John Beagan, .by.a Rash Act, Imperils
Life.‘
'A man named John Beagan became
intoxicated yesterday afternoon, and
late in the evening visited the Austin
restaurant, where he created quite a
rumpus.
Without any apparent cause he upset
a table upon which: there was a large
brass lamp and some dishes. Owing to
the promptness, of William Sheldon,
who picked the lamp up, what might
have proved a disastrous fire was
averted.
Emmet Austin who was in the res-
taurant at the time asked Beagan what
he meant by acting in such a manner.
Beagan it is alleged, then drew a knife
and threatened to carve Austin,against
which Emmet had more or less objec-
tion, and Captain Dann was summoned
who landed the belligera nt Beagan in
the station house on Smith street.
He will be given a hearing in the
Town Court this afternoon.
It is stated that previous to visiting
Austin’s restaurant, Beagan attempted
to go into the Opera House where a re-
hearsal of the St. Mary’s entertain-
ment was being held, and that he was
promptly ejected by Thomas Cooney.
When not under the influence of
liquor Beagan is said to be a good citi-
zen but when he has been drinking he
seemingly is unable to control his ac-
tions.
KNDBV OPENING.
Free LunCh, Free Carryalls and Dancing
I In the Evening.

gaged and will be run during the after-
noon and evening to connect with the

A ‘
Memorial Day.
' A. recentrorder issued from the adju-
tant-general’s ofiice prescribes for the
display of the national emblem on Me-
morial day from sunrise to sunset. It
reads : “In honor of the veterans of the
late war, and as a tribute of respect in
memory of the heroic dead, it is hereby
ordered that the national flag shall be
displayed from sunrise to sunset on
Memorial day, May 31, at the arsenal,
state armories and the soldiers’ home
at N oroton. Honor is thus awarded to
whom honor is due, and the superb
courage, splendid devotion to duty and
sacrifices of the grandest army the
world ever saw is appropriately recog-
nized and perpetuated.”
V
Worthy of Charity.
Mrs. Elbert Rose whose husband
deserted her some two or three years
ago, is seriously ill and unable to pro-
vide for her family of children. ThlS
seems to be a case worthy the attention
of some charitable persons. The woman
has managed to eke out a living by
taking in washing, but she has been ill
7
for the past two or three weeks and
forced to. depend upon her neighbors
for sustenance for her children. This
seems to be a case where the selectmen
might with credit to themselves and
the town lend a helping hand.
Band Concerts.
Dwyer’s City of Norwalk band ex-
pects next month to commence a series
of their summer nights’ concerts on
the Green. The citizens are contribut-
ing liberally toward the success of
these concerts which were a source of
so much pleasure to the citizens last
summer. The band furnished music
., at a reception given to Rev. Father
‘ Carroll in Westport last night.

WHERLE REFUSES,
To Deliver Up the Burritt Cup
Won at the Last Alpha
Races.
I
Unless the Club’s Demand is Complied with
the Law Will be Invoked.
At the Alpha Wheel club races on
June 17th, 1896, Robert VVherle won
what is known as the Burritt cham-
pionship cup, full ownership could
only be secured by his winning it three
times.
In July following, VVherle was ad-
vised that he had been adjudged a pro-
fessional rider, which edict does not
permit of his entering further contests,
the cup being for amateur riders.
Wherle has since refused to turn over
the cup to the club unless the L. A. W.
give him a prize to the value of at
least $35.
At a meeting of the club held last
evening it was voted to make a formal
demand for the cup, and if it was not
forthcoming that a suit at law be
brought to recover the same.
President Hail" went to Bridgeport
this morning to see VVherle and make
a formal demand for the cup.
