NORWALK'G-AZETTE, 'WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 16,1889.
WESTPORI!
It is ascertained that about the only
opposition in the town meeting to the
town paying the expense of running the
new street lamps came from Greens Farms.
Further that the chief force against the
lamps was precipitated by an individual
who lays claim to the possession of vast
brain power, so much power indeed that
he has been known personally to have
asserted that what he did not know about
how to run a town, make a speech, con-
duct a debate and weed an onion patch
was not worth knowing. This public
improvement opposer (unless there is a
Greens Farms end to it) has a fine Web-
sterian developed head, which, when seen
in a public meeting like that in which the
aforesaid lamp hostility was fired off,
might impress a listening stranger with
the idea that that head with its noble brow
was formidable if not dangerous, but those
who know the owner of it know that form
is not necessarily substance, (the mush-
room by example), and that while the
words which come from it are loud. and
gruff, few have fear as to the effect. This
person was voted for and elected to office
on Monday, the 6th, and he pays a tax on
property owned by him. That, in part,
is his warrant for the said attack. But,
other taxpayers larger than he say West-
port shall have the street lamps. The
question is, what is the man with the
head Websterian going to do about it.
Whispers from ‘t-he locality of his abode
are to the effect that, if those lamps are
run by town money when he don’t want it
done, Green’s Farms will memorialize the
next General Assembly praying to be set
off from Westport and be annexed to Fair-
field. This causes the sensible element in
threatened Westport to snicker, for they
know that, even though the man with the
head Websterian gets to Hartford with his
bill for divorce, a decree will not be issu-
ed on the statement of facts he may make,
but the other fellows will be asked for
their narrative. These “other fellows”
are just funny enough to declare that they
would like to see Greens Farms, led by the
by the man with the head Websterian try
this scheme. Fighting it, as they cer-
tainly will, would be a test of their affec-
I. tion, for they love Greens Farms, and
:2 would not for four dollars and a half, or
E: even a larger sum, permit her to “tear

E herself away.”
Mr. M. L. Filley of the Saugatuck Iron
E Works, says of the $300 exhibit made by
: him at the Danbury fair, enough articles
were sold to pay the outlay and a hand-
some bonus. One range was sold three
. times. He thinks the fair a great institu-
tion.
Mr. E. S. Wheeler, J r., is said to have
caught with hook and line, under or near
the railroad bridge, a sea bass weighing
four and a half pounds.
The fourth annual meeting of the Fair-
'field County Yale Alumni association will

iattend will be at the splendid home near
iby of Dr. and Mrs. Eno, at 12:30. After-
o-on session at 2:00.

Public sentiment is strongly in favor of

ti", bould be change in the details of arrange-
ent for doing the voting; The booths,

11 right, but the enclosure should be en-
rged. As it was on the 6th, the room

Our Bridgeport Letter.
A sad and fatal accident happened a
few days since to George W. Lewis, who
fell fromascaffold where he was super-
intending the painting of a building and
was killed.
The Farmer says that the Yost Writing
Machine 00. still continue their large out-
put, placing on the market from one hun-
dred to one hundred and twenty-five ma-
chines weekly. New machinery has been
ordered, and when placed in operation
the weekly output will be increased to
one hundred and fifty machines. It will
be remembered that ex-Gov. Lounsbury
and his brother George are interested in
this company, and since they have taken
hold of it the business has been very
largely increased.
The reception tendered the Hon. P. T.
Barnum, at the rooms of the Seaside Club
On Tuesday evening last, was a grand
success. The spacious rooms of the club
were beautifully decorated with flowers
and the American flag. Conspicuous
among the decorations was a handsome
floral piece with the word “Welcome.”
Another little boy named Weed, from
Norwalk, died of diphtheria last week at
the Stratford Home. This makes five deaths
from this terrible disease. All the other
children are now convalescent, and it is
sincerely hoped that no further trouble
will overtake these little ones, and that
the managers of the Home will soon be
able to vacate the tents they have been
obliged to occupy and return into the
home again. '
A change in the Bridgeport ticket office
and Bridgeport Gas Light company will
take place November lst. Frank B. Sam-
mis, the genial and popular ticket agent,
who is a Norwalk boy and has been in the
employ of the Consolidated road for about
twenty years, has resigned his posrtion,
he having been elected treasurer of the
Bridgeport Gas Light company to take
the place of L. K. Van Keuren, who re—
signed to form a copartnership in the
banking house of T. L. Watson 85 Co.
He will have full charge of the Bridgeport
office. It is understood that Mr. Beers,
Mr. Sammis’ assistant, will succeed him
as ticket agent at the depot.
A serious explosion occurred in the
factory of the Knapp & Cowles Hardware
company last Tuesday afternoon, but for-
tunately no lives were lost, although two
or three persons were quite seriously in-
jured. The cause of the explosion was
the generating of gas in the Japanning
oven. The building was nearly ruined by
the shock. The root was lifted from its
position, windows were shattered and
doors broken from their hinges and hurled
into the street. The building took fire,
but our eflieient fire department soon ex-
tinguished the flames. The loss is about
$3,000. '
The members of Trinity church were
somewhat surprised at Some of the re-
marks made by their rector, Rev. Lewis
N. Booth, at the close of last Sunday
evening’s service. It seems that some of
the parishioners had criticised him on
account of his ritualistic form of worship.
Some one had informed Mr. Booth of
this fact. He said he had heard of such
criticisms of his actions, and it was his
nature to forget and ignore all such per-
sonal attacks. and smile on those who
offered them. He said he had performed
his duties to the best of his knowledge
and could do no more, and that he should
be absent during the month of October
and, as other clergymen would occupy his
pulpit during his absence, they were at
liberty to choose another rector if any
were found more suitable than himself.
This is plain talk from a clergyman, but
they do not know whether it is meant as
his resignation or not. Mr. Booth is
acknowledged to be a talented young man
and has a great many friends in his church
and community. '

The most important advertisement to
the taxpayers of the city, which appeared
in the daily city journal, was that headed,
“I, the undersigned.” '
Now that it has been demonstrated that
one-half of the legal voters are in favor of
the principles of temperance, and favor all
proper laws which can be enforced, how
unnecessary and unwise the action of the
saintly 96 appears.
You who ride to and from this city
have a little patience, and you probably
will have before Thanksgiving day a sec-
tion at leasttof Main street of the best road

A very necessary and useful room has
just been fitted up in a- tasty manner by
the order of the Old Well H. and L. 00.,
to be used as a “bath and dressing room”
and is replete with every convenience for
these purposes. The cost of the work was
about $500. Some taxpayers mightgrum-
ble at this large expenditure, but in this
case they need not, as the expense was
paid by the company. ,
Some of the 700 who voted for the
Growing
amendment evidently have resolved to do,
something now, to further the temperance
work, and are willing to join their efforts
_with others who have been instrumental
in doing much good in the gospel temper-
ance association. At the meeting on Sun-
day many new faces, were seen, and the ,
speaking and singing showed a new life
and interest in the work. Rev. Mr. Tuck-
er of the Advent church, East Norwalk,
is greatly aiding the cause.

The Messenger favors macadamizing
Main street and Railroad avenue. We
wonder if it would kindly estimate the
cost.
B. D. Piirdy, selectman for the 14th
time, pledged himself to pave the gutters
of the main street if re-elected. October
is a good month for the job and the farm-
ers want to get rid of their surplus cobble
stones.
Why don’t they come? Why don’t the
borough enforce its own rules? Why is
the Messenger mad ? Why should it be ?
Why ought it not to be happy ?

A Woman’s Discovery.
“Another wonderful discovery has been
made, and that too by a lady in this coun-
try. Disease fastened its clutches upon
her and for seven years she withstood its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed incessantly
and could not sleep. She bought of us a
bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for '
Consumption and was so much relieved
on taking first dose that she slept all night
and with one bottle has been miraculously
cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.”
