The GAZETTE came very near having
a first-class boycott on its hands to-day,
owing to an order issued last_ evening-
by Superintendent Edwin G. Hoyt, of
the Norwalk Horse Railroad. Late in
the afternoon, Thursday, we were ad-
vised by one of the _ GAZETTE’S news-
dealers that he hid been notified by an
employee of the road that he had re-
ceived orders not to carry him any
more GAZETTES. This morning a rep-
resentative of the GAZETTE called upon
President Kimmey and inquired if such
an order had been issued by him. Mr.
Kimmey assured the representative
that he, had not issued such an order,
and furthermore, that if such an order
was issued by superintendent Hoyt it
should not be enforced, as no order
discriminating against the GAZETTE
would be allowed. We suppose that"
Superintendent Hoyt issued his little
order because the GAZETTE published
an account of his being’seen listening
outside the centraltel‘ephone office door
on Wednesday night, which it is un-
derstood he denies and smooths over
in his own inimitable way, but as a GA-
ZETTE representative personally saw
him at the door with his head bent for-
ward listening and also heard the re-
mark he made when he found he was
discovered, it is quite probable that
those who are acquainted with the Sn.
perintendent’s ways will take any ex-
cuse he may make for his position at
the door with a full grain cf salt.

solely to its superiority over all others

In the House Thursday a bill defining
and punishing a “ common cheat ” was
passed after a warm debate.
It defines one as any person who ob-
tains food, clothing, fuel. lodging,rent,
etc., with intent . to defraud, or who
habitually contractssuch debts, in ex-
cess of usual income, except in case of
sickness. If credit is obtained by false
pretenses, that is prima facie evidence
of intent to defraud. Evidence as to
previous habit admissible. Intemper-
ance or unenforced idleness not a suf-
ficient excuse. Penalty, fine not ex-
ceeding 8200, or imprisonment not ex-
ceeding six months, or both. Prosecu-
tion shall withdraw if debt and costs be
paid, provided there has been no pre-
vious conviction. . - ,

Denie‘s the Charges.
The preliminary hearing upon the
petition of Church & Church, attorneys
for Daniel Drawbaugh, asking that a“
rule be issued upon W. E. Saimonds,
late commissioner of patents, and Fos-
ter & Freeman, attorneys for the Amer-
ican Bell Telephone company. to show
cause why they should not be disbarred
from practicing before the department,
was given Wednesday by Commissioner
Seymour.
It is charged that with the conniv-
ance of Messrs. Simonds, Foster and
Freeman and Chief Clerk Bennett,
copies of certiin records in the Draw-
baugh telephone case, presumably in
the secret archives of the patent office
had been unlawfully copied in the in-
terest of the Bell company. Commis-
sioner Seymour stated that he would
hear counsel upon the motion filed b
the defendants that Church & Churc
be required to make their charges
more specific.
Melville Church then addressed the
commissioner. He said that at present
they were unable to make their charges
more explicit, nor was it in his opinion
necessary. He made a strong plea for
a thorough investigation. Arguments-
were ;also made by J. J. Storrow of
Boston, attorney for the Bell Telephone
sompany, Judge Jere Wilson of Wash-
ington, representing Foster and Free-
man and ex-Representative Payson of
Illmors on behalf of Mr. Simonds.
The latter also spoke in his own be-
half. He said the whole matter was -
treated in strict accordance with the
rules 'of the office. The 1880 Draw-
baugh application was an abandoned
application, and a copy of it was pro-
perlygiven. The 1884 application was
treated as a pending application, and
the copy was denied. If alisiy man‘ would
make a direct and spec' c charge of.
acts committed by him while commis- .
siener of patents which were illegal
and wrong , he (Simonds) wouldha‘ul

The commissioner said he would at
‘once issue the rule petitioned for "and-

_ . The Injunction.
Attorney Winthrop H. Perry of the
Tramway company appeared before
Judge F. B. Hall, at Bridgeport,.Thurs-
day and had the hearing'on the injunc-
tion granted to the Horse Railroad
company set for Saturday. Judge Hall
also gave the Tramwa company per-
mission to complete t eir track at all
points where they had opened the street,
provided the attorneys for the Horse
Railroad would agree, but when a
written notice was served'on them by
' Mr. Perry to allow the Tramway com-
pan to do so, and thus accomodate the
pub 'c, he was met by a refusal, con-
sequently the dirt in front of the Opera
House stores will have to remain until
the injunction is dissolved, which no
doubt will be done on Saturday.
Warden Sloan also called upon the
Horse Railroad .company’s . attorney
this morning and requested that the
Borough bet-allowed to fill in the dirt
over the crosswalks, so that pedestrians
could cross the street, but the attorney
positively refused to allow the work to
be done by the Borough.
It is understood that Attorney Hurl- ~
butt has another injunction granted to
Mrs. Weed which he proposes to_serye
as soon as the present injunction is dis-
solved, but it is safe to say‘that neither
injunction will amount to anything
more than an expence to the parties
securing them, and the Tramway com-
pany will soon be running care through - ' ‘
Norwalk.
