A Town Hospital for Norwalk Now Assured. Amonster meeting was held at the Armory Wednesday night in the interest of the proposed hospital movement. Every seat in the gallery and on the floor was filled, and from two to three hundred people were forced to stand in the aisles and vacant spaces of the vast edifice. Dwyer’s City of Norwalk Band generously furnished a fine selection of tunes, which were admirably played and the services of all the members were tendered gratuitously. At a few minutes after eight. Chairman Light called the unexpectedly large meeting to order, read a note frOm Dr. Noble, explaining his absence, etc., and then called on the Secretary for the only te- dious thing about the whole affair, which was the reading of some hun- dred, more or less, names, which had been carefully compiled as a compli- ment no doubt, from the directory, as Vice Presidents of the meeting. Mr. Light, after music by the band, then took the floor and made a fifteen minutes address. urging the needs of the hospital and his belief that the peo- ple of N orwalk were willing to contri- bute to its erection and, support. He expressed his pleasure in seeing peo- ple from every, section of our town pre- sent and thus showing their interest in the movement. It was a charity that should rise above all questions of sec- tion, church, or party, and he was sure it would. He instanced the recorded statement that during the early years of the war, when the two armies were on either side of the Rappahannock, a rebel band set up playing one even- ing, the “Starry Flag,” when instantly a band in the Union army followed with “Bonny Blue Flag,” and altern- ately, “Star Spangled Banner, ” follow- ed by the Union band with “WayDown in Dixie, ” etc., and then the Union band in low and tender notes started “Home Sweet Home,” and the Confed- erates joining in the tune on the other shore, and at its end cheered vocifer- ously, showing that this was a melody touching all hearts on both sides of the line. So of this effort to erect a town hospital. It had seemingly touched and warmed the hearts of all our citizens, uninfluenced by sectional, political or sectarian differences. He said in con- clusion, that this meeting was prelimi- nary to a grand bazar the ladies were preparingto open at the Armory, on Oct. 26th. The followin programme was then carried out, to t e end of the meeting : Rev. Father Slocum being called upon arose and said the Hospital pro- 'ect was one very near his heart. He ad probably seen as much of the great need of such an institution as any one present, and he was rejoiced to see so many proving their interest in the en- terprise .by their presence. He said that charity was the very foundation of all christiamty. The Saviour and the Apostle Paul had placed charity at the head of all christian virtues, and he was glad that on the platform of this noble, christian charit , citizens of all parties and creeds coul cordially stand. He had no doubt of its success, and while he was somewhat in the dark as to the details and methods in the minds of its chiefpromotors, he did not doubt that our citizens generally, and even the little children, would gladly and liberally contribute to this great and ood cause. He told of a war meeting 6 attended at his home when a boy, in old ,Litchfield county. Sumter had been fired upon, and the whole loyal North was all on fire with indignation and patriotism. A great meeting was gathered of the excited people of his Village, and one good old soul got up and proposed they pass a series of reso- lutions that the audacious rebels might learn how indignant the people of t at town were at such treat-unable conduct. The good man had hardly taken his seat, when up jumped another man who shouted “it isn’t resolutions and wind we want, it is men, to go down there and to help thrash the rebel rascals,and I move we start a roll for a company here and now, and put me down for-the first man to go." It struck him, as a practical man, that we wanted mone more than speeches, and although it was announced that no collection was to be taken up, be presumed no volun- teer contribution would be refused and so he wanted to climax his remarks by the proffer of $100 from his own pocket. This liberal contribution as a wind- up of his brief and happy speech was enthusiastically received by the audi- once. Hon. E. J. Hill, was then called out and read, as is his custom, the follow- brief but forcible speech, which was several times applauded by the audi- ence, especially at the point where he gave utterance to the sentiment of what Norwalk might be in the eyes of the country, were she one consolidated, united city. His remarks were as fol- lows: Away out upon the arid plains of Ari- zona General Dyreni‘orth has been ex- perimenting, during the past summer, upon the artificial production of min by the successive explosions in mid-air of dynamite, giant powder and other milder compounds. If the reports are true the experiments have been a grand success and copious showers of rain have been called down upon the thirsty earth. The chairman of this meeting,in imi- tation of the General’s plan, having fired his dynamite and giant powder through the instruinentality of the Rev. Father Slocum, now calls for his mild. er explosives, and in due course‘ of time we may hope to see the dew of mercy andsympathy, which hovers over this audienCe and pervades this meeting, l precipitated in an abundant ruin of love I and charity. upon this dry and thirsty town. ' I am lad to-night that all parts of Norwal have met together and jained hearts and hands to carry on so goo a work. Were no other result secured, this alone would justify the labor hith- erto performed. This meeting gives to ~ me a promise of better thingsto come, and, in all sincerity,I would say that if the purpose and the motive which gov- erns and controls our action npw_could come to be the overning principle of our every-do. re ations, this grand old New Englan town would soon take its rightful place as one of the leading cities of this commonwealth. I am glad that the enterprise inwhich we have engaged in not a denomina- tional one ; glad we have not met as Methodists or Catholics, Episcopalians, Presbyterians or Baptists ; glad that we know no North or South or East or West Norwalk, but that as brothers, with hearts full of good-will and broth- erly love, we have come to ' plan and counsel for the beginning and construc- tion of one of God’s own inns, whose portal shall be as high as Heaven and as wide as humanity, and across whose front shall be inscribed : “Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these ye have done it unto me.” Ac- tuated by such a motive and working in such a spirit, there is no such thing as failure. Many centuries ago, a rich young man came into the presence of Him, who, had if he had done nothing else, would have made his name immortal, by giving to the world its highest type of human life, and kneeling at His feet, cried, “What good thing can I do to inherit eternal life?” “Keep the com- mandments” was the reply and then be quoted to him all of the law relating to the duty of man to his fellow men. “All this have I kept from my youth up” the young man answered. Then came the epitome of allreligion. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul and might and mind and strength and thy neighbor as thy- self,” and in exemplification of that love, he bade him sell all that he had, give it to the poor and follow Him. Friends, Christ does not ask of you and me to-day, that we should live the life that he lived or follow his instruc- tions to his disciples of that day, liter- ally, but he does ask that his life should be an example and his words an inspir- ation to us in facing and conquering the different conditions of life in whic we find ourselves placed. We may not have to give our all to feed the poor, or forsake our homes and friends to fol- low him, but into this splendid life of ours, with all its enjoyments and all of its opportunities, there surely comes the golden rule of eighteen centuries ago, “As ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.” A few weeks ago a poor Hungarian, an alien and a stranger, was struck by the cars in South N orwalk, and lay breathing out his life in the baggage room of the depot there. By 0 once (if such a thing there be) a man passed by and saw the awful si ht. He stop- ped and looked about an wondered if in this whole town there was no place where. if death must come, it might at least be in the peace and quiet of a home. From that thought came this meeting. From that thought I trust will come,throu h the willing action of this whole peop e, ,u modest,humble but fitting beginuin of what in the not distant future wi be the N orwalk Hos- pital. To this end let each do some. thing. One can work, another can give, ‘ all can at least wish it well. Several years ago, a woman .‘came to the rear entrance of ahouse in Norwalk and asked for clothes. The servant girl seeing in her face the signs of honest poverty went to her room and was bring- ing down a good Warm garment of her own, when the lady of the house stop- ped her with the remark. "You want that for yourself." “I know Ido,” was the reply "but if Ididn’t it would be.no charity for me to give it away." Think of this reply, when this cause. comes to you for help and act accordingly. It may be you are giving now- to that which bye and bye will be a means of comfort and blessing to you and yours. In this swiftly changing life,no man is sure of his position. Thirt -seven years ago I came to Norwal as a boy. Looking back over those years I can see where the rich have changed places with the poor, where those once honored and esteemed have been passed by and forgotten ; and worse than all where death has come as a glad refuge from a ruined life. God grant to each one here to-night the blessing of a home in which to live in happiness and die in peace. But who can tell the future ? One thing we know, that in a world so beautiful that its Creator gave himself to save both it and us, if we, his creatures. can,b thought, or word, or deed, help to ma 6 life sweeter and death less feared, we shall have joined hands with him in the grandest work that it is possible for man to do. Rev. Mr. Tucker, of East Norwalk, followed-in a short and earnest plea for the enterprise. He fully believed that walk not only could, but would, carry the enterprise to completion,and he, as others did, knew there was almost daily need of a town hospital. Music by the band followed, when President Light called out Rev. Dr. Van Alstyne, who said in part that: He did not know what was to be the cost or scopepf the proposed Hospital, but he_hoped it was not to be like a weak- and sicklyfichurch, cramped by debt and want of means. He recognized its necessity and as it was too late to co- cupy much time in talk, he would so that he extended the right hand of fe - lowship tohis good brother Slocum for his practical turn given to the enter- prise and while he might not be able to go down so deep into his pocket. he would dive clear down to the shoulders of his ability, to give to such a worthy cause, and would give Father Slocum a £09m. royal, old-fashioned Methodist END. in recognition of his practically elmluent argument in behalf of the cause. ' The Rev. Dr. was very happy in his preciated by the audience. Dr. J. G. Gregory was then called out and responded by saying that the project was one in which every mem- ber of his profession took a deep and especial interest. for the reason that they knew its imperative need, and when the time came, they would be found ready. and more than willing, to contribute of 'their'services and their money. the liberal minded people of all Nor» brief remarks, which were heartily ap-- Senator Seymour was next facetiously called out by President Light and re- spended by saying that he had just left a democratic caucus which had been somewhat wild and tumultuous in its enthusiasm, and the thing that had im- pressed him most on entering the Ar~ mory was the vast amount of deep, si- lent and-suppressed enthusiasm mani- fested by the audience, especially that large part of it which had been forced- to stand during the entire meeting. He then,in a more serious mood, stated that statistics proved that small hospitals were the most successful, and such an one as would fill Norwalk’s present needs should not be. a very costly affair. It was quite within the easy at- tainment of our people,if united for it. The town and the state he thought could be properly called on, and be depended upon to aid in its support, if properly organized and managed. Selectman Daskam followed Senator ‘ Seymour, his face rosy with the smiles of victory, as he had followed Senator Seymour from the caucus where he had been overwhelmingly resnominated, but he felt his heart moved to match cards with Father Slocum and said he would give another $1.00, for a bed in such a hospital to be known as the lit- tle children’s bed, and he did not doubt but that the money could easily be col- lected for a hospital. He would invite all the churches and sabbath schools to aid in the good work, etc. Mr. Joseph Tammuny was the next and last speaker. He spoke for the la- boring men and the labor organizations of the town, and especially for the Hat Trimmers’ association, who had already in hand a large fund for this purpose and were ready to pledge $3,000 as their share in the greatly needed institution. “The shopmen and laboring men, of Norwalk, will do their full share for this object,” said Tammany, and his statements were heartily applauded. President Light again announced the Bazar to open on Monday, Oct. 26, and the meeting adjourned, and all the friends of the enterprise were greatly encouraged by the cordial and earnest spirit manifested. ..._.._._.—*- »___ _____ _ Dlsqulet Elsewhere, also. Hon. James H. Olmstead, that old war horse of honest Democracy in western Connecticut, fires this broad- side at his party friends in Stamford, and sounds the some notes of warning that our best citizens of both parties here in Norwalk have been uttering and considering with apprehensive alarm. He says: “The writer has obtained the expen- diture for the out—door poor for the last year. They are $16,682.21, being, in- stead of less than the year before, $1,278.53 in excess. And the expendi ture for this last year for highwa s and bridges is $29,820.21. which is a so in excess of last year by the sum of 31.417229. “The tax-payers are having more bur- dens placed upon their backs than many of them will be able to carry, and things are becoming more and more oppressive every day. It is an old adage that “it is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back.” Well, is not the camel’s back nearly broken ? “To the members of the Democratic party, to which I. belong, I wish to state that the only hope of the party is in taking a decided stand at the com- ing caucus in favor of reformation in our town afi'airs." ..——... .___._... coo . Jumped Out of the Window. Sunday night, about 12 o’clock, Chief Gormley was notified that a young man had jumped out of a window of a house on Center avenue, and was severely in- jured. He went immediately to the scene of the accident, and found that John McDonald, a young man of about 17 'ears, had jumped from the window of is room, while laboring under the delusion that burglars were in the house and were after him. McDonald, who is from Brooklyn, has been in‘ town only three do 3. and is stopping with his sister, the c arivoyant, ou Cen- ter avenue. He is of a very nervous disposition, and easily frightened. Last evening he thought he heard some one trying to get into his room. and after » barricading the door, jumped fromthe window to the ground, a distance of about fifteen feet. He was found later, on Main street, by two friends scantily attired, and taken to their house where his ankle, which was sprained by the fall, was attendedtoby Dr. Huntington. A little later. from some cause or other, the clarivoyant could not be made to understand what had occurred. and it was not until next morning, when Chief Gormley again wentto the house that she knew what her brother had done. The young man’s mother, who lives in Brooklyn, was sent for. A Runaway. Monday morning about 8 o’clock Fred- erick Alger, a carpenter, living on the New Canaan road, was drivmtIr down Mill Hill with abox of tools in the back art of his . Hanlon’s baking powder establishment the chest in some way or other fell out. The horse, which is a young and nerv- ous animal, and a new purchase, was frightened by the noise of the falling tool chest and started on a run. The horse turned the. corner in front of Hendee’s music store and started in the direction of High street. When ‘ crossing the car track the we on wheel became entangled in the tree and the sudden lurch threw Mr. Alger out, over the side of the wagon, and he landed on his neck and shoulders on the stones. Several men ran to his assistance ex- pecting to find him seriously injured, but he picked himself up, and after brushing the mud and dirt off his cloth- ing, found he was not hurt. The horse continued up Hi h street on a run and was stopped on rance street. There gentle action and good efl'ect ' on the system really make them a per- fect little pill.
