New Schoolhouse for Norwaik.
At the meeting of the senators and
representatives of Fairfield county at
Bridgeport Wednesday, to lay a county
tax for the coming year, every senator
and representative was present with
two exceptions. The meeting instruct-
ed the County Commissioners to build
a new workhouse at the Bridgeport
jail, the cost not to exceed $5,000. Pro-
vision was also made for the erection
of a new schoolhouse in connection
with the County home at N orwalk, the
some not to cost over $5,000. A tax of
half a mill was laid to defray the ex-
pense attendant upon the erection of
these buildings, to cover the county’s
share of the cost of a new bridge over
the Housatonic river, to provide for
the erecting of fenders and approaches
at Washington bridge, and to meet the
accrued interest on outstanding county
bonds.
$10,000 Damages.
Deputy Sheriff Toner this morning
served papers on the City of Norwalk
in a suit for $10, 000 damages brought by
Mrs. Sarah A. Hall, through her attor-
ney John J. Walsh. It will be remem-
bered that Mrs. Hall sustained injuries
that it is alleged has crippled her for
life, fromn fall caused by a defective
sidewalk in front of the Norwalk hotel,
in January, 1892. A bill for actual ex-
penses incurred by Mrs. Hall, by rea-
son of the accident and amounting to
something over $400 was presented to
the borough but on the following ad-
Vice of the borough attorney the claim
was not allowed:
GENTLEMEN'—-With reference to this claim
of Mrs. Hall 1 have to advise you that it‘ the
claimant receiyed her injuries by reason of a
defect in the hi hway or sidewalk. such defect
was not caused y any act of the borough of
Norwalk. If the borough settles the claim it
would have no right of action against the per-
son who caused the defect. If a suit is brought
the borough should notify the person who
made the walk or highwa defective to de-
fend the action; and if he id not defend, the
borough‘should defend and call on him to re-
imburse it.
I must therefore advise the borough not
so pay anything on the claim.
Very truly yours.

SECRETARY onumsrinis REPORT
Recmn mend zit-ions is
Otile‘.’
One for an Income .fl‘ax.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-—The annual
report of John G. Carlisle, secretary of
the treasury, has just been submitted to
congress. -
The secretary estimates the revenues of
the government for the fiscal year which
will end on June 30 next at $430,131,000,
and that the expenditures for the same
period will be $438.121,U00, leaving a de-
ficiency of $28,000,u00 for the year._ He
mentions that there are Pacific railroad
bonds, known as “currency sixes,” issued
in aid of the Pacific railroads, falling due
within the year 1894, to the amount of
$2,3d2,000, which must be paid at matur-
ity, and recommends that congress take
action at this session to provide for them.
He suggests as a means of enabling the
government to promptly meet the
emergency and to provide a larger reserve
fund seVernl courses of action. One is
the issue of 3 per cent. five year bonds in
small amounts, to be disposed of through
the sub-treasuries and postoflices to our
own people; anothi-r, the issue of $50,000”
000 in one year, 3 per cent. bonds at, par.
Until the effect of the repeal of the
Sherman silver purchase is more fully de-
veloped he does not consider it advisable
to recommend further specific legislation
on that subject. He favors legislation to
authorize a more extended use of silver
certificates. He refers to the opinion of
his predecessor and of the late attorney-
general that; the gain of seigiiorage result-
ing from the coinage of the silver bullion
as it progresses constitutes a part of the
general assets of the treasury, and states
, that he has ordered the mint! at New Or-
leans and San Francisco to be kept in
readiness to commence the coinage of
standard silver dollars at any time when
required.
He champions the system of substitut-
ing ad valorem duties fpr specific duties
in the collection of customs, and reco m-
meuds an increase of 10 cents a. gallon in
the internal revenue tax on distilled
spirits; the imposxtion of additional inter.
nal revenue taxes on cigars and cigarettes;
tbe imposition of new taxes on playing
cards, cosmetics, perfumeries, legacies,
and successions, and incomes derived
from inwstments in bonds and stocks of
corporations and joint stock companies.

'Court of Burge‘sses.
An adjourned meeting of the Court
of Burgesses was held Menday evening.
An unusually large batch of' bills was
presented and aggregated $2,175.
Among the number were those of H.
W. Kemp for $500 as 'collector, the
Warden and Court of Burgesses each
$25, F. J. McKeon, health inspector,
$33, and other borough officials their
usual salaries.
The usual appropriations of $25 were
made to each of the fire companies with
the exception of Hope Hose company
that amount having been previously
paid to the company.
Messrs. A. A. Martin, George North-
rop and T. J. Howard who were fined
fifteen days pay for alleged neglect of
duty, presented, on the advice of coun-
sel bills for the amount of their several
fines. The bills were tabled.
The'bill of D. Conley for $94 for con-
struction of the catch basin at the cor-
ner'of Stuart avenue and Stevens street
was referred to con mittee on sewers.
The bill of the Norwalk and South
Norwalk Electric Light company for
placingpf light on Step Bock road and.
amounting to $30.45. was referred to
the chairman of the committee on
lights, he to report at the next meeting
of the court.
Nelson Benedict was present and
stated that for some years past he had
paida borough tax on his property on
Lexmgton avenue, and ,that it had
Since been shown that at least 6-10ths of
the property so taxed was out of the
borough. Had paid $70.80 taxes, and
thought he ought to get a portion 01
such taxes back. The matter was re-
ferred to highway committee to in-
vestigate and report.
Chief Engineer Prowitt made the
following report :
To the Warden and Court ofBurgesscs:
GENTLEMEN :—Last year I made quite
a lengthy report showmg the losses by
fire during the year ; the insurance
thereon, together witha brief summary
of the condition and need of the de-
partment. The situation then was en-
tirely different from the present. It
was quite easy to make a report.
Last year the department was called
out fifteen times. The total loss by
fire was $3,000, and the insurance 31.-
445, and that was an exceptional year.
This year the department has been
called out only nine times. Eight calls
in_the borough and one call to help our
friends in South Norwalk. The loss
Will not exceed $750 ; fully insured.
The department considering how lit-
tle work we have had to perform, is in
good condition, ready to respond to
any alarm. The property is precisely
the same as last year. We have been
obliged to drop out some members, but
have added fully as many men, keep-
ing the department membership up to
its standard of 100.
The houses are in good condition;
the steamer has lately been inspected
and reported in good shape. The fire
alarm telegraph failed us December
4th, the alarm being rung in from one
of the cheap boxes, sending the depart-
ment in all directions. I advise now
just as I have done to each court for
the past four years, the removal of the
five cheap boxes and to substitute in
their place first-class Gamewell boxes,
thereby securing a safe and perfect line.
‘ Respectfully yours,
J. T. PROWITT,
Chief Engineer.
Owen Shannon wanted a large tree
near his premises on Cross street cut
down. No action was taken on his
prayer.
A communication from the Water
Commissioners asking for compensa-
tion for services rendered was read and
$25 was voted each of them out of the
water fund.
A petition from Oswald Smith and
others for employment on public works
was read, but no action was taken on
the petition. , -
The chairman of the finance commit-
tee was authorized to make a note to
meet the different sewer accounts.
Warden Sloan requested that the
chairmen of the different committees
turn over all monies due from their
several departments at the nextmeet-
ing of the Court.
lThe Court then adjourned until Fri-
day, December 29th.

A Mock Marriage. .
A young man hailing from Weston
was made the victim of a practical joke
Sunday night. Br accompanied two
young ladies homr. ..iid while on the
way proposed marriage to one of them.
She was agreeable, or pretended to be,
but told him that as she was a Catholic
and he a Protestant, she could not very
well marry him unless he espoused her
faith. This he said he was willing to
do. To have a bit of a lark she per-
mitted him to -go into the house, and
sent for several of her friends to wit-
ness the sport. Among the number
was a gentleman friend who Offered to
act the part of father confessor. Tak-
ing the young man into a side room a
confession was gotten from him of all
his past sins, some of which were of a
Very startling nature. He was then
baptized with cider and annointed with
vaseline, and declared ready for the
ordeal.
The young man then went into the
kitchen where the father of the girl sat
comfortably smoking a pipe, and get-
ting down on his knees gained the ca 11
sent of the stern parent for the hand of.
his daughter. .
The ceremony was then performed,
followed by a wedding march and a
feast. The couple were wished all
kinds of happiness. At last it came
time for the guests to depart, and they
invited the young man from-Weston to ,
go with them.
Right here the affair assumed a seri-
ous aspect, as the young man insisted
on staying. After considerable hard
work he was persuaded to leave. but
not until the “bride” had promised to
meet him at a date agreed upon. '
And now the affair has a still more
serious look as it is alleged the mar-
riage in the eyes of the law is legal.
Friends of the “bride” will seek legal
advice as it is reported that the “groom”
and his friends will insist on his rights.
The party who .perfOrmed the core-
mony is on nettles, as he fears arrest
for his part in the affair.
