proof cow barn erected. The building
is 50 feet wide and 200 feet long. Un-

proper over the cellar is supported by
steel beams and bl‘ickuaréh‘é—snghe
roof and interior supports of the stalls

The Board of Lady Visitors of the
Norwalk Hospital held an enthusiastic
meeting the other day and decided to
offer the people of Norwalk a chance
to contribute to this worthy charity
through a grand fair to be held at
Lockwood’s Hall on the evenings of
Nov. 16 and 17. The Hall has been en-
gaged, and the Ladies are in active
canvass for articles fOr the fancy ta-
bles, “The Mystery Table,” “Sleepy
Hollow Table,” “Jack Horners Pie,”
dolls and many other features which
only those conversant with fairs appre-
ciate. It is some time since the Ladies
have called upon the people of Norwalk,
and as all the Churches are interested,
contributions may be sent through the
churches or to any member of the
Visiting Board. ‘
The twenty-sixth annual meeting of
the state council of Connecticut, Order
of United American Mechanics, will
convene at Waterbury on Tuesday,
October 19, at 10 a. m., and will re-
main in session for two days. The ses-
sion promises to be a very important-
one, from the fact that at that time a
number of pr'oposed changes to the
laws will come up for action.
Very fortunately the national council
has already held its session, so that the
changes that were made there are
known and the state council will not,
as in the past, make laws only to find
that they are in conflict with higher
authority and consequently inopera-
tive. ‘
The headquarters of the board of of-
ficers during ,the season will be at the
Scoville House, and the committees on
law, appeals and credentials will be in
session at the same place on the even-
ing of the 18th, in order that the re-
ports may be ready to be presented in
good time to the state council.
It was intended early in the season
by the Waterbury councils to hold a
grand parade at the time the state
councils met, and circulars asking the
opinion of all the councils in the state
in regard to the feasibility of the pro-
ject were sent out. It must have been
that the responses were not favorable,
for since that time nothing has been
heard of a parade.
Attorney John H. Light as counsel
for the town of New Canaan, appeared
before the civil superior court in
Bridgeport on Monday and asked for
an order taxing the costs to the manda-
mus proceedings which were brought
against the tovVn officers to compel
them to count the license vote ofa year
ago.
It will be recalled that the liquor
WEEKLY
dealers wanted the courts to orde'r'the
town clerk and moderator of 'the elec-
tion held in the fall of 1896, at which
no license was carried by one vote, to
say that the town went for license be-
cause a certain ballot was allowed.
The court denied the motion with costs
to the proponent.
Attorney Julius Curtis of Stamford,
who appeared for the liquor dealers,
argued that there was no one, to tax the
costs to. The writ of mandamus had
been brought in the name of the state’s
attorney, as required by law, and he
could , not be taxed with the costs,
neither could the judge who signed the
writ. .
Judge Elmer said it was not the bus1-
ness of the court to say who should pay
the costs. It was for the clerk to tax
them and then for the party to whom
they were allowed to collect them—“if
he can. “You have got your costs.”
said his honor, “now collect them.”
During the last few months the resi-
dents of the town of Nichols have been
kept in a state of fear by the daring
methods of masked burglars, who have
invaded that section. . The desperate
hold up of John M. Nichols and his
daughter in their home, followed by
the murder of George Marcus Nichols
and the attempted murder of his sister,
so alarmed the townspeople that the
slightest intimation of a robbery creates
much excitement.
, The commission of these crimes was
the principal Subject under discussion
during several months, but fear was
gradually subsiding when another se-
ries of robberies was made known. The
latest was on last Saturday night, at
the home of Charles G. Perry, a farmer,
whose residence is on what is known
as the Stratford road. It is but a short
distance from the center of Nichols‘
Mr. Perry has a large family and on
Saturday night they retired about the
usual time. It was near midnight
when one of the sons, who sleeps in one
of the upper rooms, was aroused by a
noise at the side door. He at first
thought it was occasioned by some
member of the household. He decided
to dress, however, and make an inves-
tigation. When he stepped into the
sitting room he was confronted by a
stranger. ' The latter was a big fellow,
well built, and his face was hidden by
a black mask. Perry asked him what
he was doing there, and the stranger,
after giving him one glance, made a
dash for the door. In an instant he
was down the road towards St-ratford,
with Perry after him. * The fellow
proved too fleet, however. and made
good his escape. The Perry family
were greatly frightened on learning of
their danger. It was said that Mr.
Perry had a large sum of money in the
house on Saturday night, and this fact
is supposed to have leaked out. The
thief was evidently prepared to battle
with the older member of the house-
hold: but when he was confronted by
the young man, he decided not to take
any chances. The report of the burg-
lar’s attempt soon reached the village
of Nichols, and he was the subject of
discussion there.
The attempted burglary of the Perry
home has brought to light a. robbery
which occurred over a week ago, but.
which did not gain much publicity. The
home of a man named Reed, a neighbor
of Mr. Perry, was visited and $35 in
money taken. The money. was in a
pocketbook in a hip pocket of the own-
er’s trousers. The garment hung at his
bedside. The thief entered the room
while Reed and his wife were asleep
and took the money. He put the pock-
etbook back in its place and left by a
window without disturbing the sleepers.
The robbery was not discovered until
the next morning.
Saturday afternoon Chief Vollmer
learned. that there was a stranger in
his precinct who was trying to dispose
of a horse and top buggy at a figure
that led to the belief that it was stolen
property.
It was not long before the Chief had
the man in charge. The fellow plead-
ed that he was ill and out of sympathy
he was not placed in the cages at the
station-house but was kept under sur-
veillance, after being allowed to go to
a cheap boarding house pending fur-
ther investigation.
He first offered to sell the turnout,
which was perhaps worth $75, for 2.3.
His customer would not-pay that price
but offered him $10 for the same, which
offer the fellow accepted with a “ Well
give me your $10 and take the team.”
The party then advised the Chief of the
low figure at which the turnout had
been offered to him, with the result
that the man was held as above stated.
The fellow told the chief that he be-
longed in Meriden and gave his name
as Ernest D. Miller and said that he
bought the turnout of Charles Fair-
banks of that city, and that he was en-
gaged in the sale of harness dressing.
To several other questions asked him
he gave evidence that he was lying to
the South Norwalk vidocq, who said
that he would telephone to the parties
mentioned.
"That’s, all right” said the man,
“but it would be better to telephone to
Deputy sheriff FitzRoy of Greenwich.
He had me under arrest for two days
on the same charge and knows all about
H
I‘he chief, however, telephoned to
Captain Ford in Meriden and later re-
’ ,ceived a reply that neither (if the men
mentioned were known there.
3 He then communicated with FitzRoy
.NORWAEK‘GAZETTB
who said that he had last week arrested
the man but being unable to find that
the pigisoner was not telling the truth
as to the ownership of the team had let
him go. Here too he also claimed to
be ill, but had stated that he had se-
cured. the . horse in Brooklyn. At
Greenwich he gave his name as Rogers.
‘He claimed that‘he had been on the.
road for over two years and had his
gOOds shipped to him by freight, and
gave different ad dresses as to where
the goods he pretended to, sell were to
be shipped but was unable to show any
receipts. In fact all of his statements
have since proven to have been a series
of falsehoods. ,
On Saturday last special officer Rior-
dan who had occasion to visit Newark,
N. J .,was furnished with a full descrip-
tion of the man and turnout and told
by the", chief to make such inquiries as
he might be able, as to the identity of
the same. And it proved to be a wise
move on the part of the chief.
Officer Riordan found that the team
was owned by a man named Cuff who
keeps a livery stable there, and who
had let it to the man described and
who gave his name as John Doll, and
said that he wanted to drive to the
Waverly fair.
Confronted with this evidence this
morning the fellow weakened and ad-
mitted that he had stolen the same,
besides giving other damaging testi-
mony against himself. -
Officer Riordan also learned that the
man was suspected of having done time
in States prison. .
The chief of police of Newark is ex-
pected here to take charge of the pris-
oner to-day.
A match has been made for a contest
between fox hounds owned by James
C. Haggerty, of Greenwich, and a
bound owned by :1: Norwalk man, the
contest to take place in a few weeks in
the fields near Darien, for a purse of
$50. The Norwalk man says that his
hound will run Haggerty’s off a trail in.
three hours, and the contest will be de-
cided upon this point. Stamford hunt-
ers who are acquainted with Mr. Hag-
gerty’s hound and who have seen him’
on a fox hunt say that the purse will
go to Greenwich.~—Stamford Telegram.
While hearing the Byington-Ga‘rdi-
ner case on Monday, Judge Frost re-
moved his handsome light overcoat and
placed it on a chair beside him on the
bench. After the hearing was closed
he hurried away leaving the overcoat
behind. That same afternoon the hear-
ing in the matter of the City of Nor-
walk Vs. the Union Manufacturing
Company took place in the court room.
There was an unusual array of lawyers
present, but the overcoat was unmo-
lested and remained in the court room
all night. Yesterday morning it was
returned to the Judge through the
courtesy of Clerk Fred Hill.
Lawyer Hurlbutt, who manages the
Greenwich law office of Loomey, Lynch

being printed. It will contain upwards
of 100 pages of reading matter of inter-
est to} saloon keepers and temperance
people and the law firm proposes to sell
them throughout the state.——Stamford

How Miss Qisnéi-os Escaped.
New York, Oct. 12.—The manner in“
which Evangelina Cosio y Cisneros es—
caped from the Cuban prison in which
Gen. Weyler had consigned her Is no
less‘interesting than the escape itself.
The young girl who had the courage
to defy Weyler’s favorite officer and
later the Butcher himself was quick to
see a chance to escape when the'oppor-
tunity ciame. She communicated with
friends outside. and to them made
lznown her plan of escape.
Miss Evangelina studied the situation
rarefully, and then made her arrange-
*ents to get away from the prison.
The plan followed by her she laid out
i’lel'Self, and all those who helped her
and 'to do was to follow her instruc-
I.mt-s. ’
And this is the way she planned it in
a note sent to those outside who were
to aid her:
"To escape by the roof with the aid
of a rope, descending by the front of
the house at a given hour and signal.
For this I require acids to destroy the
iZSLl‘S of the windows, and opium or
molphine so as ‘to set to sleep my com-
panions. The best way to use it is in
sweets, and thus I can also set to sleep
Elie vigilants.
Three of you come and Stand at the
corners. A lighted cigar will be the
signal of alarm, for which I may have
to delay, and a White handkerchief will
be the agreed signal by which I may
safely descend. I will only bring with
me the necessary clothes tied around
my waist.” ‘ '
That plan, outlined by the young
woman, was followed almost to the let-
ter. When she had weakened the bars
of the Window in her cell she gave the
signal that all was ready. She slid
doWn the rope that dangled from her
cell to the ground.
Once there she was hurried away to
a secret hiding-place, from which she
embarked on a. steamer for the United
States.
Miss Ciuneros in New York.
New York, Oct. 12.—Miss Evangelina
Cisneros, the young Cuban girl who
escaped from Casa. de Recojidas, in
Cuba, where she was held a prisoner
of war, arrived here yesterday after-
noon on the Ward line steamship Con-
cho in disguise. She was taken imme-
diately to the offices of the Cuban
Junta in New York. There she related
all about her experiences with \Veyler
and his men, all of which has been
published at great length for the past
month. Miss Cisneros appeared to be
in good health, and was jubilant over
her escape.
Serious Riot in Rome.
Home, Oct. 12.—A large procession of
tradesmen, headed by the Pro-Syndic
3f Rome and the president of the
Shamber of Commerce, marched to the
office of the Minister of the Interior
last evening to protest against and
:onfer with the Government regarding
the increased taxation.
’ A large crwod of people had collect-
ed around the Ministry, angry shouts
were heard, and some of those present
tore up paving stones and otherwise
assumed a very threatening attitude.
This caused the police to make an at-
:empt to disperse the violent portion of
:he crowd, and in the conflict which fol—
‘owed six policemen were injured and
me rioter was killed.

Luetgert as a Showmun. ,
Chicago, Oct. 12,—Luetgert is plan-
ning to become a showman as soon as
he is freed, which he has no doubt he
will be. With the middle vat and the
pack of Great Dane hounds he will
make a tour of the country, and thus
retrieve his lost fortune. - -
“I have lost all my money, and this
infamous charge they have put against
me has ruined my business," he says.
“Do you think I am going to permit
myself to become a poor man—a charge
on the country? No, I will make lots
of money. I will make as much in a.
year as I lost last year, and that is a
good deal. Then I will find my wife
and you can watch out to see what I
will do to my prosecutors.”
As soon as the trial is over Mrs. Will-
iam Charles will have a warrant issued
for the arrest of Mrs. r'eldt.
Owing to the failure of witnesses for
the defense, the sur-rebuttal, which
was begun this morning, was abruptly
concluded at 11 o’clock, and a recess
was taken.‘ The argument began this
afternoon. Assistant State’s Attorney
McEwen made the opening speech.
CORBETT CLAIMS CHAMPIONSHIP.
New York \Vorld Transfe'rs Laurels
from Bob to Jim.
New York, Oct. 12.——The New York
“'orld has taken the pugilistic cham-
pionship from Fitzsimmons, who sup-
posed he held it, and given the bauble
to Corbett. The transfer was made to-
day, and in this language, Corbett evi-
dently concurring:
“According to precedent in pugilism
a champion must either accept a chal-
lenge—if one is issued to him—Within
isix months after the challenge is is—
1 sued, or else he forfeits the champion-
r';'.ip. It is over six months since Fitz-
sinlmons was first challenged by Cor-
bett to fight again for $10,000 a side
and the championship, and as he has
made the sporting public weary by his
numerous announcements of retire-
ment, he is therefore regarded as a
‘good, old has-been.’ '
“Corbett was never accused of being
afraid to defend the title, and now that
he regains the title again by the re-
tircment of Fitzsimmons he will .no ,
doubt be ready to fight any one WhO'iS'" .
sues a challenge to him and secures
backing for $5,000 or $10,000 a. side, soon-
er~than listen to the same sarcastic
remarks which sporting men passed
about Fitzsimmons. The American
public is anxious to see Corbett regain
his lost laurels in the ring, and the
chances are that if he comes out with
a statement to the effect that he will
fight any man in the world for the
championship, he will make a great
hit.” -
