The County Commissioners refuse
to grant burgess O’Rellly a
.. License to Sell Liquors on
Main Street.
[Special to the GAZETTE.)
In October last burgess James H...
O’Reilly applied to the County Com-
missioners for a license to sell intoxi
eating liquors at his store No. 168 Main
street. Immediately after the publica-
tion of the notice of application the
residents of that street started a re-
monstrance against a license being
granted, which was signed by every
resident and property holder, except
one, and Lawyer E. M. Lockwood was
engaged by the remonstrants.
Burgess O’Reilly engaged Lawyer J.
Belden Hurlbutt, and a two days’ ex-
amination of witnesses for and against
the granting of a license took place be-
fore the County Commissioners in the
Borough Court room. After the argu-
ments of counsel the Commissioners re-
served their decision. At their meet-
ing in Bridgeport this morning they
decided not to grant O’Reilly a license
on the ground that it was against the
rules of the Commissioners to grant a
license to any one on residence streets
when the residents protest.

A Successful Operation.
Dr. H. E. Bates, the veterinary sur-
geon, performed an operation on one
of Dann’s horses last week. the like of
which has probably never been seen in
Norwalk. The horse in some way or
other bruised one of his forward feet
andthcinjury was so severe that the
poor animal could not use that useful
portion of his propelling powers. Last
Monday the Doctor was called and af-
ter an examination had been made, de-
cided that the sole of the foot would
have to be taken out. This was no
easy operation, but after the Doctor
had rigged some sort of oontrivance of
his own manufacture by which the
horse’s leg was held in position, it was
but the .work of a few minutes to do the
job. First the frog of the foot was cut
away and removed and then the sole
was reached. This was cut around and
leosencd, andthen with the help of a
pair of pinchers was pulled out with a
sudden jerk. The shell of the hoof was
packed was oakum and the horse has
since been doing nicely and the lame-
ness has disappeared. After the hoof
has heeled a little more. a skeleton sole
and frog will be placed inside the shell
to protect the bone from becoming
bruised.

One of the most successful and really
delightful entertainments of the season
was the Lawn Tennis Ball at the Armo-
ry Friday night. Representative young
people from Norwalk’s chomest soci-
ety were largely represented and
throughout the entire evening “all
went merry as a marriage bell. ”.Wheeler
and Wilson’s orchestra furnished its
best selections of music, the saying of
which, is the very acme of praise. It
was stationed in the centre. of the vast
hall and the space occupied prettily
festooned about with smilax. The
Club’s pennant” floated proudly. above.
them and the gay dancers. in full
dress costume, thronged the floor.
There were twenty-two numbers ou_the
card. which were faithfully and joy-
ously danced through. A collation was
conveniently served in the hall at 11:30,
screened in by pretty vines 9f smilax
and other plants. The following are a'

present:

Rev. Dr. Hall Shot At.
As Rev. Dr. John Hall, pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church,
was passing from the church to the pas-
torate adjoining, after the morning ser-
vice, Sunday, John G. Both, a Ger-
man, forty-five years of age, from the
opposite side of the avenue fired three
shots in quick succession at him as he
was ascending the steps. The first shot
struck the stone stoop of the doctor’s
house, the second perforated one of the
glass panels of the front door and the
third flattened itself against the side of
the house. A member of Dr. Hall’s
Church and the sexton jumped upon
him and held him until the arrival of
an officer. He was locked up.
The prisoner is evidently not in his
right mind. He, muttered something
about a conspiracy which be imagined
existed againsthim. Two papersfound
on his person showed the bias of his
imagination. One document was in
manuscript and the other was printed.
The document states that Dr. Potter,
Dr. Hull and Judge Hilton were the
chief conspirators and that Mrs. A. T.
Stewart was a good friend of the pris-
oner. The prisoner stated after his ar-
rest that Dr. Hall was chief among
those conspiring to do him harm.
The Boston Store.
The many readers of the DAlLY GA-
ZETTE must bear with us for a few days,
as our great local mart of trade, the
N orwalk Macy’s, as it were, has monop- E
olized a full half page of our space in
announcing its dissolution of eo-part-
nership sales. As is known, Mr. O’Gor-
mam goes to Detroit the first of the
new year and Mr. George R. Van Al-
styne, who closes out the South Nor-
walk store, succeeds him here at the
Borough. Mr. O’Gorman possesses in
a. large degree the commercial enter-
prise and dash, so suited to the West-
ern methods of trade, and we are not
at all surprised that such a pent-up
Utica as Norwalk, is not afield wide
enough either for his ambition or for
his commanding powers. At the City
of the Lakes he will find more ample
scope for his really remarkable capa-
bilities, while he leaves here a most
worthy successor in the person of the
wide-awake young Mr. Van Alstyne.

Novel Capture of a Fox.
Two or three nights ago a fox, while
prowling about the western part of
South Glastonbury, near the river,
caught his tail in a barbed wire fence.
In some way, evidently in an attempt
to escape, he twisted it about the wire
several times and finally firmly anchor-
ed himself in this novel way.
Of course it did not take very long
for some one to discover his plight in
the morning and the Miller boys put an
end to his chicken-stealing with their
guns. The statements rest on perfectly
unassailable testimony and the incident
makes, it is believed, a thoroughly
unique record in the histor of fox
“ hunting ” in Connecticut. t is pro-
bably the best thing a barbed wire
fence ever did—Hartford Coursnt.
Died in Chicago.
Colonel Charles W. Shelton, died in
Chicago, 111., last Friday, at the age of
forty-two. He was the son of cx-Mayor
William R. Shelton, of New Haven.
He leaves a wife and two children. a
daughter. Mrs. George B. Wookin, and
a son, William Shelton, who resides in
New Haven. Mr. Shelton was well
known in the state. having served as an
aide-de-camp on the stafi' of Governor
C. R. Ingersoll. He was at one time
clerk of the New Haven County Court
of Common Pleas.
Collision Near Hartford.
A rear collision of two freight trains
at Newton, six miles south of zHartford,
about midnight, Monday, blocked the
tracks of the New England and New
York and New Haven roads. One man
was killed and‘another had both legs
cut off. All travel will be delayed
some time. The accident occurred on
the New England road, but the cars
are piled across the tracks of the other
road.
A New Steel Bridge.
The Housatonic Railroad company
are to build a new steel bridge across
the Housatonic river at Birmingham.
It is to take the place of the long line
of spiles that are made to answer the
purpose at the present time, the in-
creased traffic over this branch of the
road making this improvement 3 neces-
sity. The work is‘to be commenced at
once.

The new combination of Smart Weed
and Belladonna, as used in Carter’s
Backacho Plasters, has proved to be
one of the best that could be made.
Try one of these popular plasters in
any case of weak or lame back, back-
ache, rheumatism, neuralgia, soreness
of the chest or lungs, and you will be
surprised and pleased by the prompt
relief. In bad cases of chronic dyspep-
sia, a plaster over the pit of the stom-
ach stops the pain at once. Ask for
