Parties Wanted for Stealing Jewelry.
Ella Hunt and Emma Shriven, two
well-known young women about South
Norwalk, became smitten with two mu-
sicians in the Bubb Comedy company’s
band, when they played in this city two
weeks ago.
This week the company is playing in
Danbury. and the girls received a letter a
few days ago from the men,staiing that if
they would go to that city. their expen-
ses would be paid. The girls lt it Monday
morning for that place, and last night,
as they were about to board a train to re-
turn to Scuth Nor-walk, they were placed
under arrest.
'It is understood that they were sus-
pected of being the two young women
who stole rings from A. G. Isling’s jew-
elrystore, Tuesday. The women first
entered the store of Rider, Bryant
& 00., and Mr. Bryant suspected
something wrong. After he left
the. store he at once gave their
description to F. L. Wilson, and
when the shopliftsrs entered the store
they were closely watched. One was de-
tected in not the of appropriating a ring.
She was allowed to go after returning
it. however. The crooks next visited
Mr. lsing’s store and were permitted to
inspect whatever they pleased. After
they had gone, it was discovered that
four rings had been stolen.
The police were notified and they
thought the South Norwalk young wo~
men were suspicious characters. An
officer invited them to accompany him to
police headquarters, ,while he went and
saw the jewelers. None of them had
any complaint to make against the young
women, however, and they were given
their liberty.

In many respects the exhibition sur-

ranged, and increased decorations heigh-
ten the whole effect.
The electric exhibit in the machinery

Berrrarkabie Oyster Catches.
The river at this place, writes an lia-
sex correspondent, has bren so low and
so salt during the last few months that
mill.f)na of small oysters have been de-
posited upon every object submerged.
This same phenomenon oceurrcd about
fifteen year ago, when the river was in
very much the same condition as at pres-
ent. The oysters were eventually killed
by fresh water. Oysters equal to the
famous “lllne l’oints“ have been taken
two miles bclow Essex. at Whntis known
as Calf‘s island Sound, and storil-s of
phenoliicnai catches am told. Captain
Gilbert Johnson,forlriorly of Calf's Island,
and now of ilssox, is authority for the
statement that hc has taken as many as
llflccn bushels of oyslcrs in a single day.
