on. Tho street commissioners were
notified to take the preliminary steps
toward beginning the pavement of
Washington street with brick. and var-
ious other matters beguiled the hours
between Sand 10 o'clock.

The hearing on .the laying out of
Cedar street was held and the work be-
gun by the appointment of a committee

ted three y‘eérs ago ind approved by
the property owners on Cedar street.
I think that the. layout meets with the
approval of the residents of that street

People III the Vicinity of‘

Plenty of fuel the Past Win-

ter at $2 and $3 a Inn and
Owners are Investigating

A number of people in Rownyton are
wondering if anything will be likely
to happen to theur in the near future.
and the cause of all the worry In over
the l‘Ilt‘lllillPiIlh with wlrlch they hare
procured coal during the past season of
cold Wt'iliilt‘l‘ and high [it'll-cs.

'l‘lIIIsc citizens. and a number of them
.:II'II \"t‘II-iU-lIl), I'll‘t- thoroughly respect-
lublII, and have always stood high in
'tlII- estimation of other people III the
I village

The trouble commenced as early as
last fall. when sevrrul of the unscrup-
Irlcus captains on coal barges consign-
I (III to Wilson‘s l'oint conceived the idea
of selling a few tons from each of the.
cargoes believing that the owners and
Ionslgnees would never know anything
of the matter. Various prices were t‘lx-
ed on a ton of coal. but some of the
people in thII vicinity of the Point have
been known to secure a ton of it for
$2 and 33. while people purchasing of
tlrrI local dealers paid 810 and 812, and
[could not always get as much as they

wanted at the bum price even. A
iltunbury dealer Iialms he was sixty-
five tons short on a barge load of four
hundred tons.

A number of Rownyton people made
use of their oyster boats in the trans»
portatlou of the coal. and delivered It
to friends in the village for a small rc-
I muneratlon. It is impossible, of course.
to estimate the quantity of coal that
has been disposed by the captains of
the barges. but it appears that the
owners bcI-snre cognizant of the fact
that some of the consignees Iwere gct~
ting short weight. and started an In-
vestigation.

The past week ii number of notices
were posted In liowuyton offering a
reward of 825 for the arrest and corr-
viction of any person or persons who
was guilty of complicity in taking the
coal. One of these notices was placed
on the public sign post opposite Mead
llrothers‘ store, and another was locat-
ed in Charles H. Guldor‘a store, and In
other points about the business center.
The. notices were poster] drrrlng the
afternoon. but the next morning there
were none to be found. all having mys~
tcrlously disappeared and strangely -
I enough no one new who had removed
I them or where they had gone.

I A coupleI of weeks ago as n skiff load
of coal was being taken from Wilson' 3
‘Point to Hickory Bluff; by a well-

[known Rowayton captain and his two

Isons. the vessel suddenly went down.
and the occupants find to swim for
their lives. The men barely escaped
I.iro\vriing and were nearly frozen when
they finally reached land. The boat

I and most of the coal has since been in.

ODITUARV NOTES.

' HOWARD HINKLE

The. sad news of the death of Howardi
Hlnkle was received with deep regret
in Norwalk, yesterday afternoon. by a
large number of friends. Mr. Hlnkle
was a former student at Professor Carl
A. Harstrom'sschool. and when taken
III a few weeks ago. of typhoid fever.
at New Haven, was a member of the
'05 class. Shefiield Scientific School,
Yale University. After being stricken
with the disease. Mr. Hiakle was re-
moved to his home in Cincinnati, and
despite the best of medical attention
and nursing. he passed away yestc'rday
morning. Mr. Hlnkls was very popu~
Isr in Norwalk. especially In society,

 

. and after leaving the Harltrom school.

I resigned one year before I left Nor-

walk on account of my health. but our
friendship and fellowship was so
lstrong that although I had resigned
Ithey would have me to fill the pulpit
luntil I left, the following year after
i my resignation. Perhaps someone
I might have wanted me to leave, but I
i don't know that. But if I had known of
Isuch person or persons I would have
left when they wanted me to. for I
would not then staid until I got them
to love me, and then they would want
me. to stay. This would be the timr'I
when I would leave. and this would
be the time they would would miss me.
because they loved me; not because
they hated me.

So I will say that the Grace Baptist
Church and myself are in friendship
and fellowship and have been ever
since I left and before. for we have
kept up our correspondence right along
for the two and one-half years that l

have been away. (Signed)

Maorrell has not he been since Mon-

n.oon His wife does no. know
whether he is dead or alive, and his
former employers are in ignorance re“
gardlng him.

Monday Mr. Morrell went to his

lime and had dinner as usual. He ap-
neareda to be In good spirits. and kissed
his wife and child good-bye after the
meal. “I am going to go to Bridge-
port this afternoon." said he. Leav‘l
Iiig the house he evidently started for
the Park City, but no one thus far
found can say doibiltely whether he
did or not. There was no one at the
office of the Eledirld Express Company
and the concern hall not been notified
of Mr. Morrell's absence II was not

discovered until yesterday been when

Mr. Cole received a .tRIpphoue ruessagc
from South Norwalk stating that lIls
office here had been closed for in!)
days. He immedia ely came here and
brought Ir man wit blin whom he put
in charge of the place

Mrs. Morrell was seen this afternoon
by a Sentinel reporter. She was ob.
solutely mystified about the where
abouts of her husband. She said that,
he went away Monday been saying that
he was going to Bridgeport, but that
he had not returned.

“He often went to Bridgeport." she
said, “but he has always returned at
night. I have no Idea what has become
of him. He has never been away be-
fore like this and I cannot understand
it at all. At first I thought that some
accident might have happened to him
which would detain him. but. I would
have heard of it had anything of the
kind occurred. He was not a drinking
man that I know of. He had never ex-
pressed any desire to go away, to me.
at least. I would like to get some
news of him, but I have no idea where
to look."

An Inquiry was mode at the lust
Norwalk office of Cole‘s Electric Ex
press. The manager stated that he
knew nothing about Mr. Morrell, ex-
clept that. he was no longer working
i turn.

”Are his, accounts straight?" risked
the reporter.

“As to that, I could not say. Mr.
Cole would probably know. I guess he
is at his office In New Haven, but I
rather expect that h will be here this
afternoon. We rote ed no intimation
that Mr. Morrell was about to leave.
and did not known until yesterday
noon that he had gone. Then I was
sent here by Mr. Cole and have been
here since. I know nothing about Mr.
Morrell except that be Is not here and
a great many people are enquiring ab-

, out him.‘

An attempt was made to interview
Mr. 00‘s by telephone. but he could
not be found either at the New Haven
or Bridgeport offices of the. company
and none of the employees knew where
he was. It Is probable. however. that
he is on his way‘to this city.

Not many persons are aware of the

The bones and skin. which are ground
[up by artists' colormen and sold in
tiny tubes. are those of mummies tak-
Ien out of the Egyptian mausoleums.

In the manufacture of artists' colors,

stances are largely used, states the De
