ed by All of as Marmot Letter.

Miss Katie Flood. formerly a domel'
tie in the household of A. H. Camp, of
North avenue. and who was wanted for
securing merchandise in Norwallr under
false pretenses, was arrested in Bridge-
port, yesterday.

Mrs. Camp received an anonymous let-
ter from Bridgeport, Tuesday, inform-
ing her that it Miss Flood was wanted
she could be found at a house in Madi-
son street, that city, near the county
jail. The letter was signed “Justice, an
Honest Servant."

Captain of Police Dean was notified of
the receipt of the letter, and after read-
ing it and learning Miss Flood’s where-
abouts, he telephoned to the Bridge
port police. Tuesday night, giving them
a description of the woman and rooms
ting that shebe arrested. A warrant
was then sworn out and forwarded to
the Bridgeport police, who arrested Miss
Flood yesterday. .

Last night Officer Morahouse was sent
to Bridgeport and returned with the pri-
soner. She was locked up in the Smith
street stationrhonse to await further de-
velopments.

Miss Flood went to the Norwalk Boy
ton store a few days ago and secured
goods to the amount of havingtw 75,
them charged to Mrs. Camp. The pro-
prietors, learning that they had been
defrauded, made complaint to Chief of
Police Bradley. Dillon! Morehousc took
up the case and for two nights kept a
sharp lookout for the woman in South
Norwalk, but am not find her. The
first knowledge of her whereabouts was
conveyed in the letter received by Mrs.
(lamp. 1 ‘

Miss Flood also tried to work her
game at Edwhd Street's store, but was

- unsuccessful. She visited 1". A. Lane’s
restaurant in South Norwalk and pro.
cured some edibles which she said Mrs.
Lanehad sent her for. She left for
Bridgeport soon after this last escapadc.

Miss Flood visited the Boston store
twice, it has since been learner]. The
second time, Mrs. Camp's daughter
happened to beta the store. She dis.
chered the woman’s dishonesty and
had her order countermauded. The day
following this discovery Miss Flood left
the Camp household.

It was not until several days later that
the Boston dry goods concern learned
that they had been swindled and that
Mrs. Camp never authorized any one to
buy and have goods charged to her ac-
count. Just before that discovery Mrs.
Camp's daughter missed $l0 from her
pocketbook one day. It is the belief
now that Kitty was the one who pur-
loinod the money. Complaint was ac-
cordingly made to the police and a war-
rant issued for Kitty's arrest It was
placed in the hands of Officer More-
house who, as told before, made a dili-
gent search for the young woman with-
out avail.

When arrested in Bridgeport Miss
Flood said that some weeks ago her min.
tress sent her to the store to buy cloth
to the valueof 06.50, with instructions
to have it charged to her. The cloth
was unsatisfactory and the domestic
used it herself, the mistress takingfil
out of her wages in payment for it. She
thought the bill had been paid.

Miss Flood called upon Mrs. Minnie
Radio, a dressmaker, of Main street.

v and ordered a dress made, to be charged
to Mrs. Camp. When Miss Flood called
for the waist. Mrs. ladle sent a girl to
Mrs. Camp's residence to learn whether
Miss Flush cellars were sanctioned

a'rhe reply was in the negative. In the
meantime Mia Gertrude Camp hur-
ried to Mrs. Radio's residence and

Miss Camp accused her of imposition

RARE PALMS AND PLANTS DESTROYED.

A Fire Consumes W. G. Langdon's Hothouse at
Hall Mile Island. .

Word came from Half Mile Island,
yesterday, that a fire was raging in, the
liothouse on the premises of Woodbury
G. Langdon, and that assistance was
needed. ‘

Hackmau George Seymour took down
Jacob Lassen, Henry Hallock, Thomas
Barry and James Farrell, who, with
other men, succeeded in putting out the
fire. The building, however, was nearly
destroyed, with its contents, consisting
of valuable palms and rare plants.

Water to fight the flames was carried
in buckets from the harbor. The fire
started in the boiler room, and, it is pro
sumed, was caused by the fire. constant-
ly kept there. It was discovered by one
of the men employed about the place.

The main dwelling is not far from the
liothouse. but fortunately the wind was
blowing in an opposite direction, and
the house was not damaged. ‘

The Methodist Building Committee Submits
Specifications to Local Contractors.
The building committee of the First
Methodist Episcopal church have sub~
mitted the plans and specifications to
a number of contractors who have
asked the privilege of making estimates.

Any local contractors and builders
may see the plans and specifications by
calling at the ol'lico of E. Hill at the
Norwalk Iron Works.

The committee‘s purpose is to award
the entire contract to one builder, who
must be a recognized church builder.
There will probably be many sub-
contracts.

Meetings at the Baptist Church.

The interest in the special meetings at
the South Norwulk Baptist church
reached the highest point of interest
yet, last evening. The attendance
crowded the rooms. Mr. Smith preach-
ed an excellent sermon, and sang sever-
al times most effectively, The chorus
helped very much in loading in the con-
gregational singing. Mrs. (J. F. Bout-
Well and Mrs. John Tryon each song a
solo impressively. A large number of
testimonies were given. Indeed, so in-
tvnso was the interest from the first to
the last that it was difllcult to flndn
suitable place to close the meeting
even for nearly ,half an hour
after the usual time of closing.
The meeting this evening will
bethelast one for this week. It will
close promptly at ll o‘clm-k, without fail.
It has not yet been decided what plan
willbe followed next Week, but it is
probable that several special meetings
willbehcld. These meetings thus far
have been unusually profitable. The
church is becoming thoroughly awaken—
ed. ()n Sunday the services will be in
keeping with the spirit of these special
services. The infecting this evening
ought to be one of special interest. All
are welcome.

Sums Characteristic ll sol Peculiar Features
Noted by I trailer! Reporter—Fathers
Huntington and mm, of the Order
of the cross. Talk oI thelr Work.

The Parochial Mission which is, now
in progress in Norwalk, under the aus-
pices of St. Paul’s church, presents some
characteristic if riot peculiar features,
when one takes into consideration the
place in which its matings are held and
the class of patronage it receives. In
some things a"Missiun," used in this
sense, corresponds to a revival,so«cullm’l,
or protracted meetings in other Protest-
ant churches. It has the saxne ostens-
iblcmotive—‘to arouse the people to a
sense of their unsatisfactory condition,
spiritually,aud their need of Divine help;
but, quoting from the circular issued by
Fathers Sargent and Huntington: “The
Mission is not a time of excitement,
* ll * 9* but aquiotuud orderly means
of calling people back to God.” This
statement does not reflect upon revivals,
for they are not necessarily either dis-
orderly or unquiot, although that charge
is sometimes brought against them.

The Mission at St. l’aul'sis presided
over by Fathers Sargent and Huntington,
of the Order of the Holy Cross. The
services are well attended, and if the in—
terest is unabated they will probably be
continued all through this month. The
priests appear to be sincere and humble
men and entirely in earnest, yet all the
trend of their teaching seems to be tow-
ard Roinanism.

A large congregation attended the
meeting for women only in the church,
Wednesday afternoon. Father limi-
tington spoke on the duties of mothers
to their children, and his words were in-
teresting and instructive. lie expressed
himself as strongly opposed to the cunt
phrases by which mothers unwittingly
sew the seeds of infidelity in a child's
mind and engender a hatred of religion
in its heart. “For example," he urged,
”do not say to yourcliilll that God \wn‘t
love it if it docs wrong. That gives lin-
Child a false idea of God and puts God’s

love lower than a mother's, for: she does'

not cease to love her child when he (Ines
wrong. So tell your childflif you will,
that God is sorry when he does wrong
but not that he ever stops loving us. “'1‘

drew us back by His love."

been given the children to learn at their
last meeting' "My God.l am sorry I
have ofi'eudcd tlu‘v, who art so good
Forgive me, for Jesus Christ‘s sake, and
I will try to sin no more."

The crucifix, the sign of the cross and
the confessional played a prominent
part in the service Wednesday after-
noon. Perhaps the fathers do not use
the terms confession and confessional,
but the thing for which they stand was
certainly in evidence. The crucifix was
passed from hand to hand through the
church for examixmtion, Father Hunt-
ington advising its us:~ mortgage a
child's attention while praying. He
also requested the congregation to follow
him in picking the sign of the cross.
Almost all the women (llll
Father l‘lunl lngton argued that making
the sign of the cross is u very slmplv

one. One bright woman objected) after-
ward, of course) that the Rev. Father

He told the reporter that both himself
and Failior Huntington are “real New
England Yankees" from Unitarian fmn-
ilfes, and that the latter is the son of a
former Unitarian preacher in Harvard
university, who became a convert to the
Episcopalian church many years ago
and is now a bishop.

Sixteen years ago the (infer of the
Holy Cross was organized in New York
city, for the purpose of mission work
among the Germans of the East Side.
It was associated in thts’work with the
Sisterhood of St. John the Baptist. At

a large correspondence. They have no
endowment, no fixed income, Father
Sargent says, and when they conduct a
Mission. like the present one, receive
merely enough to defray their actual
expenses. They have been conducting a
Mission lately in Southern Florida.
Their dress is a plain, black gown. fas-

They are bound by the life-wows of

The reporter asked Father Sargent
if there was any truth in the story that
Father Huntington had given up n for-
tune of millions to enter the order. Ile
answered, “No, neither have we been
disappmntvd in love. There is absolute-
ly no romance connected with us.”

When asked if the order in its meth-

A Summary of what War Done in the
Legislative Halls.

(Special to The Sentinel.)

Hartford, Jan. iii—The proceedings
of the Connecticut legislature,yesterday,
may be summarized as follows:

A resolution was passed endorsing the
arbitration treaty between the United
litatcs and Great Britain; a resolution
wont through providing that minor
judge-ships shall hereafter be filled by
election by resolution instead of by
ballot; two or three bills were introduc-
ed to improve the conditions of bake-
shops and the ventilation of public build-
ings; a resolution was presented appoint-
ing Costello I’ippitt, of Norwich, a
trustee of the Connecticut Hospital for
the Insane and both houses of the as-
sembly adjourned early to meet next
week Tuesday.

On Tuesday the committee on incur"
porations will give a hearing to those
who favor the recently introduced pe—
tition asking that the‘Norwalk Electric
Light company be incorporated. Now,
if there be a single Norwalkcr who is
oppmed to the passage of the resolution,
it is his privilege and his (int y to appear
before that. committee and make his
opinions known, or for ever after hold
his peace.

If indications point aright New Haven
county will monopolize a good share of
the. early days of next week, inasmuch
as the Republican senators and repres-
entatives of that county have several
wry knotty questions to .wttlv in the
way of the appointment of a Common
Pleas Court judge and deputy judge for
the city of New Haven. It is stated
that L. M. Hubbard. of \anlingfurtl,
has a sure thing for the Common Pleas
bench, but there is a bad mess to
straighten out in New Haven. h‘airtiold
county cases will become interesting
later.
