be boiled.

Osivald B. Smith, a prominent Nor-
walk colored man, was arrested
by Chief of Police Bradley and
Constable W. S. Raymond; of
VNew Canaan. at his home on Spring
-Eill, Norwalk, last‘‘ night, charged with
theft and blackmail. The complainants
'ithhe case are Mr. and Mrs. Peter W.

Mead, of New Canaan, and the case has
furnished a big sensation for that vil-

Constable Raymond has been looking
for Smith for several days but could not
locate him. He came to N orwalk again
yesterday afternoon and in company
with Andrew Quinlin, a farm hand em-
ployed by the Meads,dro a up to Smith's
home on Spring Hill. rs. Frances E.
Smith. was at home but enied knowing
anything about her so whereabouts.

constable saw by her actions that
hi man was probably in the house and
after apparently driving away, he sent
Quinlin with the team after Chief Brad-

_1eyto aid him in the case. The chief re-

sponded and his summons again brought
Mrs. Smith to the door. The chief push-
cdby her into the house and calling to
the constable to follow they proceeded
tosearch the house. Mrs. Smith then
gave in and called Mr. Smith down
stairs. He made no resistance and ac-
companied the constable to Attorney
Walsh’s office where he furnished a
bond of $50 to Justice Styles W. Curtis,
his mother becoming surety for him
until this morning at-lO o'clock when he
was to appear before Justice Bliss at
New Canaan for trial.

The people of New Canaan are con-
siderably worked up over the ease and

when a Sentinel reporter visited that

village it was the general topic of con-

111:1 ~ 1 versation. It seems that Andrew Quinl

lin,—who is empldyed as a farm hand by
the Meads, also rents a stable of them,
andeugaged Smithto paint aoarriage for
1111111111111 coconuts for Smith'sflrst ap-
pearance at the Mead place several
weeks ago. He was out of work and
asked Quinlin to interccdo in his behalf
and get him a job. Quinlin was suc-
cessful in doing so. Smith is a good
talker, and with his polished manners
soon won favor with his employer. He
worked about the house and soon knew
more or less of the family affairs. Mrs.
Mead gave him new clothes and dressed
him up in good shape, so that he would
be presentable on all occasions. When
not busy in the house Smith was em-
ployed on the farm.

=As soon as he learned of the divorce
proceedings between Mr. and Mrs.
Mead he naturally became interested in
his mistress‘ side of the ease and, it is
said, became her adviser. Just what his
advice was does not appear quite plain,
but the stories in the neighborhood are
to the effect that he pretended to look
into the case and informed her she could
never get a bill if her husband appeared
against her. It is said he then
oflered for recompense to take Mr.
Mead down south with him until after
the decree was granted. Just how he
intended to get Mr. Mead to accompany
him is not known. lt is also hinted
that Smith got hold of certain letters in
the case of interest to Mrs. Mead. About
this time Smith, who was also on friend-
ly terms with Mr. Mead, knew consider-
able about he side of the case. There
was some misunderstanding and Smith
left the Mead farm.

Mr. and Mrs. Mead have now settled
their matrimonial difficulties and the
divorce proceedings have been with-
drawn. Both Mr. and Mrs. Mead have
decided that Smith did not have the in-
terest of either at heart and have de-
cided to prosecute him. They also
allege that he has taken a diamond ring
and other jewelery.

Mrs. Mead claims that Smith got
through there three weeks ago and since
that time he has made repeated demands
for money and also tryed to frighten
her by stating that if she made him
trouble he would swear that she hired
him to put Mr. Mead out of the way for
good. She also says that he told Quin-
lin. the hired man. that he would get
ti .000 out of her before he got through
for the letters and she would not dare
touch him. Quinlin also admitted this
to a Sentinel reporter. in the matter of
the ring it was a three-atonei diamond
ring. worth atleast "50. it was missed
the next day after Smith left the pre-
miles.

Stale 111m ul lleallb Issues an Important
‘ 1111111111111.

The druggists of thb state have come
to the notice of the state board of
health, and will be called to task for the
negligent manner in which poisons have
been sold.

In this county, the health officer.
George E. Hill, acting upon the sugges-
tion of the board, has sent circulars
apprislug the druggists of the laws
governing their trade and pointing out
the violations.

The statutes require that all poisons
shouldbe'recorded, with the name of
the person purchasing and the time.
But it seems that in issuing an abstract
from the laws, the State Pharmaceutical
association cut out that portion of the
statute which applicsto "rat dynamite,"
“rough on rate,” and other vermin des-
troyers which contam a large proportion
of arsenic. Mr. Hoadley was told by a
member of the association that the law
regarding these was repealed, so it was
possible' in that belief that these poisons
were omitted' in the abstract. The fact
remains, however, that the poisons are
still included, and so must besold as
such. ,

Investigation by the town health offi-
cers among the druggists finds that
Fowler'ssolutiou of arsenic is sold by
many, indiscriminately, for “complex-
ion beautifler,” and that a ablation of
corrosive sublimate 111 sold and labeled
bug poison. In careless hands or where
suicide is contemplated, not to say any-
thing about attempts at murder, those.
p 1isons so carelessly sold, could be used
with the most disastrous effects, and it
would be next to impossible to trace the
crime.

In addition to the drug store poisons
an order will be issued to have a record
ofallsales kept by those who deal in
paris green. This dangerous poison has
been sold everywhere in a very careless
manner.

The state board of health has issued
an order to prevent if possible a recur-
rence of diphtheria, scarlet fever and
measles epidemic. that has prevailed
throughout the state. Through the
empty health ofliccrs, each town officer
has ‘boen instructed to fumigate the
schools and also to see that they are
placed in a good sanitary condition.

Providence Lies Steamer Sinks a Tao-lasted
Schooner-4111111 fate to its Boats.

While the steamboat 'Masswhusetts,
commanded by Captain Griffin, of the
Provrdcnce line, was making her way
through the'Sound, bound for New
York, shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday
morning, she collided with the Yaodaliu,
a two-roasted schooner. and sank her.
The Schooner was struck on the star-
board quarter and cut in two. She
wont down in seven minutes. The
crew, numbering l0, took to the boats
andwcre picked up by tho Massachu-
suits and brought to this city. There
was a dense fog at the time of the col-
lision, and although Captain Canha. of
he Vandaliu blew his signal born, the
olllcers of the Massachusetts say that
when the schooner's proximity was 1w-
ccrtaincd it was to into too prevent the
accident.

The only injury the Massachusetts
sustained was a slight scratch on her
slam. The collision occurred [:1 miles
west of Cornfield, L. I. The Massachu-
setts had a pasmigmr list numbering

_________._____.,
A Remark by Sam Fesunden.

The building in which the national
counuittc has selected headquarters is
a handsome one, but there is a lack 11f
civility, even discrimination. upon the
part of the employees of the place.
While the committee was in session
yesterday various politicians and others
who bad business with the numbers of
the national committee in session called
at the building. They met in‘scveral
cases personal abuse and even insult
from tl111 attaches of the building. who,
of course wore not copncctcd with the
committee. When Samuel k’cescndcn
heard of the way callers were ordcml
n11t"to loaf around the building," I111
11.-marked grimly, as be viewed the
handsome interior: "I guess they ought
input a glass case over the building.
it‘s tooprctty to pic." The carniakrr
of 11111 building refused to take in cards.
thn Word reached Mr. Hanna of tho
incivility of the employees he sent Col-
onelSwordsoot to see about it. Col;
oncl Swords at once had mattcrs ex-
plained, and told callers that there
would b-1 no further trouble.
