The Younger Hanlon Appears
Before ludge Huhbell.
Of Course He Appeals From His Sentence.
The several times adjourned cases of
the State vs. Daniel J. Hanlon were
again resumed in the Town Court this
morning before Judge James T. Hub-
bell.
There was quite an array of witnesses.
but an unusually small attendance of
spectators.
There were four complaints, each one
embodying from two to four different
specific charges, assault, intoxication,
- breach of the peace and abusive lan-
‘guage,
Attorney Walsh appeared for the de-
fendant and entered a demurrer which
was overruled by the Judge. Hanlon
refused, of course, to plead.
Prosecuting Attorney Gregory pro-
ceeded with the case, and witnesses for
the state were examined.
J udfrc Hubbell found the accused
guilty on all of the counts as follows.
Assault on Joseph Barnes Sloland
costs, or $20. 85.
Assault on Harry Brown, drunken-
ness, breach of the peace and abusive
language, $43 and costs or a total of
$51. 85.
Assault on Augustin Sandy, breach
of the peace and intoxication, $27 and
costs, or $32. 85 in all.
Assault on Abram Farr, breach of
‘the peace, abusive language, and intox-
ication, a fine of $35, which, with costs,
amounted to $40. 35.
To this will be added about $10 as wit-
ness fees.
He took an appeal from the decision
and Patrick Hanlon became surety in
the sum of $600, or $150 on each count
tor the appearance of the accused
for trial before the Common Pleas court
next month.

ANDIENL HISTORY.
Rev. C. M. Selleck Delights a
,New Canaan Audience.
Received an Enthusiastic Reception.
The reception given Rev. C. M. Sel-'
leck, last evening, by the Historical
Society of New Canaan, at the Congre-
gational church, was a most cordial,
and even enthusiastic ovation.
Our Norwalk historian, read from
chapters of his forthcoming volumes of
Norwalk’s Ancient History, those por-
tions especially relating to the set-
tlement of New Canaan, which. in the
early period, was a portion of Norwalk,
and largely peopled from the shore
settlers.
At the conclusion of his intensely in-
teresting and instructive historical
and biographicalreading, an outburst
of enthusiast1c hand- clapping greeted
the honored speaker. Mr. Sell eck was
followed by Prof. Thompson, or Penn-
sylvania, of historical fame, in a short
witty and pleaslng address. The pastor
of the church, Rev. Mr. Hoyt presided
in his usual able and happy manner.
The church was decorated with a wealth
of floral contributions, and old glory
was spread over the chancel and a
choir of some twenty- five of New Ca'
man ’s fairest and most dulcet sons and
daughters sang patriotic airs, to the de-
light of the closely packed audience.’
When the Star Spangled Banner was
sung the whole great assembly broke
forth in immense volume on the chorus.
The same was also true of the conclud-
ing hymn, “My Ccuntry ’I‘is of Thee.”
At the end of the church service, the
guests were invited into the parlor in
the rear, where Mis. Albeit S. Com-
stock, assisted by a corps of sprightly
ladies, had provided a collation of
cakes, wafers, ices, etc. Here an hour
rapidly passed in social greetings when
all departed full of a sense of rare en-
joyment.
Among the guests from Norwalk were
Mrs. James L. Stevens and her guest,
Miss Bowen, and Mr. Charles A. Quin-
tard. People, aged and young, for
miles around, helped to pack the
church, and all seemed to feel abund-
antly repaid.
To- day the gallant old 17th Ct. Vols.
hold their reunion in the patriotic
town.
FOUND HIMSELF IN A em.
A Norwalk Visitor Loses His Head, Horse
and Wagon.
Early this morning, there might have
been seen on Wall street a man who did
not seem to know where he was at.
His head and shoulders were enveloped
in two feed bags and he was as nervous
as a man who had taken home ajag the
night before. He said that he awoke
this morning and found himself in a
potato-bin in the cellar of a house near
the reservoir. He had lost his horse,
wagon, a jug of apply-jack, his coat,
vest and hat.
He belongs in the suburbs and drove
to town yesterday afternoon to do some
trading, most of which he did at the sa-
loons.
For the sake of brevity and his fam-
ily we will call him John. He seemed
to care but little about the loss of his
clothing, but was greatly disturbed
over the disappearance of his horse and
wagon. -
He also wondered how it happened
that he managed to get into the cellar
so far away from where he last remem-
bered having seen his horse and wagon.
He remarked that he hoped that the
horse was bieng well cared for and that
he was going home to get some money
to reward and pay damages to the
party whomight have provided for the
animal.
Johns intentions may have been all
right, but his remark was not strictly
correct, for he went into a saloon with
a "friend" and before eight o’clock
had gotten up what was remarked by
an onlooker to be quite an “edge,” or
in other words he was but a few drinks
within being a subject for the police.
It is learned that the horse and wagon
was found and cared for by a man who
will turn it over to the owner at any
time he may call it.
A Successful Bake.
A monster bake was served at Greg-
ory’s Point, yesterday afternoon, by
Landlord O"Sullivan to the Lobster
club, which club to the number of 325
invaded L. that resort. Hundreds of
chickens, and. fish, and barrels of clams
and oysters, corn, potatoes, and all
that goes to make up a first-class bake
were sacrificed. The bake was laid up
by George Allen and was in every way
a decided success. And the Lobster.
club so, unanimously voted.
FRED FRITZ RETURNS.
Went to New York City and
Was Robbed.
Milkman Hawxhurst Takes Pity on Him.
Fred Fritz is home again. Fred was
in the employ of Milkman Hawxhurst,
and a few days since, he gathered to-
gether eighteen dollars of his empléy-
er ’3 money, and went to New York to
be “one of the boys.”
Fred met two nice young men who
volunteered to show him the “ins and
outs.” of the city. It was a warm day,
and Fred “set ’em up” several times
for his friends, with the result that he
was phased, and awoke the next morn-
ing on a nice little city grass'plot,
minus his coat, vest and money, and a
wish in his heart that he was back again
in good old Norwalk, feeding the milk
producers, or counting milk tickets.
Gathering himself together as be st
be could he started off with an aching
head for Norwalk. He attempted to
steal a ride on a freight train, but was
discovered and unceremoniously tum-
bled ofi' at Port Chester. He then
walked to Stamford satisfying his hun-
ger‘on the way with green apples and
cucumbers. He slept in a barn over
night, at Stamford, and the next day
reached South Norwalk in a sorry look-
ing plight.
After resting for a while he made a
break for the Hawxhurst farm, reach-
ing which he made a full confession to
his former employer, was forgiven, and
taken back to work.
He looked as if he had been dragged
through the streets all the way from
New York, the clothes left on him
being begrimed with dirt. He thinks
that he could recognize his two city
friends but is not at all inclined to go
to New York to hunt them up. Not this
year any way.
First Light Battery.
The twenty-eighth annual reunion of
the First Connecticut Light Battery was
held in New Haven yesterday. About
fifty survivexs were present when Presi-
dent Edward Griswold » of ‘Guilford
called the business meeting to order at
1:45. After some discussion it was vot-
ed that a committee consult with com-
mittees from the Sixth, Seventh and
Tenth regiments, Connecticut Volun-
It-eers, for the establishment of a union
monument at New Haven. An effort
will be made to .get the four guns used
by the battery and now at Fortress
Monroe, to be used at the monument.
A commission was instructed to secure
designs at once. The following are
the oflicers elected: -
Resident, Edward Griswold, Guil-
ford; secretary, Theron Upson, Hart-
rord; treasurer, John Sloane, New
Haven. It was voted to hold the next
reunion at New Haven, the date to be
chosen by the‘ executive committee.
After a dinner served by the Women’s
Relief corps the veterans took a trolley
ride to Ocean Beach.
$20,000 to The Boys’ Club.

Lockwood, admitted to probate at
Bridgeport yesterday, the sum of $20,-
000 is bequeathed conditionally, to the
building fund of the Boys’ club of that
city. The stipulatidns are that within
five years an additional $20,000 must
have been raised for the purpose and
that the amount shall not be collectable

and furnished at a cost of $40,000.
Base Ball.
The much talked of bass ball game
between the Stamford fire department
nine and the Pioneers of this city will
take place at Norwalk Park to-morrow
afternoon. The game is called for 3:30
o’clock. It is expected that it will be
closely contested and that some good.
ball playing will be seen. Lad1es will
be admitted free.

'~ The business meeting was followed by
one of Landlord O’Sullivan’s famous
clambakes. There was a call "to arms"
and the way the enemy—fish, fowl,
clams, melons, meals, crabs, lobsters,
etc.—disappeared, was a caution. The
landlord was, however, well prepared
for the invasion, and unless the vets re-
main at the Point the rest of the after-
noon there will be no occasion for or-
dering fresh supplies. '
Capt. lack Crawford Coming.
