BURIED WITH HONORS.
Thai-ruheril of Major John C. Kin-
ney at Hartford,
The pneral of the late Major John
C, Kuney, commander of the Gov-
ernd’s Foot Guard and postmaster at
Hartford, was one of the most notable
public and military funerals that have
taken place in this state in years. At
the house only the relatives and near
friends were present. The casket was
borne to thehearse by six of the letter
carriers and then turned over to the
Governor’s Foot Guard and the six
sergeants of the company acted as
bearers.
The twelve honorary pall bearers
were as follows: Senators Platt and
Hawley; Col. Frank W. Cheney, presi-
dent of the Army and Navy club, of
which Major Kinney was secretary;
Judge Nathaniel Shipman of the United
States court; Adjutant General Embler
of the governor’s staff; Dr. W. A. M.
Wainwright; Chaplain Frank Wells of
Brewster. N. Y. ; Judge V. B. Cham-
berlain of New Britain ; Colonel J ohnv
Tweedy, postmaster at Danbury; Sam-
uel H. Seymour of New York ; Henry
E. Taintor, representing his Grand
Army post, and Charles H. Clark, his
associate for eighteen years on the
Content.
At the armory the ceremonies were
most impressive. The armory had been
tastefully draped in mourning, _ the
heavy folds of black being relieved by
the stars and stripes of the, national
flag. Heavy black draperies covered
the fronts of the galleries and fell in
long masses over the side of the stage.
The armory was packed to the doors,
many being unable to gain admission.
Rev. Mr. Braden read the Episcopal
service and Rev. Leon Walker reviewed
the life history of the deceased, paying
the highest tribute to his character as
a man and friend. The funeral oration
was delivered by General Joseph R.
Hawley, who spoke of Major Kinney’s
qualifications as a soldier and journal-
ist. When the procession formed to go
to the cemetery these military organi-
zations were in line : Artillery of Bos-
ton, Second Separate company Gov-
ernor’s Foot Guard, escorting hearse,
Veteran corps, Governor’s Foot Guard.
the Robert 0. Tyler post, Nathaniel
Lyon post, Army and Navy club vet-
erans, Thirteenth regiment, C. N. G.,
Sons of Veterans. Major George B.
Fisher was marshak A squad from the
Foot Guard paid the usual military
honor of firing three volleys over the
grave.
The Parallel. _
Very strong objections cropped out
to the parallel railroad to New York,
which has 'been proposed under the
name of the New York, Bridgeport and
Eastern, and which was yesterday given
a hearing before the railroad commis-
sioners. This it is charged will not only
run right through the middle of the
new St. Lawrence cemetery, destroy-
ing the plan for the Derby avenue en-
trance, but it will cut up the beautiful
new West River park.
At the meeting were present Comis-
sioners Hayward, Woodruff and Sey-
mour, Mayor Sargent, Corporation
Counsel Driscoll, City Engineer Hill.
Park Commissioner W. W. Farnam for
the city of New Haven, ex-Speaker
Hoyt for the town of Greenwich, J. F.
Moran for the cemetery, F. Wayland
Fellowes, who owns some property in
Saugatuck to be appropriated by the
new road; President Parrott of the pro-
posed road, and Attorney Hurlbutt, its
counsel. ,
Mr. Moran opposed the proposed lay-
out on the ground that it would cut Off
from the Derby avenue side four-fifths
of the most valuable frontage, destroy
the plan for the entrance already stated,
and so reduce the value of the whole
cemetery to comparatively nothing. He
also quoted a section of the statute,
which provides that a layout through a
cemetery must, to be effective, be unan-
imously approved by the commission-
ers.
Mr. Farnam showed how seriously it
interfered with the plans for theWest
river park, cutting it in two‘ and neces-
sitating inconvenient changes in grade
of the park drives; and also, heremark-‘
ed, it might be a source of danger to
those who were to enjoy its beauties.
Colonel Hoyt denied the legality of
the corporation, and stated that he
would give his reasons, and the counsel
for the road opportunity to reply, at
the meeting .to be held to-day in Green-
wich at his request. , .
Corporation Counsel Driscoll ‘op-
posed it, as it interfered with the park
system. —— [New Haven Journal and

Lawn Tennis Club.
The first annual meeting of the Nor-
walk Lawn Tennis club was held Tues-
day evening in the new Casino on their
grounds. The building has been hur-
ried through and the last arrangements,
waxing the floor and so on, have been
personally attended to by the officers
in order that the club might be enabled
to meet in its own quarters. The at
tendance was satisfactorily large, the
membership having jumped to the num-
ber of one hundred and thirteen. After
the reading of the reports, the election
of ofiicersfor the ensuing year was pro-
ceeded with. The balloting resultedin
the election of the following gentle-
'men: J. Arthur Pinneo, president;Wil-
liam F. Acton, vice-president; Samuel
L. Weed, secretary; Le Grand Ray-
mond, treasurer; Board of Managers,

Acomplete new set of by-laws was
then offered and accepted.and the meet-
ing adjourned. It had been the inten-
tion to have a pleasant little dance af-
ter the business was disposed of, and
the newly purchased piano was in place
with a pianist engaged for the occasion
but the night was so very cold unex-
pectedly, that the poor musician’s fin-
gers'were stiff, and people were shiver-
ing, so it was thought best to postpone
the dancing to a more auspicious occa
sion in the near future.
An Interesting Relic.
Among the many other interesting
and attractive features connected with
the adorning and furnishing of Grace
church, is an old time spindle chair,
which was the property of Bishop Kem-
per while he was rector of St. Paul’s
church. Beneath the wooden seat is
glued a paper with this record and in
the hand-writing of the late Benjamin
Isaacs:

The chair was repolished, and a sil.
ver plate put upon the broad band on
the back above the spindles, with the
inscription “Bishop Kemper’s Chair,”
and then presented to Grace church by
MT. Isaacs’ granddaughter, Mrs. E.
P. Weed. It has been an heirloom in
the family and sacredly kept because
of its association with Bishop Kemper
of sainted memory. On Dr. Kemper’s
appointment to the Bishopric of the
great west, and removal from Norwalk,
he sold his household effects at a public
vendue and this article of furniture
was purchased as stated by Benjamin
Isaacs. On Monday night Bishop Wil-
liams sat in it with special delight.
The beautiful mahogany contribution
boxes, secured on the inner side of the
entrance doors of the church, are the
unique handiwork of Mr. George S.
Smith, the invalid brother of Ex-War-
den W. H. Smith, who has taken such
an active part in this new church en-
terprise.
A Policeman’s Lot.
There be many, no doubt, who think
that the average police officer has but
little to do “in piping times of peace”
save to smoke good cigars, revel in the
realm of anecdote, eat, drink and sleep.
Even in Norwalk this would be a ro-
mance, pure and simple.
In the course of a little talk ,Tuesday
with Chief DeForest, reference was
made to the Silver Mine woman who
thought her pocket had been picked in
Grace church, and whose lamentations
over her supposed loss fairly discount—
ed those of the prophet Jeremiah.
“Why,” said the Chief, “you’ve no
idea of the extent of this sort of busi-
ness. Only yesterday afternoon a man
rushed up to me wringing his hands
and with the most forlorn expression
on his face you ever saw. Said he,
‘Somebody’s stole my horse; now, hur-
ry and get him back. won’t you?’ ”
Chief DeForest tried to calm the poor
fellow, and finally learned that he had
left his horse hitched in front of E. K.
Lockwood’s. Over there he went, as-
certained that the horse had been tak-
en to another place and hitched in or-
der to be out of the way while goods
were being unloaded at the store. The
owner identified his rig by a soap box
in the wagon! ‘ .
At 10 o’clock the 'same night a well-
known citizen sent word in a hurry
that an incendiary was prowling around
and under his barn. Chief DeForest
hurried over to the place, captured the
man (who proved to be a neighbor,)
and when the story was told. there was
quite a laugh. . The pet eat of the sup-
posed incendiary had a litter of kittens
under the barn and the contemplated
incendiarism consisted of the problem
how to get at the kittens Without burn-
ing the barn. . ' _ .
At 1 o’clock yesterday morning Chief
De Forest heard ‘a commotion in Wa-
ter street. The electric hghts were out
but in the moonlight he could see
semething moving uneasily about on
the highWay and sidewalk.“ Going out
and up§Water street he 'fOund‘fQiie of

The Borough Meeting.
Tuesday afternoon when the DAILY
GAZETTE representative arrived at the
architectural anomaly on the hill yclept
“Our Town House” the only other 0c-
cupant of the building was Chief De-
Forest, who, as the borough bailiff, was
industriously at work making the place
presentable. As late as 2:50 it looked
as if the attendance at the meeting
would be limited to the gentlemen
named but within ten minutes the rear
guard began straggling up the hill, to
the ancient seats of the town temple.
At 3:05 Warden Keeler climbed into
what resembles the captain’s bridgeOf
an ocean steamship and called the as-
sembled freemen to order, and, in the
absence of Clerk Warner, asked Mr.
Charles Quintard to act as clerk.
After the clerk had read the call for
the meeting Mr. B. W. Maples oflered
a resolution authorizing J. Thornton
Prowitt, Oliver E. Wilson and Herbert
W. Kemp to act as a committee for the
purchase of 3,000 feet of 2.1,: inch rubber
hose, four ply, guaranteed by responsi-
ble parties to withstand a hydrostatic
pressure of 400 pounds to the square
inch and also guaranteed for at least
three years’ service. Its weight not to
exceed one pound pet lineal foot and
its cost not to exceed 90 cents per lineal
foot. By the terms of the resolution
the treasurer was empowered to pay
for the same when properly approved.
Mr. Theodore Smith moved to amend
by substituting $1.00 for 90 cents, as
the cost of the hose. He feared that
ninety cent hose might not be good
enough.
Mr. Maples replied that in looking
into this subject as a matter of curiosity
he had been aided somewhat by an ar-
ticle in the Firemen’s Herald. “Rub-
ber hose is manufactured by three or
four parties, ”he said, “but I have heard
from only two. It strikes me that
one of the favorable features in the use
of rubber hose is that it does away
with the necessity of a fire or hose
tower. This hose can be used any-
where and in all seasons, can be thrown
anywhere after using and is not dam-
aged by such treatment. When we
had a hose tower it was but little used,
as after fighting fire the tired firemen
naturally had but little inclination to.
ward spending much time in drying
hose.
“I think that the hose can‘,be bought
for 90 cents, but as I have no objection
‘to‘ trusting the committee I willingly
accept the amendment. ”
Mr. Walsh thOught the purchasing
committee should .beappointed by the
Court of Burgesses.
Mr. Maples replied that the Bur
gasses had turned this whole subject
over to the borough meeting and
would like to have it thus disposed of.
Quite a lively breeze sprang up over
this matter, Mr. Maples properly con-
tending that four out of five of the ob-
jects named in the call were within the
$500 limit and could be disposed of by
the Court of Burgesses, but that the
whole thing had been turned over to
the borough meeting, fire hose and all,
for final action.
Burgess O’Reilly said the Burgesses
were unanimously in favor of definite
vor of the committee as named.
When those who desired to ventilate
their ideas had concluded, a . vote was
first taken on the Walsh amendment,
authorizing the Court of Burgesses to
appoint the hose purchasing commit-
tee. The amendment was lost by 26 to
18.
Mr. Maples then called for the ques-
tion on the original motion.
Mr. J. B. Ells moved to substitute
fire hose for rubber hose and that bids
for supplying the same be regularly
advertised for. This was not seconded
and the question recurring on the orig-
inal motion it was unanimously adopted.
[It should be said right here, how-
ever, that prior to taking the vote
Ex-Water Commissioner Moody sug-
gested that 1,500 feet of new hose was
all that was needed at present, but the
chorus of “Ohs” and “Ahs” which was
heard in the back part of the hall
either indicated the disapprobation of
the firemen at the suggestion, or that
they had all been taken severely ill at
the same moment]
Mr. Maples said that inasmuch as the
other specifications in the call were
within the province of the Court of
Burgesses he would move an adjourn-
ment. Motion lost.
Chief Prowitt said the firemen fa-
vored the hose tower, believing it was
needed. .
Mr. Maples asked if the hose tower
was necessary if we used rubber hose.
If so he would vote for it.
Chief Prowitt replied that,if any oth-
er than rubber hose were brought the
tower would be' a necessity. He had
seen cotton, rubber lined .hose that,
with proper care, had lasted 12 or 13
years. .
i A long discussion ensued in which,
while it seemed to be the consensus of
opinion that the rubber hose scheme
was correct, minor differences cropped
out, Mr. Ells believing that we should
have a fire alarm whistle instead of a
bell. ‘ ‘
Mr. Maples moved that the Court of
Burgesses be authorized and requested
to order the erection of a-suitable hose
tower and to purchase lamps, harness,
‘etc.. for the supply wagon.
The motion was adopted with but
three dissenting votes, whereupon ad-

journment was moved by Mr. Maples:
SCHEELE’S CASE.
It Wlll be Heard by the Board of
PardonsNext Month.
The final attempt to save J acob' .
Scheele from the ignominious fate of
hanging will be made by Judge D. .B.
Lockwood and H. J. Curtis, hislawyers
before the' Board of Pardons, which.
will convene at Hartford on the first
Monday in June. The lawyers were
successful in securing a new trial for
Scheele within two weeks of'the day
set for his, execution. by Judge Torrance
before whom he was, first tried. He
was convicted a second time at the term
of the Superior Court in ,May, 1890,.
and was thereupon sentenced to be
hung on June 18, 1891.
In an extended notice of this “cele-
brated case," the Bridgeport Standard
of last evening says: "‘It is generally
understood that his German friends in
Norwalk made upa big purse for his
defense and that this latest move on
the part of the lawyers was instituted
.by Germans who hope to save the life
of their countrymen. States Attorney
Fessenden will doubtless strongly op-
pose the petition when the case comes
up before the board. The sentiment in
New Canaan has never changed since
the murder. Reputable New Canaan-
ites have deplored the cold-blooded
murder of Constable Drucker and have
clam’ored for the fulfillment of the' ex-
treme penalty."
Narruk.
Norwalk was visited Thursday night
by a delegation of Stamford Foresters,
for the purpose of instituting a:new.
Court to be known as Court Narruk.
When they assembled the spacious meet-
ing room in the GAZETTE building was
comfortably filled by :candidates and
visiting Foresters. The deputy high
court .ofiicers, consisting of William
Scanlon, H. C. R , J. J. Gallagher, S.
H. C. R., J. J. Cavanaugh, F.S., Chas.
McSherry, R. S., John Griffin, S. W.,

After the election the new board initia-
ted 25 candidates. At the close of the
order of business, Caterer Gordon
erved a collation over which many in-
teresting speeches were made, and ata
late hour the high court of officers en-
tered their carriages amidst the good-
byes and well wishes of the members
and friends of the infant COurt, Nar-
ruk. A A _ ‘ ' ‘

Rev. Father Slocum, who knows how
to do a gracious and graceful thing
at the best time and and in the
best manner, has sent a patriot-
ic and highly appreciated “invite” to
the members of the two Norwalk Posts
of the G. A. R. to attend his church on
the Sunday evening prior to Decora-
tion Day. It is a custom well estab-
lished, for some church in every town
where a G. A. R. Post is established. to
invite its members to a religious ser-
vice prior to the beautiful and hallowed
custom of strewing flowers upon the
graves of their fallen comrades, and
Fat-her Slocum is first in the field with
the following modestly worded letter
of invitation, to the old war veterans:
