of the Martha's Vineyard

for Action lalen During
Burning of lien. Slocum

The directors of the Norwalk Steam-
boat Company today gave out their
finding regarding the action of the
steamer Martha‘ I Vineyard at the time
of the buYning of the General Slocum:

First.
Steamboat Company are deeply im-
pressed with the horror of the fatal ac-
cident to the steamer “General Slo-
cum." which destroyed so many lives.

Second We are aware first there is
a sentiment on the part of some of the
citizens of Norwalk that strongly cen-
sures the officers of the “'Martha 9
Vineyard" for their apparent lack of et-
fort to aid the unfortunate passengers
of the “General Slocum" at the time of
the accident. Therefore to aid the di-
rectors of the Norwalk Steamboat Com
party, in arriving at a decision as to
the justice of the adverSe criticisnr of
the acts of the officers of the “Martha' s
Vinoynrd'.’ on the down trip. June 15th.
we invited all who were passengers on
the boat that morning to meet us last
Saturday evening. and testify to the
conditions that existed, and the probe,-
bie value of any aid that could have
been altered by the “Martha's Vinc—
yard" to the people on the “General
Slocum." A number of srrch [)aSSell-
gers appeared and testified.

We round that the opinion of scalar-
ing men and those who are acquainted
with the management of side wheel
steamers and the tides and channels in
the locality of the wreck was, that no
practical aid could have been rendered
by the "Martha‘s Vineyard." and that
the officers of the boat should not be
severely censured. We find from ex.
pert testimony that it was lmpr'actica-
bie for the "illartha‘s Vineyard" to
have approached the "Slocum" by the
north channel. as has been stated by
some of the passengers she should have
done, since these best qualified to
Judge say unhesitatingly that this
would have been extremely hazardous,
as the flames swept across the channel
and there would have been great dan-
ger of our steamer being burned. And
that the captain of the “Months I Vine-
yard" changed his course and started
towards the wreck of the "General Slo-
cum." approaching it from the west end
of NOI'LII Brother island. and. found on
I'Olllludlg the Island that on account of
the rapidity of the destruction (the
“General Slocum" was their a blazing
wreck and her upper decks had fallen
in) it would, according to the teen-
many of experienced men. have been
impossible from this point to have tak-
en the "Martha‘s Vineyard" nearer to
the “Slocum" without hindering the
work of rescue which was already go-
ing on, and hazarding the lives of her
passengers.

The condition of the “Gen. Slocum"
at. that time was such that according to
thetestlmony of such men as Captain
Whiton, of the New Bedford, Martha’s
Vineyard and Nantucket Steamboat
Company. Captain John L Richards,
Captain William Rose Captain Oscar
St John, and other seafaring men who
are well versed as to the tides. cur-
rents. and conditions around and about
the locality of the wreck, and in the
handling of steamboats. that no proba-
ble aid even to the saving of one life
could have been rendered. Even though
from a practical standpoint we can find
no grounds for censure of the officers
of the 'Martba' s Vineyard." the direc-
tors of the Norwalk Steamboat Com-
pany regret that no life— boat was low-
ered from our company's steamer.

ines Owned by Everett
0. Shbman Out of the Way
as they had Attacked
Charles Jackson’s Sheep

Police Sergeant Thomas Hunt who is
also a constable of the Town of Nor-
walk. was served with a notice by the
selectmen to exercise one of the pre-
rogatives of his oilice, and go to Chest-
rlut Hill, which is in the town of Nor-
walk. yesterday, and kill two dogs
owned by Everett 0. Shipman. in send
ing him on this errand. however, he
was frankly told that it‘ he put the alli-
rnals out of existence he would have
to tear them from Mrs. Shiplnun's lap.
Sergeant Hunt is used to overcoming
difficult police tasks. alrd this sluic-
mellt on the part of the seiectmcu did
not worry him III the least,

Complaint had berm made to the
town fathers that the Shipman dogs
trod killed five sheep and a lamb. own-
cd by Charles Jackson. a neighbor. As
a compensation for the damage done,
the lives of the sheep killing camnes
were demanded.

Mr. and Mrs. Shipmun did not want
the lives of their dogs taken. and it
was expected that tile officer would
have a lively time in his effort to ren-
der them hors de combat.

Undaunted by promised difficulties.
Mr. Hunt set out. for Chestnut Hill.
yesterday afternoon, alld having no
other alternative, it was a case of kill
the dogs. He drove to the Shipmau
residence and explained the situation.
i‘hough there. were considerable pro-
testations on the part of the owner's.
ile shot the dogs‘and buried them.

Mr. Shipman was willing to pay for
the loss of the sheep. and told the bill:
car that rather than have the rlogr
killed. he would pay $1,000 damages.

Sergeant Hunt was asked what kind
of dogs they were and he replied that
he was under the impression that they
were mongrols.

He put three dogs out of existence
yesteruay. An animal in Clark street
had the distemper, and he was hustled
out of his misery by the aid of the
sergeant" s trusty revolver

Town Clerk Herbert R. Smith warns
be public that unless dog licenses are
paid up, there will soon be something
"doing." In his notice he states that
1 list of all persons owning or harbor~
ing unlicensed dogs will be given to the
selectmon on July fat, for prosecution,
according to law.

For the convenience of South Nor~
walk dog owners. Mr. Smith will be at
the real estate agency of Jacob M. Lay—
ton, 5 Railroad avenue, this afternoon
from 3 until 6 o'clock and this even-
ing from 7 until 9 o'clock.

it is believed that there are some-
thing llae 000 dogs in the Town of Nor-
walk unlicensed at the present time.

Ten dollars I week is the sum Judge
Roruback has ordered William W.
Comstock. of South Norwullr, to pay
his wife as alimony pending the trial
of her suit for divorce against him.

ThiI order was somethblg of a blow
to Attorney Homer Cummings of Stam-
ford who represents Mrs. Comatock.
He said Mr. Comatoclt wus worth any-
where from 8150. 000 to $226. 000
and he said he thought that in order
that his client should beislrpportod in
the style to which she had been accus-
tomed. she should be given one or two
hundred or month at least.

His claim was oppose by Judge
John H. Light. who said r. Colnstock
was not nearly so rich as he was rep-
resented by Mr. Cummings. The court
last week made his intention plain of
not allowing Mrs. Comstock any exces~
sive alimony during the litigation.

The action was agair taken rrp in

Fourth Pious

NOIWdiii Department Of-
iicers Will Have Men on lio-
ly all Night of the 3rd and
Day of the 41h. at Various
Headquarters

The officers of the Norwalk Fire De-
partment have completed their plans
for Fourth of July precautions and
they were discussed at the monthly
meeting of the department officers,
held last evening at the Main street
tire house.

Men will be stationed all night July
3rd and all day July 4th, at the Main
sir-eel ilre house. the Hope Hose house
and stable and members of the Fire
Police will be on hand at their rooms.
This is the usual precaution taken. Ill
order that the department may be
ready for instant service.

Several other matters were brought
up at last evening‘s meeting. A com-
mittee of forlr was appointed to talk up
the matter of an entertainment for the
fall. Just the nature of it has not yet
been decided rlpon. The committee
will report at the next meeting.

Each rrrouih. the companies of the
department. will hereafter turn over $3
to Chief l’rowitt and he will deposit
the snare in a savings bank as a de-
partment filed, to be used forvvarious
purposes.

A department library is one of the
things planned. This. it is believed.
will meet, “‘l-M considerable favor.

The liremen'a serenade by the Sec-
ond Regiment Band. after the Field
Day exercises of Clinton Commandery.
at, Gregory‘s Point. last evening, has
created a great deal of comment. As
soon as Chief Prowitt heard that some
of the members of the. Commandcry
objected. he immediately cancelled
any excursion to the point on the part
of the firemen.

A member of the Clinton Command-
dery stated this morning that the ob-
lection was not made by the Command-
ery as a whole but merely by two
members. This Knight said there
would have been ‘no objection to the
members of the department going to
the point and that anyway the Point
is a public place He would have been
glad to see the human.

The firemen did not take the initia-
tory ill the matter. The subject was
broached to Chief Prowitt by a prom-
inent. Knight. A member of the band
had told the latter that the band was
glad it was coming down to Norwalk.
as they would like to call on the Nor-
walk fireman. with whom they were
on very friendly terms. Tile knight
then went to Chief Prowitt with the
sugg caution that the members of the de-
partment take a trip down to Gre-
gory's Point and it was agreed u on.
Chief Prowitt spoke of the motto to
Mayor Ferdinand B. Smith, who is a
member of Clinton Commandery. and
he saw no objection to the presence of
the firemen and said he would be glad
to see the boys down there.
