' Grand Juror Benedict of New Canaan has declared that intoxicating liquors shall not be sold in that town, which voted last fall for no license. He has observed that the “ old rounders ” had no particular difficulty in getting their usual amount of whiskey. The popular tipple there is said to be called‘ ‘moxey. ” Grand Juror Benedict claims to have found that “moxey” and whiskey are synonymous terms—at least in New Ca- naan. In that town, it is said, a toper calls for “moxey” just as some of the patrons of soda fountains call for “gin- ger ale.” Mr. Benedict stationed himself at a point opposite the Opera—house phar- macy and kept a close watch, especial- ly when certain men entered the store. One of those who called at the store was Harvey Coons. Harvey is reputed to experience an occasional need of something for his stomach’s sake. He was given a drink out of a “moxey” bottle that stood near a corner of the soda. fountain. ' When the grand juror noted this he hastened to Constable Samuel Ray— mond, and they went over to the drug store. “Doc, give me a cigar,,’ said Ray- mond, to Proprietor Edward Knox. Knox went to the cigar case, and then Raymond grabbed the bottle of “moxey” and smelled it. He nodded his head to the grand juror, and both officials looked satisfied. Druggist Knox didn’t say a word. It was about time for dinner, and he left the store in charge of a son of G. Duff Nichols. The constable went out to obtain a warrant, and the grand juror remained, as custodian of the “moxey. ” Soon after this, G. Duff Nichols en- tered the store. He saw Benedict. Benedict grasped the bottle tighter,be- cause Nichols wanted it. Nichols tried to obtain possession of it by force, but was not successful. Benedict dis- played great pluck. “I didn’t take the bottle anyway,” said he to Nichols, recovering his breath. “Who did ‘? ” “Constable Sam Raymond.” The men talked in a rational way at length, and peace reigned in the phar- macy when Constable Raymond return- ed, in company with Justice Silliman. The promptness with which justice is meted out in New Canaan was now dem- onstrated. All hands adjourned to the selectmen’s office, and Justice Sil- liman held court. Nichols appeared as counsel for the accused, and of course Benedict represented the State. Mr. Nichols filed a demurrer. The Justice overruled the demurrer and imposed a fine of 87, with costs. Mr. Nichols gave notice of appeal to the Court of Common Pleas. Grand Juror Benedict feels happy over what he considers another vindi- cation of the supremacy of the law. ———-—<0.0>——-———— DARIEN.

JOHN T. MCKEON. Aldutiful wife and a loving mother joined the vast majority in death yes- terday, in the person of Alice Carney, wife of John T. McKeon of Spring Hill. The deceased had not been in the best of health but not until within a few days had her condition been considered serious. Dysentery in its worst form set in and the patient rapidly failed until death called her for his own.

The funeral will probably be attended Sunday af- ternoon. ' A ‘ FRATERN AL NEWS.

For the last six weeks at the factory of Baird, Untiedt 8: Penfield of Bethel, the men in the making department have complained of the hard grade of work with a corresponding poor price in return. Shop calls were frequent and committees waited on the firm for relief, which was promised. For a brief time the firm did make the work better, but permitted it to gradually relapse. Finally yesterday they turned out and left the shop, resolved to find work elsewhere-and the make shop is without hands to-day. The price paid on a certain work which was particu- larly hard, was 7’2 cents, the men asked for 90 cent-s, but it was not granted. The number of men out is twenty-six. -—--—-—‘0.0’——-——— ,PERSONAL NOTES. Miss Agnes Ratchford is spending a few days with relatives in Danbury. Mr. and Mrs. Aurelius J.

A Much Respected New Ca- naan Lady "Suicides. / She was a Daughter of the Late Samuel Carter of Carter Street. Mrs‘ib Sarah Carter, widow of the late Lewis K. Hoyt, of Tallmadge Hill,‘a suburb of New Canaan, committed sui- cide yesterday by taking a quantity of Paris-green. She was about 75 years of age. She was a daughter of Samuel Carter, of Carter street, long since deceased. * She was, a worthy and highly esteemed woman and her suicide has caused deep regret and surprise. Her husband a respected resident of New Canaan died about three years ago. The old lady lived on a farm all by herself and it is thought that her lone- some life and her inability to look after the farm on account of her age, led her to end her life. Mrs. Holly, a neighbor, went to call on Mrs. Carter and getting no response to her repeat- ed knocking, she entered the house and found the old lady in great agony. The physician who was summoned could not save her life on account of her extreme age. The deceased has a sister, Mrs. Carter, living in New Ca- naan who has repeatedly asked her to come and live with her, but the old lady was very much attached to her farm and would not leave. The deceased was quite well known in N orwalk by some of the older resi- dents and that she committed suicide is a fact that it is hard for them to rec- oncile their minds. —A purse of $10 will be given away to-morrow night at the. Boston Store, N orwalk. Attractive bargains will be offered in all departments. EAST NORWALK. While returning home, last evening, from a call upon her daughter, Mrs. H. V.
