The City Council End. Their Lahors
for the Year.

 

Mayor Keeler Compliments His
Associates.

 

An adjourned meeting of_ the city
council was held Monday evening. bills
aggregating $1,756.22 were ordered

aid. .
p The bill of health olfficfier J cryisxfigl;
10 was referred to t e nance co .
toggwith power, as was the bill of the
N. and S. N. Electric Light company
referred to chairman Wheeler of the
light committee. The bills of the health
board, were favorably reported on by
Councilman Boyer, and ordered paid.
Mr. Boyer, however, suggested. that
there ought to be it reorganization of
the [health bcard to the extent that
the duties of the board should not con-
flict with that of the health officer.

Tax collector A. A. Betts’ report was
presented and accepted. His report
showed that he had collected all but
$156.46 of the $33,582.63 placed in his
hands for collection. .

Chief of police Bradley reported
eight arrests for the month of Decem-
ber, and 607 transients given lodging.

The sums of $25 was voted to each of
he companies in the fire department.

Chairman Boyer of the finance com-
mittee was authorized to borrow $1,-
000 on the credit of the City, and the
sum of $200 was voted to the sewer de-
partment.

Councilman Osborn presented a res-
olution commendatory of the manner
in which the Mayor had premded at the
meeting of the council. during the past
year, which was happily seconded by
Councilman Wheeler and unanimously
adopted.
‘ Mayor Keeler then made a speech
which was as follows:

To the Council of the City of Norwalk,
for the year 1894 .-

GENTLEMEN: We have arrived at the
close of the first year .of our City Gov-
ernment, and I can, With great pleasure,
congratulate you and the people of the
City of Norwalk, on the very satisfac-
tory manner in which the different
Committees of the Council have man.
aged the affairs of the City, and con-
ducted its business. .

During the year the laws of our City
have been better observed than former-
1y, and complaints for the Violation of
any 0f Ilime City Ordinances have been
Speedily investigated and dealt With.

Many imprOvements have been made
in 0111‘ sidewalks and streets, and while
we have not accomplished all that we
could desire in this respect, still we are
moving forward in the right direction.
1 had hoped that this year would have
seen the completion of the Imprqye-
ments on East avenue, and the Widen-
ing of Wall street, and I trust the same
will come in the near future. .

I wish to make especial mention, and
to speak with pride and satisfaction . of
the very thorough and _busmess-like
attention that has been given to each
Department by the Chairmen . of the
various Committees; and the City can
be congratulated on the very effluent
and careful manner in which the varied
interests of the City have been looked
after by the Council; and I .think a
brief summary of our Receipts and
Expenditures since the commencement
of the fiscal year, may be of interest.

The amounts received have been as
follows:

From Sewer Licenses and Permits. . .. s 130.00

 

' Peddlers’ Licenses, etc., .......... 263.25

“ Court Fees ........................ 80947
Collector of Taxes ................ 3.2.13.00
Making a total of ....................... $33,417.72

The following amounts have been
paid out in the various Departments:

 

 

Admidistrative Department .......... $ 7,391.94
Finance Department .................. 5,114.15
Fire Department ....... .1’4‘. 1.59
Highway Department.. 2,906.11
Lights uepartment..... ............... h,0_84.§5
Police Department .................... 3.535341
Sewer Department .............. . ...... 1,223.53
Total Expenditures .................... 32.694038

In the Administrative Department, an
extra expense of about_$3000, had nec-
essarily to be incurred in the settlement
of the Gas Company’s case, and the
payment of Counsel Fees in the same;
and also in the drafting, printing and
binding of the City Charter and Ordi-
nances. And this month there has also
been paid from said Department,_ as an
extra expense, about $1,650 to satisfy
the Hall judgement.

In the Highway Department,_ there
was also an unexpected expense in the
straightening and widening of East
avenue, near the res1dence of Mr. W11—
liam H. Earle.

And I desire to say a word as to some
particular features which 1.111le are
deserving of commendation in the dif
ferent Departments: , .

In the Administrative and Finance
Departments, it will be remembered
that Chairman Boyer succeeded in re-
ducing the rate of interest on all the
City debt secured by note, to 4% per
cent... and this, together With the abil-
ity which he has shown as a financier
in other matters, has resulted in quite
a saving for the City. .

Under Chairman Chinery, the Fire
Department reorganized Hope Hose
Company, and it. has become a creditto
the City, and we have a Volunteer Fire
Department that cannot be excelled
an where.

East avenue at the residence of Wil-
liam H. Earle, was narrow, crooked
and dangerous for public travel, and
Chairman Adams, of the Highway Com-
mittee,at an expense of only $400 to the
City, had improvements made there
which might have cost it proceeded
with according to law, at least $2,000.

Our electric lights have sometimes
gone out, but that was not the fault of
Chairman Wheeler, and whenever the
lights did not burn properly, the Chair-
man has had the time deducted from
the bill. In the contract now made, he
has succeeded in getting the lights an
extra hour every night, at the same
price as before. . _

The efficiency of the present Police
Force, under the supervision of the,
Chairman of the Police Committee, is
recognized by every one; the number
of arrests made has been much smaller
thanin other years,and better orderhas
been preserved in our . streets, and
Chairman Osborn, of this Committee
is entitled to great credit for the suc-

cessful management of the Police De- '

)artment.
I In the Sewer Department, a new

sewer has been constructed in Butler

partment is shown by the fact that
under his management, the sewers have
been cleaned at an expense of about 80
cents each, while under other adminis.
trations the cost has been 31,25;

In conclusion, I wish at this time, to
personally thank each and every mem-
ber of the Council and our City Clerk
for the uniform kindness and courtesy,
that has been extended by them to the
Mayor during the year, and I am most
happy to say, that there has been noth-
ing during that time, but .the _-most
cordial and personal friendship exrsting
between them and myself, and I thank
you all for your constant attendance
during the year at all our meetings.

I wish you all a Happy New Year,
and hope that you may have the best
success in all your undertakings for the
welfare of our City.

EDWIN O. KEELEB, Mayor.
Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local appli as they cannot reach the
diseased portian of the car. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deaf-
ness is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or inperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafhess is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi-
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caesed [by ca:
trrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars;

Y. M. C. A.

The annual New Year reception at
the rooms of the Norwalk Y. M. C. A.
was a holiday function of more than
usual delight and interest. The Ladies’
Auxiliary had prepared for the friends
and members of the association not
only “a feast of reason and flow of
soul,” but a substantial collation for
the hungry. The music was exception.
ally fine and the afternoon “and even-
ing’s entertainment one long to be
remembered. This is an association
deserving all the aid and sympathy the
public can give it.

HAPPY CHILDREN.

The County Home the Scene of a
Monster Christmas Tree-

 

A Large Number of Visitors Present

A large number of friends and
patrons of our County Home, visited
that well equipped and admirably man-
aged institution‘, Wednesday afternoon.
The object was to help make and to be
made happy, by the beautiful and
blessed work of giving happiness and
joy to the lives of these little and
many of them, worse than orphaned
children. The occaswn was a monster
Chrtstmas Tree, laden with dolls,
books, toys and games, for the eager
and expectant tots. Prior to the pre-
sentation of these gifts and the specially
prov1ded supper, the ViSItors were
escorted through all of the various
apartments of the Home. Not the
least interesting of these was the large,
light, and well warmed and Ventilated
school room, where the army of bright
little faces testified to the excellent
management and training of

care,
their teacher, Miss Purcell and her
assistant Miss Dickerman of South

Norwalx. A visit was then paid to the
large play-room and the nursery.
Here were some fifteen little ones.
ranging from two to four or five years.
the school children were ushered into
the play-room where they entertained
their guests by rendering songs, recita-
tions, etc., appropriate to Christmas
times, in a most delightful manners
Many of the children showed them-
selves to be exceptionally bright in
mind and manner, and reflected decided
credit upon their instructors.

Now came the part of the elaborate
programme, most enjoyable to all. The
little one With quick elastic step and
bright, expectant faces, marched out
into the spacious supper room, where
every child Was seated before a well
filled plate of "goodies.” Before par-
taking of the appetizmg yiands, each
child with bowed head and reverently
folded hands, joined their Matron,
Miss Phelps, in saying“grace.” Deacon
Starr then offered a brief and impress1ve
prayer. At the conclusmn of the
bountiful repast, the gifts were dlS~
tributed to each child, from the Tree.
Here the good ladies who had worked
so tirelessly to make these little ones
happy, must have felt . themselves
abundantly repaid for all their efforts.
as they looked into the glad faces. and
heard the hilarious expressions of de-
light of these now, kindly cared for
little unfortunates. _ _ _ .

Among the many v1s1tnig ladies,
actively interested in the success of. the
happy occasion, were Mrs. .iicGonigal,
Mrs. \Vigham and daughter Edna, Mrs.
Noah Barnum and Miss Barnum, Mrs.
Matthew Starr, Mrs. Fannie L. Beers,
Mrs. William b. Byington, Miss Lewis,
Miss Sarah Adams, Mrs. A. H. Baldwin,
Miss S. A. Guilford, and the Misses
Dickerman, Mrs. and Miss Benedict of
South Norwalk.

Many donations were made .by our
own citizens for the happy occasion,Bev
Father Slocum and the Boston Store
being “at the head of the procesSion”
of home contributions. Mrs. Samuel
Glover, of F airfield, sent a box of
oranges and another of books and toys.
“A Stamford friend” sent a box of
fruits, toys and books. . . '1

Among the most touching incidents
of the visit was the constant running
up to Deacon Starr of scores of the
little ones for him to take them in his
arms and caress them. It plainly re-
vealed the fact that the good Deacon
was no stranger at the Home.

Especial credit is due, among others,
to Mrs. A. B. Hill, who supplemented
by the efficient efforts of Miss Dora G.
Phelps, the Matron, has given untiring
labor towards making this occasion
such a gratifying success. She takes a
very earnest interest in the Home.

\Vestport’s Horse Railroad.

The withdrawal of Ambrose S. Hurl-
butt, president of the Westport & Sang-
atuck Horse Railroad company from
the company, is explained in various
ways. Some ascribe it to the fact that
Horace Staples had succeeded in pur-
chasing a controlling interest in the
stock of the road and that he has ex-
pressed opposition to the scheme of
selling the concern to the Norwalk
company. It is further said that par
had been offered for the stock, but that
.Mr. Staples wants 125.—Westport Cor.

Palm’s Celery C ompozmd their
Best Relief.

In prescribing Paine’s celery com.
pound for a patient the other day a
Norwalk physician, who is a specialist
in nervous difficulties, declared that
there were thousands of such women
who were literally killing themselves
by too rapid movements.

“They are not satisfied", said he,
“with going aboutdoing things in a
quiet, ordinary way but rush through
with their work and ruin their health
as fast as they can. So firmly fixed is
this habit that they run up and down
stairs when there is no need for hurry.

“They not only rush but worry, and
between thesis to subject their nervous

systems to more wear and tear than

anything shrub of wrought. steel could
endure.”

Whatever the cause, our women, our
young girls and even business men are
rapidly growing more and more ner-
vous. Prof. Phelps the great Dart-
mouth scientist. saw this alarming state
of things and concentrated all his ener-
gy to remedying it. It was; from the
formula of this eminent student and
thinker that Paine’s celery compound
was prepared.

Its success in restoring nerve-strength
and building up the worn-out body re-
paid the years of study and investiga-
tion that Prof. Phelps conscientiously
devoted to the diseases of, the stomach
and the kidneys, the result of impure
blood and impoverished nerves. The
astonishing results that have come from
its careful use have been the subject of
discussion in all the prominent news-
papers and magazines in this country,
Canada and throughout Great Britain.

The record of this great blood clean-
ser, from the time of its discovery up
to the present day, has been a marvel-
ous one.

It has cured literally thousands of
cases of nervous debility, rheumatism,
kidney and heart troubles and has made
sound sleep possible to countless men
and women whose irritable and im-
poverished nerves were slowly draining
them of vitality.

A STOLEN UMBRELLA.

' When Henry Carroll arrived at his
ofli'ico on the seventh floor he was much
perturbed. He tugged viOIently at his
new mustache and grumbled audibly as
he marched up and down his room.

The gold letters on the door told the
passers by that the occupant of this par-
ticular room was Henry Carroll, attorney
and counsellor-at-law, and that he was a
notary public.

Carroll had not been a. lawyer long, for
it was only three months ago that, on
his twenty-fifth birthday, he had gradu<
ated from the law school with high hon-
ors. Almost immediately he engaged
the oflice room, hung out his shingle and
took his seat to wait for clients.

His trouble began when, one bright
morning, as he raised the window which
opened on the court, he saw a young
woman~ engaged in a. similar operation on
the other side of the court.

She stood by the open window just long
enough to allow him to s. e that she was
very pretty, and then she turned away.

He went to his home that evening and
told Dick Lyle, his roommate, that he
had seen the prettiest girl on earth, and
that life to him would be a. dull and
aching void until he knew more of the
yiizung women of the seventh floor oppo-
51 e.

Lyle listened to the story of his friend
with undisguised contempt, and when he
got through assured Carroll that he
kntlilw the young woman in question quite
we .

Her name Was O’Shaughnessey and
her mother was a washerwoman in
Brooklyn. . .

Henry rose up in his wrath at this
point, and called Lyle an idiot, and said
that he was undoubtedly mistaken.

It was his intention to camp upon her
trail on rainy days until he caught her
without an umbrella, and then he would
insist upon her-taking his, and the ac-
quaintance would be brought about “as
easily,” he had told Lyle, “as falling ofl
a log.”

This plan, however, failed because the
young woman did not do her share to-
ward it. She neglected to forget to bring
her umbrella, and so Mr. Carroll’s plan
came to naught.

“Do you know what is the matter with
me ?” asked Carroll of Lyle one day as he
came into the office.

“\Vere I an ordinary mortal,” said Lyle,
“I should answer no; but possessing the
detective instinct which I have mentioned
to you before, I should say that you were
sufiering from a. disappointment which
was caused by the thoughtfulness of a
young lady, who shall be nameless. My
boy. she brought her umbrella, and your
plot fell through. Am I not right?”

“You are,” answered Carroll, deject-
edly. “How did you know she had her
umbrella?” '

“Why, I saw her, of course. Here I get
out of bed at half past 7 and stand for
one hour in City Hall Park to see you es-
cort that girl from the Bridge to the
office, and instead of that she comes over
alone and with an umbrella. which would
make two of yours. I consider, sir, that
I have been buncoed, badly buncoed.

“Now, then,” he continued, “what is
your next move to be?”

“Oh! I don’t know what I shall do,”
replied Carroll in a discontented tone.
“I might jump out of the window and I
might go home and go to bed, but I don’t
care which it is.”

“If you are determined,” said Lyle,
with a grin, “to do either one of the des-
perate things you have named, I should
suggest the latter as the lesser of the two
evils, but if you'take my advice you’ll
stay right here and watch the girl go
home. There may be a. chance yet.
‘There’s a. divinity that shapes our ends,
rough hew them though we may,’ ” and
with this quotation Richard Lyle walked
out and slammed the door, leaving Henry
Carroll to his none too pleasant reflec—
tions.

At 5 o’clock Carroll stood at the Broad«
way entrance of the building and watched
the men and women as they hurried along
through the dismal rain. He was about
to give up his watch for Miss Moore,
when he saw her leave the elevator and
walk toward him.
keep from shouting when he saw that
she had no umbrella.

He was at her side in a- momont and
had offered his services as an escort, and
she, after a moment’s hesitation, had ac-
cepted, with many thanks, and the pair
started toward the Bridge. It happened,
very strangely, that Henry had been in-
tending to go over to Brooklyn for some
weeks, and he decided that to-night was
the very one for the trip.

They did not talk much, but Henry
was happy and did not care to talk. She
told him, however, that her umbrella.
had been stolen that day, and also that
she lived some blocks from the elevated
station. Henry knew that he could not
convince her that he was going in her
direction, and so he gave her his umbrella,
swore that he was only going one block
from the bridge, and after escorting her
to the train, left her and returned to New
York on the next train as happy as if he
had just been made a Justice of the
Supreme Court.

The next day they met again.

She called at his ofiie to return the um-
brella and to repeat her thanks, and
shortly after this Henry was a. frequent
visitor at Mrs. Moore’s house and he was
well liked by the widow and her other
daughter.

Henry had accumulated three clients

by the following May, but all of his cases ‘

were still undecided. He had money of
his own, however, and so this did not
bother him, and on one bright, spring
morning he made up his mind to propose
to Nellie that evening.

He made the proposal as they walked
across the Bridge, and she didn’t say any-
thing about its being so sudden ' and
about speaking to her mamma, but told
him “Yes” without a moment’s delay.

Henry, even in his happiness, cursed
the Bridge for being such a. crowded
place and thus preventing him from
doing the thing which always character-
izes the. successful termination of a. love
suit. The marriage occurred in June.

Henry and his best man, Dick Lyle, sat
in the ante-room waiting for the organist
to give them their cue to enter, and the
groom said:

“Dick, old man, you were right on that
rainy November day when you quoted,
‘There is a. divinity that shapes our
ends.’ ”

Dick did not anSWer, but after the cere-
mony, when the happy pair had said
goodby and driven awayto the Grand
Central, he stood in the doorway and
muttered.

“Well, this is the first time that I’ve
been called a. divinity. I stole her um-
brella that he might meet her. I damaged
my immortal soul. He got a bride by the
theft and the umbrella. is my reward.
I’ve still got that and I’ll hang on to it.’
