l the County Court Moves to Norwalk.
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. " .
But whatever result may come, Nor-
walk by her action has spurred Bridge-
port iuto life and has thereby saved the
county ‘inany thousands of dollars. This
is considerable, but it is not all. We want

' Death of Another Old Citizen.
Mr; James W. 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.

Hon.Jonathau E. Wheeler of Saugatuck
died suddenly at his home inSaugatuck
Sunday night. He had been in his usual
health and spirits but a short time before
his death, the first symptom of anything
wrong being an unpleasant sensation in
the throat-which caused him tocough,
and on steppinginto the hall he grew faint
and was conducted to a sofa when he at -
once became insensible, dying shortly af-
terwards. .

Mr. Wheeler was a prominent democrat—
and a well known and successful business
man, having conducted business in San-
zatuck for 25 years. He is spoken of as
“a man ofvpro'nounced opinions, warm
friendships, genomes impulses and was a
sound, reliable . business man, widely
known, and had a host of friends in and
out of the state." For several years he
was president of the Fairfield County Ag.
ricultural Society. His first w1fe was a
daughter of D. P. Ely of South Norwalk,
who died within a year after marriage.

neral will take place from his late resi-

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.

An eccentric individual, who last fall
immortalized himself by “digging for
eels" in the mud during low tide while In.
boring under temporary aberration of poor
whiskey, had another little experience
last' Saturday night. He was. in a Main
street saloon inTbattle array and cutting
up in just such a mandlin style as Jersey
lightning generally inspires, when sudden-
-ly a shadow fell athwarti his "joyousness,
as his wife marched in, took‘him . by the
ear, led him outside, shook his teeth into

or gloves until he pleaded to be hauled
acmewhore and allowed to die, when she
led him home chained in triumph to her
chariot wheels. -He'll~be at it again just
as soon «the color returns from his ide-

§ j BETHEL. ‘

Fred. Reid, now of Ft. Wayne, Ind.,
came home last week for a brief stay.

A little son of Wm. Clll‘l‘id while coast-
! ing Saturdayrcollided with a fence, and
was picked up uucmiScious and badly
bruised about the face.

Mrs. David Sloan fell Saturday morning
. and broke her hip, which causes her in.
tense suffering. She is now at the home
of her son, George Shepard.
' Chicken thieves pgpetrated fowl play
in Johnnie Wylie’s hen coop last Monday

neighboring clothesdine the same night.

One of Betliel’s most urgent needs is a
hotel. A short time ago two hotels flour-
ished here, and now a weary pilgrim ip
order to get “where to lay his head,"must
do something rash to win the sympathy of
Constable Hibbard and thus secure the
hospitality of Oscar‘s hotel under the
Town Hall, and seven dollars and costs in
the morning. 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. " *
