VTllllLLEY CABS Billilllllii TIIB FIRST TRIP OVER THE WEST AVENUE SYSTEM. flinging Gongs and Tinklin: Bella Awake the lettuce of "Pudding Lane“ and Atom Gaul-I "Joe" Beadle, of Wiu~ nipank, from his Slumben at Midnight. To the accompaniment of clanging gouge and the tinkling of bells the first trolley car went skimming over the Winnipauk branch of the Norwalk Street Railway company‘s line shortly after 11 o’clock last night. _ It had been rumored that a car Would be run over the road, but there was no general knowledge to that effect, and it was quitea surprise to residents along the line ,when they heard the whir of the wheels. The unfamiliar sound, I that locality, of the motorman‘s gong, had the effect of arousing people from their slumbers and many a night-capped head pooped from behind half-drawn curtains all along the line. The same state of aflairs existed on the West ave- nue line, which was traversed shortly af- ter midnight. On board the first car were upward of ninety passengers. The seating capacity of the car was taken up and the side steps were lined. Among those on board were President E. J. Hill, Mayor E. O- Keeler. Councilman J. A. Osbornythe con- struction bosses, Messrs. Bumphreys and Vaughan; Editor B. W. Maples and B. C. Feeney, of the Hour; Fred A. Taylor, of the Gazette. and E. J. Thomas, of Tim SENTINEL. Superintendent Everitt Kyle was the motorman and: Secretary W. F. Acton acted as conductor. The car was No. 16. Everything worked smoothly and the run gave the best of satisfaction. The car went to the end of the exten- sion. On the way back a stop was made in front of J. C. Randle’s residence. and the unearthly noise made by the occu- pants of the car, assisted by the bells and gongs, was sufficient to arouse Mr. Ran. die from his slumbers and bring him to a window, where he indulged in a good- natured conversation with his tormen- tors. After the passengers had paid their respects to Mr. Randle the car made a quick run to the depot. It was then decided to take our No. 15 to South Norwalk,and there was a gener- al scramble for seats. Motorman Parsons was at the throttle and he had no sooner started than he was followed by closed car No. 22, in charge of one of the elec- tric linemen. Shortly afterwards car No. 14 was started by Motorman Parm- lee, and the procession moved down West avenue. On car No. 15 only oné’lmotor was switched in, and in consequence con- siderable difficulty was experienced in getting up Wall street and the hill marthe Methodist church. On top of the hill the difficulty was remedied and South Norwalk was soon reached. A freight train standing on the crossing tooteda salule as the procession came into view, and the jelly crew almard cheered as the car approached the depot. The paving at some portions of the South Norwaik end of West avenue interfered with the trucks on car No. 15. the cob bles being a little above the grade of the tracks. The other cars experienced no difficulty. The power last night was furnished by one generator attached to the new on- gine just set up at the electric light sta- tion. In was expected that a car would be started about ll o'clock, but the ma- chinery could not be gotten to run in proper shape until about 11 o'clock. The other generators are run by the same er. glue that furnishes power for tho Tran.- way company ’s generators. At 10 o’clock this morning about sixty invited guests, including the officials of the town and city of Norwuik, business men, prominent citizens and members of the press, boarded car No. 15 at Nor- walk. President Hill made nbriof ad- dress. formally presenting the road to Mayor Keefer for the use and conven- ience of the public. Mayor Keeler responded in an equally short but pithy manner. [is said that thirty-two years ago today the first horse car was run over the line between Norwallr and South Norwalk. and that on this anniversary it was fitting to state that Norwalk was keeping abreast of the times and that the melon was a most fitting one on which tooommemorate the anniversary of the road. The big doors of the car stable then swung open and the car started out, the hands on the depot clock pointing at twenty-two minutes past 10 o'clock. The trip to South Norwalk was madeinaeven minutes. Many handkerchisfs fluttered from the private residences along the line as the car sped by. Car No. 14 fol- lowed. It was reserved for the South Norwalk city officials, Tramway oom- , paoyofllalalaand Norseman and pro- Consortium. Timur! than mm W and Wianlpank. At the It iaestlmated that the runningrime from Winnipauk to South Norwalk will be about twenty minutes; twelve minutes from Winnipauk to Norwalk, and eight minutes from Norwalk to this city. Cars are running this afternoon, and have demonstrated the fact that electricity is far superior to horses. HOY'I‘ AND MURPHY HELD. A Detective Tells How the Former was Induced to go to )few York. After an argument dealing with the extradition laws between this and for- eign countries and between the differ- ent states of the Union. United States Commissioner Alexander. of New York. decided yesterday, to hold Russell B. Hoyt and James W. Murphy, alias Hill. alias Davis, two members of the Bethe] gang which is accused of counterfeiting government notes. Therefore. unless his lawyers secures writ of habeas corpus, Hoyt will be brought to Connecticut. where the crime was committed. Mur- phy, however, will be examined Friday. It was the contention of the lawyers for the defence that Hoyt was illegally brought into New York state from Con- necticut, discharged on the first com- plaint, and then without having an op. portunity of returning to Connecticut, was arrested there on the charge of counterfeiting in Connecticut, on a war- rant issued by Commissioner Wright, of this state. Various cases were cited, notably that of "Jimmy” Hope. the bank burglar, but United States District At- torney Macfarlans showed that these wereall nullified by a decision of the United States Supreme Court, as far, at least, as interstate extradition is concern- ed. He read opinions showing that even were an accsued man brought from one state into another by violence or illegal means he was liable to arrest and trial on any charge brought against him in that state. It was also declared that these laws had nothing to do with of- fences against the United States. To prove that Hoyt was brought into New York state illegally the defence put on the witness stand agent Frank Esqui- rcl, of the Secret Service Bureau. who took Hoyt to New York city, and his tes- timony was interesting as illustrating how little sanctity is attached to person- al liberty in the eyes of these agents. He came to South Norwalk on the same train with lloyt, he said, and when here he shook Hoyt, who appeared to be asleep. In answer to Hoyt's inquiry he told the fugitive be was his friend, whereupon Hoyt replied that he didn't know he had a friend in the world. When they left the train the witness, although he had no warrantvfor Hoyt’s arrest, calledto Chief of Police Vollmer, who was on the platform, and they took Hoyt to the station house, where he was searched. This was done in accordance with the instruction given to all agents to search suspects as soon as they lay their hands on them. No counterfeit money was found in his possession, and then. by request of Chief Yollmcr. Esquire! told Hoyt he was wanted for counterfeiting. Although no charge was then made against Hoyt, be agreed to go to New York,and after several drinks of beer with the detective they went there. Hoyt was locked up in the Oak street station, where a charge of counterfeiting was made against him. Agent Esquircl denied. however, that iioyt was under arrest all this time. After the argument Lawyer Stern said he would apply fora writ of babeae cor- pus for lont. and asked that he should not be removed to Connecticut until he had a chance to make his application. and for the other reason that he would b) an important witness, in Murphy's case. This was agreed to, rind Murphy's examination was set down for 10 o‘clock tomorrow morning. BROWN’S C is!) CON'I'thED. Placed Under emu to Appear for 'l'rlnl Next Wednesday. The ilaviland street court room was well filled with the young friends of liobcrtzl. ilrnwn when he was ushered into the presence of Justice liurrctt, by Chief of Police Vollmer. at 4 o’clock yes- terday afternoon. The complaint, charg— ing the young man with obtaining,undcr fulselprctences from Edward Quittner, by means of a worthless check.“ told in Tun Ssxrmsi. yesterday. was read to him by}; Prosecuting Attorney Taylor. but he was not formally put topics. Young Brown’s aged grandfather, Da- rius Fancher, was appointed his guar- dian by the justice, the prisoner being but eighteen years of age. The case was then continued for one week. and Brown was placed under $200 bonds for his ap- pearance at that time. His grandmother, Mrs. Fancher. became surety in that sum. It is understood that Mr. Quittuor has no desire to press the casein“! “will probably besettlsd without trial.

A Reception and flop in his Honor at the Fort Griswold ' Rouse—Notes from a Staff Correspondent on the Tented Pn- rade Ground. (Special correspondence to Tun San-riser.) CAMP BRADLEY, NIANTIC, August 16. 1894 —Major Babcock, of Washington, who is detailed by the war department to inspectConnecticut troops at the en- campment. commended the Fourth regi- ment sentinels, last night, for their efficiency and knowledge of their duties. After examiningahout one-half of them he said from what he saw it was unnec- essary to inspect the rest of them. The general work of the troops in this en- campment has been exceptionally satis- factory. Both the officers and the men have shown an interest in their duties, and an intelligent per- formance of them never be- fore surpassed. After getting fairly quartered they all settled down in a soldierly way to the routine of duty, and have since shown as little shirking and effort to avoid work as have character- ized any of the other regiments. A school of an hour for the instuction of all commissioned officers of the regiment has been held each afternoon, after din- ner, by Colonel Frost, at his headquar- ters. There have been no absentees from attendance except by officers detailed on active duty at the time the school was held. Criticism on the work of the regi- ment. the execution of movements, the performance of ceremonies and the gen- eral drill and iiicipline have been had, and the discussion of various points, par- ticularly those in doubt or dispute, have been made to the advantage of all inter- ested. There is much talk again this year of Brigadier General Haven resigning, and of his being appointed. provided a Re- publican governor is elected, to the allies of assistantadjutant general. in such event his successor would be one of the colonels of the brigade. Colonel Doberty, of the Second regiment, is the senior. but he has made the statement that he intends to resign immediately after camp. The next in rank is Coloney Frost, of the Fourth, who entered the Fourth from civil life as a first lieutenant in Company ,D. South Norwalk. and was soon afterward elected captain,and on the retirement of Colonel Skinner, be- came colonel, January 5, 1892. Governor Luzon B. Morris, comman- der-in-chief of the Connecticut National (luard, arrived here late yesterday after» noon, and was escorted to the vamp ground by his staff and the 'rd regi- ment. Thursday and Frill y ‘ will be gala days for the brigade. n he for— mer day a party of oilic cm the cruiseriltalunta. which is now bearing the Connecticut Naval Reserve, will be in camp, and the evening will be devot- ed to arcccption and hop that has been arranged by the management of the Fort Hriswold House. A steam launch is to take a party from Niantu- to New Lon- don. The following Fourth regiment officers took cxarninnlions before the board in camp: Major Wilbur S.

Belts, Company D: First Lieu- tenant William H. Ackley, Second Lieu- tenant Spencer 1. Woodworth. of Com- pany 1; Second Lieutenant John ll. Chase, of Company 1“. Of this number Lieutenants Wood worth and Chase failed to pass, and it is probable they wiilbe honorably discharged from theservico. Captain (iilbort L. Fitch. of Company C.

The genial quartermaster de- monstrated his ability to enter- tain his guests most royal- ly. He gave a bass solo, and alto participated in a duett with Minuet Surgeon Cowell. Charles Travis, Major Sheridan’s valet, sang several solos and gave fancy dances, and a trio from Com- pany C, Privates Haddock and Scofleld, mandolins, and Private Miller, guitar, rendered many very enjoyable selections. The affair was ahuge success. Comptroller Staub. State Treasurer Sanger, and Commissary General J stale- son were guests of Colonel Frost. at his. headquarters, last night. Colonel Coe, of Danbury. a well- known militiamen, has been the guest of Captain Cornell, of the quartermaster’s department. and the Fourth regiment officers.

He is a regular army officer, having served as first sergeant for five years. He attracted the stten~ tion of all in the regiment by the “snap” with which his duties were performed. ills parolling of the heat was done with a stop about twice as quick as the ordi~ nary private, and his salute and call for the orderly were. after the regular army tactics.
