Attempt At Suicide

 

Thomas Moaorry Drank Half Pint
Wood Alcohol. Slashed Wrist and
Turned on the Gal.

 

Thomas McCarry. of South Norwalk.
a young-.man aged 20 years, who has
charge of Lee's hat store in Derby.
made two unsuccessful attempts to
commit suicide on Monday afternoon.
The reason for the acts could not he
learned today. as his acquaintances
did not seem to know.

According to his employer, who went
to Derby from New Haven yesterday
morning. McCarry said that he had
been contemplating the act for some
time. as he had not been feeling well.
and Monday afternoon decided to
make the attempt. His courage failed
him and to get his nerve up to the
point necessary he bought a half pint
of wood alcohol and going to the store
drank it. Then he took a razor and
slashed a gash in his left wrist, hoping
that while under the influence of the
alcohol he would bleed to death, but
failing to cut an artery he went to his
room in the Haskell House. Derby.
shortly before 6 o'clock and them turn-
ed on the gas.

Shortly after 6 o'clock some of the
boarders in adjoining rooms heard
groans coming from the room and
smelled gas, and they notified L. W.
Haskell. who went to the room and
found the man lying on the bed uncon-
scious. with a razor lying on a chair
beside the bed.

Dr. Donovan and Dr. Richardson
were summoned and at once treated
the man. and after working over him
some time restored him to conscious
noss. Ten minutes longer in the gas-
fllled room would have caused the
man's death. After the man was re-
stored to consciousness he seemed to
improve as rapidly as possible and to
day Dr. Donovan says he is getting on
all right.

Mc-Garry went to Derby a few weeks
ago to take charge of the store and
since he has lived there has been a
quiet. and unassuming young man. He
did not drink and no reason for the at-
hemm to take his own life is known

ere.

Rev. Willem James Ar-
ranges for the Eleventh
Annual Conference of the
Shristien Workers at lieiie
island. which Begins Next
Sunday

Bell island saw its gala day on the
Fourth, and it was never livelier or
more pleasant than this year. Thc
hotels and cottages were all thronged
with visitors. the shady walks were
filled with strolling couples and play-
lng children, boats were darting in the
waters off its shores and its bathing
beaches were crowded with bathers. it
was certainly a great day at the island.
Tile gospel tent at Bell island is to
,be placed in position the latter part of
this Week, and the eleventh summer-
conferonce of Christian workers will
begin Sunday. the 10th lust. and con»
tiuuc during the entire week, and also
include Sunday, the 17th Inst. Two
sessions will be held daily at 3:30 and
7:45 a. m. A number of clergyman
and Christian lay workers from New
York will be among the speakers. Miss
Naun E. Miller. with two lady assists
ants, will be present during the entire
conference. Miss Miller, who is known
as the singing lady evangelist. made
many friends while holding evangelis-
tic meetings at South Norwaik and
Stamford, last winter, and the friends
at both places will be pleased to know
that she is to be at the Bell island
confluence. Prof. Nice, of New York
the Christian violinist, is also to be
present and take part in some of the
services. E. Colo, of Sound Beach.
has been engaged to lead the singing.
The Sentinel. as heretofore. will givc
extended reports of the different sos~
sions of the conference.

Yesterday there was quite a little
excitement at the Belle island beach.
A stylish carriage drawu by a pair of
handsome horses drove down to the
beach and into the water for the pur
pose of cooling the horses a little. Th4
soil at the bottom is of rather peculiuv
coiistruction. it is hard on top. form
ing a sort of crust over a very viacid
sort of mud. .The horses broke
through the crust’and mired. it war
with great difficulty that they manage’iil
to save them at all as they. fell ever’i‘r
their frightened struggle. Final]:
they were imhsrnessed and led ashore
The ladies and gentlemen in the ego
rings were taken ashore in a boat and
the carriage was nnaily‘backed ashore
by a number of bathe-rs who happened
to be present. This furnished con.
siedarble excitement. while it lasted.

The bathing at Hickory Biuif is run
ning full blast now, and the water is
lust the right temperature to be re—
freshing and healthful. ‘

DeWitt Roscoe and Miss Ruscoo. of
New Canaan. are new occupying their
cottage at Hickory Bluff.

. The Belle island House was crowd-
ed with guests over Sunday and the

modations were obliged to seek them
elsewhere. Among those at the hotel

Miss Pinned. the libre-
riaii. and the Board of Di-
rectors Submii iiieir An-
nual Reports—«fills of Mu-
nicipal Departments Ap
proved

The only business transacted at last
night's adjourned uiouihiy [peeling of
the Norwaik city council was the ap-
proving of bills of the various munici-
pnl departments and the hearing of the
annual report of the board of directors
of the. cit.‘ library and of the city li-
brarian. Miss Dolha Stone Pinneo.
which reports were typewritten and
consisted of about fifteen good sized
pages.

The reports summarized the work of
the year. showing that very apprecia-
ble progress had been made. includ-

 

new building. built with money given
by Andrew Carnegie. the steel king. on
a site given gratis by H. E. Bishop. A
further subscription of something like
“.000 had been given by other Nor.
walk citizens to mmpiete the work.

The only thing regretted was that
the basement auditorium is not yet
complete and it was hoped that this
portion of the building would belinish-
ed up as soon as poasible.

The reports Were full and compro-
henslve and were read to the asaembi»
ed councilman by Mayor Ferdinand B.
Smith.

Mention was made of the need of
various kinds of new books and of the
system of securing Bodiey blub books.
exchanging forty each month. Miss
Pinneo. in her report. said that this
l‘lll‘luh'flllon had proved very success-

n . .

Another innovation was the placing
of books at the Wall street car born
of the Connecticut Railway and Light
ing Company. for the new of the troll
ieyinen. Sim another was the loaning
of books which at the library do not
have a very general circulation. to the
Nul'wnik Congregational Sunday
school. This system may be extended
to other Sunday schools. The above
mentioned methods of giving out
bricks is pursued in many progressive
places. ' .

When the auditorium of the library
is completed. Miss ,i’inueo suggested
readings. particularly for the blind.

The practice of opening the library
on Sunday afternoons had proven very
popular but opening it on holidays had
met with indifferent success, the at-
tendance sometimes being as low as
half a dozen pimple. ’

tuning the year, there have been
more than .e.000 visitations to the li-
brary and over 42,000 books given out.
the library year ended on clay dist.

’ihere are nine directors of the in
solution. including Hubert E. Bishop.
Horace b2. Dunn. Homer Merrill, Eu~
gene L. Boyer. Dr. James G. Gregory.
Dr. William J. Tracey. John 1’. Trend.
well. John A. Osborn and Charles iii.
Miller. The inttcr's decease occured
a few months ago.

The terms of three of these expire
this your. Messrs. Miller, Dana and
Merrill. .

in their report. the directors express-
;ad their sorrow at the loss of Mr. Mil
er.

Mayor Smith was not positive wheth-
er the directors were to be nominated
by him and confirmed by the council
or whether they were, to be elected by
the council. For this reason the new
directors were not chosen last. evening
but the matter was left over for the
next meeting. Messrs. Dana and Meri-
rlli will in all probaility be rechosen
for the office. '

Five councilman were present at last
night's meeting, including Messrs Am.
bier, Lockwood. Gould. Nibiock and
Betta. _.

The bills of the various city depart.
ments approved \amounted to $1,416..

At the last meeting. the council abab
ed the tax of. Joel Spohn. 81.000 be.
cause he was a Civil War Veteran. It
has later developed that the assessors
reduced his assessment from 03.200 to
$3,200. bachuse he was a veteran and
for and moon be Is not. entitled to
another abatement. .The matter will
be'further looked into and a report. will
probably be made at the next meeting

tor. docks and freight sheds and the
Allen steamer Austrian. was still burn.
ing today. though little remained for

The police today continued search
for the bodies of the sailors who were
drowned by leaping from the burning

recovered.

Today's careful estimates of the lee
