Burgess O’Reilly moved that further
' consideration of the matter be deferred

until the next regular meeting and

The motion for postponement pre-
vailed.

On. motion of Burgess O’Reiily ad-
journment was ordered.

.1 DOG FIGHT.
.Yesterday afternoon the hp was
given out to a chosen few of the sport-
ing fraternity of Norwalk, that a long
anticipated sporting event, a battle be-
tween Norwalk and Stamford dogs,
was to come off early this morning. In

the evening a number of Stamford.

sports came over to witness the affair,
having full confidence in their dog,
and ready to back their opinions with
cash. They mingled in quiet conver-
sation at certain quarters, until 12
o’clock when it was decided to meet 'on
one of the side streets of the borough
and from there start for the fighting
grounds. In a short time after the car-
riages had congregated, the signal was
given, a procession was formed and all
started at a brisk pace, accompanied
by a reporter of the wide awake DAILY
GAZETTI.
the sports that the fight would come 011‘
within a radius of five miles from the
center of the town and the surmise
proved correct, but so well had the
plans been arranged that no one was
able to guess where the affair was to
take place, and up to the hour of start-
ing only three persons were in posses-
sion of the secret, and they the ones who
had completed the arrangements.

After a ride of about twenty minutes
the cavalcade halted at the rendezvous,
the horses were taken care of and all
entered the building. When the lights
were turned on it was found that a
square ring had been made, and every-
thing was in 1eadiness for the fight.
A referee and timekeeper were quickly
chosen and the handlers soon had thei1
dogs ready for the fray. The Norwalk
dog was a well- bred lemon and white,
and had only been in one fight before,
which he won. The Stamford dog was
a fine brindle, and a very likely looking
animal. He had the reputation of be-
ing a “stayer,” having fought a battle
at Larchmont of over two hours’ dura-
tion. 'As ' soon as the crowd had as:
sembled at the ringside, “odds of 5 to
4 on the brindle dog with the curly
tail” were offered by a Stamford sport,
and quickly taken. Net‘much betting
was indulged in, however, the principal
one being a side bet between the hand-
ler» of the Stamford dog and a Norwalk
man When the dogs entered the ‘ring
the ' gerly went for each other, the
brindle setting the pace and foreing
the fighting. It wasa scratch and turn
fight, but from the commencement to
the finish, which was one long round,
only one turn was made. The brindle
fought at a pace that kills, and the Nor-
walkers saw that he could not hold out.
He showed himself a clever wrestler
and in the first part of the battle re-
peatedly threw the lemon and white.
After fighting about forty minutes it
was seen that the brindle began to show
signs of fatigue, while the lemon and
white showed his staying qualities and
began to force the fighting. It was nip
and tuck all around the ring, the brin-
dle for the remainder of the timebeing
the under dog.
made a turn, and it was seen that if
any was made the brindle would be
unable to scratch. After fighting
about one hour and fifty minutes a turn
was made, and after a lapse of twenty-
five seconds the time—keeper called
time, the brindle failed to scratch and
the referee awarded the fight to the
Norwalk dog. -

It was a hotly contested battle, and
was one of the gamest ever seen in this
vicinity and from start to finish lasted
one hour and fifty-two minutes. The
fight was for a stake of $50 a side and
the gate receipts.

STRIKE AT WINNIP.~IUK.-

Yesterday afternoon when the hour
arrived for the resumption of work in
the Norwalk Mills at Winnipauk, twen-
ty-one of the sixty weavers declined
to goto work, saying that the warp
supplied was of such inferior quality
that they were unable to make decent
wages. -

This morning the spinners, eleven in
number, also “knocked off,” as the
phrase is, apparently through sympa-
thy with the striking weavers, but in
reality, probably, because of dissatis-
faction ._ with the_ existing scale of
wages. ' ' I '

Desiring to get at the “true inward-
ness” of the affair, by personal inter-
.views with the parties directly inter-

‘ ested, a DAILY GAZETTE representative
visited the mills at an early hour this
morning and first called on Superin-
tendent Osborn, who has been con-

nected with the mills for- twenty-seven '
In substance he said that a few '

years.
of the weavers complained that the
warp worked hard and refused to re-
main at their looms. Sympathizing
fellow-workmen to the number of twen-
ty-one all told, also went out. This

WEEKLY - NORWALK - GAZETTE.

ant interview with two of the strikers,
whose story is substantially ' as fol-
lows: “We work on the piece system
instead of by the day, and if the mate-
rials supplied are not of good quality
we can earn but little. The twenty-
one weavers who went out have worst-
ed looms; those who remain at work
are on woolens. The warp given to
eleven of us was very poor, and so
much time was lost to keep it in order
that very little money was earned. The
other worsted workers, ten in number,
found no fault with their warp but
went out for prudential reasons. We
have no fault to find with Foreman
Schreyer, who did his best for us.”
Asked whether a meeting had been
called and. a committee appointed to
meet the Mill management; the weav-
ers replied in the negative but that ac-

tion of that character might be taken. ‘

There seems to be no ill feeling, per-
sonally, In this entire trouble, and the
DAILx GAZETTE believes that Mr. Os-
born and his associates will do the

' 'square ‘thing by their employees; that

the latter will be reasonable in their
demands and that the whole thing will
be amicably adjusted in due season.

A new literary club has been started
in town by some enterprising .little
girls between the ages of eight and
eleven. They meet once a week, read
good authors, beginning with Long-
fellow, and talk and play afterward.
They call themselvesT G. L. C. They
have elected as officers, President, Miss
Grace Byington; Secretary, Miss Clara
Betts; Treasurer, Miss Jean L. Grego-

ry, and with the aid of a regular con-

stitution have carried on the affair af-
ter the most approved fashion. Their
badges are quite unique, a large ring
wound with ribbon of different colors,
according to the taste of the wearer,
with a small bell inside. 'Who shall
say that “culchah” is confined largely

W'EDNE sDAY.

AN'CIENT ORDER OF HIBERNLINS

The Ancient Order of Hibernians
had a red letter day, or rather evening
at Norw alk Opera House last night.
Senator John S. Seymour was presi-
dent and conducted the evening’s ex-
ercises with his accustomed aptitude,
wit and rollicking good humor. Pres-
ident pro tem. of the Senate D. M.
Read and several other state senators
came down from Hartford, supported
on both flanks by that thin and ema-
ciated Irish-American from Germany,
Comptroller Nicholas Staub, and all of
whom shed grace and lustre, together
with a large consignment of Hanford’s
very green palms. and plants, to the
stage settings. On the platform, as
Wall flowers, sat our venerable First
Selectman Daskam, ex-U. S. Treasurer
Hyatt, Father Dugan, Dr. Tracey,
Dry-goodsman O’Gorman, O. E Wil-
son, ex-Selectman Burr, Lawyer
Walsh, Barney Tully, Sheriff Toner
and others.

Besides the illustrious array of patri-
otism and statesm'anship, and the beau-
tiful display of potted plants, the stage
was profusely decorated with our glo-
rious starry banner entwined with the
green flag and golden harp of Erin.
The audience was quite large and at-
tentively appreciative throughout.

The first act on the programme was a
song by Miss Finnegan, supported by
Miss Keenan at the piano and St. Ma-
ry’s choir, which was received with tu-
multuous applause. This was followed
by a finely rendered solo by Barney
Tully, after which Senator Seymour.
in a few happy remarks, introduced
Senator Fox, of New Haven, as the
orator of the evening. The Senator’s
address was replete with gems of poetry
and sentiment, and was roundly ap-
plauded. He said he had consented to
come to Norwalk at the earnest solici-
tation of his old friend Father Slocum,
and was more than gratified at the cor-
dial greeting accorded him.

Miss Kate Finnegan was ”next invited
to the platform and gave a solo, “Last
Words of Emmet.” This "was one 'of
the brightest gems of the evening. In
some of the pathetic and tender chords
of Miss Finnegan’s voice, there is a
marvelously melting pathos and melo-
dy, which we have never heard ex-
celled.

Comptroller Staub was next called
cut and made one of his happy Teu-
tonic speeches. He was followed by
Mr. J. W. Hyatt and Senator Holden.
E.‘ J. Hill was then announced as
pledged for a speech but was con-
spicuous by his absence, and to fillsthe

ey-_
rhour’s mentall arran ed programme,
he DAILE GA.
z’E'r'rE was ruthlessly called out toma‘ke
x-Senator Hill’s speech. This was tak-

ing a mean advantage of both the ex-'
Senator and the Scribe, and the audi- '
once must have felt" it.

_ The Scribe’s
gratitude. ato President Seymour for
his courtesy was much akin to poor

idly that it was only with great peril

 

Bridget’s on receiving the gift of a
Christmas goose from her employer.
“Sure, yer honor,” quoth Bridget, “I
shall niver see a goose ag’in in all me
loife, that it won’t make me ‘think av
yeez.’

Senator Houlihan, of Newtown, fol-
lowed in a short and forcible speech,
and Senator Noble E. Pierce concluded
the oratory in a few neat and enter.
taining remarks.

Miss Finnegan, supported by St. Ma-
ry’s choir, then concluded the inter-
esting exercises of the evening, and at
nearly eleven o’clock the audience re-
luctantly departed.

FIRE AT ROTON POINT.

This morning the main building,
large. eating pavilion and 100-foot
bowling alley at Roton Point lay in
ashes.

Between 12 and 1 o’clock Mrs. Starr
Keeler,'who occupied the upper story
of the main building, discovered a'
blaze near the window in the room
where she was sleeping, and aroused
her husband, who is employed as night-
watchman at the Point during the win-
ter season. The flames spread so rap-

to their lives that they, with their child,‘
succeeded in getting down stairs and
out of doors. The fire started in the

northeast corner of the building and

must have been burning some time
when discovered. There is scarcely a
stick left of the entire building this
morning. The confectionery stands
and horee sheds near by escaped.

The flames communicated with the
grass and burned their way to the
crest of the hill near Bell Island. The
furniture, ranges, lishes and other fix-
tures used In conducting the place were
all destroyed.

The large dancing pavilion was at"
one time threatened but a few earnest
workers extinguished the sparks with
buckets of water as soon as they,
struck. 2

Mr. Keeler, the watchman. had but
a part of his household effects in the
building but lost all that there was
therein. The contents of the building
were owned. by the lessees of the Point,
Messrs. Finkenstein & Knubel, and
Elias, a New York brewer It is be—
lieved their loss is covered by insur-
ance. The owners of the Point and all
of the buildings, Messrs. Lowndes &
Raymond, of Rowayton, carried an in-
surance thereon of $6,500. They esti-
mate their loss at between $3, 000 and
$4, 000. ,

Work will be immediately commenc-
ed on the erection of new buildings.
The watchman states that there was no
fire in that part of the building during ,;
the day, and has no doubt as to its be-
ing of incendiary origin.

A number of the large shade trees
were badly scorched and in some in-
stances killed. ' A crowd of fifty or more
stood around the ruins this morning
shiveringly discussing the situation,
all apparently of the same mind, that
it was the work of an incendiary The
flames illumined the'Sound for miles,
and were distinctly seen from hilltops
in this city.

.4 NEW GENTS" CLOTHING STORE.

Francis & Co. is the name of a new
business firm that has just opened a
new and well stocked store of gents’
furnishings and clothing in South Nor-
walk. Mr. Francis is an experienced
dealer in all that appertains to this line
of trade, having long been in the em-
ploy of the great clothing house of Da-
vis, Hopkins & Bates, of Boston. Ev-
ery article in the stock of this firm is
new, fresh and fashionable—no old,
shop-worn goods and garments, and
everything is as represented. For
prices and qualities of their goods they
are not to beoutdone by any of their
competitors, either in this town or else-
where, and a visit to their store and an
examination of their ' stock, will well
repay anyone in want of an outfit.

It is rumored that Bette & Farring-
ton are contemplating stocking their
store with a high grade general assort-
ment of wines and liquors for family
and medicinal uses. ' .

Mr. John Buckley has recovered from
his recent illness sufficiently to be out
and about his rubber works as busy as
a boy' In his teens. ' .

TunnspAir.

. In the Senate yesterday Senator Sey-
mour offered a substltute for the Judson
bill providihg,’ In brief, that the Dem-

'ocratic candidates shall all be seated

and that within ten days General Mer-
win shall bring a complaint before the
supreme court to compel Judge .MOrris
to show cause why he'should not vacate
his office ; thctDr. Berton should bring
a similar complaint against Mr. Alsop,
etc}, etc. The bill further provides
that pending action by the legislature
the acting governor shall make no ap-
pointments Other than staff appOint-
ments. .

In_ closing his remarks SenatOr Sey-
mour characterized the Judson bill as
a measure, providing for a method of
inquiry that was altogether inadmis-.
sable. The opening or the ballot boxes
of the State. be considered especially
dangerous four months after the elec-
tion and especially' 1n view of the pop-
ular feeling on the. subject. ,. p ..

Senator Shumway (Republican
ed Senator Seymour how, under the
constitution, a governor holding over
until his successor is appointed could

 

 

 

possibly be ousted in order to allow a
provisional governinent to be carried
on.

Senator Seymour replied that Mr.
Morris would be governor in all re-
spects ; but if the contest should result
against him he would go out and an-
other come in. This argument marked
the close of business in the Senate un—
til next Wednesday at 1.30 p. m.

In conversation respecting the fore-
going, it is understood that Senator
Seymour has expressed a willingness
to recognize Governor Bulkeley long
enough to allow him to sign the bill.

In the House the principal business
had to do with Comptroller'Staub’s ad-
ministration of his office, House bill
No. 156 concerning payments by 'the
State being under fire. With Judge
Griswold’s amendment substituting
“authorized by statute” for “of claims”
the bill passed and on motion of Mr.
Porter of Pomfret, the house took a
recess until next Wednesday at 1 p. m.

.1 VILLJIN FOILED.
Yesterday morning while Mrs. James
J. Birney of BridgepOrt, was alone in
her house, her husband having gone to

 

‘ his urork in a carriage factory, ”she

heard a knocking at the door. An-
swering the summons she found a
stranger, in the guise of a man, who
entered unbidden and proceeded to
make himself as agreeable as possible,
saying that his name was Carroll and
that he represented a New York piano
agency. Mrs. Birney promptly inform-
ed “Carroll” that she wanted to make
no purchases, and as by this time his
attentions had becOme offensive he was
requested to leave the house. There-
upon, according to Mrs. Birney’s state-
ment, the fellow struck her' on the
breast, as she was sitting upon a chair,
and subsequently threw her upon a
bed, but she successfully resisted his
assault until he became frightened
and fled, and she sank into unconscious-
ness.
When her husband came from work at
noon, Mrs. Birney told him what had
occurred, and last evening when Mrs.
Birney had recovered sufficiently to
accompany him, he went to police
headquarters and made the facts known.
’ Special officer. Hayes, detailed to
work 11p the case, visited the Atlantic
hotel and from the description given
him, recognized one George W. Hart,
J r., as the offender. He easily persuad-
ed Hart to accompany him to the rail-
road station where he was quickly iden-
tified by Mrs. Birney and placed under
arrest.
The culprit is well known in this sec-
tion, although living in North Wash-
ington avenue, Bridgeport. Until

March 1st last, he was a United States

Express messenger, running between
South Norwalk and Danbury; From
here he went to New Haven to work
for the Atlantic Gate Company. '

-1 VICIOUS DOG.

The old man Darney of Silver Mine,
who sells vegetables about the town,
entered the yard of Mrs. Allen near the
corner of Chapel and \Vater streets,
yesterday afternoon, when Mrs. Allen’s
dog flew at him and bit his right hand
very severely. He had Dr. Tracy cau-
terize the laceratedwound and it is now
doing well. Oflicer John Gormley went
down to shoot the dog, but he could not

.be found, the statement being made

that he had been shot. It was learned
this statement was not true, and so Mr.
Darney has employed Lawyer Warner
to bring suit against Mrs. Allen for
damages, as the dog is known to be
vicious, having previously bitten sever-
al others, it is claimed.

D1 ED .4 T .v INET1’-FI VE.

Mrs. Azuba Starkey. the oldest per-
son in Essex, died on Monday. For
ninety-five years she had lived in that
vicinity, and was known to almost ev-
ery person in the county. She was the
only person in the State known tohave
ever spoken with that queer old char-
acter, “The Leather Man,” who for
thirty years made tri-weekly peregrina-
tions through this section. -“The Leath-
er Man ” made it his custom to always
stop over night at Mrs. Starkey’s resi4
dence, rolling himself up in a blanket
and sleeping. on the floor beside the
stove.

BARNUM’S GYMNASIUM.

One of the largest audiences that has
ever gathered in Barnum’s spacious
building in Bridgeport packed the gal-
leries and- all the standing space last
evening, the'occasion being the open-
ing of the annual exhibition. - The en-
tertainment was much enjoyed, and the
performers were repeatedly encored.

 

In the course of his speech in the.

Senate yesterday Mr. . Seymour said
that in his opinion Mr. Bulkeley held
the. office of. governor by force and not
by right, and that in his (Mr.- Sey-
mour’s) opinion Judge Morris would be
justifiedlin setting up a dual govern-
ment in this State. He said this was
spoken after due deliberation.

Freddy, the three-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. John Waterbury, "of Bridge-
port, fell out offia second story window
at his parents’ residence about 11.30 yes?
terday morning. Dr. Holmes was sum-
moned and found the child sufi‘ering
frOm internal injuries. 'It' is feared

it will die.

Mrs. Esther Lambert, widOw of the .

late Samuel Lambert, died at Wilton,
this morning, of bronchitis, aged 80

’ years.

 

FRIDAY.
THE SEYMO U}: SUBSTITUTE.

At 5 o’clock Wednesday the Senate
reconsidered the vote passed earlier iii
the afternoon to adjourn for a week,
out of compliment to Senator Sey-
mour, who expressed an earnest de-
sire to have his amendment passed up-
on, and when the “grave and rever-
end” Senators were called to order
yesterday forenoon there was quite
lively colloquy over the Judson bill
and the Seymour substitute, the latter
being “the question before the house”
during the afternoon session.

Senator Bridge (Republican,) object-
ed to the substitute bill in that it com-
pelled the Republicans to tell a lie.
They did not believe there had been
an election and could not admit that
in November last the Democratic can-
didates received a majority of the votes
cast.

Senator Mead (Republican) upheld
the Republican position and ridiculed
the idea that there could be no appeal
from the decision of the moderators.
of the people cannot trust the judges of
the supreme court, whom can they
trust?

Senator Garvin (Republican) scored;
the secret ballot law which, he said,
had caused all this trouble, and pledged
his support to any good law that might
be brought forward.

Senator Seymour spoke ea1nestly in
behalf of the measure, says the legis-
lative correspondent of the Springfield
Republican, but was coldly received by
his colleagues, several of whom open-
ly said that the Republicans could not
'conscientiously entertain it, owing to
the provision calling for the seating of
the Democratic candidates pending a
decision.

Senator Thayer offered the following,
amending the Seymour Substitute. -

Resolved by the Senate. that the
substitute for House bill No. 155 be
amended by striking out sections 1,0 a,
3, 4 and o, and to substitute the1e101
the following:

Sec. 1. Section 253 of the 0'ener a1
statutes is hereby amended so that the
1same, when amended, shall read as fol-

ows

Section 253. In the election of gov-
ernor, treasurer, secretary and comp-
troller, a majority of the votes shall be
necessary for a choice; and if no per-
son has a majority of the votes given for
either of said officers the General As-
Sembly shall fill the vacancy. Pr ovid-
ed, that whenever the General Assem-
bly shall fail to declare elected, 01 to
elect any person to either of the said
offices on the first or second calendar
days of its session the person who
shall have received the 0ureatest num-
ber of votes respectively for said offices
at the general election held on the
Tuesday after the first Monday of No—
vember next preceding, shall respect.
ively be the governo1, lieutenant-gov-
ernor, treasurer, secretary and comp-
troller.

Sec. 3. This act shall take effect
from its passage and shall apply to the
persons voted for at the general elec-
tion held on the Tuesday after the 111 st
Monday of November, 1890.

The Thayer resolution was tabled for
printing and the Senate adjourned till
Tuesday at 12 o’clock, when the Sey-
mour substitute bill will be made the
order of the day.

The skeleton of a man was found yes-
terday by some workmen who were dig-
ging to lay water p1pes. The bones
were only eighteen inches below the
surface, and nothing like the remains
of a coffin was to be discovered. It is
thought that the man met his death
about fifteen years ago, but who he was
is a profound mystery.
