Bold Attempt
ill Arson

llouseOooupied by Michael
Orrls and Owned by John
looohair. to Smith Street.
Discovered on fire in lwo

Places Early Sunday

A bold attempt at arson was made
in South Norwalk early yesterday
morning. but very fortunately for the
occupants of the house, the fire, which
was burning in too different places.
was discovered in time to prevent in«
jury to anyone, although the damage
to the building will be considerable.

Michael Orris and family occupy the
house at No. 8 Hoyt street, which is
owned by John Lonchak, who conducts
the saloon at No. 23 Day strect. With
the Orrla family lives a boarder. The
latter was awakened Just at daybreak,
Sunday, and he surmised that some-
thing was wrong. He aroused a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Orris, and together the
young men went down stairs. They
found that the house was on fire in
two places. The most serious blaze
was about the back porch. A baby
carriage had been left out in the back
yard all night. This had contained
a piece of black dress goods, pillow and
pillow case, etc., and these articles had
been removed, and with a large piece
of wood. and’other inflammable mater-
ial. had been piled on the back stoop
and set on fire. The fiames bud eat-
en their way into the kitchen, and
burned quite. a large hole in the floor.

The other fire was at the front en-
trabce to the house. There is quitc
a space under the front door, and
through this some paper and rags
had been forced. and a match applied.
The door was on fire on both outside
and inside. The young men hastily
aroused the other people in the house,
and by hard work succeeded in extin-
guishing the flames.

The house as well as the contents
were insurod. Mr. Orris was pinn-
ning to move his family out ncxt
week, and he is at il ions to tinder-
stand why anyone. should set fire to the
house anti run the risk of cremating
himself and relatives. .He has not an
enemy in the world that he is aware
of, and in order to apprehend the gull-
ty party. if such a thing: is possible.
he reported thc matter to the South
Norwalk police. who are making an
investigation, and may call on the,
state fire marshal's office to come here
and take hold of the matter.

SQUALL UPSETS CANOE.

Mlsa Lena Blackman. of Torrinaton,
Loses Her Life.

WINSTED. Conn., May 9.——A house
party of Torrington _and Winsted
young people came to a sudden end
this morning by the drowning of Miss
Lena Blackman. of Torrington. one of
the members of the party. She was
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Blackman. The accident happened in
Highland lake, and has caused great
sorrow among the islands of Miss
Biackman in this section of the state.

Miss Blackman was with Guy
Beecher. of Torrington. at the time of
the accident, and since it occurred he
has been out of his head and was ink-
on this afternooa to his home in Ton

.rlngto’n under this care of a pby a.

Miss Blackman and he were joy-
ing a paddle in a canoe about 8 o 'clock
this morning when a sudden squall
came up. Beecher suggested that they
put in to shore and walk to the cot-
tage, where they were staying, but
Miss Blackman said she thought they
could reach there safely. and so
Beecher headed for the landing, not
more than 200 feet. away.

After going a few feet. the frail
craft capsized within sight of other
members of the party on shore. An
attempt. was made to launch a boat by
some. of the gentlemen of the party,
but the waves were running. very high.
making it impossible for them to do
so.

Beecher, who is a good swimmer,
succeeded in holding onto the canoe
and for a time kept Miss Blackman's
head above the water. Twice he put
her almost lifeless body on the bot—
tom of the overturned canoe, when it
would slip off, but after the second
time. Miss Blackman. who was then
unable to help herself, sank in 20
feet of water.

Beecher clung to the boat and
drifted with it to the shore, and soon
after he became delirious and was put
in charge of a physician. He was re-
ported in that condition tonight.

As soon as the wind allowed, grap
pllng irons were used from steam
launches, and after five hours‘ search
for the body it. was brought to the
surface and taken to the shore.

Some of the friends of the drowned
young woman became hysterical. one
of them fainting when she saw her
friend go down In the lake. She is
Miss Elma Drake. of Drakeville, a life
long friend of Miss Biackman. Miss
Drake was a member of the heuse
party as a guest of Miss Blackman.
and tonight she was reported in an
unconscious condition.

HARTFORD, MAYER—Arguments in
the Norwalk Division case were begun
before the special co'rnmittce which re.-
cently heard the tptimouy at great
cngth. Attorney Stoddard who was
retained with other counsel for the de-
fense, but who was it the south at the
time evidence was :Ven, appeared in
the case for the tint time today. At—
I,witii a review of
the iespondents. C sci on both sides
have submitted briefs covering the is-
sues and testimonY. Mid the oral argu-
ments made today were supplementary.
Mr. Sperry said that the evidence had
been reduced to a final fact and he
would like to have the committee to
agree to it that it. was the custom of
the governor to recognize a legislative
day and not a calendar day under the
constitution. He said that the ques-
tion had never't’iriocisfiicevthe adoption
of the present constitution, Prior to
1855 the legislature generally sat every
week day. From 1868 it was possible
for the question to have arisen. 1 10m
1868 to 1582 it has not been possible to
determine accurately when bills were
transmitted to the governor. and the
date of his action in regard to them.
Mr. Sperry said that it was the practice
of .the governor to take more than
three calendar days, and often three
legislative days for action on bills or
resolutions. He .asked the committee
therefore to find for the respondents in
the matter. in reviewing the testi-
mony he said that in the last twenty-
one years twenty-five vetoes have been
made by five governors, and of that
number eight vetoes were sent In after
three calendar days, thereby recogniz—
ing legislative days as those intended
by the constitution. Mr, Sperry alluded
to the testimony of Clerk Root, which
was to the effect that governors under-
stood that they had a right to hold bills
three legislative days. The practice in
the ofilce of the Secretary of States has
been. Mr. Sperry said. to permit of
the expiration of three legislative days
before certifying that a bill had become
a law without the signature of the
governor.

Body of James Eitzgib-

day Afternoon-Disappeared
Several Weeks Age

The body of James Charles Fitzgib-
boas, a Norwalk man, who had lived in
Connecticut avenue, had been engaged
In business here, anti had also worked
as an iron mouider in local factories.
was found in a terrible state of decom-
position. in the Norwalk River, Sutur—
dsy. by four men who were out for a
pleasure trip in a launch.

Saturday afternoon, Edwin Brush, of
Bayview avenue, decided to celebrate
the first Saturday afternoon off from
his employment at the Norwalk iron
Works, and he took James Evenden,
George E. Vredenburgh and P. E.
Wardwell out for a sail in his launch
Gloria. They intended to go down the
harbor fishing. When they had pro-
ceeded some distance it was discovered
that one of the fenders was missing,
and they decided to cruise back along
the shores to see if they could recover
the fender. They were just above the
Danbury dock, when Mr. Brush noticed
a peculiar looking object in me water.
He thought that it looked like the
body of a man floating face downward.
The others thought it was nothing bill
it gunny stick or something of that
ltind. Mr. Brush directed the course
of the launch toward it. and discovered
that his guess was right. They made
fast a rope to one leg of the corpse anti
towed it to the wharf of the Norwalk
iron Works, where it was tied. Mr.
:irush thcn notified Medical Examiner
Huntington, who reached the scene
some time afterward. lie stated that
‘luptain iletts. of the City of Norwalk,
had telephoned to him that he had
sighted the body of a man floating in
the river. it was further learned that
a boy named \yillie Olrlock, had soon
the body floating tip the river.

The remains were at that time un-
identified und were in such a condition
from decomposition and eaten by fish
that it was believed that it would be
impossible to identify the body.

Medical Examiner Huntington gave
orders that Undertaker D. W. Raymond
‘eiuove lIlL‘ body. This was done and a
search was made for marks of liieutlt‘i
cation. in the pockets of the clothing
was found a book of the lronmouiders'
Union, of this city, containing the
name of James C. Fitzgibbons. Core
making was his particular branch OI
the trade. Friends of l’iizgibbonk were
then sent for, and he was positively
identified by a Scar on his chin and by
a ring on one of his fingers. In one
of his pockets was a letter written by
it friend in Bridgeport. This made the
identification complete. and the re
mains were taken to Norwalk and his
relatives notified of the find which had
been made.

Fitzgibbons had for some time been
of a wandering disposition, and had
not been home in a year, having work-
ed in Hartford and Newburgh, N. 31..
during the past winter. When he left
there is not known, neither is it known
how long he had been in the water. The
appearance of the remains would indi-
cate that it might have been there for
weeks or months. This part of the
Iciase is being investigated by the po-

ce.

Medical Examiner Huntington view-
ed the remains, and found that death
was caused by drowning. There were
no marks on the body which would in-
dicate any other cause of death. I'rob-
ably the case will remain shrouded in
mystery and the details may never be
known.

Deceased was twenty-eight years of
age. He leaves a mother, two brothers.
John and William Fitzgibbons, and
three sisters. Miss Anna M. Fitzgih-
boas, Mrs. Thomas Skidd and Mrs.
Nora Brady. The deceased carried
$500 life insurance in the John Hancock
Company.

The funeral was held this afternoon
at'3 o'clock, at St. Mary's Cemetery.
