She Used Arsenic.
Some ten days ago Edwin Hoyt, the
engaged a servant girl at a New York
employment agency. The girl ap-
morning when her actions clearly indi-
cated that she was insane.
The family, consisting of Mr. and
Mrs. Edwin Hoyt, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen
det, their 22 months-01d baby and
Miss Fanny Hoyt, were sitting at the
breakfast table eating oat meal when
suddenly the baby was taken with a
violent spell of vomiting.
The baby’s sudden illness was attrib-
uted to indigestion, and when Mrs.
Edwin Hoyt next became ill nothing
was. suspected as she had been up the
who had died.
Almost immediately after Mrs. Hoyt
was taken the other members of the
family became ill, and then ' it was °sus-
pected that they had been poisoned.
The girl, who was only known by the
name of Hannah, was called into the
room and questioned as to what she
had put into the oat meal.
She at first denied that she had put
anything into the meal, but finally
admitted that she had been unable to
find salt in the usual place and had
used salt out of a package instead,
which- she found in the closet. This
he family knew to be untrue.
Dr. Dexter Hitchcock of this city and
Dr. Roberts of New Canaan were hasti-
ly summoned and were soon at the
Nursery. An examination of the oat
meal by Dr. Roberts disclosed the fact
that arsenic had been used.
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Hoyt and Ste-
phen Hoyt and the baby although quite
sick recovered from the effects of the
poison during the afternoon, but Mrs.
Stephen Hoyt and Miss 'Fanny, were
very sick all day and quite seriously so
last night. This morning, however,
ger, although still very weak.
It is not understood where the girl
got the arsenic as there was no poison
of any description in the house, and it
is the'opinion of the family that she
brought it with her.
As the family had had no words with
the girl, and she had no motive for her
actions it was at once thought, that she
was crazy.
This belief was further confirmed
when the girl attempted to induce the
nurse girl to hurry up and eat her cat
meal, and telling her that she would
poison herself, too, before the day was
over. ,,
It was thought ‘best to get rid of her
immediately, and one of the hired men
drove her to New Canaan, in time to
family to have her arrested.
As she will probably return to the
intelligence ofilce where Mr. Hoyt se-
cured her, he will at once write to the
firm and notify them of her attempt to
poison his family.
It was a narrow escape‘for the mem-
bers of the family, and coming so soon
after the attempted murder of the Dix-
on family in Stamford by an insane ser-
vant girl,it has created considerable ex-
citement in the usually quiet town of
New Canaan.

Caught at Last.
The following from last , night’s
Bridgeport Standard will be a surprise
to N orwalk and New Canaan people:
“C. Ford Seeley, whose disappear- '
ance from Stamford, where he left un-
paid bills amounting to about $7,000,
created a surprise in this city and Hart-
ford, as well as in Stamford, has been
served with a notice requiring him to
appear in court and show cause why
several diamond rings and other ar-
ticles of jewelry in his possession
should notrbe converted’for the benefit
of his Creditors. The papers were
served on Seeley Monday night by
Sheriff Bolster of Stamford, and also at
the residence of Mr. Edwin S. Rapello
of Black Rock. ‘
“Seeley was the guest oer. Rape-110,
whom he met in New York, for some
weeks. Nothing was known in Black
Rock of his business trouble, and it
(was not known in Stamford where he-
was until Monday, although his credix
tors had employed all available means
of locating him. . ‘ ‘
“The people of Stamford first knew
Seeley about 18 months ago, when he
opened a bicycle store in that city.
He did a paying business, but devoted
the profits to his own personal uses,
instead of applying them to the ex-
tension of the business or the payment
of his debts. He continued this policy
until he became hopelessly involved,
and then took French leave. It was
announced soon after his departure
that he had gone to Europe, and for a
time the search for him was aban-
doned. Later the creditors were in-
formed that he had been seen in New
York, and the sheriffs were instructed
to maintain the lookout.
“The interested parties will not di-
vulge the source of the information
which led to the discovery of Seeley’s
whereabouts. He was found to have an
unquestioned standing with Black Rock
people whom he met. He was con-
spicuous by reason of his wearing rings
set with diamonds of considerable value.
Whether these are his property or not
will be determined by-the court, and if
he is found to have a clear title to them
he will be obliged to turn them over to
his creditors.
Among wheelmcn in this city Seeley
was well kDOWn. He came here from
, Hartford to conduct the bicycle depart-
ment of the Howland Dry Goods com- 6
pany’s store when that firm took the
local agency for the Columbia bicycle.
He was quite prominent socially and 1
made many friends here.”

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,'and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the on] y positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being, a
constitutional disease, requires a cen-
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct-
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assist-ing nature in do-
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. - Send for list;

' Bohme Victimized.
On Thursday last a young South Nor-
walk school boy named Leo Mulvihill
called at the office of Broker A. E.
Bohme in the Masonic building and
handed him a note.
Upon tearing open the envelope Mr.
Bohme found a sweetly scented note
written in a woman’s hand and signed
Mary A. Belden. In it was a certified
check for $72.20 on the First National
Bank of Yonkers, and the request that
Mr. Bohme invest $60 in wheat and re-
turn her the 812.50. ..
As the woman was said to reside on
High street South N orwalk, Mr. Boh me
without hesitation 'sent her the $12.50
since which time she has failed to ap-
pear. The check, however, was re-
turned and the certification pronounced
a forgery. '
After the
woman went- to Bridgeport where it is
said she entered a broker’s office and
made an investment. Here she also
paid with a check and succeeded in
obtaining $50, in good money as a
balance to her credit between the
amount of the deal and the check. She
gave her name in Bridgeport as Mary
A. Dudley. '
After operating in Bridgeport the
woman went to New Haven where she
attempted to close another deal on mar—
gin, but by this time it had been learn-
ed that her checks were valueless and
the New Haven operators had been
warned to be on the lookout for her,
her transact-ion here
consequently she met with no success
in the Elm City.
Who the Bridgeport and New Haven
brokers are that were victimized could
not be learned, as all who were ap-
proached denied any knowledge of the
woman. But the denial was not strange
for the brokers had the best of reasons
for keeping the affair quiet. But- in
some way the story leaked out.

Paper Mill Burned.
VVestport was the scene last night of
what threatened to be a conflagration.
The fire department was called out
in answer to a fire alarm. It was feund
that the fire was in the building occu-
pied by the Westport Paper Company’s
storehouse close to the Hill 8; Hubbell
lumber yard on Riverside avenue.
The fire originated in the upper
story of the building, 'and quite a large
quantity of hemp was burned up.
The damage will probably not be in
excess of $1,000, owing to active work
on the part of the fire department with
. fChief Jones at the head.

. Higher Prices or Tobacco.
Connecticut valley tobacco growers
,will z-rficeive higher prices for their
. cropsthis season than were paidia year ,
ago.
The increase in price is due to a
short'crop, which was ‘caused by an
over—abundance of rain during July and
August. - Buyers, are; present In the :
valley in considerable numbers and
% about a third-cf thd-tirpp has been sold
at prices ranging from 12 to 23 cents a
pound in the bundle. The average
price is about 5 cents higher than last
ear.
Suflield has a larger tobacco acreage
from 1.200 to 1,400 acres being planted
in the town.
A smaller proportion of the crop than
usual will be available for wrappers.
Ordinarily 60 or_65 per cent. sometimes
.as high as 80 per cent. but this year not
more than 33 per cent. of the crop is
available “for this purpose.
Possibly This Year.
A member of the board of selectmen
informs a GAZETTE reporter that in all
probability the stone arch on the Wall
street bridge annex will beconstructed
this year. He, however, makes the
wise proviso “if the proper bondsman
is forthcoming.” This to the end that
the work will be completed in a satis-
factory manner. '

A Little ‘Talo from an English'jl'apor'ol ‘
. Our Registrar of the Truasury.
A gullible'English newspaper tells
its readers that Mr. Tillman, the Re;-
istrar of the United States--il‘reasury,
uses dollar bills bearing his signature
instead of visiting cards. “He began
the practice,” it says, “one evening
when he called on some friends and
found that his cardcase was empty.
Then a happy thought came, and, tak-
ing out a. new dollar'bill, he put it on
the salver and pointed out to the ser-
vant that his name was engraved in
the lower left-hand corner. In a min-
ute or two he returned and asked Mr.
Tillman to go into the drawing room,
Since that time he has always used
the dollar bill. As visiting cards in
America cost about four shillings a
uneconomical one, but economy, it
need hardly be added, had nothing to
do with this idea of the discarding of
the visiting card." '
RIGHT OF WAY IN PARIS OF BICYCLES-
All Have the Right of Precedent Over
Padestrains. '
A Paris letter in The Chicago-Rec-
ord says that in London, Berlin, Vien-
na and other large cities of Europe,
as in America, policemen are station-
ed in the crowded thoroughfares and
at the street corners to regulate traf-
flc, but in Paris everybody drives. to
suit himself, and vethIes have the
right of way over pedestrians. If a
Paris hackman sees a woman trying
to cross the street he always whips up
his horse and drives for her. Appar-
ently he considers it great fun to see
her jump. The police never interfere,
and when there is an accident they
usually arrest the person Who was
run over for obstructing traffic and
let the hackman go.
The police have just revised the reg-
ulations concerning bicycles, which
gives them the right of way over all
other vehicles and pedestrians.
RAVISHING KLONDIKE‘WHOLESALE.
A Dredge to Take Gold from the Hills and
\Vater Courses of Alaska.
A stupendous scheme has been
started for the wholesale ravishing of
ing themselves of umbrellas, over-
water courses of Alaska' and t'he
Northwest Territory. Acompany is -
build-ing one of the great earth and
that convert
tidelands into blocks of redeemed
building lots, which are familiar. on
the Pacific slope. An exceptional
feature in the proposed dredger will
be its power for self-propulsion and
its extremely light draught. The
power will be supplied to a stern
wheel, as in light-draught river
steamers. The dredger will be built
at the mouth of the Yukon, whence
she will start on her tour ‘of investi-'
gation up the river, putting her long
black beak into the sand and gravel
of the bottom and doing a great deal
of prospecting in very short order.
When a. rich streak is found, she will
churn away with her centrifugal
pumps and toss up the gravel and
nuggets as well as dust and mud by
the bushel. The enormous possibili-
ties of the enterprise are seen when it
that region is 2,000_'pounds per "man,
and the new ‘machine' is expected to
do from four tofl've hundred times as
much work as one man daily.—St.
