Obituary.
ALONZO KELLEY.
Alonzo Kelley died at his home on
West Main street, Sunday afternoon,
aged 60 years. _ His wife survives him.
He had been an invalid for about/.2; one
year. The funeral was attended at
4 o’clock, Wednesday afternoon. The
remainswill be taken to Conway,Mass. ,
by funeral director George H Ray-
mond, for interment. Mr. Kelley was
born in Ashfield, Mass, and Was en-
gaged as a jeweler drummer when he
first came to Norwalk in September,
1857, where at the time his brother J.
Chapman Kelley, was landlord of the
Connecticut hotel. He at the time en—
gaged with his brother as clerk of the
hotel, where he remained until the
brother’s death. Later he married his
brother’s widow and conducted the ho-
tel until it was sold ‘out to the late Cap-
tain J ohu Burke. He then went into
the employ of the late Frederick St.
John, in the wholesale liquor trade. At
Mr. St. John’s death he purchased the
business and carried it on until failing
health compelled him retire, when he
sold out to Mr. J. Henry Hoyt,at pres-
ent located on Water street. The de-
ceased had the reputation of being hon.
est in all his dealings, and has a large
number of friends. ' ‘

A Forged Check Received at the
.lientral National Bank.
Endorsed by a Stamford Firm.
Inthe course, of the usual business
“transactions ‘at‘ the Central National
bank last Monday, a check payable to
‘John Riegc'r' "was received from the
Stamford National bank, for the sum
of $20.65 with the alleged Signature of
R. Goldschmidt of this town, and en-
dorsed b Rieger and by Lockwood &
Peck, a tamford business firm. _
Cashier W. A. Curtis on looking at
the Signature was inclined to the be-
lief that'the signature was a forgery,
and. sent for Mr. Goldschmidt who at
- once pronounced it as such.
Mr. Goldschmidt intimated that he
had a suspicion as to the identity of
the guilty party and took .the next
train for Stamford to ferret him out.
The party by whom. the. check was
purported to have _been_s1gned does
the larger part of his business through
the Central bank, and while the bank
officials may have been perfectly fa-
miliar with his signature itjis none the
less to Cashier Curtis’ credit in detect-
ing the forgery, as it was a very good
one. ,
Mr. Goldschmidt promises to make
it exceedingly warm for the guilty
party, if he apprehends him.
To a GAZETTE [reporter Mr. Gold-
schmidt said Monday that he granted
to a man with whom‘,he had but aslight
acquaintance the pr1Vilege of writing a
letter at his desk, and now remembers
of having carelessly thrown one or two
blank checks aside. _
He thinks, that this man, seeing the
checks lying on the window-sill near
the desk picked them up and filled them
out with the result in at least one in-
stance as above. _
He hesitates about accusmg the man
as the guilty party, but cannot other-
wise account for the issuing of the
check. The last number of .the check
issued on his book is 116 while the for-
gery is No. 275 and dated April 7th.
,Mr. Goldschmidt’s checks all bear his
name printed on the stub end, and the
forged check in this. respect is one of
hisown. ‘ _ .
The party upon whom the suspicion
of having uttered the check rests
gave his name as Rigner, and he claim-
ed to be looking for work. He said
that he had a wife and two children.
He was a German, and Mr. Goldscmidt
remembers having first met him about
two weeks ago.

Court'of Suitcases. _'
An adjourned meeting of the Court
of Burgesses was held last Monday, the 1378
Warden and a full boardbeing present.
The reading of the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting was dispensed with.
Burgess Glover then presented the
following resolution : .
Vote d. that the Norwalk Tramway
Company is hereby authorized tograde
Mill Hill, so called, in this borough, as
proposed by said company, and in-
dicated by the map 'and profile made
by Hill, engineer of said company,
and on file inthis oflice. provided said
grading shall be done at the expense of
said Tramwa company, and provided
also that sai company shall at its own
cost and expense, lower the sewer at its
commencement, and the water. and gas .
pipes and their connections, and the
said walks, curbs and gutters where
necessary, and. relay all concrete and
other walks and all curbs and gutters,
and settle and pay all claims of property
work to
be done at the expense of said company
and to the approval of this court of
burgesses. _ .
In presenting the resolution Burgess
Glover explained that it was done in
the interest of the borough, and for the
protection of the tax payers. ‘ '
' Burgess Squires also remarked on
the resolution, but he was not altogeth-
er in favor of its acceptance.
Mr. E. J. Hill who was present in the
interest of the Tramway company said
that he had been a citizen of the
borough for forty years, and during
that time he had seen several resolu-
tions such as the above offered in the
court of burgesses, and would be sorry
to see this one prevail. He said that
no street railway could afford the ex-
pense attached to the resolution; he
was present as a citizen and claimed
the right to disapprove of the accept-
ance of the resolution. He then be-
came rather personal in his remarks
and was called to order by Warden
Sloan. He then said that his relatives
had fought against the running of the
Consolidated road through this section
of N orwalk and had lived to‘regret it;
though there was no use in haggling
over a matter that'would not cost the
borough in excess of 3500, said he
had an interest in the taxes of Norwalk
more than all of the members of the
court combined, wanted to see the
borough benefitted; and said that the
road would be built to Roton Point
and all surrounding points. He ended
by hoping that the resolution would
not prevail. '
Mr. Mansfield, of the tramway com-
pany, remarked on the resolution and
said that he confessed surpi-zse that the
company was given this “punch in the
eye ; ” if you think you can afford to
keep us out, we can afford to stay out ;
thought the court would err in passing
the resolution ; had been connected
with this company for over a year, and
believe they were sincere in their offers;
claimed that something like $100,000 '
would be spent in town by the company;
thought the sentiment of the people
was in favor of the road, but now was
in doubt ; did not want accident to hap-
case with the hill at its present grade,
even though the company might be
liable for such accident; it was the
surveyed by the company; the Bor-
ough. he thought, ought to meet the
company half way; felt free to say,
that the grading of the hill and lower-
ing of sidewalks would not cost in ex-
cess of $500 ; the company expected to
extend its system to New Canaan,West-
port, etc., with Norwalk as the grand
center; expressed himself as believmg
that it' the resolution was passed the
board would regret it.
. Burgess Glover said that he had been
accused of being antagonistic to the
tramway company, which was not true;
he was in favor of it but thought the
Borough interests ought to be pro-
tected in the matter; he was of the
opinion-that the damages would be far
in excess of $500, and that property
owners would put in claims for dama-
ges.
The original resolution was then
passed with but one opposing vote, that
of Burgess Squire.
George Gerrish was present and
asked for grade on Stuart avenue,lights,
sewer, etc., and objected to laying of
Elmcrest avenue, in preference to one
on Stuart avenue. He was accompan-
iedby alarge delegation of the resi-
dents of the avenue. No action was
taken in the matter.
The following bids were opened for
the cleaning of the catch basins as
follows : William VanWagner $1.15
each; D. Connelly, $1.15 ; Roger Mc-
Ginnis, $1.10, and the contract on mo-
tion of Burgess Squire was awarded to
Mr. McGinnis. (The contract was ac-
companied by some very severe restric-
tions.) '
The matter of placing a catch basin
at the corner of School and Chestnut
street was presented and the following
bids heard : A. Bach, $90;P. W. Bates,
$100; William Sheldon, $90; D. Con-g
nelly, $85. On motion of Burgess Mc-
Mullen the contract was awarded to
Mr. Connelly.
A report of the board of relief ac-
companied bya bill of $120 was re-
ceived but no action was taken in the
matter; thereport stated that “The
board of relief has held thirteen meet-
ings, received and considered 260 ap-
plications of relief, of which we are in-
formed is more than“ six times the
amount that any previous board of re-
lief has found it necessary to do.”
A bill also presented for $4.86 for
damages suffered by Mrs. Hall owing
to a defect in‘ the sidewalk in front of
the Norwalk Hotel in 1892. The itemi-
zed bill was, Phy‘sician, $1.03; nurse,
$250; cash expended, $1.33.
The Court adjourned'until next Tues-
day to meet for the purpose of paying
bills only. . '
