o’clock this morning.
THE nun INEW‘YEAR.
' b The first day of January 1896. so far
as Norwalk was concerned, was ob-
served in a quiet manner. Nearly all
of the manufactories were closed, as
were all of the dry goods stores. Other
stores were kept open but half a day;
and in the afternoon the streets were
as deserted as on a Sunday. ,
The day was chilly but bv no means
unpleasant. although uterintervals, the
sun was obscured by clouds that seemed
to be freighied with snow, none of
which, however, was unloaded at this
station. ' -
The usual number of drunks were
conspicuous by reason of their absence.
Neither was there any fighting or brawls
of any kind. Everybody seemed to
feel good natured towards themselves
and everybody else. ' .
All of which is creditable to our town
Below will be found the happenings
of the day so far as gleaned by our re-
porters.
rnmmx Eurnnrams.
Phoenix Engine company en‘ermined
its members, their wives and children,
at their headquarters. yesterday ‘ after-
noon. The apparatus room was ele-
gantly embellished with festoons of
Christmas greens, wreaths, flags, eic.
“A Happy New fear—1896," greeted
the eye on entering the door and the
entire appearance of the room was one
of beauty. A table was laid the entire
length of the room, upon which were
covers for seventy-five guests. The
table was prettily ornamented with
flowers and happy conceéts in rich
golden butter, not the leastol which
was a miniature steam fire engine which
ested in frontwof Chief Prowitt’s platen
at the head of the table. Seventy-five
guests not down to the “first” table,
followed by sixty at the “second.”
Thirty-four children were also provided
for at the tables. One hundred pounds
of turkey, two or three dozen chickens,
meats of all kinds, salads, etc, etc.,
were provided in abundance. After the
dinner the guests were happily enter-
tained in theparior of the company
until 8 o’clock. At 8:30 an adjourn-
ment was taken to the Atheneeum
where dancing was enjoyed until 2
The Phoenix
boys added another rung 1n the ladder
of fame which they have constructed as
the "boss entertainers.”
FAST TROTI‘ING.
Yesterday E. J. Wadhams and Wil-
liam E. Dian got into an argument as
to which owned the fastest horse.
Wadhams finally offered to wager a
quarter of beef against a horse blanket
of equal value, that his was the faster
trotter. The wager was accepted, the
race to be one-half mile heats, each to
drive his own horse. Accompanied by
a number of friends they drove to East
avenue, where Mr. Dunn succeeded {in
winning three straight heats and the
beef.
This race was followed by one be-
tween B. McGovern’s and H. E. Wood-
hull’s horses, in which both claimed
the race, and their claims were not
disputed. An unbiased opinion, how-
ever, awards the race to Mr. Woodhull.
HOPE HOSE.
The members of Hope Hose company
kept “open house” yesterday, and wel-
Comed visitors, who were treated to re-
freshmenlsland made to feel altogather
at home. There was singing, dancing,
etc., and the guests were delighted with
the manner in which they were enter-
tained. The Hope Hose boys are not
amateurs in the art of entertaining, no
more than they are in fighting fire.
“They get there every time” truly says
a friend of the company.
“SIMPLE Bur SEVERE. ”
All of the newly elected city officials
with the exception of Water Commis-
sioner Frederick Mead assembled at
the Norwalk Club rooms at high noon
yesterday for the purpose of taking
their oaths of ofiices. The services
were “simple but severe.” Retiring
Mayor Hubbell made a pretty speech
in which he wished the new officials a
happy and prosperous new year, and
complimented the old your officials on
their good work during the past year.
~He then administered the oath of office
to Mayor Wheeler, the six councilman
in a bunch, and also to the other ofii-
cials. Cigars were passed around and
the “seance” was at an end.
AT THE COUNTY HOME.
Many visitors atténded the reception
and festival which was given at the
County Home on Tuesday, at three
o’clock. They were received by Miss
Phelps, the matron, and by Mrs. A. B
Hill. Soon the children of the home
gathered about a table Aloaded with
good things, and bowed their heads,
while Mr. Pond, who was present, ask-
ed the blessing. Two large trees were
loaded with everything pretty; the chil~
dren were sent sixty-two boxes of candy,
and a bushel basket of pop-corn. Miss
Phelps said that, judging from last
year’s experience, the amount of candy
on hand will last until April. ‘
THE GUN CLUB.
The Naromake Gun club celebrated
the day by holding a shoot at their
range at Gregory’s Point. The sh00t-
ing was for sweepstakes and some ex-‘
cellent shots were made. There was a
high wind and the ahnosphere was
decidedly chilly. Lots of sport was
had nevertheless. ,

REUBEN flu UP.”
A bold highway robbery was commit-
ted at Wilton a few minutes before 8
o’clock last evening. The victim was
Reuben M. Olmstead, the station agent
at that place, and 'also agent of the
Adams Express company. The robbers
secured about $250 and Reuben‘s gold
watch. '
Immediately . after the 7:35 south-
bound train left Wilton, Station Agent
Olmstead locked up the station and
prepared to go home for the night.
There is no safe at the station'and Olm-
stead has been in the habit of taking
home the dav’s receipts, and the Adams
Last night as usual Olmstead rolled up
the railroad company’s money together
with that of the express company into
large roll containing about $250, the
greater part of which was the express
company’s money.
Olmstead had covered about half the
distance from the station to his home
and had reachedalonely spot in the
road, when he was approached by two
ruen, one of whom knocked him down,
The fall stunned Olmstead and in his
semi-conscious condition he was unable
to defend himself. The robbers speed-
ily went through his pockets, taking
everything of value. They left Olin-
stead lying in the road and speedily
vauishedin the direction 01 the rail-
road track. _.
When Olmstead regained his senses
he gave the alarm and at once tele~
graphed to Supt. Payne of the Danbuiy
division. Supt. Payne received the
notice at about 10 o’clock and immedi-
ately telephoned to the police at this
city and South Nor-walk. He could give
butameugre description of the rob-
bers. Olmstead havrng had only time
to notice that the men were of stout
build, about five feet, eight inches in
height, and Wore moustaches. 'At the
time of the robbery the moon had” not
risen and Olmsiead could not observe
the men very cldsely.
At 1:30 o’clock this morning the con-
ductor of the west bound Washington
express reported that two men who
answered the description of the two
robbers, had boarded his train at South
Norwalk and were acting nervously.
A telephone message was sent to
Stamford to have the men held but the
train had left that city before the "mes-
sage arrived and another was sent to
the Twentyelourth precinct station,
which is near the Harlem River station,
asking that the men be arrested.

Surprised His Guests.
A New Year’s Eve party was held at
the home of William Thompson in South

present and all had a merry time. It
remained, however, for Mr. Thompson
to “spring” the surprise of the evening

HAO unease -
For some time past. it has been
rumored that Mrs. Margaret Kelly was
disposing 'ot intoxicants at her home in
Noroton, contrary to the statutes made"
and provided and of evil example, etc.
So notorious had the statements he-
come it was decided to raid the place.
Early last :evening 'Const'able Hunt
and Officer Valiant of this city drove
to Darien where they met .Constable
Weed. and then repaired to the home
of Justice Wilmott where they secured
a search warrant and also a warrant for
the arrest of Mugaret‘ Kelly, alleging
the illicit sale of intoxicants.
Armed with these necessary papers
they drove to the house occupied by
Mrs. Kelly, 9. small building on a side
street just 0% from the turnpike at
Noroton, so called.
A well- beaten pathway leads up to the
house which the officers followed, and
rapping at the door secured entrance
and made known the nature of their
errand. Mrs. Kelly was placed under
arrow. Some five or six men were
found in the house and there was evi-
dence that they had been drinking.
A search brought to light a barrel of
beer, threealemijohns of whiskey, two
demijohns of cider. a keg of wme and
a quantity of intdxicants in bottles.
Two of the demijohns were found be-
tween two bedticks on a bedstead in
one of the sleeping rooms, as if a vain
attempt had been made to hide them
after the arrival of the ofiicers. I
Mrs. Kelly has no license for the sale
of intoxicants, and it is reported has
been arrested before, and as having an
unenviable reputation.
Mrs. Kelly was released on bonds of
$200 furnished by P. Hanrahan, of
Stamford.

Health for the six Yankee states. It
is a phamphlet full of condensed infor-
mation of general interest.
The Marriage rate per 1,000 popula-
tion throughout New England during
the year under review was 9.27. The
nuptial rate for Connecticut, 8.52 is
the lowest which obtained in any Yan-
kee state. Maine and Vermont did
only just a trifle better, but New
Hampshire. with. a matrimonial rate of
10.04 heads the list.
The average number of divorces to '
each 100 marriage during the year was
5.8 for New England. For Con necticut
the number was 7.6, but Maine with
9.6, New Hampshire with 8.6 and Rhode
Island with 8.4 left Thomas Hooker’s 5
commonwealth gloriously in the lurch. j
Massachusetts, with a record of 3.6,
