11. A. RELEL‘GOMED.
The'members of the Freeloye Bald-
win Stow Chapter, D. A. R.. of Mil-
ford, entertained 200 sister Daughters
of Connecticut, ‘Saturday afternoon.
Carriages met the guestson arrival of
trains "from the north and south and
drives were taken about the town be-
fore going to the church for the exer-
cise.. Many of the members of the
Chapter as well. as the generous regent,
Mrs". -Mary Hepburn Smith, placed
their private equipages at the' disposal"
of the visitors. Frbm every public
building and from the majority of the
houses and'stores, floatedflags and pat-
riotic bunting, proving that the interest A
in the celebration was by no means
wholly confined to the daughters at the
church.
On either side of the chancel were
the numerals 1796- 1896. Over the organ
was the Word “Welcome” in letter of
. green on a white blackboard, while de-
. pended from it, in yellow, blue and
white immortals were the letters D. A
R. Yellow, blue and white bunting were
draped above, while in the center of the
space below, in themidst of a bank of
golden rod, wasa marble bust of the
immortal George, draped in the nation-
31 colors The platform where sat the
speakers of the day was handsomely
decorated and set with antique furni-
ture. - About the sides of the church,
the‘drapings of the blue and white con-
tinued, caught here and there by a flag
anda picture of George” and Martha
Washington and by Lincoln, the pat-
riot of the latter war. The room be-
yond the body of the church where the
reception was held, .was filled with rare
relics artistically arranged, and pro-
fusely decorated With flags and bunt-
ing and flowers. Among the relics
were a sofa belonging to Elbridge
Gerry,'and a carved chair made by one
David Miles who lay dead in Milford at
the same time Washington lay dead at
Mt. Vernon.
Aconspicuous bit of decoration in
this room was a cleverly wrought badge
of the society, fashioned by one of the
Milford chapter, the spinning wheel
being of Golden rod and the distaff of
life. everlasting. It was placed over
the door leading to an ante room where
Bradley, of/New Haven, served a deli-
cate lunch. The Sons of the American
Revolution and ,of the Colonial Wars,
as well as the G. A. R. and the Woman’s
Relief corps of Milford, were specially
bidden guests, and the Milford popu-
lace was admitted to the galaries.
The ,brief exercises of the day were
Opened by an organ prelude by Mrs.
Smith. Prayer by the state chaplain
of the society, Mrs. Henry T. Bulkley,
of ' Southport. Mrs. Mary Hepburn
Smith, the regent, made a delightful
address of welcome, to- which Mrs. Sara
T. Kinney, the state regent responded.
Mrs. Henry H. Morse, of Milford, read
an admirable tribute to Washington,
the man and‘ the statesman, and his
famous address, in honor of which the
affair was given, ‘was well read by Mrs.
George W. Tibbals, the vice regent,
who prefaced the reading by a few well-
chosen words. Intersper'sed with the
addresses were delightful musical selec-
tions by the quartet, who were com-
pelled to respond to a hearty encore.
The exercises closed with the singing
of “America” by the audience. Dur~
ing the hours of the afternoon a beauti-
ful charter of the chapter framed in
the wood taken from the old Free10ve
Baldwin Stow house, was presented the
chapter by the regent, the Rev. Dr.
Anderson of Waterpur‘y making the
presentation speeuh. Mrs. Noble, of
Norwalk, also spoke, and the B.
quartet sang.
OBITUARY.
JUSTUS FII‘L‘ii HOTT.
Justus Fitch Hoyt died at his home
in Winnipauk onfiunday morning aged
about 71 years. The deceased was a
native of New Canaan and resided there
until about fifteen years ago. In 1875
Mr. Hoyt represented the town of New

The Famous lluartette Broken.
Amelia, one of the little Stickies

hospital, died Sunday night. Two
other children, the little boy and the
girl, are in a delicate condition, and
despite the extraordinary care which is
being taken of them, may not survive.
The arrangements for the funeral of
the dead one will be made today by
the ladies having charge of the little

11011111151 TRAIN.
Tuesday morning at ten minutes past
twelve o’clock, Ira E. Petty, employed
at the South Norwalk depot, saw a man
coming up the track carrying two large
bundles on his back. Petty stopped
the man and asked him where he was
going. The man made no reply and
continuedvup the track.
Mr. Petty became suspicious and
started for the Adams Express allies, to
telephone the police. On the way he
found a bundle containing six plush
cloaks lying upon the west bound
tracks. He carried them to the station
and telephoned the police;
In the meantime two men carrying
similar bundles entered the west bound
station and purchased two tickets for
Harlem River. They also inquired of
agent Baker the time the Washington
express was due.
While the men stood in the depot
door waiting for the train, Officers Pen-
nington and Ireland made their ap-
pearance in response to the telephone
message, and placed both under arrest.
One of them disclaimed the ownership
of the packages but the other admitted
that one of them was his. They told
several conflicting stories and were
taken to the station house and locked up
In the morning when the prisoners
appeared before Judge Frost, one gave
his name as Charles Schultz and the
other Louis Ausenburg. They were
held on the charge of vagrancy to which
both pleaded not guilty.
When examined by Judge Frost, both
men said that they had come from
Bridgeport and were on their way to
New York. While near the South Nor-
walk depot they had met three men
carrying bundles who had dropped
them and ran at their approach. They
picked 11p the bundles and found that
they contained about 18 plush cloaks.
One had suggested to the other that
they take them to New York and sell
them, and were on their way when
arrested.
Both men denied that they had ever
met before or knew each other. Schultz
said he arrived in town from Bridge-
port at 11 o’clock last night. He had
been in Bridgeport six days looking for
work as a molder. Had worked in
New York but could not give his em-
ployer’s name. He said his home was
in Philadelphia.
When Ausenburg was questioned by
Judge Frost, he said he lived in New
York and was on his was there from
Hartford when arrested. He had de-
nied ownership of the bundle because
he was scared.
After hearing the confiicting’state-
ments of both men, Judge Frost con-
tinued their cases until 9 o’clock Wed
nesday morning, to learn more facts.
Just before the adjournment a tele-
phone message was re ceived from Chief
Vollmer at Bridgeport to hold the men
for the Adams Express company.
Superintendent Curtis, of Bridgeport,
soon put in an appearance and stated
that a sealed Adams Express car on the
train leaving New York at.11 o’clock
had been broken into and the cloaks
stolen. The loss was not discovered
until 5 o’clock Wednesday morning
when the train reach Boston.
It is the general impression that the
two men entered the car near Harlem
River, as one of the windows was found
broken when the train reached Boston
this morning. After gaining an en-
trance, they broke open the boxes or
packages containing the cloaks and
placing them in three bundles threw
them off the car between South Nor-
walk and Rowayton. When the train
slowed up for the South Norwalk station
the thievesjumped off and went back
and secured the cloaks, and were at-
tempting to return to New York with
their booty when arrested.
Who May Be Made A Voter.
Any male citizen of the United States
twenty-one years of age. who has resid-
ed in this State one year and in the
town six months preceding Nov. 3, 1896,
and can read, is entitled to be made an
elector of that town, provided his name
is registered under the list “Eb be made."
No name can be added to the list “to
be made” after Thursday, Oct. 15, at 5
p. m. The registrars deposit the first
list of electors and the list “to be made”
in the town clerk’s oflice Oct. 16. The
time for revising and cor ing the
first list of electors, by the registrars
closes Oct. 24. The registrars deposit
their revised and corrected list of
electors in the town clerk’s office, Oct.

and from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. in all others.
This meeting may be adjourned from
time to time until Monday, Oct. 26,

m. to 8 p. m: They also hold a meeting
on Monday. Nov. 2, from 9 a. m. to 5 p.

Shoulder Dislocated.
,As Edgar Buttery of Broad River
was driving to this city Tuesday after:
noon, his horse became frightened at a
passing team and ran. Mr. Buttery
was unable to control the animal and
was thrown out: He sustained a dislo-
cation to his shoulder. .The runaway
horse was stopped before further damage
had been done.
It is currently rumored that Briga-
dier General George Haven, of New
London, commanding the brigade Con-
necticut National Guard, will be ap-
pointed adjutant general if Lieutenant
Governor Lorrin A. Cooke is elected
Governor, which it is assumed will be
the case.
This would be following the Massa-
chusetts rule of promotion to the Gov-
ernor ’s staff from the brigade itself, a
rule which, if carefully observed,
would silence much of that criticism
which is heard to-day when civilians are
made generals and colonels merely be-
cause of some political pull.
The appointment of the General to be
chief of the Governor’s military family
will make a vacancy at Brigade Head-
quarters. It has become almost a rule
that the senior colonel in the brigade
be made brigadier general, but, as in
the army, there can be exceptions. In
order of seniority to- day, the colonels
are Russell Frost, of the Fourth, South
N orwalk Charles L. Burdett. of the
First, Hartford, Augustus 0 Tyler, of
the Third, New London, and Lucien F.
Burbee. of the Second, Waterbury.
Colonel Frost is Colonel Burdett’s
senior by only ten days. He has proved
a tireless worker, and has raised the
standard of- the regiment to what it was
before the famous polo fight,a few years
ago. His friends will urge many rea-
sons why he should be made brigadier
general.
If Colonel Frost gets the office Major
James Sheridan of Bridgeport, will
without doubt become regimental com-
mander of the Fourth, and Major 0.
W. Hendria of Stamford, senior Major
in place of Sheridan.

The Commodore’s Big Catch.
Commodore Francis Burritt as is
.well known, is a worthy disciple, of
Isaak Walton, and the writer is not so
sure that were Isaak alive to-day he
would not resign in favor of the Com-
modore, who Monday sailed off Strat-
ford and succeeded in landing,onc of
the ”finest specimens of striped bass
ever hooked by a Norwalk man who
“fished for the fun of fishing.” The
fish was over three feet in length and
weighed 21 pounds. Naturally, he felt
proud of it and the “monster” was
placed on exhibition atJ. Henry Hoyt’s
cafe on Water street, where it attracted
much attention and was pronounced
by Munson Hoyt to be a “beauty.”
And indeed it was.
A Fruitful House.
A few days ago the important item
was ‘exelusively’ reported by the GA-
lETTE, that Mrs. Joel G. Reed, a daugh-
ter of James Maginn of No. 5 Union
Place, had given birth to twins. Last
Monday, in the same house, Mr. Ed-
ward F. Maginn, a brother of the above
happy mother, became the exultant
father of another pair of twins, one the
sweetest of little girls, and the other a
bouncing boy.
So infant twins to-day,
bless both stories of the elder Maginn’s
fruitful'residence on Union Place.
New scoifers let your scoffing cease,

And for McKinley’s triumph high,
The {cherubs four, will loudly cry.

BROKEjllE NECK?
Last Sunday afternoon Harry Mead,
aged 11 years, son of Henry H. Mead
of New Canaan, a fireman on the Con-
solidated railroad’s Stamford branch,
was out in the woods with Freddie Bird,
about the same age, setting “figure-
four” traps.
On returning home they were over-
taken by a team driven by Herbert
Whitney. When the wagon passed the
boys ran and climbed into the wagon
sitting with their feet over the tail-
board.
Suddenly the horse becamc frightened
at an object in the road and gave a
spring, throwing young Mead out be-
tween the wheels breaking his neck.
The wheels also passed over him break-
ing several ribs.
Whitney stopped the horse as quickly
as possible and went to young Mead,
but the latter was dead. His body who
picked up and placed in tie wagon and
driven home. I
Young Bird was also thrown out but
escaped with a had cut over one of his
eyes. ’
A 3110113111111.
Last Monday there appeared in these
columns an account of a fatal accident
in New Canaan, the day before to
Harry, the 11-year old son of Henry H.
Mead, a fireman on the Stamford
branch of the Consolidated railroad.
As was stated he climbed with a com-
panion into the rear end of a wagon, -
for What the boys call a “free ride.”
The horse became frightened and Mead
was thrown out and sustained injuries
that proved fatal.
In the same town, Tuesday, there
occurred a like accidentwhich was also
fatal in in its results, and the victim
was another lad about ten years of age,
and well acquainted with the Mead boy
and the circumstances in connection
with his terrible death.
The last victim was Eddie, the bright
little son of Morris Lahc'y, an engineer
on the Stamford branch 'of the Consol-
idated railroad. He‘, in company with
some other boys of the same age, ran
and tried to catch a ride on a passing
wagon. In attempting to get in at the
rear end of the wagon, his little coat
became caught in the tail. board in such
a way that he was thrown around and
one of his feet caught between the
spokes of the wheel, and he was thrown
to the ground and dragged quite a dis-
tance before the driver could stop his.
team
’ It iva‘s found that the little fellow had
sustained serious injuries, and he was
tenderly picked up and taken to his
home, and a physician summoned who
found that the poor boy’s leg was frac-
tured in two or three places and as after
results proved, sustained internal 1n-
juries.
The accident happened between 4 and
5 o ’.clock Everything possible was
doneto alleviate the suffering of the
unfortunate little fellow and if possible
to save his life, but Without avail as he
died about 10:30 o’clock at night.
The lad was a nephew of Mr. John
Hogan of this city, and was one of a
family of seven children.
Strangely enough the fathers of both
children were employed on the same
line of railroad, their ages did net ma-
terially differ, and both met their fate
in a similar manner.
Surely this ought to be a double
warning to the boys who in this city
are in the habit of chasing wagons for a
short ride and at the risk of their lives.

BURGLARS AT WORK
Some time during the midnight hours
Monday night, thieves broke the glass'in
the side window of Chauncey E. Brun-
dage’ s shes shop on the Washington
street bridge and pulling down the up-
per sash gained an entrance to the in-
terior.
After obtaining an entrance they
packed up four or five pairs of- shoes
that had been repaired and shunt 500
shoe These and made their escape.
After leaving the Brund‘age store
they visited the hat s ore of E. C.
Johnson, a few doors above and effected
an entrance in the same manner.
Here the visitors helped themselves
to fourteen new stifi‘ hats, five new soft
hats at box of caps and a motor-man’s
badge and then left for parts unknown
The burglary was reported to Chief
V'olluier, and as a number of the shoe
laces stolen from Mr. Br'undage- were
found near Greecehner’ s 011 the Fort
Point road, the Chief concluded the
theives had made tracks for Bridgeport.
He accordingly took the early train for
that city and is now engaged on the
case.
An attempt was also made to enter
the residence of Mr. Samuel W. Hoyt
on Boton Hill, but beyond obtaining
an entrance into the cellar and eating
up'the morning’s breakfast nothing-
more was obtained.
ARE UNDER HEAVY BONDS.
judge Frost Holds the Express Car Bob-
bers for the SuperiOr Court.
The two men, Charles Schultz and
Louis Ausenburg, held by the South
NorWalk police, charged with vagrancy
but suspected of burglariziug an Adams
Express car, were brought up before
Judge Frost in the Town Court for the
second time, Wednesday a. m., and the
vagrancy charge nolled and the more
serious one of burglary lodged against
them. ’
Both men again pleaded not guilty,
and Messrs. John A. Smith of the
Adams Express company and Ira E.
Petty, yardmaster, testified to the
actions of the two men at the depot yes-
terday morning prior to their arrest.
The testimony was substantially the
same as published in these columns yes-
terday. Mr. Petty was cross examined
by Schultz, who apparently intended
to make the point that Mr. Petty could
not positively identify him as the man
he saw walking. up the tracks with the
cloaks. In this he succeeded as Mr.
Petty could not identify him as the man.
W. C. Sprague. the Adams Express
mess_enger--.un__. the train which was
robbed,testified that he first discovered
that the car had been robbed when the
train'reached-Wickford, R. I. He said
the window in the rear had been broken
out together with the sash, and some one
standing on the car platform had rifled
five boxes of cloaks which had been
piled'up' near the widow. The boxes
were produced, showing the way they
had been broken open and were identi-
fied by Mr Sprague.
Oflicer Pennington repeated his testi-
mony of Tuesday and then Assistant
Superintendent’John C. C‘urtis, of the
Adams Express company, presented a
duplicate invoice of the cloaks stolen,
after which the state rested.
Charles Schultz, one of the accused,
then addressed Judge Frost and made a
plea for liberty. His manner of address
and the language used not only showed
him to be a, man of intelligence but
that he had been in a police court be-
fore. He made the point that no evi-
dence had been produced to directly
connect him with the robbery. He ad-
mitted having the goods in his posse s-
sion,but stated that he had found them
near the depot.
Judge Frost then bound the prison-
ers over to the Superior court, which
meets in Danbury on the 3d of October
next, under $1, 000 bonds each.
When asked if he could secure that
amount of bail, Schultz responded, “I
can’t‘to-day but will be able to later,”
thus indicating that he had “friends”
in New York who would look after his
interests.
During the trial and while Schultz
was making his plea, a snap shot was
taken of him, and also his pal, which
will be sent to the New York police in
an effort to identify them.
A Difference of Twelve Hours.
Yeaterday, ayoungimsu who is em-
ployed asa clerk-ate. Main street mur- j-
ket, exhibited a disposition to drop off
asleep every time he sat down. Early
in the afternoon as the attack did not
wear off he concluded to go home and
take a sleep in bed. He left word with
a member of the family to call him at 4 :
o’clock. This was done but he failed to ;
arise. It Was repeated at 6 ocloc 1,
when he awoke and asked, “What time
is it? On being informed he hastily
dressed and started for the barn, under’
the impression that it was morning.
On the way he met some little children
who were playing on the street, remark-
ing as he passed them, “You are up
pretty early ain’t you?” and without
waiting for an answer hastened on.
Soon after he met a friend of whom he
asked the time of the day, and at the
same time found 'out that it was evens
ing not morning. He then retraced
his steps home again, but just what he
thought has not yet been learned.

Rev. Mr. ' Beard, requested that fifty
men meet him before leaving the hall,
to organize for the purpose of fighting

singing and applaudings of the good
things said and done, made the ace ision
one of absorbing interest and a grand
