FIXED AT 010.000.
A III-her of [asters Said to Have Been
found at his Home in Brooklyn Ocu-
looting m- Wlth the New York Gang
of counterfeiters.
In New York city,yesterday. Detectives
Scanlon and Esquerells, who arrested
Russell B. Hoyt, an old Norwalk hatter,
on suspicion of being implicated with a
gangin making counterfeit 010 certifi-
cates, found a number of incriminat-
ing letters he had written and received,
and the officials are of’ the opinion that
they have suflicent evidence on which to
convict him of the charge. There is a
penalty of ten years in the penitentiary
for the crime of counterfeiting. The of-
ficers passed through South Norwalkyes-
terday on further clues to the gang.
Hoyt was unsigned before United Com-
missioner Alexander, in New York, yes-
terday. The warrant for his arrest,charg-
ing him with making, passing and hav-
ing in his possession counterfeit United
States government notes of various de-
nominations. was read to him and he
was asked if he knew the nature of the
charge. To this he replied that he had
an idea why he was arrested, but he do-
nied emphatically that he was a counter-
feiter.
“I have no money," he said, “to ar-
range for counsel, but I believe that if
Mr. Dunlap. the batter. who is my em-
ploycr, knew of my position he would
come to my assistance at once. I know
of no reason why I should be arrested.”
Commissioner Alexander fixed Hoyt’s
examination for next Monday morning
at 11 o’clock, and placed the amount of
hie bail bond at $0,000. Iont knew no
one whom he might offer as security,and
was thereupon placed in the hands of a
marshal, who took him to Ludlow street
jail.
The name of the other prisoner under
arrest, supposed to be a member of the
gang, is Samuel Massey, whoae occupa-
tion and address are withheld by the
authorities, and whose. name does not
appear in the New York or Brooklyn di-
rectories. lloyt had not been in the
prison long when he saw Massey, who
noticed him at the same moment. While
Massey seemed quite well pleased at
.meeting Hoyt, it was quite apparent
that the pleasure was not mutual. They
shook hands, however, and had a long
confidential conversation.
Massey was arrested on Tuesday. He
was quietly taken before one of the
commissioners and was sent to jail in
default of bail. It is said that besides
counterfeit $10 notes, amounting to sev.
eral hundred dollars, found in his pos-
session, some papers were taken from
his person implicating others, and par-
ticularly Hoyt.
In speaking of his arrest Hoyt, when
seen in the jail, said: “I am' not a coun-
terfeiter. Massey owed me some money,
and I had an appointment to call on him
and get it. When I did so Wednesday
morning, I learned that he had been ar-
rested on a charge of counterfeiting.
Then I went to South Norwnik and was
arrested there. No, I will not tell you
where Massey lives, or what is his occu-
pation ”
He declined to make any further state-
ment, saying his defense would be
nude in court and not before. lie also
refused to say what he suspected, that
Massey had given the detectives infor-
mation which led to his arrest. Massey,
also, would not discuss his arrest, or the
charge made against him, and he was no
more communicative about his business
or his residence.
Nothing in the vicinity of Hoyt's for-
mer residcmcc would go to indicate that
he was a man of vicious or extravagant
habits . The building No. 315 Nostrsud
avenue, where the allegrd counterfeit"
lived until May last, issn ordinary four
story building. the ground floor of which
is occupied as a grocery. iloyt had on-
cupied the top flat for about two years.
He paid for it, according to the owner,
D. U. Itiepesale. a rental of $10 a month,
and lived there with his wife.
From the conversation of the neigh.
horhood it was learned that Hoyt was of
a somewhat. convlval nature, but not ex.
cessively so. His friends were not
among those persons living near his
home nor were any of them known by
name to the other occupants of No. 815
Neutrons! avenue. These latter were cer-
tain that if any counterfeiting was done,
it was not carried on in
Hoyt's apartments, and they
were equally positive that dur-
ing thetwo years they lived there neith-
er the accused man nor his wife had
made any show of having unusual wealth
the only feature about Hoyt's life at
Bio. 815 Nostrsnd avenue, as related by a
mum-toasts reg-riled at all ens-
weatiist he was accustomed to
“all bk heyhdfl with delta, and
‘ {seem his deer with a knee her.
there was some other reasons for the pro.
cautions. Hoyt sometimes left his home
for a few days, and then Mrs. Hoyt went
after'him. She made no secret about it,
however. and said she always found him
in a hotel near the ferry. but whether on
the New York or Brooklyn side I never
learned. The Hoyts never bought many
goods in this neighborhood, and even did
their grocery and marketing at a dis-
tance."
Chief Forsythe did not care to talk
about the arrests at all. “I would like
to,” he said. “butI am afraid that the
publicity will mean a great deal more
trouble for us in capturing the others.
They are a most dangerous gang, I can
assure you,-and their mode of operating
was a most ingenious one." ‘7
When told that Massey had been ar-
rested, accused of being a member of the
gang, the chief assumed a look of sur-
prise and then said: “Hoyt's been talk-
ing, evidently. Well, when I arrested
the other man I took him before the
commissioner quietly, for I did not wish
the arrest to become known, and no one
did know anything about it, either, until
today. I wanted to do the same thing
with Hoyt, but you newspaper men had
to be on hand, and now everybody will
know about the arrests.
“If this publicity does not give the
others the chance to get away I expect
we will have them all in a day or two.
and then the public will be surprised by
a remarkably interesting account of their
operations.”
Robert Dunlap, the batter, in whose
Brooklyn factory Hoyt had been employ-
ed, could not be found yesterday after
noon, and at his home, No. 111 West
Seventy-second street, it was said that
he and his family were at Lake Mahopac
for the summer.
A Norwalk Dance.
Norwalk and the home of Miss Helena
Hill. daughter of Ex-Senator E. J. Hill.
was the destination of a merry party of
young people who left the city last even-
ing on the ghost train. At her invitation
they were to attend the iii-weekly dance
at the house of the NorWalk Lawn Tennis
club. They were not disappointed for
Miss Hill acted as hostess in a most
charming manner. From her home on
West avenue ahc esc )rted them to the
club grounds which had been tastefully
decorated. Many members of the club
were there. among them being Miss
Pauline Swords and Miss Fannie Leoniml,
both well-known in this city. The pol-
ished floor of the club house was in fine
condition and beneath the electric lights
draped in pink crepe tissue dancing was
indulged in to the music of Weidenham-
mer’s orchestra. Light refreshments
were served and when the Bridgeporters
returnedat 11:15 they hail spent a most
enjoyable evening.~—Bridgcport Farmer.

Last night and this morning Constable
Samuel Ireland placed attachments on
the bottling tumblishment of Henry
Ochs, also on his horses. wagons and

Tcnpviiuy, who is now in the county jail
of; Bridgeport on a charge of drunkenness,
will be handed over to the United States
authorities on August 11. charged with

that she advertised in two Boston papers

questing a small loan, which she said she
would pay when she took her new posi-

a number of persons.

surprise reception, last night, at the
home of Mrs. N. 0. Becker, South Main
street, in honor of her cousin. Miss Lil-
lian Mnlthers, of New York city, who is

Against the Advice of his Traveling Oom-
panlon he Jumps from a Freight Train
near the South Norwalk Btatlon—‘l‘aken
to the Hospital in the Ambulance.
Another victim of . the railroad occu‘
pies a cot in the Norwalk Hospital,today,
the result of his own carelessness.
Michael Burnes, a boy nineteen years
of age, and a friend. boarded the east-
bound freight, No. 118, Conductor Flem-
ming, near Harlem river, last night/, and
rode as far as South Norwalk. As the
train was nearing the depot, Barnes,
against the advice of his traveling com-
panion, gave a jump. His right foot
landed on the west-bound track, right in
front of the engine of train 80, due here
at. 10:20, which was just starting out from
the station. One of the wheels passed
over his foot, and the boy was knocked
down.
Burnes' cries brought aid, and he was
carried to the baggage room on the
stretcher. Dr. Allen, who wits called,
arrived shortly afterward, made an ex-
amination of the boy's injuries, stopped
the hemorrhage and bound up the foot.
He then sent for Dr. Burke and the am~
balance from Solmaus' stable, and on
their arrival Barnes was taken to the hos-
pital. His foot was badly crushed. Here
it was found necessary to amputate the
man's font at the ankle. the operation be-
ing performed by Dr. Baker, assisted by
Drs. Burke, Hitchcock, and Huntington.
Some of the bones in Burnes' nose were
also dislocated.
Burnee' home is in Sheffield, Mass, and
he will probably be sent to that place in
a few days. The conductor of train 89
was Robert Lindsley, who was married
to Miss Kate Scoficld, of South Norwalk.

The second trial of Robert
anarchist whose saloon in New York
city was the resort of anarchists during
the recent strikes of the silk workers,
was begun Wednesday in the Female
county court
The sensation of the day was the
statement of Charles A. Doebbelcr that
Ms: Ohlenschlaeger, who had informed
Jacob Weidmann of the plot to blow up
the dye works With dynamite, instead
of meeting with an accidental death, as
had been supposed, was really the vic-
tim of anarchist vengeance, and was
killed for betraying the diabolical
scheme of his fellow conspirators.
Ohlenschlaeger is well remembered by
residents of South Norwalk, where he
resided until about two years ago. He
came from Germany some eight years
ago, and secured employment with Hub-
bell & Barthol in this city. Later he
opened a dyeing establishment in the
upper part of the Duncan Iron Railing
Works building, on Water street, now
occupied by Flynn a Dudley, the shoe
manufacturers. and this business he
conducted for several months. A few
months after he left South Norwalk, a
report came in a press dispatch of the
finding of his dead body in New Jersey.
Mr. Weldmann says that Ohlenschlae-
ger first disclosed the dymamite plot to
him in his allies. The affair seemed to
worry him, and he told Mr. Weldmann
that he had been chosen to blow up the
dye works with dynamite. He could not
do it, he said, and desired to escape com*
mitting the crime. He also told the
dyer that an attempt was to be made on
his life with ii dynamite bomb,
After making these disclosures Oblon-
schlaegor seemed deeply downcnst, and
begged Mr Weldmnnu for money to
take him off, as he declared that his life
would be sacrificed if the plotters dis-
covered that he had exposed them. Mr.
Weldmaun tried to hold the man, assert
ing that by turning State's evidence be
0 mid free himself and convict the others.
Ohlenschlaeger declared that he did not
want to do that. "I cannot commit such
a crime as l have been selected for," he
said, “and I want to escape it all by get-
ting out of the country."
Mr. Weidmann gave him $5 and.the
fellow left. A few days after this his
body was found near the Erie railroad,
close by a strip of woodland at Wald-
Wick, with theskull crushed, apparently
by a powerful blow. Ilia fellow work-
men hinted at murder and declared they
believed he met with foul play. As the
dead man had no relatives in this country
the body was placed in Potter's Field
and the affair soon forgotten by the pub
lic, as there was no investigation. The
affair occurred in Bergen county, just
across the Pilsnilll' county line, and as
the Bergen county officials did not make
a more in the matter the accident was
ignored by the l’ussnic county author-
ities.
It is now probable that Prosecutor
(iourley will order an investigation. It
is doubtful whctfwr anything can be dis-
Covvred at this late. day that Would fix
the responsibility of a crime, if one was
committed, as the affair happened in
March. The trial of Suiilcl will be con-

THE HAT TRADE.
A Peculiar State of Alain-s Among the
Manufacturers.
The fall business so far is an uneven
one, some of the manufacturers of stifi
hats being overcrowded with orders.
others fairly busy, and still others with
little or nothing to do. As this applies
to manufacturers of similar grades it is
difficult to account for the peculiar state
of affairs, but the fact remains.
The retailers generally are closing up
a fairly good summer season, and, as the
straw but is law cash. collections
have somewhat improvad.
With the prospects of excellent crops
and the absence of any tangible reason
for a continuance of dull times it is diffi-
cult to see why business should not im-
prove as the season advances.
The great railroad strikes, which were
greatly exaggerated in importance by
the daily press, are practically over, and
while labor is still in a state of great,”-
rest. the sensible leaders see the folly of
further agitation at this time. The br-
along, and it is impossible at this writing
to see the outcome. The general sense
of the business community is one of ape.
thy concerning what is done if it is only
done quickly and the suspense and un-
certainty ended. The revival of trade
when it does come, will be gradual, and
although stocks throughout the country
are low, the filling up will be done with
the caution born of late experience.—

WHERE AND WHAT TO BUY.
What the Progressive Merchants of the
Nor-walks are Offering.
Luther Wright has a new advertise-
ment in today's issue worthy the attention
of any one looking for anything in the
wagon line. His repository is worth vis-
iting whether you intend to purchase or
not. lie has very pretty traps.pliaetons,
buggies and business wagons, and a. lot
of new-style spindles of his own make,
that seem to be just what is wanted. In
his harness department there is a fine so
sortment of horse and carriage goods.
Charles E. Scynnur believes that per—
severance and mnsrnnt endeavor to
please the purchasing public is a sure
road to enemas, and he has proved that
such is the case. His real live business
is the result of selling purezteas and cof-
fees and all groceries at such prices as
he quotes in his advertisements. Today
he calls attention to his tens and coffees,
a trial of which will prove the full worth-

Damage to the Tobacco Crop
llnlf a million dollars will probably no
more than cover the loss to the tobacco
and onion crops in the Connecticut val-
ley caused by Tuesday's thunder storms.
in Wothersfleld, (.ilaetonbury and Rocky
Hill the damage is estimated at $200,000.
The heat in that vicinity for the past
