WESTPOR I!

The election of Monday was quiet. A
small vote was polled. The secret ballot
feature caused many to kick when they
reached the polls, and some declined to
vote.

At the town meeting a tax of ten mills,
same as last year, was voted.

The grading of Burr avenue by contrac—
tor John Gault is in progress and is an
improvement which the people who do,
and who do not, go to church on that
thoroughfare will appreciate.

Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Adams who have
been summering at the Brinkcrhoii’ place,
purchased by them, expect to return to
their home in Brooklyn for the winter, on
Friday.

The Westport Historical society met on
Saturday afternoon. Secretary Rev. A.
N. Lewis read an interesting paper.

Frank Sturges and wife were serenaded
Thursday evening of last week by Heine’s
band of South Norwalk,to which Mr.
Sturgcs belongs, on the occasion of their
moving into a new dwelling built by them
near Memorial church. The occasion was
in fact a house warming.

Miss Beda L. Arnold and Miss South-
worht, telegraph operators in the Standard

ively, in Bridgeport, spent Sunday at the

Laura Chapman.

On his way to witness the Cedar Point
regatta, Wednesday, which was indefi-
nitely postponed, Mr. Cornelius Jelliff’s
surf boat “Belle,” of Westport, was cap-
sized at the mouth of Saugatuek river.

Besides Harry McDonough Post, No.
63, G. A. R., a large number of citizens
visited Stratford, Thursday, to assist that
town in celebrating its 250111 anniversary
and to unveil and dedicate its soldiers’ and
sailors’ monument.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fable of King
street have added to their reSidence a fine

in inviting style.

Mr. and Mrs. George W. Mills are vis-
iting in Brooklyn.

A harvest home festival for the benefit
of the Saugatuck M. E. church in the old
rubber factory, Opened last night and will
close to-night.

From a weather record accurately kept
in town (my record) a few facts are pre-
sented which may interest those who have
settled to the belief that the late summer,
and this fall, thus far have been the most
stormy and unpleasant of any since the 4
time of Noah and the ark. From June lst
to October 1st, inclusive, 123 days, 73
have been foggy or cloudy. 49 rainy, and
50 clear or clearing. There were 13 thun-
der storms. In September there were 10
clear days only. The temperature during
September averaged at sunrise 60 degrees;
11001174; sunset 67. The highest at sun-
rise was 73, on the 17th; at noon 88 on the
6th; at sunset, 82, on the 6th. The wind
was caster northeast on nine days. July
gave us 17 days upon which either rain
fell or were cloudy or fogg ', the wind be-
ing east or north-east on 7. days. The
temperature for that month averaged at
sunrise, 66 degrees; noon, 82; sunset, 78.
The highest at sunrise was 74, the 30th;
at noon, 96, the 30th; at sunset, 86, on
the 8th.

A large audience attended Assumption
church, Thursday evening last at the ded-
ication of the new and elegant pipe organ
just introduced there. The choir of St.-
John’s R. C. church, New Haven, present-
ed a fine musical programme.

Mr. and Mrs. James E. Lees have re-
turned to this place after a long absence.
Mr. Lee’s health is improving. ,

The death of Mrs. Augustus Phillips nee
‘Mosie” Richards of this place, took place
in Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 17th, and ac-
cording to the Union of Sunday, 22d, pub-
lished in that city, it appears the deceased
either committed suicide or took an over-
dose of morphine which drug she had for
years been in the habit of using. Mrs.

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9,1889.

isk Kemper, of this place, reports that he
has in his possession as her conservator,
appointed by probate court, the sum of
$8,132.48 belonging to her estate. The
full story of Mrs. Phillips would be read
bya large number, but the features of it
are too dirty and revolting for a respecta-
ble paper, and hence I refrain from wri-
ting them.

From the followmg it may be seen that
interest in bicycles and bicycling in this
town is very marked. Not only young
men ride but some of the old ones have
caught the infection. The styles of wheel
used embrace the Columbia, Star, Victor,
Ideal and Safety, the latter leading. Those
riding the Safety are George Kirk, Louis
Touquet, George Merwin, E. C. Smith,
Thomas Buck, F. C. Coley, T.C. Stcarnes,
Fred. Bradley, F. M. Raymond, Royal
Raymond, \V. G, Staples, LeGrand Can-
non, Charles Buek, J r., Edward Hubbell,
Joseph Bolan, W. E. Nash, Austin Wake-

tin Chase, Robert Craufurd, the brothers
Bedford, Mr. Jennings, Joshua Coley,
Mr. Sherwood, Mr. Burnham. Those ri-
ding other wheels are Frederick Salmon,
Clark Barnum, Alex. F. Downes, Charles
Wheeler, Willis Jones, Henry Bucking-
ham, Stanley Fillow, William Wheeler,
Frederick Touquet, Thornton Belden,
William Marvin, James Welsh, John
Campbell, Frederick Beers, Clarence Run-
dle, Edward Saxton, George Riehmiller,
A. Shepard.

Where all the apples come from is a sort
of a mystery, but Mr. Lloyd has'averaged
a big run of cider daily since the introduc-
tion of his new patent hydraulic mill. He
manages to get away with a barrel in
about twenty minutes.

Mr. Andrew C. Nash picked ripe rasp-
berries from his garden October 2d. They
were distributed among his near neigh-
bors who enjoyed them at the tea-table
that day. in

The “traveling boy” presented to the
board of trade by John Wood, was drawn
Saturday night by Mr. H. H. Belden on
ticket No. 65. There were seventy-six
tickets sold. “PAUL.”

SOUTI-I-NOR WALK. .

The latest fad with many of the younger
belles of the city is to wear a diminutive
watch fastened on a huge piece of leather
buckled on the wrist. '

Interest in the result of the town and
city elections has absorbed the attention
of so many that there is little else ofa
public nature to chronicle.

A change in the time table of the New
York and New Haven road was made on
Sunday, but does not affect trains to or
from South Norwalk.

The cause of temperance, pure and
simple, is certainly making rapid strides
in South Norwalk. The room of the
Gospel Temperance Reform Association,
on the carriage bridge is well filled at
every public meeting, and on Friday eve-
ning eight young men came forward and
signed the pledge, encouraging the labor-
ers in the cause, and more than repaying
them for their time and efforts. Mr.
Lawrence conducted exercises on Sunday,
making them very interesting and profit-
able.

There are thousands of true men in
Connecticut as well as in other states who
are in favor of prohibition, but prefer not
to carry it into politics. This the Third
party saints do not like. It is doubtful if
there is anything in the universe fashioned
in a style to suit a Third party prohibi-
tionist’s critical taste. Though the best
element of the town and city were nomi-
nated for public office, none were pure
and refined enough for them, and they
must needs make a selection of the saints
for their sufl'rages.

BEDDING.

Mr. J. H. Jennings, who has had charge
of the topographical survey of the state,
which is now in progress, reports as fol-
lows concerning the heights in the town :
The highest ridge is Couch Hill, being
840 feet above mean sea level; Redding
Center, at the Methodist church, is 680
feet ; the hill south of the house of Mr. W.
H. Hill, and belonging to him, is 830 feel;
Bedding Ridge, at Episcopal church, 710
feet; highest point of the ridge, 750 feet;
Georgetown station, 308 feet; Branchville
station, 342 feet; Sanford Station, 437
feet; Redding station, 410 feet; Pickett’s
Ridge, 720 feet; Lonetown, 750 feet; San—
ford town, 420 feet.

lev. W. J. Jennings, as pastor, and Mr.
S. B. Gorhani, as delegate, attended the
meeting of the Fairfield East Association
at the First church in Danbury last Week
Tuesday.

Thursday evening, at the Methodist
church, Mrs. Rev. D. Taylor delivered a
very interestinglceture on “What I saw
in South America.” There was also con-
siderable singing by persons from the
place and from Long Ridge. A fair sized
audience was in attendance.

There was an easterly iaiu storm Sun-
day. Church attendance was small.

know that Carter’s Iron Pills will relieve
her. Now why not be fair about it and

The town voted to fund and cancel
$10,000 floating bonds. The selectmen
issued $11,000; cancelled orders at bank,
$6,300; ditto to M. Fairty $1,500, and
spent the balance, and still they are not
happy.

The town has collected $3,729.45 of the
present tax book of $15,452.34, leaving
only $11,524.89 for next year’s income
and no bonds to sell.

At one cent a line the talk about the
new manner of voting would have made
any correspondent rich, but the Messenger-’3
war cry was “no license, no license, no
license.” One would think there were no
other interests in this town, and that
should we once vote license, everybody,
including the Messenger and its editor,
would be so tempted that general ruin
would fall on this beautiful town and
everybody would get demoralized.

Mr. William Cody, not Buffalo Bill, but
the young gentlemen who delivered mails
and telegrams and base ball news, has
retired from business and resumed his
studies. '

The Birdsall House continues full. Its
patrons can get full of all good eatables,
good air, good everything, except not a
drop to drink.

Miss Johanna Schuster and Horace
Narcross, of Nantucket, were married on
Sunday at the home of the bride’s parents
and left for their island home- Lucky
Narcrass—we shower our lucky rice.

The town report was read from manu-
script, the selectmen not having had time
since September 1 to have it put in print.
It shows a deficit on the yeai’s business Of
about $3,000.

Thomas McGratli, Mrs. Bridget Mc-
Grath, six little McGraths and ninety-year-
old nurse have moved into the upper
rooms of the Post Office building.

R. C. Raymond will open a market in
the basement of the Post Office building,
and thus increase the attractions of the

' post ofiice.

Judge Lambert is having a veranda
built across the front of his cottage on
East avenue.

Rev. Mr. Otis, student of Yale Theo-
logical Seminary, filled the pulpit of Rev.
Mr. Hopkins, on Sunday, who was prob.
ably just passing mid-ocean on his way to
Europe.

A hop was enjoyed at Sunny Mead, the
residence of Dr. E. W. Lambert Saturday
evening.

Gershom Lockwood, for many years the
fashionable merchant tailor of Broadway,
New York, Was in town spending the
week with his brother, Frederick W.
Lockwood, at the old Lockwood cottage,
East avenue.

F. W. Lockwood expects his wife, two
daughters, son-in-law and two grand-
children home from Europe the present
week. -

Stephen B. Hoyt, the only Stephen, wil
attend the Danbury fair in the capacity of
general purveyor of entertainment or some
other capacity. ‘

Mr. W. E. Bond, of the Maple Oenoak
Ridge road, will occupy the cottage of
Artist John Rodgers, on the same road,
for the winter.

The splendid four-in-hand of Dr. Willard
Parker has not yet gone to the city.

Postmaster Monroe’s horse ran away,
throwing him out, but by almost a mir-
acle he was safely landed in a bank of
sand. His horse was caught after run-
ning three-quarters of a mile, and brought
back, and he continued his drive to Nor-
walk to visit Mrs. L. C. Green and son,
his daughter and grandson.

Highways:—Ncw Canaan to Norwalk,
fairly good when not too wet or too dry.
When they are too bad it is said to be all
on account of the road machine.

Business is so driving here that some of

the factories, the base ball club, and the
printing presses were hard at work all day
Sunday.
If Mr. Purdy is elected selectman again
he has promised to curb and gutter the
main street. “Ante” promises don’t al-
ways come home to roost.

The income of the town the past year
by the report was $38,634.81; expenses,
$38,634.81. But that is only bookkeeping.
The amount raised by tax in 1887 for ex-
penses of 1888 was $15,389.88; amount
received from school fund, $1,156 50; dog
tax, $250; county fines, $124.50, with
some other pauper accounts, etc., mak-
ing actual income, $20,409.47; actual
expenditures, $22,845.43.

W'ILTOA’.

The “town meeting” passed off quietly
and the republicans captured all the Offices
that the legislature in its beneficence had
not given to the democrats, by about
twenty majority. The principal oflicers
elect are: Sclectmen——-N. M. Belden and
Joseph 0. Dikcman and John Gorham;
town clerk—H. E. Chichcstei'; treasurer-—
S. 1’. Fitch; assessors—~13. F. Brown, S.
W. Ruscoe and J. S. Godfrey; board of
relief—Samuel Belts, Justus K. Raymond
and Sherman Partrick. The vote on the
Constitutional amendment was: yes, 54;
no, 124. A tax of eleven mills was laid;
the Wilton-Ridgefield boundary wasleft to
the discretion of Messrs N. M. Belden and
Charles Cannon; the New Canaan roads
which maybe changed by the construction
of the reservoir is to be left to the select-
men. The highways are to be worked by
the seleclmen at an expense not tO exceed
$1,400. The new law worked without
much friction although before the next
election the the retiring closets should be
so arranged that there would be no crowd-
