When Caleb Wood. of East Norwaik, returned home last Sunday from a cruise down East with the Volunteer Yacht inset without a mate. His wife had “thins, taking with her a few of her belongings. consisting of household fur- iture. dishes and wearing apparel, and p t is very probable that divorce proceed- logo will be the sequel of her going way. .In girlhood lira. Wood was Minnie Boating, and her pleasant rotnnd face toftoday indicates that she must have "hesuavillage belle oi Bediord, N. Y., where she was born. it is not strange that Andrew Morgan became smitten with her-charms and married her soon after she had budded into womanhood. Their wedded life was of short duration, 3 however, her husband dying within two years after their marriage. A few years ’. later Mr. Wood, who was a brave soldier Rhona member of Company G, of the' Tenth. connecticut Infantry. and who sacrificed one of his arms in the service 1 of his country. won the heart of the ,: pretty widow Morgan, and they were married in 1869. Their wedded life, for the-first few years. was as calm and serene as the untroubied sen. Then. it ‘ seems. clouds began to dim the matri— monial horizon. which grew as years . rolled by. and finally culminated in the presem turbulence. lire. Wood kindly received a Sunset. reporter last evening. at the home of her ,_ brother, Augustus Ganung, on Belden avenue, where she is staying, and told , him of her troubles. lira. Wood says she is fifty~live years of age. but she would pass muster among the "fair, fat and forty.” "For twenty-three year's,"'said lira .wood with considerable vehemence. as she wiped the tears away from her eyes, “my life has been a perfect hell; my husband has done everything but beat me, and what I have sufiered in silence no one knows. "The beginning of the trouble was my husband's attentions to my brother’s wife, which covered nperlod of twelve years, and which resulted in breaking up “ bisfamily. loverlooked that and for- 3 gave him, but since that time other things have come up which I cannot overlook. He has a fiery temper and is very jealous, while I am slow to anger, but when once I become mad.I am a determined woman.” When asked what was the immediate cause of their aeparation.Mrs. Wood said it was of a private nature, which she did not care to discuss. . In regard to a report that she had , stripped the house of furniture when she L left, lire. Wood said she only look a bureau, a wash-stand. four chair frames. Y ailof which her sister gave to her, a feather bed, a dripping pan and steamer, paid for by money which she had earned herself. besidesaset of dishes given to has by the Douglas Fowler Woman’s Re- llstorps, of which she is a prominent member. ’ Ir.

He called tones her yesterday. and tried to induce her to return to him, making allsorls of promises. but Mrs. ' Wood said she had determined never to a live with her husband again. ‘ It is understood that Mr. Wood an- i noses his wife of being too familiar with ' «hummus oi them being Edward ' lollies. olzths Soldisra' Home. a brother of the lamented Colonel Douglas Fowler. and who at one time boarded at Ilr.

Avallahle Bearer—Under Badlnllusncs. The bright and intelligent faces of two little girls attracted the attention of a large number of spectators in the court room at Norwaik. last night. They were Jessie and Annie Anderson. aged ten and five years, children of Prof. and lira. Francis Anderson; Anderson is a so. called music teacher, who is either play- ing in very hard luck or is an. indolent fellow, which the evidence in the case will show. - . V The quartetlc were in court upon come plaint oi the selectmen, who asked for an investigation as to whether the chil- dren were being properly brought up 'or were taught to lead idle and vicious lives. lira. Andaman and the little ones were caught stealing at the New York Grocery store, Saturday night, and this brought the authorities to a sense of duty. In court it was shown that in the. home oi the Andersons the in- fluence was none of the best. while it appeared that the parents had impos- edupou the charity oi Norwaik’s best people, the churches, clergy, and town authorities. Selectman Raymond testified that the town had fully supported the family for two and one half years and there was no need of them asking for outside help. He said the children roamed the stream when they‘sbouid have been in school, ' and complaints had come to him about their begging and stealing. Dr. R L. Higgins expressed some sym. .pathy for the woman. He said she had worked for him. He had heard corn~ piaiuls of the children being beaten, and had seen them around with a dissolutc looking woman. who, to his personal knowledge, was teaching them to bag and steal. The doctor referred to the woman as the »‘ connecting link between a human being and the animal king- dom.” He said he had seen them cut all hours of the night. He thought the family was worthy until he was imposed upon. Anderson, hs continued, came to him, begging him to ask the selectmen to help him. He called upon the authoriv ties and found that the man was getting more help than any other family in town. Anderson remarked to the doctor when asked why he didn’t work, “If I 'can't get work at my profession. I will beg." Captain oi Police Dann told substan' tially the same story as the other wit- nesses, adding that he had sent Ander- son home when he had seen him around the streets drunk with his two little girls, and they had toarfnlly asked him not to arrest their papa. Truant Oilloer Hunt said his attention had been called to the children roamin g about the streets and he had received complaints from the storekeepers on Belden avenue about their stealing. Their home was poverty-stricken in ap- pearance and it was a mystery to the ofilcsr where the money the family re- ceived went to. . Fred Smith and Jesse Brnndage testi— fied that the children had come into their markets begging, while the father and sometimes the bag would wait out- side. Ollicor Morehouse told the same story as the rest. adding that Anderson was an lruposter of theworst kind. He in- formed the court that at the same time Rev. 8.11. Watkins, of Grace church, was paying rent for the Audersons, the father sent the children down and tried to get Rev. Father Slocum to baptize thousand take them into the Catholic church. Father Slocum found out the true facts and ordered him out of the house. , liansgsr Lyon. of the New York store. told how the children were caught steal- ing for the mother at his store. Saturday night, and about .hls having the woman P. H. Dwyer instilled that Anderson had come into his place of business and ascorsd music books for alleged pupils. saying he would bring in the money. He had not seen him since. The Andersona has but little to say, but denied a few statements The pro. lessor said that this week he had some messed an employment that would pay hits ten dollars a week. Judge Bobtail suspended misses oo- tii he could confer with the salesman about the disposition of the children. Ir. Anderson wasalao in court under “formal Hisesas' * soul incriminating tune on it.

With Ill. Hoyt’s aid a window was forced open and the doors unlocked. The rooms were filled with smoke. which was beginning to penetrate the entire house. . ' Windows were at once raised and the work ill locating the fire began. It was found in a closet, wheres large quantity of clothing was hung up. The gas had been left burning and the jet had been turned back towards the wall. The clothing wught firs ands large quantity of it, valued at $200, wadestreysd. The flames had. made considerable headway and were extinguished with considerable difiiculty. as the smoke was dense and nearly overcame those present. The young ladies showed great tact and presence of mind, and were a first-class bucket brigade in themselves. After the flames were extinguished it was found that the interior of the closet was burned considerably and thewalla oi the sleeping apartments smoked q uile badly. The damage to the house will amount to about $50. The loss is cover- ed by insurance through Cowies dc Mer- rill, of which,firm Mr. Cowlea is a mem- ber. ldr. and lira.

Hastings, of Bridgeport. who has been mentioned as co-reepondent in the divorce suit brought by George D. McKay, of South Norwalk. against his wife, Bertha Barcbard McKay, was the most surprised man in town, yesterday, according to the Partner. which says: "Ir.

As far as any improper relations ever having existed between them Mr. Hastings as- serts. and his claims are borne out by a number of prominent Bridgeportsrs, that lir. licKay was actuated by malice in connecting Ir. Hastings with the matter. His knowledge of the friendly feeling existing between his wife and Hastings. coupled with an intense dis- like which hehascberished against the latter for reasons not known to Hast- ings, are supposed to have actuated him in dragging lir.
