m...“ . ) WEEKLY .4...\. ., I u wulruuumi CASE. Mrs. Thomas Stockton. of Lafay— ette. McKean 00.. Pa., has cause for rejoicing—Physicians in and out of Hospitals Experimented and Operated Upon Her Without the Least Benefits-Her Acknow— ledgement of the Great Good She Derived from a Simple Remedy— The~ Medical Profession Now Using the Same Means in Other Cases With Wonderful Results. LAFAYETTE, McKean 00., Pa.—The great interest shown in the recovery of Mrs. Thomas Stockton of this place, bids fair to attain natural importance. Every person living Within miles. of Lafayette well knows of the suffering she has borne for years past, and that she should seem now to have recovered so as to be about again, isgooked upon as almost miraculous. A statement of Mrs. Stockton’s case would interest so ' many that your correspondent has ob- tained full particulars. . "‘The first sympton inthe develop- ment of my disease,” says Mrs. Stock- ton, “was in my growmg very large. I consulted Dr. Ward of Mt. Alton, and he said that I had dropsy of the bowels; I kept growing worse_and it seemed to me I suffered everything but death. Dr. Ward advised'me to go_ to the Bradford, Penn., Hospital, which I did, and he operated upon me there, assisted by Dr. Nichols and Dr. James. I had been out of the hospital but a short while, when blood poisoning set in and my husband called in a physi- cian from Mt. Jewett, who attended me for three weeks and then said he could do no more for me and gave me up to die. My good husband then took me to Smethport to consult Dr. Free- man who wanted to operate upon me, but as I had already gone through one awful experience of that kind, I re- fused to again. After arriving back home, I made up my mind to try Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, as I had heard of‘it doing others so much good, so my husband went to Thomp- son & Wood’s drug store in Bradford and purchased a bottle and it certainly was a Godsend'to me. From the very first it seemed to help me, the pain I had endured constantly began to leave me, my appetite improved, and it was not long before I was around the house doing considerable work. In short, had it not been for Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, I believe I should have been in my grave to-day. I hope everyone suflering from dis- ease, especially women, will try this valuable medicine. I know of many here whoare using Favorite Remedy since it helped me so much, and in ‘ every case it has proved its great value.” ‘ .In speaking with one of our physi- cians about Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, he said : “In the discovery of Favorite Reme- dy, Dr. Kennedy produced the only true antidote for uric acid and as a blood purifier and nerve tonic it has no equal. Favorite Remedy for a time was supplied to patients only through physicians, but the demand became so great that Dr. Kennedy was obliged to place it on sale with all dealers in med- icine- It is a never failing specific in diseases of the skin, liver, kidneys and blood. It restores the disordered liver to a healthy condition, corrects the worst cases of habitual constipation, it is a certain cure for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women. It cures scrofula, salt rheum and erysipe- las. For nervousness, loss of sleep, or that worn out feeling, it has no equal. In cases _of rheumatism, dyspepsia, gravel, Bright’s disease, diabetes and bladder troubles it has cured where all other treatments have failed. Dr. Da- . Vid Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is sold by all dealers in medicine at $1 a bottle, or six bottles for $5, which brings a treatment within the reach of o AA A free use of the Excelsior water as a beverage, is to be highly recommend- ed. and is productive of permanently beneficial effects. As a diruetic, tonic and alter-ative it should be drank three or four times a day. At his store cor- ner of Wall and . River streets, Mr. James Hadden. has the genuine water on draught, and will sell it either by the glass, quart or gallon. See adv. urrY cuuuurr. '. ' A Compromise With the 'N'orwalk Gas Light Company. A Special City Meeting Called. A regular meeting of the City Coun- cil was held Monday evening, His Hon- or Mayor Keeler and the full board be- ing present. . . The following bills were ordered paid: Norwalk and South Norwalk Electric Light company, $498.06; Nor- walk Gas Light company, $15.66; Noa- 'WALK GAZETTE, $13.75; John H. Kin- ney, $31; Wm. Bartram, 331; B. N. Morehouse, $30; Wallace Dann, $37.50; Thomas Bradley, $37.50; S. A. French, $1.50; Uhling & 00., $8.02; C._ N.

The bill of Janitor Addison was re- ferred to the finance committee. . ' . The report of the chief of police, in which was incorporated the fact that there had been teh arrests in April and 617 roadsters furnished w1th lodgings, was read and accepted. A communication from. Hope .Hose company was received With a list of newly elected officers and the prayer in the same granted by the ratification of the officers electednby the company. A petition Was received from Buck- ingham Post, G. A. R., asking for an appropriation to be used in the observ- ance of Memorial day. Councilman Wheeler asked as to the custom of the “powers that be” in the past in such matters. . Councilmaii Adams moved that the matter be referred to the selectmen. Councilman Chinery suggested that the petition be tabled. _ . Councilman Pinneo thought it unwise and not right to make such appropria- tion. Councilman Adamsrsaid that.in his opinion the Council had no right to grant the prayer of the petitioners,and that it was wrong to establish such a precedent as other organizations could and probably would demand like recog- nition. ' . Councilman Osborne ceincided With the views of Mr. Adams. Councilman Chinery remarked that he had met Grand Army men who were not in favor of having the petition pre- sented. And the petition died, after the passage of the following resolution: ' Resolved, That while‘the disposition ’ of the Council individually is friendly toward Buckingham Post, yet as a pub- lic body we feel that we have no right to vote away public money except for public uses and that therefore the ap- plication must be denied.‘ ‘ A petition was presented for a sewer A, C. Golding and T. S. Vanderhoef. Councilman Osborne said that to his mind the only. ones to be benefitted were John F. Bennett and G.*W. Hunt- er, men who refused to meet the bore ough half way in the proposed improve- ments on that avenue, and he for one was not in favor of granting the prayer of the petitioners—mt present. The prayer was nicely tied up and placed in the hands of the sewer com- mittee, such committee to report at the next meeting of the council. Chairman Boyer of the finance com- mittee was authorized to borrow $1,000 on the credit of the city. He stated that he had succeeded in exchanging the last lot of the borough notes for city notes at a reduced interest andthe Council instructed him to burn the old notes which he did with alacrity and a match. The city attorney wasinstructed to see that the bonds of all city officials were properly made out and filed. The chairman of the highway com- mittee was directed to furnish a list to the city clerk and attorney of all those who had sidewalks out of repair, that he might order the same put in repair. . _ - A report of the committee on the re- organization of the fire department ac- companied by plans and in text as fol- he New Yur Wee Iy Tribune AND ‘ rrr w rrLr urz rr One Year, Address all orders ' ‘ . urn/um flstLLflR. to the GAZETTE.

J. T. Pnowrrr. E. L. Borax. J. A. PINNEo, A. A. CHINEni‘. E. S. ADAiis. Committee. Editor B. W. Maples of the Hour was given permission to “say some- thing” and he took advantage of the opportunity by bringing to the atten- tion of - the council in forcible language the fact that some of. the best shade trees in town were liable to go the demnition bow-wows_if immediate ac- tion was not taken in the premises. He called attention to trees on both of the main avenues of our city and thought it a shame that they should be permitted to perish, and inciden- tally mentioned the Disbrow preventa- tive. Like a faithful attorney, the city counsellor raised the question as to who owned the trees. Councilman Boyer, without malice aforethought, modestly asked as to why the trees in front of Mr. Disbrow’s place seemed to be in- no better health than those which had received the Dis- brow cure. Councilman Adams, who was in New Haven Monday, stated that he had been informed that after all known treatment and nursing over 300 elms had been cut down in that city. The matter was left with. the high- way committee with power. . The report of the committee in the case of the Norwalk Gas Light com- pany vs. the Borough of Norwalk was then submitted and was a subject of much discussion. The committee sug- gested that the claim be compromised and a settlement arrived at outside of the courts where the case has been on trial for some years. . Councilman Boyer said that the “borough” had already expended over $1,200 in defense of the suit, and even though they had won in.tlie lower courts. he did not believe it policy to fight in the higher courts necessitating more expense, when perhaps the city might be worsted on some technicality or flaw. Councilman Wheeler was of the opinion that while the council might be severely criticized in making such a compromise he, as a tax-payer, thought it better and as an economical measure to compromise. Councilman Osborn _ was excused from giving an expresswn as he was a director of the Gas company. Councilman Pinneo voiced the opin- ion of all by saying the matter ought to have been settled 1011,. ago. But as matters now stood was in favor pf a cempromise. Councilman Adams, one of the coni- mittee, said that he was in the minori- ty and that he objected tothe report being accepted. He considered the amount demanded by the Gas cémpany as being excessive. Had been on com- mittees in the matter four times before. There were~lots of items on the bill that ought not to be there. Remem- bered that while a member of the court of burgesses. that an offer had. been made to settle with the Gas company, an offer which he claimed was less-than half the Amount now asked, and which he understood would have been ac- cepted, but for the fact that the presi- dent ;claimed he never knew of any such offer. He did not wish to throw cold .water on the amicable settlement of a mat claim; but the amount claimed was excessive, and he for one would not vote in favor of its acceptance. Councilman Pinneo begged to be ex- cused and was granted permission by the Mayor. The following resolution was then presented: Resolved. That the report and recommend- gate the matter of the suit of the Gas com- pany against the city he accepted. The following councilmen voted in favor of its acceptance: Boy er, Os- borne, Wheeler. Against, Adams and Chinery. Mayor Keeler declared in favor of the resolution as passed. As an addenda (and a vrtal one) the followung .resolution was passed the vote standing as on the first: Resolved. That the-suit of the said Gas Light company vs. the City be settled by the city paving to the Norwalk Gas Light com- pany the sum of $750.85 Wit-h interest from May 1st, 1888, and ans-half of the tonal costs of the suit upon condition that. the said Gas Light company gives to the citya release in full of all claims for damazfs of any nature by reason of the acts comp amed of in said action. A petition from Dwyer’s City of Nor. walk band for money was put in the ham Post, G. A. R. and for the same reason. ' . Councilman Adams reported the work on East avenue as being nearly com- pleted, and also made the startling re- port that the work had been done for. about $50 less than the amount appro. priated. His report was accepted With a shower of congratulations that made him blush. The city attorney was instructed to publish the city ordinance relative to throwmg refuse, etc.. on the streets, in ' the NORWALK GAZETTE and Hour, twice. . . Councilman Wheeler said that he had been informed that the vote passed at the last city meeting appropriating money for the construction of a sewer on Butler street was illegal in that it had been done by viva voce instead of by ballot as the charter specifies. City attorney Lockwood 'on being questioned gave it as his opinion that the vote was not legal, and excused himself and the Mayor for not having noticed the fact at the time and insisted on a ballot being taken. It was then voted thata special meet- ing be called for Monday May 14th at 3 p. m., ‘for the purpose of appropriat- ing the sum of $3,500 or whatever sum the meeting might deem necessary for the construction of a sewer on Butler street. The meeting then adjourned to May 21st at 8 o’clock p. m. ——e—-———< . >————-—— _- Death of 3.

Gentlemen : -- Your Sarsaparilla has been of untold value to me. For twenty-six years I have suffered from acute rheumatism; have had rheumatic fever eight or ten times, and have hardly been free from rheumat- ic pains for many years until about sev~ en months ago. For‘ the last six or eight years I have sufl'ered terribly. I have spent hundreds of dollars for doc- tors and medicine, but could get no ben- efit. I tried all the remedies known, in- cluding two kinds of sarsaparillas, but contihually grew worse, until I was un— able to do even the lightest work. I could hardly move‘around. I was in this condition, and had been. so for over a year, when I began taking Allen’s Sarsaparilla. I have now taken six bot- ties, and have hardly felt a twinge of which time I have been doing a man’s work every day. I can now do as much hard work in a day as the majority of men, all of which is due to Allen’s Sal‘saparillu. ELLIS B. USHER. ANOTHER LIFE SAVED. ENoc S. SMALL, of Windham Centre, Me., writes :—For some time I have been very sick with kidney disease and was given up to die; in fact I did not expect to live much longer. I was all bloated up to nearly twice my usual size, and had a continued pain in my kidneys and liver. I tried doctor’s medicine in vain, tool; two bottles of a very well-known sarsapdrilla, without receiving any ben- efit, and at last began taking Allen’s Sarsaparilla. The first few doses made me feel worse, and I thought I should have to give it up, but I continued its use and had not taken half a bottle before I‘began to feel very much better. I con- tinued to improve and now I consider myself cured. I have no pain, the sore- ness and weakness are all gone, and I am gaining strength every day. I think Allen’s Sarsaparilla saved my life, and I am glad of an opportunity to speak in its praise and to recommend it to others. A BETTER MAN, C. Y. FfJLLER, Blacksmith, East Un ion, Me., writes :—For four years I have had kidney disease, which has“ been con- tinually growing worse, although I took medicine that claimed to be a sure cure. My trouble consisted of a severe pain in the lower part of my back and hips, a\‘ also a complete loss of appetite. I be- gan taking Allen’s Sarsaparilla, and=two bottles have cured me The pain left my back and hips land has not returned since. My appetite is complete, for the first time in years. Allen’s Sarsaparilla is decidedly the best medicine I ever used, and I will'recommend it to all. It sures. ' ' 4A Parish-Meeting. The annual meeting of Grace church parish was held Monday evening.

' Oliver J ackson. formerly. of this city, had an experience the other night that he will not soon forget. With his wife he is located 'in a boarding house at Chicago. On the night in question his wife was awakened by some noise and saw a Negro in the room with her hus- band’s trousers in his hands the pockets of which he was rifling. She screamed and awakened her husband whereupon the burglar made a dash out of' the room and doWn stairs with Mr. Jack.- son in close pursuit. The fellow man- aged to make his escape through a win- dow. Mr. Jackson returned to his room and on taking an inventory found his valuable gold watch missing. There were several other valuables in the room including diamonds. which would probably have been stolen had not Mrs. Jackson awoke, Mr. Jackson is en- gaged in the bicycle business at Chi- A Good idea.

Her Screams Frightened the Viilian Away. When the 10:23 train arrived at the depot in South Norwlilk Saturday night. Miss Anna McCann, a sister-in- law of Conductor _Jamengea.ting. alighted and started for .her home on Hamilton ' avenue. She went through Spring street on her way and as she reached'Hamilton avenue a man, who was standing behind a tree, stepped out and grossly insulted her. At the remark of the villism Miss McCann turned and started to run towards the house of Peter Shields in an effort to escape. The man started on a run after her and soon caught up with and grab- bed her, the‘iforce of his attack throw- ing her to the ground. He then placed his hand over her mouth, but she suc- ceeded in freeing herself and screamed at the top of her voice. Her cry for help was heard by several residents of Hamilton avenue who quickly respond- ed. but failed to capture the Viilian who had made a hasty retreat when Miss McCann first screamed. He was un- known to her but she thinks she could identify him if caught. _ . Miss McCann is employed in Bridge- port and takes the early morning train over every day, coming home in the} evening. The rascal is described to be a man of medium height, stout, and wears a black moustache. The matter was reported to the po- lice and they are at work on the case and hope to run him down before many hours. ' , Plucky Robins. Saturday afternoon an uproar was heard in one of Mrs. Weed’s apple trees on Isaacs street, the cause of «it being a neighbor’s cat which had crawled into a tree top and when first noticed was directly over a nest of young robins. The old birds were making such a furious onset upon pus- sy when they saw the danger of their “little ones” that pussy, with the prize so hear, was obliged to shield herself from their attack. At this Juncture one who was watching the battle he- thought himself of the garden hose, and in a trice a stream of water was turned on the intruder, who was forced to climb two or three feet higher- rr-And now comes the point of the story. by the flood of water, one of the old robins immediately settled down upon the nest, notwithstanding the enemy’s proximity, in order to shield her young from the drenching shower of water which like Blucher at Waterloo saved the day.
