Important Advice.

It is surprising how many peo-
‘ple wake up in the morningnear.
ly as tired as when they went to
bed, a disagreeable taste in their
mouth, the lips sticky, and the
breath oflensioe, with a coated
tongue. These are nature’s first
warnings of Dyspepsia and Liver Dis-
orders, but if the U. S. ArmyErNaay
Tablets are resorted to at this
stage they will restore the system
to a healthy \condition. A few
doses will do more for a weak or
sour stomach and Constipation than

a prolonged course of any other .

medicine.

If you can not get them at
your drug store, send 10c. for
a package of 12 to the U. S.

several hours of hard work the flames

illuminant

The Norwalk fire department was
called out Thursday morning to fight
two fires. one shortly after midnight
at the Star laundry on Main street an d
the other at 7:40 in Leonard’s coal
yard on Water street. .

About 12:35 oiclock -Ol'iiccr Thomas
Hunt, whose beat was on Main street,
came down on the north side of the
street and crossing Over at Wall street
joined Chief Bradley on Glendening’s
drug store corner.

As the two stood talking their lat-
tentiOn was attracted by a volume of
smoke pouring from the upper win-
dows of Noah Wood’s building, No. 26
Main street. They openedr’box 15 and
attempted to send in an alarm, but be-
yond striking once the box refused to
work, the binding screw; which holds
the index wheel to the host having
become unscrewed and the wheel would
not turn.

The alarm failing a telephone mes-
sage was sent to the electric light sta-
tion and the whistle was sounded,
bringing the firemen to the scene.

In the meantime Officers Hunt and
Bartram had connected a hose to a hy-
drant and were pouring a stream of
water onto the fire, which proved to be
under the stairway leading from the
Street to the rooms in the upper part of

.the building occupied by the Brother-

ton, Burke and Davis families.
The flames had eaten their
through the wall into the Star laundry

way

'- conducted by Miss Mary Clune, and

the firemen were obliged to break in
the glass in the door to gain an en-
trance.

After a hard fight the flames were
extinguished, but not until the stair-
way had been partially consumed, and
considerable damage done inside the
laundry. The laundry used the closet
under the stairs in which to keep old
paper. and it- is thought that rats
gnawing a match set the paper on fire,
as the flames undoubtedly started in
this closet.

Just outside the closet door stood a
table upon which were all of the col-
lars and cuffs belonging to the South
Norwalk patrons of the laundry. They
were all ready to assort and tie up in
packages to be delivered.

In addition to these were several
pieces of wearing apparel belonging to
Miss Clune. The flames soon ignited
the table and consumed the collars and
cuffs and wearing apparel
nothing but a pile of ashes on the
floor.

The flames extended across the store
and set fire to the outside of the drying
room in which was nearly all of the
week’s laundry, but luckily the fire-
men extinguished the fire before it
burned through the wooden partition.
- The interior of the laundry was well
smoked, but beyond the breaking of
several electric light shades, one glass
in the front window, six in the door
and several in the rear window. no
other damage was done.

The building is owned by Noah
Wood and is insured with O. E. Wilson.
The laundry fixtures are insured with
C. E. Curtis, but the laundry of custo-
mers was not insured, the owners leav-
ing it at their own risk.

FIRE AT LEONARD'S.

The firemen. had hardly cleaned up
from the Main street fire. when an
alarm from box 15 called them to Leon-
ard’s coal yard on Water street. Hope
Hose was soon on the scene, followed
by the rest of the department, the new
supply wagon being called out for its
first run, ‘

The fire was found to be in a large
shed of soft Cumberland coal on the
dock. The Hopes soon had a stream
of water'on the fire, but it seemed to
have no effect, as did a stream from

Phoenix.
Finding the fire to be a difficult one,

Chief Prowitt sent for Phoenix steam-
er and had a gang of men put to work
shoveling over the coal.

As soon as an opening was made the
Siamese coupling was attached and
the steamer poured three streams of
from the
but it was not until after

were subdued.

The sheds are insured with Cowlesdr
Merrill, but there was no insurance on
the coal.

G. A. Franke has rented his house on

Norwalk‘ Was visited by burglars
Thursday morning, and the residence

Of Lewis Hubbell on West avenue and
the saloon of R. Goldschmidt on Water

 

street entered. ,

When Mr. Goldschmidt, whose living
apartments are upstairs over his saloon
at NO. 18 Water street, came down to
open the saloon early that morning,he
found the cash register Open and all of
the drawers of the back bar pulled out
and lying on .the floor. The bottles
usually kept under the bar were also
found sitting in a row on top of the
bar, while a quantity of cigar ashes on
the floor attested the presence of visit-
ors.

Going to the back window of the
saloon he found the shutter wide open,
a window pane out and the catch on
the sash turned back, showing that an
entrance had been made from the rear
since he closed up at§ 11 o’clock ‘Wed-
nesday night.

An inspection of the place disclosed
several bottles of wines and liquors
missing, also two boxes of cigars. The
cash indicator which had contained a
few pennies was untouched, the money
being left by the burglars, who evi-
dently expected to find a larger sum
hidden away in the drawers of the back
bar but were disappointed.-

Sbortly after the news of Mr. Gold-

schmidt’s burglary became knowu,
Lewis Hubbell reported that his house,
No. 11 West avenue, had also been
visited.
When the family came down StairsWed
nespay morning they found two pantry
windows had been forced Open with a
jimmy, both catches having been bent
double by the force of the pressure. On
the dining room table were all of the
solid silver spoons placed in a row, with
none missing. as though the burglars
had been frightened off before they
had a chance to tie them up.

The floor with burnt
matches. and the milk left by the
milkmau about 4 o’clock had been con-

was stre wu

sumed by the visitors.

A search of the premises disclosed
the loss of two napkin rings, one solid
silver and the other plated.

The doors leading -to the upper
rooms were locked and the intruders
could not gain an entrance up stairs in-
to the bedrooms of the family, conse-
quently no greater loss than that of the
napkin rings was suffered.

The fact that the thieves drank the
milk would indicate that they entered
the house some time after 4 o’clock
that morning, which is the time of the
milkman’s usual delivery.

Three strangers were seen in town
.early that morning apparently journey-
ing towards 'Danbury, where they
probably expect to work the fair next
month, but it is not known whether
they had anything to do with the bur-
glaries.

SAVORED 0F ELOPEMENT.

Had to Apply to Many Clergymen Before Get-
ting Married-

Joseph Anderson, jr., of Waterbury,
and Mary C. Lewis of New Haven were

quietly married in this city, Tuesday. A

Mr. Anderson is a son of the Rev. Dr.
Joseph Anderson of Waterbury, was
graduated from Yale in ’96 and is alaw
partner of Harold R. Durant, prosecu-
ting attorney of the city of Waterbury,
and representative in the general as-
sembly. Miss Lewis is well known in
New Haven. She spent the summer at
the Hotel Bonsilene' in Woodmont at
which place Mr. Anderson also lived a
great portion of the summer with his
parents. The parties ate well known
to many Bridgeporters.

The couple came to this city on Tues-
day and obtained a license from Town
Clerk Weber but found trouble in hav-
ing the ceremony performed. They re-
garded the case as an elopement. A
half dozen clergyman refused to marry
the couple. At the parsonage of the
South Congregational church the pas-
tor Rev. Frank Russell, refused to per-
form the ceremony. One clergyman
who refused was told by Anderson that
there were “other ministers in town,”
and he and Miss Lewis “would be
married by someone” before they left
Bridgeport. An efl’ort was made last
night without success to find the min-
ister who married the couple. Among
those visited were Rev. H. A. Daven-
port, Rev. Frank Russell, Rev. M. O.
Lepley. Rev. C. F. Stimson. Rev. W.
A. Lewis, and Rev. F. A. Dillingham
One of the clergymen said he had
heard that the couple had succeeded in

having the knot tied—Bridgeport;

Union.

Rev. Joseph Anderson. fatherof the
young man, was formerly pastor of the
First Congregational church of this
city.
