PROSECUTING LIQUOR AGENTS.
Commissioners Provide for Norwalk,
chtport and Fair-field.
The county commissioners yesterday
appointed several prosecuting liquor
agents. Clitus H. Kling was again
named for Fairfleld, E. hf. kwood
for Norwalk and Henry‘R. erwood
for Westport. These are all reappoint-
meats.
There were no contests for the posi-
tlon. For some reason or other the of»
tice is not generally sought after. In
some of the larger places the commis-
sioners have often found it difficult to
secure a man who would take the place.
There are several other positions yet
to be filled. Appointments will prob-
ably be made in a few days.

followed by a Session last
Night
The first meeting of the Conference
of Christian Workers, Tuesday after-
noon. was opened by the singing of
several hymns. Mr. Vanderwerkin, of
Stamford, read the second chapter of
Ephesians, as the Scripture lesson. and
uttered prayer. This was followed by
the singing of a duett by Miss Murphy
and Geraldine Harding, of New York.
Miss Guldstein began her remarks by
saying, "It is easy to serve God on the
mountain top, but not so easy In the

Joseph liabinowitz, of Russia, in the

Miss Goldsteln said: "i am going to

about them in the eleventh chapter of
ltomans. "So many people cannot
think of the Jews as they once were,
so wonderfully honored of God. Their

believed this and prayed as he believ-

preached first to the Jews. There is a
great difference of feeling among
Christians towards Jews. Some treat
them with contempt, but without rea-

were pagans, buttliclrs were kings
and priests of God. They are the blood
aristocracy of the world. They are not
drunkards, not beggars. and very few

Stephen S. Hatch and Franklin A.

Board of Water Commissioners for die
City of South Norwalk, drove to Wil-

in that place. No word has yet been
received from Contractors Bartlett dc
Eldredge, of Ossinlng, N. Y., and the
commissioners propose to go ahead at

of twenty-inch pipe line remaining uu-
finished.
An effort was made to see Contrac-

teeu~inch main in Silvermine for the
City of Norwalk, and if possible to
.make satisfactory arrangements with
him the line will be finished by, Mr.
Taylor. The latter will not be in Nor»

Richard Delehauty, who has been

yesterday from a plank while wheeling
on board a schooner at the dock there.
He struck on a barrel and was badly
bruised. He started to continue his

dition to do so. He complained of
"feeling queer" and before anyone
could reach him. he pitched forward
and sustained a deep and painful cut
on his forehead. where it came in con-
tact with one of the planks of the
wharf. He was assisted to his homo.

Bank and Town Refund to Pay Notes
From Which Detouiiing Clla‘hior
Sherwood Profittcd.
The town of Fairfloid Is the defen-
dant in an action bro ht by the Con—
necticut National Ban, of Bridgeport,
to recov er flit. 000 damages The action
grows out or the defalcatlon of Oliver
’1‘. Sherwood. cashier of the Son 11
port National bank, and is very much
of the Marsh Brothers', Bridgeport,
brand.
it appears that the town. thrdugh
its board of selectiuen. has been in
the habit of borrowing from the
Southport bank on notes to meet r1111-
iiing expenses and then paying off
the notes when the taxes came in.
On September I. 1901, the town bor-
rowed 35,000. Again on November 8.
84,000 was borrowed. while 84,000 more
was obtained on paper on December II.
On July I, 1902, the town paid off
all these notes. -The money was
handed over by check from Francis
P. Sherwood, tow treasurer. and
brother of the defu ting cashier.
When the checks More handed in to
the Southport bank the town treasu-
rre was assured that the notes would
be forthcoming for cancellation in a
few days. but unlike the cat, they
never came back.
Nothing more was thought of them
until Sherwood skipped to parts un-
known and then the matter was looked
into. it was then found that Oliver
Sherwood had endorsed the notes ov-
er to the Connecticut National bank
and paid the interest up to January 1
I903, or six months after the town had
paid up.
Unable to get satisfaction out of the
Southport institution the Connecticut
bank tiiade demand upon the towa.
ilut the town refused to pay.
When asked about the matter yesteit'f
day County Commissioner Simeo
l’ease, who is first sclectman of Fair-
ileiii, said that he did not think the
town would lose.’ is believed that the
S'outhport batik w old he held for the
notes. Mr. Peace said the town held
the cancelled checks to show that pay
ment had been made.
The case is very similar to the situ-
ation in which William H. liarty
found himself in his dealings with
Charles ll. Marsh. lie paid off a note
and was told that the paper would be
forthcoming later. But he never re
ceived it and later was sued on it. The
case wont to a jury and he won out. (in
the appeal to the supreme court the
iudy' a verdict was sustained.
There niny be features In this case
which make 11 difference. In legal cir-
cles generally the paper is always con-
sidered the best evidence and parties
have to stand the his if they fall to
cancel. The outcome of this action will
be awaited with interest if it goes to
trial.

lwn Men Secured fur-

the Goods in Nerwalk freight
House
For the past week. two men, giving
their names as S. Cohen and J. Smith,
have been going about the country in
the vicinity of liltigefleld and Dan-
bui'y, ostensibly purchasing antique
furniture. Today, their collection of
furniture is in the bands of Deputy
Sheriff John W. Scuiley and whatever
negotiations they attempt toward its
recovery, will probably be done at long
distance. for fear of the Connecticut
authorities.
Last Saturday, the two men went to
the house of Mrs, Ann M. 0rd. a lady
eighty-live years of age. living in Dati-
btiry. and wanted to purchase some of
the antique furniture in her posses—
sion. fine was a veiy handsome ina-
hogany table with unveil (law feet and
of great value The other was a
smaller mahogany stand. which is al-
so very valuable. They asked Mrs.
0rd to sell the two pieces to them,
but she refused umI‘ would not part
with them under any account. Then
the two men asked her if they could
rent them to ship to New York and
have copies made of them. Mrs. 0rd
consented to this and the men took the
furniture. sending it to the Danbury
freight depot.
After they had gone. Mrs. 0rd began
to think that perhaps it was not quite
all straight. and she asked the Dan-
linry police to look into the affair. This
was done and it was found that the
goods wore billed to New York so that
everything appeared straight enough
as far as that was concerned,
The next morning, the discovery was
made that the furniture was gone, huv»
ing been taken away during the night.
This aroused suspicions of the police,
and it was learned that the two men
had taken it all away in a wagon. and
carted It to the Norwalk freight depot.
There it was billed to "J. Smith,” Bos-
ton, which showL-d that there was
something very peculiar about the
transaction.
Cohen and Smith had disappeared.
but the furniture was there. Today
Sheriff Sculley. armed with a writ of
replcvin. went to the freight house
and In behalf of Mrs. 0rd, attached all
the furniture. There were a dozen or
more articles of value thcie. being two
fine tables, it number of chairs, old
mirrors, warming pans. andirons,
etc... galore.

Rendered Unconscioul.
During the severe electrical storm
at Westport yesterday, the barn of
George B. Mills was struck and set
on fire. Mr. Mills was knocked down
unconscious, but afterward recovered.
Une cow was: tiiiined but not killed.
The barn which is situated at
,‘vreens Farms, was a ton] loss. The
contents, beside a number of tools.
included several tons of hay. which
was burned. There. were a number of
horses and cows in the barn at the
time, but these wui'c rescued. The
total loss was about $1,000.
LIGHTNING AND HAIL STONES.
Did Considerable Damage Yesterday
Afternoon in a Short Space of Time.
The severe electric storm which
struck The Norwalks about 5 o'clock,
yesterday afternoon, caused a great
deal of damage in different ways. The
storm comprised large hull stones.
some of which were as big as raspber-
ries, a strong wind, sharp vivid light-
niiig, and u downpour of rain, which is
seldom equalled. For a time, at the
height of the storm. the‘streets were
white with the bail stones which fell
and It had quite a wintry appearance.
Crops and foliage of all kinds were
damaged and in the country the fluids
of hay and grain were beaten down
fiat. causing a great loss to the farm-
ers. Trees having large leaves were
riddled by the hall and In several
places glass was broken by the stones.
'l‘elephones. telegrapbs and the like
were put out of business for the time
by lightning striking the wires.
The lights at Roton Point were out
of commission and also at the Norwalk
Yacht Club. it was between 9 and
l0 o'clock In the evening before they
could be lighted again. A number of
arc lights about South Norwalk were
put out of commission by the light-
ning and altogether, for such a brief
shower, it was a wicked one.
The cool weather and refreshing
breezes today are probably attribute.
ble to it.
Important Meeting Over Silk Mill Mat-
ter Held Yesterday Afternoon.
Quite an important meeting over
the proposed coming ot the Muller silk
mill to the fair grounds was held at
the office of the Norwalk Securities
Corporation, in Wall street. yesterday
afternoon.
The session hinged over a strip of
land to be given to the silk mill peo-
ple. The strip referred to is along the
1rIVer front, and Is owned by the Nor-
wnlk Mills Company. which some time
ago, purchased it to protect them-
selves. The Norwalk Mills people are
willing to dispose of the property. but
with the proviso that they may do as
at present with the dye stuff without
suits arising from damage that may
occur at any point along this strip.
The land is to be purchased by the
Norwalk business men and turned over
to Mr. Muller. it is understood that
the conference was quite satisfactory.
though the matter has not been delin—
itely decided yet.
Richard Muller, lils friend, Mr, Neu-
hoffyaodzliig hwyer, Attorney Board-
man. of Bridgeport, were on hand to
look after Mr. Muller’s Interests, and
