Michael Saabados. fifty-five years old,
married, his family, residlngiuxlfium
gory, was struck and instantly killed
by the west~bound White Mount in all-
press, at. Mechanic street, a 6:46
o’clock. last. evening. _

Hillbillies wasyemployed on a farm,
by Iiiirauk Godfrey, in. Saugatuck. He
boarded with Mr. and Mrs. Johan Buss.
No.18 Hoyt street,‘80uth Norwaik. He
arrli'ed home every night on the ac-
commodation train that reaches South
Norwalk at 6:40. and was in the habit
of walking down the track to his home;
after gettingoff the train.

Last night he started own the track,
as usual, not thinking of any danger.
The White Mountain express was late,
owing to the very heavy treble at this
time of year. and this fact alone is
probably what caused the unfortunate
man’s death. ' :

He went down to the end of the plat-’
form. below the fences. and than on.
the track. By this time the baggage
from the train he had lust left had
been transferred. The bell began to
ring, and the accommodation moved
out,"leav1ng’ Osabados on the adjoining
track, walking to his doom. The ex-
press does not stop at South Norwalk.
except when flagged. Last night it
thundered right through, and was run
ning at a high rate of speed.

The noise of the accommodation
drowned the' roar of the express. and
before Csabsdos knew it, he was hurl-
ed into the air many feet, landing on,
the outside track of the eastabound
trains. He probably never knew what
struck him, for death must have been
instantaneous. Theupper part of his
body was badly- erus‘hed. His right

Baller'. He saw Snabados‘on he track
and called, Mrs. Butler’s attention to
him. He thdught it was strange that
he did not get of! when the express was
coming behind him. Suddenly it flash-
ed across his mind that Csabndos did
not know the express was coming. He
shouted with all his might. but the
rumbling of the accommodation train
drowned his voice. and to his, and Mrs.
Baller‘s horror, with their eyes riveted
on the doomed man, unable to lock in
any other direction. they saw him
hurled high into the air. With a shriek,
Mrs. Boiler fell to the flobr. Some one
came to her assistance. while Mr. Le.
hocski rushed to the spot where the
body lay. He sent a little boy to the
west-bound baggage room. and Assist»
ant Baggagemaster Clarence Reardon
gave orders for tile body to be remov-
ed to the baggage room. It was car-
ried there. ‘~

Officer Walter Hall was soon on the
scene. and at times, he had hard work
from keeping the -immense crowd that
swarmed to the piece, from forcing
their way into the baggage room. Word
was sent to Medi Examiner S. H.
Huntington. Pond pg. his arrival many
Hungarians on thcoutsldc of thedcpot
were clamoring to get in. stating that
they knew the unfoctunate man.

When the medical examiner arrived,
little Stephen Haddock, fourteen years
old, son of James Haddock, who resides
' in Benton street. was allowed in the
baggage room. The body was turned
over. and Stephen recognized the dead
man as Saabndos. who had worked with
him for Mr. Godfrey. pulling onions
nearly all summer. Then Mr. Buza ar‘
rived. and he also recognized him as
his boarder. Several other Hungarians
knew the man. so there was no mistake
as to the identity.

Dr. Huntington gave the order. and
the body was removed to the undertak-
ing establishment of D. W. Raymond.
in Washington street. A silver watch
was found in one of the pockets of the
man's clothing. The hands had stqp~
pod at- iliiii. whichwent to show that
was the time Ssabados was killed.

ENGINEER indium lbs

The City Fathers Jelleve the Sewer
Should be Reisld before a Large
Amount of Money is Expand.
ed In Permanent Repairs.

 

 

The most interesting business that
came before the adjourned meeting of
the South NorwalkCommon Council.
last night, was the matter that was
discussed at length—e-the repaving of
East Washington street with vitrified
brick. it came before the Council as
a report from Charles N. Wood, the
civil engineer.‘ Street commissioner
Charles B. Stevens presented it, and
immediately there was a lively discus~
s on.

The matter of the present sewer in
the thoroughfare was taken up.‘nnd it
was found that portions of it would not
be adequate to carry away all the sur-
face waste and sewage. So another re'
port. which was connected with the
one on paving, was also submitted for
approval. in connection with the sewer.

it was brought out quite vividly that
it would be folly to go ahead and lay
vitrified brick in the thoroughfare.
when the sewer was not in proper con-
dition. it was said that it would only
be a matter of a short time before a
hole would have to be made in the
pavement. and when once broken. it
was never as good as originally.

Part of the way through the ther-
oughfare, there is only an eighteen-
inch sewer. and the rest is a twenty-
four inch sewer. The eighteenvinch
sewer is Rosenthal cement pipe, and it
was the intention of Mr. Wood noisy a
twenty-four inch, vitrified stoneware
pipe. He thought that this would be
adequate for all time.

He estimated the cost to be $2,820.02,
and divided it up as follows: 910 lineal
feet of twenty-four inch pipe, at '2.
81.820; live brick manholes, at 825.
$125; 114 six-inch branches. at $2.80.
$319.20 : connectllls present sewer pipes
with new sewer. $300, and ten percent.
for contingencies. engineering and in,~
isolating. $240.42. making the above to-
n . 1 ‘ -

The totalestimated cost for paving
the street. Mr. Wood has figured will
be 811,334.40. divided as follows: 4,680
yards of brick, at $2.05 a yard. 39.594:
1.400 lineal feet of curbing, at 26 cents
per foot. $350: sixty lineal feet of gran-
ite steps. 8360: ten per cent. for con-
tingencies, engineering and inspecting.
$103.04. The portion which by law
would have to be paid for by the Con-
necticut Railwny‘snd Lighting Com-
pany. is 1,210 square yards, at $2.05 per
yard, $2,480.50. and the portion by the
city. $8,853.90.

After the sewer and pavement mat-
ters had been discussed to the generiil
satisfaction of all members. the report
of Mr. Wood was referred to the com-
mittee on streets.

A vote was then taken, requesting the
mayor to call a special city meeting to
be held in Arlon Hall. next Monday
night, for ice purpose of determining
whether this pavement shall be laid.
and to appropriate the necessary am-
ount for the purpose.

The hearing on the layout of Hillside
Place, was the next important matter.
and this also .brought out much discusu
sion. ,. Some‘were in favor of widening.
grading and laying out the street. while
other-swore not. A lengthy letter from
Lewis H. Nash. against the layout of
the street'was read. Mr. Nash. as true-
tee «of the estate of" D. K. Nash, whose
property is along the thoroughfare pro-
posed to be laid out, was present. and
protected strongly against the freehold-
ers assessing benefits to the estate to
the amount of $20. A resolution was
finally draftetd, modifying and chang-
ing the report. so that the assessment
was struck out. The report was then
accepted and adopted. The damages
and amusements were 3215 each. and
the damages over benefits and benefits
over damages were 8100 each.

When the meeting was called to or-
der-by Mayer Mortimer M. Lee. shortly
after 8 o'clock. the only absent member
of the Council was Lester J. Waterbury.
The first business taken up was the
1 matter of surface water in Reed street.
William H. McMahon appeared and told
of the many inconveniences the real-
dentson that thoroughfare are put to,
owing to t c inadequacy of the sewage
system. Considerable time was taken

of the Council thought that something
ought to bedone and they referred the
matter to the street committee. with
power to act. it is probable that rellcf
will be had in a very short time.

The matter of back pay for Samuel
McGowan. which has been hanging lire
a longtime. was again discussed. it
came, before, the Council as a report
from the committee on fire department.
to which committee lthud been ref r-
red." The committee reported progro .

TORRiNGTON. September _4-Dr.
Hudson .1. Pulver, a leading homeopa-
thic practitioner in Torringtour, met
what was undoubtedly instant death
while driving from Litchileld co Tor-
rington shortly before mldnight,alast
night. being thrown from his carriage
on to a heap of stones by the roadside
on the famous Toll Gate hill, over two
miles out on the Litehlleld road. l‘lie
exact manner in which the accident
happened will probably never be
known. as the physician was alone at
the time and his body was not found
until some time afterward. the first
lntimatio that. any one had of the
casualty ing when one of the horses
belonging to the team which the doc-
tor wss driving came dashing up, with
broken traces dangling. to the stables
in this borough. A searching party was
at once organized and the body of the
physician was found as stated. The
other horse was discovered lying dead
in a brook some little distance to the
Torrington side of the place where the
accident occurred. the carriage being
close by. indicating that the team had
run on some distance after the occuv
pant of the carriage had been thrown
out, striking the rail of the bridge

 

of the hill, the impact freeing one
horse and killing the. other.

Dr. Puiver left Torrington for Litch-
field about 5:30 o'clock last night to
call upon his friend. It. A. Bronson. of
New Haven, who was stopping at the
Hawxhurst. in Litchiield. The two
drove on to the Bantam Lake house
had supper there, returned to thcll-
field, and spent some time in the vil-
lage. Dr. Pulver left the hill town at
about 11 o‘clock. and the last seen 01
him alive was when be bid Mr. Bron~
son good night it is surmised mat
the team got beyond his control while
descending the steep bill, that the pay.
sician vitae thrown out near the foot
of the declevity. and that the team
went dashing on to the bottom. where
the horse was killed and the carriage
smashed. The body was brought to
Torrington and the decision of the
medical examiner and other physicians
is that death came instantaneously
through concussion of the brain.

The deceased was a native of West
Torrington and was forty-two years of
age. He was a graduate of the New
York Homeopathic College and had
practiced in Torrington since 1883, his
specialty being the treatment of chil-
dren's distress. in which he was very
successful. His "wife. Grace Coe Pul-
ver. M. D.. had been engaged in prac-
ties with him since a short time after
their marriage in 1890. Dr. Pulver was
a member of numerous fraternal socie-
ties and was a Free Mason of advanced
degree.

CHICAGO, September 4~What the
firemen say was a well-arranged plan
to destroy the Orphson Theatre build-
ing, in Washington street. opposite the
city hall, was made shortly after-mid-
night.

The building is a four-story struc-
ture, and many of the rooms. are occuo
pied’as offices by various firms. The
principal occupant is the Music Hall
Company; now operating the Orpheon
Theatre. .

Assistant Fire Marshal Koran and
his men discovered evidences of incen-
diarlsm in a room on the fourth floor.
This evidence now in the hands of the
fire department consists of one large
bottle containing gasoiene. two glasses
half filled with kerosene oil. and sev-
eral candles burned almost to the end.
The firemen also have a bundle of rags
soaked in oil and a quantity. of charred
newspapers.

On the floor a trail of powder was
also found.

The fire was first discovered by ped-
estrians. who were attracted by what
sounded l e a small explosion. An
alarm w given. but the quick arrival

of the e department prevented what
might ve been a serious fire.

The ct that the explosion occurred
after 8 theatre was closed is regard-

ed a 0st fortunate. if the explosion,
as planned. had occurred earlier in the
eveningsdisastrous results; might have
followed, as. there were many people in
the house. ‘ . ' .»
The matter will be thoroughly inves—
tigated by the authorities today.
