A low dayugo a representing female
called at a number of‘rerideneea la Wil-
ton, rays th Bldgelleld Press. and relat-
ed an interesting story of the destitutlon
of an old lady whom she claimed lived
within tbemwn and was utterly desti-
tute, and whom the caller was endeavon
mg to assist by the sale of some atrocious
examples of fancy work. The story
varied; sometimes the old lady was blind
and lived in North Wilton, than she was
deaf and lived near the Congregational
church. Again she was crippled by
rheumatism, but in nearly every case
the story waseo smoothly told that a con-
tribution wrut forthcoming from the kind-
hcarted listener. She gave the names of
two respectable families in Wilton, as
references, and seemed to be well aw
quainled throughout the place. She was
finally recognized as a character who had
given considerable trouble to the Norwalk
authorities, and has beenejecled from sev-
cral, public balls in this place. Having
“worked" the main street ‘of Wilton to
her satisfaction, she obtained a ride to
the station with several of the Whitlock
boys, and before reaching that place had
given an insight into her true character,
foras one of the lads discribed it, “she
cussed ’cm out." No complaint having
been blade, the woman escaped.
She gave the village another call on
Wednesday with the game story. This
time the old lady lived in South Wilton.
and was very, very old. The story had
the desired efl'ect of extracting quarters
from sympathetic listeners, but she ling-
ered a little too long, and was recognized
by one of the victims of her former visit.
who threatened her With arrest if again
caught in the town. This was met with
an offer to return the quarter, which
was mpted and promptly handed out.
The enterprising young lady is described
as about fifteen years of age, of medium
height. light hair and quite pretty.
The young woman referred. to is sup-
posed to be a resident of East Norwalk.
She has tried several schemes to raise
money in Norwalk. During the week
she has regularly held a reserved seat in
the balcony at the Norwalk Opera
House, and when the “em Theatre was
waning she was invariably found there.
Win-never she appears m the evening
she invariably wears flowers. and readily
makes friends to whom she always tells
a tale of woe which elicits sympathy
and money. The authorities should take
her arse in hand and cut her career
short in its infancy.
ANOTHER l-‘iltli AT ”ARIES.
All I nocmpled House Burned to the

The old residence on the Dr. Percival
place on Brookside avenue, llarien. was
burned tothe ground at an early hour
this morning. The house was a good-
sized building. containing: eight rooms,
and was worth between $400 and $500.
lt waste have been torn down this
spring. and the owner expected to have
a new and handsome house built on the
place. This will now probably begin at
once.
The supposition is that the house was
purmlyset on fire, or that some of the
numerous vogrants continually passing
througbuiwn. went into the house to
spend the night, and accidentally set it

STATE RIFLE RANGE.
The State Spends .Vlouey for More Land

Quartermaster General John 1’. llarbi-
son has bought for the state, at Niautic,
for $1,800. a strip of land adjoining the
state military camp ground on the went
for a state rifle range. The owners yield-
ed possession of the land by deed of trans-
fer, when told by General l‘larbison that
unless they did, it would be taken by
condemnatiou. The strip is about 1,500
feet long by 400 feet wide. and reaches
from near the entrance to the camp.
northward to the cove. ‘l‘ln- price paid
is about $130 an acre.
The land stretches across a circle. the
knoll of which will be cut down and
used to fill up a large hole in the parade
ground rust of the main road running
north from the entrance to the camp
ground.
ltis proposed to lay out a .100 yards
rifle range on the newly acquired land,
with the butts at the north and near the
edge of the cove. in all, including the
price paid for the land, it let probable
that $3,000, perhaps more. will be spent
in the contemplated improvements and
the equipment of the rifle range. The
range will be used for such rifle practice
as can be held during the encampment
and also possibly, for the annual rifle
shoot for regimental teams.
