FIRE !
George Gregory’s Livery Stable Burned.
- Slain-11s, Vehicles, and one Horse Con-
sumed—Valiant Work by the Fire-
men.
\ Last night at about ten o‘clock fire was
discovered in the left of George Gregory’s
livery stable on Knight street. The loft
was used as a store room for a number of
sleighs and stable goods and in one end
was a large quantity of hay and grain.
Immediately on the discovery of the fire
the alarm was given and the work of re-
moving the‘ horses, and vehicles was
begun. Mr. Gregory’s assistants “Seotty”
and “Gene” were doing noble work in the
way of leading thehorses from the burning
building. The first fire company to ur—
rive at the scene was Hope Hose, who
connected with the hydrant close at hand
only to find it;frozen solid, as were two
others in the immediate vicinity. Before
they succeeded in finding a hydrant that
was of service the Phoenix engine com-
pany had arrived and connecting on Main
street ran a line of hose to the fire and
had the first stream on the flames which
by this time had so far progressed that it
was plain to be seen that the building was
doomed. Meantime the assembled fire-
men - and others were working like
beavers hauling out carriages, wagons,
harness, etc., and the' Pioneer hook and
ladder boys Were doing effective service
in pulling down the burning timbers.
The inmates of the houses in the imme-
diate neighborhood were busily engaged
in removing their furniture, under the
conviction that the fire was srrrc to spread,
as the wind, although at the time it was
providcntia‘ily more quiet than it had been
before for some days, was quite high and
constantly shifting and sending huge
sparks in all directions. The hcrculean
efiorts of the firemen, however, prevented
the ignition of any other buildings, and
and many and cordial are the expressions
of commendation and surprise at their
successful fight.
A number of cutters and sleighs on the
second floor it was impossible, to rescue,
and a small carryall and one buggy were
burned, as well a: a horse belonging to
sewing machine agent Fred. Lockwood,
which was boarded at the stable. About
twenty-five horses which were in the barn,
were rescued and taken to other stables.
Mr. Gregory, while attempting to lead
his big roan horse from its stall was quite
animal being almost unmanageable from
fright. ,
Although the building was down very
soon after the fire broke out, the most
vigerons efiorts of the firemen were con-
stantly required to prevent the spread of ’
the flames to the adjoining buildings, and
it was not until early this morning that.
the danger was considered past.
The origin of the fire is not positively
known but the generally. accepted theory
is that'of incendiarism. A tramp who
was seen in the neighborhood with hay-
seed on his coat, and smoking a clay pipe
was arrested on suspicion and taken to
the lockup.
The property was fully insured through
Wilson’s and Cowles and Marrill’s agen-
cies, the insur'ance'being distributed as
follows: on-the building $1,500, in the
Hanover, Niagara and Union of Philadeh
phia; on vehicles $3,212.00 in Royal,
London & Lancashire, Phoenix and New
Hampshire ; on horses $1,750,.in American
and Phoenix; hay, grain, harnesses etc.,
$787.50. - '-

John Malone, a volunteer fireman dro-
ped in his tracks while helping at a line

He was taken to Mr. Honnecker’s where
he now is, delirious but not dangerously
sick. The firernen’s clothing was frozen
stiff and covered with a thick coating of
ice and many sufired inconvenience from

Clerk of .‘orrvalk for the time being, he and
they are hereby appointed a committee, with
full power and authority, with the approval of
the majority of the County Commissioners of
the County of Fairfield, to expend said sum in
procuring said site or rites for the purposes
aforesaid. and to expend the balance of said
appropriation towards the construction thereon
ot'a suitable County Court House and other
County buildings. And the soloctmen are
hereby authorized and directed to pay said
expenses so incurred to, an amount not to ex-
cecd the whole said sum of one hundred
thousand dollars, upon the order or orders of
said Committee and a majority of said Countv
Commissioners, as the same may be given from
time to time. ,- ’
RESOLVED, That said Selectmen are hereby
authorized and empowered to convey, when so
directed by said Committee, all of the right,
title and interest of the town in said site or
sites, buildings and remises to the County of
Farrfield,-to be held y said County to its orvn

RESOLVED, That said Committee are hereby

for the time berng,shall act as clerk of said
Committee, and that neither said Committee,
nor any of its members, not said Town Clerk
in his ;position as clerk of Said Committee,
shall receive any compensation for his or their
In support of the above Mr. Lockwood
made a strong plea for the court house.
He said Norwalk had missed its best
chance when, years ago, it had refused a
small appropriation, which would have
made it the terminus of the Housatonic
railroad, The town now had another
It is generally considered to be‘a cer— badly squeezed against the wall, the good chance for growth and he hoped the
resolution would pass. Mr. Honnecker
Seconded the resolution and signified his
willingness to pay his share of the tax.
Mr. W. S. Moody thought that hard
feelings would be created by this fight‘
between Norwalk and Bridgeport. He
didn't believe Norwalk would be bene-
fitted by the court house to the extent of
its outlay. Taxes were sufficiently high
now, and in his opinion the matter had
better be dropped where it was. '
Mr. John 9° Seymour made a clear ex-
planation of what had been done in Hart-
ford, and said that the majority of the
county delegates were in favor of Nor-
walk.
The resolutions were then passed; the
vote being practically unanimous.
A meeting was then held of the new
committee and F. St. John Lockwood
elected temporary chairman. A subse-
équent meeting was arranged for to be
held at the Mahackemo that evening.

The Old Tavern.
The ‘.‘Old Tavern" had a most prosper-
ous run of patronage last week, closing
up at midnight on Saturday. From the
day of its opening until the hour of its
closing every feature was carried out with-
ut clash or jungle and nothing occurred
to mar the pleasure it afforded and the
grand old structure constantly thronged-
with guests. The last day’s receipts and
registry (Saturday) showed it to be the
lost profitable day of the week and when
the house was closed the register contained
0

That Black chamber.
A trio of brave men went to the Old
Tavern Saturday night and. applied to
Landlord, Hyatt for admission into the
“chamber .of horrors." The benevolent
countenance of Boniface grew serious as
he asked in a mysterious whisper: “Is it
of your own free will and accord? and
can nothing change your purpose in this
perilous adventure ?” The three stout
hearted men asserted their determination
to go the “whole hog or none,” and Mr.
Hyatt summoned Frank Street as their
guide, and asking each iii turn if he had
any message to send to his dear ones at
home, shook them warmly by the hand
and bade them farewell, with some dubi-
orrs instructions to the guide in relation to
what course to pursue in the event of in-
sanity from fright, “sudden death, etc.
Headed by Mr. Street the trio proceeded
to the dark cellarway in somewhat reluc-
tant response to the reassuring summons
to “follow your guide and fear no danger."
Down the narrow stairs they felt their way
through the blackness of Egypt. The
awful suspense of anticipating horrors
certain to be revealed, but in form and
spot and time unknown, made their knees
rnttle together like the bones of a minstrel
“end man." Suddenly the orthodox “pale
blue flame" flickered fitfully before them,
revealing a narrow passage way between
walls of sombre black, at the same time a
sepulchral, chuckling laugh rang out
with a dcinoniacal gleefrom an apparition
in white which seemed to rise up out of
the floor and confront the visitors, with a
face black as midnight and teeth glistening
in its jaws that were relaxed in a diaboli-
cal grin. The lzall, handsome young man
among the visitors shrieked with horror,‘
murmured something about mother, keep-
ing a grave green, and paying a sixty cent
wash bill, and fell in a swoon in the arms
of a reporter. He was quickly brought
to, however by the sprinkling of pepper.
sauce in his eyes, and on learning that the
white robed demon was only black Abe
Wright with his waiter-’s apron on, assert-
ed that he was only fooling anyhow and
wouldn’t back down for any he or she
devil, blagk’, wliitegorjtalian, and and the
procession prdceedc'd to the sanctum sane-
torum or horror of horrors, where the
guide explained the uses to which the
gridiron and other instruments of torture
were put in Masonry, after which he sud-
denly jerked back a curtain and revealed
Capt. Wm. Morgan, the “exposer,” in his
great specialty of having “taken ofi his
flesh and seated himself in his bones” upon
a mammoth gridiron over a big fireplace.
, The visitors were tenderly carried up
stairs and set out in the front yard where the
gentle 'zephyrs‘ of that zephyry evening
soon wafted them back to consciousneSs
-and they skun out.

The sociable of the Union Social Club
in the Opera House last Thursday evening
was not largely attended owing to the un-
pleasant state of the weather. The social
enjoyment that pervaded the occasion,
however, was in no way marred by the
bleakness of the evening out of doors, and
the event maybe 501 down as a success.
The minstrel show to be given by Com-,
pany Fis announced to come off on Tues-
day evening, 30th inst. The boys have
' practiced assiduously for some weeks past
and will, without doubt, acquit them-
selves creditably. They are confident of
a crowded house, and of their ability to
give their patrons their money’s worth of

A magnificent pairof six years old black
steers are on exhibition for a few days at
Dana’s stables and attract considerable .
admiring attention. They were fatted by
J .‘M. Ferris of Stamford, the noted cattle
man, and will be slaughtered by Market-
man H. W. Mitchell. The weight of the
pair is 5,460 lbs., and they are pronounced
the best that ever went across the bridge.
Mr. Mitchell is making a crayon portrait
of these splendid- animals to be hung up

_From the Republican:-—Major Crowel
of this'city, led the grand 'march at the
thirty—first annual ball of Co. G, in.Dan-
bury, Monday night.——Our townsman,
Geo. W. Cram, hasqa contract to build an
immense sewer for a very wealthy resi-
dent iu New Rochelle, N. Y., which has
excited the laborers of that old town tojau
unusual degree; which resulted 'in an in-
dignation meeting of the masses who for-
mulated a set of resolutions expressive of
their feelings and appointed a committee
to present them to Mr. Islin, who received
them cordially, and explained by telling
them that Mix. Cram was the lowest bid-
der. and if he saw it to his interest to
employ Italians to do the work, he had no
right to interpose.—-4The iron posts for

who rejoice at the prospect are as scarce

Lounsbury, Mathewson, & 00., of this
city, made a mammoth shoe—the area of
which was at the time given in these col-
umns—expressly for Fannie Mills of Ohio.
While Fannie was visiting in New York,-
the elegance and immensity of the- shoe

arrived in town, and will be put in posi- -
tron. In several places "on Town House
Hill the grass took fire, but- ready hands
prevented any serious danger.
, At an early stage of the fire an excited
bystander, desirous of playing the role of
hero, was exceedingly anxious for the
welfare of the heavy safe, which was in
the oflice of the burning building, and
stepping out in front of the crowd he
shouted dramatically and with appropriate
gestures : “Are there five men here who .
dare volunteer to follow me and save the
Safe?” Somebody volunteered to turn
the hose on him and squirted him clear
up to Winniparrk. '
The. frozen firemen flitting here and
therein their crystal armor glistening in '
the fitful glare of the flames, made a
weird spectacle—nice to look at, but un-
comfortable for the, pluéky boys.‘ Re-
freshments were abundantly. served out
to them, lrorVevei-,’by the neighbors, who
looked solicitously aftertheir welfare.
The wreck to-day is being visited by
large crowds of people. .Tlre timbers lie
in a confused heap completely borrnd to-
gether in a mass of ice. The carcass of
the. burned horse lies frozen to the ground
beneath a portion of the floor.
Ahuge can of coffee wa! sent out to
the firemen from the “Old Tavern.”
One of the~horses, after being taken
from the burning stables, walked into the
trench or “meat” around the pottery,
about three feet deep, and was cxtricated '
with difficulty. ’ "
One of the Hope hose boys, to avoid
the stream from the Phoenix nozzle which
was giving him a chilling baptism, jumped
into the narrow creek, which is five or.six
feet deep, and came out a. little wetter
than the stream he escaped from.

Frozen and Drowned.
Tire steamer Idlewild Was driven onto
the rocks at Shippan Point, Stamford, by
the terrific wind Thursday night. A pan-
ic was threatened, but the coolness of Cap
tain Clark calmed the passengers and oth-
ers, who remained with the steamer.
Nine persons however, persisted in taking
to a lifeboat which they did against the
captain’s commands. The sea was very
violent and the driving snow was blind-
ing, and the lifeboat was quickly whirled
out of sight of those on the steamer, and
away from the shore. The steamer last
Sunday was floated off the rocksand came
toWilson Poiiit, South Norwalk, where
her cargo was unloaded and transferredto
Bridgeport. Nothing was learned of the
lifeboat or its occupants until last night
when a telegram announced that the boat
.had been found at Old Field Point, Long
Island, but not one of the rash adventurers
was with it. It is considered absolutely
certain that they were frozen stiff within

then cut his own throat. Both died al-
most immediately. As they had no prop-
erty and no interested friends in their
western home they were buried at the ex-
pense of the town. ' Both parties were

dents of Norwalk,iand this tragic end of
their ill-matche irrelationship will startle
