Eleven divorce cases. only one of
which was contested, occupied the at-
-tentlon of Judge Silas A. Robinson. to
the short calendar session of the Su-
perior Court. yesterday.

Since the last term of court, the
judges have adopted new rules, and
one of these relates to the conduct of
divorce hearings. requiring that the
clerk'of the Superior Court. as well as
the judge, shall have a record of the
names of witnesses. Lawyers who were
not familiar with the change, were In-
formed of it by Judge Robinson, and
they then announced plainly the name
of each witness.

John W. Pant. of South Norwalk,
was granted a decree from Flora E.
Pant, now of Erlanger, lty., on statu-
tory grounds. Mr. Fant had a boarder
in his home. whose name was Clar-
inoe E. Miller. The boarder was the

nose of the separation. Mr. Pant said
i t in December, 1897. he was called
south on a trip, and was gone three
weeks. When he came home his little
boy told him that he had seen his
mother sitting in Mr. Miller's lap.
Fant's suspicions were aroused and he
watched the couple. January 26, 1898,
he arose at his usual hour. about 5,
and went to the barn to get ready to
go out on his milk route. Miller's cus-
tom was to arise at the same hour, as
he had a paper route. This partic-

mornlug Miller did not get up, so

V t went back to the house. He tes-
tified that his vigilance was rewarded.
The evidence was complete. He ord-
ered Miller from the house. and airs.
rant begged him not to expose her to
- the other people in the house. A few
months later he again caught Miller
in his house, and threw him down

. stairs. He never lived with his wife
afar he obtained evidence of her un-
inithfulness. Richard Harris and In A.
Knapp also gave convincing testimony,
and Attorney Light produced a letter
Rom the erring wife in which she
.wrote her husband that she did not
care if he did get a divorce. and sne
hoped he would have better luck the
next time. The decree was granted.

Mrs. J ie Disbrow, of Wilton. had
the honor 0 being the first petitioner
to approach the court with her tale or
marital woe, and she was also the first
to receive a set-back. Mrs. Disbrow
l‘ ‘ married Frank Disbrow in New York,
3 August 22. 1880. She testified that he
l ’ mid not earn enough to keep himself
" " alive, let alone support a family. He
i lived about two miles away from her
' , home. Mrs. Disbrow was represented
by Attorney J. J. Walsh. Desertlon
was set forth as the grounds for the
suit. She testified that her husband
left her about five years later. Sever-
al witnesses testified that he was a
well-known character around Wilton
who seemed to have a difficult time
supporting himself. Mrs. Disbrow's
mother testified that slie had frequent-
ly asked her son—ln-law to support his
wife, but that he fiatiy refused and
said he would never live with her
again. Witness said she informed him
of the divorce suit and that he ex-
pressed a hope a decree would be

John Kilboy. who went fishing with

Thursday. tumbled overboard early in
the day and so thoroughly frightened
the fish that' the entire party regard

Kllboy was in a small boat with C.
N. Wood. He started to make a ”cast."
when he stumbled over his lunch box
and plunged headfirst into the pond.
He attempted to olamber back Into the
boat at the imminent risk of capslzing
the craft. but Mr. Wood objected.

Finally Mr. Kllboy allowed Mr. Wood
to tow him ashore. after which he ning
out his wet clothing and made andther
attempt at fiahlug.

For some reason the fish would not
bite. and the blame is all laid on Mr.
Kllboy.

He begged the crowd to keep his
tumble to themselves. but some one
gave the adventure away and Mr. Kil-

One of the most successful three
days' celebrations of an event in pri-
vate life which has ever taken place in
Norwalk, ended yesterday. it was the
fitting conclusion ’of a series of hon-
ors done 'to one of our most accom-
plished and energetic towuswomen,
Mrs. Samuel Richards Weed. regent of
the Norwalk Chapter of the D. A.
The affair was a combination in h -
or oi her fortleth wedding day anni-
versary on the 11th. lust. and her
birthday anniversary yesterday, and it
was carried out with seal and vim by
all concerned. and was as spontaneous
as it was delightful. The weather. hap-
pily. was perfect for all three events,
and the last two were a “surprise" to
Mrs. Weed, which was quite over-
whelming. Her home,Qldbrook.” on
the old stage road near the Red Mill
on Five Mile River. was a perfect bow-
er oi beauty in the wealth of roses.
violets, chrysanthemums contributed
by friends and relatives, mingled with
specimens of the rarest autumn foll-
age now In its prime, and wild fiowers
from the fields and hillsides now so
abundant and lovely. The flowers
came from all actions and were a sight
worth seeing.

The first day was ushered in by an
enormous bag of mail from the Row-
iyton post-ofilce, which comprised let-
.ers of congratulations from far and
near, from relatives who could not be
present and friends who vied with each
other in the wealth of their compli-
nents. Telegrams and a cable message
from abroad followed. and, in fact, the
urine] of letters continued for the
whole three days. Gifts came in rap-
id succession, and some of them valua-
ble mementoes of affection and es-
teem. This day was devoted to a fam-
ily reunion. The house was filled. and
the sons and their wives. granchll-
dreu, sister. brothers. nieces from out
of town, joined In the feast of good
things prepared for the occasion. it
was a very happy family affair, and
Mrs. Weed and her husband bore their
honors with becoming dignity and
grace. After the least all hands ad-
journed to the parlors. where they en-
joyed the story of the "Courtship and
Marriage" which led to all this com-
pany. prepared by Mr. Weed. Its truth
and naturalness were heartily appre-
ciated, but the story is one which be-

..llbngs to the sacredness of the family

fireside and must properly remain
there. Then there were merry-mak-
ings and enjoyments which lasted until
a late hour. It was a loving tribute
from loving hearts and hands, and a
picture of the happiness of family life
which one believes pervades thousands
of American homes.

Among the letters received were sev-
eral which would hear publication. ‘We
regret the want of space compels us to
omit an interesting letter from Rev.
Thomas K. Noble .oi Norwaik. and an-
other from Rev. A. J. F. Behrends. of
Brooklyn. The letters were touching
in their love. One from an aged aunt
living In Parmingham. Mann. another
from Mrs. llsabeth Clark. aged eigh-
ty-five.motherof Mrs. Dr. Rankin. of
Peeksklll. N. Y.. was quite affecting.
The following contribution from the
well-known poetesa. Mrs. Margaret
E. Sangater, will be read with interest:

I! a ladle m Today.

For the seventh tim‘e‘ht the present
lnternational‘ series fibr;ihe America's
cup "no race" was signalled today. The
wind failed and although the Colum-
his and the Shamrock went out to the
starting line it wasapperent long be-
fore the time for the start that it would

be impossible to sail the race. Strange

as it may seem. there win an excellent
sailing breese along the coast, but not
enough air all the ilghtshlp to fill the
sails of the yachts.

New York, October 14~A1 sunrise
here this morning, the sky was over-
cast. a light base rested over the upper
bay, and the tie breeze then blow-
ing was from t e eastward, with a ten-
dency to work southward. The pros-
pects for a race between the Columbia
and the Shamrock for the America's
cup were brighter than at any time
during the week. The old sallormen
about the battery said a good breese
from an easterly to a_ south-easterly
direction might be expected and that a
race with a time limit might he look-
ed for. The continued postponements
and fizzles has had a decided sheet-on
the yachting people. Pew were bouan
for the Hook during the early hours,
though the fact that It was a Saturday
would suggest larger crowds than usu-
al. It was generally believed, however.
that a good race with a finish would
start the excursionlsts going again.

Off Sandy Hook at 6:80 a. m.. there
was scarcely sufilcient wind to blow
away the last traces of the light mist
which had encircled the yachts during
the night. The only vessels in sight
besides the racers, were the Erin, the
Columbia's and the Shamrock's tenders.
and one steam yacht. Further up Sandy
Hook hey a fleet of about a dosen
fishing sloops. with all sails set. were
endeavoring to move out Into deep wa-
ter, but were unable to make any head-
way with the light wind. The crew of
the challenger and defender could be
seen at work. washing down decks.
looking over the running and standing
rigging and performing other necessary
wor .

At 8 a. m. the Highlands of Naveaink
reported that the wind was veering
to the southeast. about four miles an
hour, and that the wind off share was
apparently increasing in -strength.
which was a different state of affairs
to that prevailing at the same time at
Asbury Park, from which point the
observer wired that the wind had died
out almost entirely. that the 11th
phere had grown misty, and that ob-
servation was shut in to about five
miles.

The weather authorities at Washing-
ton had promised some wlnl. for today.
but as the morning wore on the most
timid of the yachtsmen had already
begun to lose hope. as the weather pre-
dltions‘ during the last two weeks
had nbt been very accurate.

The air had cleared at the High-
lands durlng the might, and for the
first time for four or five days the
Scotland Lightship. about four miles
olf shore, could be distinctly seen from
there. ’

The Columbia. anchored to the west-
ward of her rival, had her two head-
sails up in stops at 8 a. m.. and the
same sails could be seen hoisted on the
Shamrock. This meant that those
aboard expected a race.

The most cheerful weather advices
of the morning came from the Associa-
ted Press station at Bar Rockawny at
8:40. where the observer said the pros-
alerts for a race'were very encourag-
lng. A fresh breeze from the south
southeast. about five miles an hour
was then bIOwlng and increasing rap-
idly in strength.

On Board Macksy-Bennett Cable
Boat, 11:42 a. m.—Scarcely any breeze
and very warm. Both yachts drifting
about the lightship.

Sandy Hook, October". 12:09 p. m.-
The race has been officially declared off
for today. '

passengers, is supposed to be the young

As near as could be learned the fire
originated in the boiler room by a spark
flying into a part of the hold where
combustible freight was stored. The
lire spread with great rapidity, and In
a comparatively short time the steamer
was wrapped in fiames from stem to
stem. The fifty or more passengers
were called by members of the crew
who rushed from state'room to state
room.

The Nutmeg State carried a large
cargo of mixed freight. but 'as the sea-
son is advanced the freight was not as
closely stored as during the rush. This
fact afforded the flames an opportuni-
ty to creep In among the articles of
freight In a surprisingly short time.

As the life boats of the steamer were
being lowered by some of the men am-
ong the passengers and while the crew
was busy fighting the fire, the steamer
City of Lawrence loomed up and doub-
led her speed untll she was within al
short distance of the burning steam-
er. The passengers were safeiy trans-
ferred ln the small boats of the two
steamers. Some boatsmen who went
out to the asflstasce of the burning,
steamer reported that the passengernf
behaved admirably and that there was‘
no sign of a panic. When the City of

sengers of the doomed steamer. and
found that she could render no furth-
0" assistance, she started for view
York.

The fiames of the burning steamer.
which was beached. lighted up the
shores for miles around, and many per-
sons fiocked to the water's edge to
watch the spectacle. Many put of! in
small boats to the steamer to offer as—
sistance. but could not get within sev-
eral hundred t on account of the
intense heat.

When the steamer ulty of lmwrence
arrived at Pier 24, East River. with
some of the passengers of the Nutmeg
State, ambulances were at once sent
for. Captain Charles Brooks, of the
Nutmeg State. the burned boat, arrived
at the Bridgeport llne pier. near Peck
Slip. about 9:30 o'clock, and reported
that the steamer was a total loss. He
said that three of his crew were burn-
ed to death. and he feared that some
of! the passengers had suffered a lute

Samuel Jayne, the baggage-master.
was lost. He got out of the hold in
which the fire was and jumped over-
board to escape the flames. A passing
steam yacht which had sailed as close
to the burning boat as she dared.
steamed up to the man as the yacht
owner saw him trying to swim, and
lame was picked up. When ‘he was
laid out on the deck he was dead.

Patrick Coffey, the mate of the ves-
sel. was In the. lower part of the hold
when the fire started. He could not
get out. and was burned to death.

An oller. whose name the captain
"Ollld not remember, was In the hold
1nd could not get out.

Captain Brooks reported that the
Nutmeg State left Bridgeport at 3 o'-
n-lock this morning. two hours late. He
said that the first he knew of the fire
was when he saw a blaze around the
xmokestack. The fire was burning
briskly then and he got some men to
work in trying to put out the fire.

The steamboat was then five miles
east of Execution Light, headed direct-
ly for Sands Point. and all steam that
could be got up was put on her. She
made good time while a state of the
most intense excitement reigned aboard
the vessel.

On coming near Sands Point the cap-
tain directed the bow of the boat dead
“lead for the beach, and he ran her
ashore about a mile east of the point

There was between thirty and forty
passengers on the Nutmeg State, Cap-
tain Brooks said. He was afraid that
some or them were lost. but he was not
sure.

Everything possible was done for the
passengers, but some of them got hurt
If not burned to death.

The City of Lawrence. also bound for
the city, saw the fire and at once
steamed over towards the burning ves-
sel. Boats were put out from her. and
by heroic work the passengers of the
Nutmeg State were taken aboard the
vessel. together with the remaining
members of the crew and brought to
the city.

Captain Brooks reported the vessel's
freight is total loss.

The City of Lawrence arrived he-
‘ween 9 and 10 o'clock.

P. J. Hurlburt, of Bridgeport. a pas-
:enger, was asleep when the fire was
iiscovered. He said the fire was first
.een by Baggagemastcr Jayne, who
'fter arousing all the passengers hr
-ould. jumped overboard and died frorr

"The fire broke out about five mln-

and rafts were thrown overboard a»
quickly as possible and the passengers
were put on them. Some of the'llfe-
boats were so overloaded that they cap
aized but the passengers. many of
whom had life preservers clung to the
Me ropes until the yacht Kismet ar-
"ived and helped them." '

According to stories told by other
survivors, the vessel caught fire with-
in a few minutes of 6 o’clock, probablv
In some part of the engine room or the
coal bunkers. As soon as the steamer
was known to be on fire. alarms werr
sounded and passengers and as many
of the crew as could, gathered on thr
decks. Captain Brooks was awakene'i
1nd took charge of the work of getting
the passengers ashore.

The boat was brought to a stop and
nvery lifeboat and raft was put over-
board, women and children, as far as
possible. being taken first. The work
of putting the passengers on the boats
was done in great haste, as the captain
wished to beach the boat near Sands
Point on the Long island shore. All
the boats got away safely excepting
two. One boat had been cast off. but
the other had not yet been loosened
from the ropes. The bow of one of the
boats came down upon the other and
the steamer started before the remain-
ing ropes could be loosened, capslzing
both boats. Members of the crew who
were manning the boats made a fight
to save the women and children. H. l',
O'Keefe, one of the crew. had one 0'

together of the boats. but he and his
