located Remains floating
Near the Bridgeport light
——-ilesomb|ed in Appear-
ance Corpses Picked Up
0ft Norwalk ’

Two unidentified bodies in a bad
state of decomposition, have been
found in this harbor during the past
few weeks and yesterday afternoon.
one was discovered In Bridgeport. float.
ing in the Sound, All three of the
bodies were dresser] as if the men were
on a fishing expedition last winter, and
were drowned. 0n neither of the three
bodies could there be found any mark
of identification. Many believe that
the body found at Bridgeport, and the
two found here are the corpses of
members of some party who were lost
posibly w..ilc duck shooting or fish—
ing.

The body of the man was seen float-
ing in the water near the liridgeport
light, by the crew of a tug from 80th
Norwnlk, and Captain Garrett Corson
attached a rope to the corpse and tow-
ed it in the harbor and up to the wharf
at. the foot of Wall street. The police
were notified and Medical Examiner
Downs was called up, and gave per-
mission for the remains to be re-
moved to the morgue.

Decomposition had set in some time
ago. and it was rather difficult to get
a good description of the man. The
opinion of Dr. Downs was that the
body had been in the water for four
months. The man was about. five feet,
eight inches, was smooth faced, and
there Were no marks on his body.
The following inventory was taken of
his clothing: Heavy undershirt. heavy
drawers, woolen stockings, blue flan~
ncl shirt, black diagonal trousers and
vest, heavy ulster coat of rough ma-
terial, blue .sweater one hip rubber
boots. There was nothing in the
pockets of the clothing but a corn cob
pipe and a pocket knife. The only
distinguishing mark on him the].
would be liable to lead to his iden-
tity was that his teeth Were regular
and setter-oi were filled with gold. On
the Inside of the vest there was a la
bel which the water had rendered
partly rmdistlngulshable. The Words
“Robbins, Custom Tailor," were
clear, but the writing under it looked
as much like "Kipp“ as anything.

Hu Received Tempting Offers From
Canada and Dnnhury, and Will
Probably Accept Ono.

There is little likelihood that the
Woithausen Hut. Corporation w‘ll lo-
cate in this city. though they are do.
slrous of doing so. They have receiv.
ed a number of very fine offers of in,
ducemenis to locate elsewhere. One of
these offers ts from Dnnbury. and an-
other ts from a place in Canada. where
they have been offered a large factory.
formerly occupied by a hat company.
Mr. Wolthausen was asked this
morning regarding them and said: "We
shall take the best. offer we can get.
We have had a number of very good
ones from other cities, and will con-
sider them very carefully. one at a
time. As yet no tempting offer has
been made by South Norwalk to keep
the concern here, though its payroll
last year was in the neighborhood of
$60,000. it is probable that either the
Canadian offer or the Danbury offer
will be accepted by the company."

City of Bridgeport Today.
BRIDGEI’ORT_ June 18.--The board
of 1....ipplne Commissioners which is
making a tour of the principal cities
of the United States. arrived here at
10:30 a. m. today. They were accom-
panied by a committee of the Board of
Trade, which went to New York to
meet them last night and wore welcom-
ed at the railroad station by a salute
of 21 guns. Automobiles were in
waiting and conveyed the entire party
about the city for an inspection of
the factories. A feature of the day
was the sounding of a fire alarm box
on Main street by the president of the
board to demonstrate the speed of the
fire department in responding to an
alarm. As the American system of
fire fighting has been established in
Manilla only recently. this demonstra-
tion was of particular interest to the
visitors.

This afternoon from 4 to 6 there will
be a recpilon at the public library, and
this evening an elaborate banquet
will be served at which Governor
Chamberlain, President Hadley of
Yale University; Congressman N. D.

Attorney Homer 8.0um-
mings Before the Superior
Court in the interests of
Mrs. William W. Gomstock.
of South Norwalk

Attorney Homer 3. Cummings. of
Stamford, was in the civil superior
court. yesterday, before Judge Alberto
T. ltoroback to try and get 8200 a
month alimony pending litigation for
his client, Lottie C. M. Comatock, wifc
of William W. Comatook. of South Nor—
walk. who is string for a divorce on the
grounds of intolerable cruelty. if the
divorce is granted Mrs. Comstock
would like about $75,000 alimony.

The motion was strongly opposed by
Judge John H. Light, who appeared
for Mr. Cornstock. incidentally some
statements were made about the cori-
ple which indicate that the divorce
will be bitterly fought.

Judge ltoraback advised counsel to
get together on the matter and agree
to a reasonable 2allowance for the
wife, He intimated to Mr. lummings
that he did not propose to allow an
extravagant sum for alimony pend-
ing the- litigation. He would con—
tinue the case for a week to give coun-
sel a chance to get together.

in making his motion Mr. Cummings
said they had alleged in their com-
plaint that Mr. Comstock was worth
5250.000. They had attached mort'
gages to the amount of $29,000. and
real estate worth about $30,000 more.
Then there was fairly visible other
property which would carry Mr. Corn-
stock's fortune. up to about 375.000. But
they understood that he had New York.
New Haven & l-lartford stock, many
bonds and other securities and cash
in the banks. There was hardly any
doubt that he was worth 3150.000, In
view of this Mr. Cummings thought
his wife ought to be allowed at least
$200 a mouth.

Judge Light said that his friend had
asserted in his complaint that the do
fondant was worth $250,000 without
having the slightest authority for it.
and he had no more authority for put.-
ting the figure at $150000. Judge
Light did not believe Mr. Comstock
was worth more titan $50,000.

Judge Light was also sure that if the
court knew an the facts in the case it
would not allow the wife any alimony
pending litigation. The couple were
married in the West on February 8.
1899. in the fall the wife left and
went to (”Yaiiiornia. She returned after
an obscure of a little less than three
years, in order to prevent her husband
front getting a divorce on the grounds
of dcsertlon. At the. time the papers
were served the wife was living with
her husband. He had no idea that she
had any intent to sue for separation tin-
tll the papers were handed to him.

The action was commenced about a
month ago, and created quite a sense-
tion in Norwalk. Mr. Cornstock is a
man of very quiet habits. He made
his money in the grocery and hard;
ware business and in small real estate
speculations. He lives in a modest
house in South Norwaik, and no one
would think from appearances that he
was worth much money.

With Slocum's Dead

Diver Brought Eight to the aurflco
and Wu Then Obllpod to Aban-
don Search.

NEW YORK, Juno .18.-—A diver who
today renewed the search for victims
of the steamer General Slocum disast-
er, found a deep hole in the bed of the
river near the foot of the sloping lawn
on North Brother island. where the
bodies of the first victims were laid
last Wednesday. which was practical-
ly filled with bodies. Within an hour
after the search was begun eight bod-
ies had been brought to thee niece, and
when he was forced to abandon work
for a time because of the swift current,
bc said that between thirty and “My
bodies still remained in the hole.

One of the bodies taken from the
water today was that of a woman.
wrapped or entangled in a large Amerl‘
can flag. After the lapse of three days
since the disaster, the most carefully
collected data shows that five. hun-
dred and sixty—eight bodies have been
recovered up to this time.

Based on the same data the list of
missing today was estimated at 330,
while 53 victims of the disaster werc
in hospital slowly recovering from
their injuries.

Elaborate arrangements had been
made by the police for the handling of
the crowds that were expected to at.-
tend the many funerals in the stricken
district today. Twenty-three ser
:oants. ten roundsmc'n and four hun-
dred patrolmen were detailed to attend
the funerals. A force was stationed
at each church. So far as could be
learned plans had been made for the
burial of one hundred and eleven bod~
ies from homes in the vicinity of St.
Mark's Church. The plans included
services in 37 churches. of all denomi‘
nations in that. neighborhood.

Considerable tillllculty had been ex:
perionced by the undertakers who haw
contracted for the burial of the bodier
in securing a sufficient number of hear—
sea, and it became necessary to call up
on Jersey City, Newark, Hoboken and
various places in. West Chester coun
iy in order to supply the demand. The
scene in the stricken district toda:
beggarod description. in accordance
with the German custom, the pooplr
who are obliged to be out of doors
passed through the streets with bored
beads. Business was practically sus
pended and nearly every store was
draped in black.

The funerals began at an early hour
and at times the streets were com‘
pletely blocked and traffic. of other
kinds was irnposslblcn Every church
in the vicinity was filled to its oupacl
'y. Clorgymeu from all parts of the
city had left. their own congregatiom
and come down to the bereaved dis
trict to do what. they could to give spir-
itualconsolatlon to the affliced.

Norwalk Association will
Donate $5,000 to Anyone
who will Erect a Suitable
liotei----00mmittee Appoint-
ed to Secure Sun

The Norwalk Business Men's Asso-
ciation will give anybody the sum of
$5.000, who will put up a suitable mod-
ern hotel in the city. it. was decided
to take this step at. an enthusiastic
meeting. held last night. at the office
of the Norwalk Securities Corporation,
in Wall street.

The association appointed Dr. Wil-
liam l". Acton and Marcellus R. Ben-
nett a committee to secure this sum for
this purpose.

The meeting was called at the in-
stance of Mr. Bennett, who had a pro-
position from New York business men.
who would agree to put up a $40,000
itructurc'on condition that the city
giVe them free of cost a suitable site.

in view of the fact that a desirable
site would probably on“ from $12,000
to $15,000, this proposition did not meet
with very strong approval, and was
not taken tip. instead a. counter offer
of $5,000 met with much favor on the
part of those in attendance.

Those ado-ruling this meeting includ-
«1 Judge Asa B. Woodward, Err-Lieu-
;enant Governor Edwin C. Keefer.
firestorm Harvey M. Kent, of the Nor-
walk Businehs Men's Association. Pet—
if I“. Burns, John T. Hayes, viiester
«iyutt, Mayor Ferdinand B. Smith, Ex-
Mayor Arthur C, Wheeler, Congress-
man E. J. Hill, Howard A. Crampton.
George M. Holmes, William A. Curtis.
Albert R. Malkin, lra Cole. Henry F.
Coleburn, Harrie A. Smith. Selectman
Samuel Lyrics, fix—Mayor George B.
Buxton, H. In. Dean. M. R. Bennett.
Ex-Represen‘atlve E. S. Adams and Dr.
Acton.

About everyone present expressed
their opinion on the subject in hand.
so it was said this morning. The
presence of newspaper men in the ca-
pacity of reporters was objected to on
the grounds that some would bet ex-
press themselves if they thought that
what they said would appear in print.

Several sites were spoken of, as be-
ing desirable for a hotel, of course.
each position having its friends.
Among the points mentioned were the
lulin B. Lockwood place, in East Wail
street. the corner of Wall and Cross
street. and the site next to the Nor-
walk Club building. ’

M, R. Bennett. who prosentml the let-
Ler at the meeting. in which an offer
was made to build a hotel if a slit:
was given, stated this morning that the
meeting was a very enthusiastic one.
and be confidently believes that a new
hotel will be secured for the city.

It is probable that the committee
will go to work and correspond with
business men who weald consider the
building of a hotel here.

The securing of a new hotel for the
~~lty is a matter that has agitated the
rity's business men for quite a good
many years. but in thepast it has seem—
‘d to have been a hard proposition.
and an unsurmountabie obstacle. There
are man now. however. who are en-
thusiastic believers that a new hotel
will be in course of construction be-
fore it great while. .

 

 

CASES m NOR’WALK count.

There were two cases before the
Norwalk Court for the disposition of
Judge id. M. Lockwood this morning.

Adolph Shilander, whose case was

The case of Mrs. Bridget Sullivan

result of a neighborly row In Chapel
