he hardest wheeling on the route was

West Avenue to be imprOved.
- The highway committee of the bor-
ough is expected to lower and make
uniform the grade of \Vcst avenue from
the residence of Dr. Baldwin down to
St. Mary’s church, prior to its being
macadamized. President J. IV. Hyatt
of the Horse Railway Co. proposes to
promptly take ac vantage of this grati-
fying fact and not only lower his tracks
as he will be compelled to do, but also
to extend his present switch, near St.
Mary’s church, up to the foot of the
Isaacs hill where the cut-down is to
commence. Even this slight extension
of the upper switch will prove of very
great convenience to the public, inas-
much as it will enable the horse cars to
remain from-two to four minutes long-
er at South Norwalk awaiting belated
trains. It would seem, to outsiders, the
part of wisdom, and of still greater
public advantage, if the borough were
to order this switch extended hither-
ward to the Danbury RB. track bridge.
But the one essential fact is undisput-
ed that our street railway can never ful—
fill the whole public requirements of it,
until its three switches are. turned into
one continuous dbuble track from the
Nor-walk hotel to Crofut- & Knapp’shat
shop at South Norwalk.
Mr. A. J. Hutchinson is homcward
bound from Florida to lower and re—lay
the track from the Catholic church to.

yesterday. He was born in Connecti—

Mr. and Mrs. Hanford of South \Vil-

their horse took fright and ran down
Merwin street and collided with a tree
before he could be-controlled, but for-
tunately doing no serious harm.

years, was one of the bravest of the
brave fellows who went out in the

be borne in mind.

FRIDAY.
The Connecticut Dairymen’s associa-
tion has decided not to have an exhibit
at the State fair, at Meriden.
Two lengths of hose burst at the
Gregory fire yesterday, and the de-
partment now has only 800 feet left fit
for use, a very deplorable condition of
affairs. » g -. _
At the special borough meeting yes-
terday, held at, instead of in, the town
house, Warden Keeler presided and
Judge Alfred E. Austin acted as clerk.
It was voted to extend the water'main
into and through Maple avenue, East
Norwalk, and that the borough borrow
a sum not to exceed $1,500, or as much
thereof as may be necessary for that
purpose and charge the same to the
water fund of the borough.
A curious incident connected with
Selectman Daskam’s recovery of the
value of his stolen property, which
gives an interesting insight to his
methodical way, is a record in his 1864
diary under date of August 24th, giving
an account of his robbery and his
efforts to recover his property from a
young man he had put every confi-
dence in and whom he had'l’oved and
t: usted as a brother. His entry in this
year’s diary under date of April 16th,
will be an intensely interesting sequel
to that of twenty-seven years ago for
those who may come after him to read.
The supply wagon of the fire depart-
ment figured in a catastrophe yester-
day. “Monk” was on hand with his
usual promptness and started in wild
helter shelter for the scene of the fire.
thile flying up Main street, the load
in the wagon was increased by a couple
of newspaper scribes jumping aboard.
One, however, too elongated to get
entirely into the vehicle dragged his
feet along the ground for some distance,
and when about 50 yards from the fire
he tried to draw himself further in, two
of the wheels broke off and the two
newspaper men were hurled in one di-
rection, and the horse dragged “Monk”
and what was left of the wagon in the
other. What with the hose being too
short and the breaking of the supply
wagon, our plucky fire department is
playing in hard luck. The new supply
wagon, which is being built in South
Norwal-k, is promised May lst.

Fourth Anniversary of Y. M. C. A-
The celebration of the fourth anni-
versary of the Young Men’s Christian
association was commenced with ap.
propriate exercises Sunday afternoon
and evening, and will be continued this
evening. A speczal service for men
was held in the Opera House at 4
o’clock. Mr. Warner Van Norden of
New York city giving an address upon
“A Trial by Jury. ”
The evening service, at the Congre-
gational church, consisted of a union
one of all the churches. The audience
assembled was a large one and the
exercises were of unusual interest. The
programme as printed in Saturday’s
GAZETTE was carried out under the
direction of President Wigham. The
singing of the choir was good, and
during the service Miss Fritz was heard
in a solo to the pleasure of those pre-
sent. From the report of the general
secretary, read by himself, the follow-
ing was gleaned: The work during the
past year has been one of steady pro-
gress and stands better in the com—
munity to-day than ever before. The
social work has yielded good results. In
the physical department a marked im-
provemcnt can be seen in many of the
members. The evening classes have
proved themselves in the good member -
ship and good work done. Instruction
has been given in German, bookkeep-
ing, mechanical drawing, penmanship
and stenography, and fifty-two different
young men were enrolled in these
classes. During the year fifty-two song
services have been held with an average
attendance of 65. The membership of
the association to-day is 308, of the
Ladies’ auxiliary 137, and of the. Junior
department 45, making a sum total of
490, and a net gain during the year of
86. In the association there are 93
mechanics, 84 clerks, 09 merchants, 45
students and professional men, and 17
members of leisure; 5 members reside
out of town, 28 in East Norwalk, 42 in
South Norwalk and 233 in Norwalk.
The report closed with an appeal to the
members for their hearty co-operation
in the year to come that the association
may achieve glorious success.
After singing Bev.‘ \V. P. Elsdon,
pastor of the Baptist church in \Vater-
bury, delivered an address upon the
value of young men to the community
and the great need of their being saved
from ruin.
Mr. Thomas Cochran, of Minneapolis,
Minn~., a member of the Y. M. C. A.
International committee, followed in
an address upon the objects and work
being done by the Young Men’s Chris-
tian association from a business man’s
standpoint.
Following the address Secretary
Simons gave a brief statement of the
finances of the association for the past
fifteen months, and 'called for a good
collection. After the singing of Coro-
nation the benediction was pronounced
by Rev. S. B. S.”Bissell.
This evening at 6:30 a banquet will be
served to the association by the Ladies’
Auxiliary in the association hall and all
members are earnestly requested to be
present. At 7:30 will be held the fourth
annual meeting of the association when
the reports from tllevarious committees
will be read and officers elected for the
ensuing year.
The 4th anniversary celebration of
the Young Men’s Christianjiisssriciiition
was concluded Monday night with the
holding of the annual meeting. At 6:30
the Ladies’ auxiliary served a sumptu-
ous repast in Y. M. C. A. hall. Tables
were spread for one hundred and
twenty-five, presenting a fine appear-
ance. Decorations of potted plants
were furnished from Hanford’s Floral
hall, while beside each plate was placed
a beautiful button hole bouquet, much
to the delight of the members. After
supper was over, President \Vigham
rapped for order and called upon Rev.
A. Wheaton of the South Norwalk Bap-
tist church to offer prayer. Next came
the election of new members and 22
new names were presented and the
persons elected to membership in the
association. The reportsof the various
standing committees were read and
placed on file, as was also the annual
report of the treasurer which showed
the receipts and expenditures of the
year to have been $32,740.10.
The next order of business was the
election of officers, which resulted in
the unanimous election of the following
gentlemen: President, Stephen H.
Holmes; vice-presidents, Ira Cole, .4».
