SUNDAY BLAZE.

At8:40 o’clock Sunday‘morning as
Paul Haskins, coachman for Mrs.
Charles E. Raymond, was passing along
North Main street he discovered smoke
issuing from the basement of E J.
Wadhams’ meat market 1n the Dibble
block. He gave the alarm and box 3
in front of the Mahackemo was pulled.

The Putnam Hose wagon was prompt-
ly on hand and several lines of hose
were laid in quick order, and the water

urned on.

The blaze could not be seen but a
dense volume of thick, black smoke
poured out from the basement that
nearly strangled the firemen. They
stuck to their work. however, and soon
had the fire extinguished, but not be-
fore everything in the market overhead
had been thoroughly smoked and
ruined. _,

The fire appeared to have started in a
pile of barrels and burnt its way up
through the floor under the ice and fish
boxes.

The origin of the fire is a mystery,
as Mr. Fanoher and Frank Hanford, a
clerk, were in the store at 7:30 o’clock
thatmurning, getting out several or-
ders. When they left, there was no
sign of fire about the p? 1 mises.

The stock and fixiul'e’n 11mm 113.111....)
by Mr. Fancher with \Vulter L 17171113111;
for 3900, and the loss will not amount
to over $500.

The building is owned or the Lorenzo
Dibble estate, and is IUSU'ed with
Jacob M. Layton for $2,000 The dam-
age to the building will amount to
about 8300.

A BAD STORM

' When the afternoon steamers bound
east ,‘Saturday poked their 'prows away
from New York and up into the sound,
they met one of the severest gales and
the heaviest seas encountered in'many
months.

A l day Saturday the wind had been
blowing a hurricane out of the north-
east in the shape of what seafaring men
term a “dry storm.” It was a head
wind for easterly bound craft and no
sailing vessels attempted to work up the

 

 

 

sound, hundreds of them laying up in

the City Island roads and other places
of shelter. Numerous small steamers
also took the same precaution.

The steamer Nutmeg State left New
York on nearly her schedule time Satg

urday and made a brave fight againSt"
the gale and tide. She finally managed

to reach this port an hour or so late.

The Rosedale, with a good sized pas-
senger list and a heavy freight, did: not
fare so well, being a sidewheeler. She
bufi'eted the gals as best she could, hug-
ging in pretty well to the north shore.
The craft was badly tossed about and
many passengers were seasick.

The gale and rough water increasing,
it was decided to run into Wilson’s
Point, whichfwas done, where the pas-
sengers were landed and made their
way to Bridgeport by train. ,The steam-
er lay‘their until yesterday afternoon,
when she sailed for Bridgeport reach-
ing there about o’clock.

The steamer Montauk, en route
from New York to Greenport had a
fierce struggle with the gale Saturday.
She is a sidewheeler. The Montauk
made her way up the Sound and had a
hard struggle with the heavy seas, which
carried away some of her carpenter
work and threatened to submerge the
craft. After much effort the steamer
was headed for Bridgeport, where
she tied up at the end of the Naugatuck
pier and her passengers were sent into
New London by rail.

The gale of Saturday crowded the
harbor with storm-bound craft. Sev-
eral tugs and a fleet of coal boats came
into port for shelter.

THE CONNECTING LINK.

 

Norwalk and Westport Now in Electric
Accord With Each Other.

Tuesday morning Selectmen Selleck
and Merrill paid an informal visit to
' Westport.

Their stay was brief. And they were
unaccompanied by lawyers. '

They, in company with others, took
what will pass down into history as
the first ride to Westport from Norwalk
by electric cars. 'To Miss Alice Sher-
wood is accorded the honor of being
the first woman to reach the home of
Editor Jones of the Westporter.

Last evening the communication be-
tween the 'two places was attempted
but a telephone pole stood in the way
and the car was gracefully returned to
its starting point.

The trip this morning, however, was
a successful one, and it will not be
many days ere our good friends of
Westport can board a car and come to
Norwalk and enjoy the goodness there-
of for the expenditure of a nickel.

Superintendent Mansfield, informed
a Gaznrrn representative that a time-
table will soon be issued and the cars
be “on a run” at an early date.

The power used last evening and to-
day was furnished by the N orwalk and
South Norwalk Electric Light Com-
pany, an arrangement of wire .connec-
tions to that end having been made yes-
“ terday. Hereafter, the power will
‘ probably be furnished by the company’s
own plant.

.WAS 11 MURDER?

The man who was killed near Branch-
vilIe last Thursday night was identified
by Hubbard Blakeslee, of Winnipauk,
Saturday afternoon, as Frank Patter-
.son, an employee of his.

Mr. Blakeslee is a farmer living about
one mile from the South Wilton station.
He said that the dead man came to his
place some time ago and asked for em-
ployment, saying he was a farm hand
and could do any kind of work on a
farm.' He was put to work and proved
to be an excellent workman. He was
always ready and reliable, and no fault
could be found with his work.

Tuesday was Patterson’s pay day, and
after being paid his regular month’s
salary he asked permission to go to
Danbury for a day or two to visit
friends. Blakeslee granted the request
and Patterson started for that city.
That was the last Blakeslee saw of him

alive. He said that he read in the pa-
pers of a man getting killed near the
town of Branchville, but had no idea
that it was Patterson. When he did
not arrive homo Frlday night he be-
came suspicious, thinking that some-
thing might have happened him. Pat-
terson was a man who never used intox-
icating beverages while working for
him. Blakeslee had great faith in him
for such short acquaintance and knew
that he would return if nothing hap-
pened.

Mrs. Blakeslee called her husband’s
attention to the story published in the
newspapers about the man killed near
Branchville, thinking it might possibly
be Patterson. Mr. Blakeslee would not
pay any attention to such an idea, but
she kept urging him so much to find
out about it that he finally hitched up
his team and drove to Ridgefield, Sat-
urday afternoon. To his great surprise
he found it to be the remains of Patter-
son.

When Mr. Blakeslee was asked where
Patterson lived he said he could not
tell, as he (Patterson) never gave him
any knowledge as to where he came
from and invariably refused to relate
anything concerning his antecedents.

The clothes that PatterSOn wore were
not of a tramp design, but were appro-
priate for any farm laborer to wear
when going to the city. Mr. Blakeslee
was always of the opinion that Patter--
son was once a properous farmer who
had failed, possibly due to the depres-
sion'bf business that has lately pre-
He
was about 35 years of age. He once
told .Mr. Blakeslee that he was a single
'man. When Mr. Blakeslee was asked
how much he thought Patterson had in
his possession, he replied he did not
know,tliat he only paid him his month’s
salary the day he left, and when being
told that there was no money in his
possession when killed, he was greatly
surprised and said that there must have
been foul play.

From the time Patterson left Blakes-
lee’s farm until his remains were picked
up no one can be found who saw him.
The circumstances surrounding the fa-
tality indicate that it was .either mur-
der or suicide. When the man was first
seen, he lay on his back a short distance
from a sharp curve in the road. This
prevented Engineer Adams from seeing
him until the engine was almost upon
him.

.For the few moments that the engi-
neer did see him, he appeared to be
asleep or unconscious. It is not prob-
able that a man would lay across a
track to sleep unless he was intoxicated
or bent upon suicide. Just how Pat-
terson came to be laying across the
track will always remain a" mystery.
Patterson’s body was buried in Ridge-
field Saturday afternoon.

Death of George T. Holly.

George T. Holly, aged 76, died Tues-
day at his residence in Stamford. He
was a native of the town and had been
identified for many years with its busi-
ness interests. During the war he serv~
ed as quartermaster with the rank
of captam, on the staff of Gen. John
L. Scofield in Missoun and at the close
of the War was appointed one of the
three Commissioners for that state un-
der the reconstruction act. He was a
brother of William H._ Holly, who was
editor of the Stamford Advocate from
1830 to 1848. His surviving children
are Charles F. Holly, who residing in
Colorado; George T. Jr., in Mexico,
and William H. Holly of the Stamford
Savings bank, who is brigade inspector
of small arms practice and ordnance
officer, with rank of major, in the Con-
necticut National Guard. Mr. Holly
occasionally told the story of his intro-
duction to Gen. Lafayette, at the time
of that distinguished oflicer’s brief V1sit
to Stamford in 1824. He didmot re-
member anything about it, for ‘he was
an infant in his mother’s arms at the
time, but the latter often told him of
how the great man, passing along the
street, stopped, ‘with a Frenchman’s
politeness, to pay a pleasant compli-
ment to the young mother and her
child. He was married in 1851 to Miss
Sarah Kellogg of Norwalk, who died
some years ago.

‘ THETOWNCOURT.

Judge Russell Frost a1 '1 Associate
Judge H.Whitmore Gregor of 11m To 1711
were sworn in Monday by ex- 11111 or
James T. Hubbell at the Town'Coun
Room in the GAZETTE building. Judge
Frost appointed H. E. Ferris Prose-
?cuting Attorney in place of Judge Greg-
ory and Fred A. Hill, clerk. The ap-
pointment of Joseph B.Taylor as Prose-
cuting-Attorney will follow as his term
has not yet expired, the other appoint-
ments were necessary on account of
the advancement of Judge Gregory.

Ex-Judge Huhbell made a few re-
marks regurding the work of the court
and particularly of the able and judic-
ious manner in which the Prosecuting
Attorneys had performed their duties.
Remarks were made by J. J. Walsh,
Judge Gregory and Joseph R. Taylor.
Judge Frost from the bench made some
very kind allusions to the retiring
judge, all of which were deservedly won
by the “prisoner” who of his own voli-
tion had been "discharged” from his
duties as associate judge. Mr. Hub-
belllwill this month join his family in
North, Carolina, and the writer thinks
that he makes no mistake in the prop-
hecy that Mr. Hubbe‘ll will if he so do-
sires find himseif representing that
state in Congress.

 

Death or James Mitchell.

James Mitchell died at his home on
Clifi' street Wednesday morning, in the
76th year ofhis age. The funeral will be
attended Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock,
Revs. Pond and Selleck officiating.
The funeral will be strictly private ow-
ing to the serious illness of the wife of
the deceased.

Probably no man was better known
to the people of Norwalk than was
James Mitchell. And he know every-
body. He was an encyclopedia of in-
formation and was conversant with
every tract of land within a radius of
forty miles of his home.

He was born in Salisbury, England,
and was one of a family of seventeen
children. He came to this country in
1829, With his parents James and Lydia
Mitchell who settled in Danbury, and
in 1836 removed to Norwalk where he
has ever since resided.

He had been engaged in the meat
business, but of late years took as his
livelihood the auction and real estate
business,which his jovial, happy nature
seemed to have fitted him, together
with a knowledge of the value of prop-
erty.

”Jim Mitchell” as he was familiarly
called had many friends who will learn
of hisdeath with sorrow.

His demise was not unexpected as he
had been ill for several weeks with dis—
ease that had made such inroads on his
health that no chance of his recovery
Was apparent. A man of great vitality,
he bravely battled for life, but Ito no
purpose.

His wife and two children, a son and
a daughter survive him.

Mrs. Selle’ck’s Will.

The will of the late Mrs. George Ward
Selleck was admitted to prob ate before
Judge Woodward Wednesday. By its
provisions Mr. Selleck is given valuable
real estateon East avenue, and a life
interest in other investments, the prin-
cipal of which can if necessity call for
be drawn upon by Mr. Selleck. There
was a liberal distribution of legacies
among relatives, and the will is spoken
of as being a just one in every particu—
lar.

This is to be G. A. 1%. week in Water-
l1ur~., for that may is the one chosen
thla year as the 1: round for the annual
star-e e111.- 1mpment of the department of
Connecticut.

 

The encampment will open on Friday

morning, May 7, and will continue until
the afternoon of Saturday, May 8. The
sessions will most of them be held in
Speedwell hall, the grand reception
and public entertainment of Friday
evening being held in the Auditorium.
The first sesssion will be the council
of the department advisory committee,
who will hold an executive session at
the Scovill house at 11 a. m. on Friday.

The regular session of the encamp-
ment will open in Speedwell hall at 2
p. m. on Friday, and it is expected that
there will be a large attendance, at least
400 members being assured from the
posts. of the state. The exercises will
consist of addresses and reports of de-
partment officers, the first of which
will be the annual address of the retir-
ing commgnder of the department. He
will address the members on the condi-
tion of the order, reviewing the work
and events of the past year, remember-
ing those comrades who have dropped
out of the ranks during its progress,
and welcoming the survivors to Water-
bury. Reports and addresses by other
officers will follow, and the rest of the
session will be spent in organizing.

The great feature of the encampment
will be the grand reception given in
the Auditorium on Friday evening, at
which Commander-in-Chief Clarkson,
of Nebraska, will be present and re-
ceive the members and their friends.
There will also be several addresses,
mostly by local speakers, among them
the Rev. Dr. Anderson and Col. Bur-
pee. The Hon. William E. Simonds,of
Hartford, judge advocate on the state
department staff, will also be present
and respond to the toast, “Fraternity,
Charity and ,Loyalty.”’ There will
also be addresses by prominent mem-
bers of the order from all over the
state, and the occasion promises to be
one of the highest interest, not only to
the members themselves, but to their
friends and all who have the spirit of
patriotism.

The first session on Saturday will be
in the forenoon, and will be mainly for
the election of department officers.
The principal interest will, of course,
center around the contest for first place,
that of department commander, which
has so ably been filled by Oscar W.
Cornish. The principal candidates who
have appeared so far are G. D. Bates
of Putnam, Thomas Boudren of Bridge-
port, and Henry R. Jones of New Hart-
ford. Mr. Boudren has the support of
all the larger posts in the western part
of the state, while Mr. Bates has a
strong support on account of the
feeling that the eastern part of the
state should have the candidate at least
once in two years. Capt. Jones has also
a strong following in the same sections.
For the second place, the senior vice
commandership, there are two principal
candidates. George R. Bevins, of Dan-
bury and W. C. Hilliard, of Bristol,
while the office of junior vice command-
er has several candidates, principal
among them being Edward Griswold,
of Guilford, and Charles Scranton, of
Derby.

The sessions of the encampment will ~

close on Saturday afternoon, the first
one being principally taken up with the

consideration of certain resolutions
concerning the order.
