MlliE THE MONEY FLY.

THREE CANDIDATES FOR TIIE
STATE REFORM SCHOOL.

 

They Itaal 'l‘an Dalian from Contractor
Brown's one. and Distribute it Among
Their Young Friends—Arrested and
Some of the Money Recovered.

George Britto, Ernest Britta and

, Charles Slavln were picked up by the
police in Norwalk last night about mid-

night. They were spending money

freely and the police suspected that
samething was wrong. The ‘boys fin-

ally admitmd that the money they

had' belonged to Contractor H. H.

Brown, having been taken from his of-

fice on Monroe street, yesterday, en-

trance being gained through an open

window in the cellar. Communication

washed with the South Norwalk oili-

oers, and the boys were brought

here and lodged in. the lockup.

This morning they were brought,

before Justice Barrett, together with
a number of their boy friends,
whom the officers found had been given
‘ some of the money. The first boy exam-
ined was George Miller, aged seven years,
of Monroe street. He said George Britto
» gave him $2.25, yesterday afternoon, and
he bought some ice cream and root beer;
said Britta told him he had found $101y-
ing in the yard of the hat forming fac-
tory. George Clark testified that George
'Britto gave him $1.10, which he said he
had' found in the hat forming yard.
George Dufault said he was given seven-
ty cents by George Britta, who had ‘7
last night, and told him he had a lot
more. George Britta, aged ten years,
said he had never been inside
Contractor Brown’s office, and claimed it
was George Miller who had given him $5
in change. He also said he had received
sixty cents from his mother to go to
Roton Point with. Ernest Britto, how-
ever,oontradicted the testimony of his
brother George, and said the latter had
given him fifty cents, and he also saw
’him give Miller, Clark and Dufault
money. The police found $4.21 hidden
in the bushes in Ira Seymour‘s nursery,
in the rear of the houses on Monroe
street, and the boys also returned the
, unspent portion of the money that had
[been given them, making in all $7.21 the
cars have succeeded in getting back.
The case was continued until this after-
noon at three o’clock.

FORGET-ME-NOT GARDEN PARTY.

Congregational King's Daughters larva
Refreshments on the Parsonage Lawn.
The lawn surrounding the parsonage

of the Norwalk Congregational church

presented an animated scene last oven-
ing, the occasion being a ”garden party”
held by the Forget-me-not Circle of

King’s Daughters, of which Mrs. F. J.

Curtis is president.

The members of the society were aided
by Rev. and. Mrs. T. K. Noble in arrang-
ing the decorations. which were truly or.
tistic and beautiful. Long strings of
Chinese lanterns were strung from tree
to tree and flags and hunting were drap-
ed here and ‘there to advantage. Re-
freshment tables dotted the lawn, and
upon either side of the house were wig-
warns or tents, one of which was oc-
cupied by a fair gypsy maiden, who un-
veiled the future when .her palm was
crossed with silver. The gypsy charac-
ter was cleverely portrayed by Miss
Florence Hitchcock. In the other tent
lemonade was dispensed in a charming
manner by Miss Louie Wood and Miss
Hazel Cole. The flower girls were the
Misses Jean and Alyse Gregory and their
graceful manners made their table a
pleasing feature of the affair. ’ Delicacies
in the confectionery line were sold by
Miss Vera Wood and Miss Clara ,Betts
who thoroughly understood the art of
winning customers. The waitresses,
whose feet seemed never to tire when a
dime was in eight, were Misses Edith
Hunter, Grace Adams. Alice Cole, Julia
Lockwood and Ethel Wilcox. The
grounds were opened at 5 o'clock and it
was considerably after 10 before the as-
sembly broke up.

During the evening an enjoyable piano
dust was rendered by Misses Vera Wood
and Mabel Wigham. and Miss Agnes
Littiejohn was heard upon the violin to
the intense delight of her hearers. The
affair was a perfect success, of which
the Circle have reason to be proud.

 

ENDORSED BY WAGE EARNERS.

Maiga .9 Co.'a Great Opportunity Sale at
Bridgeport a Public Benefit.

———An enormous trade during the last
week has been the reward of Meigs &
Co.’s great opportunity sale, as everyone
knows who has visited Bridgeport the
past week or this. and had occasion to
visit their store. The reduction in prices
has extended to everything. even to their
hats, furnishings. trunks and bags, which
are at prices as low in proportion as their
clothing stock. This “opportunity sale"
of Meigs a Co. is rather a unique en-
terprise, which has attracted‘the atten-
tion of the trade and public far and wide
and proved a complete success. It is a
genuine opportunity to the wage earner
and the rich as well, who are not long in
finding It out. Take a little outing to
Bridgeport. You‘ll save more than your
fare by buying a summer outfit at Meigs
& Co ’s while you are there.

DYSENTERI’.

The Cause and Treatment of Ordinary
Cases of the Disease.
Dysentery, also known as bloody-flux,
consists of an inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane of the large intestine,
with ulceration of the affected surfaces.
This disease is accompanied with much
nervous prostratiou, and is distinguished
by severe pains in the abdomen of a
griping nature. Occasionally the at-
tack Iis ushered in with a chill and

aching pains in various parts of
the body, wiIh copious fecal
dejectione. ln other cases the at-

tackis preceded by loss of appeIiIe. a
sense of uneasiness, with dull pains in
the abdomen, and wearincss. This dis-
ease may be either acute or chronic.

The causes of this allllction are many
and varied. It may be brought on by
expaure to cold or wet, or by improper
and indigestible articles of food, such as
unripe fruits, salads, pastries, and, in
fact, anything which inlefers with the
normal operations of the digestive ap-
paratus. One of its most fertile sources
in infants, and also of cholera infantum,
is the administration of unsuitable food,
the ill effects of which are greatly in-
creased by exposure to heat or cold. Un~
cleanliness, and the inhalation of im-
pure air. are prolific causes of this dis-
ease. Epidemics have been supposed to
bcduc to some poculinrily in the con-
dition of the atmosphere, or to some im-
pulpablc germ of a vegetable or animal
nature.

In the treatment of this disease, one
should first endeavor to ascertain the
cause of the trouble, and then, if possi-
ble, cliect its removal. Attention
should be given to the hygeno surround-
ings of the individual nillicted; if the pa-
tient resides in a miasmatic district, or
in a location in which Ills atmosphere is
contaminated by the decomposition of
animal or vegetable matter, or filled
with noxious gases, the abode should, if
possible. be changed. A pure, dry air is
most beneficial in this case. 0on the
least irritating and most easily digested
food should be taken. llenlthy milk is
slightly alkaline, but that of cows fed on
slope is usually acid, and unfit for in
fonts. It is. therefore. well to test milk
with blue litmus paper before feeding
to young children. If found to be
strongly acid, that felt it turns the pa-
per red. it should be rejected, but if
slightly so, eullicient lime water may be
added to render it slightly alkaline. For
adults and older children, the diet
should consist of such starchy foods as
arrowroot, sage, cornstarch, and of ripe
grapes, freed from the skins and seeds,
peaches, and boiled milk,or milk and
lime water. In some cases animal
broths are beneficial. especially mutton
broth. To quench thirst, crushed coffee.
rice coffee, and lemonade. in small
quantities, may be taken. Rest,above
all.is important. it is well, however.
to consult a physician in all cases of
this disorder.

Progress of the Four-Tracking Operations
Near Harlan—Hearing Before Commis-
aloners in the Julia Waterbury Probate
Calm—Bound About Boway'lon.

Judging from the work already done
on the four~tracking of the railroad be-
tween Glenbrook and a point just this
side of South Norwalk, the four tracks
will soon be laid and in working order,
and the prophecy that trains would be
running over them by April 1 will be-
comeafact. All along the line of the
road between these points work is going
forward at a rapid pace. At Glenbrook
the road will take a big detour from the
old road bed to the south, cutting off a
large part of the big curve at that point.
Several large banks will have to be cut
through in order to do this, and that
work has already begun at the eastern
side of the curve. From this point to
the new site of the Norotou station, the
road-bed, all the overhead road bridges
and the one over the Norotou river, are
ready for the foundation and rails of
the four tracks. Just above the road
bridge over the tracks at Norotou, the
cut is being rapidly widened. There
is a ledge of stone to blast out
at this point. From this cut,
the trains run to Darien on the new
tracks. The road-bed is the proper
width the entire distance. It required
II is work as compared with other sec-
tions, to put this part of the road-bed in
the desired shape, as the ground is com-
paratively level. Opposite the Darien
station and from that point to Rowaytou
the new road-bed will be elevated some
feet above the present grade. The bed
for two of the tracks has already been
completed and tracks will probably soon
iJfPiilld on it. The trains “ill then be
run over the new tracks, and the old bed
raised to the same height. Near R0 way-
tou several road and water bridges have
been and are being built. Balls on the
new mud-bed are being laid. Between
Rowuyton and South Norwalk, 3 wnde
detour to the north of the present tracks
through a big hill cuts oil another long
Curve. The cut is a deep oneand is hear-
ing completion. At the South Norwalk
end of the cut, the stone bed has been
laid for a considerable distance. It is
slightly elevated above the old bed. No
work has been done in Norwalk asyet.-—

Thchearing before commissioners of
the Stamford Probate Court, A. J. Bell,
(i. A Carter, Jr., and Edward Duffy, in
the matter of claims against the estate of
the late Julia Waterbury, of Darien, was
not closed Tuesday, being continued un.
til this afternoon. The deceased left
property worth $2,500, and the heirs dis-
puted hills which have been presented
against it. Attorneys N. it. liart, Mich-
ael Kencnly and Edward M. ’l‘roy are en-
gaged in the case. Tuesday's session was
mostly taken up with the testimony of
Mrs. Waring. an old lady who is capable
of furnishing hard work for the sharpest
cross-examiner. She had .1 claim of $75
for services in nursing Julia l‘l’otcrbury
during her illness. Mrs. Lyon has the
largest claim—431 .000——for services. Isaac
Carroll, of New York, presents a claim
for $300. It is II unto, given by Mrs.
Waterbury tuber sister, Letitia, and by
her endorsed to Mr. Carroll. The allega-
tion set up on behalf of the estate is that
the note was given without considera-
tion. The expression “for value re-
ceived" is used in the note. No evidence
has yet been taken in regard to this
claim.
