For Over Forty Your a Noted Feature of the
Town—Tho lioiro but Recently Received
an Offer from a Boston Buyer
for the Building.
The residence of the late Augustus
Whitlock and wife, in Wilton, occupied
by them and used as a boarding-school
for over forty years, was burned to the
ground Saturday night. Nothing re-
mains of the house but the foundation
and chimney, and some of the doors and
windows which were saved from the
flames. The house has been unoccupied
since the death of Mr. Whitlock, about
a year ago. It was built for school
purposes and contained twenty-five
rooms.
Suspicion pcintsto two tramps, who,
the neighbors say, have haunted this
locality for several days. They visited
stores kept by James 0. Hunt and
Edward Cable, asking for food and a
place to- sleep. and made the sauce
demands of Mrs. Werner, the cook at-
Charles Whitlock's school, which is
directly opposite the scene of the fire.
It is also claimed by neighbors that,
after the smoke had commenced to issue
from the homing building, the two men
were seen to emerge from the house and
ran towards upper Wilton. Whether
the fire was incendiary or accidental
cannot be known, and there is not
sufficient cluetowarraut’ the arrest of
the tramps, even could they be found.
A Sentinel reporter saw Charles
Whitlock; yesterday. His story of the
fire was. in substance; that his working
man, being away Saturday afternoon,
he went himself about 4:30 o'clock to
bring the cows home from pasture. He
was accompanied by a boy, one of his
scholars. As they neared the house
they notlwd smoke ascending from the
rear, close to the roof. Procuring an
axe and hammer from Mr. Crozier, near
by. they broke open the rear door, which
Mr. Whitlock had securely fastened
that very afternoon. In the kitchen
they found a whiskey bottle and some
egg shells, apparently the remains of a
feast. '
The tire gained rapid headway; it
seemed to have started in the attic, but
the flames and smoke were so thick that
all efforts to save the building had to be
made from the outside. In a very few
minutes a crowd had gathered to watch
the destructive work of the flames,
which continued without interruption
for fully three hours, until nothing was
left of the familiar landmark but
smouldering ashes.
Wilton lacks a fire company. and it
seems that not even a piece of hose
could be obtained within its binders.
James”. Hunt, who was first on the
scene of action, said that if he had had
three buckets of water without delay,
he could have prevented the fire from
spreading.
Min. Whitlock and one sister, Mrs.
llorda, of South Norwnlk. arc the
only heirs to the property. which is
valued at $3,000. It is insured for
some.
Mr. Whitlock thinks the most tantal-
izing feature of the loss is flint. he had
just received an offer, through an agent,
fronia Boston buyer, who expected to
give titanic for the place.
Augustus Whitlock‘s Wilton Boarding
Academywun for over forty years a noted
feature of the town. lie and his
bmther. Abel Whitlocii, were once part-
ners in the school business in what was
known as the “Crew House." They
shortly dissolved partnership. and. in

addition ata com. of them when in.

between thirty and forty. It is

forcing the fie-License Lew Consider-
sd—Sorvlces in other Churches.
At the morning service in the South
Norwulk Congregational church, yester-
day, Rev. (i. If. Beard preached on
“The Condition of Crime in our Town.
and What We arcGoing todo About it."
His text was {from Psalm xciv., Iii:
“Who will rise up“? against the evil-
docrs? Who will stand up * * against
the workers of iniquity?"
After quoting this indisputable au-
thority on the evils of the drink habit,
Mr. Beard said the testimony given
might seem far away and unreal, but
the town of Nonvalk was not far away.
There were the past year, from May,
189.}, to May, 189d, 168 arrests for crime.
and of that number no less than 2.34
were for drunkenness, specifically so
named in the charge. Adding some
sixty more for crimes, such as breach of
the peace, which the chief of police sitys
were caused directly by drink, We have
an awful total of 305 out of Jilin arrests
chargeable to the liquor traffic. In ad.
dition to this the chief of police. in South
Norwalk adds as his voluntary testi-
mony: “I think (nearly) all arrests are
indirectly caused by drink."
Three weeks from tomorrow, Mr.
Beard said, it would be the legal duty of
every voter in the town to register his
decision whether places for the sale of
liquor shall be re-cstablishcd and au-
thorized by law or not. As to the
saloon and the working man, he said he
had heard people say sometimes that, in
opposing the licensing of saloons, Wt‘
are antagonizing the working man.
The habits of many workingmeu are
being changed just so far as we succinxl
in abolishing the rum shop. There is
no class of people in whose interests the
opponents of the saloon are laboring
more effectively than this that. we and
the working (loss. We want to banish
the saloon permanently. out ln'causc We
believe that overylnxly must be. a puri-
fill] or go to hell; not because we have
no sympathy with the spinal pit-sisun-~

saloon: but because We know that the
liquor saloon is the arcii-roblwr («f the-
wages, the health. flll' happiness and
the integrity which the workiuginan
most of all needs.
Under the heading of tho saloon
and the taxpayer, Mr. Board said
the license fees now bring into tin-
town treasury upward of $35,000 a year i
Noliceusouiennoilinl the payment of
this money will stop.’l‘he enforcement of
the law would cost the town tho first
