Daring Robbery—y
in West Avenue

Mrs, Mains Told the South Norwaik
Pollcc That Thief Took Recepta-
cle Containing Over 85.

 

A daring robbery took place last
evening in West avenue and the police
are now verv busy in investigating it.
There is only a small chance of appre-
hending the robber but it is barely
possible that it may be done.

A lady who gave her name to the
police as ”Mrs Mains" of Norwalk.
but which is believed to be an assum-
ed name reported to one of the force
last e1 ening that as she was passing
along West avenue with a chatelalno
bag swinging from her hand. I man
.ran up behind her
bag. He turned and ran oi! as hotel
he could. turning into West street. Silo
later saw him coming back on a. bicy.
cie. but at neither time did she get a
good enough gllmhke of him to give a
description which will give the police
any clue to his identitl. She. could

not tell whether he was young or old
white or colored and could not de-
scribe his clothing. The whole affair
took place so quickly and she was so
much frichtened and startled by it
that she did not recover her compoa
ure until he was out of sight. The
Chatelaine bar contained 36. 50. The
bag and the fifty cents were recovered.

The first of the series of high class
concerts. arranged by Mrs. Lillian-
i-‘ihorwood Newklrk. was given at Lock-
wood' a Hall last night. before an audi-
«are composed 1.1me of the best
known musical people of The Nor-
walks. The program rendered was the

following: ‘

"My Song is of the Sturdy North. "

“Love, Thy Help." from “SunIson and

PART ll.

"lo a Persian Garden," Song-cycle by
Lisa Lehman. consisting of solos
for the different voices. a duct, and
quartets.

A well known musician has written
the following criticism of the concert
for The Sentinel:

it would be most pleasant to chroni-
cle. this event ask decided musical
success: unfortunately, it cannot be so
regarded. Mrs. DeMoas. from whom
great things were expected. used her
naturally sweet and beautiful voice in
a strenuous and exaggerated manner
This was most noticeable in the trivial
waltzrsong which was her fist number:
in the concerted work in the second
part. and particularly in the duet "A
Book of Verses,“ her singing was art-
istic and enjoyable

Miss Stillweil's singing would have
been more pleasing in some less ambi‘
tloIIs selection than "Amour vlenc
alderi"—-suug in English translation.
by the wayo-her forte is evidently not
found in drunotic or in cantablle work.

Mr. Walker has lost none of his gun
ial charm of presence and expression
since he took his audience by storm

 

what is called a nasal note. really
caused by a closing of the nasal pos-
rages. which was evident at his second
appearance last man has unfortuna-
.itely become more marked and his
singing, as singing. is less enjoyable.

it was reserved for Mr. Johnson to
carry off the honors of the evening: he
received a double recall on his first ID-
pearance and the audience would cer-
tainly have been pleased by a repeti-
tion of his solo "Ah! Moon Of My Do;
light ” This young gentleman has a
robust tenor voice of great sweetness
and power. which he uses with excel-
lent method and with great case. His
diction is simply perfect—clear, with-
out exaggeration. He will be sure of a
warm welcome if he should again sp-
uear in Norwalk.

The accompanist. Miss Alice Walter
Hates. added greatly to the effort of
themuslc by her rendering of the diffi-
cult arcompanlmenta; if, at times. she
forgot the. power of the magnificent
Steinway piano. ‘and obscured the
round of the voice. this was stoned for
by her artistic performance of her part
in the "Manificot."

The audience was small—discourage.
ingly so in view of the responsibilb
tic- incurred by Mrs. Newklrk in her
endeavor to provide high-class musl-
cal entertainments.

The second concert. to occur Mon-
day. January :1]. ‘1904, will introduce
Mrs. Tlraah Hamlin Roland, contralto;
Glenn Hall. tenor, and Miss Cecelia
Schiller. pianist.

BRIDGEPORT. Dec. 1.——Tho quo
warranto proceedings brought by Mat-
thew Corbott. a citizen and tax-payer
of South Norwalk. to determine wheth~
er or not there is a town of South Nor-
walk came up in the Superior Court

before Judge i‘hayer today. Up to
noon. however very little apparent
progress had been made as most of the
time had been occupied by counsel in
consultation.

Judge Henry Stoddard. of New Ha-
van counsel for the so-calied “pretend-
ed town" of South Norwalk filed a de-
Inuuer which denies the validity of
the goVernor'a action in vetolng the
passage of the resolution by the Logis-
iature. setting oi! the Town of South
Nor-walk. This demurrer was the sub-
icct of the conference between the at-
torneys. and it was understood that
there was a possibility that they would
agree to have the demurrer overruled,
and that an appeal should be taken
from the ruling so as to bring the mat-
ter before the Supreme Court of Sr-
rors at the January session.

General Russell Frost and Judge Jos.
spit R. Taylor of South Norwaik. op-
pearsd as counsel for Mr. Corbett,
while Judge Stoddard represented mé
“pretended town." Elmore S Bonn.
of Bridgeport; Lewis Sperry, of Hart-
ford. and Levi Warner. of Norwalk
are counsel for the old Town of Nor-
w,ulk but up to noon they had not fig.
ured as of record in the cm. as the
Town of Norwalk had not been admit.
ted as a party to the proceedings. The
attorneys for Norwalk desired the town
to be admitted as a rolatdr in the case
with Mr. Corbett. The writ charges
the men who claim to have been elect-
ed officials of the Town of South Nor-
walk with using and exercising the
powers of officers of legally incorporat-
ed towns.
