Before it is completed. itis said. some startling disclosures will be made. The conspiracy was planned by an Italian women to secure possession other daughter. which for a long time has lived at the County Home in Nor- wslk. The mother secured the child. and at present has her safely hidden from the authorities. She secured its possession by false representations. fraud and forgery, and if she can be located a term in prison will probably be her re- ward. The story is told in detail by the Bridgeport Standard: A few years ago. Michael Wirgala came to this country and secured employ- ment in a factory in Bridgeport. Short- lyjafter he sent for his wife and child. They arrived in due time. but a change had come over the mother and from a once loving,devuted wife, she had chang- ed completely. Wirgala became dis- couraged. She had formed the acquain- tance of one she had learned to love bet- ter than her husband, while crossing on the steamer. and made no attempt to con- ceal the fact. Matters soon assumed a serious con- dition, and the two separated. The child was placed in the County Home until it could be properly cared for. The little one remained there until about two months ago, when the mother called on County Commissioner Mead and asked for it. She had secured a position in Brooklyn, and was well able to cars for it. She said she lived at 217 Fulton street in the. city, and had a good home to which to lake the child. Commissioner Mead believed the wt- man's story, but informed her that she must furnish proof of her statements. Mrs. Wirgaia returred to Brooklyn, promising to secure the desired docu- ments. A few days later. Mr. Mead re- ceivedaietter purporting to be signed by a notary public of Brooklyn. in which it was stated that Mrs. Wirgala wasareepectable woman and that the place. 217 and 219 Fulton street.wae in a good lor ility. The woman then return- ed for the child and the girl was turned over to her keeping. All of this might have gone well, had not the father still retained a . interest in his child. Recalled on the commie sienersafew days ago, and asked that he might have his daughter. [is intend- ed to return to his native country, and desired to take the child with him. When informed that the mother had so- cured it. he was nearly heart broken. He said the mother rabducted a hours of ill-fame in Brooklyn. end that the child would be mined. Commissioner Mead went to Brooklyn end made an investigation and found that the prem- ises, 217.219 Fulton street, were only a vacant lot. He could not locate the notary,'whose name was signed to the papers presented by Mrs. Wirgala. and came to the conclusion that the door- ment was a forgery. An effort is being made to secure the child and then turn her over to her father. m ‘ KNOB iilll'iliii BLllB. . Ilsa oraarse or us resort or asaoanr. err.

The entertainment and hail of the Gas- meuia Smegerbund. held last night in their belt on the Washington street bridge. wasaslergely attended as ever. and likewisaesgreate sneer-,tboth in excellence and financially. Heine's orchestra opened the p70- gramme with Schieppegrell's over- ture, “Reception." rendered in their usual artistic style, and were also heard during the evening in Donisetti's "Don Pasquale." The male chorus of the Ger- manies sang the "Smith‘s Song." by Lachner, and also a descriptive piece called the "Frog's Concert.” and Abt's “Evening Song." A feature of the con- cert was the appearance. for the first time, of the ladies' chorus of the Ger- manias, which gave a“Summer Night” song. by Kunts. and alsosang with the male chorus in Volksweise's “May Song." All the selections were well rendered and vociferously applauded, and again demonstrated the fact that as an instruc- tor and director Professor Kari Diebi has few equals. The bass solo. ”The Watch" (Loewe), by George Singer. was particularly gsod, and sharing the hou- ors with him was the tenor. Gustav Thieme. who sang Peichardt's ”I Knew an Eye.” Messrs. Henry Zirges. Gustav Friedrich and George Singer sflorded amusement in their one-act comedy, “The Buergschaft." The acting was very cleverly done. and the singing of an excellent character. The costumes and scenery were also very appropriate. The floor was then cleared for dancing, which continued until daybreak this morning. 8 ’ne's orchestra furnished music for dancing and R. W. Sweeney was 'prompter. Taken as a whole the atlsir was one of the most delightful in the history of the orgsnhation. The stsge was attractively set with palms and the ladies wore elegant lacquers Many of the costumes were beautiful. The officers of the society fully sustaia~ ed their reputation for hospitality. They are: President, Gustav Thieme; vice» president, Adam Schmidt; recording secretary, John Banks; financial secre- tary, Julius Deysenrotb; treasurer, Wil- liam C. Jesse.

Women‘s enthusiasm over bicycling grows space and more of Norwaik's fair ones are riding the silent steed than a casual observer would think. One of Norwalk's young lady riders remarked to a Srs'rtasr. reporter when asked what wm the correct costumes: “The thin women declare that long skirts look the but on the wheel. the shapely women vow that nothing goes except the short skirt with lrgginge.the bold woman says, ‘Ulve me hiccmers.‘ " Last season a few of our women bicyclist appeared in bloomers of a modest cut.
