Some of lhem

Recent developments have demon-
strated that trading stamps have a
value other than that fixed by pur—
chasers in the regular line of business.
, A few weeks since. one ofthe larg-
est stamp companies in the city of
New York received at its main office
a large Invoice of stamps. running into
the thousands. and a proper record
was duly made of the same.

A few days later. however, the oill~
clals indentitled with the company, in
making an inventory of their stamp
supply, discovered that several large
packages had been surreptitiously re-
moved. Their accountants were
promptly notified to estimate the num-
ber of stamps missing and to their
surprise is was found that more than
seventy thousand dollars worth had
been stolen.

Several days elapsed and nothing
was heard from them directly or Indi-
rectly, but suddenly a small merchant
in the state of New Jersey was called
upon to redeem a book of stamps.
which took the form of the award of
valuable silver, be, liy some myster~
ious agency thought to examine the
book and was at once impressed with
the exceptional cleanliness of the
Stamps, (5 book loaves not having
been in an wise marred by attaching
them to the pages. showing that great
care had been exercised and that the
work had been done almost at a slit-

118.

This merchant thought over the
matter several days and then made
some inquiries concerning another
town where these stamps were given
and in his surprise he learned that
three hooks in as good condition as
his own had been redeemed the day
following his experience.

The New York office of the concern
was irnlnediatelv notified and this in-
formation proved to be just the clue
the corporation had been looking for.
They a once set their slcuihs upon
the trail of these stampdhieves and
discovered that redemptions represent
ing hundreds of dollars had been per-
fected against the unsuspecting coun-
try merchants.

Suddenly they lost their clue and
two weeks elapsed before the, stamp
thieves-renewed their operations. This
time in New Rochelle. They later
visited Mount Vernon, than South Nor-
walk, Conn, and on’Tliursday last
were in Port Chester, where they
made a first. rate haul.

This storr could lie enlarged upon
but it would be unwise to do so just a‘
this tithe; the officials in all towns
of the New England States have been
notified and a general alarm sent out.
Important developments are certain
to follow, /

The operators who redeemed the
new stamps in Port Chester are de-
scribed as two women, both dressed
in black, of comely features and very
attractive personalities. When these
women appeared at South Norwalk
they were very stylishly dressed.

of errors and playing slow ball; never-

made. The attendance was not as
large as on previous Saturdays, owing

Awning in a iiiaze
Calls Out firemen

*—

LOu in Front of'tiia Norwaik Office of
the Connecticut Railway and
' Lighting Company.

A blazing awning in frolit of the Nor
walk office of the Connecticut Railway
and Lighting Company. at the mum
of Wall and Knight. streets. mused a
little excitement last night at 9 o'clock.
An alarm was sent in from box 15 at
the corner of Wall and Main streets
by William J. Powell, calling out the
Norwalk Fire Department. but the lat.
ter‘s services were not needed. as the
fire had been sqncliched by an lm
proniptll department formed at the
Wall street car barn.

The awing was discovered to be on
fire by Night Watchmann George T.
Rose. who got out. the barn fire hose
and with the assistance of Frederick
W. F. Andrews. Henry N. Rider and
other trolleymen. a stream was quick-
ly playing on the awning, which threat-
ened to do considerable damage.

The origin of the blaze is unknown.
but It is supposed that someone
thoughtlessly threw a lighted cigarette
on it. it was not believer] that the
trouble had been caused by bare elec-
tric wires.

Among the other trolleymen who
assisted in putting out the the WOW
Waldo A. Raymond, who presided at
the hydrant, and "Jack" Frost, llirun

of the Norwalk City Council, a whole
new board of three assessors was
chosen. The new board is composed
if Charles E, Curtis, Goold S. Hoyt
liltl Charles A. liurr. 'l‘hcso gentle—
man succeed William Mitchell, tItK‘OllS-
ed, Samuel L, Weed, whose resigna-
.lon was received and accepted last
wealth; and William H. Byihgloli.

whose term of office expires this year.

There was very little business of
.mportahce transacted at .the meet-
llg. Mayor Ferdinand B. Smith pre-
sided and the city fathers in their
:llillrs included Wesley M. Niblock.
David F. Gould, William F. Lockwood
iiid Willialll M. Belts. After the read—
.ng of the minutes by City Clerk .i.
delden Hurlbutt, the bills of the var~

 

 

lous city departments were ordered

The highway committee I't‘pUl'lClI
that a very satisfactory job had been
vomplctcd on Loomls street and High-
land avenue, which had been over-
hauled after requests from I'ISIIIGIIIS
(or the past nine years or more. The
roudbed had been turnpikcd and girl-
lercd and several feet of sewer pipe
laid, the whole job costing but ”40.90.

A lady owning a UlllllllllM lot In

surance was given.

councilman Nibloek complained of
the condition of tilt? lioul'd covering Ul
lie lIivcl‘ street tunnel. The highway
.-olliliiittee will look the tunnel ovu
.iid report to the railroad company.

The selection of new usslssors was
,lloccedcd to after the resignation of
illmucl L. Wei-ll was accepted. Mr.
.Vccd's duties are so manllold that
.c is now unable to attend to the du-

it's of assessor. The names of Charles
3. Curtis, Goold S. lloyt and Charles
\. Burr were'placed in nomination
Nile hrst bullet was taken for a suc-
essor to Williarh ii. liyingioh. lol- if
erin of three years. Charles E. Cur-
ls received three votes, Mr. llyingtoli
inc and the mayor declarai Mr. Curtis
elected.

The second'baliot was to cl -t on
assessor to serve out the line Iiil't'il
arm of Mr. Mitchell, one year. Goold
S. Hoyt received four votes and was
lecial'od elected.

The third ballot was to complete the
net two years of Mr. Wood's term and

‘liilrles A. Burr received four miles.

Through all el'l'or persuasion had
been given to the Norwalk Historical
.ifir'lely to erect the tablet at the foot,

I ’i‘ryon's Hill in East avenue. 'l‘lie
equeet was made by the Daughters
J the American Revolution amt last
night's session voted to make the cor-
eclloll.

Councilman Nibiock had a petition
which he forgot to bring up until after
an adjournment was falcon and conse-
chntly the matter had to lie over uh-
.il the next session. The petition was
from the employees of the polite and
fire departments, who desired tha-
hcy receive their salaries on the first
ind fifteenth,“ each month, as is the
custom in South Norwalk.

No action was tak but apparently
it was the sense of t c discussion that
.his would be impracticable. as by law
tile council‘s regular meeting must be
held on the first Monday of the month
and the council at this session and at
the adjourned meeting held on the
.bird Monday night of the month pays
all bills. *

It is not likely that the city clerk
would care to take the responsibility
of drawing the orders before author-
.zed by the council.

 

JUANITA OUTING CLUB BANQUET.

The Juanita Outing Club held its reg-
ular monthly meeting last. evening at
