their element and the evening will be
pleasantly remembered until another
year rolls around.
‘The dancing was of the highest or-
der, and Mr. Nowell felt proud of his
efforts as he watched the merry trip~
pers glide gracefully over the floor.
it could be seen that they had been
well trained in the art and that they
had considerable practice before on
terifig the hall. Many of the dancers
were quite young, but they in every in-
stance went through the different

it is now nearly three years since
David S. R. Lambert was murdered at
his home fun the town of Wilton. by his
former pupil, Benjamin Willis. who
has paid the penalty of his crime, by
hanging. Nothing since then has
shocked the little village of South Wllc
ion until last Monday. No murder was
committed. but the people were really
shocked to think that in that quiet lit-
tle place. some of the meanest people
that will 'be found on the face of the
earth, reside.
An attack was made upon Mrs. Ada
G. Adams. widow of William H. Adams.
a well-known printer, of Norwaikm
which the defenseless woman intends
to resent by taking the matter into the
courts. Earl’y Monday morning. after
it was day ght. some one hailed a
board, one y two feet in size. on a
lamp post. which is situated directly In
front of the residence of Mrs. Adams

The latter is well liked by nearly ev-
erybody In the borough. Every neigh-
bor spoke well of Mrs. Adams. They
said that she was a defenseless widow.
and it was a shame that she should be
treated In that way. She Is a hard-
working women. and has always home
the best reputation.
Mrs. James Benedict. who resides a
short distance from the Adams resi-
dence. said there was no doubt at all
that Mr, Hsnford had nailed up the
sign, as she heard he intended to do
so. She would not say that she had
heard him say so herself, but she left
that impression. “i did not think he
would do such a thing." said Mrs. Ben-
edict. “It Is the most outrageous af-
fair I have ever heard of. i would be
willing to go on the witness stand and
testify to what i know about the affair.
Everyone else should be."
Mrs. Adams moved from Norwalk
about three years ago into the resi-
dence of Captain Beattle, which is io-
cutod about two minutes’ walk from
the South Wilton railroad station. Re-
verses cnme. one after another. until
she was unable to pay her rent. Cap-
tain Beattle. who resides In New York
was in South Wilton one day last sum-
mer, and called upon Mrs. Adams. He
told her that she could remain In his
house as long as she wanted to with-
out paying a cent of rent. Mr. Beattle
has been as good as his word. He did
not press her for rent money.
But when the property changed hands
until A. L. Elger got hold of it, there
was a change. Mr. Hanford was re-
tained as agent, and he did not propose
to allow Mrs. Adams to remain in the
house without paying rent. She would
pay a dollar at a time, whenever she
could get it. but It was not sufficient to
balance accounts. Mr. Hanford served
a dispossess notice on her last Febru-
ary. Without a cent of money. and no
place to 30, Mrs. Adams was In a bad
predicament.
She remained In the house, and a
short time afterwards. another notice
was served on her to quit. She tried In
every way lmaglnablo to get a place to
go. She told Mr. Hauford- that as soon
as she could get a house she would
move. Empty houses in South Wilton
are scarce. Mrs. Adams did not care
to move out of town, so she. waited and
watched for an empty tenement. She

relative from New York purchased at

to go and live with his family.
She had no money to move the goods.
so this relative bore. the expense of

loads were taken and still there Is an-
other Ioad left In the house. it is
thought that the last of the goods will
be taken away today. _
