lads by also rim...
Fortho past week or ten days there has
been a constant shortage in the tilla at
flayas’ :meat market. on North Main
rm The cause was not discovered
' til yesterday noon. when two little
girls. not yet twelve years of age. were
caught in the act of robbing the money
drawer. in which Charles Hayes. a son
of the proprietor. keeps the money for
his butterine sales.
[On Thursday young Mr. Hayes left the
attire and went up town. When he came
back he missed two one dollar bills.
They could not be accounted for, and
Mr. Hayes and Edward Fantoc. a clerk
atthe market, set a trap to catch the
thieves. Mr. Hayes' money was put in
his father’s cash drawer in the cashier's
dock, andlifty cents in change was put
in the other draw. The little girls were
suspected‘from their suspicious actions,
I. for the reason that they always chose the
noon-hoarse the time to“ hang around
. the market. They came in as usual, yes-
tarday. and Edward Fanton left the store
to go into the back room. ostensibly to‘
‘ put on his butcher’s frock, telling the
‘_ girls to call him if anybody came in. He
then watched them, and saw one of the
little girls go to the till and open it and
take out the money. She then started
for the cashier’s desk, and was just going
‘. in there when Mr. Fanton called and
asked her where she was going. The
‘ she was obliged to show the money.
' little girl was cute enough to fall, and
looking up at Mr. Fanton. began to tell
him how she had hurt herself. He
asked her what she had/in her hand, and
At
first she denied stealing it,bnt finally gave
in and both confessed that they had been
stealing regularly for the past week or
more.
The brother of one of the girls has been
seen waiting for them several noor s, and
Mr. Hayes suspects that they were put
up to the theft by the brother. Their
names are withheld on behalf of the
parents. as when they learned of their
. children’s eecspade they went to Mr.
Hayes and ofiered tapettle the matter.
Charles Hayes estimates that he has
lost about $25, while there is also quite
a difference between the cash register
and the cashier's drawer. The matter
has been satisfactorily adjusted to suit
all parties interested.

Ten Dollars and a Nice Letter from l’rotty
Miss Stabl. the Actress.
Last Sunday morning. Ira Hoyt. son of
the manager of Hoyt's Theatre. found a
diamond earring upon the stage of the
theatre. I. M. Hoyt immediately sat
down to write to the "Men and Women"
company, which played here Saturday
night, apprisiug them of the fact, but
before he had an opportunity to mail the
letter one came from lilies Rose Stahl.
who, it will be remembered. played so
charmingly the role of Mrs Kate Dela-
field, stating that she had lost an earring
somewhere. she did not know whether
between the hotel and theatre or if] the
theatre, and asking Mr. Hoyt to adver-
tise and offer a reward for the return of
the gem. He at once sent her the letter,
telling her that one of the attaches of
the theatre had found it. This morning's
mail brought the following exceedingly
kind letter from Miss Stahl:
FINLADELI'MIA. Pa. November 16. 1894.
Mr. I. M. Hoyt—DEAR Sin: in am
very happy to know that my earring has
been found. Enclosed please find a post-
office order for ten dollars Give it to
the young man who found the stone and
tell him that the money is not all the re-
ward that he receives for his honesty.
for all through his life his manhood will
be enriched by it. I should like to know
his name and address. If you will bind-
ly send the stone by express to me you
will greatly favor me. Thanking you
exceedingly for your kind interest in this
matter, and with best wishes, believe me,
Very cordially yours.

Appear Before the Board with ‘lhslr
“00—. Bamehslraaoo from the Alth-
Ialooa haguo. of Stamford.
Johp Malone and Carl Schaub. repre-
senting the Norwalk Liquor Dealers' aa-
sociatlon, went to Newtown. lest even-
ing. to have a personal interview with
County Commissioner Houlihan regard-
ing the reduction of the license fee.
When the liquor dealers found, yester-
day afternoon, that the County Commis-
sioners were ohdurate. they weakened.
and some of them said they intended to
pay $400 and take out their licenses,
while others will probably remain obsti-
nate. The liquor dealers ,who thus rei-
fuse are liable to arrest and punishment
for selling without a license, should the
prosecuting agent see fit to prosecute.
Mr. Malone had a long discussion. this
morning, with McMahon and Wren.
They thought they could do something
for the Norwalk dealers if they would
hold off alittle longer. A large num-
ber of the Norwalk dealers refused. how-
ever.
The board mat in police headquarters,
on Haviland street, this morning at 10
o’clock, and at once began to issue licen-
see. not one word being said about the
petition for a reduction of the licenses
from $400 to $300. It was evident that
the dealers uptown had further con-
sidered the matter. and finding that the
commissioners were determined not to
lower the licenses, at once concluded to
take them out. for the dealers at that
end of the town were among the first to
have their licenses granted.
While the Commissioners were making
them out. J. Dovovan, Jr.. of South Nor-
walk, entered the room, and being given
permission to address the board, said
that the newspapers. yesterday, contain-
ed a copy of a petition which was in cir-
culation, requesting the commissioners
toreduce the license fee. He said he
and other liquor dealers in this district
had nothing whatever to do with the pe-
tition and had not seen it. He was ‘one
of the oldest liquor dealers in town. hav-
ing been in the business twenty five
years, and he had never attempted to in-
tsfere with the business of the County
Commissioners. and did not desire to be
known as having tried to do so. lie did
not uphold the action taken by the deal-
ers, yesterday, and believed in abiding
by the decision of the Commissionersand
the law.
Full licenses were granted to the fol.
lowing persons: Michael Line, Edward
Qiiittner,Joaeph Mathres, Jr., John H.
(iormley, Charles H. Tuttls. John O.
Sullivan, Jacob Linxweiler. Michael

The commissioners this morning re-
ceived the following communication
from i). ii. Preston Wilcox, president
of the Anti-Saloon league, Stamford:
To ”in ('(iiitririssi0i1.er.v of Foirjir’ld
(.'0lllif”: In the name of our league I
wish to enter a protest against the re
ductlou of (color license to sell spiritu-
ous and intoxicating liquors in i‘airfleld
county on the ground of the moral wel-
fare of the communit. We want lees
saloons, not more, am on the ground of
increased taxes, which we seek to avoid.
Therefore we respectfully petition that
your body shall not decrease the amount
of license fee.
Bridgeport Dealers.
Yesterday afternoon the Liquor
Dealers’ association. of Bridgeport, met.
At the conclusion of the meeting, which
was lengthy, President T. M. Murphy
said the members were very angry
because the commissioners had refused
toreduce the license fee. and voted to
leave no means“ unspared to have it
reduced. Members were referred to as
being unable to pay 3400 license. and
their fellow members thought that these
should be considered. Mr. Murphy says
that a petition similar to the Norwalk
petition will beprepared and presented
to the board. Nevertheless the associa-
tion does not believe that the com-
missioners will retire from their action
in Norwalk. The time for granting
Bridgeport licensee is not until next
May. ltlsprobabla, although there is
a strong feeling among them in that
direction now. that then the Bridgeport
dealers will not pursue the tactics of the
Norwalk dealers in refusing to take out
llcenase._ ..-...........-.-w_,-__.
