That he did not' 'cop" a small bundle of Leigh's money besides was not his fault. nor due to his carelessness eith- er; for the wealth, some $28 in bills, was nicely covered up and resting quite snugly Inside of an innocent looking shaving stick. The clever one, naturally supposing the stick of no consequence, tossed it unceremoniously one side on running across it in the big Saratoga trunk he had just broken open. But this as has been observed was a purely natur al mistake for rum to make and no blame should be attached to him for that. 's “at he was not, however, a “slouch" at his trade, was clearly evidenced in many ways. in the matter of the trunk alone. with time passing fleetly away. he showed what he could do under pres. sure; for, with a pair of clampers or nlppers. he pulled the big. strong lock so neatly from its fastenings that neith. er the lock nor the trunk was damaged in the least.

Looking—lb Another Industry Norwnilr Business Men's Association Sends abom- rnittoo to New York to See About lypowriior i‘oncorn The Norwalk Business Men's Asso- ciation has taken vigorously in hand a proposition to locate a. very large type writer concern in the city. Should ' the company come it is believed that this will mean the, bringing hero of one of the largest lndustries'fn this part of the country. The directors of the Business Men's Association held a conference Satur- rim and decided that the matter should be looked into. 80 favorably were they 'i.impre_ased. that a committee was ap- pointed ‘to go to-New York city, today. to confer with representatives of the! company. This committee consists 0 Harvey M. Kent, president of the Nor walk- Association. Selectman Samuel Lynes and Ex Mayor Arthur C. Wheel- er. These gentlemen will look thor oughly into the proposition and will report the rcsult of their trip immed- lately to the association. Just what concessions will be asked by the company, is not fully “Mn, but it is understood that the concern desires a good-sized piece of property. on which to locate its plant. There would probably be but very little trouble in raising a sufficient amount of money, to purchase the de sired site. The Association has at present one excellent piece of land. but it is not mmaidersd heat at just this time to dL vulge Its e‘xa‘ct locality. It can be said, however. that it is of considerable ex- tent and if utilised entirely. or almost so. would mean some very large bulld- mm. A gentleman representing the com- pany in finding for“ it a suitable lone- tlou, was in Norwalk last Wednesday. coferrin with prominent members of the Bu ens Men's Association, and he seemed favorably irgpreaaed. with the city; particularly wit reference to its shipping facilities which are excel- lent by‘ either rail or water. , _’ it is understood that the company manufacturers a stmdard typewriter. and also goes extensively into the manufacture of supplies, a in por- tion of the business, ' The company would undoubtedly em- ploy sovoral hundred hands and if the city acts the industry, as one director of the Association lnolegantly express- ad himself, "it will be a corkor." ‘ Much enthusiasm has been aroused in the Association by the proposition. Negotiating For Lana Industry. For Sulnru Edward M. Jackson. of Norwaiir. for liver ion Years with lrlnliy Church. Bridgeport. Wants $500 Duo film for Services in i902 Edward M. Jackson for over ten years organist of the Trinity Episcopal church. of Bridgeport, but now organist of Christ church, New Haven, has brought an attachment on the Trinity church for 81, 000. claiming 8700 dam~ ages. Mr. Jackson lives in Norwaik and brings the attachment through his attorney.E. M. Lockwood, of this place. The papers were served on Judge Rob crt DeForest of Bridgeport. who is sen- ior warden of the church, last Friday. and are returnable to the court of com- mon pleas in April. The attachment discloses a peculiar state of affairs. considering the fact that Trinity parish has always been supposed to be one of the most pros- perous of parishes in Bridgeport, the church having as its membersmany of llridgeport's elite, including several wealthy mob. The real cause of the attachment is to recover the sum of soul) due Mr. Jackson for one year's service as organist. He began his du- ties May 1 1902. and May 1 of the fol- lowing year made a demand for his salary. He didn't get it, nor has he got it. although making application for it several times. He was told that the church did not have the money, but that just as soon as was possible he would be paid. But he was not satis- fied. last year the music committee had a meeting and decided that they could not afford to pay so much for music and accordingly cut the appro- priation. Mr, Jackson was informed. but decided that he could not afford to play for less and accordingly loft. and is now playing in New Haven. His original salary at Trinity church was $600 per year and up to a few years ago he was always paid this. But mat- ters went from bad to worse with the above result. One reason for bringing tit e attachment is said to be the fact mat he thinks Judge Deli‘orent ha. hey belonging to the church which Could be used to pay the amount due him Judge DeForest said to the Bridge port Sunday Herald Saturday that this was not so, and laughed heartily at the idea of the church being attached. “i don‘t know as I blame Mr. Jack- son." he said. “but i don’t see what he in going to gain by it. The whole :ubstance is that the church has not. got the money to pay Mr, Jackson. we wish Wc could pay him, you know.‘ and he smiled. “churches are peculiar things, i mean ecclesiastical organizer lions, and many little things which a strictly business organization would attend strictly'to a church will pass over easily. Churches oftimes owe their pastor the sexton and others, but it isn because they don‘t want to pay—~rath it is because they can‘t And so it is in this case. As i said, we havent the money. and as for Mr. Jackson thinking i have money in trust for the church. it is all a de- lightful mistake on his part. Really l thing he acted unwiseiy." L. N. Booth is the pastor of the church and many of the blue bioods' of Bridgeport attend there. Judge Dol’orult scouted the idea that it was a wealthy pariah, saying that it was not True it had perhaps a half dozen man of means on its lists. but as for being a rich parish? Oh, dear no. And itiwoitld seem that it is not if it cannot hfford to pay the salary of its organiat‘a. Judge Del‘oreat as. d also that they had an organist at the pm out time who answered their purposes fully and who was willing to play for a great deal less. At the same than he oellont organist. only they could not afford to pay as much as he wished. He did not desire to say what the trus- tees of the church would do regarding the attachment—whether they would make an effort torsion the money and - effect a settlement. or let the matter take; its course. or nu- charactorm in locating the harm midi. m PHOTOSRAPHIC STUDIO. t aim in a. u.

A leak occurred in 'one of the tubes of- her boiler, which soon drained it of water. As a result the boiler became red hot which condition was discovered a few moments later by the engineer. Silas Paterson. who also ascertained that the wholeI vicinity was in a scorching condition. A line of boss 'was quickly laid to the hydrant on the dock and many gal- lons of city water was played' into the boat‘ a hold. before the danger was en- tirely allay.ed Had the predicament not been discovered until a few mo ments later, a v'ery different story would undoubtedly have had to be told. The steamer will be out. 0‘ commls slon until the boiler is repaired, which will be in a short time. The section of tubing which sprung a leak will be re placed with a new section. sent from the factory in Providence. R. i. it is said that the boiler is of a type which holds but very little water at a time and a small leak would soon exhaust it. it was a fortunate circumstance that the boat lay at the dock here when the leak was discovered, for bad she been out in open water at the time. it would have been no easy matter to get. a suf- ficient quantity of water into her hold without sinking her, as a steam pump would have been cut. of the question. with trouble occurring in the boiler.
