Fire Nerlg
Proved Fatal
David Rosen Seriously
Burned in a fire last Sat-
urday Night. in Grocery
Store in Raymond Street
—Clerk Schwartz also in-
jured
A fire. which came very near being
attended with fatal results, occurred
Saturday evening, shortly after 7
o'clock, in the grocery store conduct-
ed by Mrs. Rose Rescn, at 8 Raymond
street. A clerk, Mr. Schwartz, of New
York, wlro had been in Mrs. Rosen's
employ but a few days. entered the
room in the rear of the store, for the
purpose of getting some gasoline to fill
an order. in some manner the fluid
caught fire. and exploded, the recur in
an instant being a mass of flames.
David Roscn, husband of Mrs. Rose
Iloseu, who was in the store, went to
the clerk's assistance, and picked up
a can of oil. As he did so it burst into
flames and spread all over his face
and hands. He was ”terribly burned,
the clothing being torn from his arms
and upper portion of his body. before
the fire was extinguished. Mr. Schwartz
also had his frauds injured.
Meanwhile an alarm was turned in
from Box 4, at the corner of Raymond
and Day streets, and the fire depart—
ment responded quickly. The resi-
dents of Raymond street secured "the
jumper from the shed opposite Volk‘s
factory, and had a line of hose laid
from the nearest hydrant before the
arrival of the Putnam Hose sappy Wa-
gou. driven by Harry Hrundage. which
was quickly followed by the Old Well
Hook and Ladder truck. driven by
Harry Sheldon, with Edson Lewis at
the tiller. The operations of the fire-
men were directed by Chief Engineer
D. W. Harford, Captain Luther M.
Wright being in charge of Putnam
Hose Company, and First Assistant
Foreman Howard elut'f in charge of the
Old Well. When Mr, Zeluff entered the
building. he found two coats blazing
in a lively manner on top of a big oil
can. and these he threw out of the
back door, which had been forced open,
Hut very lit tritmw water was used on
the fire. the en‘ confining thew
selves to the extinguishers, and per-
forming excellent work. The firemen
and others did exceptional Work in
saving the building. while the tire po-
lice kept the crowd of several hundred
people outside of the danger limit.
it took an hour's hard Work to sub-
due the flames. The woodwork in the
store was Considerably damaged, and
some. of the stock in the rear portion
of the building was entirely consumed.
and all of it more or less damaged by
smoke. Two large rubber plants in
the front window. for which a consid—
erable sum had been offered a few
days before, were killed.
The apartments over the store.
which were occupied by the Rosana.
also suffered from smoke. During the
excitement Mrs. lioscn went ilrto hys—
terics and fainted several times. She
was assisted to the house adjoining.
No. 10 Raymond street, occupied by
Hanorah Lynch, where she remained
until the fire was over. She had not
recovered yesterday. and her condition
is quite serious. Mr. Rosen and Clerk
Schwartl had meanwile gone to seek
medical attention at the office of Dr.
Francis 1. Burnell. The physician
found that all the skin had been taken
from Mr. Rosen's face. his eyebrows
hair and moustache were gone; back
of the neck, and chest severely burned;
flesh entirely removed from his right
hand, and the other hand very severely
burned. Schwartl had his left hand
very severely burned. and had some
injuries on his right hand. While Mr.
Rosen's injuries are of the most ser-
ious nature. he is expected to recover
in time. .
» Later Dr. Burnell's driver, Starr
Keefer, took Mr. Rosen to the Lynch
place, where Mrs. Rosen entered the
carriage. and they were driven to B.
Hershfleld's, in Wood street. Mrs.
Hersbficld being the mother of Mrs.
Rosco. They are still there. and will
probably remain untii"=Mr. Rosen im-
proves considerably.
Joseph Underhlll. of’Wlnnlpsnk. who
is a clerk in thostore conducted by
Mrs. Rosen, 22 Woodwind avenue. was
sent to the Raymond street store to
look after matters. but he was later
relieved by Clerk" Rarford detailing
William Ponder, of the fire police. to
watch the store during the night. Mr.
Ponder stated yesterday morning that
flames broke out titles during the
night, but that as had extinguished
them without assistance. Jacob Utnln-

The cause of the death of Charles .31.

in doubt. and as a result there will be

and came to no definite conclusion. An
examination of the vital organs of the
body gave no evidence whatever of or-
ganic heart trouble and there was noth-
ing to show that he died from a shock
of electricity. Much importance now
attaches to the wire support of the el-

nothing positive had resulted. He
thought that if heart trouble bad caus-

A very severe electrical storm.
which. at its beginning. threatened to
rival the tornado-like storm of a con-
ple of weeks ago. when so much dam-
age was done. struck The Norwalkl.
Saturday after-norm. shortly before 5
o'clock. and was more severe in Nor-
walk than in other parts of the town.
liulis of lightning <t.ruck in various
places. brrt no one was injured fatally.
though several of the men employed on
the Richard Muller silk mill buildings,
on the fair grounds property, were
shocked and stunned.
Many of the men gathered in the
tool house and office when the storm
broke, Suddenly there was a loud
crash and men were thrown hither and
thither by the powerful electrical
force. Several of the inmates of the
little building were ltallan laborers.
and they were terribly frightened by
the experience. and bolted out of the
doors and across the lots in the face of
the torrent of rain wlrlch was falling.
The bricklaycrs. carpenters and other
Americans present were also badly
frightened. but did not venture out in-
to the rain.
The most severely injured was an
ltnlian workman who was considera—
bly shocked. One of his legs was pain-
fully lnjurod. but he hobbled out into
the rain. and lost no time in getting
to his home in Chapel street. The
injured limb was in such a condition
yesterday that the man was unable to
use it.

ing the construction of the buildings

and wrecked It. fleorge Broiherton.
one of the brlcklayers. and James
Walsh. one of tho carpenters, were
among those who were shocked.
Just where the bolt entered. a careful
examination failed to disclose. and it
is now believed that the fluid made an
entrance over the telephone wire into
the office.
The steamer Hampton came up the
harbor while the storm was breaking
an the torrent of rain came down
while she was docking.
The storm was so long in coming
that the crowd at the ball game. on the
Decker Field had considerable time in
which to escape a drenching. Many
availed themselves of the privilege.
but quite a large number did not. and
among them were many women who
were so interested in the that
they did not let. a little thing like a
thunder storm interfere with their on-
thusiasm over the outcome of the con-
test.
As early as the third inning warning
rumblings were heard from the north-
ward. and the clouds began to gather
thick and fast. The contest continued
until the Waning 0f the eighth inu-
‘ng. when It became so dark that lim-

Having a Battle Royal are
Rounded Up by Chief Voll-
mer and a Sound of Police
Five veteran panhandle-rs, who have
been working Bridgeport during (lid
Home week, struck South Norwnlk.
yesterday morning. on their way to
New York. They will probably go
back to Bridgeport today. though they
will not have to walk and will probably
be escorted there.
When they arrived in South Norwalk
they went out in the street and com-
menced their pandhandllng games.
One had a band which is very badly
crippled (during his lurslnesa hours),
but which is as good as ever after the
aims of the day have been collected.
He works the old card game, which
consists of showing the "mark,” a
card on which is printed a harrowing
story of a Wife and several small chilv
dren depending upon him for support.
when there came an unlucky injury in
the factory and his happy borne was
broken up. He is now looking for a
job. and they are starving at home.
Another of this choice bunch carried
a l‘llllt“llllii walked with a most beari-
rerrding limp urrtll after his day's work
was done. Then he would brace up
and strut off as smart as anyone.
The other members of the, party
seem to be just plain beggars or
tramps. but they certainly formed a
disreputable bunch when they gather-
ed together in Springwood.
There is a fraternal feeling among
knights of the. road which leads them
to share. their gains in a truly millen—
iai manner. The result was that after
panhandling for a time this morning
they went to the rendezvous and con-
tributed to the general fund. With
the proceeds they bought a quart of
wood alcohol, and all the arrangements
had been made for a social function of
a hilarious nature.
Tramps of this variety live only to
see how little work they can do. and
how many times they can get drunk.
Wood alcohol is highly esteemed by
them, because of, its quick effect in pro-
ducing intoxication. A tin can was
procured and a part of the alcohol was
poured into it and diluted (very
slightly) with water. Then the fes—
tivities began. Tire drink got in its
effects and they began wrestling and
fighting belwucn themselves. The po-
lice lcarned of the revel which was
going on and Chief of'I’olice Yollmer.
Officer Walter Hall. Specials Smith
and Tooihlll raided the party.
The chain twister's were applied to
their arms and the bunch was conduct-
.-d to the lockup. Where they were in-
carcerated. James Wilson. the one
with the convenient limp,, was very
drunk. and inclined to fight. lie. did
not have a very good opportunity to
do so, however.
'l‘lrchrcn gave. their names as Char—
les Smith, Edwin Roote, John Silver.
George Sullivan and James Wilson.
Sullivan bad a fine specimen of a
black eye sustained in the function.
and his shirt was covered with blood.
One of the others had a bloody nose,
and several of them looked as if they
had been rolled in mud. The majority
of them were young, not yet thirty
years of age. The diversion of which
they Were interrupted by the police is
a favorite one of that class of tramps
known as “pandhandllng.” ‘(bcggars
of money) who are distinctly different
from the ordinary " hobo, " as it is call-
ed in the argot who is a wayfnrcr who
begs only for food. Of the two
classes. the hobo is the least objec-
tionable. and less daring and versatile
than the panhandler. They usually
flock together. At the "panhandler"
camps. growler parties are the rule.
whereas the genuine ‘ hobo" pools the
food begged during the day, and has a
camp fire and feast at the end of the
day's work. When he. really needs
money he will work a little for it. The
panhandler however, is above work.
He usually steals when he cannot beg.
All five are charged with drunkenness
and vagrnncy. and will be tried in the
town court this morning.
ARRESTS BY NORWALK POLICE.
The Norwnlk police picked up four
young men on the charge of drunken-
ness Saturday. Owing to the fact that
court will not convene today they were
released on cash bonds of $10 each
yesterday for their appearance at 9
o'clock tomorrow morning.
John McMahon was arrested Sat-
urday afternoon at the corner of Smith
and Wall street by Captain Morehonse.
Edward Murphy and Thomas Donnelly
were picked up in Brook street by
Sergeant Bartram and Officer Silk and
James "Wicked" Murphy was unable
to navigate in Main'street Saturday
night and was taken in charge by

There is considerable speculation in
South Norwalk. just at present. as to
What has become of John Dale. He
arrived in the city two weeks ago, stat-
ing that his home was in Lowell. Mass-
achusetts. l-le secured a position in
the press room at the O. N. McKibblu
Manufacturing Company's plant. and
worked there for a Week. He then
drew a portion of his pay, and disap-
peared. and if the earth had opened
and swallowed him up his Where-
abouis could not be more of a mys-
tery to the friends he had made here.
He made himself popular with l-‘ore-
man Thomas J. Barnes, and when the
men read exclusively in The Evening
Sentinel, last Thursday, of the finding
of a man dead alongside the truck in
Noroton, it was thought possibly it
might be. Dale. What made the people
here believe it was Dale was that per—
sonally the dead man closely resembled
him. even to the some kind bf wear-
ing apparel ire bad on when last seen
in South Norwalk. Dale had also stat-
ed that he had been a drug clerk. al-
though lt was not known that he ever
worked in Bridgeport. as the dead
man was supposed to have done. Pho—
tographer George S, North, of South
Norwalk. was called to Undertaker
James Birchard‘s rooms in Darlen. and
took several photographs of the de—
ceased. These wer'e shown 'to Mr.
Barnes. and while he stated that the
resemblance was strong, he did not be—
lieve the dead man was Dale. This
proved true. as Saturday afternoon
doubt was removed when the father
and wife of the railroad victim identi-
fied him as being Edward l“. Cfowley.
of Mcriden. The remains were sent to
that place. Saturday afternoon.
What makes Dale‘s disappearance
even more suspicious is the fact that
he drew only about one-half of the
. money that was due him on the night
he disappeared It was expected that
he Would return anytime and claim
the balance. but at this writing he
has not done so
CHIEF BRADLEV’S RETURNl

Mr. Bennett to Show Representatives
of New Lithogrnpblng Co. the
Beauties of the Town.
Prospects are bright for the locat-
ing of the. large lithographic concern
within the borders of South Norwaik.
The sale of lots is going on merrily
and M. R, Bennett, the promoter of the
=chcme. feels that things are going on
as well as can possibly be expected.
On Tuesday, the president and sec-
retary of the concern will come from
New York to this city and look over

considerable work will be done on that
occasion. Business men are enthusi~
astic in regard to the prospects of the
concern coming here. and are doing all
that. they can to aid in the sale of the
lots for this purpose.
Several who were asked about the
prospects were cheerful yesterday.
and responded that it would not be the
fault of the South Norwalk people if
the concern did not come here. Mr.
M. R. Bennett in regard to the address
made before the Merchants' and Man-
ufacturers' Association. Friday night.
says that there was a misapprehen-
sion of his remarks regarding news-
hapermen. He believes that the Sen-
tinel reporter confounded the remarks
and took as n criticism of newspaper
men in- general what was really ill-
tended as a criticism of the newbolip-
ping bureaus, which are totally dis-
tinct from the papers. He said that
there is a class of people in New York
who live off the wits of others, mean-
ing, the new: clipping bureaus, not
the, newspapers.
If Mr. Bennett, was mlsnuoted, The
Sentinel cheerfully takes this opportu-
nity of setting him right before the
public. Everyone realises what Mr.
Bennett is doing for The Norwalks
and wishes him the greatest success in
bringing industries to the town.

One of the Snappiest l
and Glosest Games of the
Season Played on Decker
field. Saturday Afternoon. '
When the R ii Gs were
Beaten . .
The first of the series of games be-
tWeun the li 6‘s and the Stamfords.
played on the Decker Field. Saturday
afternoon. was one of the snappiost
contests witnessed on that diamond
this season.
The irrepressible Jimmie Gibliu. cap.
tain of the Stamford aggregation. was
not the least visible star in this line. t
Hardly before nggtns tossed the ball '
up to the first Stamford batter. Jimmie
was out on the diamond with the pro-
test that be was stopping rrp toward
the plate when he delivered the ball.
Umpire Walsh was obliged to exercise
his authority several times during the
game. ‘
the contest was a close and exciting
one. and Stamford Won in seven inn-
ings. applying a coat of whitewash
to the boys with R i G across their
shirt fronts. the score being two to
nothing. Umpire Thomas F. Walsh
called the game on account of dark-
ness at the beginning of the eighth
inning. The ball could hardly be seen
and it was beginning to sprinkle. The
storm had been coming up for several
innings. and at the close of the fifth
inning, with Stamford to the good with _
two runs, the latter were hoping for ‘
rain. ‘
