“Tn Thefts l . lunltey..who was Arrest- ed lnStamford Yesterday. . _ f1! Darlen. Norton anti Glen- Dennis Tuohey, s Wescotts (Stam- ford) boy who has had a wild career for the past few years. was arrested late Tuesday afternoon by Deputy Sher if! William E, Bitch. of Greenwich. charged with breaking into Darlen. Noroton and Gleubrook stations Mon- day night. Tuohey was taken to the deputy sheriff‘s ofilce. and there con- fessed to the attempted robberies of the stations. and told of several other thefts that he had made. He seemed willing to tell Deputy Sheriff Bitch about a long string of robberies he has committed and said he could bring the officer to the place where stolen goods had been placed. Sheriff Bitch did not pay much' attention to all that the fei- low said. because he was plainly trying to take this means of a general con- fession to get off with a light sentence. How Tuohey Was Found. Deputy Sheriff Ritch is engaged by the New Haven railroad as a special detective, his territory being from Greenwich to Bridgeport. When it was found that three stations had been broken into, it was at once reported to Bitch and he set to work on the case. He found out all he could at the sta- tions which were entered. and then consulted with Constable Andrew Schlechtweg, of Stamford, whose sus- picions at once pointed to Tuohey. The two odioers went to the tramp camp near Selieck's cut. and saw Tuohey there. This confirmed the suspicious. Bitch got talking. with the fellow. in- quiring abouts couple of tramps he said he was looking for. Tuohey then become confidential and told the ofllcer he had slept the night before in an un- occupied house near Selleck' s cut. own ed by the railroad. Ritbh' went over to the house and found all about the yard' the tinfoil wrappers ‘which are used for chocolates in slot machines. » He also found a .m ocolates in the hou d and t“ Tuohey. lie brash} 52%? win and’.‘ af- ter gettin put him think" lock lip. .. Other Robberies Investigated. Stories that were told by Tuohey about other robberies are being inves- tigated. and. if they are found to be true. he may not get off as easy as he thinks by his confession. There has been a great deal of petty thieving go log on about Norwalk and Stamford recenti. Some of it has been report ed to he police. and more of it has not. There has not been a large am ount stolen in any one case. but taken as a whole it has been rather big. Tuohey is only twen y years chills has given the Stamford police a lot of trouble during the past few years. He is anything but a bright fellow, al- though he seems to have his wits about him when it comes to mischief. New Canaan Station Entered.

Gilbert widow of the railroad brakemeu who lost. his life Tuesday night, in Bridgeport visit ed the morgue in that city, last night. and claimed the body of her husband and arranged for the funeral to take place at Cuillnan A Mulllhs' undertak- ing rooms. Bridgeport atl: 30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Mrs. Gilbert was accompanied by several friends and a committee of railroad trainmen. The body of the dead brakeman will remain at the undertakers' rooms until the funeral. Mrs. Gilbert and her three children have been at their home. 82 State street all the time, and would have gone earlier to the undertakers' rooms to have arranged for the dis- posal of her husband’s body, but. by the advice _of the friends, who last night went with her. the visit was deferred until evening. as it was then a more convenient time for all. Mrs. Gilbert has lived in Bridge- port with her husband for the past four years, as stated in The Sentinel yesterday, and prior to that time they lived several years in South Norwslk. The children are all living in Bridge- port and were with their father on the night he was killed. only a short time before he left the house. There has been no dlfilculty what- ever in locating the widow of the de- ceased. She was located and inter- viewed within half an hour after the death of her husband was reported Tuesday night. The body was claimed almost as soon as it was prepared for view. Medical Examiner Downs view- ed the body and found death due to a fracture of the skull. it is believed among railroad men that Gilbert on leaving the Barnum avenue car on which he rode over to the East Side. was hit by some train while he was at- tempting to cross the,tracks. and in the darkness the accident was not no ticed by the train crew and remained unknown until his body was found some time after it had been hit by the train HATTER8 BILL OF PRICES. Stated in Philadelphia that it will Not be Generally Signed. The following paragraph from the “Daily Trade Record." of New York. regarding the hat situation in Phila- delphia will be read with interest by Norwal people: it is stated that the new bill of prices proposed by the Hat- ter's Union is not likely to be generally signed. As previously indicated thus far only Price It Gogt and the Tich- enor Hat Co. have signed the bill, though all are working. it is the com mon opinion that the bill of prices is so high as to be prohibitory. Manu- facturers cite as, result of the even new high union prices the recent as slgnmcnt of Arthur Roelofs (30.. stat- ing that the failure of the concern was in a large measure due to that reason. Whether thounlon will inaugurate a strike it the manufactureres refuse to sign the new bill of prices cannot yet be determined. BRIGADE STAFF FIELD DAY.

Norwali. and One Case of Diphtheria Reported to Health Officer Sheer—Irving to Prevent Spread of Disease South Norwalk is again in the clutches of an epidemic of scarlet fe- ver, and the health authorities are try- ing every means to stamp the conta- gion out before the schools open for the fall term. as it means a great dan- ger to the children if the epidemic still rages at that time The epidemic in Springwood seems, to have been gotten under control, and now the discus is invading the homes of the wealthier residents of the city. Health Odlcer H. C. Sharer stated this morning to a Sentinel reporter that there are new four cases of scarlet fever in the city limits, and one case of diphtheria. The diphtheria case is at 12 Bsyview avenue. The scarlet fever cases are at 16 West avenue. 18 Union street 129 Ely avenue and 18 High street. These cases see mto be a tri- fle more severe in their nature than those which happened in Springwood a short time ago. which adds to the dan- ger. Dr. Sharer said that there had been a number of very light cases which had malted from the Spring- wood cases, and the persons who had them had not been sick enough to call in a doctor. so they were not quaran- tined and proper care was not taken to prevent the spread of the disease. which has been increasing in virulence with every transmission. The present epidemic is spread all over the town, whereas the former one was confined to a certain section. The present one is more dangerous, and Dr Sherer warned all who have the symp- toms to call in a physician and have the case diagnosed. so that a further spread of the disease may be checked, and the schools opened with safety in the fail term, which will comdiesce uuito soon Dr. Sharer started away this morn- ing with Mrs, Short” and daughter to spend a week at Northtleld, Mass. in his absence Dr. Jean Dumartler will be the acting health odicer, and all cases of contagious disease which are discov- ered in the meantime should be re- ported to him as soon as possible, that the proper measures may be taken for the safety of the public.

The in Marshal Works last Night. and uh be Used tonight—(lid lla- chlnery Has Been fallen Out Last night. the old machinery at the municipal electric lighting station stopped for good and was taken out. The work of installing the new mach- inery was begun simultaneously and tonight the new motor and generator will supply the streets with light and the business places with power. The change will be one of the quickest ever made in this section of the state and all hands at the electric light station have been on duty continuously since 1 o'clock this morning, and they pro- bably will not getIsny sleep until the new machines are in operation. Superintendent A. ll. Winchester is a busy man today, hut‘has every con- fidence that the work can be accom- plished. 'l'he masons who built the foundations for the new machinery worked all night long on the job. The foundations were completed and the new Brush Multiclrcle arc generator was put in place. As soon as that was done the new meter was brougc. in and placed on the foundation. This is the largest electric motor in the city. it is made by the General Electric Company and developes ninety horse power. This combination will supply power enough to operate 180 hrc lights. The new engine which is to be install- ed is also on the road and is some where between here and Watertown. N. Y.. and a new generator is on the way from Fort Wayne. lnd.. which will furnish incandescent lights and power. A large addition has been made to the switchboard. i. It.

Superintendent Winchester has been making a number of tests and experiments with the Wood Arc Lamp which is soon to be instailtvl in the city streets. it gives a remarkably bright and steady light. and is a great deal easier on the eyes than the present lamps. it burns a different sort of carbon also, and me carbon will last 100 hours without be lug renewed, whereas the old ones burn out in a day Or so. A freak lamp, for which great things are prOphesied. has also arrived. it is known as the Cooper‘liewitt lamp. and is the first one ever sent outside the laboratory. it is the very latest thing in a light producer. With the force now used to give sixteen candle power light, the Cooperdlcwitt light gives 200 candle power. There is one pe- culiarity about it. however. that being that the light is a pale green in color as it passes through a rumor tube and through mercurial vapor. Some very interesting experiments will be made with this lamp. The work of installing the new ina- chiuery is considerable and the change if succesle will be a remarkable quick one. The Brush generator weighs about eight tons and the motor about six tons. The carting was done by Expressman Cavanagh. The new engine which is coming will weigh 1W tons. .._.....,_.. ._.___ TWO AND ONE-HALF MILES PIP! LNG.
