_ ,Oioimo She Will Packing a Trunk, when

 

a Lighted Lamp Set Fire to Some
Clothing In the Wardrobe—.
Little Damage Done.

.4—

There was excitement in Norwaik,
last evening, directly after the small
blaze in Thomas Ward’s tenement
house, when Mrs. Whitfield Bates. who
occupied apartments in the dwelling.
was arrested on the instigation of Mr.
Ward. and charged with arson. She
was held under a bond of 8500. She
was released later In the evening by
giving a bank book, showing that a
deposit of that amount was in ‘a Nor-
waik bank. She will be given a hear-
ing tomorrow morning in the Town
Court room.

If all the stories are true concerning
the blaze and what led up to it, the
people in town will have something
to talk about for some time. Mr. Ward
states that Mrs. Bates deliberately set
fire to his house, and that it is alleged
she had threatened to get even with
him. However true this may be, at
any rate there was a fire in the house
started under suspicious circumstances.

Mr Ward and Mrs. Bates had some
trouble a short time ago. it is not
known what the troub'ie was. but an
order to quit the premises was served
on the tenant holder ten days ago.
,The ten days was up yesterday and
still Mrs. Bates. with all her effects,
was in the building. This fact alone
was proof enough that she did not have
the kindliest feeling for her landlord.
for after last night, Mr. Ward. in ord-
er to get his tenant out. would have to
resort to summary process proceed-
ings at considerab.e exocnse.

The dw'elifng is situated in Main
street. The fire started in the apart-
ments of Mrs. Bates about 6:30 o‘clock.
She claims that she was packing a
trunk in a small closet. with a hand-
lamp sitting on the floor. A thin wrap-
per hung on a book. The lamp was
set directly under the wrapper. The
latter caught“ fire. Mrs. Bates snatch-
ed the chimney from the lamp. She
rushed top front window of her apart-
ments. trailiugwtho flaming garment.
Raising the",wlndow she threw it out.
itlililiing back to the closet she grabbed
the lamp and also threw that through
the window. First the blazing wrap-
per and then a lighted lump coming
through a window of a tenement house
into the street naturally excited those
who saw it. Some of the clerks in
the Main street stores notified the
firemen. When they arrived on the
scene. the fire. was practically extin-
guished. The use of ohcmicuis was all
that was necessary. The only dun _e
was to some clothing of Mrs. Bates. a
lace curtain and shade. The entire
effects belonging to her were iilsured.
as was also the building. if Mrs. Bates
appears in the court room tomorrow
morning. there promiscs to be an in-
teresting time.

New LIBRARY ,_ 0K8.
The Publications for March Include
Some Notable Works.

The books of March at the Norwaik
Library contain some notable works.
Perhaps the most important is the ions
anticipated Life of Phillips ‘Brooss.
There is also N. D. Hillis’a last book.
The influence of Christ in Modern Life
and [an Maclaren's Church Folkswhicn
is full of good things.

in sociology we find General For-
syth's capital Story of the Soldier. in
the Story of the West Series; on ex‘
celleut guide to correspondence. The
Etiquette of Correspondence. by Helen
E. Gavit and Mrs. John Sherwood’s
last publication. Manners and Boolai
Usages.

A very striking book is R. L. Gar-
ner's account of his life in Africa
studying the languages of apes and
monkeys. Millicent Washburn shinn's
Biography of a Baby is a scientific
study of the baby, with hints as to its
proper care.

The latest book on golf, H. L. r‘itz-
patrick's Golf Don'ts. has been added
to the list of guides to the study of this
George Ade's Fables in Slang,

is a fascinating biography. and How-
ell's Literary Friends and Acquaint-
ance is full of delightful anecdotes.

in fiction and juveniles there are
twenty titles. all readable. but not of
the first importance. Maurice Thomp-

will perhaps be the most often called
for.

St. Luke's, of Stamford, Defeat the
East Norwaik Athletics, 16-10—-
Comp-ny F Boys Beat the Y.

M. c. A.; Score 16-2.

Two of the liveliest basket ball
games of the season were played in
Music Hall. last night. The first game
was between the St. Luke team. of
Stamford. and East Norwaik Athletic
Club team. a,

The former team won by a score of
15-10. it was a lively game from be-
ginning to end, and at times was quite
rough.

Ten fouls were called on the Stem-
ford team dnriug the game and seven
on East Norwaik. The East Norwaik-
ers threw two goals from the foul line.
and St. Luke's three. The East Nor-
w'alkers threw a basket just after play
was started. They then fouled. but
St. Luke's was unable to score from
the foul 1010. The Stamfordites then
braced, and quickly threw a goal.
Stamford fouled, but the East Norwaik-
ei-s failed the basket. Two goals were
then quickly thrown, one by Stamford
and the other by the Athletic Club.
Stamford fouled without advantage to
Exist Norwaik. Stamford, by sharp
playing. made another goal. St. Luke's
fouled again. East Norwaik failed to
profit by it. A foul was then called on
blast Norwaik. Stamford couldn't
roach the basket from the foul line.
East Norwaik fouled again without
loss. St. Luke‘s, by quick work. threw
a goal from the field. but was soon
called for a foul. East Norwaik miss-
ed again from foul line. The Athletics
ended up the first lialf by scoring two
goals from the field. Score at the
cud of first half, 8-8.

St. Luke's started in the second half
with a foul. East Norwaik couldn‘t
throw the basket again. The Athletic
club then made two fouls. from which
St. Luke‘s gained. Stamford scored
another goal from the fluid. After this
gain of four points Stamford fouled
three times in succession. East. Non
walk made one point out of these.

The East Norwalkcrs fouled twice
and Stamford threw the basket from
the foul line once more. St. Luke's
than made their last gain by throwing
a goal from the field. Stamford foul-
ed and East Norwaik coded the game
by making the baskct from tho foul
lino, Score. St. Luke‘s. lb; East Nor-
waik Athletic Club, 10.

The East Norwaik boys were very
unlucky in trying for the basket. Many
times the bail would land on the edge
of lllf' basket. and thou roll off. and

llvcly game. and won worth witness-
ing. 'i‘ouy (lliioito rci‘crccd. and

The i“ boys won by a score of 10-2.
This was the first game the Y. M. (I; A.

had played in many other places he-

work of the Y. M. C. A. boys was very
good. but like the East Norwaik boys.
tiioy were unable to throw the goals.
'i‘hoir showing. as for as team work
was concerned was on a par with that
of the Mouluuks. Play was started
and in a few minutes the Monlauku
