STOLE [+15 FANNIE.
The Thief Captured at Port
Jefferson Long
Island.
Denies Having Attempted to Steal the
Craft.
Yesterday morning Capt. Garrett
Decker reported to the police that his
24-foot jib-mainsail boat, Fannie had
been stolen from her moorings off what
is known as Second Point, East N or-
walk.
As the place from where the craft,
(which was valued at about $500) had
been stolen was outside of the city
limits the police had no jurisdiction in
the matter, although Capt. Gladstone
rendered such assistance as was in his
power towards the apprehension of the
thief.
Mr. Decker sent telegrams to difi
ferent points along shore giving a
description of the boat and then went
by train east to if possible locate the
stolen craft.
M. J. Decker boarded the boat “Pell”
and set sail towards Stamford in hopes
of apprehending the thief.
Capt. Richard Reddy and Robert
Brown boarded the sloop “John H.”
and started east on a similar errand.
It occurred to Captain Reddy that
perhaps the thief had made for Long
Island, and later events showed that
he made no mistake in such opinion.
He steered his craft for Port Jeffer-
son, and as he entered the harbor at
that point, espied the missing craft.
He quickly drew up alongside of the
Fannie and boarded her. There was
no one on deck but in the cabin he
found a young man busily engaged in
cooking some food.
The fellow at first was disposed to
question the right of the intrusion, but
was quickly brought to his proper
senses by the captain, and in a short
time both boats were en route back to
the Norwalk shores which were reach-
ed without further event. The man
was very reticent and refused to give
his name. ,
He was turned over to the police and
landed in one of the cages at the
station house.
This morning he continued in his
refusal to give his name or place of
residence. He disavowed any intent
to steal the boat. He said that he had
been to camp out on Nauvoo Island,and
thought that it would be sport to take
a sail to Loug Island, and as the Folnnie
seemed to be just the craft for the oc-
casion he appropriated it.
Having some trouble in raising the
anchor he let the cable run out and left
the anchor at rest in the mud.
He said that having no compas he
lost his bearings with the result that
he was forced to “sort of tie up” the
boat where he was apprehended, it W
having been his intent to land at an-
other part of the island.
He was fairly well dressed in light
trousers, light outing shirt, and wore
leather belt, and stated that his rela-
tives w ere well to do, that he was but
19 years of age, (he looked to be fully
25) and that if his relatives were made
acquainted with the facts they would
pay all damages and secure his release.
He has darkpiercing eye's, dark hair
and his-skin is .bronzed from exposure.
He asked Captain Gladstone to 'tele-
graph to his father at the 'Bellview
House, Interdale, N. H. It is thought
that this request- was made for the
purpose of misleading theofficer. He
finally gave his‘name asHarry Wirtz. -- '
The hearing in the case" Was‘c‘o’n-
tinued until to-morrow.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
James Ready’s Head Cut From His Body
and Carried Several Rods
on a Truck.
James Ready of Hartford, a shift-
less- sort of fellow, tnet with a hor-
rible death on the Valley road near
the Ferry street bridge in this city,
shortly after 6 o’clock last evening.
His head was severed from his body
and carried several rods. beyond the
trunk, which was tossed to one side of
the rail. The head was lodged be-
tween the rail and the truck of the car
and was so jammed in that it was
necessary to back the car to release the
head. The back of the head was
crushed in and the scalp torn off. The
face was but little mutilated and was
easily recognized. The moustache was
intact. It is supposed that the back of
the head was struck when the man fell
between the cars. The Wheels passed
over the neck, severing it in a jagged
manner.
The body was pretty well out up.
The arms and hands were broken in
several places, the chest was crushed,
the left ankle was dislocated and there
were numerous cuts and bruises. The
“feet escaped injury. K

Andrew Kanocz Makes a Mur-

Haddock.
He is Arrested and Will Have to Answer
to a Serious Charge.
Andrew Kanocz is confined in a back
cage at the station house at South Nor-
walk, onthe charge of a murderous
assault on James Haddock.
Kanocz and Haddock, it seems met
at the saloon of Steve Boldizer on
Bouton street, Whistleville, on Thurs-
day and quarrelled.
The former becoming enraged drew
a shoe-knife with a well-ground blade
about three inches in length l and
plunged it into Haddock’s breast, or
so it is alleged.
Anyhow Haddock received an ugly
cut on the breast causing a gash fully
three inches in length and to a con-
siderable depth, and there is a possi-
bility of the wound proving fat-a1.
Dr. Sherer was summoned and took
four stitches in closing the wound.
Kanocz, who is a Hungarian, was
placed under arreSt, and did not at the
time deny the assault but claimed that
he had just provocation.
He was to have been given a hearing
in the Town Court this morning, but as
Dr. Sherer announced that his patient
would be in no condition to appear in
court for some days, the case was
adjourned until to-morrow morning.

Was a Success.
The trolley ride given by the

White line but succeeded in getting
one from the Red line and even at that
the crowd that wished to ride were
not provided for in the manner desired
by the tribe. However, despite the
