At the call of a Connecticut Regent of the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution a number of Nor- walk ladies and gentlemen gathered last evening at the residence of E. J. Hill to discuss measures looking to the celebration next summer of the two hundred and forty~fourth anniversary of the founding of this ancient _town. After a terse statement of the Object of the meeting from the honorable host of occasion, the Rev. Dr. Noble was called to the choir and J. Belden Hurl- butt, Esq., elected scribe. The intro- ductory remarks of the State Regent were listened to with attention andthe argument that a field, rich as is Nor- walk in antiquated lore should be so cultivated and developed as to afford, especially to the young, 9. continuous course of historic and patriotic educa- tion was convincing. The company was unanimous in the conviction of the pro- priety of the proposed observance. and of so utilizing the interest which might thereby be elicited as to be able to monumentally mark, from “Father- ford” to the towne’s end,” this old plantation’s multiplied historic locali- ties. In grateful recognition not alone of Norwalk’s noble past, but of its well grounded hopes of a still nobler future its citizens are bound to generously contribute to the success of this elevat- - ing and excellententerprise. The following committee was appoint- ed and will meet next. Monday evening at the home of E. J. Hill and arrange the preliminary plans for the celebra- tion: Mayors Keeler and Lee and Se- lectman Baker, representing the town; J. C. Randle, Winnipauk; M. H. Par- sons, Five Mile River; J. R.

An adjourned meeting Of the Nor- walk City Council was held Monday evening, his honor, Mayor E. O.

Earle in the matter of widen- ing East avenue, and they were accept- ed and ordered recorded in the town clerk’s office. . Councilman Adams, chairman of the “highway committee, reported progress on the East avenue improvements and stated that he had deemed it advisable to let the removal of the trees out by contract, and that they had all been so removed. 'lhe work Of removing and resetting the fence he had also let out by contract. Councilman Pinneo suggested that the chairman of the highway commit- tee get an estimate of the cost of im- provements on East avenue other than those already provided for in front of the Earle place and thought the pres- ent as being as good a time as any to secure such estimate. ' ‘ Councilman Osborn did not. Object to the suggestion of Councilman Pinneo’s prevailing but thought the council ought not to act hastily in the matter of making such improvement, and be- lieved that a proposition to make cer- tain changes on that avenue ought to come from the property owners, else after the work was commenced there would be an injunction or two as the owners did not all seem willing to act as liberally as had Mr. Earle in the matter. They ought to at least make/ some concessions. Councilman Wheeler was of the opin- ion that the property owners ought to act liberally in the matter or the work for the present, anyhow, left alone. The election of the officers of the Fire Police, April 4th, as: ln-esented by the secretary of the force, was ratified. Councilman Boyer, chairman of the finance committee, reported that he had canceled $94,272.95 of the borough notes and had succeeded in placing a greater portion of the new city notes at 4% per cent. interest and believed; that in a few days he could make a similar disposal of the entire amount. Acting on the instruction of the Council he burned the old borough notes. ' The following report of the commit- tee appointed to act in the matter of re-organizing Hope Hose company was read and accepted: After a thorough investigation we find that there are two different fac- tions fighting for supremacy and we also find that there are a few men who belong to this company who are to say the least no good to the company, and we find the present captain cannot gov- ern the company properly and we do not believe any man belonging to the company can be appointed captain who can, and therefore would recommend that this company be disbanded and reorganized under new management and as we believe it is for the public interest of the city would recommend, Mr. James B. Costello be appointed by the council to act in conjunction with the chief engineer in reorganizing this company. > ALFRED A. CHINERY, E. L. Borne, J. ARTHUR PINNEO, J. T. PROWITT. On motion Of Councilman Wheeler it was voted that the company be dis- banded, and the property taken charge of by chief of police Bradley, and the chiéf was formally instructed by the --mayor to act in accordance with such vote. - It was voted that James B. Costello act with the chief engineer in the mat- ter of reorganizing the Hope Hose company. Councilman Osborne was instructed to procure cloth to be used for fire police uniforms. It' was voted that the city attor- ney notify all property owners to place in good repair all sidewalks in front of their respective premises. The committee on placing an elec- tric light on Riverside avenue was con- tinued. It was voted to call a special city meeting Monday, April 23d, at 3 p. m., fer the purpose of taking action on ordering a sewer constructed on Butler street, to connect with the Orchard street sewer. The council then adj ourned. Sudden Death. George Beers, of NO. 5 Berkeley street, died very suddenly at an early hour Sunday morning. Saturday after- noon Mr. Beers took a long walk, and returned home rather weary, but appar- ently in his usual health. About eleven o’clock his wife noticed that he was breathing peculiarly, and soon after summoned a physician, who prescribed for him, but he was stricken with apo- plexy and died at 2 o’clock. The de- ceased learned the hatte’r’s trade with the late Zalmon Lyon. He did not con- tinue at the business, and went to work at the Asa Smith pottery, where he continued for thirty or more years, and left only after the pottery changed hands. He was of a retiring dispOsiQ tion, and a man who had many friends. His wife survives him. The deceased was in the 76th year of his age. _. -pw Death of Henry Ives. _Henry S.

The propeller Vulcan, Capt. W. H. Bouton, left her wharf in New York, at 5:30 o’clock, Tuesday afternoon, for this city. When opposite the foot of Jackson street, a large float, belonging to the Lehigh Valley road, in tow of the tug Robert H. Sayer struck the Vulcan on the port side, tearing off the guard, part of the deck, plankshire, joiner work and rail. Captain Bouton claims to have sound- ed the proper signals to avert a collis- sion. There was a very strong tide running at the time. The Vulcan was run back to her wharf again, and the damage tempor- arily repaired, when at 7:20 o’clock she again started out, reaching South Nor- walk shortly after 12 o‘clock. She had a heavy freight Os. board, none Of which was damaged. 1 The bunks, etc., on the Vulcan were this morning transferred to the Eagle, which had been laid up here for re- pairs, and there will be no delay in the traffic.

A dispatch recieved this morning, from Dr. James G. Gregory, who was ~summoned to Washington, to prescribe for Thomas S. Morison. conveys the in- formation that Mr. Morison’s condition is critical with little if any hopes Of his recovery. ________ a- The usual treatment of catarrh is very unsatisfactory, as thousands can testify. Proper local treatment is pos- itively necessary to success, but many, if not most, of the remedies in eneral use aflbrd but temporary re ief. A cure certainly cannot be expected from snufi's, powders, douches and washes. Ely’s Cream Balm, which is so highly commended, is a remedy which com- bines the important requisites of quick action, specific curative power, with perfect safety and pleasantness to the , patient.

Between half past three and four o’clock Sunday morning, William Kel- logg who lives at the east end of the Benedict farm bridge was awakened by the noise made by the horses kick- ing in Miner D. Randall’s barn on East avenue at the rear of the tide mill at the west end of the bridge. Mr. Kel- logg arose and looking out Of the win- dow discovered the barn in flames. He quickly gave the alwrm and Mr. Ran- dall and several 1..-;-.;hbors gotouta garden hose and endeavored to put out the fire but it was beyond their control. At about ten minutes to four o’clock an alarm was sounded on the East Nor- walk fire bell, bringing out the depart~ ment. Two lines. of hose were laid from the hydrant in front of Mr. Ran- dall’s residence on Riverside avenue and the two streams were soon playing on the burning building, but the fire was under too much headway and was not extinguished until the barn was . consumed. In the barn were three of Mr. Rari- dall’s horses, but owing to the flames they could not be rescued and were consumed in their stalls. There were five vehicles in the barn which were also consumed; one three-seat pleasure wagon, one two-seat wagon, a buggy, a phaeton and a new builders wagon which had just been completed by Til- ley and used but once. In addition to these were all of the doors, blinds etc. recently brought from the court house at Middletown, a car load of shingles and a car load of mouldings. Mr. Ran- dall estimates that there was fully $2,000 worth of lumber in the building at the time. A hoisting machine and a planer were in the barn, but the former wasnot badly damaged. The fire was evidently the work of_an incendiary as no fire of any description was ever in the barn and there was no way it could have originated unless set on fire. When first discovered the en- tire base of the building was encircled by the flames. ' _ . Considerable complaint is made by the East Norwalk citizens over the con- duct of the Volunteer hose company, which had recently disbanded, but re- sponded to the alarm and endeavored to run things at the fire. It is said that when the Mayflower’s blew the novzle off their line of hose the Volunteer’s refused to allow the hydrant to be shut off while they coupled the nozzle on again, and that at one time both com- panies were engaged in a duel With the hose, playing water upon each other instead of the fire. . ' . _ Notwithstanding the hard _feelings displayed by these organizations the fire was extinguished before it had communicated with the Old mill or any of the neighboring buildings. The second story of the barn was oc- cupied by J. Morgan, the stair builder, who lost everything. . During the excitement attending the fire William LeCount was struck in the eye by a stream of water, badly cutting it and nearly destroying the sight. Mr. Randall estimates his loss on the barn and wagon shop, which adjoined the barn, at $4,500 on which he has about $1,650 insurance. ANOTHER. About midnight Saturday night an alarm of fire was sounded from box 53 which is located near the _New Canaan road, in a section of the city known as Cobble Hill. The fire department responded with its usual alacrity and were soon at the scene. The fire proved to be confined to a barn owned by Roger McGinnis. The. supply wagon and Phoenix Engine com- pany were the first to arrive and'soon had a stream on the flames, Hope Hose company quickly following. . But-in the meantime the flames had made such rapid progress, all attempts to save the building or its contents were fruitless. The first intimation Roger had of the fire was aloud kicking at the frontdoor of his house, and some one yelling, “Get up Roddy, your barn is on fire.” Roddy hastily dressed himself and going .to the barn assisted in. getting his horse out alive but the animal was so horribly burned he was shot Sunday afternoon in order to put him out of his agony. Five bullets were sent into his head before a fatal shot was fired. A dump cart and a buggy, or rather portions of each were saved. About two tons of hay, some grain, farming implements, and tools used by Roddy in his business as catch basin cleaner were destroyed. There was no insur- ance on the barn or its contents. It is stated that the horse was insured with C. B. Coolidge for $150. . . Fortunately the wind was blowmg in an opposite direction from the house or that building must surely have taken fire. Mr. McGinnis is of the opinion that the barn was fired by some of his ene- mies, and is positive that it was of .in- cendiary origin as he had made it a rule never to go to the barn in the dark, always taking the precaution of feed- ing his horse,even on the shortest days " by daylight. ' t was only last Saturday that chair- man Pinneo of the sewer committee had awarded McGinnis the work of cleaning out the city catch basins and he expected to commence work on the same this morning. The loss is a serious one to Mr. Mc- Ginnis. v—OO. $100 Reward, $100.
