Another auspicious mansion in the
history of the Germain flinging society
Was the . observance, last night,
of the tenth . anniversary of the
erection of, the society’s block on the
Washington street bridge. The celebra-
tion. an invitation affair, took place in
the hall, which was crowded to over-
flowing. The need of more room was
. very apparent, and it will be but a short
time before improvements, costing from
$3,000 tot-i,000, are began: They will
consist of an extension thirty feetin the
rear, which will enable. the stage to be
enlarged. and also admit of a new ante-
room. The building will be widened
twelve feet,~and the present enter-00m
in the front of the buildingwill betrans~
formed into ladies’ and gents’ dressing
rooms. The lower floor will be entirely
remodeled, admitting of apartments for
the janitor,.and also a larger dining-
room. The entire building will be steam
heated. ‘
At last night’s exercises an attractive
programme was rendered, including se-
lections by the Philharmonic orchestra.
The Arion Singing society sang Sch
moelzer's “Waldabendschien,” under
the leadership of Daniel Loeser, in so ar-
tistic a manner that an encore was
demanded, the response being “Fater
Kellermeister.” The Norwalk Ireider-
kranz were heard in Warner's "Trink-
lied," and were enthusiastically en-
cored, giving‘“Em Gesang," both selec-
tions being under Richard Vogler's di-
rection. Richard Noack, the well-
known baritone. sang “An der Weser,’
and was heartily applauded. The en-
“, tertainment concluded with the presen-
' tation of Kuntze's ,‘operetta “In the
Mountains," by the Germania $101130!-
bund and Lpdies’ society. The scenery
was especially painted by Artist
‘ Vaughn. of Norwalk, and represented
farm life 'in the ‘0. The principal
characters were taken as follows:
Casper Lebrecht. a farmer. George Singer
Hans. , Henry anges
Donner. an Austrian soldier. Diedrlch Hahn

The solo work of each participant
was excellent, as were also the duetts of
the diflerent artists. They were assist-
ed by a chorus of thirty voices. costum-
ed as farmers, whose singing was most
delightful, and denoted the careful
training the members had received from
Leader Dichl, under whose direction the
Operetta was presented. The chorus
was composed of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph

“ WHEEL CAPTUHED. TlllEF ESCAPED.
Aided by an Amateur Deleellvs the Police lie»
com I Bridgeporter’s Bicycle.
Word came to Chief of Police Vollm-
er, yesterday afternoon. from Bridge-
port, that s Hellicon bicycle, No. ‘2, had
been stolen from that city. The chief
spoke of the occurrence to. Loraine
Brown, of Washington street. who
started off to get track of the thief or
bicycle, if possible. He went as far as
Westport, but his quest being unsuc-
cessful, he returned. In Washington
street he met a wheelmau, arm they
began comparing notes. The stronger
said he was riding a Hellicon.-.
“Why,” exelaimed’Mr. Brown, “one
ofthat‘ make was stolen in Bridgeport
this afternoon.”
“I know it," said the stranger; “this
is the bicycle, and I paid $15 for it."
The two riders then went down South
Main street to Raymond, where the
stranger said he would have to turn
back. They returned as far as Hanford
place. Then the unknown dismounted,
and inquiring the way to the depot, said
he was tired of the wheel and would
turn it over to Mr.‘ Brown. The latter
tried to persuade the young man totake
the wheel to police headquarters, but
he evidently feared arrestv‘iin'd refused to
do do so. The young man scribbled off
the following lines in pencil and gave
them to Mr. Brown, together with the
bicycle: '
“I received this wheel from a man in
Bri .H
dgepo “FRED BLAIR,“
“012 West 14th St., N. Y.,
“157 Meadow street, New Haven.” '
Mr. Brown took the bicycle to police
headquarters, where he found ()iiioi-r
Pennington and turned it over to him,
with the remark that he thought the
thief was at the depot, waiting for the
6:20 train. The oiiicer hastened to the
station, reaching there sometime. before
the train came in, but the young man
was nowhere to be found, although a
careful search for him was made.
Officer Pennington then returned to the
centre and telephoned to Bridgeport
that the bicycle had been recovered. The
owner, Matthew Pickering, arrived in
South Norwalk on the next train and
claimed it. The wheel was standing in
front of the Bridgeport post-office when
stolen. ‘
Chief Vollmor took every precaution
tooaptnre the thief. Oflicers itinfrdnn
and Tuthiil were stationed near the
armory to intercept him, while the
chief and Officer Gladstone wont to the
Washington street bridge. The chief
had LeRoy Wheeler notify all the bicy-
clo dealers and every bicyclist he met.
The officers remained at their posts over
an hour, and then went home to eat. It
must have been but a fewnminntes after
that that the tlnef made his appearance.
Conferred the Mark Degree.
Supreme Commander John Bray, of
the Ancient Order Knights of the Mystic
Chain, paid a visit to Palestine Castle,
last night. The Mark degree was con;
fem-d on twenty-two candidates at a
session held in one of the parlors of the
Mahackcmo Hotel, and afterward an ad-
journment was taken to the lodge room.
where the Sir Knight degree was con-
fcrrod on three candidates. There was
a very large attendance of members and
a gmd re rcsentation from Pioneer
Castle, of orwalk. A tomptingooila-

passed until the time came for the vial-

« etc Great Industry—An Estimated 00f-
pai of 25,000,000 Gallons in rare.
Upon invitation of Charles 1". Mills
superintendent of the Standard Oil com
pany‘s plant at Wilson Point, tWO gen-
tlemen recently came to Norwalk 0
investigate the pumping of oil at th«
Point. They stated without any
reservation whatever that in pumping
350,000 gallons of oil there was an actual
ment was verified yesterday beyond any
possible doubt, by a Sentinel reporter,
who, it might be said, is the first reprer
sentativo of anewspapor to whom has
been accorded the privilege of inspect-
ing the plant.
‘ Norwalk people will remember what a
dreary waste lay a few years ago at thi
intersection of the Wilson Point road
and Ely avenue. It wasa muck swamp,
covered with nrankgrowth of vegeta
lion, and assessed in the grand list of
Norwalk for a few hundred dollars.
Todayan industry is cstablished’there
that isfivalaed at a low estimate at
snow. and pays into the town treasury
upward of $200 in taxes. These figure»
do not by any means represent the bent
ofit the town hasdcrived from the es
tublisbing of the plant, at that point.
Since August ist, last, the company hai-
paid out a little more than $21,000 for
day labor, not including the contracts
for the buildings, nor supplies bough'.
in the meantime. All this money has
gone into Norwalk families, and thence
found its way into the coffers of local
merchants. The work about the plant,
moreover, is not yet completed. Yes-
terday twenty or more Italians weri
filling in and grading portions of tin
land, or digging out the muck, prepara-
tory to giving the entire property a top
dwssing of railroad sparks, which arr
dry and unproductive, thus reducing
the (hunger from fire to a, minimum.
The land upon which the Standard
Oil company's plant is located was
known as the Brooks property. It con-
tains six and one-half acres, three of
which have already hem filled in turd
nicely gradml. A high board fence on-
closes the premises on the north and
east sides, and tho courpany has given
enough of its land to increase the width
of the highways from two to twenty-five
foot, or nearly double their fonncr
width. The mammoth tanks first at-
tract the attention of a visitor to flu-
works. Nos. 1, :3. and 3, used for storing
stove gasolone, bonzino, and Pratt‘s
astral oil, respectively, have a capacity
of 2,200 barrels each; No. l. which
contains water while or ordinary oil for
lamp purpws, holds 10AM) barrels:
No. 5, with a capacity of 0,000 barrels.
is filled with naphtha, and No. 0,01
7,000 barrels capacity, is for paraffinv
oil. used in «engines. There never has
been, Mr. Mills said, a quart of crude
petroleum on the place, and it is not tin
intention of the company to bundli-
crude oil at Wilson Point. The oil ar-
rives at the Point in boats constructed
of iron, and is forced by yuworfuipnmy»
into the tanks at the works, smut hall

sims~twofour-inch, nun six-inch, and

it would be strange if, in tho hamllinu
of such a great current of oil, more of it
did not run to waste. The company hm-
tnki-n every ymarntion to guard against
this, hmvevor, and. as stated at the out.
not, the leakage is minced in the least
quantity pimildc. in the first pint-o. a
trench four feet in depth has been dog on-
tlrvly around the plant, the oldest luring
to hoop on the morpany's property what
little all might ho lost. A more mm
and effectual [insulation against allowing
the wasto oil togct lwyond tln- muffin-s of
the plant and oontamlnnb' the waters of
the harbor is the coristruction of a dam
and trap on the :10th side of the proper
ty. This trap, which is several feat
square and as many in height, is divid-
ed intoo series of four compartments.
A trough resting on the bed of the
stream, which at this point is four foot
in depth, carries the water into and out
of the trap. Tho theory isthatlhnoil
niust naturally flooton tho snrfam of
the water, and will not enter the trap
until it marines the depth of the trough.
Then. in wring through the trough.
the oil W'mlfl be caught and retained in
one of thy-l onnpnrtments, while the
water flows out and on. clear and pure.
The oil that now momnhum
on the water outside of the trap is
mapped off with woolen blankets,
loss of less than'one quart. This state '
wringor, the refuse being received in a
barrel. The waste oil thus obtained
within the pastthree weeks does not ex-
ceed one gallon. For the purpose of
showing how little oil will produce a
discoloration on the water, Mr. Mills
sprinkled a few droym with his lead pen-
cil on the Muse. and immediately
there was a beautiful display of rainbow
colors that continually expander]. Tires
it is that the mnjOtity of people Vastly
)verestimate the amouht of oil on the
iurface of water. ~'With the construc-
tion of this trap all objection to the
Standard Oil company's plant seems to
have passed away, and those who were
once opposed to it, now have no fault to
find. The matter of an unpleasant smell
from the oil is scarcely worth mention-
ing. Yesterday, with its warm and sul-
try atmosphere, no offensive ordervwas
perceptible.
More than fifty per cent. of the pro-
duct of the plant is refined oil for illn~
urinating purposes, which is sent away
a tank carsof} 8,000 gallons capacity
each. The furlnnog of the output in bar-
reled. Tire filling is done in two large
warehouses, one. exclusively for white
oil and the other for .naphthas. Tire
barrels first go; through the plugging
uni driving process by which all leaks
ire stopped and the hoops made tight
by a machine which presses them down.
the inside of the barrels are then coated
with glue, heated iii a temperature of
150° , which, as they are whirled around,
exerts a pressure of about forty pounds
to the square inch and renders the bar-
rels absolutely tight. Next comes the
painting. This is done by keeping the
barrel constantly on tho whirl while the
painter applies the brush, keeping it
stationary and not removing it until the
workis finished. In this manner one
man can paint 1,300 brands at day.
Twenty-four hours, soxiictimos forty-
eight, is allowed for the paint to set.
The barrels are then ready-for filling,
which is done at the rate of about four a
minute, the fillers working automari-
eerily, shutting 05' when the barrel has
received the required number of gallons.
The oil is then weighed on scales which
indicate pounds» as well as gallons, six
and one-half pounds being orprivaient to
a gallon. The barn‘lshavin; berm prop.
oriy marked, the oil is. ready for ship-
meat. The pumpingfrom the big tank-i
is done bya system of gravity pumps
heated in the naphtha warehousp, and
thwagli‘ourtheenti 'o pmss of pump
ing and filling great care is taken that
there shall boas little waste as possible,
and the result is that the works are very
clear!) when the nature of the industry
is considered. Connected with the plant
is a boiler-house containing a l20 horse
power boiler, iicenwd to carry eighty-
fivc pounds of steam. and a well-equipped
stable. ‘
The output of the Standard Oil plant
at Wilson Point in 1805 was 13,0003“)
gallons. Iris expected that the busi-
ness this your will reach 25,000,000 gal-
ions. Oil is distributed in bulk to sub-
stations located at Stamfordfiridmmrt.
