A Find Made by Mr. Bennett Yesterday
Shows That Buildings Were Ocou-
pied Sometimes by Thieves.

 

 

The tearing down of the buildings of
the old fair grounds property is bring-
ing to light some interesting things
and shows that in time past some of
the buildings have been the rendesvous
of thieves and tramps.

Although M. R. Bennett only started
the work yesterday. he made a discov-
ery that demonstrated beyond doubt
that post~ollice thieves had made the
big stable building to the right of the
entrance gate is stopping place after
one of their marauding expeditious.

Mr. Bennett was assisting the men.
and as he knocked off one board. to
his astonishment. a big bunch of post-
age stamps were brought to view. From
their appearance they had been than

r.
Bennett thought at first that he had

'siruck it rich " but upon closer inspec-
tion he found that they were‘valuelens
for commercial'pnrposcs. for each one
said “Postage Due 5 Cents.“ When
the thieves took them from'some posts
office they were probably stolen with
good stamps and while sorting OVPf'
their haul at the stable. building came
across the worthless due stamps and
thrust them into a convenient hole.
where they would not be readily found,
Many other interesting relics of a
somewhat similar character will in all
probability be found before the build
tugs are all down. Bottles. which
have contained cheap whiskey in their
day are being found in large numbers,
and Mr. Bennett anticipates that he
will soon have a bushel basket full of
them in a very short time. I

The s‘able building contains much
valuable lumber. which Mr. Bennett
believes that can be turned to good
use in the holding of the houses which
he expects to erect.

Mr. Benue‘t put a larger gang of
men to work tearing down the build-
ings today. audit is believed that the
geek can be accomplished in short or-

er.

The contract for the Muller silk
mill chimney has been let separately
from the mill buildings. Representa-
tives of the chimney company were at
the grounds yesterday afternoon pro
paring to start the work which will be
begun as soon as possible.

Bushes about the grounds are being
cut down in order that the surveying
about the site of the mill‘ buildings
may be easily done. The new streets
on the property will be worked as soon
as the contracts can be given out.

Quite a number of people go to the
grounds to take a last ride around the
track. All sorts of vehicles have been
traversing it. including automobiles.
carriages and bicycles. Surveyor‘s
stakes have been placed in various
parts of the track and consequently
considerable dodging has to be done.

Several thoroughfares——

Objection to livery Bill of
itso __

The Norwalk City Council held a
busy session last night. The protests
of the residents of Stuart avenue and
Stevens street have at last had their
effect and the meeting voted 'to place
these thoroughfares in first-class eon-
ditlon. Rules governing the fire de
partment were adopted and there were
other important matters acted on The
action of Chief J. Thornton Prowttt in
hiring a carriage of the city's expense
to go to the department practice caus-
cd quite a discussion. Captain of P0-
lice Morehouse asked for an increase
in salary from 82. 25 per day to I2. 50
but the council did not take any action
on the request.

All of the councilman were in their
chairs when Mayor Glover called the
meeting to order. These bills of the
several city departments were order

A petition was received from the res-
idents of the Step Rock Road. asking
for sewer. a light and a change of name
of the street. and there was a delega-

suggested.

Harry Payne Makes a Statement Rs-
garding Legislative Acts.

Mr. Editor it might not be out of
place for a word about the class of
crimes, one of which Edward Monroe
stands charged. Crimes of this nature
had become so frequent that the state
had to wake up and through thc'Gen-
eral Assembly enacted laws calculated
to be strong enough in penalty to act
as a preventative and they have in part
had the desired effect. Still the laws
are disregarded too Often. Let us look
at the laws in these matters. Notice
substitute for house bill No. 68. Chap-
ter 28. section 1. chapter XL of the
public acts of 1593. amending 1540 of
the general statutes, which reads an
follows: “Every person who shall wan-
tonly and index-eutly expose his person
shall be fined not more than one hun-
dred dollars, or imprisoned not more
than six months, or both." Approved
March 28, 1895. Notice house bill No.
130, chapter 59: “Every person who
shall commit an indecent assault upon
another person shall be imprisoned not
more than ten years." Approved May
it, 1901,

When a crime has been committed
the person charged. arrested and
brought to public notice, it is the duty
of every citizen and an especial duty
of parents to use every possible means
to have the criminal panisbcd.'1he
person, body, any thing in human shape
that would deliberately misuse a child
is a past to the public. and pol-ates
the air he breathes. No child is safe
while this class of beings have their
liberty. HARRY PAYNE.

For the past few weeks the com-

lt is well-known that many of the
terms of enlistment of the men expire
lust before the time for the annual
encampment comes which leaves the
ranks in rather a depleted state. Thus
to get around this and make as good
a showing as possible all the officers
have been stirred to extra efforts Pos-

he did,” by pushing down what is
known'u“'the angle." This sets the
brakes very quickly all over the train.

were equipped with air brakes the oth-
ers ran up on them and nearly bele-
scoped several of them. Had the train
been going a little faster there would

until Ollicer Hall arrived and put them
under arrest.

' Their cases will come up before
Judge Taylor tomorrow morning.
