some fine kept the resid ts ofEast Nor-
walk in a state of excitement by their
periodical burglaries, have again made
M We felt.

Some time during last night a bold
My took place at the East Norwalk
Mdoefil Eaatavenue. Entrance was
«and by the breaking of a hole in the
window on the south side of the building
lsrp enough to admit a man's hand. The
sash fastener was then removed without
the least trouble, and the burglars began
M‘work. uninterrupted by any one in
the vicinity. The burglary was first dis-.
covered by Postmaster Walter Hoyt
dbont 7 o’clok this morning, and when
Russell Morgan, his assistant, reported
for duty. he called Mr. Hoyt’s attention
to the broken window. They immedi-
ately made an investigation, and the
conclusion reached was that the attempt
at robbery had been successful so far as
an entrance was concerned.

Themoney drawers in the post-office
were thoroughly ransacked, but as they
contained nothing but postage stamps
the thieves allowed them to remain. $50
worth of envelopes and $10 in cash were
overlooked, as also were several register
edletters. Whether or not there were
any stamps taken Mr. Morgan, the as-
sistant postmaster, could not say, as he
had not finished his investigation up to
the time of going to press. If anything
is missing the case will be reported to
the postal authorities, and a detective de-
failed to look after the robbers.‘ The
building is also occupied by William A.
Folwellas a meat market and grocery
store. Mr. F olivell told a reporter that
$15 worth of cigars and several dollars'
worth of cake were taken from him.
The money drawer was found as he had
left' empty.

The thieves were not unucquainted
with the surroundings of the building,
as is clearly demonstrated by the man-1
herin which they so cleverly did their
work. Mrs. Folwell said that she is posi-
tive the intruders were not strangers, as
she has noticed recently that a number
of suspicious looking characters have been
prowling about the store. They would
make trifling purchases and at the same
time survey the surroundings. The par
ties engaged in the burglary are not
known, nor have they left a trail by
which indentilicétion could easily be es-
tablished, but the suspicions of the vino
time are so strong that, when a. detective
is put on the case they will, perhaps, be
verified. It is evident that money was
the only thing they were after.

Connyism Cited as a Cause Likely to
Spread Contagion.

_If the edict of the State Board of Health
is carried out, if is ulmgelher probable
that the people of Norwalk will be- re—
quired to be vaccinated.

The members of that body have voted
to urge the necessity of public vaccina-
tion and instructed the secretary, Dr.
Lindsley, to issue a circular. advocating
such a project, to all the: county health
officers, the city. town, borough and
school officials throughout the state.

Coxeyism was cited as a cause likely
tospread contagionand was an incen-
tive tothe project for general vaccina-
tion throughoutftonnecticut. Dr. Lindsv

culars within two days.

contagion within the New Haven school
district.

Nominated by the layer of Blair-ford.
it is generally recognized by the peo-

ple of Stamford that Chief Engmeer

Bowman has rendered invaluable ser-

vice iucontributiug so largely lo making

the fire department of that city what it
is today—~one of the best in the country.

Prominent citizens have, without the

knowledge of the chief and without con-

sulting him. recommended him to

Mayor—elect Leeds for appointment. as

chief of police. Mr. Leeds had the mat-

ter under consideration before these sug-
gestions were made, and the only objec-
tion which presented itself was whether

Mr. Bowman would consent to take the

place. Mr. Deeds. in conversation with

a Stamford Advocate reporter, intimat-

ed that it was not at all unlikely that he

would nominate Mr. Bowman for chief
of police at the meeting of the Common

Council next Monday evening.

Mr. Bowman has many friends in the
Norwaiks, particularly among the oili-
cials and firemen of the sister cities, who
have enjoyed his whole-aouled hospital?
lty, and who know h1m as a capable,
trustworthy, careful man, reliable in
every way. There' 1s no reason, says the
Advocate, why he should not also re»
main chief of the fire department. and
there is every reason why he should.
There Is nothing in the positions which
would make them conflict with each
other. Undoubtedly the appointment
would give general satisfaction.

Tuesday night the New (bacon brass

house with lutruments blowing. and in
the vssdbule gave Mr. Spear a musing
serenade. The roller sent a committee
out to bring the boys in, and when they
marched up the aisle. led by the Congre~

once, stirred wrth enthusiasm,applsuded
them most vigorously. After the band
had played another spirited air, the
meeting was resumed, Mr. Spear speak-

showing wherein it gained its influence
over men. His address was interrupted
with frequent outbursts of applause, and
at its conclusion there was a generous re~
spouse to the invitation for pledge sign-
era. The band was put upon the plat-
form, and in the rear of it was a chorus
choir of fifty voices. During pledge
signing the choir and band alternated in
contributing musical selections. Scores
of drinking men were present, and all
w ere deeply interested.

Wednesday noon Mr. Spear addressed
the employee at Fancher’s shoe shop in

 

the work room, and this noon held a

Saturday afternoon there is to be a rous

composed entirely of the children of the
public schools. Mr. Spear will address
them and local pastors will speak. The
town is thoroughly aroused and already
there is talk of opening rooms where
men can go for amusement, and meet
with interestmg attractions that will
counteract the saloon. A number of
prominent monied men have signified
their willingnessto contrIbute the means,
and the pastors are actively in favor of
it. sothat it is in every way probable
that some such organization will be the
outgrowth of Mr. Spenr's labors in New

A goodly delegation of South Nurwalk
