A fire of supposed incendiary origin
destroyed the main exhibition halls on
the Danbury fair grounds at an early
hour this morning, burning over an
i-area of. three or four acres and causing
a loss of fully $25,000, insured. There
was a high wind prevailing, but fortu-
nately the flames were carried in an
opposite direction so that the grand
stand, the jud ge’s stand and the stable
were saved.
The fire was discovered at 12:15 this
morning by Charles Nolan the keeper
of the grounds who occupies the cottage
adjacent to the main exhibition build-
ing. Mr. Nolan was} aroused by the
sound of an explosion and soon after-
wards the main building was a mass of
flames. The structure which was of
wood was 150 feet long 80 feet wide and
g ith its arched roof was 50 feet high in
the center. The building proved a
veritable tinder box and the high wind
that prevailed swept the flames to the
poultry exhibit building, the floral
hall, the new bench show building and
agricultural hall which were wholly
destroyed.
The grounds are located about two
and a half miles from the city and no
alarm was sent in for the fire depart-
ment, but the people living in the vi-
cinity turned out in force and by means
of a bucket brigade extinguished the
fire started by flying embers lodging
on the grand stand or stables. The
surrounding Country was illumined
for miles and it was possible to read a
newspaper on the streets of Danbury
while the fire was at its height. Here
in Norwalk the blaze was plainly seen.
A VVilliamsburg, N. Y.
reads as follows:
John Bender, twenty-five y ears old,
of N orwalk, was held for trial by J us
ticc Kramer in the Lee Avenue Police]
Court, Williamsburg, today on a
charge of stealing a horse and. buggy
from James H. Magner, of 12 Cross
street, Norwalk.
At 8 o’clock yesterday morning Ben-
der hired the rig and said that he
would take a ride to Stamford, a. dis-
tance of about nine miles. When he
reached Stamford, it is alleged that he
telegraphed to a. friend in Williams-
burg, saying that he had a horse and
wagon he wanted to sell.
Magner was notified of this fact and
Bender was arrested in Williamsburg.
He refused to talk. The rig was con-
fiscatel.
The true story of the trouble is, if it
may be called trouble, is that Bender
hired a horse and carriage of Magner
to drive to Stamford.
In some way Mr. Magner heard that
Bender had driven the horse to Port
Chester, and from thence to Williams-
burg.
Magncr went to Port Chester and
from thence traced the man to VVil-
liamsburg, where in? company with a
detective he visited a stable and con-
fronted Bender who weaken’ed at the
sight of the man from whom he had
hired the horse and made all manner
of excuses, in which he unhappily
criminated himself.
dispatch
Bender was placed under arrest and
of $1,000 were called for in default of
which he was locked up and will be
given a hearing to-morrow morning.
Bender is employed as a bar-tender
at the hotel corner of Haviland and
Water street in South N orwalk, con-
ducted by Mrs. Sarah Larrigan. -
Magner returned to N orwalk last
night. Soon after his arrival Mrs. Lar-
rigan called upon him and asked as to
why he had not consulted her before
setting chase after Bender.
She was inclined to adjust the matter
to the extent of paying all expenses in--
curred by Mr. Magner provided he
would not prosecute.
The affair is in the hands of the New
York state authorities, but it is be-
lieved that Mr. Magner will not insist
on the extradition of the thief and that
Bender will escape with a fine and
costs.

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE THE SUBJECT
OF A PAPAL EXUOMMUNICATIONu .
Dne Form Designated as By Bell, Book
and Candle, a Solumn and Awful Rite
to Those “’llo \Vere Under Ecclesiasti-
cal Displeasure.
The formal excommunication by thI
Pope of the Count of. Turin and 01
Prince Henri of Orleans, because 01
;heir participation in the recent duel,
which has challenged the attention of
:he civilized world, renews interest in
)ne of the great powers claimed for
:he Papal see.
In its broadest sense ex-communi-,
:atio-n is an ecclesiastical censure by
which a Christian is separated from
:he communion of the church. Cath-
)llC authorities hold that it is a pow-
3r included in the power of the keys,
>r of binding and loosening, given by
3hrist to Peter and the Apostles.
There are two forms of excommuni-
:ation recognized by the church, the
major and the minor.’ The minor is
in ecclesiastical censure by which the
Shristian is deprived of the right to
participate in the sacraments. Tnis
's a religious discipline inflicted for
'elatively small faults.
In former times the victim of a ma-
ior excommunication was a pariah, an
)utcast, from whose presence the
faithful fled, shuddering. The sen-
:ence was pronounced upon him with
:he most solemn and awful accom-
paniments. The Church was clothed in
clack, the priests donned their most
sombre habits. The organ was si-
lenced. All the assistants held light-
ed candles in their hands. The offi-
3iating clergymen solemnly read from
I book the curses which were to fol-
ow the offender, sleeping, walking or
lying. When he was through a. bell
ran-g. The assistants reversed their
:andles and crushed the light out un-
ler foot, a terrible symbol of the fact
:hat the spiritual light had been ex-
;inguished in the soul of the con-
lemned one.
Hence the excommunication is still
)opularly known as excommunication
3y bell, book and candle.
If the victim were a sovereign and
~efused to make submission, the
Pope released his subjects from their
rows of allegiance, but made them in
;0 for responsible for the acts of their
-uler that services of all sorts were
suspended throughout the whole coun-
:ry. No priest could say mass or cel-
ebrate a marriage, or hear confessions
)r grant absolutions, or give the sac-
raments even to the new born or the
lying. .
If the sovereign flnally repented,
his reception back into the fold was
equally solemn. The Bishop, accom-
panied by twelve priests in surplices,
met him at the door of the church
There the Bishop questioned the peni-
:ent whether he was truly contrite.
Satisfied of this he and the assistant
priests recited the (seven penitential
psalms, interrupting themselves from
:ime to time to flog the victim with a.
whip or a staff. Then the formula of
Ibsolution was pronounced and more
prayers were said, at the end of which
:he penitent was readmitted into the
:ommunion of the faithful.
The excommunication of Robert 11.,
King of France, is perhaps the most
famous instance of a Wholesale excom-
nunication of this sort. It was pro-
nounced by a. Roman council because
)f his-marriage to his fourth cousin.
Sardinal Saint-Pierre Damien, his con-
:emporary, in a letter written to the
Abbe du Mont-casein, reports that
‘the terror felt by the people at this
Iacerdotal edict is so great that every-
)ody has fled from the presence of the
King, and only two little slaves re-
main in the palace to care for him.
Even these look upon the vessels from
which he drinks or eats as having been
:ontaminated by his touch and they
:hrow them at once into the fire."
Robert, a man of a gentle and pic-us
:haracter, eventually yielded to the
Pope's demands.
Many sovereigns have suffered from
;he Papal interdict with less and less
lnconvenience to themselves as the
zenturies succeeded one another. Na-
poleon I. was naturally singled out at
:he time of his divorce and remarriage,
when he not only defied Papal author-
Ity, but imprisoned His Holiness. The
excommunication, however, did not af-
fect him very grievously. He found
luite enough complaisant clergy of his
)wn creation not merely to perform
:he marriage ceremony in defiance of
:he Pope, but also to administerthe sac-
-aments to himself and to his subjects.
\Iapoleon III. was also excommunicated ‘
It one time for having connived at the
nvasion of the States of the church.
Victor Emmanuel, as the active agent
11 the final invasion, was of course
under the ban of the Church until his
very deathbed, and King Humbert has
succeeded to his father’s ecclesiastical
:ondition.
. The attitude of the Church toward
luelling, is an uncompromising one.
It is true that in early ages it was
:he custom to permit the accuser and
iccused to settle their dispute by duel,
ind this mode of decision was looked
lpOll by the civil law as an appeal to
:he judgment of God.
Nevertheless, despite the example of
Individual churchmen, there had grad-
J-ally been growing up in the Church a
sentiment against this form of appeal

HE HAD HIS PREFERANCE.
The Horse Took a Fancy to All the Boys
“110 “’ore Badges.
“One reads so many stories about
animal intelligence that it would be
hazardous for a doubter to express his
disbelief in almost any gathering of
men at the present day,” remarked a
gentleman the other day. “A little in-
stance came within my own observa-
tion a number of years ago when I
was studying medicine,
convinced me that the members of the
horse family, at least, ought to be
credited with the possession of a very
considerable quantity of reasoning
power.
students at the medical institution at
which I pursued my studies to wear
a small badge upon their coats to dis-
tinguish them from others at the col-
lege. A horse belonging to the estab-
lishment was useda great deal about
the medical department, and the ani-
mal seemed to have a special prefer-
ence for the embryo doctors more
than for any other people about the
establishment. One day. while a
number of us were gathered in a little
knot upon a small campus in the rear
of the college, the animal in {question
which used to nip the grass in the lo-
cation, came toward the group limp-
ing very badly. He came to a stop a
dozen or more feet from the crowd,
and carefully surveying the lot of us,
finally made up his mind as to what
he wanted to do, and without any
hesitation limped directly to my side,
whinn-ied. stuck his nose against my
body and held up his left foreleg.
Looking down .I discovered a large
nail imbedded in the frog of his hoof.
This had evidently caused the lame-
ness. I then realized the interesting
fact that the animal desired attend-
ance. I extracted the nail with some
difficulty, and the horse whimpered
with relief and walked away. Rather
curious as to why the beast had
picked me out to' attend to his wofind,
I glanced at the boys and found the
solution to the problem. Not one of
the group had his medical badge upon
his coat but myself. The horse had
recognized the insignia, realized its
significance and acted accordingly.”-

SOLD AT CHURCH.
l‘lmes When Slaves hIarketed Melons on
Sundny,Wlxich '11le Bad Raised.
“A man would hardly imagine that
negroes used to crowd around the
front of that elegant church and sell
watermelons on Sunday," said a man
of Macon, Ga. He referred to Mul-
berry Street Methodist Church, one of
the finest church buildings in that
city. “But is a fact,” continued the
gentleman. “I can remember those
scenes as well as if they were yester-
day.
“It was before the war, when all
the slave owners allowed their indus-
trious slaves an acre or so of land on
which to misc watermelons or any-
thing they chose. The negroes were
given every Saturday afternoon to
tend to their patches, and on Sunday
were allowed to hitch a mule to a
wagon and take their melons and oth-
er produce around 'to churches, camp
meetings or elsewhere to sell them. It
was a very common thing to see a
man stop at a. negro’s watermelon
pile and select a. melon, pay for and
put it in his buggy and drive on home
after church; and, indeed, children
frequently clubbed in and bought mel-
ons from the slaves and ate them dur-
ing the time between Sunday school
and preaching.”
In those days masters took great in-
terest in the industry and enterprise
of their slaves, and did everything
they could to encourage them. No-
