FITZBOY TO THE RESCUE.
The Connecticut Deputy Sheriff Captures
Three Men Who Terrorized a School.
As Deputy Sheriff Fitzroy and his
son were driving by the little country
schoolhouse at Quaker Ridge, nearly
seven miles from Greenwich, about 2
o’clock yesterday afternoon, they were
startled by hearing the screams of the
children. They rushed into the build-
ing and found the ltttle schoolroom in
the possession of three drunken ne-
grdes. The Rev. Mr. McGill, the
teacher, was helping the screaming
children throuzh a rear window to a
place of safety. ‘
Sherifl Fitzroy laid his hand on Sam
Green and James Green, colored, two
of the men, who recognized him and
offered no resistance. Sam Adams,
the third man, made a dash for liberty
out the front door, closely followed by
young Fitzroy. Adams and Fitzroy
clinched near the brook that runs in
front of the schoolhousefiand in a few
moments young Fitzroy had the better
of his man. The three men were then
taken to Greenwich and locked up.
Mr. McGill, the teacher, is the Episco-
pal minister at Round Hili and Glen-
Ville. He says that the three men en-
tered the school very drunk, and when
he told them to leave threatened him
and the children with personal injury,
and were about to put their throats into
execution when he began to let the chil-
dren out of the window.

MRS. HAVEMEYER DEAD.
Divorced Wife of the Sugar King—Separa-
ted I5 Years.
The divorced wife of H. 0. Have-
meyer, the sugar king, died last night,
shortly after midnight at her residence
in Stamford. She had been ill but two
weeks with heart trouble but her illness
was not expected to cause her death as
she had been able to be about the house
most of the time. I
In the afternoon her illness took a
change and she sank rapidly until just
after midnight when she died. De-
ceased was about 50 years of age and
has lived here since the separation from
Mr. Havemeyer, about 15 years ago.
Her former husband, it will be remem-
bered, married his niece and came to
Stamford regulary every summer, tak-
ing up his residence near that of his
former wife. The latter has lived in
Stamford continously and was promi-
nent in society there. She was the
daughter of the late George Elder, who
was a member of the sugar‘refining
firm of Havemeyer 8: Elder of New
York. Two sisters survive her. They
are Mrs. Watson and Mrs. Adams, both
of whom reside in New York city.

A Snow Storm.
Norwalk was visited to-day by one of
the most severe snowstorms ot' the
season. It was a set ”back to business
of all kinds, and the streets have had a
decidedly deserted appearance. It
commenced snowing about 1 o’clock
this morning and bids fair to' continue
for some hours yet. The Street Rail-
way sweeper has been out and at work
and comparatively little delay has been
experienced in running the cars.

Beautiful Snow.
The snow has had its usual wrestle
today with the trolley lines. This morn-
ing, Superintendent Martin Kellogg
had his forces out bright and early,
clearing the, crosswaiks, when along
came the ponderous streetrailway snow
plow and hurled great winrows of the
"beautiful snow” all over them again,
making the last condition worse than
the first.

ELOPERABNESTED.
Aged Frederick Candee Lock-
ed, Up at Bridgeport
A Girl of Twenty His Partner.
Frederick Candee, aged 53, and a
resident of Bethlehem, this state, was
arrested yesterdy at the Bridgeport de-
pot as he stepped from a train. The
arrest is a sequel to a romantic story of
lage. . A
Candee is a blacksmith by trade, and
formerly conducted a shop in the little
town of Bethlehem, where he lived for
many years. Miss Edith |Carpenter,
aged 20, one of the popular young girls
of the town, and a daughter of well-to-
do parents, is also a native of the town,
Candee became infatuated with her,
and his affections were returned. ,‘As
Miss Carpenter’s parents were vigor-
ously opposed to a marriage, the couple
decided to take the matter into their
own hands, and consequently eloped.
This was eix or seven months ago.
They went directly to New York city,
and have been living there quietly ever
since.
( The girl’s parents were naturally very
much Worked up over the affair, and
excitement ran rife in the old town.
A warrant was issued for Candee’s ar-
rest, and Constable Hayes was delegate d
to ascertain the whereabouts of the
missing couple. Since that time Hayes
has been busily engaged in following
clues, and establishing communication
with the police of the larger eitie in
the state. Finally he ascertained that
Candee had been seen frequently in
New Haven and Bridgeport. He made
an investigation and quietly bided his
time, awaiting one of Candee’s periodic-
al trips. Hayes arrived in Bridgeport
yesterday morning, and accompanied
by Detectives Arnold and Cronan,
visited the depot, where Candee was
found and taken into custody, The
warrant charges him with seduction.
Candee offered no resistance, and was
immediately taken to police headquar-
ters and locked up. He admitted that
he eloped with Miss Carpenter, and
stated that she was at the present time
in New York. After turning Candee
over to the local authorities to be held
until his return, Officer Hayes left for
New York in quest of the young wo-
man, whom he will endeavor to per-
suade to return home with him.
When seen by the reporters Candee
refused to talk. He stated that he was
traveling for a concern, but did not
mention its name, and this was the
cause of his frequent visits to New Ha-
ven and Bridgeport. When asked if he
knew the man who arrested him he
made the significant reply: "I should
say I did; he learned his trade with me.”
