A_ new Interest in the Rowayton
school scandal. which had gradually
been dying a natural death. was awak—
cued. last night. by another letter-writ-
ing episode. The recipient was Mrs.
Charles H. Guider. The letter was post-
marked Rowayton. and the envelope
was addressed "Mrs. Matilda Guider.
Rowayton." It was as IOIIOWs:

Rowayton. 24. 1901.
My Dear Mrs. Guider:

I thought you knew better than
to advocate the case of llicClcllhu‘s.
The. men in the place. I heard Andrew
Mills say. was going to far and feather
you. Theo. Lockwood told In Illbble's
store that Lawyer Warner was after
you. Will Voungs gives you away bad.
What is said III the store: Miss Ervln
has more friends than many think.
Silo has plenty of money and will yet
be principal of the school. There is
twenty men ill Dibble's store tonight.
They are watching for you. as they say
you go by every night to spy on Miss
Erviu. one says she soon you there
last night. Take my advice and do not
go up street. Say nothing to anybody.
as the men will try to kill you. I am
a good friend of Mrs. John Sllcrcr. of
Mills Hill. Will tell you my name.
Say nothing for fear of death. The
White Caps will be after you. McCIeL
Ian. Stevens and all nlust get out. Miss
Ervin is here to stay, whether the.
clique wants her or not. For anything
further go to Mrs. Ida Shercr.

‘ WHITE CAP.

Mrs. Guider was considerably exer-
cised over the receipt of the mlssivc.
as she has been a resident of the vil-
lage for many years.’ She does not
know why‘she was selected as a victim
for the writer. and does not appreciate
the sentiments expressed toward her-
self and other; respected residents of
the village. '

To a Sentinel reporter. this morning,
Mrs. Guider related a peculiar incident
that happened Friday evening. which
may have some bearing on the letter
she received. Slle stated that she re—
ceived a telephone message from Smith

senger to the residence of Constable

on Mrs. Ladrigan. to come to South

FIRE IN NORWALK.

 

Slight Blue Last Night In the Home
of Captain Gorman.

The Norwalk fire department was
called out last night to extinguish a
slight blaze in the upper part of a
house Ill Chestnut street. occupied by
Richard 0. German and sisters. the
Misses Nellie and Bridget Gorman.
’lhe fire was located in the garret
stairway and is explained by the fact
that Mr. Gorman had been cleaning
his bicycle pend in the operation had
used a heated iron. To protect his
hands he had wrapped a cloth around
it and when he finished with it he
threw me cloth into the stairway. It
Is probable that the iron was warmer
than he thought and started the. rag
smouldering and it finally broke into
a blaze. An alarm was sent. to the
electric light station and the siren
was blown. after which an alarm was
turned ill from Box 54 at the corner
of Chestnut and Summer streets.

No water was used by the firemen.
who put out the fire with the olefin
gulshers. thereby saving much need-
less damage. ’1 no new rules govern-
ing the. department were. strictly en-
forced and the efficiency of the depart-
ment was considerably increased. 0w.
ing to the length of time the, siren
at the electric light station blew it was
thought that the fire was a big one
and a very large crowd gathered. ’lile
damage was fully covered by Insur-
unce.

Hereafter anyone releasing a key
from fire. alarm boxes will be. obliged
to report to the officer in charge of
the. fire. Last evening First Assist-
ullt Engineer . . W. Smith had charge.

llnder The dnspires 0i ladies
ill The Twin Cities

A very enjoyable cucllre party anti
entertainment under the auspices of the.
ladies of the Twin Cities. was held last
evening. in St. Mary's parochial school
hall. in Leonard street. Tile affair was
a most successful one ill every way
and this fact bespeaks mucll for the
efforts of the committee who had the
function ill charge. Eight games of
euchre were played anti six minutes
were ‘allowcd for the complction of
catch. The ladies‘ prize went. to Miss
Elizabeth Fitzgerald. and the gentle-
nlen‘s award was won by Michael .1.
Riordan. Miss 'lheresa (lavanagh all-
nouuced the winners. and also acted in
the capacity of mistress of ceremonies.
Among the rules governing the games
each player had to exchange partners
after each game and the winning teams
went ahead one table until the most
forward table was reached and then
back again to the last rear table. There
were several tied for the prizes, Ralph
Connor and M. J. Riordan for the lien-
tleman‘s. and Miss Fitzgerald. Miss
McMahon and Mrs. Buckley. the
ladies.’ The cut of the cards decided
the winners. After the completion of
the card games there was a short en-
tertainment and a farce.

In the entertainment the first num-
ber was a solo. entitled “The Shade
of The Palms." a selection taken from
the well-known success. “Floradora.”
and was sung by Joseph McMahon.
who. as is well known, possesses a fine
tenor voice. He was roundly applaud-
ed. and responded with “The New Born
King."

Miss Florence Jackson. who is pos-
sessed of fine elocutionary powers, re-
cited “The Painter of Seville." and
Miss Norton followed with a solo en-
titled "Bliss.” She responded to en.
core with "Coming Through the Rye."
Edward F. Hands accompanied all the
singers.

The farce entitled “Aunt Poliy's Vis-
Il." was the. last number on the pro-
gram. but by no means the least inter-
esting. It was extremely funny and
kept the audience in continuous laugh-
ter from beginning to the finish. The
cast of characters was: Mrs. Moore.
Miss Lucy Brennan; Mrs. Grover. Miss
Catharine Cavanngh: Biddy. Miss Kate
Malone: Aunt Polly. Miss Griffin.

The. tables were cleared from the
floor. luld dancing was indulged in un-
til shortly after midnight. to music fur.
picked by J. J. Powell‘s orchestra. Tile
committee who had the affair in charge
were: Mrs. William J. Tracey. Mrs. B.

HARTFORD. January lib—From the
complaints which have reached the
state board of pharmacy. the mem-
bers of the board are. satisfied that the
laws regulating the practice of phar-
macy have. been violated in a more
general way than they had supposed.
A meeting of the. board was held in
Merldcn at the office of tile treasurer
of the. board, George L. Ellsbree. All
the members. Richard H. Kimball
(president). and Willis L. Mix (secre-
tary.) and treasure Ellsbrce were
present. The pleating was called to
consider a number of specific cases.
which were. gross violations of the
Iowa of the state. In discussing the
facts relating to these cases the mem-
bers found that each had information
which compelled the conclusion that
the violations were general.

The pharmacy commission finds

that the practice of farming out if-
censes is carried off by a number of
druggists who formerly did business
under the licenses. For one reason or
another the licencees g0 ottt of busi-
ness. For a consideration they sell or
loan their licenses to owners of stores
who are. not pharmacists and who. ill
some instances haVe not cvqn a know-
ledge of the "elements of pharmacy.
Tile public will readily see the dim-
ger to which health and ll.c are expose
ed by this practice of farming out li-
ccnses.
' In one tense in man hired a license
for a consideration froln a licensee
and then went before the New Haven
“Utility commissioners and asked for a
liquor license on the strength of the
farmed otlt drug license and swore
that he was a licensed pharmacist.
The pharmacy commissioners hearing
of the case told the lawful owner of
tile license to remove it from the pre-
mises of the. man to whom he. had
farmed it within ten days or it would
be revoked. 'ihe pharmacy commie.
sioners have decided to revoke every
license which they find is farmed out
or loaned. and this revocation will be
permanent.

Tile pharmacy commissioners desire
to call the attention of druggists to the
necessity of displaying their licenses
In a conspicuous place in their stores.
the commissioners find that. in some
instances the druggists kept the li-
censes Ill cash drawers and in other.
pierces where the licenses callnoi be
seen.

III a great many cases the commis-
sioners find that it is the custom for
druggists to leave their stores in
charge of an unregistered clerk. This
the commissioners are. determined to
stop. If the owner of the store wish—
es to leave if for any length of time
he. must place it in charge of a com
potent clerk who is registered so that
at all times prescriptions may be
compounded with accuracy and under
authorized supervision.

If the commmissioners have erred at
all It is on the side of leniency. They
now find that this leniency has been
grossly abused and at all hazards anti
without any regard for persons they
will put. a stop to the abuse. They
will use all the power which the law,
gives them to compel those who dis-
ipellse drugs to rigidly comply with the
aw.

At the short calendar session of the
civil Superior Court. yesterday. Judge
Silas A. Robinson disposed of several
matters. The quantum“ of assigning
cases for next \veck came up. but it
was shown that the Troy & Son vs. Gil-
lespie Bros... Stamford case would
take all the week. so no assignments
were made.

This will. Ill all probability. end
the court business for this term. There.
is plenty of it ahead and counsel are
anxious to try. but it will have to go
over. Munv lawyers are now sorry
that they allowed so much of the
October term to no to waste. It is the
way things go every year. Counsel
think there is pleutv of time and noth-
ing mttch Is done III the first term of
the year. Then there is a rush to get
in. Suddenly some case turns up that
takes about five fillies as long as t‘.()llll-
sci thought. likely. and as a result
lllany cases are thrust aside.

The question of asSIgning jury cases
for the following week came up. btlt
the majority of lawyers opposed it and
It was not pressed. Cases for trial by
the jury will be assigned next Friday.
it is understood that there will be
plenty of business ready for the good
men who will be selected oil the panel.

In the action brougnt to decide the.
many legal questions raiser] in the act-
tlcment of the estate of the late Joseph
Richardson counsel agreed to have
them all go to a committee and Charles
E. Gross. of Hartford. was selected as
the lawyer to act. Judge Robinson con-
firmed the selection.

An unusual condition of affairs was
disclosed in the case of Frank H. Hoyt.
trustee. against John H. Gourille.
Plaintiff. who is a carpenter and build
er in Stamford. put up a. handsome
house in Greenwich for the defendant
at a cost of 834.000. There is a dispute
about it and plaintiff claims a balance,
due of 00.000. The case came to the
slant calendar on the. plaintiff's motion
fol judgment or answer. It was dis-
closed that the defendant’s health is
very bad and be has been ordered to
Europe. He will return Ill April. His
counsel asked tiult he might have un-

til April 10 to file the answer. The.
motion was granted.

NEW YORK. January 25n’l‘llc coro-
ner‘s investigation as to the callscs
of the recent disaster ill the tunnel of
the New York Central railroad in this
city was brought to a close last night.
when the jury. after being out three
hours and five minutes. returned with
a verdict. completely exonerating John
M. Wiskcr anti E. (l. Fylcr. the crew of
the locomotive which crashed into the
're ar end of the ill‘fafcd train. causing.
ttlu death of seventeen people. The
‘ verdict places the blame for the condi-
. tions leading up to the accident on the
1officials of the railroad. Both Wiskcr

iiTltl Fyler were immediately discharg-
cd from custody by the coroner.

After reciting the details of the ac-
cident the verdict continues:
. “We find that the engineer. John M.
l\‘\'isker. owing to the heavy atmos-
lpllcrl; due to weather conditions. to-
gether with the presence of large bod.
lea of steam and smoke escaping from
trains passing on the various tracks
iin said tunnel. obscuring said signal.
was unable to locate said danger sig-
uni

 

' “We further find faulty management
on the part of the officials of the New
York Central and Hudson River Rail-
,road. and hold said officials responsi-
t bin, for the reason that during the past
ticn years said officials have been re-
lpcatedly warned by their locomotive
icngineers. and other employees. of the

 

dangerous conditions existing in this
Itdnnel. Imperillng the lives of thous-l
lands of passengers. and they have fail-l
ed to remedy said conditions; and also|
[for the reason that certain Improve-
tments in the way of both visible and
I audible signals could have. been install-
Ied and the disaster thereby have been
averted, and for the further reason
that. no regulation of speed at which
trains should run In said tunnel has
been enforced. thereby allowing en-
gineers to exercise their own discre-
tion."

After tllc verdict was read, the roll
of the jury was then called. each juror
responding to his name. Tile coroner
then thanked and dismissed them.
