On a Burglar’s Trail.
Deputy Sheriff Theodore Miller,‘who
has been busy for several days past in-
vestigating the burglary of Webb &
Abbot’s store in Noroton, last Wednes-
day night, is satisfied that he has dis-
covered the parties who commmitted
the deed. The bungling manner by
which an entrance was forced is con-
clusive proof that it was the work of
amateurs. A suspicious character with
a shady reputation was seen about No-
roton that day with a satchel in his
possession. He has since disappeared.
Mr. Miller expects to have the burglars
in a short time.

Mrs. Helen Behrens Had a Bush of Blood
to Her Head.
The Journal of this morning prints
the following story. Mrs. Behrens is
mother of Mrs. George A. Honnecker
of East Norwalk:
“I did not attempt to commit suicide.
I am bothered, at times, by the blood
rushing to my head and for a minute
or so it leaves me unconscious. At
such times 1 usually do something
strange. I had one of those attacks
last night.” .
Mrs. Helen Behrens, who said she
lived at No. 4-1 Emery place, Jersey
City, and that her husband was em-
ployed at No. 100 Pearl street, New
York, made this statement when she
was arraigned in the Centre Street court
yesterday. Well dressed and intelli-
gent, she said she was fifty-one years
old.
She boarded the ferryboat Hudson
City atJersey City on Tuesday, night
at 11 o’clock. When the ferryboat was
in mid-stream Pilot Taylor caught Mrs.
Behrens opening one of the gates, and
when she was prevented she tried to
climb over the railing. She was kept in
custody until the boat reached this side.
Notwithstanding her statement Mag-
istrate Flammer decided to commit her
to Believue Hospital for examination
as to her sanity.

A Norwalk “Masher” Mashed.
A couple of “fresh” Norwalk youths
came over to this city on the trolley
line last night, with the avowed pur-
pose of making the acquaintance of
some Stamford maidens. While on
Meadow street they evidently imagined
themselves in Norwalk, and made saucy
remarks toacouple of passing young»
women. One of these resented th‘d?’
freshness of the youth by suddenly
whirling around and dealing one of
them a resounding smack upon the
cheek. Both of the young men then .
decided that it was time to start for

Major E. A. Garlington was shot
through the aim at the battle of
"Wounded Knee,” December 29,
1890, the last. fight between the
Indians‘and our troops. It is not
often that a regular army officer
certifies to the value of a. proprietary
remedy, but this is what Major
Gatlington says about SALVA~CEAz
“ WASHINGTON, D. C.,
April 21, 1895.
“I have used SALVA-CEA for
soreness or rheumatic pains in the
muscles of my arm, which is dis-
abled from a. gun-shotwound involv-
ing the elbow joint ;relicf was quick

Not many people suffer
from gun-shot wounds, to be
sure, but lots of us do suffer
from piles, local skin irrita-
