had been continued one week, and many
of Brown’s friends had evidently made a
memorandum of the date, for the court
room was well filled with boys of about
his own age. The justice gave the young
man a short but very pointed lecture,
telling him that,on account of his youth-
fuiness and his family connections, Mr.
Quittner was not inclined to press the
case, but wanted to give him another
chance. He advised him to mend his
ways and never be caught in such a
scrape again. Justice Barrett told Brown
that, while his crime was one subject to
a heavy penalty and imprisonment, he
would under the circumstances make the
fine but Wand coste,amounting to $14.11.
This amount was paid by the young
man’s grandfather, Darius Fancber.

John Welch, employed by Contractor
H. H. Brown on the four-tracking im-
provements in the railroad out below
South Norwalk, was brought up from
the lockup by Officer Gladstone just be,
fore young Brown's case was called, to
answar to a charge of drunkenness.
“Guilty, your honor," said Welch,
when the warrant was read to him,
and than be commenced a voluble speech
pleading with the justice to be lenient:
as it was the first time. he said, he had
drank anything in thirteen years, and
was afraid he would Iosebhis job if he
was sent to jail. The prisoner drew 3330
pay the other day and went on a de~
bauch, and was insanely drunk when ar-
rested yesterday morning. He talked
sowildly in court that the justice told
him he evidently was not then sober-
Justice Barrett imposed a fine of $1 and
costs, which Welch obtained from a
friend and paid, then went to Rowayton.

as quickly as possible, taking the first
train for New York city.

There were. two cases in Justice Ed-
ward Barrett‘s court this morning.
George, better known as Lean Sherwood,
was arrested on a charge of vagrancy,
numerous complaints having been made
to the police of late about him. He was
sentenced to sixty days in the county
jail. Matthew Thompson was fined $1
and costs for drunkenness, which he paid.

- Patrick Corcoran. charged with burg-
‘ larizing James H. O'Reiily’s saloon, at
‘ Wardand Harriet streets, was tried up

town, yesterday afternoon, before J ustics

Rubbed. Corcoran pleaded not guilty.
O’Reilly was placed on the witness
stand. He testified that he found Caron.
. ran lying stupid drunk in the lane near
Michael Sheedy's residence, with 9. Quart

, harbottle in his pocket. He identified

the bottle as one of those stolen from his

. , saloon. Michael Sheedy testified that

he found Corcoran lying drunk on his
land, and picked him up. In answer to
a question from Mr. Corcoran, in his
own defense. Mr. Sheedy said he saw no
bottle. At this juncture Jeremiah Cor-
coran asked for a chanceto procure coun-
sel for his son. He said fraud had been
attempted to prove him guilty of a charge
of which he was innocent. Attorney
Walsh. who appeared for the state, sug-
gested that the case be adjourned until
this morning at 10 o’clock. Mr. Corco-
ran secured the services of Attorney E.
M. Lockwood to defend the prisoner.
The case opened this morning with
O'Rsilly again on the stand. He said, in
, ' addition, that he found the bottle on the
prisoner after he had carried him
to his saloon, before he sent for
Chief Bradley to arrest him. After
some further testimony, Attorney
Iockwood commenced the cross-exami-
nation. O'Rielly said he was the pro-
prietor of a saloon as agent, but declined
to give the name of the real owner of the
place. He said he simply assisted the
prisoner into the wagon; that Corcorau
objected to go with him, and he took
him by the neck and made him go, as he
had the impression that he had the right
to arrest him. [Is said he simply detain-
ed the prisoner, but did not consider
that he had arrested him. He said he
found the bottle inside of Corcoran‘s
trousers, between them and his under»
clothing. He did not notice it when he
first picked it up. He testified that the
prisoner had on the same clothing. At-
torney Lockwood then asked the prison~
or to put the bottle down in his trousers.
The prisoner tried to do so, but the bot-
tle was apparently too large to go where
O'Reily said he found it. He did not re~
member saying anything abbot the
bottle to the chief of police.
Michael Sheedy was oross-examim 1.
He stated that be found the prisoner
asleep on his property early that morn-
ing and did not see any bottle on his
person or the signs of any. The state
than rested and the prisoner and Chief of
Police Bradley were sworn. for the dc-
fense. Corooran said the first time he
saw the bottle was when it was lrouglit
into court and introduced as evidence
yesterday afterncoo. [is said that when
he was placed in the wagon U'ltcilly
pulled out a club and told lilui that if he
did not get into the vehicle he would kill
him, as be had got the prOpH' authority
to arrest him. lie was slightly intoxi-
cated, be said, having procured the ill]-
uor at O‘lteilly‘s residence, on Cooler
avenue, Sunday night. On the cross or
amlnaiion he said he did not threaten to
prosecute O’Reilly for the illegal sale of
liquor if he did not let up on him. ills
recollection of what was going on that
morning, before he was arrested, was
not very clear, but he said he met Daniel
Gantloy and Ed. Couk ncur Mr.- Slicody's,
but had not been off with them. its ud-
mltted that he was drunk and had laid
out all night, and that his companions
were drunk. Chief of i’ollco llrudloy
testified that he went up to investigate
the robbery and was informed by O'fteil-
17 that be had heard'of a number of fel—
lows being drunk in the lots and that he
had captured Corcoran. The chief stat-
ed thnt Coworiin protested his inno-
cence; that O‘ltoilly went over the testi-
mony against the accused, but said noth~
ing about the bottle, and the first time he
saw it was in court yesterday after-
noon. Corcoran, be said, positively
refused to say anything about the case.
Jeremiah Corcorau said O’iteflfy sent for
him and wanted him to have the boy

asked for a conviction and that the

WILL KILL HIMSELF.
Curl flolm Says he is only Living for "is
Mother‘s Sake.
The following appears in the New York
World. The writer is a former resident
of South Norwalk:

lam at present forced to live against
my inclination, out of consideration for
an aged mother. If tomorrow a letter
should inform me of her death I would
not hesitate to end this more than miser-
able condition, under which I am vegeo
rating from day to day, actually hunger-
ing, dying by inshes, sick, without the
meanstoprocure aid, and now, at the
age of forty»nine, finding myself excluded
from earning my sustenance because eni-
ployers prefer young, inexperienced men
to men of my age and experience.

Since July 1, 1893. l have actual] had
fifty-twu days' work! What little pos-
sessed of personal property is today in
the pawnsbop, and mighty small hope I
have of over redeeming it, My wife died
after thirteen months in child-bed: the
child. it girl, was saved,only to die, at the
age of thirteen years and five months,
last Door-mlwr. and if Christian charity
had not interfered, her body would to-
duv rest in u paupsr's grave.

Three months after my wife's dcmli
lightning struck my home while I was
away at u toachers‘ convention at Ile—
troit. and when I returned at night noth-
ing was left but a pile of ashes. a broken
stove and a second-hand chimney. As I
lived in the woods,l had no insurance
on my home itflil lost everything

That night would have been my last on
earth if i could have found a piece of
rope, but the fire didn't even leave me
that much. I went to my Ifllllef-lfl‘lilw’rl
house, and when I looked upon that in-
nocent baby, sleeping so tranquili , us if
there was nothing in the work called
trouble or cars, l coocludul to live for
her and work for her, and have done it
to the bust of my ability ever since.
Now she is gone. too, and i have no one
.1 can live for, no one to take any interest
in except my old mother. tilts is very
sickl and can't live long. When she
dies will follow.

My father died by his own hand. if
he committed a sin, 1. his only son, will
do as liodld. If he suffers for his deed,
I will suffer with him. I water going to
hell with my hitherto go rig to heaven
without him.

(l'ol. Ingersoll is right, as he always is,
in my opinion; there are times in which
the law and the prophets don't amount to
shocks. if a person reaches the condi-
tion that he has nothing more to live for
let him die, die and do it quickly. He
will ne'er be missed.

The damage caused by the fire in the
chimney at Spencer C. Horton's grocery
store on Beldsn avenue, yesterday after-
noon,asreporisd in Tun brzsrmm. last
evening, was very slight. The heat
cracked the plaster in one of the rooms,
and the neighbors, in extinguishing the
flamssyirnocked down a portion of the
fine. The fire at one time was quite
fierce and a large quantity of salt was
used to extinguish the llamas. , The

 

promptness of the fire department is
highly commended.

CRANBERRY PLAINS TEMPLARS
GIVE A LAWN PETE.

 

 

The Premises of David 'l'lnekler any
With flags, Bunting. Chinese lanterns
and lidnbreilaa—J Fragramme of luslc
That'l’leued the large Ittnndanca.

There was a scene of merriment last
night, at the residence of David Tinckler.
in Cranberry Plains. The dooryard and
porch were handsomely decorated with
flags, bright colored bunting, Japanese
lanterns and umbrellas. It was the oc-
casion of a lawn feie given by Washing-
ton hodge, I. O. O. F. From almost
every window shone a light, making the
scene as picturesque as possible. Oh ac-
count of the chilly atmosphere. most of
the exercises were held indoors. the
rooms being filled to the utmost
capacity with people from this and sur-
rounding towns.

The programme consisted of singing by
a quartettecomposed of Richard Taylor,
Charles Moore, James Gordon, of Nor-
walk, and Sylvester Burton, of Gran-
berry Plains; music by the South Nor-
walk Banjo club; cornet solo by Mr.
Shepherd, of Westport; singing by quar-
totte: music on the violin and guitar by
Messrs. St. George and Sweats, of South
Norwalk; singing by children; piano solo
by Mrs. Frank Tweedy, of Brooklyn; cor-
net solo by Mr. Shepherd: singing by
quartette; music by Messrs. Sweats and
St. George; singing by children: music
by Banjo club; singing by quartette;
music by Messrs. French; singing by
quartette; music by Banjo club; piano
solo by Mrs. Frank Tweedy; singing by
quartette.

The singing by the quartetto was the
best that has ever been heard by the
people of Cranberry Plains, and the sing-
ers responded nearly every time, with
one more song, to repeated applause.
The piano for the quartette singing was
efficiently played by Mrs, Richard Tay-
lor. The music by theiilanjo club was
greatly appreciated, the comet solos by
Mr. Shepherd were excellent, while the
piano solos by Mrs. Tweedy were well
played. The violin and guitar. played
by Messrs. St. George and Sweats pro—
duced as fine music as the people of the
Plains have heard in a long time.
All did well and deserve much praise.

The candy stand, presided over by
Misses Emily Englchart and Helen
Adams, was well patronized, and the
lodge will not it good sum from the
affair. .... ‘ .-

When Joseph ll. Wakeman, clerk at
L. I“. Slicrwood‘s grooery store. in South—
port, unlocked the door at fl Tuesday
morning, a scene of confusion met his
gaze. (in every hand were strewn

money, cigars and groceries to the
amount of about $25 had llt'f'fl taken. A
broken pane of glass showed how an en-
trance had been effected and the goods
had been carriedof'f. The thieves, while
evidently novices, had the good sense to
cover up any clue to their identity, and
both Mr. Sherwood and his clerks are
nonplusscd us to who they may be.
Many who visited Mr. Sherwood‘s store
are of the opinion that the job was the
work of some person or persons conver-
aulit with the location of the money
drawer, and that the yxirpcirutors were
residents of the village. As the store
stands in rather an isolated spot, it
would be an easy matter to force on on.

of possible pnsscrs.

Nothing lint Holes in the around.

There is nothing left at Camp Bradley
now but a lot of holes in the ground.
The time of taking the tents down this
year broke the record. Between the
hours of l and 3 o’clock Saturday after-
noon all the funding was in the store‘
house and between the latter time and
Monday afternoon all the tents were fold-
ed up and put away. The holes in the
ground are the callers or ice boxes of the
boys, where they kept their wet goods
cool for the entertainment of their
friends. The hole would be covered by a
trap door cut in the floor of the tent, and
the men in the quartermuter’s depart-
ment have all the doors to repair before
they are stored away.

LAST NIGHTS FIRE.

The Department Called Out to lathgulah
a Blane in.”- lnringwnod Beau.

A slight firs occurred last night, about
9:45 o’clock. in the house at the corner of
Benton and Hoyt streets, Springwood,
which is owned by the Lewis Raymond
estate of Wilton.

There are two Hungarian families in
the house, the first floor being occupied
by Joseph Sostas, and the upper part by
Andrew Sabo. It was in the apartments
of the latter that the blaze originated.
It was caused, it is presumed, by the
chimney becoming overheated, setting
fire to a mattress on the floor close to it.
An alarm was turned in from Box 23,
and the department responded. As soon
as water was turned into the boss
the gate at the hydrant broke,
and by the time this was reme-
died the flames had been about extin-
guished with pails of water in the hands
of the residents. ,

Little damage was done to the house,
the fire only breaking out in two or three
places in the roof. The damage to the
house and contents will perhaps amount
to $25 in each case, and the losses are
covered by insurance.

 

WHERE CRABS ARE PLENTII‘UL.

large Quantities Caught In the Pond of
Sherwood‘s Tide-Mill at Oompo.

Crabs are plenty in the pond of the
tide mill at Sherwood’s island. The island
is formed by a narrow gut running from
the Sound at the east of the pond and a
road from the Green's Farms district
leads toand crosses the gut. Indeed, that
is the only way the island can be reached.
Residing on the island are Arthur Sher-
wood, ex- Representative Moses Sherwood
and John Elwood and their families. It
is a beautiful spot, isolated, yet close by
the world‘s activities. Over the gut
stands what is known as ”Gallows Gap"
bridge, upon which, when the tides are
right, large quantities of crabs are caught
by the. use of a line, bob am net, two
persons being required to do” the catch-
ing. The way to have a deal, gpod easy
time with the crabs is to be at the pond
when the dumb gates are opened and
wait until the game flows out in a body.
The gates are liable to be opened at any
time without notice, and it is said people
get a notion once in a while to if iclr
down there in the hope to be on hand at
such it juncture.

l is Being Pushed Now—A Bthpdnughter
Fails to Serve a Summons.

An order made by J udgs§Frsedman in
the Superior Court in New York, for the
service by publication in a divorce suit
upon John W. Haddock, reveals a some-
what sensational story, in which the ef-
forts of a young woman, Jessie W. Al:
ling. to serve divorce papers upon a man
well-known in Dorian, who,it is claimed,
married her mother twenty~slx years
ago, plays a conspicuous part. The
story, briefly told by the Stamford Advo
cute, is that a woman whose husband
had died in Canada, leaving her a small
estate and two children, met a Mrs. Had-
dock in September, 1867, who told her
she owned a farm on the Hudson, be-
tween Tarrytown and Sing Sing, and
would let the widow live there if she
would take care of it, In the house was
John, a strapping fellow of twenty-six,
who, the complaint says, was wild, stub-
born, lazy and quarrelsome. He
was Mrs. Haddock’s stepson, and
the accounts of him she gave to
the widow caused her to dislike him, so
that, in a few days after she took up her
abode in the house, she refused John's
proposition of marriage. John braced
up. became cheerful and industrious,
and it is claimed that she married him
on June 4, 1868, in New York. John in-
duced her to keep the marriage secret in
order that he might get a deed of the
farm, and to retain her first husband's
name. She moved to New York, where
he visited her one night. He appeared
downhenried, said his father had refused
to give him the farm,and ran away,
leaving her standing in the street. life
consin told her in 1874 that he was on a
ranch near San Antonio and would re-
turn if she would promise not to have
him arrested. lie called on her the
following Christmas, said he would see
her the next doy,but he never came
back. She says his relatives used their
influence to keep him from her because
they wanted him to marry “Farmer
llunt's daughter," and that a man came
from her husband's folks and offered her
$2,000 if she would compromise herself
so that he might get a divorce. She
ordered him from the house, and for
years was annoyed by detectives. IIer
father-induw died in 1591, leaving one-
sixth of his estate to her husband, to go
to his children should he die. She em~
played lawyers to bring divorce proceed-
ings, but he could not be found. She
learned that on December fl, 1881, a di-
vorceiiad been granted to him in this
state on the ground of donation, and
that he married Miss llunt. She then
engaged (ioll‘ & Pollock to sue for divorce,
and her daughter sought him in Nanuit,
Itockland county, Sing Sing and button.
A few months ago she met him in an
office in New York, wherosbo represented
herself as a book canvassrr. She did not
have the summons with her, and made
an appointment to inn-t him first day,

but llil’ did not keep it.
Readers of this paper will remember

that Mr. and Mrs. Haddock created a
great deal of gossip suwrul months ago,
in Ilnrien, by their dorm-silo inf'elicities,
and figured more or less ill the courts,
Mrs. Haddock claimed tliit iii-r linsliand
drove llt'l‘ out of dim and at various
times illqisml her.

There were proceedings in the jiuticei’
courtsiu llurieii in the nature of corn-
plulnts against Haddock for lustlllli and
non-support, in which the loan was
found guilty and look appeals to the hu-
perior Court and the (‘ourt of t’ommon
Pleas.

Later, while Mr». liaddork was living
in the house of one of the neighbors,
Haddock, through his counsel, Judge N.
t}. Downs, of Stamford, brought suit for
divorce on the ground of intolerable
cruelty. Close on the heels of this came
acrossebillnnbchnlf of Mrs. lliiddocli,
suing for divorce on the some ground.
Mrs. lladdoclr's counsel was the lion.

From the divorce petitions it appears

that they were married in ilrierclifl’, N.
kl, in March, 1882, (three months after
the'allegerl divorce was granted) by” the
rector of an Episcopal church. The
wife’s name is given as Emmelins Iiuiit_

daughter of Isaac Hunt.
The divorce suits were withdrawn after

a while, and so were all the other legal
proceedings. The last heard of the Bad.-
docks was that they were living in New
York, having moved from Darlen. They
were not domiciled in the same house,
but Mr. Haddock, it is said. has been
friendly with tier, calling upon her once

MAKES MURE WORK.

 

The New Tariff Bill will Increase Collec-
tor fllnnn's Duties.

The new tariff bill will, when in force,
make decided changes in the work of the .
internal revenue department in this di-
vision of the Connecticut district. and in-
crease to a considerable extent the revs-
nue of the office.

Until a short time ago the deputy revs
enue collector of the division had ,
among his other duties, upon visiting a
wholesale liquor house, that of stbmping
with the government stamp all barrels
of liquor after they had left the hands of
the rectifier. A change in the law made
this work devolve upon the wholesaler.
In the future, however, this work will
be a part of the duties of Deputy Collec-
tor Thomas Langdon.

A more radical change of affairs, how-
ever, will result in the work of Collector
E. N. Sloan, of Norwalkl The duty of
two cents on every pack of playing cards
while the county will be collected by
him. This will necessitate a personal
canvass of every city, town and borough
throughout the county and a visit to
every merchant dealing in playing cards.
This tax will add greatly to the revenue
of the department and impose much ex-
tra work on the officers. When the in-
come tax goes into effect next July ad-
ditional duties will fall upon Collector
Sloan, who will also have the collection
of that tax under his care. It may be
found necessary to add to the present
force of officials in the internal revenue
office to trans lot the business of the
government as increased under the new
bill.
