Mr. Honnecker objected to the resolution
offered at that meeting because he objected

was not indulged when it was learned that
the soldiers were merely passing through,
and had no present intention of instituting
warfare, as the crowd surrounding them
supposed. The red :shirts of the Salva-

a few of the crowd as a fabric of the

the town as soon as a base of operations
can be secured. . ’ -

THE cougar noose.
Norwalk Now Has the Best Chance and
Everything Point-to Her Success.—
The Condition of Affairs at Present.
A partyfrom Norwalk visited Hartford
last Tuesday and appeared before. the
committee on New Counties and County
Seats in support of the bill which is given
in full in the first column of the second
page of to-day’s GAZETTE.‘ The committee
met in the senate ante-room about 3:30
p. m. and the chairman, Senator Bradley,
stated thatthe meeting would be‘ inform-
al but that the parties in favor of the bill
had better make plain their positions - in
the matter. The bill was then read and
Senator Asa Smith addressed the commit-
tee. He stated that the bill was intended
to remove all doupt as to the legal right
of Norwalk to make the offer she had
made, and to settle the entire question.
If the people of the county had a chance
to vote on the question of the location of
the court house a large majority would
vote for Norwalk as against Bridgeport.
Judge D. C. Birdsall said the necessity
for a new court house was admitted, and
so far as location was concerned he favor-
ed Norwalk. But at all events if the 10-
cating of the .court house at Norwalk
would save the county $125,000 it deserv-
ed the Consideration of the committee and
of the toiling people.
Representative George. Burr Smith ‘of
Westport then made an earnest speech in
favor of Norwalk, and characterized the
headlong action of the county convention
as “snap" legislation on the part of
Bridgeport. Ten minutes before the con-
vention he knew nothing. of the matter,
and the people at that time did not know
what, was going on. He would be con-
demned by his constituents if he returned
andsaid he had voted to tax them their
share of $125,000 when by voting for Nor-
walk all tax would be escaped. And the
fact that a majority of 12,000 people would
bebetter accommodated at Norwalk justi—
fied the presentation of the bill.
Mr. E. K. Lockwood stated that the
tow’n meant business, and by one of the
largest and most. unanimous town meet-
ings ever held in Norwalk, their wishes
‘had been manifested.
‘ The representatives ofthe Norwalk pa-
pers then spoke in behalf of the bill after
which the Bridgeport sidepf the question
was argued by Senator Morgan. He was
followed by Judge Lockwood who gave
figures on population based on the 21 to
14 vote not’ to reconsider.- He made an
able argument which would have been
more able if more correct.
Lawyer Davenport of Bridgeport then
presented a few figures on the census, also
based on the 21 to 14 vote.
The circus then commenced. Judge
Slade, the anti-firecracker man, with a
hitch and a ’hem and a haw, said Bridge-
port wanted to be fair but Norwalk didn‘t.
He then delivered a lengthy peroration on
Bridgeport as a great city filled with great
men who had sprung up from great noth-
ings. Norwalk men earned all their mon-.
ey in New York.’ Bridgeport staid at
home and kept her money in Bridgeport.
(This ha§7never been denied.) Referring
to Norwalk’s 8 o'clock town meeting he
said it- was well known that Norwalk was-
n't awake at 8 o’clock in the morning.
Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler followed, the
purport of his remarks being that Bridge-
port would not “allow” the county seat to
be taken away from her.
Mr. J. J. Millard of South Norwalk then
arose and in a most sarcastic and ludi-
crous speech, in five minutes time had
Judge Slade’s hair standing up straighter
than ever. He referred to South Nor-
walk’s rapid growth and great prosperity
and great men, and yet was humble
enough to admit Bridgeport’s supremacy
to the restof the universe in these and .all
other respects which men could think of.
Senator :Walsh of the Twelfth District
then made a forcible plea for Norwalk.
He stated that all of Bridgeport’s figures
were based on the 21 to 14 vote. This
was not fair as that was in no sen'se a test
‘ He himéelf was of the 21; but if
the matter resolved to a simple choice be-
tween Norwalk and Bridgeport he should
favor Norwalk and he knew of four oth-
ers of the 21 who were of his mind. That
would make the county vote 19' to 10 in
Norwalk’s favor. He then stated that he
could not vote for Bridgeport and a tax,
But he
thought the better way was to adjourn
the hearing on the bill until after Thurs-
day’s county convention.
Representative Phelan of Bridgeport
then spoke on the subject, and 001. H. W.
R. Hoyt of Greenwich ended the argu-
imentby confirming the statements of Sen.
ator *Walsh. The committee then ad-
journed sine die. ' ,
The matter now stands with the. odds
slightly in favor of Norwalk. .The whole
matter will practically .be settled at the
county convention Thursday. In that
convention Norwalk has now a clear ma-
jority of 3, with a fidesible addition of one
in the person of the member from Sher-
man. '
A town meeting is called for 8 _ o’clock
this afternoon to ratify the terms of the
bill referred to above. It will be seen .
.that its provisions are somewhat different
.fromi'the original vote, but the end is : the
'same‘and the net outlay no greater. The
absolute certainty'of our inability to pur-
chase the Mathews property makes some
such measure necessary.

' St. Joseph’s Society.
The hall given by St. Joseph's Benevo-

floor was filled with merry dancers and
the hours passed quickly under the inspir-

rangements the society and the various
committees having prepared“ everything
in a skilful manner. The net receipts
reached a handsome figure.

3, 1861 and a charter was on that date se-
cured from the legislature. It was found-
at St.: Mary‘s and whose picture now

The object of the society is, as its name
signifies, benevolence. And many a~ man
and Woman in Norwalk toiliay is indebted.
for much substantial aid "rendered by-it.
During the sickness of a member the sum
of $3 a week is appropriated for his bene-_
fit for- the first three months of his illness; _,
$2 a week for the next three months; "and
iflonger sick, 81 a week until recovery or.
death. Upon the death of a member $20
is allowed the family for funeral expenses
and $15 in case of the death of amember's
wife. In case a member is sick and
needs attendance two watchers are pro-
vided for each night their services are nec-
essary. The society has now been car-
ried on for 25 years and is now in a very
prosperous condition. It meets the first
Thursday of each month, in the society’s
room in the Hubbell building, corner of
Wall and Main streets. . The rooms are
elegantly fitted up and every convenience‘
is at hand. The society; numbers sixty.
five members. Its officers are as follows;
President, William Sheldon; Nice-presi-
dent Joseph McKiernan; financial secre--
tary, John T. Hays; recording secretary,
Michael J. Riordan; treasurer, James Cla-
vin: committee of five, M. Sheedy, J. Mc-
erty, ' stewards, Simon McNamara and Dan—
iel Donovan.

Attention is called to the‘ card of Mr.
James‘T. Hubbell in another column. Mr.
Hubbell has opened a law, office here in
Norwalk and being a young man of large
capabilities will doubtless e g secure
a:large practice. Mr. Hubbell representedC
Wilton in the legislatures of 1882 and 1883.

An In Ye Olden Time.
The old Isaacs' hemestead on Wall street
was thrown open to the public yesterday
under the direction of the Benjamin Isaacs’
Benevolent Association, for its week of
gayety and celebration preparatory to its
removal from the spot it has occupied
since built in 1753. Gaily decked with
flags and streamers it looked‘to the passer
by, as it was intended it should, like some
Wayside inn celebrating some national
holiday. Over the front entrance hung a
triangular sign. “The Old Square, L. C.
Bolts, Landlord," and the door hung open
wide inviting all to the hospitalities within.
In the front hall was heaped a pile of old
fashioned trunks and as one passed to the
right into the hotel office to register his
name everything reminded him of a pros-
perous old-fashioned hotel. After regis-
tering and paying the fee of a dime, one
ventured to look around him and found
himself in a good sized room hung with
flags and evergreens. Smiling ,L‘a’ndlord
Betts stood behind the counter bidding
his guests welcome and looking’after their
comforts. On the mantel stood an old
clock, the dial hardly larger than a watch
face, which came from the Alexandria,
(Va.) hotel where young Ellsworth was
killed, and which was more thad 100 years
old.- Other relics and ancient devices
hung round the room.
But the dining room was the interesting
spectacle. An old open fire-place with
wood blazing on the. andirons was topped
off with a mantel on which was an artistic.
collection of everything pertaining to thc
agricultural-a worldn Corn, pumpkins,
other vegetables and flowers‘ were ar-
ranged in a manner challenging admira-
tion from all. This was the work of Miss
Nellie Plattand was excellently=done. In
the west cornerpf the room hung several
pewter plates the property of Mr. George
wold Selleck. .These..jwere§5intere§ting
from the fact that they for‘mér y belonged
.
America in the “Mayflower” in' the year
1020. A copy of the “Boston News Let-
ter" was also shown here, a newspaper,
published in Boston, April 24,1704, or
just 96 years before the Gaza-rm, which is
the second oldest paperinthe state, was
started. Tables were spread around this
room and refreshments were solved to the
guests at old time cheap prices.
Passing to the sitting roomwvas found
the masonic apron worn by Benjamin
Isaacs, the first W. M; of St. John’s Lodge
when it was first instituted in 1765. Here
also were;the first two 1‘ ‘eolum‘ns’,’ used by
the lodge at that time. A plan and per-
spective drawing of the proposed Masonic
Temple hung in another part of this room.
This shows a handsome four story build-
ing with a store on the ground floor and
the second story occupied by Ofilces. This
will be erected upon the society’s lot,
where the old Isaaes' homestead now
stands. ~
The upstairs rooms are used as cloak, '
card and smoking rooms. , .
But the most blood-curdling of all is the
“Chamber of Horrors.” Deseend a pair
of stairs; enter a room draped ’with black
and illuminated only by the feeble flicker
of a lantern in the hands of the guide and
you see the torture» chamber of the Inqui-
sition. Shackles, spiked clubs and other
instruments of torture are shown you and
just as you wish you hadn't eaten so much
supper a screen is thrown back and there
is disclosed -——‘- well the odlogy of the
deceased could be spoken in three words,
“Too much goat." By all means visit the
“Chamber of Horrors” -— but not before
supper.’ _ -
