mor to be without foundation. The
relatives of the lady said that she is in

ing friends. The motorman referred
to. and who was some time previous in

DMrs. Esther Weed celebrated her
94th birthday anniversary at the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. Henry R.
Fitch of West avenue, on Saturday af-
ternoon. Mrs. Weed is a bright and
active old lady and will very likely
reach the century mark.
Mrs. Weed was born in Darien, Sept.
11, 1803, and came of a family noted for
longevity, her father reaching the
great age of 90 years and her mother
at the time of her decease was 97.
Mrs. Weed is the widow of the late
Ebenezer Weed of Darien, and has re-
sided in that place mostly all of her
long life. Her only living child is
Mrs. Fitch. She has seven grand-
children and four great-grand-children.
Many friends both old and young
called to do honor and participate in
the pleasures of the afternoon. Two
of the more aged visitors were Mrs.
Flora N. Dunning of South Norwalk,
and Mrs. Sally Mallory aged 94 and 93
respectively.
Our congratulations to the aged lady_
We wish her a happy and still longer
life.
Mrs. Daniel O’Brien, the woman who
was found early Wednesday morning
in an unconscious state, died between 6
and 7 o’clock Sunday evening without
regaining consciousness, which fact
makes the clearing of the mystery sur-
rounding the circumstance of her in-
jury exceedingly improbable. When
found Wednesday morning, Mrs.
O’Brien was in a semi-conscious con-
dition. She had a long cut on the
back of her head, and her face was
bruised as if the had received several
hard blows.
At a consultation of physicians, held
Friday afternoon at Mrs. O’Brien’s
home it was decided that her case was
hopeless, and that she would die with-
in two days of concussion of the brain.
The fatal result of the woman’s in-
juries has set the village gossip going
and there are many who do not give
credence to O’Brien’s statement to the
effect that his wife had fallen out of
bed. They have not yet made up their
minds as to the possible guilt of
O’Brien, though they hint that he
knows more that he has not told.
Many persons have recalled the fact
that about 12 years ago O’Brien suf-
fered from paris green poisoning. He
blamed his wife for his illness and
called in a physician to treat her for
mental aberration. There was little
doubt in the minds of almost everyone
that O’Brien took the poison by. mis-
take. .
Medical Examiner Power notified
Coroner Doten of Bridgeport of the
death of the woman, and an inquest
will be held today.
Miss Dora G. Phelps, for eleven
years matron at the County Home, has
feet on September 1.
Miss Phelps has been suffering with
ill health for some time which caused
her to sever her connection with the
institution. She has made many friends
since coming to Norwalk who will re-
gret her departure. Her management
of the Home since its institution. in
Norwalk has been of a high order, and
she leaves with the highest praise
From these facts it would -
resigned and her resignation took ef-'
from the County Commissioners for
her good work. .
The new matron who has been se-
lected to succeed Miss Phelps, is Miss
Martha A. Boughton, of Danbury, and
she took charge of the Home yester .'
day.
Miss Boughton is highly spoken of by
Commissioner Miller and will no doubt
make a honorable record for herself as
well as a creditable successor to Miss
Phelps.
Mrs. Emma B. Case has had charge
of the Home during Miss Phelps’ ab-
sence, and she will remain at the insti-
tution until the new matron is thor-
oughly installed in her position.
County Commissioner James E. Mil-
ler, of Danbury, is the secretary and
treasurer of the Home, and it is through
his efforts that the institution has been
made second to none in the state. .
‘ The present condition of the Home
is excellent, the children all well and
happy, and Mr. Miller is deserving of
great credit for his able management.
Hon. James H. Olmstead. of Stamford
was stricken down with appolexy in his
office Tuesday morning, paralysis of
the left leg following, and is now in a
serious condition at his home on Oliver
street. Mr. Olmstead went to his office
at the usual hour, about 9 a. m. and at
9:30, while engaged in business conver-
sation, suddenly became dizzy. He
called to Lawyer Benj. Lockwood, who
has an office with Mr. Olmstead, and
Mr. Lockwood at once perceived that
he was seriously ill and sent for Dr. C.
E. Rowell, Mr. Olmstead’s family phy-
sician. Dr. Rowell arrived at the Office
in a few moments an d found that,though
Mr. Olmstead’s mind was clear and that
he was able to converse, he had lost
the use of his left leg.
A carriage was immediately sun:-
moned. Dr. Rowell and Policeman
Nevins carried the stricken lawyer
to it, and he was conveyed to his home.
Dr. Rowell is unable to say how dan-
gerously ill Mr. Olmstead is, but says
that his condition is very serious. He
said that he was suffering from apop-
leXy from the burstihg of a blood vessel
in his brain, and the paralysis resulted.
He was endeavoring to check the flow
of blood from the bursted blood vessel.
For several weeks past, Mr. Olm-
stead has not been in his usual rugged
health, but his condition has not been
such as to detain him from business. He
was feeling no worse than for several
days when he arrived at his office yes-
terday morning:
The patient is a little more comfort-
able to-day. I .
Frank Racconelli, one of the murder-

‘ CLERICAL corvm'r escapes.
The Rev. Dr. Howard Gets Away From
the Columbus Penitentiary.
Columbus, 0., Sept. 14.-—-G. F. B. How-
ard has escaped from the Ohio peni-tem
itiary. He was a most famous United
States prisoner, and by a sensational
| escape adds another chapter to his
; most extraordinary history. .
‘ The Rev. Dr. Howard, as he calls
lhimself, first came into almost world-
? wide notoriety by his seven weeks’ trial
of a. libel suit, "brought by him to recov—
er $50,000 damages and which culminat-
ed in his being awarded 1 cent.
During the prog ess of the trial How-
'ard....was charged with masquerading
under a. false name, of murder, of giv-
ing locks of his luxuriant hair to ne-
igresses, with stealing another man’s
.wife, with buying Chinese women and
with many other offenses.
i For some years before 1889 the Rev.
" Dr. Howard had been a Baptist clergy-
iman at Jackson, Tenn., but he had a.
‘ dispute with his deacons about church
funds, and, with a band of faithful tol-
l lowers, he founded another church. He
{also published a newspaper called The
,True Baptist, in which he abused his
‘ enemies. l
The faculty of the Southwest Baptist
university became so indignant at his
attacks that at length an article enti-
tled “The Mask Removed” ways pu '—'
iished in a rival paper. This, which The
whole of his late deacons signed with
their own names, accused the Rev. Dr.
Howard with such a catalogue of crimes
as rarely fell to the lot of one man.
The principal charges set fort-’11 that
he was a swindler and an impostor,
\vhpse real name was Howlett or Hew-
lett: that he boarded with a negro b1
South Carolina and slept in the same
room with the colored man an his
wife; that while at sea he had ki ed a
man, was wrecked on lghe Chinese coast
and had bought two Ohihese women.
An affidavit was got from a Mrs.
Mattie McCarthy, formerly Mrs. Brown,
who stated that she ran away with
Hewlett while he was boarding with her
and her husband, “because she had
fallen in love with him on account of
his handsome face and figure.”
In one of the exhibited letters to this
woman he added a. postcript contain-
ing 1,000,000,000,000 kisses. Immense
amounts of money were spent in trying
to prove that Dr. Howard and Howlett
were the 5a., .e man. The lawyers to the
deaccns an professors sent over to
England to discover his ancestors, while
Dr. Howard made four trips across the
ocean to endeavor to prove that the
noble blood of the Howards ran in his
veins. It was charged that he pur-
chased forged affidavits, and the case
became locally as famous as the cele-
brated Tichborne case.
