Miss Bennett, While ‘Playlnq Santa
Clause. Has Harrow Escape from
Serious injury.

 

 

Miss Bennett, sistdr' of Edwin C.
Bennett, of 18 Bayview avenue. had a
narrow escape from being burned to
death. yesterday. while engaged in a
Christmas celebration. She had dress-
ed in a special costume for the cocoa
ion. composed of very inflammable ma-
terial. in some way the dress became
ignited from a Christmas candle and in
a brief space of time she was envelop-
ed ln llamas.

Those who were present and a num-
ber of the neighbors tore the burnins
garments from her and extinguished
the blaze. She was not seriously burn-
ed. The damage to the house was
practically nothing, though the carpets
and a few of the articles of furniture
were slightly scorched.

 

A very narrow escape from a serious
tire was averted by the coolness and
presence of mind of Edward W. Kallv
Jr., at the Washington street store of
the Stillsond’oweil Corporation. The
trouble occurred late yesterday after-
noon. Mr. Kelly was lighting the gas
in the show windows and it is presum-
ed that a spark from the head of the
match ignited some of the cotton used
as a window decora . Mr. Kelly did
not see that the window was on fire
until his attention was called to it by
someone passing by in the street. Mr.
Kelley, without getting rattled atrali.
took a large bottle of ammonia and be-
gan sprinkling it on the are. in a very
few minutes the flames were all out.
The damage was slight. ‘

days' furlough in this city. \esterdas‘
morning early he had an adventure
which turned out to be a goodJoke on
him. He and a friend were sleepln
at the Mahackemo Hotel in room as.
Mr. Ahearn woke up in the night and
wanted a glass of water. He went
down stairs to get it and when he went
back. got in room 26. He could not
find his friend, very naturally. and in
the excitement of the moment thought
that he had skipped ‘with his clothing.
He started out in search of a policeman
and while the police were looking for
the innocent man who was believed to
be making tracks away from the city
with the soldiers' uniform blouse, he
was quietly sleeping in room 28. As
soon as the mistake was discovered a
hearty laugh ensued and apologies
were tendered. The police ceased
their search.

if the hall. while streamers of ground

:ooned about the balcony. and at other
points of vantage. Between the trees
vere placed shields composed of cross-
ed rides. campaign hats, haversack:
.and other implements of war, the of
"act being decidely novel and altogeth-
er interesting. in the center of thr

rmory floor was an enclosure neatly
ons.ructed of Christmas greens, while

tag of the company, and on the corneri
were the trophies received in athletit
competitions. etc. Attached to one oi
he silver cups was the sword preach.-
ed yesterday morning to Lieutenant

sleet J. Thornton Prowitt. by a num

ber of his staunch supporters in th

omoany. This miniature article at

rom 8:30 to 9 o'clock. while the
guests were assembling, and promptly
at 9 o'clock the hnglcr sounded the as-
embly and the first two-step was com-
menced. With the waits and square

.wenty numbers continued until abou

1 o'clock this morning. the only inter-
mission of consequence being the

o'clock, and everyone proceeded to the

There was an unusually large num-
oer of out-of-town guests in attendance
and the costumes of the ladies were at
an especially elaborate character. and

City of Norwallt lnstltu

 

in Small Change—One oi
the fielded Windows
forced Out by "hows

it takes a pretty mean person to
break into a public library, but some
one perpetrated this offence at the
City of Norwalk institution last night.
Happily. the miscreants secured but
very little remuneration for their ef-
forts, which. from the appearance of
the cash drawer and the window
through which they entered. were quite
sireuuous.

Miss Dotha Stone Pinneo. the city
librarian, stated this morning to a Sen-
tinel reporter that less than a dollar
was missing, the money taken being
merely pennies and nickels that are us-
ually left at the library over night for
use the neat dav as change.

Chief of Police Thomas Bradley
made an examination of the library,
after which he stated that in his opin
ion the robbery was that of boys.
though Miss Pluneo hopes that such
was not the case and that the guilty
parties were out of town men. The
chief said that the work had been done
by parties familiar with the library.

An entrance to the building was
gained through one of the windows in
the basement. at the south end of the
building. The glass was smashed out
and much of ,it lay in bits on the ground
floor. A peculiar part of the affair was
the fact that the thieves did not go
through a window easy of access. but
instead broke through one quite high
in the air and one to get at which
meant the assistance of a box, ladder
or of a second person. The window.
which is of the decorative variety and
similar to those frequently seen in
churches, with the exception that the
glasses are colorless, is quite a small
one and it is doubtful if a full grown
person could have cr'wied through
the aperture.

There were no doors 'to interfere
with the progress to the library floor.
but it was evident that progress ‘was
made through a basement door.

From the shavings on the floors
about the” cash drawer, it was are
ideal that an ordinary pocket knife
had been brought into service. An
other sharp instrument was used as
a pry. as the end of it was found stick-
ing in the drawer this morning by
Allen Aiken. the Janitor, who discov-
ered the robbery this morning while
performing his usual duties about
the building. . “

Under the cahh drawer also lay a
red ribbon. which no one about the
library knows anything about.

 

o‘clock, and‘consequently the thieves
operated after this time.

ARION SOCIETV'S CHRISTMAS.

Large Tree. WIth Gifts for the Child-
ren. a Feature. ’

A very merry gathering took place at
Arion Hall. last evening. the occasion
being the annual Christmas celebration
of the Arlen Singing Society. A large
tree which just touched the cellin of
the hall had been very hands ly
decorated for the occasion and when
the doors were opened, a handsome
sight greeted their eyes. All the child-
ren of members of the moiety were pre-
sent and to 'say that they had a fine
time but faintly describes it. The dis-
trlbutlon of gifts occupied the greater
part. of the evening as the big tree
was heavily laden. Music was indulg-
ad in during the evening and refresh-
ments were served.
