Between 1 and 2 o’clock Sunday morn- ing, Mrs. W. E. James was awakened by footsteps on the roof of the veranda at her home on East avenue. , Thinking that burglars were about she aroused her husband who proceed- ed to investigate. The intruders foot- steps wcre later heard in the kitchen, and Mr. James went up the rear stairs hoping to catch the man,but he ran out of the house and made good his escape. He gained an entrance to the build- ing by climbing up one of the veranda pillars, and finding a window that was unfastened his course would have been clear if he had not been detected walk- ing about ‘)11 the roof by Mrs. James. He did not succeed in securing any booty, neither did he permit of the recognition of himself other than by the silhonette picture he presented to the vision of his pursuer as he dashed out of reach. The 'figurehead of Admiral Farra- gut’s flagship Hartford, which was pre- sented to the city of Hartford by Com- modore Hichborn, chief constructor of the United States navy, through Sena- tor Joseph R. Hawley, was placed in the state capitol yesterday afternoon. Hartford celebrated the acquirement of the relic by the observance of “Far- ragut day.” There was a military dis- play, the parade being divided into three divisions. The figurehead was carried on a handsomely decorated float drawn by six horses .and guarded by six sailors under command of' Capt. Boyle. who saw service on the decks of the old flagship. Following the parade came the liter- ary exercises in front of the capitol. Gen. Franklin was chair man of the day and Capt. Casper of the Goodrich, Uni- ted States navy, presented the figure to the city, the gift being accepted by Mayor Preston. The oration was de- livered by Senator Hawley, who re- viewed the life of Farragut and the record of the ship. John Hepburn of No. 36 Washington 8 treet, South Norwalk, met with an ac- cident at Westport Monday afternoon, that remarkably enough did not cost him his life, ‘ . , He was engaged in company with Clarence Mead in stringing a Wire for a private electric system. H e was at the top of a pole on the bridge at Westport, and in an unlucky moment caught hold of a live feed wire on the Electric car line, and was un- able to release his hold. The wire burned into the flesh on his hand and he howled in agony, but managed to retain his hold on the pole with the other hand and the spurs on his feet used in-climbing the pole. An alarm was given and the electric current was shut‘off, and the man fell. At this point there are a number of rocks in the water and those who saw him fall expected to find him dashed to death. , ' In his downward flight one of the spurs which he wore struck the pole causing him to be thrown outward, to the extent that instead of striking on the rocks he was hurled into the water, from which he was rescued. He was taken to the office of Dr. Day who found that the poor fellow’s hand had been almost honeycombed by the electric fluid. The wOund was dressed and Hepburn was soon-after enabled to ' go home, where he received further at- tention from Dr. Bean. He left this mornin for the scene of his accident with a fu l appreciation of the fact of his narrow escape from be- ing killed. ‘ George Barnes this morning swore out a complaint against John Wilson, perhaps better known as “Tug,” in which he alleges that said Wilson feloneously steal and appropriate .10; his own use four dozen crabs from the complainant. Chief Bradley served the papers on the accused and placing him under ar- rest escorted him to one of the new cages at the police station. Wilson will appear in the town court to-day, at which time he will be given an opportunity to present his defence. Both men are well known one to the other, and are engaged in like busi- ness, that of hunting in the waters of the Sound. The outcome of the affair will be watched for with interest by their brother fishermen. A dispatch from Elizabeth, N. J. savs: Michael Sullivan, who says his home is in Norwalk, Conn., was about to cross the bridge over Morse Creek, on South Front street. at 10 o’clock Sun- day night, when he was confronted by two men, one large and burly, the other short and stocky. The big one demand- ed his money. Sullivan said he had none and started to walk on. when the smaller man seized him and threw him to the ground. A desperate struggle ensued and ended only when Sullivan was completely exhausted. Then the taller of the highwaymen searched Sullivan’s pockets and got a small amount of money. When the search was completed the highwaymen told Sullivan thlt they in tended to drown him. They dragged him to the centre of the bridge and threw him into the river. Sullivan was too weak to offer any resistance and thought his end had come. The plunge into the cold water revived him, however, and hebegan to cry for as- sistance. One of the highwaymen threw a big stone at him, but missed. Sullivan could not swim, but succeeded in keeping afloat until help came. Henry Mooney, a smelter employed at the Mountain Copper Works, a hun- dred yards away, happened to be on his way home from work and heard Sullivan’s cry. He ran to the creek and plunged in to the rescue. After he had reached Sullivan and had start- I ed to swim ashore with the half drown- ed man Mooney was stricken with a cramp. He called to some fellow work- men who were at the office of the cop- per works, and they ran to the river and succeeded in rescuing Mooney and Sullivan. Both men were taken to the General Hospital. Mooney revived quickly, but Sullivan is still confined to the institution, although he is said to be out of danger. As there are four Michael Sullivans in Norwalk, it is not learned which Of them is above referred to. One of the boldest attempts at rob- bery in this section for a long time was the one at the residence of Richard Parmelee on Riverside avenue, East N orwalk, on Saturday afternoon last. Both Mr. and Mrs. Parmelee were home at the time. The former was asleep in a room 011 the first floor and the latter was taking a foot bath in a room on the second floor. The doors leading into the house were notlocked. It is not known just how the thief en- tered the house but it was presumably through one of the doors. He is thought to have been a tramp and mayhap politely knocked at the door, and receiving no answer walked in and proceeded to investigate, his in- vestigations leading him up a flight of stairs, and as after events proved, for plunder. He visited one room on the upper floor where he secured six silver spoons and a pair Of sugar tongs, valued as heirlooms. He then opened the door of an adjoining room in search of more booty and there was where he found that he had made a mistake. In this room was Mrs. Parmelee who was taking a foot-bath. She was equal- ly as surprised as was the thief, but be- ing of a brave disposition jumped up and asked the intruder what he wanted. The man did not reply but dashed out of the room and down the stairs with Mrs. Parmelee in close pursuit. The man ran into the conservatory and closing the door held his pursuer in abeyance. Mrs. Parmelee nothing daunted ran outside, barefOoted as she was, hoping to head the fellow off if he attempted to escape, but only in time to see him jump out of a window and run away. She then returned to the house and was glad to find that there was only the above mentioned goods missing. There were other valuables in the house which were no doubt saved by Mrs.Parmelee’s prompt and courageous action. ' The man had been seen about East Norwalk in the morning and is de- scribed as being short in statue,rather stout, with reddish mustache and a perhaps week’s growth of whiskers, and was shabbily dressed. The robbery occurred about 2 o’clock in the afternoon, but for some reason or other the police we"e not advised of the fact until about 6 o’clock, and the apprehension of the fellow could hard- ly be expected. The 65-foot schooner Belle, owned by Edward Coles, a wholesale New York druggist, was sunk in the sound off Norwalk last Monday night: On board were Captain Fred Still- man, Mate N. Martinson and John Damers, a ship and yacht broker, who barely escaped with their lives. A member of the party gave the fol- lowing story of the accident to a GA- ZETTE reporter this morning: “We started out of New York late yesterday afternoon for Huntington, L. I. There was a high wind and night enclosed us with a dense darkness. “We close reefed the sails and as the sea was rough, a heavy northwest gale prevailing, we decided to keep in. the Sound and make Bridgeport harbor. “The boat was going alon all right on the starboard tack when suddenly we struck something on the port bow and the boat cOmmenced to fill with water, and at the same time listed. “An attempt was made to right her by cutting away the foremast and rig- ging, and an endeavor to locate the leak was made, but the craft filled so rapidly we could do nothing but lower one of the gigs from the davits and boarding it, rowed away to prevent ourselves being drawn down with the yacht which sank in less than ten min— utes after being'struck. "There was a high sea and the gig ‘ filled with water which two of us bailed out while the other with the oars tried to keep the boat head on against the sea. - didJ l , “We finally made Smith’s Island light, and rowed up the harbor to where our gig now is near the bridge. “The accident occurred about 11 o’clock and it was 30’clock when we made a landing. “The boat was about 26 tons burden and carried about 20 tons of ballast.” The three men were sorry looking mariners when they reached the street, drenched and chilled through. They were directed to the “all night” lunch car on Washington street where the proprietor provided them with hot cof- fee, &c. Mr. Damers is confident that the yacht, as near as he could get his bearings, sank in the Sound midway be- tween Huntington and Sheffield Island. He was 'in the cabin at the time the craft sunk. - Local mariners are of the opinion that the captain, in the darkness, lost his bearings and that the craft ran on to what is known as Green’s ledge. The boat, it is claimed, was valued at about $3.000 and was a pleasure craft. All the parties concerned claim that they did not desert her until all efforts to save the craft were seemingly useless. The party will leave for New York to-day, they having previously ad- vised the owner of the yacht of its loss. They got the possible bearings as to where the boat sunk, and there is a possibility that it may be raised, if it can be located. The annual meeting of the Board of School Visitors was held last evening, the full board being present The first business was the reorganiza- tion of the board. The balloting for officers resulted in the selection of the following gentlemen: Bradley S. Keith, President. Charles Olmstead, Secretary. Frederick Mead, Auditor. John H. Light, Abiathar Blanchard and Charles Olmstead, Acting school visitors. Marshall H. Tolles, Superintendent Evening Schools. Three ballots were taken before Mr. Olmstead was selected as secretary,and were as follows: First ballot: A. Blanchard, Charles Olmstead, J. H. Light. Frederick Mead. Second ballot: A. Blanchard, Charles Olmstead, Scattering, Third ballot: Charles Olmstead, ‘ i A. Blanchard, 4 It was unanimously voted to request the selectmen to pay to the widow of the late Rev. H. N. Dunning, a former secretary and acting visitor on the board, the sum of $100 as compensation for his duties in such offices. The acting school visitors were in- structed to arrange the terms for the present school year. Rev. R. O. Sherwood, president of the Christian Endeavor Union, made a re- quest that the schools be closed on the afternoon of Nov. 3d, as many of the pupils were to take part in the big Christian Endeavor convention, to be held at the Armory on that date. The request was granted. Silas A. Carpenter of the Middle Five Mile River district, was granted the privilege of sending his child to the South Five Mile River school, as he lived nearer to the latter school. John P. Treadwell was granted per- mission to send his son to the Center school, instead of as now at the North Center. Morgan F. Rulan of the North Cen- ter district, was granted permission to send his daughter, Ethel, aged 16, to the Center school. Cyrus Waterbury of the same district was allowed to send his boy Willie, aged 17, to the same school. Jonh F. Alger of Broad River dis- trict asked for permission to send his daughter Ella, aged 12, to the Center school. The matter was referred to the school committeemen of the former district with power. \ 9-. Into»; Hh—IL'QOJ r l The. adjourned town meeting on Sat- urday afternoon defeated the project to build a new town house on the Marvin lot on West avenue, by an almost unan- imous vote. The Selectmen, however, were authorized to expend $1,000 in fixing up the - present dilapidated structure. The time set for the meeting was 2:30 o’clock, but long before that hour the voters began to assemble until when Chairman John H. Ferris called the meeting to order the interior was packed. TOWn Clerk Herbert R. Smith read the previous call for the meeting, and the matter of the new town house was at once taken up. J. Arthur Osborn, secretary of the committee appOintcd by the former meeting to investigate the matter, was recognized and presented the following report: ‘ Norwalk, Conn., Oct. 16th, 1897. The undersigned, members of your committee, appointed at the town meet- ing held on Sept. 16th, “to investigate the matter of the proposed location for "a Town Hall and the approximate ex- pense of building the same, and report at a meeting to be held Oct. 16th, at 2.30 p. m., ” would respectfully report, That they have given careful thought and attention to the subject presented for their consideration and with a view to a measure that will best aid the consolidation of the interests of the entire town, and bring about a unanimity of feeling and effort for the future, would recommend, That the Town Hall be located geo- graphically between the two cities,and that we designate and recommend the Marvin lot, so called, on West avenue, as a proper site for the Town Hall. . That an appropriation of not to ex- ceed $50000, be made to cover the total expense of the Town Hall and site,and, that if such an appropriation be made that 30 year bonds at the rate of 4 per cent be issued in payment of the same. EPHRAIM THOMES, JOHN H. FERRIS, E. A. WOODWARD, W. S. HANFORD, J. T. PROWITT, JOHN A. OSBORN. At the close Mr. Osborn moved that the report be received and the commit- tee discharged. Robert Pearson moved an amendment, that the report be re- ceived and the» recommendation of the committee be adopted, which motion was seconded by Attorney George A. Honnecker. . Gen. Russell Frost was recognized and suggested that no vote be taken until every one understood what they were voting upon. The General then painly and fairly explained the ques- ltion as it stood under Mr. Pearson’ motion. - Attorney John J. Walsh rose to the int of order that the question was not before the house as moved by Mr. Pearson, and upon being sustained by the chair Mr. Pearson withdrew his amendment and Mr. Osborn’s motion was carried. - Mr. Walsh being again recognized inquired if there was not a minority re- port? The chair answered in the affirm- ative, and Clerk Smith read the fol- lowing minority report: ' The undersigned, of your committee, regret that they cannot join with the majority in their report. Cons1deration for the convenience of the greatest number of the citizens of the town shows that the location of the present Town House would better ac- commodate East N orwalk, with its 3,100 inhabitants, Center school dis- trict, 2,600; North Center district,1.100: Cranbury Plains, 350; Broad River and Silvermine, 650; and that portion of the Over River school district that lies near the bridge, and north of the Meth- odist church, at least one-third of the district, 1.200; Low er Five Mile River, 825 and West N orwalk, 350, a total of 10,125, and equally well all who take the West avenue cars from VVinnipauk, and such of those as would take the cars from South N orwalk to either place. The West avenue site would better accommodate that part of South. Nor- walk so near that they would not take the trolley, say one-half, 3,000; two- thirds of the Over River district, 2,400: Middle Five Mile River, 450, a total of 7,800, and equally well those who would take the cars from Winnipauk, Center and Over River districts and that part of South N orwalk that would take the West avenue line which passes both si es There is south of the proposed West avenue site about nine (9) square miles of territory, and north of it about sev- enteen (17) square miles. ‘ From the proposed West avenue site to the southern part of Five Mile River is about three (3) miles in a direct line, and to he northerly part of the town is four and one-half (4%) miles. Convenience Of the greatest number and central location both point to. the ,present site as the more favorable. The majority report seems based up- on considerations of policy too uncer- tain for us to endorse; to wit, possible future conSOlidation. If consolidation of the entire town in one municipal government was to be a fixed fact, there would be some excuse and justification for the sacrifice. Should consolidation fail, and there be a division of the towu, the money expended for the municipal building on the Marvin lot, would be wasted as neither part of the town would want a municipal building there, and it would be practically worthless for other pur- poses. We cannot advise the town to enter into so uncertain a speculation at so large a cost as $50,000, and a possible giving up Of the site, $10,000 more; we would therefore advise that until the question of consolidation be settled, no step be taken looking to the building of a town house. Respectfully submitted, F. H. MERRILL, SAMUEL LYNES, ISAAC SELLECK. At the conclusion of the reading At- torne y Walsh moved to receive the re- port, and as soon as that was done moved to substitute the minority for the majority report and that the same be adopted by the meeting. E. A. Woodward was recognized and said hé was in favor of consolidation from the bottom of his heart, but that he feared the minority report meant- a division of the town. Isaac Selleck in- quired as to where the center of the town was located and receiving no re- ply, said it was on the present site and sat down. After a few drops of oil had been poured upon the feelings of those in favor of the Marvin lot by Attorney J. Belden Hurlbutt, the motion of Attor— ney Walsh was passed with but a few dissenting voices. Mr. Hurlbutt, by request, then intro- duced a resolution authorizing the Se- lectmen to expend $1,000 in renovating the present building.‘ Gen. Frost thought that under the call the meeting could not appropriate any money, but the chair explained that it was not an appropriation but an authorization. Dr. J. G. Gregory Called attention to he fact that at a former meeting the Selectmen had been authorized to re- pair the building and had not done so. A motion to adjourn followed. and the meeting was at an end. —-——‘-o- EAST NORWALK. Elmer Nash is movhig from Brush street, N orwalk, to the Chapman place in Van Zandt avenue.

The inter- view was as follows: “Do you think-Henry George will be elected Mayor of Greater New York?” “I think he has a splendid chance of being the next Mayor of New York. He is well known to the people of New York city. The masses believe in him and will support him at the polls. I do not think national issues will out much figure in the New York election. The fight is on local issues . Personally Mr. George is a magnetic man and has fine executive ability. He will make an ex- cellent Mayor and will inaugurate many reforms in New York city.” SEIZED A SCHOONER.. Treasury Department Holds Her at Norfolk on Suspicion. Norfolk, Va., Oct. 19.——The three- masted schooner Donna. T. Briggs, Capt. Gurney, arrived here yesterday morning from the Delaware Break- water and was boarded by an officer from the Custom House, who, acting under orders from Secretary Gage, of the Treasury Department, took pos- session of the vessel. She is tied up here now with a customs official aboard awaiting further action on the part of the Washington authorities. The schooner ls suspected of carrying a cargo of ammunition to the Cuban insurgents from Punta. Gorda, Fla, some time ago. She was searched at Lewes, Del, and again here, but noth— ing was found to convict her of fili- bustering. She is here ostensibly to load with oyster shells for Buzzard’s Bay. Capt. Gurney is indignant over the detention of his vessel, and threat- ens to proceed against the Government for damages. He and his crew are at liberty. - How Rich Was Killed. Pittsburg, Oct. 20.—-The coroner‘s jury in the case of Benjamin Rich, halfback of the Tyrone football team, killed in a. game on Saturday, has de- cided that death was caused by inter- nal hemorrhages of the brain, super- induced by over-exertion and a fall while tackling J. H. Miller and strik- ing his head on the ground or a stone. Six players on both teams gave prac- tically the same testimony that Rich had tackled Miller, and that both had fallen together, Rich’underneath.‘ The game was free from slugging. SUPREME COURT DECISION. i The Government Recovers 700,00! Acres of Land. Washington. Oct. l9.—The long-pend- ing controversy between the 'United States and the Southern Pacific Rall- way Company over 700,000 acres in land in Southern California was decided yes- terday in the Supreme Court in favor of the United States, Mr. Justice Har- lan announcing the opinion. The land was embraced in the grant made to the Atlantic & Pacific Railway Company and identified by its map of definite lo- cation, flled and accepted by the Inte- rior Department in 1872. The land was also included within the limits of the” grant made to the Southern Pacific Company, the two roads overlapping at that point. The Southern Pacific Com- pany claimed that the maps filed by the Atlantic & Pacific Company, were maps of general route, not of definite loca- tion; therefore that the forfeiture act of 1886 did not reach, and that they be- came embraced within the Southern Pacific grant by the failure of the At- lantic & Pacific to perfect its title by building the road. All these conten- ' tions, Justice Harlan said, had been adw judicated and settled in favor of the government by previous litigation be- tween the parties, and the title of the government to the land was broadly sustained. As to the lands of the 280 individual defendants who had pur- chased in good faith from the railway company of lands already patented “by the Interior Department, the Supreme Court gave the United States the right to go into the court below and prose- cute its claims to a final decree.
