AN ORPIIAN GIRL ABDUCTED.
All Ugly Story from the Sun Concerning
Lawyer Gray at lorwalk
A New Haven dispatch to the New
York Sun says: “The village of Wood-
mnnt is stirred over so abduction case.
On Tuesday last a 14-year—old orphan
girl by the name of Sadie Ring was
taken from the home of s Woodmont
family which had befriended her and
carried off. The child had from March
last made the house of Andrew Gilbert
her home. Mr. Gilbert found her one
cold night on the railroad track. The
child said she had run away from Nor-
walk from the house of Lawyer J. A,
Gray, by whom she had been shamfully
treated. She was then on the road to
Boston, and intended to walk the entire
distance. Mr. Gilbert persuaded Sadie
to stay with him over night. which she
did. When morning came she was loath
to go away, and weeks and months still
found her at Mr. Gilbert's house, where
she lived as one of the family. On Tues-
day IAwyer Gray and a man whom he
introduced as a Sheriff called at the Gil-
bert house. lie demanded the child.
When Sadie saw the lawyer she grew
frantic, and on her knees begged Mr.
Gilbert not to allow her to be taken
away. The supposed Sheriff, however,
frightened Mr. Gilbert, and he told Sadie
she would have togo. With this the
child rushed to a bureau where Mr. Gil-
bert kept his run, and taking the wea-
pon raised it to her throat. saying that
she would kill herself before she would
go. Mr. Gilbert caught her arm before
she did herself any injury. The child
was then carried to a beach wagon,
which was in waiting near by, and was
driven off. Mr. Gilbert has learned that
the Sheriff was a fraud, and will prose-
cuic both him and Gray.

NEW llAI TO BE BUILT.
I. Voted at a Special City Blasting Last
Night.
A Ilpttclhl city meeting was held at the
Salvation Army Barracks last evening
for the purpose of hearing the report of
the Wall-r Commissioners relative to the
improvement of the ihuth Nurwnlk wat-
er works and to take aru. in Ill l'r‘ltslltlli
thereto.
The meeting was called to order by
Ilia llonor, Mayor Comstock, and after
the call of thwmeeting was read William
B. Rider made a report in behalf of the
Water Comm ners relative to build-
ing the new reservoir and layinga 12
inch or a 16 inch main from the proposed
reservoir to the city. The work com-
pit-ta with a 12 inch main would cost
about ”0,000, while the cost wlth a 16
inch main would be “18,000.
To bring the matter before the meet-
ing John E. Light offered the follow ing
resolution:
Resolved, That the report of the Water
Commissioners be accepted and that they
be nulhoril-Pd and instructed to build the
new reservoir and construct a new main
between the new and lower reservoir ac.
cording to said report, and plans ac-
companying it, and to build a 13 Inch
main from the loWer reservoir to the
clty, and that they be authorized to pur-
chase necessary land and privileges to
carry said work into effect.
Nelson Taylor offered an amendment
to the above resolution, striking out the
clause. “and to build a 12 inch ~maiu
from the lower reservoir to the oily."
There was not much discussion on the
question, and when it was put the
amendment was carried unanimously.
The resolution as amended was then
carried without opposition.
The following resolutino offered by
Nelson Taylor and seconded by John II.
Light was then adopted:
Resolved, That fifty-five thousand dol-
lars bound the same is hereby approp-
riated for the purpose of building the
new reservoir and new mains between
the new renervoirand the lower reservoir,
and for purchasing necessary land and
privileges to carry said work into effect
and to pay all exporter-a incident thereto,
and that hands he issued to cover said
sum payable 20 years after date of issue,
bearing inn-rest at 4 per cent. per an-
oino, payable semi-annually.
The proposal reservoir will cost about
$51,000, which includes suitable filters
and everything connected with the work.

Wrak ii hm: as they arl'ltrrmt'll ill the
Southern Stalls, ”Sea Trout," are just
now receiving much attention from the
city press, and from fishermen wherever
they are to be caught. This fish has
rarely been seen in our waters, but last
year they were caught in our harbor,
and in some of the creeks in this county,
and they have again visited us this year
in larger numbers, and every week day,
(and we fear on Sundays,) many hosts
can be seen on Dorlon’s Point, with lone
fishermen coaxing them to bite. Some
days quite a number have been caught,
while on others the number of fishermen
outnumber the fish taken. This fish is
a delicious one, but needs cooking soon
after being taken.
Weak fish have for many years been
taken in large numbers in the waters
surrounding Staten Island, and are sup.
weed to feed on the small fly that are so
numerous in the oyster beds in the scat-
ers that surround that island. Oyster
cultivation is reaching such enormous
proportions at the mouth of our harbors
and in the sound, it is fair to suppose
that ere long weak filliing wi!l constitute
one of the attractions that will draw
fishermen to the western portions of
Connecticut’s sound harbors and bays.
Weak fish, like shad, spend their win-
ters in southern waters, and reach our
shores about the time that the shad fish-
mg is over, and will be a welcome addi-
tion to our home fish supply.

THE ANNIVERSARY I“I'I"l‘l.\’fil.lY
CELEBRATE” YESTERDAY.
The one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Methodiam in New England was
celi‘hl’ntt d in Norwalk yesterday in a
manner that would have pleased the
memorable Jesse Lee had he been pm
cot and seen the difference bet wet n the
present time and the 17th day of June,
1789, when doors were closed against
him and he preached under the branches
of an apple tree.
The exercises were held in Music Hall.
Owing to the storm in the afternoon the
attendance was small but the programme
was attentively listened to. Burr Nash,
who is the oldest living member of the
South Nora-elk Methodist Church. pro.
sided. Rev. J. A. Biddle of the Congre-
gational Church read a passage of Scrip-
tures and prayer was offered by Rev.
Mr. Ford of Huntington. L. I. The and-
ience joined in singing “0 for a Thousand
Tongues to Sing," and “Jesus Lover of
My Soul."
Mr. Nash gave nglowing account of
the character and deeds of the only
workers in the First II. E. Church, and
also spoke of the brave itinerant preach-
ers who planted the seed of Methodism
in New England.
At the conclusion of his remarks Rev.
C. J. North introduced Presiding Elder
N. G. Cheney, who spoke as foflovrs:
ADDRESS or ltni‘. x. u. Chasm, I'nlzsln-
ING ELDER.
This is a celebration of 100 years of
New England Methodism. It is a long
period, more than onetwcntisth of the
christian era. Only nineteen such por-
iods arranged in succession would, how-
ever, reach to the manger in Bethlehem.
If you cut across the trunk of this lusty
umbrageous tree you would find 100
rings, each ring a year of healthy growth.
lint there is no need to secure a section
of the tree. We know when. and where,
and by whom it was planted. Allund-l
red years have been told OH, on a weary
is told head by head in devotion. This
day is the anniversary of the beginning,
but we do not gather at the feet of do
crepitude. When Joseph brought his
father before the Egyptian king the
Pharoah spoke with interest, sympathy
and reverence for old age, and said,
”How old art thou 'r ’ But standing be-
fore the fresh strength of our denomina-
tion we observe no infirmity of age. She
is not sans eyes, sans teeth, or sans any-
thing. We have made improvement
every your of the century. The great
stone that was rolled to the door of the
sepulcber, the stone on which an angel
sat, has not gained by. the flow of time,
but probably lies worn and indistin-
guishablr, unserviceable and obstructive.
But we now consider a vital organization
that has flourished and gained in in-
fluence and power, year by year. John
Wei-Icy, in his old age, said that he had
become free from many of the weak‘
nesses of his youth. Even so a progress
ive church strengthens and becomes
more vigorous as years increase. Still
riding forward, we turn today to look
at the path over which we have advanc-
ed. To—day we sit with our backs to the
horses, and still progressing. gaze at the
landscape we have traversed.
The denomination had, previously to
its coming hither, reached forth in char-
acteristic vigor to many parts of the
countrv. There were some conditions in
New England that might well delay ll
little the itinerant: but the waiting was
only until the right man appeared. As
the Spirit sent Phillip on a divine errand,
so Jesse Lee was sent. It was the same
old going forth in obedience to God, as
Abram went, as Peter, as Paul. There
was a [tub-con, but it was crossed with
faith, and there was no provision for re-
treat. Who came, came to stay: and it
is this audacity of faith that makes
Jesse Lee the Methodist invader of New
England. He came with this urposc
and prayer: “0 Lord. establish an the
work of our hands: yea. the work of our
hands establish than it."
Norwalk is the Plymouth rock of New
England M-‘tbodistn. It was, in the order
of Providence, the threshold of entrance.
Jesse Lee was a lover of fresh air and of
trees. When he reached Boston, wont-
ing aroof, the famous old elm on the
common sheltered him while he preach-
ed; so here, the June foliage of an apple
tree was his sounding board. This pore
tal opened to fare, as be well know, hard
work and opposition, but he emered
with unwavering faith in God, and hold-
ly. Now, it Is the portal to a palace with
suite on suite of rich rooms and wide
halls lying fair and beautiful before us.

cited as to its channel, and branched
again and again, until all New England
is well watered, and is as one of the del-
tas of the great river, the same old river,
the river of the Water of Life.
Prom the Knickerbocker region came
a Virginian, wooing the Yankees in the
name of the Lord. What welcome await-
ed the itinerant? Not always the heart-
ieat. , But thestate motto was hospitable
and furnished a good expression of the
promise to any man of Godsent forth
anywhere with the gospel: "Qui transo
tulit tastiest." Be made the best of
what welcome he had everywhere, it as
much space as an ex hide would include
were cot'icsdcd him, he ,had the wit to
slit the hide into a continuous ribbon
fine as horse hair, and include all there
was—all New England. The soil was
rocky, and sometimes thin and poor, but

seed—the word of God, and some fell

were men of courageand devotion. They
had the stuff that makes soldiers: they
were men of chivalryand sacrifice. We
inherit their history, and the inspiration
of their record. To be “daughters of an

this truest apostolic succession. Jesse
Leebrought fire tothis region; but he
could not remain, he must pass on. Yet
he terrird long enough to ignite ll torch
or two in use place; and left the light
and warmth behind him. The men who
received the flame have paused it on
through the decades, and to-da it burns
the same old light—the light 0 Life: the
same old firm-the tire of Love, the fire
of the Holy Spirlt. The history of the
early days, of the ministers, and of the
laymen, reads like a romance. There
was plenty of controversial sllccgss, and
abundant patience In the reduction of
obstacles: titers was eloquent preaching
and forcible exhortatiun: there were
crowded camp meetings, spreading revi-
vals, and conversions continually. Our
fathers had a task providential set them,
that they should establish our Arminlan
doctrines, They laid deep foundations,
and reared asuperstructure of truth that
remains unshaken. The doctrinal char-
acteristics of their preaching. character-
:izes the preaching of New England to-
ay.
In the earlier years of the century, he
was rich who could like the deacon own
a "one boss shay," in which to drive to
church, or could take his wife seated be-
hind him on horse-back, on the old pil-
lion. But the people flocked from far
and near, and a ten mile walk did not
daunt the worshippers. Tile pulpit was
lofty, and the pews, if there were any,
straight in the back and stall-shaped.
Carpets. cushions, and furnaces, or even
stoves, [save perhaps a foot~wnrmer for
the aged] are of modern dstc. Electric
lights and gas were not. nor was there
kerosene or even camphine; but whale-
oil or tallow dips or the feeble rush light.
ed the services that were nevertheless
bright. Our fathers and mothers were
attired in quaint and inexpensive garb;
their robes were simple and severely
plain. 'I‘he unedorned dresses and poke-
bonm-ts are suggestive of leisure for bet-
ter things. In the high gallery were
flutes and fiddlcs, troulbonrs and bass-
voils; and the strong lupus-tows with
the beautiful comm rpm. v vlmi u: l'lL'il

Uur fathers, boih ministerial and Lty,
are inseparable from thc<Methodlsts of
the resent. The oldest seminary of
learning now existing in our denomina-
tion, and still prosperous, is in New Eng-
land, and some of its graduates are pres-
ent. The first institution for teaching
theology was born in New England, and
flourishes to day, and souls of its gradu-
ates are on this platform. The oldest
college sustained by our church is in
New England, and honored graduates
will address you In this service. New
England published a denominational re-
ilgious paper before the Christian Advo-
caio was born. Our fathers were men
of activity, of intellectual strength, and
of heart purity. It is they that "cast up
the high-way and gathrrcd out the
stones " It is they that have left us the
great form we till—the houses and ms-
chincry, the meadows, orchards, and
nurseries. the barns and immense har-
vests. Will the church advance in the
coming century as it has in the past?
Undoubtedly the progress will be greater.
It is ours to prosecute the work; ours to
operate the earthly machinery, looking
as did our fathers to Him who is the
giver of every good and perfect gift. to
grant us still greater increase, and so
shall our bicentennial transcend the
glory of this day, as this day transcends
the beginning, one hundred years ngo.

At the closeof Mr. Cheney's address,
Rev. J. A. Biddle was introduced and
for several minutes interested the audi-
ence with some well chosen remarks in
which be congratulated Methodiem up
on its rapid growth in New England.
Rev. C. III. Pegg closed the meeting
with the benediction.
Rev. George VanAlstyne, pastor of the
Norwalk Methodist church, presided at
the evening meeting. Seated on the
stage were the principal speakers of the
Evening, the pastors and several promi-
nent members of the local Methodist
churches, together with a choir made up
of some of Norwalk's best musical
talent.
The exercises opened with singing
“All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name.”
Rev. H. A._Delano, pastor of the South
Norwallt Baptist church, read the forty-
elghth Psalm, and Rev. Garrett Haulen-
beck offered prayer. The choir then
sang an anthem, at the conclusion of
which Rev. George 1’. Mains, of Brook-
lyn, was introduced. He took for his
subject "Methodism and the country.”
The first service Methodism ever render-
ed the country, be said, was the turning
loose of a man on horseback—Jesse Lee.
This man had been a great factor in the
history of the world. Mr. Mains spoke,
in language of no uncertain meaning,
of the attitude of the Methodist church,
on the temperance question, affirming
that if the nation was to live the liquor
traffic must die.
It was their duty. he said, to carry for-
Wsrd the work of educating and evange-
llastion in the South, where the Metho-
dist Obureh had already sent two and

grown its present accommodations, he
said, and they proposed to celebrate the
centennial of Methodisln by seeking to
secure a new house of worship. He
made strong appeal for aid from the
mother and sister church.
Mr. VanAlstyrts expressed his regret
thstthcy bad no ice cream to serve.
He said they could have a breeze from
the North, however, and introduced
Rev. C. J. North. of the South Norwalk
Methodist church. Mr. North made a
few timely remarks, saying among other
happy things, that his congregation pro-
posed to have a new church as soon as
they saw their offspring in East Nor-
walk established in a new place of
worship.
The meeting closed with the doxology,
Rev. C. If. Pegg pronouncing the bone-
diction. ‘
A singular coincidence in this centen-
nial of Methodism is the fact that on
Sunday morning the old bell of the First
Church, when manipulated by sexton
Beers, refused to ring. ‘ The tongue of
the old bell had fallen out, and only the
toller could be used. Some of the
brethren construe this into a suggestion
to replace- both bell and church with
new 0005.

Mexican Chivalry.
The gallant not of Sir Walter Raleigh, I!)
spreading his cloak before Queen Elisabeth,
weave her feet from the mud, will always
be remembered as an instance of knightly de-
votion. Yet the act has its parallels, all the
cur when the recipient of the courtesy is no
queen, butan humble maiden. The author
of “A White Umbrellain Mexico" deem-lbs
such a scene.
Once I caught sight of a ceremony not
often seen in Zacatecas, and rarely met with
elsewhere. In the middle of theatrust, upon
their knees on the roughatoua,walked,or
rather crawled, two native Indian girls,
dressed in white, their heads bars, their
black hair streaming down their backs, their
eye: afiame with excitement. Both clasped
to their breasts a small crucifix. Surround-
ingthsm werea donsn half crazydevotaes,
whose frenzied cries swelled the chant of the
youngest penitent.
Suddoply, from out a whim shop on the
opposite corner, darted three men, evidmtly
peons. With a quick movement they divided
the pressingcsowd, sprang ahead of thogirla,
and,takingtheirownnrapssfromtheh'
shoulders, threw themselves in turn in front
of the penitents.
As the girls crawled across them the first
peon would again seize the lamps, runahesd
and respread it. ’
“It is a Nuance, senor,” mid a bystander.
"not often seen here. The girls believe they
have committed some great sin. Theyarscn
the way to Los Ranedins. the chapel that
yousse on the bill yonder. But for the.
drunken peons they would leave a bloody
track."—-Youth's Companion.
