PRICE TWO CENTS. a— ConnectiCut State Register. The Connecticut Register and Man- ual of the state has been issued by State Secretary John J. Phelan. The book contains the usual information about state and town officers, but is far from accurate. In the statistics of towns, N orwalk’s population is given as follows: town, 17,477 ; borough, 3,079 ; city of South Norwalk, 5,313. The placing of the population of the borough at 3,079 and the City at 5,313 will be news to the people 'of N orwalk. At the October election the city of South Norwalk polled 837 votes, .which would indicate that the population of that city was between four and five thousand. The borough of N orwalk at the same election polled 1030 votes, which indicates a population of be- tween six and seven thousand. In the Register and Manual of 1889 the population of the borough was. given as 5,308 against 3,726 for the city. In 1.891 the figures were manipulated so as to give the city 5,313 and the bor- ough 3,079, and each succeeding Regis- ter has copied these figures. It is a well known fact that the borough has a larger population than the city, and why theSe incorrect _ figures have re- mained unchanged from 1891 until 1893 is a mystery. Liberty and Whiskers. In this uprising of the New York waiters against the hotel and restau- rant proprietors, who have demanded the sacrifice of their whiskers, we are with the waiters to the last hair, says the Washington Post. . There is no place in this country for the rules of caste. Men are free in the United States to pursue any legitimate avocation without being compelled to adopt a dress or other outward symbol of their calling. A bootblack may wear his trousers creased. The cabman may sport patent leather piccadilies. Chimney-sweeps may appear upon the street in hats as much too small for them as any Anglomaniacs wear. Our linstitutions admit of no compulsion in these respects. All citizens are free ‘and equal before the law. The gar- bage gang may go about their work in full evening dress if they so desire, and the small boys who sweepthe cross. ings can dress in mg carpet or in as- trakhan, just as they prefer. As it is with the artificial integuments provided by the tailor and the haber- dasher, so with the hirsute adornments bestowed by all-Wise Providence. No man in this country has the right to say that another shall not let his whis- kers grow. Some of the hotel proprie- tors in New York have said this, but they have spoken in defiance of pro- priety and justice. The edict is tyran- nical and we support the waiters in re- senting it with indignant scorn. We are acquainted with persons who have been to New York, who have even ven- tured into such gaudy land exclusive haunts as Delmonico’s and the Holland House; and they assure us that they have frequently seen among the wait- ers in those dazzling places of resort whiskers as beautiful and fluent as the Hon. Don M. Dickinson’s, moustaches as ethereal as err-Secretary Wharton’s and goatees as impressive as Isaac Like Mr. Cleveland’s. Pusey Gtay’s. Cabinet, or any other collection of free American citizens—the United States Senate,for instance—the New York gar- cons do not all bear feathery banners‘ on their cheeks. Some are clean shav- en,like Mr. Hoke Smith,or Mr. Bissell, or Mr. Gorman. Others sport sternly military moustachios like General La- mont or Mr. Blackburn. Still others invite the amorous wind with depend- ing mutton chops like Admiral Walk- er’s. One sees among them the classic Vandyke crop, the tenore robustoqfin; ish, the upper lip adorned with light fantastic tow, the simple unpretentious tuft like that by which we know the strenuous billy goat, even when influ- enza dulls us to other and more pene- trating proofs. They stand upon the broad platform of our common liberties, and they wield the razor or they fling their whiskers to the breeze. They live under the American flag and they are freeman. In their determination to submit to 110 Wranny as regards their hair ' we give them our unmixed sympathy and support. Let them stand firm. The country is behind them. Wherever the Stars and Stripes float proudly on the wind the sovereign voter may carry what he likes upon his manly counten- ance. - New Postmaster at East H‘addam.

A writer in the Boston Globe says that “any apparent feeling of languor is not a Sign of debility ; it is the first symptom of recovery from debility. 'In most sicknesses when. a man begins to feel lazy, he is on the verge of re- covery. The extreme tired feeling that comes with spring is not ill health, it is convalescence from winter.” To Revolutionize Signal Lightim. A very interesting test of the new signal light invented by O.

The Senate disagreed with theHouse yesterday on ,. the bill authorizmg the Comptroller to pay the expenses of members of the General Assembly for the proposed visit to Putnam Memor- ial park in 'Redding. The Senate also tabled the bill incorporating the Pleas- ure Beach Ferry. company. There was passed the usual $18,000 appropriation for the Industrial Girls’ school at Middleto'wn, and also a spec- ial appropriation to sink an artesian well for the Storrs Agricultural school. In the House, there were passed, on favorable reports, resolutions appro-~ priating to the state normal schools at Willimantic and New Britian sums sufficient to supply deficiences. The bill appropriating $200,000 for normal schools in Bridgeport and New Haven and which has so many conditions at- tached did not come up. An interesting report was_that of the T‘zmpera‘nce committee requiring drug- g‘ ts to conform to the law in all re- spects as licensed saloon dealers and be punishable by the same penalties. A long discussion ensued on the bill providing that parties whose applica- tiqns for liquor licenses had been re- f _' ed could appeal from adverse deci- sfin of the County commissmners to t Superior Court. Callahan offered an amendment that this right of appeal should not apply in remonstrance cases and if adverse action on these cases were taken .the applicant should be recompensed for the time he was out of business. The amendment was de- feated, 94 to 71, and the main bill per- mitting appeal was then passed. _ . ' There were also passed the bills in- cdrporating the Stamford hospital, Stamford .Water 00., and the Alonquim club of Bridgeport, and amending the charter of the Pembroke Burial asso- ciation of Bridgeport. _ The bill incorporating the Bridge- port Medical society was passed in the House. The House insisted on its former ac- tion in passing the bill compelling man- ufacturers to report accidents to the factory inspector. ‘ The Insurance committee reported adversely on a bill regulating indus- trial insurance business. The bill was rejected. The committee on Incorporations re- portedfavorably on a resolution incor- porating the Norwalk club company. The Judiciary committee reported a substitute bill providing for the pay- ment of debts of school districts that have been separated. The Judiciary committee reported a substitute bill amending the collater- al inheritance tax law. The bill pro- vides that all taxes under the law shall be paid within 60 days after the firm] a] owance of the executor’s for admin- is ator’s final account ; butno proper- ,ty which had been taxed within one *‘year prior to the allowance of the ac; count, shall be subject to the law or liableto collateral inheritance tax. Minor matters passed by the Senate ; Incorporating the borough of Ridge- field: appropriating $15,000 for the art- ificial propagation of fish; $6,000 for trout, $6,000 for shad, and $3,000 for pay and expenses, etc., of fish commis- sioners; for the protection and preser- vation of natural oyster beds ; bill in- creasing the term of commitment of tramps to the workhouse to a maximum of one year instead of four months; imposing a penalty of three years’ im- prisonment for improper relations with a girl under 14.

About 5:20'o’clock this morning an alarm of fire was sounded which called the firemen to Raymond Brothers’ coal yard' on Water street, where it was found that their ha barn was burning. The firemen imme iately began their efi'orts to save the adjoining buildings and only two others were damaged to any extent. The large hay barn is a total loss and the other store houses are more or less damaged. The hay barn was completely filled. the, firm having filled it only a few days Since. The other buildings were filled With cement, hay, straw, lime etc., all of which is a total loss. The loss to the building and stock was about $6,000 on which there was an insurance of $3,000. The fire is suppos- ed to have origniated from the rismg tide reaching the lime, and slacking it, causing the hay to become ignited. Met to Say Good-Bye. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew of St. Pauls church held a meeting in the Parish rooms last evening. It partook of the nature of a farewell to the pas- tor of the church Rev. Mr. Graham. Speeches of regret at his proposed de- parture from town were made hr George H. Bromfield,St. John Merril , Albert Betta, James Hubbell, Charles Chitman, W. Taylor and Wilbur Hub- bell. Rev. Mr. Graham made a speech in which he said that the members of the Brotherhood would always contin- ue to be zealous in the good work they were doing and thanked them all for their kindly wishes towards himself. Supper was served at 9:30 o’clock. “Blessed be the tie that binds” was sung. The meetin closed with a pray- °er by Rev. Mr. Gra am.

Yesterdays storm was ‘one of the worst that has visited Norwalk in a long time. There was a continuous fall _of rain, sleet and snow all day and far into the night. These were accom. panied by a wind that must have been blowmg at a velocity of forty miles an hour. Only those whose business made it necessary for them to be on the street. ventured out. Sometimes it drizzled and then it poured down, and the air was as chilly as a day in Jan- uary. _ ‘ The high Wind that cbntinued all day seemed to increase in force after dark. Shutters slammed and banged, bricks were blown from chimneys. large trees were blown down, limbs broken off as if .but tw1gs, electric, telegraph and tel- ephone Wires were broken, and havoc generally2done. According-to the Weather Bureau, the cyclone is the most extensive that has ever swept across the country and got on the records. Its westerly edge was away_ou_t in the Dakotas, while its easterly limit was conjectured to be far at sea on the Atlantic. It extended northward from the Gulf of Mexico beyond the Canada border. ’ It first manifested itself in Kansas on Tuesday and steadily grew to the colossal mag- mtude it attained yesterday. It was accompanied by an unusually low bar- ometer for the- season. The rainfall in this neighborhood from 10 a. m. to 10 o clock last night was nearly two inches. ' Dr: Hicks, the St. Louis weather prophet, claims the big cyclone. He says hepredicted it. The Doctor says there Will also be spectacular transcon- tinental storms, beginning on Tuesday and ending on Friday next. He says rain, hail, thunder'and lightning Will rush and roar from the West to the At- lantic coast, and will be succeeded by cold weather and frost. In_and about the borough a large tree in front of the residence of Joseph B. Ells’ house on Camp street was blown down and across the electric light .wires and breaking them; an electric light.wire on Harbor aveniIe was snapped in two; several hundred feet of a tin roof on the Arnold foun- dry on Hoyt street was ripped 011‘ and hurled into a tree some distance away ; the large Willow tree in front of the Ellwood place on Cross street was blown down; one of the arms on the gates at the Water street railr0ad cross- ing was snapped in two as if but a match '_. the Wind played sad havoc With several small boats in the harbor; a large number of fences were razed, and Window lights blown out in various parts of the town ; the roof of the foun- dry on Mechanfc street was consider- ably damaged,_ as was also that on the Hoyt brick building on Hoyt street. An extraordinaril high tide set in during the night an flooded the mold- ing room of the A. J. Meeker & Co. foundry, causin damage in excess of fifty dollars- be water also caused damage of over $100 in the storehouses of the firm setting fire to several bar- rels of lime, and ruining bags of feed, etc. The tide was fully eight inches higher than known at that point for many. years and some three or four feet higher than the ordinary tide. It floated debris out into Smith street. That the damage to the firm was no . larger seems remarkable. At the propeller wharf slight damage was done, beyond the floating ofi‘ of a few half gallon Jugs. At the other wharves in the Borough the damage done was nominal. In Westport the roof on the Hubbell & Bradley building was torn ofi and landed in the street, and considerable damage was also done to other build- ings. At Wilson Point considerable dam- age was done to sailing craft, and the railroad tracks were inundated with water to a depth of several inches. A number of sheds were demolished by the wind. - The wind did great damage at Bridge- port smashing skylights, tearing ofi' limbs of trees. Frail buildings Were blown‘ down or wrecked. Great dam- agewas done at Seaside Park. The pa- yillion was damaged to a considerable extent. It was reported that a schoon- er was ashore at Stratford. Her name . could not be learned. The skylight on the Seaside club was blown ofl' as well as that on the Sanford building. The greatest Single piece of damage was the shop of the E. C. &. B. At 9:15 the Wind struck’it with almost inconceiv- able violence and lifted bodily a por-' tion of the roof over the machine de- partment some 50 by 25 feet in extent. Pieces of the planking were carried 250. feet to the southwest and 200 feet dis- tant, several smashed through the half inch glass in the skylights- The water poured through the building all night upon the en ne_s and costly machinery. _Wind an rain played havoc among hig and little boats in the harbor. Bus- iness was at a standstill. Eearly in the day many thlgs With barges in tow put into port. he harbor was crowded With all sorts of craft. Hundreds of oyster vessels lay on the east side of harbor above the Naugatuck dock and below on the west side. The big three masted schooner Crocker lying at an- chor Just .inside the break-water was torn from'its anchorage and driven up. on'th'e mud flats. At New Haven the storm was one of the most severe along the coast for some months. The New Haven Steam- boat Co’s. boat, the NOrtham, was not at her dock at 9'.o’clock, an hour aftet her usual time, and it was supposed at the ofices that she was at anchor down the sound waiting for the storm to blow over. All along' the shore the steam- boat men report hard weather during the afternoon and evening. . Balsam relieves colds ip.‘ - 16-tf Q —Hale’s Lun caused by the (gt SOUTH NORWALK.

A special meeting of Old Well H. A}: Company will be held this evening for - the purpose of electing officers to fill the positions of those Whose resigna- tions have been received by the secre- tary. During yesterday’s storm several panes of glass in the People’s Marks were blown out, a let a tree in front of the residence if Mrs. ‘. Hill was razed, and considera le damage was done in various parts of the city. ,No small amount of damage was also done along the wharves. The finest play ever seen in our city was “ The Crust of Society,” at Music Hall last evening. The company was all that could be desired and the few people who braved the fury of. the storm to attend the play, expressed themselves as more than satisfied with the evening’s entertainment. The propeller Eagle lies high and dry on Long Beach. The accident was caused by a mistake in time. During the night the high tide drove the ves- sel higher up and she now rests there. She is now in the hands of the Insur- ance Underwriters, Who have her in charge and will superintend her re.- mo‘val. She is not leaking. The Taylor brothers, Edward and Frank, had quite an amusing experi- ence during last night’s storm. They were sleeping in a scow and' the high Wind and big tide caused the scow to float away from her moorings and sail up to Water street While the occupants were unconscious of what was going on. When they awoke this morning.an_d found themselves high and dry, it is needless to say that they were more than surprised. - WESTON. Town Clerk D. L.
