The siren whistle at the electric

. light station of the Connecticut Light-
ing and Power Company gave excel-
lent service last night in calling out
the Norwalk fire department when the
bell failed to respond to an alarm sent

' in from Box 15. The blase was in the

Star Hand Laundry at 20 Main street

and did considerable damage.

Chief of Police Bradley. who stood
on the corner of Main and Wall
streets about 12:80 o'clock this morn-
ing, noticed a cloud of smoke hanging
over the buildings on the east side of
the street. He called Officer Thomas

1, Hunt and asked him if there was not
a fire up the street. Officer Hunt had
come down the street a few minutes
before. but had noticed nothing wrong.
The smoke was so suspicous that the
officers determined to investigate.

> They found a dense black smoke

pouring out of the crevices of the

dors at the laundry entrance and

through the crevices in the stairs lead-

ing to the apartments above. ho

fiames were visible at this time. Of-

ileer Hunt started for hon 16 to send in
an alarm;
In the meantime the chief started up
stairs to arouse Charles Brotherton
‘ and family. Eugene Davis and the oc-
cupants of the,Davis fiat. On coming
down stairs the chief found his out
out of! by the flames which had broken
» through into the hall. Warning the
occupants of the building to take the
rear entrance. the chief jumped
through the flames and reached the
street.

Oiiicer Hunt, unable to get an alarm
from Box 15. started for Phpenix En-
gine house and ran a line of hose to
the fire. At this junction Jamoeror-
den. who had been aroused by the
' racket. came to his assistance. follow-

ed shortly afterward by James Brun-

and George H. Allen. They broke
in the ‘door and put a stream on the
domes through the launory. the fire
in the stairway having disclosed the
fact that the trouble was apparently
confined to a closet under the stairs.

When it was found that the ban
would not work an alarm was sent to

" the electric light station by telephlne

r‘ .iand Engineer Charles de Grasse set the
big siren whistle touting. and with
such good success that the flames were
confined to the near' viCinity of the
stairway.

The partition between the closet and
the laundry, and also the partition into
the vacant store next door. was burned
out. and a large hole was burned in
the stairs The closet door leading in-
to the laundry was burned and a our
hat of clothes and some shelving were
destroyed. The contents of the laun-
dry were smntted with smoke or
drenched by water.

The fire is supposed to have started
in some waste paper in the closet. The
Misses Clune. who conduct the laun-
dry, are damaged about 860, in addition
to the interruption of their business.
while the loss upon tne building is up-
ward of 8100. Both Noah Wood. own-
er of the building. and tp laundry
owners were fully insured.

The occupants on the mood fioor
were nearly suffocated by smoke and
considerably frightened

Shortly after the fire had been-con-
sidered ektinguished it broke out again
in the upper hallway. having gotten
into the space under the flooring. Fire
extinguishers and axes were secured
from Pioneer Hook and Ladder Com-
pany s quarters. and ...e fire was quick-
ly under control.

John H. Hoyt. superintendent of the
fire alarm system. stated that last
night's trouble with Box 15 was be-
cause of a loose screw which held the
circuit-breaker. He reported the mat-

 

 

 

 

 

 

committee. and new sets of screws
have been ordered for all of the boxes,
to avoid a similar trouble.

board this sea-worthy yacht for a sail
upon the Sound. Her comfortabieness
was fully tested before the return.
The Comedy of lrrors ‘ , sod
with the embarking. Fl the c air-
man of the social committee had prom:
ised several that the yacht would wait
for the arrival at the Point ofthe I: 10
car. Startingouttomostthisoarhe
leftwordnottoforgethewasnoton
board. Two others who heard this re-
mark started to assist in looking for
the possible new comers. Baker had
hardly reached the pavilion when
Saunders shouted. "They have gone.
and Oertele has come with the small
boat focus." A rush was made for
the boat. and Baker and Saunders were
tenderly taken to those who evidently
had not forgotten they were ashore.
Then Baker and Layton protested.

* The snow must bemet, and to carry

out this "must” Layton and Griffin
rowed back. Standing on the deck
was Hastings. the other delegate who
was watching for the car. The expect~
ed did not come. and the "Three idea
in a Boat" pulled for the Ward V, en-
couraged by gentle voices over the sea
saying. "Pull for the Beacon; will meet
you at Stamford." The shallowness of
the water would riot permit the Ward
V to come into the wind In safety, un-
til Tavern island was reached. Here
those left behind succeeded in over-
taking the speedy craft.

As the three. dripping with perspir-
ation. boarded the yacht. each suppos-
ed the other had the painter. but none
had it and the dory went adrift. This
blunder provoked the skipper. and to
prevent the necessity of stopping. Gri-
flln and Saunders started to disrobe
with the intention of swimming after
the drifting boat. The argument as
to which'one should go. consumed suffi-
cient time to allow the yacht to come
about. and the object of the commo-
tion was recovered with a boat-hook.

The breeze freshened and a most en-
joyable sail to a point oh Stamford
was participated in. Soft drinks, fruit.
cake and crackers were served, and un-
healtatlngiy devoured.

On the return. as the yacht approach-
ed the Beacon. the wind moderated and
all entered the cabin to allow the cap-
tain to see the landmarks and the
lights off Keyser'a An impromptu
"come up" on the send her was effect-
ed; but by easing the mainsall and
hauling the two jlbs well to the wind-
ward the stop was not prolonged. The
Beacon was safely passed and the flats
on the southern boundary of the chan-
nel reached at about 11:30.

Sails were lowered and everyone
booked in to wait for the tide to rise.
Benger and Baker here became the en-
vy of their associates. having secured
the owner's- private state room. and
were able to get considerable sleep dur-
ing the three hours' stay there. Fin-
ally landing was effected in the chan-
nel opposite Gregory's. The Lamont-
ers were taken ashore in small boats
and a march was in order to their re-
spective homes.

Withal it was a social success and
an event never to be forgotten by those
who were present. No blame is placed
upon the skipper for the landings not
on the programme, for it is certainly
impossible to navagate. a boat draw—
ing six feet of water. in only five feet.

Just before he left, and May

Phillip Lutter, who has been con-
ducting a bakery for several years in
Carl Schaub's building in Woodward
avenue. unexpectedly discontinued the
business. yesterday and left town.
There is a possibility that he will be
arrested for fraud as he leaves many
creditors here.

A few days ago Lutter received sixty
barrels of flour from a firm in New Ha-
ven. besides several barrels of sugar
and other articles. immediately upon
their arrival In South Norwalk he lir-
ranged to have them shipped to New
York. The goods left here yesterday
by rail.

This morning. before 6: 30 o'clock.
Luttcr had his household effects on the
steamboat wharf prepared to ship
them to New York

Mr. Cleveland. the representative of
the wholesale firm in New Haven, sus—
pecting that everything was not right,
arrived in South Norwalk early this
morning. He visited Deputy Sheriff
Scul y. with a view to getting out an
attac meat or having Lutter arrested.
Mr. Sculley told him it would be nec-

_ essary to hays an attorney draw up the

papers. While this was being done
Mr. Cleveland consulted the railroad
officials, and they agreed to telephone
to New York to have the flour and
other articles detained. lie expects to

Lutter owed rent for the building be

Some time during the night burglars
forced open the kitchen windows at
the residence of Lewis Hubbell. 11
West avenue. Norwalk. and made a
tour of investigation of the lower por-
tion of the house. laying out silver-
ware, but were frightened away before
getting the' plunder packed up. The
only things reported missing are two
solid silver napkin rings.

It has been the custom of the Hub-
bell family to keep strips over the first
floor windows so that. even if the cat-
ches were forced. the windows could
not be opened. Yesterday the kitchen
windows were washed and the sticks
were not replaced. Two windows were
forced open. probably by a chisel or
jimmy. The first one opened on a tu-
ble upon which there were several ar-
ticles which blocked entrance at that
point. Then another window was tac-
kled. and the intruders walked in.
They searched the lower floor for mou-
ey and laid out all of the solid silver-
ware ready to' take away with them,
but apparently departed suddenly.
Mr. Hubbell believes they heard the
milkman. and fearing that he had an
eased the house, made haste to get
outside. Here they tackled the family
supply of milk and drank nearly all
of it. The intruders overlooked 82
which was in a box on the'slttlng-room
shelf.

It was impossible for the burglars
to reach the second story, for the fam-
ily make a practice of locking the
doors so that it is not accessible from
br-iow without picking the locks.

ENTERED A SALOON.

The saloon of Edward Goldsmith. at
18 Water street. Norwalk, was also
burglarised last night and a quantity
of liquors and cigars were taken.

The thieves gained entrance to the
saloon by working one of the rear
shutters loose,'and then raised a Will-
dow. They ransacked the bar looking
for money, but overlooked four cents
in one corner of the cash register.
Several boxes of cigars and all of the
bottled liquors back of the bar were
taken. Mr. Goldsmith places his loss
at forty or fifty dollars.

There is no clue to the burglars in
either case. The police are investigfl
ting.

WOIEN’S CLUBS IN EDUCATION.

lies Pinneo’s Address at the Recent
Symposiu- la Shelton.

At the recent Symposium in Shel.
ton Mifi Dotha Stone Pinneo. of Nor-
walk. gave an address on the sub-
ject. "Women's Clubs as Factors in the
Education of Today."

She first gave a very interesting ac-
count of what the education of today
really is and told of the dismal failures
made in our schools by old methods.
A number of curious instances of this
were given She then told of a few
of the remedies needed and urged the
women's clubs to apply them at once.
stating that their influence was needed
along these lines.

She took up the public library quea-
tlon. which she said. was one of the
great factors in the new education and
than which none appealed with great-
er force to women's clubs. She gave
a number of humorous anecdotes
which had come under her observation
while in the capacity of librarian of
one of these institutions. showing how
much missionary work was needed al-
ong this line.

Taming to the women's clubs them-
selves she pointed out some of the ab-
surdities which had sometimes pre-
vailed in them in the past. but she
traced their growth and showed their
strong points for good. She pointed
out some of the dangers which yet ex-
isted and told what their real work
should be. via. First the improving
or their own minds. then the eiiort,to
improve others and thus to add in the
great work of the new education

The conclusion of the whole matter.
she said. as to whether we should have
better schools, all along the line of the
highest form of education. rested in a
great measure on the women of the
land and the women's club should take
this matter in hand and push it to a
successful consummation.

Shortly before 8 o'clock this morning
the employees of C. T. Leonard’s coal
yard noticed smoke coming out of a
bin where there is stored upward of
two hundred tons of soft coal. it was
thought the sun. was drying the damp-
ness out of the coal. but closer inves-
tigation showed that the bin was
afire.

The fire seemed to be in the very
heart of the big pile. A force of men
was set to work shovellu. while oth-
ers soak’ed the excavation with pails
of water. The blue gained headway
however. and broke out near‘ the top.
of the pile. An alarm was then giv-
en. Box 15 being pulled, having been
repaired since last night's alarm.

The firemen found a stubborn fire
to light They soon had three streams
of water trying to drown out the
flames. The water did at penetrate
the pile to any depth. an in order to
get force to reach the seat of the fire.
a second alarm. calling out the steam-
er was sent in. Three creams were
then sinmeeed into one-two-iach
stream by means of a patent coupling.
1nd the force of the water quickly gul-
lied its way to the center of the mass.
By 9: 30 o'clock the ore was pronounc-
cd extinguished and the companies
sent to quarters. .

Hope Hose Company's new wagon
which has not yet been put into ac-
tive use because of all the harness not
being here, responded with the steam-
er alarm.

Chief Prowitt ordered the couplings
broken to allow the 8 o'clock train
down from Danbury to pass. After
this the hose was laid in trenches dug
under the track.

Spontaneous combustion is believed
to have been the cause of the fire. The
loss will not amount to any great sum

Inndon. September It—The Trans-

Joseph H. Chamberlain. has been re-
ceived. but its nature is not yet known.

At the colonial office. a reporter of
The Associated Press was informed
that nothing would be given out at

it was regarded as significant. how-
ever. that the nature of the Boer re-
ply was communicated to the comman-
der-in-chief. Field Marshal Lord
Wolseley, who immediately summoned
General Sir George Stewart White.
former quartermaster general, the
prospective commander of the British
force in Natal.

At this hour. 3:20 p. m., the South
African advices continue most conflic-
ting regarding the tenor of President
Kruger's answerlto Mr. Chamberlain.

The Morning Post. in a second edi-
tion. prints a special despatcb from
Pietermaritzburg. capital of Natal.
saying the reply is "truculent. loqua-
cious and blasphemous."

The Manchester Guardians' corres-
pondent at Cape Town telegraphs that
the outlook is of the gloomiest char-
actor.

The Cape Town papers themselves
take a more hopeful view of the situa-
tion. basing their belief on the prob-
able acceptance of President Kruger.
of the franchise measures suggested in
Mr. Chamberlain's latest despatch.
But even they admit it is impossible
to learn or foreahadow President Km‘

of Great Britain. which‘. after all.
still the main issue.

"I have good authority for believing

Cod Districts still Further
Enlarged.

West Dennis. Mann. September lt~
The long list of crimes which have oc—
~>urred in the Cape Cod district during
the past two months was still further
enlarged this morning. when the body
of James F. Whittemorewlp driver of
a bakery wagon, was found dead on

the old town house road at a point mid-
way between South Yarmouth and
Yarmouth. Whittemore. who was on-
ly nineteen years old. link been shot
through the head some time during
the night. The authorities immediate-
ly began"an investigation on the the-
ory that the boy had been killed by
the so called Bourne burglars who
have been at'large since the shooting
of two oflcers in that town nearly two
months ago. By 9 o‘clock this forc-
noon. fully 1.000 men and boys had
assembled from the various places in
this section and a search for suspic-
ious strangern was begun.
