Citv Meeting.
About fifty of the legal voters of this
city assembled in the Town House,
Monday afternoon for the followmg
r oses :
911The meeting room was in a filthy con-
dition and was a disgrace to _ the town.
The floor was covered w1th tobacco
quids, cigar stumps, torn paper, etc. etc.
and the benches were heavrly uphol.
stered with dust, and this condition, all
because one of the selectmen objected
to the expenditure of twenty-five cents
to have it cleaned out.
The meeting was called to order by
Mayor Keeler. and the call was read
by City Clerk Lockwood.
Chief Prowitt was the first speaker.
He said that when he called the atten-
tion of the board of councilmen to the
condition of the steamer, he wanted to
emphasize his opinion that it would be
wisest to purchase a new engme rather
than have the old one repaired, but that
as the times were hard and money
scarce, he had some misgivmgs about
getting one and so gave way to the
lesser expenditure of haying the old
steamer repaired. Since that time he
had got his courage up to where it
ought to have been at the meeting of
the Council, and was of the decidedbe-
lief that it would be more economical
to h..ve a new steamer. He called at-
tention to the need of a steamer at the
recent fire at Prof. Harstom’s school,
and the uselessness 'of the attempt to
. get water on the fire in any other way.
This was a condition of things in respect
to all property on the hills about the
city. He rather surprised some. of
those present with the statement that
the water pipe on the hill was nearly
half filled with dirt, and; 1nc1dentally
mentioned the weakness of water pipes ,
in different parts of the city. He stated
that a new steamer could be purchased
for $3,600 $3,800 or $4,000, according to
the grade, and $600 would be allowed
for the old steamer. He remarked that
there was a number of firemen-present
but that they did not come to press an
issue of the matter. They had the
interest of the city at heart and would
vote to that end. They knew the needs
of the department. He regretted that
the call for the meeting permitted of .
no action other than a vote for or
against the repair of the steamer.
Isaac Selleck asked if 2,000 or 3,000
feet of hose ought not to be purchased.
He said he thought a great deal of. the
firemen, but these were hard times and
it was best to go slow. He was 1s favor
of giving the firemen the necessary ap-
paratus to battle with fire.
A. H. Byington then took the floor.
He called attention to the fact that
South Norwalk was throwing out _all
their old fire apparatus and purchasing
new and improved ones. _ After a fifty
years experience with printing machin-
ery he had found that it was money
poorly invested to repair the same.
This was also true of an old wagon, etc.
etc. Times were hard, and taxes were
'heavy, but property was at the_mercy
of scoundrels who would not hes1tate to
set fire wit. The firemen worked hard
at all times, in hot or cold weather,

storm or sunshine, and at all hours
destruction by fire, and this too w1_th-
out one cent «of renumeration, asking
and receiving nothing but the gratitude
of the public. They were not only de-
serving of all praise but also of all the
apparatus necessary for them to combat
with the fire fiend. We might not nee
the steamer once in ten years, but when
we did need it we wanted it very much.
He said he was emphatically in favor of
purchasing a new steamer rather than
having the old one repaired. As the
call for the meeting had been so con-
.structed that it would not permit of
action being taken on the purchase of
a new steamer, he moved that another
meeting be called for the purpose of
taking action on the purchase of a new
steamer, or having the old one repaired
and appropriating the sum necessary
for carying into efi'ect such vote. This
motion prevailed.
Mayor Keeler in order to set the
Council right in the matter of the pre-
vious call, said that at the time the fire
committee had been asked to make a
recommendatiOn for the purchase of a
new steamer or the repair of the old
one, but that the committee had de-
cided to recommend only the latter.
The meeting then adjourned.
Mayor Keeler has decided to call the
meeting for next Monday afternoon.

Barn Burned.
The large barn at Coleytown owned
by Morris Ketchum was burned to the
ground at 11 o’clock Sunday night.
The barn was leased by William
Sherwood, and at the time of the fire
contained fifty tons of hay. which was
consumed together With three mowing
machines, a binder, a reaper, an ex
cart and other farming utensils.
The fire was undoubtedly the work
of an incendiary as no one had been
to the barn during the day and no fire
of any kind had been iin the building.
Mr. Sher’wood’s loss is complete as he
but the barn was

Tedious suffering Finds Relief.
Havnnmnn, N. H.-—’Many physicians
have pronounced as incurable, diseases
of the skin and blood. Mrs. Hodsdon
of t is place abandoned the old school
met 0d and used Dr. Kennedy’s Fav-
orite Remedy and was curedJ.
In October, 1890, and for a year after
Mrs. Hodsdon suffered from a diseased
ankle bone.- Shd had always been
troubled with Salt Rheum which aggra-
vated the diseased limb. Precriptions
and medicines of all sorts were used,
but with no benefit. Dr. Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy was tried, and it
drove the poison out of her blood,
healed the ulcerous sores, and restored
Mrs. Hodsdon to perfect health and
strength. ,
Favorite Remedy cleanses the blood,
and strengthens the nerves. In cases
of scrofula and salt rheum, it cures
where all else fails. ‘
The Sordiers’ Home.
Governor Morris, Adjutant General
Bradley, Surgeon General Cassidy,
Judge Beers of Bridgeport, General
Dickinson of Hartford and W. E. Mor-
gan of New Haven, comprising the
hospital board in control of the Soldiers’
Home at Noroton, held their quarterly
meeting at the Home Saturday: The
visiting committee of the G. A. R. and
of the relief corps were also present, it
being the date of their annual visit to
the institution.
The matter of providing more room
for the veterans who are asking admis-
sion to the institution was discussed
and it was decided to give the executive
board power to act-
Plans and estimates will be made and
the legislature will be asked to appro-
-_priate money for the erection of new
buildings.
It is probable that the legislature will
be asked at the next session to so amend
the charter of the home as to allow the
, hospital board to make provisions for
the wives of the old soldiers who have
had to become the beneficiaries of the
institution. This plan has many strong
advocates. '
There are thirty-nine applicants for
beds in the, Home at the present time
and the hospital bedshave been drafted
into use, except one or two which must
be kept for emergency.
The home was found by the visitors
to be in excellent condition and the in-
mates are all comfortable.
A.-
Town Meeting”.
An adjourned town meeting was held
at the Town House, Saturday after-
noon, some fifty-five voters haying as-
sembled in front of that. “beautiful
edifice.” The meeting “MS called to
order by R. H. Rowan, as chairman,
and Town Clerk Herbs: *- R Smith read
the call. A resolution instructing the
selectman to build a suitable stone
bridge, at the foot of Day street, at a
cost not in excess of $1,200 was unani-
mously passed and the meeting ad-
journed, Through some misunder-
standing the janitor had failed to open
the Town House and the meeting was
held outside of the building, those
present reverently standing with bared
heads while the busrness was being
transacted. Previous "to the opening
of the meeting itwas found necessary
to “drum np”a few voters in order to
get the necessary fifty to legalize the
passage of the resolution. The South
Norwalk voters went home in a happy
frame of mind.

We frequently hear people say that a

Iowever that may be with other prepara-

Sarsaparilla, every bottle, has a guarantee
label near the bottom. If no benefit is
derived by the time it is taker: down to this
label, it can be returned to us, according
to directions on the label and we will re-
fund the full price; provided it is taken
regularly and according to directions, and
for the diseases for which we recommend
it, and provided it is not purchased at a.
discount from the retail price. No reme-
dy without wonderful properties, and sold
at so low a. price, could be guaranteed un-

our experience and by the strong testimo-
nials that are constantly pouring in, that
we are perfectly safe in guaranteeing Al-

and was at last induced to try Allen’s. ' I
took two bottles and am today o. well man.
I am now able to do a. hard day’s work
in the pulp mill every day, and have no
reigns ofa return of my old trouble, nor
doI expect to. I would advise anybody

For Shooting Robins.
A Staten Island sportsman was fined
$40 yesterday, for shooting eight rob-

and others received fines varying from
$20 to $95, the total fines amounting to
$650. It the fines are not paid the

tection of game in this state, and the
Naromakc club of this town proposes
to enforce the law.
