i ‘Wuslieled
Center School District
will Place Another Story
on Present Building. at a
best of About $7,000—
A Three Mill lax laid
At its adjourned meeting last night.
the Center School District voted to
build another story to its present
building, which will give four addition-
al rooms. The improvements will cost
about $7,000. The meeting also voted
to lay a tax of three mills, the same. to
be collected on the basis of the 1903
grand list and to be payable May 1st.
1904. The addition will be built dur—
ing the present vacation period of the
school.
The committee, composed of J. Bol—
dcn llarlbutt, the Rev. George 1). Eg-
bert, E. L. Boyer, Charles N. Arnold
and M. J. Riordan. recommended the
building of an additional story in pre—
fercnce to a ground addition. either on
the north side or the south side of
the present building.
The additional story was voted for
with very little voiced opposition, but
when the ballots were cast it was
found that there were nineteen nays.
while the yeas numbered thirty—eight.
After the meeting had been called
to order by the chairmiin, Mayor Char-
les L, Glover, and the minutes of the
last meeting were read, Mr. Hurlbutt
reported in behalf of the committee.
He said that first, the committee had
spent considerable time in going over
the needs of the district in the matter
of greater nccomodations and room
for the children of the district, and.
second, the best way of providing for
these needs and at the very lowest
cost. In determining the best method
the committee had considered the sug-
gestions of every person interested
enough in the district to make sugges-
tions. One plan considered was for
an ell on the north side of the pre-
sent building, and another, an
extension oil the south side of the
building. Thevcosta of each of these
bad been.,fl$’ured_a ximately. but
with reasons. leased {and the plan
of a third story to the present two
story structure had also been consid-
Contlnued on lixth Page.

Log Crashed Through the Side of Blan-
chard'a Mill. and Stone Struck
Boy in the Forehead.
There was considerable excitement
on the pipe line of the City of Nor-
walk's new sixteen inch water main
yesterday afternoon. and all kinds of
reports reached Norwalk. One report
even was to the effect that four men
hiid been killed.
The truth of'the matter was that
while some blasting was being done in
a trench near the former Blanchard
mill, the chain with which the logs
over the blast were secured was brok-
en by the force of the blast and one
log crashed into the mill. breaking out
fifteen small panes of glass. The mill
is now. conducted by Water Commis-
sioner l‘ranirfin Animfth. 'of South
Norwalk as a fur factory,
An Italian boy who had taken refuge
behind a tree several hundred yards
away, peaked around the side of the
tree an instant after the blast and
was struck on the forehead by a small
stone. The injury was not serious and
merely caused a little blood to flow.
The boy wiped ,his forehead and work-
cd for the remainder of the afternoon.
it is said that Charles N. Taylor,
the contractor who has the work, is
making good progress considering the
unfavorable weather with which he has
been obliged to contend.

He told Mr. Bulkley that he wanted to
buy some cartridges for his son, but
after he had said so. he remembered
that he had failed to ascertain the cal-
lbre of the cartridges that the boy
wmted. He said that he would go
back and find out. While the clerk was

ed out. After he had gone it was dis
covered that two revolvers were miss-
lng. Mr. Bulkley saw the man pass by
a little later in the day somewhat un-
der the influence of liquor. He tele
phoned to Chief of Police William Voll-
mer. who sent Captain Pennington and
Officer Raymond out. They apprehend-
ed the man. He denied that he had
taken the revolvers.
Chief Vollmer began an investiga-
tion, however, and found that Knapp
had sold the revolvers to a couple of
men in Lubrano's saloon in Spring-
‘wood. Judge Taylor in the town court
this morning sentenced Knapp to
twenty days in jail and to pay costs.

mlttee Presents Plan to

The meeting of the. stockholders of
the Norwalk Lock Company, yester.
day afternoon. at the company’s office.
in South Norwalk, was one of the larg-
est ever held, and from the enthusi-
asm shown. doubtless better results
are to be expected for this well-
known concern in the near future. it
is believed that the. company will soon
again have some four hundred or five.
hundred men in its ellipioy. Owing to
the facl that such Important matters
of a large concern cannot be decided
on a moment's notice, the proposition
of the special committee. composed of
Congressman E. .1. Hill and R. J.
Plumb, treasurer of the Eagle Lock
Company, of Terryviile. will be voted
on by the stockholders at another
meeting to be held at the office on

presided over by the new president of
the lock company. Frank S. Cowles.
who is already in charge. and who for
a number of years was in charge of
the company's New York office.
through which a large share of the
business has been transacted.
Congressman Hill‘s motion that the
reading of the minutes of the last
meeting be dispensed with prevailed.
and then Mr. Hill read the commit-
t‘ee's report on a plan of re-organlza-
t on.
The committee recommended first.
the reduction of the present capital of
$230,000. to just one-third of this
amount. or “6.6677. Thus the present
holdings of stockholders will be reduc-
ed in value to the one-third. This last
sum represents the present inventor-
ied worth of the present working con—
cern. In addition to this the commit-
tee recommended that an amount of
preferred stock equal to the reduced
capital be issued. the preferred stock
proceeds to be used for working capl— '
tal. A dividend of sel'cu per cent. will

Paramour of Mra. Mattie Whitiock-
Jackson, Formcrly of South Nor-
walk, Accused of Capital Crimea.
The wife of Harry Dreyfus, who
made a notorious record in Stain-
ford by conducting "The Cottage," a
disorderly house Ill Pacific street, told
the New York police yesterday, that
Dreyfus had admitted to her that he
had committed three murders, two of
them being the killing of two children
and the third the killing of a farmer
named Jones, living in ltedbank, N. J.
Dreyfus has not been in Stamford
since early in April, as far as the police
are aware. At that time “The Cot-
tage." about which many complaints
were made, was raided, and Dreyfus
was fined and a jail sentence imposed.
the latter being suspended on condi-
tion that he leave town. He was then
living with Mattie Whitiock, also
known as Mattie Jackson, who gave
the Stamford police evidence about
other disorderly houses. which result-
ed in a wholesale raid being made on
the evening of April 8. Dreyfus had
previously been before the court. on a
charge of assault on a bartender nam-
ed Downing, and was fined. He went to
Stamford a little. over a year ago. He
had been living in New Rochelle, and
conducted a butcher shop there. When
he went to Stamford he managed the
Whitechapel_ which was closed a few
weeks ago. and the proprietor. C. DJ.
Haight, arrested, and later formed a
business partnership with Mattie
Whitiock-Jackson, in conducting a dis.
orderly house at “The Cottage." This
was one of the worst places of its
kind that has ever been in Stamford.
Until Dreyfus met Mrs, Whitiock it
is understood that he got along well
with his wife, who was living in New
Rochelle. After leaving Stamford.
Dreyfus went to Mamaroneck and
rented a place there. but when the
owner found out his record he would
not allow him to open the house. He
then came to South Norwalk and stop-
ped here a couple of weeks before the
police got after him. He was arrested
and lined, and, the last heard of him in
Stamford, he was in New York.
He was a well built man and had the
appearance ofbelng a Russian Jew.

ed, sortie years ago, two larger steam-

ing cut in two. by Greene Brothers on

six feet built in the middle. so that she
will be, when completed, 110 feet long
and twenty-two feet beam. She will be
able to carry about 5,000 bushels of
oysters.
H. C. Rowe & Co. expect to use her

their.grounds in Rhode Island waters.
also for catching matured and fatten-
ed oysters from their beds in Narra
gansett Bay and bringing them to their

She will have two additional gang-
ways. where dredges can be used. Sho

try of Connecticut is but little appre-
elated, but some idea of the extent of
oyster lands used by this firm may be

the state of Connecticut 11,152 acres.
or about 16 square miles. which is
equivalent to about four times the sur-
face of New Haven harbor. In addi-
tion to this immense area.‘ this firm
rents from the state of Rhode Island a
large amount of ground, paying that
state the sum of over $3,600 a year in
rentals. ,
The great extentlof the business ren-
ders the use of sudh a steamer as the
Ruel uowe very advantageous.
