug the war, her connection with great works of philanthropy and re- form, have given her a wider reputation than any other woman in the country. or her surpassing success in thelecture field an enthusiastic admirer has said, “She is to eloquence What Jenny Lind was to mu- sic, and her great powers are employed for the righting of every form of wrong. that keeps humanity degraded.” ‘ Mrs. Livermore is a woman of queenly presence and dignified bearing. As a thinker she is vigorous, incisive and self- poised. As a speaker she is powerful and magnetic, holding her audiences complete- ly under the charm of her superb elo- quence. Says one who has lately heard itz—“Her ‘Dream of To-morrow,’ is a splendid lecture from ,a noble woman." People who have a taste for the best things cannot afford to miss her lecture at the Congregational church, South Norwalk next Monday evening. " * ——-———<+>-——— . The Mutal Life of New York. The accumulated assets of the Mutual? Life Insurance Company of New York, as appears from the annual statement in an- other column, undcr the management of President Richard A. McCurdy, have reached the enormous aggregate of $108,- 908,967.51. The Company last year paid policy holders, for dividends,death claims, matured endowments, etc., the sum of $4,402,049.90, and was in receipt of an .income of over $20,000,000, leaving a large surplus, from which a dividend will facts hardly need any cemment, and the prosperous and always growing business of the great Mutual afford the best proof that they are well understood byall those looking for safety, pboveall, in providing for their families. ‘.'
