Misses liugites.’ of
Darlen. Entertained Many
Guests at Miss flackley's
Studio. lit Rowaylen. last
Saturday Afternoon
A delightful entertainment for the
benefit of the Rowayton Public Library
was given Saturday afternoon at Miss
Mary l“. Hacklcy‘s studio In Rowayton
It consisted of tile performance of
"Alice in Wonderland." with the aid
of marioncttes by the Misses Elinor.
Marion and Amy Hughes. three talent-
ed young ladies of Darien. The en-
tertainment was unique in every fea-
ture and all who were privileged to see
it. enjoyed every moment.
The production will be given next
Saturday at 2:30 in the Red Room at
licltiionico‘s. New York City. before
the National Society of New England
Women. which celebrates '.‘organ|r.aiion
day" on that occasion. Mrs. Samuel
Richards Wood, of Midhrook. Rowny-
ion. has been instrumental in securing
tliis treat for the society.
The entertainment, Saturday. coin-
incneed at 3 o'clock in Miss Hacklcy's
studio from which the daylight had
been excluded. it being lighted by arti-
ficial means. At one end of the room
was a miniature theatre arranged wltli
a drop curtain and scenery. Those
who recall the traveling Punch and
Judy show of pleasant childhood mctn~
mil-n. will have an idea of the proscen-
min.
A shrill whistle was board. and the
little curtain rosc. revealing the stage.
A cute little figure appeared and iii a
illmunllivc. voice harangued tlic flllll-
lcnce. giving a sort of prologue. as it
were. With a very polite how to his
audience he disappeared and the play
began. It was lndescrihably funny
throughout. No one who has ever
read ,“Allce in Wonderland" can appre-
ciate the book as well as those who
have actually seen the “mock turtle"
fairly wallowing in grief at the front of
the stage or the entrancing grin of thc
Cheshire cat or the. look of meekness on
the face of thc dormousc. as he plain-
tively tells about the treacle well.
coiiid gain any further knowledge of
the, book. but to see these things. coni-
plete even to the tearmrolllng down
the cheeks of the melancholl’ "mock
turtle" makes the juvenile classic
nearer and dearer to its rcadsfl.
Words fail to describe the sterlincss
of the queen as she ordered "off with
their hciids—off-ofl." or the truly
Jiidiclous air of the March Hare as he
read thc charge against the Knavc of
Hearts, who stole the tarts. made by
the Queen of Hearts. or the pathetic
appearance bf “The Hatter." its llt‘ rim
fit-routes as Second Class Matter.

Philip dchauh and Arthur Farris Fig-
urad in Coasting Accidents Lllt
Saturday Night.
The most serious accident in con-
nccliou with the (routing on the Clay i
street hill. occurred last Saturday y
night, when two of the boys engaged in ‘
sliding were injured. one of them quite
badly. Among the parties on the bill
was a large double ripper. in charge of
a party of boys from the City of Nor-
walk. This rip was being taken tip
the hill. and as is usual with most of
these big affairs was taking up the en-
tire roadway. Philip Schaub. son of
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Schaub. of Railroad
avenue, was coming down the hill on
a single sicd. He noticed the rip
when near the corner of Clay and
Franklin streets. and made an effort to
get out of the way. He was unable.
to do so. however, and had barely time
to raise his head, when he crashed into
the rip. one. of the sleds striking him a
sctci'c blow in the chest. Young
Schaiib was knocked nearly senseless.
and A. A. Alteiibrandt, who was on his
way home. went to the lad's assistance.
and with several other boys tried to
bring him to himself. Schaub was
unable to occupy a seat on his sled so
that the other boys could take him to a
physician's house. and finally four of
his companions carried him to the of
fire of Dr. Dumoriier. Here he was
given temporary attention. and later
was taken by the physician to the
Schaiib residence. Here. it was found
that no bones were broken. the. boy's
Injuries appearing to be internal and
tlllllt‘ painful.
Had His Foot Bruised.
The other victim was Arthur Ferris.
.ir.. son of Jeweler anti Mrs. Arthur S.
l-‘errls. of (‘lav street. lie was struck
on the fool and leg by a double ripper.
and for a time was unable to walk. He
finally reached home. aml yesterday
found that his lcft foot was so badly
swrilicn that ll" could not put his shoe
on.
Cached Head While Silding.
Paul O'Brien. the young son of Jos-
cph l.. O'llrlcti, of l-‘airficld avenue.
gushed hit. head quitc badly Friday ev-
ening last. while sliding down hill. Dr.
William .I. Tracey was called to dress
the wound, which was a painful one.
SOUTH NORWALK CLUB POOL.
A Fine Come Between Luther M.
Wright and H. E. Ferris.
The last game in the first round of
the South Nor-walk t‘luh pool toiima~
menl was played Saturday night III"
tween Luther M. Wright and II. II}.
VGI‘I'lH. each rated at NO. it was the
most interesting and most closely con-
tested game of the tournament and was
watched very intensely by many of the
members. Twice the game was tied.
and when each player had scored
eighty-five at the close of the twelfth
iiinliig it seemed to be anybody's game.
At the. close of the thirteenth inning
Wright had gained a lead of two. In

Saturday or Sunday
Two more burglaries occurred in
South Nor-walk liitwwn Saturday night
and Sunday morning. The foundry of
liclloy Wheeler It Brothers. in Water
street. was watered and an attempt was
made to crack the safe. ’i‘lm store of
it). J. Gallagher. in.Washington street.
was also entered, but nothing was tak-
en.
The discovery was made yesterday
morning that thc Wheeler foundry had
been broken into. The burglars hud
pried up a side window. and thus cri-
tcreil the main building. From there
it was it comparatively easy matter for
lhi-in to whittle a hole through the
panel of the office ditor. draw the boil
and uiihook the other fastenings. 'l‘hcy
cvidcntiy made an attempt to get the
safe open, as the combination thultl
not work when tried. and showed ovi-
dences of having been tampered with.
A search of the place revealed the.
fact that some of the tools were miss-
ing. The missing ones were found to
be one set of pipe dies and thread cut-
ters. and a small sets of taps and dies.
valued at about Still. and a niachlttiat's
small level. valued at #3.
At Gallagher's store It side window
was found broken and the cash reg-
ister was opened. There was no mon-
ey in it. however, and as far as could
ln- lcarned. .nothing at all was taken.
The entrance must have been effected
from the stone steps which lead up to
tile railroad tracks. The lunch wagon
was open until quite late, and there
were men ’in the signal tower all night
long.
The police incline to the belief that
lite burglars were scared away before
they had time to search the store.
They do not state whether they be-
lieve the work to have been done by
the some men who entered Mrs. Still-
son‘s house on Friday night.

WATERBURY. ’.l ti. 18.-—A total
loss estimated at 81 .000 was caused
by a fire which partly destroyed a row
of old wooden bu dings on Bank
street, at Exchange. lace. The dam-
age is fully coverotlby insurance. If
is believed the fire was of incendiary
origin.
All the buildings are owned by Sa-
rah Nettleto'n. of Orange, Conn. and
are a part of the old Samuel Atwatcr
estate. oi which Judge Cowtfll, of this
city. is agent. M. .l. McEvoy. who had
a saloon in the two story wooden
structure at the corner of Harrison Al-
icy and Exchange Place. Is the heav-
iest toner. He had both floors of the
building expensivoly fitted up. the
street floor being occupied by the. sa-
loon while there was a sitting room
on the second floor. This building
was burned. only the skeleton of the
walls remaining. Hli‘o's cigar store
and Katz‘s barber shop were. In the
next building, the former on the first
floor. with the barber shop above. A
loss of about 8500 was sustained at
each of these places. [The Lenox lunch
room. which was in a small building
next to the cigar store. was burned
out with a loss of about ".000. The
\‘l'aturbiiry Transfer t‘ompnny had an
office in a one-story structure next to
the lunch room. but this building es-
cltpetl without damage. the hrs leap-
ing above it to the roof of the Ex-
change Hotcl. which is located on the
upper floors of a building in which the
cafe of J. W. Hudson occupied the
street floor. The roof was burned and
the whole building flooded with water.
causing damage of about $1,000 in the
hotel. The damage at Hodson's cafe
has not been estimated, but the deco-
rations. which were expensive. were
ruined.
It was thought at first that the blue
started in the Kat: barber shop. but
subsequent investigation indicated
that it started in a hallway leading
from the barber shop to the offices of
the Exchange Hotel. and that it was
the work of a flrchug.
W
BAPTIST CHURCH SERVICES.
Many Yesterday Esprolud a Desire to
Load I Different Life.
Yesterday will long be remembered
at the South Norwalk Baptist Church
as it day full of deep interest and spir-
itual awakening. Large congregations
filled the cdiflce‘ both morning and er-
cning to listen to the Rev. Mr. Divine.
\tllO preached two vcry powerful anti
touching sermons. Miss Illllcr's sweet
'Illtl pathetic singing. together with Mr.
Divine‘s earnest words could not help
but uplift humanityiwith'the desire to
lead it higher'and’nobler life. At the
Sunday school session. which was
largely attended. it being a "Decision
Day" for the school. several were led to
accept Christ as their personal sav-
iour. At the after meeting In the cv-
cnlng. a large number remaining. onc
voting man took a brave stand for
Christ. Mr. Divine will stay through
the coming week and preach every
night but Friday. and Miss Miller will
be preamt to sing. the meetings begin-
niniz promptly “7:45 o'clock. All are
earnestly invited to attend and bring
an unsaved friend.

William Carpenter. in

See Margaret Nevilles.

Visitors on Sunday
William Carpenter, of Stamford. who
is charged with having urderouaky as-
saulted his sweetheart, iss Margaret
Nevilles. at South NorwaJk, was taken
to Bridgeport Saturday afternom and
is now iii the custody of Sheriff Haw.
icy at the county jail. When first
brought to the Jail he ravod in his cell
and tore his hair, acting like a mad—
man. He was informed that he had
better keep quiet. and the admonition
cooled his fever of mental agony.
Yesterday he was alone in his cell
and throughout the day not a penton
called to visit him. Not even his moth-
er made her appearance. During the
day he was much calmer than he has
been at any time since the horrible
crime was committed.
Although it. is said that he has been
a victim of drugs. his ravings have not
been for anything of that nature. He
has not even asked for morphine. He
has called for the girl that he shot.
and his mind. clouded as it is. never
turns to anything else without reven-
lng to her very qtllt‘kb‘.
Carpenter is twenty years of age.
and although his appearance is not
that of a person further advanced in
years, yet he has not the fresh look
that. characterizes many youths of his
age.
it Is probable that his defense will
he insanity. Should Miss Nevilies die
he will have to face the charge of
murder. but if she. survives, the charge
will remain as it is. assault with in-
tent to murder.
The condition of Miss Nevilles. who
Is at the Norwalk Hospital. remains
aboifl the same. her vitality fluctua-
ting somewhat. from time to time.
The bullet still remains in or near her
left lung, and the doctors have not yet
been able to lei-ate it. As soon as p0s~
sible an attempt will be made to lo-
cate It with an X-ray machine. It is
believed that if the bullet can be re-
moved she will begin to improve more
rapidly.

SOME SIEWALKI DANGEROUS.
The sidewalks in many places about
town were in a highly dangerous condi-
tion Saturday and yesterday. Every
walk which had not been cleared of
snow but a coating of two or three
inches of too. it was almost impossible
to clear away the ice. and the only
remedy left was to put ashes on the
walk. Even this relief was not given
gvery generally. The use of ashes
makes a dirty walk, but it is at least
safe. , In South Norwalk, yesterday.
the street department sanded the
walks, and prevented many serious ac»
cideuts. Steps should be taken to com-
pel property owners who have not yet
done so. to clear their walks.
