Inthol-«Another Interesting Story.
There were no new developments, yes-
W, in thecase of the alleged coun-
Meiters, Russell B. and Lorenzo Hoyt,
fiamuel Massey and James W. Murphy.
H ,.'Forsythe, of the Secret Service Bu-
mll, says. his men are still working on
theosse at Bethel. Their efforts are now
being specially directed to the discov-
cryor the presses which it. is believed
have been buried in the vicinity of
Hoyt’s house. ,
Lorenzo Hoyt, upon whose premises
the counterfeiting outfit was discovered
fluidity, was taken before United States
Commissioner Wright, in New Haven.
He was accompanied by Detectives
Boanlon and Esquerella and Frederick
‘Ferry, his father-in-law. The examina-
tion was brief and the commissioner
bound the prisoner over for trial before
the next term of the United States
Bail was fixed at $2,000. The
was furnished by Mr. Ferry and
, Hoyt was released. They returned
at once to Bethel.
, Yesterday morning Detectives Scanlon
andEsqusrella alighted from the 11:45
tram from New York, upon its arrival at
‘ Bethei. It is the general opinion in
'Bothel that other arrests will follow as
soon as the detectives resume their inves-
tigsfitms.
The Danbury News prints an interest-
ing story, the truth of which cannot be
vouched for. Coupled with it is the
name of one of the best known residents
of Bethel. It. is said that he has been in
constant communication with the mem-
bers of the gang in Brooklyn and New
York and has transmitted cipher mes-
sages to them whenever a suspicious ap-
pearing stranger was seen in Bethe], and
. kept them informed upon various mat-
ters in connection with their business.
The detectives were very much sur-
prised when they read the complete story
of their doings in the New York papers.
They said, after their arrival in Bethel,
that the case was not yet completed and
that the publicau’on of the facts might
injure the work they expected to accom-
' plish. They are packing up some of the
captured articles and will ship them to
New York.
. A reporter from the News called at the
residence of Lorenzo Hoyt, in Bethel,
yuterday. Mr. Hoyt was at home and
' received the caller pleasantly. He said
that silence would be his policy and he
did not care to say anything for publica-
tion. He did, not appear to be worrying
greatly over the situation.
A dispatch from New Haven says it is
expected that Russell D. Hoyt and
Murphy, will be taken to New Haven
today and given a hearing before Corn-
miaeioner Wright. They were both ar-
' rested in the Connecticut district, while
Massey was captured in Brooklyn.
In addition to the counterfeiting out-
' fit which was sent to New York, infor-
mation of further finds was received this
morning. Among the most recent dis-
coveries were the printing press on
which the bogus ten-dollar bills were
struck oil, a complete set of engraver's
tools, and a numbering machine for im-
.' printing consecutive numbers on the
hills. All these things have been re-
moved to a safe place and will be sent to
New York later on.

The spacious grounds about the reel-
dence of Charles E. Jennings, on West

terns, which illuminated and gave addi-
tional beauty to the scene, attracteda

The occasion was the monthly business

CONSOLIDATED ROAD WORK.
———-
’lhe Responsible Bead and what the Men
Under hint on Doing.
Perhaps few people know, says the
Advocate, that the immense work which
is now being done on the Consolidated
railroad between Mount Vernon and
New Haven is directed from Stamford.
The responsible head of the whole busi.
ness is Roadmaster C. C. Elwell, whose
headquarters are in rooms in the mend
story of the railway station in that city.
Mr. Elwail has two assistants-George
A. Denmore, whose division is from
South Norwalk to New York, and F.
R. Coates, who looks after the sectionbe-
tween South Norwalk and New Haven.
' Roadmaeter Elweli is just now head
boss of a force of 1,020 men, of which
450 are on the regular "section" force
and the remaining 570 are engaged in
construction work. There are ten work
trains employed hauling stone ballast
and other materials, and the construction
force is divided into twelve or fourteen
gangs, each with a foreman. The section
gangs are thirty-three in number, and to
each of them is assigned a section of the
line which must be kept in repair. Each
section is in charge of a foreman, who
has considerable responsibility on his
shoulders.
The work of the office is so systema-
tized that much is ammpiished with less
labor than might be supposed. To keep
an accurate account of the time of sub
man employed in the department, and to
make up pay-rolls, is of course somewhat
of a job in itself, and that is done in the
Stamford office. By a system of care-
fully prepared reports, it is possible to
ascequ at any time, and at a moment’s
notice, just what work has been done
and what is in progress. The rosdtnas-
for may ascertain, by looking at a dia-
gram, withina few feet of how much
rail has been laid at any given point in
his diVIsion.
In regard to the work now being car—
ried on in this division, a fact which
must be appreciated by thoughtful peo-
ple, is that while the changes are being
made 143 regular and a number of spec-
ial trains are going over the road every
day, and it will not do to intefere with
this traffic. Railroad men say that the
cut at Greenwich, which has lately been
started, is the biggest job of the kind
ever undertaken on the Consolidated
railroad, with the exception of a piece
at Woodmont. The cut at the latter
point is longer than the Greenwich one
but not so deep, and did not require as
much blasting. Just below Greenwich
the present line curves in the shape of
the letter S. This curve. one of the
worst on the line, is to be abandoned.
The new road-bed will be straight, and
the fact that the company will be obliged
to incur an enormous expense in cutting
through a rocky elevation for about a
mile does not deter it from accomplish-
ing something which will be a vast im-
provement and will ensure greater speed
in the running of trains.
The cut at ihwaymn is, next to that
at Greenwich, the biggest piece of work
that is now going on. There is acurve
at Rowayton, and a new road-bed will
be made some ryiistnnce from the old one,
for a stretch of half to three-quarters of
a mile. It is believed that two new
tracks will be laid within a luonthbc-
tweenfilenbrook and I)arien,and then
the work of raising the old gratin for the
other two tracks will begin. From Coe-
cob to Greenwich the road-bell is about
ready for the lifts tobe laid, and by
i
next spring it i believed the new sec-
tion from Rivers e to Stamford wilibc
completed. The road is four—tracked
now to about a mile and a quarter east
of Port Chester.
George Hardy is the engineer who in-
spects the work of the contractors be-
tween Stamford and Port Chester, and
Mr. Berriam is the inspector between
Stamford and Siuth Norwalk.

A Flourishing Circle.
Star of Columbia Circle, No 253, C. 0.
1",, held their regular meeting last night,

ness, Miss Katherine Saunders, of Repub-
lic Pride circle, of New York city, made

home in Providence, spoke on the advan-
tages,social as well as beneficialpbtalncd
through membership in Companions of
the Forest. The membership of the
local circlels rapidly increasing. There
are eleven candidates for membership,
two of whom are about to be initiated.

A PAINTEB‘S PLUNGE INTO THE
NORWALK RIVER.
Picked up Bruised and Bleeding by the
Impioyes of Arnold a (in)- Foundry,
who at Pint Supposed the Man was Dead
—0thsr Accidents.
Ernest Wakeman, a painter who was
at work on Arnold d: Co.'s foundry, this
morning, had a narrow escape from seri-
ous injury. He was on a swinging
scaffold about fifteen feet above the river
bed, when 'one of the ropes gave way
and he was precipitated among the rocks
in the stream. Bis person was covered
with paint, and. he was thoroughly
soaked in the river. The moulders at
work in the foundry heard him fall and
rushed to the river bank. At first it was
thought he was dead, as the fall stunned
him. A ladder was procured and Mat-
thew Erhardt and Ed ward Henry Went
to Wakeman's assistance and brought
him up the ladder. ’ Ho was badly
bruised, and his back and one leg ap-
peared to be badly wrenched. He was
able to limp home, however, and at once
went to bed, where he is likely to remain
several days.
Ills Arm Broken in Two Places.
Henry Baxter, a thirteen-year-old boy.
who boards with Mrs. Corcoran, on
Monroe street, had a seat arranged about
thirty feet from the ground in a horse
chestnut tree which stands in the rear
of the house. Last evening at 6 o'clock,
he was seated there, when in some man-
ner the board slipped and he was pre-
cipitated tozthe ground. He struck on his
left side and his arm was broken in two
places. He was carried into the house,
and Dr. A. N. Clark summoned to dress
his injuries.

Was it Another Tip?
A local paper yesterday afternoon
heralded the report that “upon complaint
of Chief Bradley, Prosecuting Agent
lionnecker had made out a warrant for
the arrest of Mrs. Kate Barnes, daughter
of the celebrated Franklin avenue drug
store keeper, John Tobey, for violating
the screen law." As the warrant was
not signed by the justice until nearly ll
o‘clock and the paper containing the
statement was selling on the streets at
3 o’clock some people are mean enough
soinslnuate that Bonneckcr wanted to
give Mrs. Barnes timely notice of the
coming of the ofiicer.-—Norwalk Gazette.

concerning my husband’s trouble. My
husband never quarreled with me on
account of other man, nor did he ever
show any signs of jealousy. The only
reason I can give for Mr. Ochs leaving

TIIB SOLDIERS? HOME.
Interesting Items About the ~ Nor-oven
Institution.
A New Haven writer who recently
visited the Soldiers’ Home writes an
article containing some interesting in-
formation regarding the institution,
which gives deserved praise to its present
excellent management. The several
buildings which comprise the Home are
heated by steam from two fifty-four inch
and one forty-four inch boilers, using
1,000 tons of coal 8 year. Gasoline is
used for lighting purposes, and there are
in and about the grounds 850. lights. A
large water tank stands in nearly the
center of the grounds, which holds 28,000
gallons of water, and the capacity of the
pump which forces the water into it
from a beautiful spring a quarter ofa
mile distant is 5,000 gallons an hour. The
sanitary condition of the home is a model
of neatness, and the men are required to
take a bath once a week. Elegant bath
rooms with modern conppnieuces are
provided for that purpose. M. E. Dutton,
of Winsted, has charge of the laundry
department, and seven men are detailed
to assist him in the work, which takes
three days each week. The wash, com-
prises upward of 1,600 pieces aweek,
and each piece has to berecorded and
credited to the ward from which it was
taken. Everything in this depart-
ment is run by steam and
the work is done without
manual labor. The "wringer" makes 1,-
200 revolutions a minute. The ironing
machine is a very ingenious contrivance;
it is round and wide enough to take a
whole sheet at a time. Mr. Button says
that one hundred and fifty sheets could
be ironed in thirty minutes. The hospi-
tal is a large, new and commodious brick
building. The physician has his office
here, before whom those under treat-
ment appear every morning, or are at-
tended lu the ward, as the case requires.
Two lady attendants are employed in the
hospital. A new kitchen has recently
been added to this department, finished
in the natural wood and modern in every
particular Large copper boilers bound
with sheet brriss polished to a luster
that would answer for a good mirror,
serve for the purpose of coffee, tea and
water. The large range, with its elobor-
are nickel trimmings, occupying one
entire end of the room, work-tables
covermi with zinc rubbed to a surface
that is‘slmost transparent, long rows of
shelves filled high with beautiful white
crockery, with cupboards and closets at
every convenient point, constitute a
magnificent room, and all for the benefit
and comfort of the old solders. James
N. Goa, the efficient and warm-hearted
superintendent, personally looks after
the individual interests of his comrades.
Going into this institution not one cent
is necessary to have the comforts and
conveniences of a pleasant home. not
even a two cent postage stamp, for, if
you haven't got it, go to the commissary

Obstacles Alainst Carrying Out the Vote
of the Recent Town Meeting.
From present indications the result of
Monday's town meeting will come to
naught. There are several grave obsta-
cles to carrying out the vote of the meet-
ing, one of them being the opinion of the
town‘s attorney that, under the call, the
vote taken will not stand. The select-
mcn are advised that all of the land will
havctohe donated ; that they have no
right to go ahead and widen and
straighten the road here and there as
they would have to do under the resolu-
tion.
The seleclmen said, this morning, that
the land, so far as the Iloyt’s were con-
cerned, Would be donated, but the other
propertyaowners would not donate their
land. They said W. R. Lockwood, W.
M. Lockwood and Joseph Co: were up
posed to the improvement and would not
give their properly,and would claim dam-
ages if it was encroached upon. Further,
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company owned land between
the iloyt property and the proposed new
layout over the railroad. and were not
willing toglve it up for highway pur-
poses.
Selectmen Raymond, Baker and Das-
kam visited the officers of the Consoli-
dated itsilroad company at New Haven,
yesterday, and held a conference with
Viceol’resldeut Hall and Civil Engineer
Curtis regarding the land and the pro
posed new bridge. They were in.
formed that,“ they had directed the
railroad to accept the present layout of
the bridge some three months before,
they had already given the work of con-
struetiou out by contract and could not
very well change the location unless the

panse. Threat of the structure would

Bridgeport has taken an importantstsp
toward enforcement of the liquor law, in
edly inspired by a desire for mutual pro-
lety concerning possible violations or the
law.
The liquor licenses are expensive, and
those who do not pay the tax,as the
law provides, naturally secure a pecu-
who do pay the tax.
The man who pays $400 per year is in
unequal competition with his rival, who
pays no tax at all, and it is natural
that the Liquor Dealers’ association
should desire to make it impossible for
any man in a license town to sell liquor
without having paid the state tax.
A member of the Liquor Dealers’ as-
sociation puts the matter in the right
light when he says: “We are bound to
have our rights. If we must pay $400 a
year for a license, we are going to see
that everybody in the business does the
same thing. It is wrong to make one
man pay a license and allow another to
' run his saloon without paying a cent.”
Undoubtedly the action taken bythe
Liquor Dealers‘ association, of Bridge.

Dealers’ associations in other large towns
and cities of the state. But it should he
