Eastern Underwear and
Artistic bronze Companies
Adding to Equipment and
Empiuyes —— Agreements
for lane (in. lots Signed

The new Industrial concerns which
have located in South Norwalk, and
are planning to locate in South Nor-
walk. are progressing nicely, and their
business is increasing rapidly. This
morning it was announced that the
Eastern Underwear Company, which is
located In the Taylor block. Water
street. and which was only started a
few months ago by local capital. has
had a remarkably good business al-
ready. Eighteen new machines have
been installed 'In the plant. and opera-
tives will be secured for them and put
to wdrk Monday. The concern ls‘
having hard- work to keep up with its
orders, and the advent of the new
machines will be a great relief to them.
It is probable that other new machines
willbe installed there in a short time.

The stockholders of the cornpnny are
William S. Sturtevant, George E. Sar-
tain and Attorney John Keogh, while
the superintendent is Mr, linviland.
who has had considerable experience
in this line of work. The front part
of the floor occupied by the company
contains the machines and is known
as the making room. The battery of
machines are of he most pproved pat
tern, made bydllMWkr a Wilson
and Singer Companies.

The machines are wonderful in them-
selves. One of the first ones makes a
button hole perfectly all the way round,
and the modern art has advanced to
such an extent that the machinemade
button hole not only Its better in ap-
pearance than the'hand made one. but
is more durable. Another machine sews
on the buttons. This is done in a twink-
ling. and when it is completed. one
would think that it. had been done with
the greatest care by hand. Further
more the machine ties the thread in-
gather under the ( loth so that there is
no fear of‘ It coming louse. A third
machine is a special one made for hem-
ming, while the others are regular
ones. used in putt as the cloth ether

Artistic Bronze, Company. .

Tho Artistic Bronte Company. lo—
cated lately in the Duncan factory, in
Union street is doing a thriving busi-
ness, and is already turning out goods
in excess of what it was believed they
would be able to so soon. A large
number of local men have been em-

' ploy ed there. and a great deal of mach-
tour: has been instilled in the plant
lately. The concern is showing every
evidence of a pros ly which will be
continued. and the judgment of the
Merchants‘ and Manufactures' Associa
tion is being vindicated ill boltinmis-
takablo manner by the progress which
this concern has made since locating
here.

ested in our wild birds was shown by
the large number that gathered at the
Franklin street school last evening. to

pices of tho Norwalk Bird Club and
the Audubon Society. and the pictures
shown by stereopticon through the
kindness of Rev H B. Carpenter and
Dr. C F. Boutwcll. were among the
finest ever brought to Norwalk. and
wore veri enjoyable.

The object of the Bird Club" is to
spread a knowledge of the bird life
of Norwallt. and to .work for their pro-
tection and should receive the indorse-
ment of all who enjoy the beauty and
song of the birds. 0f the seventy
nine varieties of birds shown all save
the great auk ball eagle and wild pid-
geon have been identified about Nor-
walk.

The ler-turo was given by Wilbur F.
Smith. of South Norwalk. who is one
of those most. interested In the preser~
vation and identification of the birds
in this state. Mr. Smith is thorough-
ly familiar with the subject. and his re-
marks were exceedingly interesting
and instructive He is a good speak

ence as he explained the characteris-

cn by the church. There was a very

tion was given by Mrs. Bradley. The

clerk. The following bill was present
e.d by the representative from Penn-

peal—Decision Tuesday

George W, Carey. of Stratford. who
stood accused of forgery and of per-
jury, the charges growing out of his
management of the estate of John
W. Ford deceased. was found not
guilty at New Haven. yesterday af-
ternoon. of largely but guilty of one
count. of uttering forged documents.
and on three counts of perjury. He
was sentenced by Judge (lager to a
term of 18 months in the state prison
on the first count of uttering forged
documents. and one year in the state
prison upon each of the other three
counts.

Many Dramatic Scoops.

There were many dramatic scenes
in the court throughout the day. it
was after 6 o'clock when the jury
reported from their hour and half
deliberations. Carey seemed the most
lndlfi’erent man in the court room as
the foreman of the jury announced
the verdict. lmmediateiyhis counsel
asked that sentence be deferred penci-
ing an appeal to the higher courts,
State Attorney Williams objected and
a protracted argument over the tech-
nicalities of the law followed. Final-
ly the attorneys for the defense chang-
ed their attitude, and Judge Gager
passed the sentence.

Judge anor'o Remarks.

It was probably the most impres.
sive and dramatic scene of the day.
Carey stood looking at the judge.
seemingly without a hit of emotion.
Judge Gager spoke slowly and with
feeling. He said in part:

"I do not know when I have had
a more painful duty to perform than
the one before the court. The fam
lly connections of the defendant no
pool with irresistible force. 011 the
other hand is the feeling one who
has practiced the profession of law
for some years has been convicted of
a serious breach of trust that cannot
beexcused by the ‘plea of any tom.
porary excitement. A tall sentence is
not adequate. it might answer for
the defendant'hlmself but. there are
other and public considerations that
must. be considered.“

After judgment had been pro
bounced the attorneys for the. do
tense asked if Mr. Carey would be
released on the same bail As former-
ly. pending the appeal. To this the
state attorney objected. and after a
long argument, Judge Gazer recalled
the sentence and ordered Carey rc-
manded to the custody-of the sheriff.
awaiting the decision on the question
of suspending the execution of sen-
tence pending the appeal to the high
er court. On this cemplex point he
will rule Tuesday at 10 o'clock. In
the meantime the convicted man re
mains in the custody of the sheriff of
New Haven county

charge to the Jury.

The jury were given a fair and

able charge by Judge Gager, who di-

 

 

not guilty on the first. count. chars
ing forgery because from the evi-
dence it appeared that the alleged
forgery was committed in the town
of Stratford. and was therefore be-
yond the jurisdiction of the New Ha-
ven court. He also told the jury that
if there was a reasonable doubt of
the guilt of the accused on the other
four counts. he should receive the
benefit of it.

Much sympathy was felt by those
in court for the wife and mother of
Carey. His aged and blind mother
was also at his side when the deputy
carried out the court‘s order remand-
ing him to the custody of the sheriff.

BOYS’ CASES CONTINUED AGAIN.
“The cases of the three boys, Culli-
nane, Anderson and Brown. who were

path they will be snatched up by the
hand of the law and something will
happen.

is not serious.

The cry of "Fire!" was raised by
some person as yet unknown and fot’

begun. Fifteen hundred of the employ-
es are women and girls. most of them
ltalians and Bohemians. The stair-
ways and fire escapes were soon crowd-
ed with struggling men and women.
and not until the police reserves arriv-

discover that there was no danger of
any kind.

Many women and children were
crushed and bruised during the rush.
but the only one seriously injured was
the unknown Italian woman who fell

skull was fractured. '

Hardly had the alarmed workers re-

clatter of a fire engine responding to
an alarm in the same neighborhood

more to the windows and fire escapes.
Then the management decided that the
employees were in no condition to re-
