USED ll RAZOR. A Free FightAmong the Italians. One Man Badly Cut. As officer Maney was patrolling his beat in South Norwalk at an early hour this morning a man came running up to him and said that Dr. Allen wanted him at his office on Washington street. The officer promptly responded and found Dr. Allen at work sewmg up a long cut in the back of Cosman Megno.. The officer was 'told that Megno had been cut with arazor duringa fight between two gangs of Italians, who are working for Contractor Brown on the Consolidated Road’s improvements below Whistleville. After gathering the facts the ofiicer went outside and blew his whistle calling Captain Cole- grove and Officer Pennington. The captain examined the wound, which ex- tended six inches across the man’s back. The cut on his coat when measured was found to be twelve inches in length. An artery had been cut and the man had bled profusely. As soon as the wounded man’s injur- ies had been cared for by Dr. Allen, Officer Maney secured a. carriage and accompanied by Officer Pennington started for the barracks to arrest the man Who had done the cutting. When they arrived they found that the man, who was only known as George, had fled and he was not captured. The officers, however, succeeded in arrest- ing Joseph Armand, afriend of George, who had,drawn a revolver and threat- ened to shoot any one who interfered with George. Armand was brought to the station house together with his self- acting French revolver. When the case was brought before Justice Bar- rett he fined Armand $7 and costs and sentenced him to thirty days in jail. As far as it could be learned it seems that the fight was between two different gangs and that George, who did the cutting, was the foreman of one of them. It is said that at one time every member of both gangs were participa- ting in the fight, and that when the ofiicers visited the but they saw a num- gaer of men with black eyes and bruised aces. ->———__ There was a lively time at the Gem theatre in East Norwalk on Saturday last. Early in the afternoon sherifi' Ton- er visited the place With an attachment in favor of the musician, but found everything had been placed in Mrs. Kling’s name and there was nothing to attach. In the evening Constable Ire- land visited the Gem with another at- tachment in favor of the actors, but he too failed to connect. After the enter- tainment in the evening a dance was held, which far outdid anything ever known in quiet East Norwalk. There were three women present and about one hundred men and boys. The girls being scarce there was considerable ri- valry as to which one of the men should receive a partner. During the scramble Leonard Whitney received several blows in the face from one of the ac- tresses, and in a short time a free fight was in prgress. Whiskey bottles flew around the hall, faces were battered and noses punched. The battle waxed hot for a time, but was finally stopped before anyone was killed or badly hurt. f /‘ WEEKLY-"NORWALK‘-GAZETTE. Sudden Death. _ . Moses Byxbee, _a well-known citizen of Norwalk, residing on France street, died very suddenly this morning. Mr. Byxbee was on his way to a house which he has recently had erected on the old Westport road. When in front of the County Children’s Home he was suddenly taken with a hemorrhage and dropped to the ground, bleeding pro- fusely from the mouth. He was taken into the residence of Mrs. George Low near by and soon after expired. Some months since the deceased was engaged in digging a well and in re- moving a large stone he suffered a strain which resulted in a hemorrhage. He however regained his wontedihealth, and had not since sufi’ered any ill con- sequences from the accident. This morning to a friend who asked him as to how he was feeling, he ans- wered “ Never felt better in my life.” Mr. Bvxbee leaves a wife and two children—Mr. Frederick Byxbee and Mrs. Frederick Scofield. A Coming Event. Invitations have been issued by Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Bartram for the mar- riage of their daughter Jessie to Bay Washburn of Jersey City. The cere- mony is to occur at the resrdence of the bride’s parents in Bridgeport, Thursday evening, March 1, at o’clock. Only members of the families and immediate friends are inv1ted. Miss Bartram is a society belle, ox- ceedingly agreeable and highly accom- plished. "'ha? "'1'.” IDO. Medical writers claim that the suc- cessful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating. easy of application, and one that will reach the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The his- tory of the efforts to treat catarrh is proof positive that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely’s Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered ca- tarrh as nothing else has ever done, and both physicians and patients free- ly concede this fact. Our druggists keep it. , ‘0 Enough For A Necklace. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Gregory had stewed oysters among other things for breakfast Sunday morning. As Mrs. Gregory attempted to cut a large oyster which seemed inclined to stick to the bottom of the plate. the oyster-spoon came in contact with some hard sub stance. Investigation showed that the oyster had simtyfivc pearls in its inside pocket. Enough for a necklace. The Weekly Record says there is lit- }:le improvement in the real estate mar.- 'et.

A Norwalk Man Robbed. A man named Smith, belonging in Norwalk, drove to this city Saturday afternoon and left his horse and sleigh standing on Elm street. Returning in a couple of hours he found that the robe and his overcoat, which he had left in the sleigh, were missing. The robe he discovered hanging across a fence near by, and the overcoat was found further down the street. The pockets had been rifled and several dollars taken from a pocketbook in one of the pockets. It is thought the thief intended to carry off the robe and coat, but fearing detection, changed his mind and cleaned out the pockets of the coat instead—Stamford Advocate. +>—_ __..__..._ Obituary.

The paying of the above bills was followed by a petition from the report- ers of the several newspapers asking for better table accommodations. The prayer was referred to Councilman Boyer with power. The report of the city treasurer was read and accepted. A communication from Hope Hose company was presented and laid on the table. Councilman Osborn as chairman of the committee on police reported on the claims of the ex-police. He was of the opinion that if the court had power to hire they also had power to discharge or discipline. They, the ex-ofiicers, had appeared before the court, and at least one of the number had resigned. The police committee were unanimous in not recognizing the claims presented. The report was accepted and it was a unanimous vote that the claims be not entertained. Councilman Boyer reported favora- bly on the clerk of the Water Commis- sioners bond, and was sustained by the Council. Gustav Grupe was appointed to suc- ceed his father as constable at the Grupe reservoir. ‘The Water Commissioners reported a balance in the treasury, Jan. lst, 1894, of $4,447,25, less an outstanding indebtedness of $3,908. 30.

Councilman Wheeler brought to at- tention the claim of the Norwalk Gas Light company against what‘was the borough of Norwalk and suggested that a committee be appointed to make a settlement in which all concerned would be benefitted, or at least that a ‘ ‘feasible” settlement be brought about. It was voted that the city defend the claim of Sarah M. Hall for damages against the city for injuries received by a fall on the walk in front of the Norwalk hotel some months since. Mayor Keeler granted permission for coasting on the hill leading into Maple street but wisely barred'out the use of the deadly double-ripper. Councilman Pinneo stated that he had received complaints from-the resi~ dents in the vicinity of the Electric Light Plant that the Company were throwing their exhaust steam into the sewer on Wilton avenue, as detrimental to the health of those living in the neighborhood, and it was voted. that the company be instructed to discon- tinue the nuisance. - The committee on fire department matters reported progress, and the committee and,their work was contin- ued. Chairman of the police committee Osborn reported that there was cloth- ing at the police headquarters that might be utilized for the benefit of the poor and he was instructed to utilize to that end. City Clerk Lockwood ofiered a sug- gestion which finally became a “law,” that the police turn over all monies that come into their possession through arrests or judgments by the trying justices, to the city treasurer, and after- ward draw the fees due them from the treasurer. The suggestion was formed into a resolution and so passed. Councilman Osborn made a motion that all bills be properly audited be- fore being paid. The motion was quite proper and consequently received the full approbation of the Council. Councilman Wheeler, raked up what he called “ancient history” in reference to a vote passed at a borough meeting, duly called, etc., at which meeting it was voted that a sewer be constructed on Butler Street. He said that he had been “beautifully set down on” by the Court of Burgesses, all of whom possi- bly wished him no harm ; nevertheless he wished the present councilmen to know that he had not forgotten the edict of the borough meeting. His “prayer” was referred to the committee on sewers. _ The different committees reported as follows on the expenses of the city gov- ernment for the ensuing year: Finance, $18,000 *Sewers, 2,000 Police, 4, 400 Highway, 5,000 ' 'l‘*Fire, 2, 000 Lights, 6,7 50 "* Sewers—outside of new construction. ** Fire—outside of proposed. expenditure of $3,000 for improvements.
