Pet tion For I.

' Illuminating Company, but the

d Receiver

Irar

Inquiry Made Into the
Affairs of the Ridgefeild
Illuminating Company. ile-
iore Judge 6. W. Wheeler.
In Brlgeport. Yesterday

An effort was made. yesterday, to
Illumine the affairs of the Ridgefield
lu-
quiry was about as productive as an
inquiry into the management of those

speculative ventures which have dis-
turbed New York for more than a
year past.

The matter came up before Judge
George W. Wheeler at the county
court house upon the application of
Hiram K. Scott, and many other
prominent ltidgefield citizens, for the
appointment of a receiver. After
hearing what evidence could be pro-
duced and the statement of Attorney
George H. Bartholomew of Itldgetield
representing the petitioners the
judge took the name of Judge Harvey
P, Bissell, of Ridgeileld, as a prop-
er person to be‘nfimed as receiver.
and said that when the papers were
prepared he would announce his de-
clsion.

According to the story which could
be gleaned up from the few witness-
es at hand this little company seems
to have run things in an astonishing-
ly happy-go-lucky way. Cyrus P. Ern-
body, of this city. was down as the
secretary and treasurer, but he does
not seem to have ever kept a record
or received a penny. The company
had no bank account, and so far as
the secretary knew. no check book,
ledger or anything else.

L. F. Curtis, the well-known druggist.
was part backer of the affair, and If

 

 

William J, Murphy, of, Ridgefleld, is to .

be believed. Mr, Curtis is out between
three and four thousand dollars on the
,Venture.

Another former well~knowu Bridge-
porter whose name not into the ven-
ture as holder of the entire capital
stock. whether or not he ever paid
a penny did not appear, is William
H, Brown, now of Baltimore. Mr.
Curtis transferred 477 shares of stock
to Mr. Brown, but just what for, the
secretary could not tell.

Mr. Embody admitted that he held
some stock. and then he further ac-
knowledged that he never paid airy-
thlng for it.

There seems to have been all sorts
of funny things about the company
and the location in Ridgefield, first to
the joy and then to the sorrow of the
town.

One Mead—nobody seems to know
his first name-dropped into Ridge
field one fine day and told the were

, thy people that with such great me

tropolltan people as Mr. Carey and
the Bankers Lounsbury, to say noth-
ing of 'many others, in town. they
ought to have a gas plant.

Mr. Mead,was well qualified to talk
gas. Before he left town, he had se-
cured contributions to the amount of
31.800.

Then wordwas sent that the Ridge—
lleld. Illuminating Company was organ-
ized and the “Cable Construction
Company" would build the plant. All
this sounded big and Ridgefield felt
happy. « ‘

But the building operation was not
altogether pleasing. Work was done
that made many a hard headed Ridge-
fielder look aakance at the job. An-
cient pipes were laid in the streets.
Some of it was so poor, so Attorney
Bartholomew said. that it was after-
wardsused for rail fences.

But after- awhile the gas was gen
erated-and Ridgefield felt big as life
when the streets were lighted up.

But'the joy was short lived. After
awhile the ancient pipes ebgan to
leak and that beautiful country air
for which Ridgefield was famous. was
soon as contaminated as a side street
in darkest New York. There were all
sorts of complaints.

Things went from bad to worse. Fi-
nally 'Mr. Murphy took hold of the
plant and tried to run it, but he be-
came disgusted and retired from the
field. There was much inquiry for
Mend, but the last heard of him he
was in Canada.

Nothing has been heard from the
company and suits of indebtedness

 

' have been coming in. A judgment

and an order of sale was obtained for
a .00 claim. The property is to be
‘Ibld on July 15. The plant has been
closed for a week and Ridgefieid is

' again at the mercy of the Standard
» Oil Company.

All this led to the application for
1h about of a receiver. The
hope to save a few dot
* the lights and interests
on what he did not

I Runaway Automobile-

Entered at the South Norwalk

Post-Office as Second Class Matter.

Crashed Into Stone Wall

Exciting Experience of Broker W. K.
Maples and His Chauffeur In Soa-
vlow Avenue, Last Night.

 

A rather exciting time took place
last evening early on Roavlew nvr-rrur.
The large automobile recently pur-
chased from the Pope Manufacturing
Company by William K. Maples. anti
operated by a chauffeur from the fulf-
tory, who is engaged in teaching Mr.
Maples how to run the machine. was
proceeding along at a moderate rate
of speed. It struck a hammock in
the road and a suspicious jingiing
sound followed. The auto commenc-
ed to do the Dutch roll, and crrt fig-
ure 8's in the roadway. Artnur' Curr
was riding his wheel along the street
and the auto. which hurl become un~
manageable, proceeded to chase him
around the street. He was finally com-
pelled to ride down the bank and al-
most into the river. He managed to
escape both, however, by being dex-
terous. The auto then started in an-
other direction and finally went with a
crash against the stone wall inside the.
sidewalk. it was towed away and it
is estimated that it will cost two or
three hundred dollars to repair the
machine. Neither Mr. Maples or the
Chauffeur was injured in the accident.

ST. LOUIS, July 9.—Chief Judge Al-

Court of Appeals. was nominated about
fifteen minutes to six o'clock this morn
ing for President of the United States
by the Democratic National Convert
tion. But one roll call ensued and so
decisive was the result of that one that
contrary states began to call for rec-
rgnliiou and the ballot finally resulted
In a unanimous vote for the New York
date. The scene was dramatic in
the extreme. Darkness had witness

hosts. while broad daylight—tire sun
paling the electric light, witnessed the
tlose.
The convention was In session from

right names were presented to the

ind as dawn approached it became no.

received the third great ovation ac-

Hat Makers Have No Dcllra to In-
crease Wagon at Coat of Othon.

There has been some slight misun-
derstanding in regard to the situation
.rrlsing over the differences between
the hat finishers and the manufactur-
ers and in the Sentinel's story yester-
lay the inference was drawn that
care urnerence existed between the
lnlshers and curlers and the makers,
rod that the demands of the makers
would prove in a measure derogatory
‘o the interests of the curlers and fin-
shers. This is denied by the makers.

When the demand of the hat makers
was made, It was sanctioned by the
National organisation and the bills of
the finishers and curlers had been
sanctioned by the executive board and
agreed to by the finishers and the curl-
ers as well as by the manufacturers
and was signed by both parties.

The makers state that it would be
far from their thoughts to increase
their wages at the cost of any of their
fellow workers. They have been for
several days ascertaining the different
bills of prices in nearby districts and
find that the wages compare very simi-
liarly with those in vogue and pro-
posed here by the workers.

Colonel Schultao is reported as hav

men in the band must be there in per-
son. When the band held a meeting
some time ago eighteen members voted
to go to Manassas. It was said that
some of the older members would not
go as they did not think they could
stand the trip. Scott Snow, the baud
master, would not Insist upon the older
members going. and here Is where the

Members of the band say that
trumpsters in the regiment semi sub
