BUBULABS IN SOUTH NORWALK.

They Break Open Raymond Bron.’ Safe,
taut (let Very Little Booty.

This morning it was discovered that
burglars had been operating in Raymond
Bros.’ office on Washington street. They
gained entrance through the back win-
dow by prying It open. On the safe
door is a notice stating that no money is
kept III the sale and that it only contains
book and papers of value to the firm.
The burglars do] not heed the warning,
but set to Work to open the safe The
outside door, as is the custom, was on.
locked, but in order to get open the in-
side door they bored a hole in the lock
and loosened it so that the door could be
opened. Then the private apartments
were pried open and the "Knight of the
Jimmy" learned that there was some
truth in the statement that appeared on
the outside of the safe. In one of the
pigeon holes was a big containing about
$20 In specie. This was not touched as
the bag was surrounded by papers.
The only boovy that the burglars ee~
cured was a few pay envelopes contain-
Ing about $4 00.
Raymond Bros. one time lost a val
uable safe by having it blown open and
since thattime they have left the outside
door unlocked.
The only tool that the burglars left
behind them waaasmall monkey wrench.
COULDN’T STAND PROSPERITY.
l'mbrcllu Blender Merritt and Wife Sent
on a Visit to Sheriff Clarksurs.
An old umbrella mender and his wife
drifted into town with Wednesday’s
blizzard, and yesterday did quite a thrIfIy
business during the morning hours. They
could not bear up under so much pros-
perity, however, so they knocked off
work in the afternoon to enjoy the fruits
of their morning labor. The woman
became grossly intoxicated, and was
found lying beside a fence on the West-
nort. road, balf paralyzed with cold.
Officer Morehouse was notifit d, and with
the assistance of the woman’s husband,
succeeded in lugging her off to the sta
tiou house. Utter in the day the old
man was found drunk on the streets and
was sent down to keep his wife com-
pany. When brought into court this
morning he said his name was William
Merritt. district deputy grand master of
the ancient order of tourists. Merritt
with his Wife and kit went east to spend

A Rochester, N.Y., paper contains this
about Rose Bill's English Folly company:
“If anybody went to the Opera House
last night expecting to spread himself
over several seats, he must have been
dranppoluted. The house was more than
packed, it was overflowing. The attrac-
tion was Ross Bill's English Folly Coni-
pauy; the programme given was of a
most excellent order of burlesque and
speciality. and the scanning and stage
fittings wave gorgeous.

“All about the murder !" for the army
of Small. uswaboys to yell on the
streets this afternoon was the first
thought that came into the mind of a
tired newspaper scribeas he sat in the
sanctum alter an uneventful day, last
night, and heard the following telephone
message to Ofllcsr Ireland:

"Come to Wilson Point at once. An
engineer on one of the boats has'bseo
struck over the head with a pistol by the
watchman and he won’t allow anyone to
come near the boat.”

Fortunately for the reporter an invita-
tion toaccompsuy the official party to
the scene ol the supposed murder was
extended to him and accepted. Con-
stable Conley was (him to make the
arrest. Before starting he provided for
himself a revolver, club and a pair of
handculs. The scribe, of course, could
take care of himself, so he didn’t need
any of the implements of war. At any
rate, so argued the officer against the
sober reasoning of the scribe whose only
article of defence was well sharpened
pencil and plenty of blank paper. .

Our carriage resembled a New York
“night hawk" and as we rounded the-
corner near the City Hotel and went
down the street it seemed as though the
wheels would break down with every
succeeding “bumrrIick" that we passed
over. But our driver had no fear as he
informed us that he had driven the
”Black Maria" in New Haven. He
showed us that his horse was very speedy
by whipping him up and the manner in
which we thundered down South Main
street at an alarming rate of speed, at
tracted the attention of everybody we
passed on the street. For a moment
they forgot their shivering condition
and wondered what all the commotion
meant.

0.1 we sped and it seemed only a few
moments before we were spinning
around the shore at the Point. The re-
porter wouldn’t have cared bad the dis-
tance been twice as great as he preferred
to ride over the frozen ground to coming
face to face with a murderer. We
alighled from the carriage and com-
menced our journey through the freight
cars in order to reach our man. We had
not gone for when we reached "Billy,”
the engineer. He was minus a cost and
hat. Our first thought was that he was
the fellow we wanted and we approach-
ed him cautiously. He finally told us
his story. He and the watchman had
brooms engaged in a battle of words and
it becameso hot for him that he was
obliged to leave the pile driver. He
thought too mgch of his life to go near
the craft again as he was afraid the
watchman would kill him. We did not
besi'ate on going aboard but it must be
ndmiltvd that the officer went ahead
sortie distance. Mr. Cooley as be ap-
proIIclItd the cabin door held in his
hands the handcuffs and as he was about
to take hold of the knob the watchman
appeared on the scene and the officer
placed the steel wristlets on him. In

stead of finding him in a drunken rage
be was perfectly sober. We took him in
the carriage but previously the handcuffs
had been taken off. We drove to South
Norwalk and the engineer came here on
the night freight to make a charge
against the prisoner. Quite a respectable
sized delegation was at the Police Room
to hear the story of both men. From
what could be learned the engineer
struclr the watchman first and as there
were no witnesses to the quarrel one
man's word was as good as the other.
Chief Justice Conley decided that if an
arrest was made he th men would have
to be placed in the lockup. That didn’t
set well with the men and in prefersnc

to spending the night in the lockup they
paid for our carriage and departed in
peace.

A NORWALK IAN IN TROUBLE.

Arrested for Obtaining llorrcy l‘udnr

False Prutoucca lu Bridgeport.

Last evening's Bridgeport Farmer
printed the following:
Charles E. St. John. of Nirwalk, has
been arrested at the lnsltg-tion of W.
B. Hall a 00.. of this city, t-om whom
he is alleged to have obtarnetl money un
der false pretenses. Some six weeks ago
St. John purchased goods of W. B. Hall
&Co. to the amount of $8, and gave a
check forflfi in payment. The check
was accepted, and Mr. St. John was
given the balance in cash. The check
went to protest, and St. John was noti-
fied. He promised to make it good. but
has never done so. Ofllcers' fees swell
the amount to 860. and a few days ago
St. John was arrested and is now out on
bonds. '

He has wealthy connections, and has
always been conspicuous in high social
circles in Norwalk. He has speculated
conside in Wall Street, but is not
known to t any great mount.
His drr'est slit urge that indicated it
pbortsgc in funds of pitch 9' this"
Amount as .wlls a surprise to Nor-
walk people. It was understood that
the matter had been settled, but Stod-
dard, Bishop & Haviland, attorneys for
W. B. Hall&00., today said that no
settlement bad as yet been made. and
that W. B. Hall & 30. were not apprais—

matter.

A 8|.an reporter called at Ifr. St.

statement of the case from him, but was
told that Ilr. St. John was not at home.

And is Ioselvsd With 0pc- Arms by her

llrs. lrvlng Taylor, who left town
under somewhat peculiar circumstances
three weeks ago last Tuesday, and whose
name has been coupled in a very unfav.
arable light with that of Schuyler Tay.
lor, the horse car driver who deserted
his wife and family on the same day that
Mrs. Taylor went away. returned to
Norwslk last evening and was received
with open arms by her husband. lfrs.
Taylor came from the east on the 0:88
train, and was met at the depot by Mr.
Taylor, whom she had notified, by talc.
graph, of her coming. They went up-
town together on Conductor Bowe’s car
that leaves 80th Norwsllt upon the ar-
rival ol the train referred to, and attent-
ed mine attention as they sat basking in
each other’ a smiles, apparently oblivious
of the glances of a ecoreof eyes directed
toward them.

lira. Taylor. it is understood, emphati-
cally denies that she has been with the
car driver. She says she has been work
log in a shoe factory in Massachusetts,
and is seemingly very Indignaut because
of the scandalous reports that have gone
abroad. Tits woman’s husband was
heard to say, at the time his wife’s con—
duct was causing so much unenvisble
talk in town, he had nothing against her
and would live with her again if she
ever returned.

It is thought that Taylor will turn up
in Norwalk within a few days

V'ETIZBl—NABY SERGEONS MEET

The Quarterly looting of the State Assis—
clstlou lleld at tho Maharkcmo
Hotel.
The quarterly meeting of the Connecti-
cut Veterinary Medical Association was
held at the Mahackemo Hotel on Tues-
day sl 4 p.m. The meeting opened with
an address of welcome by its President,
Dr. Bridges, after which the following
members responded to the roll call: Dre.
Ross and Whitney of New Haven, Dre.
Beckley and dear of Mcriden, Dr. Mc-
Cellan of Bridgeport, Dr. Bland of Wat—
erbury, Dr. Gardener of Hartford, Dr.
Tuttle of New British. Dr. Smith of
Ansonia, Dr. Bridges of Norwalk,
After the general order of business
was dispensed with papers were read by
Dr. Smith on the origin of the horse,
Dr. Bland on Scrotai Hernia, Dr.:Ross on
Fractures, Dr. Gardener on Traumatic
Pericsrditis and its Diagnoses, after
which a general discussion was taken
part in by all the members present, 'till
7:30 p. m., when a recess was taken to
partake of a substantial repast gotten up
by mine hosts of the Mahackemo to
which all did ample justice.
The evening session was devoted to
the citing of interesting cases by severl'l
of the members which brought about a
lively discusaion.
Contagious and infectious diseases was
the next subject taken up. Tuberculous
consumption in animals was reported to
be Increasing in this State to an alarm-
Ing extent and it was the unanimous
opinion of all present that many cases in
the human family might be traced to the
use of meat and milk from animals so
diseased. The present existing laws on
contagious diseases was generally deplor-
ed. and soccer or later it would befound
that nothing but a rigid examination of
all meals consumed and a regular in-
spection of all milk herds demanded of
owners . f milk dairies would decrease
the mortllity in the human family and
protect owners of live stock as well from
tubercui Isis. Gladden and fancy still
exist and is spreading itself over a very
large area, now and then breaking forth
In some localities with renewed force
and nothing but extreme measures are
sufficient to control it. Outbreaks were
reported in different localities but owing
to the many loop-holes iu the laws as at
present framed nothing can be done to
entirely stamp it out. Veterinarians are
forced often to appeal for protection for
their patrons to the Humaussoclety who
(though supported by contribution only)
uobly respond to their call and with their
aid have been able to temporarilly sup
press outbreaks. It was suggested that
iytee be appointed on coplagious
ipfectinus diseases And another on
leg tail on but asso much time bedtime
occuplell ready and most of the mem-
bers were obliged to return home no
action could be taken on this matter at
this meeting.

After voting this one of the most plea
sent and instructive meetings ever held
by the association and tendering the
presrdeot a hearty vote of thanks for his
warm reception, the meeting adjourned
to meet at the city of Hartford the
1st Tuesday of next March.

this occasion the beat of ill» Mason's
entertainments, will not come amiss at
this time. The organ was litllil. at the
factory of Messrs. Wooberry & Harris

Boston, Mass, and is one of floor best.

It has three manuals of ill notes, and 30

notes on pedals. The swell organ con-

sists of 10 stopmhll enclosmi in swell

the key hoard. Tbs choir organ has 5

stops enclosed in asoparste sz-ll box,

which comes forward. taking: in 5 of the
slope of the great organ. The ng-ol
organ has 9 s'ops, all running through,

and the pedal organ has 3 stops with a

fourth stop nearest the manuals, 5n that

the full pedal organ can be brought into
service quickly at the will of the player.

These speaking stops are all itcnll‘v‘l at

gamba stop in use. The other two pe'ill'

out all the stops, the other withdrawing
all but 3 stops. We, have also the always
handy pedal, “the pedal rererdble,’

pedal. Looking now abm'. -t$w fir~t row
of keys or swell organ keyboard we no—
tice that all the mechanical action stops
are directly in front of you, and for
enough above the keyboard to be out of
the way, and yet the player need not
take his hand from the keys to draw one
or throw it off, so that all steps of what,
ever kind are within easy distance for
use and do not require the organist to
make those unsightly “reaches" which
are so often made on large organs where
the stops run by twos up the side of the
organ case. We now wish you to look
at'tbe keyboards: instead of having the
ivorys on the under side of the keys run
down on a bevel to the back of the key,
they are made like a half-inch rabbet,
and to the player gives all the room
which the old-fashioned keys look up by
being on a regular bevel. This brings
the keyboards 3 Inches nearer the organ.
ist in total, and allows an organist with
a large or long band to use all three key'
boards with one band. Two keyboards
with one band can be easily used.

Not wishing to tire your readers with
any more of the beauties of this organ
just now, let me say that to our friend.
Mr. Alex 8. Gibson, who has done so
much for the music and musical taste of
our people. is the credit of the more of
this. argon. to be 'veu. Our people of
Noswalk. and Son Novwslk know and
appreciate his endeavors, and be, at our
coming concert on the 17m, together
with Mr. J. Frank Donahue, organist of
the BtIstou Cathedral, with Bliss Jennie
A. Thomas, of New Haven, as soloist,
and a chorusof forty voices from the
choirs of Norwalk and South Norwalk,
under my own direction, will endeavor
to give our music loving people a rare
treat. Tickets are now constant 50:.
