John anti Mary McCoy, who have been blind since infancy, gave a very fine mltsical anti humorous entertain- meltt last evening at Lot: kwuod' a Hall to a good sized and appreciative att- dlence. which was very hearty and generous with its applause. The degree of skill shown by these afflicted artists was really wonderful and it seemed at times to be Impossi- ble that they could be blind. Both are fine piano players and this was de monstrated by the first number of the program which was a duet. In addition to being accomplished in- strumentallsts. both have excellent voices, Miss McCoy gave forth clear and sweet soprano tones, while her brother has a rich baritone voice. to be tramps. With motive unknown, and apparently without provocation, the trumpet seized 1.. J Cummings. of 54 West Street, New Haven, a brake- man on Extra Freight No, 552, and buried him from the moving train. Cummings, in an effort to grasp the side of the coal car, from which he was thrown. felt in such a. manner that. the train passed over one of his hands. The bones were crushed and some of the fingers were cut off. He was terri- bly bruised by the stone ballast and his back was so badly hurt that he .was unable to move. There were in- dications of internal injuries. James T. Stone, 17 years old, of Chi- cage and Frank Smith, 17, of Spring- field, Mass, were found hiding on the train subsequently. and were placed under arrest here. They are held pending further investigation of the crime. Both boys profess innocence. Srakemsn's Cummings Story. The freight was bound west, and was in charge of Conductor Frank Flannagan . Cummings was stationed near the middle of the train. Between Darleu and Noroton Heights, there was trouble with the air, and the train was stopped. Cummings got down and an examination of the air brakes When the train started again, he caught a low Coal car. The braket'nau tells two stories of what followed. One version -Is that he saw two young fellows in the chr as he climbed aboard. “What are you doing here" he ask- pd. “We’ll soon show you," wastbe re- ply. The young fellows attacked Cum- mings, and. after a brief struggle hurl- ed himfxtom‘ the moving train. The other version Is that there was but one assailant, a tail fellow with a Sandy moustache. Crioe Heard by Train'a Crew. That the brakcman was not killed was a piece of good fortune, He tlid not lost consciousness, and his cries for help attracted the attention of the train crew. The frieght was brought .to a standstill a hundred yards or more beyond the scene of the murder- ous assault, and the traintnen gather- ed about their comrade. When they loomed the manner in. which Cum- mings was hurt, the indignation of the crew was great. Had they laid hands on the assailants, it would have gone' . hard with them. Stone and Smith Seen. When the freight arrived In Stam- ford, it was held up at Elm Street and. searched by the crew and Stamford tralnmen. Policemen Keneflc and Mc- Mahon arrived at the.place as the search was completed. The searchers found no one aboard, and the train shortly afterwards pulled, down as far as the station, preparatory to backing into the frleght yard. As the train passed the station, Nightbaggagemam ter Foley saw Stone and Smith, and notified Nightbaggagemaater Ryan ,who 15 special policemen.

He has never com- municated with his parents nor heard from them in any way since that time . . His father was s. baker, he said, and lived at that time at: 14 or 16 Rosebud Street, Chicago.

The federal government paid the militia- men forty three cents per day, and the state proposes to deduct this amount from the $1. so usually paid for sen vices.

Pinhilli lien Crusade [in Planning I or a Vigorous Bamaaign in the Norwalits this fall. when the license Question Is to Be Voted 0n —-——Saieens' en the Bridge It is stated on good authority that the Prohibitionists of the town are planning to make one of the most vigorous crusades locally against the liquor traffic that has been seen here for years. The meetings that have been held lately and the recent Fair- tielti county convention at. Norwalk have created an unusual interest in the liquor question and the Prohibition leaders are planning to take advantage of evory gain tiny have made so fat. and conduit a vigotous campaign this full 'lhe leader of the Prohibition move- ment Is A. M. Sitetwood, of East Nor— walk. who is working indefatigably for the cause of temperance, and. he is seconded by a number (11' Well known men from all sections of the town. The saloon keepers. it is stated. have been watching with a good deal or interest the recent movements of the abstztincrs and ate planning to meet them half way. One well known It- quor man is authority for the state~ meat that it would cost the salobn keepers $1, 000 this year if the liquor attention should be voted upon. This same gentleman recalled the agitation that was exhibited ten years ago when the saloon keopcts worked ltatd fot license, even distributing pamphlets thtoughout the town telling the voters of the immense that would be made in the taxes in case no license was voted. These (i'll‘tulflm evidently had some effect, as the town that year went in favor of license by a small majority. Norwalk regularly votes for license. while East Norwalk and South Nor- walk often go no license. The. Pro lIibitlonists therefore are doing tbeit hardest work in Norwalk. Recently a canvass was made of the entire town and the names of all the persons who would possibly vote for no license this fall were mounted. The list it is said, was found to be considerably larger than in former years quI the Prohibitionlsts are encouraged in the outlook ior this full. III support of their views they bring out the fact that on the Washington street bridge. within a radius of less titan 100 yards. there are eleven saloons.
