,i BULLET Ill HIS Bltll.
MAYNARD BISHUP SHOT WHILE
GATHERING WILD CHERRIES.
‘ Illlo Bill from In Unknown Source
Intern his Body Just Above the Left
Kidney, and Cannot be Found—Tho Boy
lowered to his Home in Brooklyn.
A peculiar shooting accident occurred
on Connecticut avenue yesterday after.
noon. Maynard Bishop, a len’year-old
boy who resides at 958 Yates avenue,
Brooklyn, has been visiting his uncle
and. aunt, Mr..and Mrs. Frank Brown,
58 Connecticut avenue, the past week,
and yesterday climbed up a wild cherry
tree growing alongside the highway to
gather some fruit. He was standing on
abranch, with his back 'turned toward
Cedar street, and Summerfield Tooker
was underneath him, just climbing up.
Suddenly there was a report and young
Bishop called out that he was shot. Mr.
Tanker jumped from the tree, at the same
time telling the boy to jump into his arms.
The lad jumped and was caught by Mr.
Tooker, who carried him into the house.
.Dr. C. G. Bohsunan was called and after-
ward Dr. W. C. Burke.
The bullet was undoubtedly shot from a
rifle. It struck Bishop in the back, just
over the left kidney, near the border of
ribs, tooka glancing course, and. it is
thought, lodged in the muscles of the
hack. Dr. Bohannan probed for the hall
to the depth of two and one-half inches,
but could not looate it, and it was
thought best to send the boy to his home
in Brooklyn, where, in case anything
serious should arise, he could go to a hos-
pital and have it attended to. Mrs.
Brown left with him on the4z20 train.
It is thought the shot was fired from
Cedar street, as there are several boys
from the city staying there and they
have a rifle. The physician does not
think the wound of a serious nature, un—
less inflsmmation or some unlocked for
complication sets in.
RECEIVED A SCAM-l.
Four Ladies Caught Between the Gates
at the Crossing.
Four ladies who were crossing the
tracks at Main and Washington streets at
9o’clock last night, after the gates had
been lowered, had a scare which they
will not soon forget. Three of the ladies
were going toward the Mehackemo
Hotel, and had just reached the west
track when they encountered Mr. and
Mrs. Charles S. St. John coming from
the opposite direction. At that moment
the Boston express dashed around the
curve. Several men on the sidewalk,
among them Ollicer Gladstone, Oliver E~
Mumford and E. S. Laflin, saw the peril
of the party and shouted for them to get
off the track. Three of the ladies. Mrs.
St. John being among the number,
made a frantic dash for the South Main
street corner.and barely got out of the
way as the train flew by. Mrs. St. John
came in contact with the wire, and wmi‘
knocked prone upon the crouswaik. Her
husband hurried to her assistance, but
she was not injured. The fourth lady
stepped across the track to the West side
until the train passed. A fter regaining
their composure the United hurries away.

NOBWALK PASSES AWAY.
OI"
The Community Shocked by the Sudden
Termination of thaLIfe of a float Wor—
thy ’l'ownsmrsn—The Career of a Self-
Made and Upright lllan.
One by one Norwalk’s oldest and most
influential citizens are passing away.
Men whose sterling integrity and excel-
lent business qualifications have made
fortunesifor themselves and aided mar
terially in the growth and management
of our historic town and its affairs, are
now known of only in' history and by
their tombs. Within the past fortnight
two such have passed away to reap their
reward in the better land. We refer to
the late Martin 5. Crew and the beloved
Rev. S. B. S. Bissell. ' Norwalk is still
mourning her loss when called upon to
pay tribute to another‘s departure from
this world of strife to enter upon his
heavenly rest. He is a man we all
knew, honored and respected—Winfield
S. Moody. ,
Mr. Moody's death was exceedingly
sudden,and wasa shock to the com_
munity where he was known so well.
He had been a resident of Norwalk for
twenty-six years and was the wealthiest
of upper Norwalk’s citizens The de-
ceased was in the seventy-ninth year of
his age, having been born in the little
town of Unity, N. 11., October 23, 1815.
His father was a prosperous farmer and
he remained with him until twenty
years of age, when he went to New York
and started in the tea business, which be
practically conducted until his active re-
tirement from commercial life in 1861.
In 1865 he came to Norwalk and bought
the site of the present residence on East
avenue. In a short time he removed the
building on the grounds and erected the
present dwelling.
Mr. Moody was married in 1354 m the
only daughter of the lion. Amos i’cr-
kins, of his native town. He leaves
three sons. Winfield Scott Moody,Jr.,
editor of Scrilmer‘s Book Buyer; Joseph
P. Moody, of Syracuse, and Ralph
Moody, who resides at home. In Nor-
walk Mr. Moody‘s careful busmcss meth-
ods had made for him many friends. Ills
presence was familiar at all town and
city meetings, and he always urged
strict economy in municipal affairs.
Through his active interest in town and
city meetings taxes have been kept down,
as he was always oppdeed to more than a
ten-mill tax and found many ready sup-
porters aftcr he had taken the first step.
lie entered very but little into politics»
although he held the oflicc of water cum-
missioner several terms.
The dt ceased was largely interested in
real estate and amassed considerable of
his fortune by investments in realty in
New York years ago. He had v )Ildllltl’fl-
hie prowrty in that city, as well as in
Norwalk. He had bum president of the
liairlicld County Savings bank since 157%,
having been elected to that olllcc at the
same lllllf‘ that the late Martin S. l'ruw
was elected viccprcsidcnt. lie was also
a director in the National Bank of Nor
walk, and was a stockholder in a num-
ber of other local business enterprises
At the time of the reorganization of the
Norwalk Mills company, in l‘i'ii, ho was
called to the presidency and held that
otlicc until 1580, when he resigned, but.
still held his dirl‘ictorship and was a di-
rector al. the tinuI of his death. The mills
were very successful under his manage-
mcnttmd his connection with the corn-
pany was exceedingly pleasant to all his
associates. llec arried aim-go life insur-
nuec,there being $30,000 in one company,
breides other policies. Mr. Moody was
distinctly a self-made man. Of late years
he had led a retired life. He attended
(lraco church regularly and did much
towards its support.
llia health had lwen gradually failing
during the past year, but the end was
not entrusted soauddeuly. lie was up
town on Tuesday, but. not feeling well
on Wednesday he did not go out. Yes-
terday he was around, and after dinner
made the remark that ho would shave
himself. Twonty minutes later he had
peacefully passed away. He had no pain
and went through no suffering, yet his
death came so suddenly that it was a
severe blow to the family. and in their
bereavement they have the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community.
The funeral will be held Monday after-
noon at 0 o'clock, from the house.
Playing Card Stamps.
The internal revenue collector’s omcs
ordered 300,000 of the new playing card
stamps to be used in the collection of the
two~cmt tax per pack required by the
new tarzll act, but the department was
able to supply but 10,000, and those were
from the stockon baud left over from
before 1883, when cards were taxed.
This small number of stamps will not
meet. the demand of one jobber alone.

for would fill the entire demand. The

FAT MEN'S CLAMBIKE.
HEAVY WEIGHTS HAVE A SHOHE
DINNER AT HOTON.
The Big Case Passes into the lands of
E. A. Woodbard, who is Elected Presi—
dent of the Association—Jolly Patrick
Murphy the Leading Spirit.
It is almost a wonder that the great
amount of avoirdupois at Roton Point,
yesterday afternoon, did not cause the
popular resort to sink out of flight. The
occasion was the twenty-eighth annual
clsmbake of the Connecticut Fat Men's
association, and the combined weight of
the sixteen members present was 3,879
pounds.
‘At 2:30 o'clock the members and their
guests sat down to a table extending half
the length of the large hotel dining room,
and enjoyed a tempting and well-served
dinner, among the good things included
in the bill of fare being chowder, steam-
ed clams, bluefish, broiled chicken,swect
potatoes, white potatoes, green corn and
watermelon, and the way the food disap-
peared was a caution.
Following the feasting the business
meeting of the association was held. E.
A. Woodward, of South Norwalk, weight
225 pounds, was unanimously chosen
president. lie gracefully acknowledged
the honor in a brief speech, stating that
it was wholly unexpected, as he did not
know he had reached the status requisite
to become president, although he thought
he might be looked on as a sort of father
of the association, as he was in the legie
lature when the charter of incorporation
was applied for. i The representatives
from the rural districts were horrified at
the request. "Sanction such an organiz-
ation!" said they, "why the idea is pre-
posterous. Our constituents will think
us idiots." Mr. Womlward said
that he finally succeeded in calming their
fears, by telling them the real nature of
the propose-ll organization, and the
charter was finally granted. Mr. Wood-
ward then took the big cane and promis-
ed to carefully guard it until next year,
.when the probabilities are the. association
wrll again meet at the Point. The cane

dents of the society With their weight
