lio/malk and New Canaan
Capital Interested in the Pro-
ject, and Hearing on the lip-
plicationtor a Charter WIII
‘ be Held April 4 in Hartford

 

I A trolley road “on the hill." and
through to New Canaan and Ridge-
field from Norwalk. Capital in the
.three communities will owuit. and it
will be built immediately-if the leg-
iflature will grant a charter.
. The men who are back of the pro-
posed road are solid mcn financially,
and when they put their shoulders to
the wheel, something will doubtless
result. Among them for instance are
William Wurdwell, of New Canaan;
Eben Hill, of Norwalk. and half a
dozen other wealthy men of Norwalk
and New Canaan. One New Canaan
man alone has offered to subscribe for
320.000 worth of stock in the company
and a number of others have asked to
be allowed to buy stock.

One of the gentlemen who is deeply
interested in the road stated this
morning to a Sentinel reported: "The
road,will he built it we can secure the
charter. At least i50 prominent men
in New Canaan have signed a petition
to have the charter granted."

The proposed route of the road is
from Norwalk to the armory, over the
turnpike to Taylor avenue, down Tay-
lor to West street. down West street
to the foot of the hill, to Monroe street

and the railroad station. from the sta-
tion to New Canaan by the nearest
Eotliée, and from New Canaan to Ridge

8 _ i.

This scheme would satisfy the people
living "on the hill." who have wanted
trolleyservice. for years.“ but have. been
unable to getit. ‘

in speaking of the proposed road this
morning a gentleman who is familiar
with trolley matters said that there
was no question about its being a pay.-
ing proposition. and the building of
such a road would prove to be of ines-
timabie value to Norwaik and South
Norwalk. as well as to New Cannon
and Ridgci‘ield. it would give the tcrr-
dtory between here and New Canaan
a chance to build up and would open
up a very desirable notation for sum-
mer rcsiuenccs. it would be an ex-
cellent. thing for the merchants of
The Norwailts. it would help real es-
tate values in an isolated portion of
the town and would relieve the trolley
wants of a. portion of the community.
which has long needed trolley services

 

and which should have had them. Such
are the views held by men who are
willing and anxious to build.

The plan to secure a charter is to
1ippose the renewal of tho charters now,
held by the Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Company and [hour who uro'
pushing the. scheme are confident of
success. The hearing on the applica-
tion for a charter will be held by the
legislative committee on April 4.

The amount at which the proposedl
company would be capitalized has not
yet been decided, but those who are
back of the scheme. are woii provided
with the wherewithal to build as title a
trolley line as can be found in the
eastern states.

began with an attack of the grip.

Though he had the very best of mod.
lcai attention nothing appeared
able to stay the progress of his illness.
He. seemed to rally. but relief was only
temporary. and at many times his con»
dition was extremely grave.

ted by his many friends. who recogniz-
cd in him a man of the kinditest na-
ture. He is survived by one adopted
daughter, Mrs. Clarence E. Siuuson.

Mr. Burr was a veteran of the Civil
War. and was a member of Company
if. 28th Connecticut Volunteer infanv

Norwnlk men, though there are now
only about half a dozen of them left.

BLOCK lSLAND, March 20.—The
steamer Spartan, of the. Boston and
Philadelphia Steamship Company‘s
line, which ran aground on the east
side of the island yesterday morning
while on her way down the coast
from Providence to Philadelphia, was
subjected to such a fearful battering
during the night from a heavy north-
east. gale, that at dawn today the
chances of saving her seemed almost
hopeless. Captain Briggs and four of
his crew still remained on board. but
at the peril of thlcs lives.

When the Spartan plowed her Way
far up on the bench, about. half a mile
north of the southeast light at it o'clock
yesterday morning it looked as if she
might ultimately be iloa ed, provided
the weather ncld favorable and wreck-
ers arrived speedily.

Those on board Were greatly en-
couraged when the New London
Wrecking ficct arrived on the scene
just before sunset. last night, and
word was received that a larger fleet
was on the way from Boston. The tiny

ing.

The Spartan, however, had gone
ashore on the top of a high clause of
tides and rested on great boulders, sev.
era] of which had pierced her bottom
.llltI stove in a large hole in her for"
ward compartment and she lay in a
particularly exposed position. Night
brought on a change. A storm far out
to sea sent out in a long ground swell
which shortly after dark began to
pound against the port side of the Spur-
tan. Steam had been kept. all day. but
an hour after the. smell began the
bulk heads commenced to give way, and
just before the sea reached the fires.
illtIl‘ long whistles for assistance were
sounded, the last being scarcely more
than a gasp.

The New Sliorchum life savers, who
had been in the vicinity part of the
do). but who had gone back to their
station. once. more puiiml out around
the breakwater and rowed alongside
the vessel. Captain Briggs asked that
half his crow of twcntydwo men be to-
ken ashore, and eleven. including the
two quartcrinastcrs. were tukcn off by
the life savers. Captain Briggs, the
notes and engineers and several of the
deckhnnds remaining.

Scarccly had the life suvct‘s left. the
vessel when the wind hauled into the
northeast and begun VI) pick up in
force. By midnight it had increased to
a-Zti-knot breeze, and thrce hours later
it was mowing more than 25 milcs an
hour.

Iiy dawn today a severe northeast
storm prcyullcti and grout surges Wore
:huudering against the windward side
of the helpless vessel. shaking her
froiu keel to truck and hourly reducing
her chances for future service.

Those on board resolutely hcld to
their posts of danger. hoping that, the
storm might. subdue before their vessel
began to gIVe way. During the night
the sea made great havoc in her butt.
smashing in all the remaining bulk-
heads and breaking up the cargo.

Reallnn that his crew could be of III,-
Iic service on board, Capt. Bristls at
7 o‘clock this morning sent six more of
them ashore In one of tho Bpartun‘s
bouts, a landing being made with
great difficulty. Captain 'Brlggs with
his mates and two seamen remained on
board the steamer. and although an
effort was. made by many on shore to
Induce him to abandon his ship, at 8
i‘rlbck he was still firm In his deter-
mination not to lcuvo her. At this hour
the chances of floating her seemed
hopeless and even wrecking Master
Scott, of New London. admitted that
there appeared but little chance of sav-
ing the steamer. ,

TOWN HIGHfiCHOOL.

 

Difference of.OpinIon as to Site for
Proposed Structure.

A meeting of the joint high school
building committee and school board
will be held tomorrow night to'tnkc
act ion regarding a building site for the
proposed school. The present plan of
the committee is to select a site mid-

way between Norwalk amt South Nor-
w 'l‘wo pieces of property are un-
der consideration. One the ire. Colo
property at the rear of the armory. and
the other property recently purchased
by Raymond Brothers. in West avenue.

There In more or loss opposition to
both those proposed sites on the
"l‘tilillfI that the building should be to-
catod either at one end of the town or
the other. the argument being used
that with the school midway between
the cities neither would be served
Well and much inconvenience caused
in getting to and from the school.
Those who criticise the central site
are divided into the parties. one of
which dot-drew to have the high school
‘located in South Norwalk and the oth—
er desires to have it located in Nor-
walk. The opposition to the site on
the, Cole property. which seems to be
the first choice of the sub-committee
on site. is that it would be unwise to
piece a $90,000 building at the rear of
the armory. where it could not be
seen.

The. committee is very anxious to
find some site for the school so that
the matter may hs,broushf. before a
town meeting to let the necessary so-

ounf to about $100,000.

There is a disposition on the part
of some to believe that-the difference
in regard to fife location of the school
may be sufficient. to kill the appropria-
tion when the town meeting is called.

Party of Officials and Con-
tractors Look Overtho Sit-
uation of Baton Point—Grand
Stand to be Erected by Mr.
Bownd, of Bridgeport, and
Grading Done by Mr. Charioit

 

 

 

Tho contemplated improvements at
Roton Point, which have been delayed
for some time owing to the severity
of the weather, will, it is anticipated,
be under way this week. and the in-
tentlon now is to complete them, as
far as possible. before the first of May.

A special trolley went to the Point
yesterday, conveying Superintendent
A, V. Wainwright. of the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting Company. Cap-
tain Anniug .l. Smith. of Bridgeport,
one of the lessees of the Point; Con-
tractor Alfred Bowud. of Bridgeport:
Contractor Salvator Chartott, of South
Norwaik, and Hiram Sharron, the sup-
erintendent of outside work at. Roion.
At the Point also the party met Con-
tractOr Dudley E. Hoyt.

The proposed site for the baseball
diamond. grand stand. 010., was thor-
oughly gone over, and it was found
that to fill in the property, and bring it
up to the grade required would take
upward of 15,000 yards of stone and
earth, which will be secured from the
adjacent high ground. The diamond
will be located in the rear of the hotel
building. and just west of the trolley
station.

The pi'cscnt horse sheds, barn. etc.
will be removed to make way for the
ball ground.

The contract. for the filling and grad-
lng will probably Iiv awarded to Mr.
Churioli. who will start work this
work with a. large force of men and
“Wills.

The grand stand, which will seat five
hundred people. and the bleachers.
which will nccoimuotintc as funny
morc. wlli.be constructed by t‘ontruc-
tor liownd. The latter did a large
amount of work at the Point last
spring.

Several of the buildings will also be
repainted. the grove cleaned and grad-
cd where the winter's storms have.
washed away the earth. and everything
will be in fine condition for the for-
mal opening on Memorial Day. Tucs-
day, May 301h.

Matthew Corbett. one of the most

enthusiastic and regular attcndanls of
the baseball games. will give. a box
of Old Well Perfeclo lilc cigars to the
boom payer who makes the first home.
run on the new baseball park at Roton
Point. this summer. it. is understood
that Frank Lauder will offer a diamond
stick pin to the one accomplishing the
same trick. The reason Mr. Lauder
to so libcrul is liccause he is sure his
brother George will be the winner.
Manager Nash has just sent. in an
order for coats for the’ new uniforms.
They are to be mamon color. with light
trimmings and large pearl buttons.

Disorderly and Disroputabfo
Gang invaded Springwood,
But Worked ‘Peopis Too
Sirenuously '-

The most. disorderly. disreputable,
and annoying gang of hoboes that
Spriugwood has been afflicted with for
some time struck there yesterday, and
started in to have a mixed ale party
in the rear of some buildings. There
were about a dozen in the gang and
they were typical panhandlers. Therel
were “stiff arm men," “sore arm men."'
fake purulytics. artilstic
beggars and novices. They invaded
Springwood in a sympathetic manner
and canvassed the streets and houses
for aims. in some cases they became
very insulting when refused. A deio-
gation went up Railroad place and
pandled there. '

Several complaints were made to
the police and Captain l’cmtlngton.I
with several special officers went int
search of the hobocs, He succeeded I'llt
bagging three of the gang. after which
the others fled the. town.

The. men arrested gave their names
as John Mark, of Bridgeport. residing
at "Mus. Farrell's boarding house over
Morriscy's grocery store;" James Hart,
of 134 Water street. New Haven. and
John Harrison, formerly of Waterbury,
but recently of Bridgeport. They were
a disreputable looking trio and all
three were hopelessly drunk.

This morning in court. Hart claimed

to have been working on the. railroad
bridge at Westport for a couple of
months past. I ‘

Mack came here from Bridgeport.
looking for a job in “Jones Livery
Stable, back of the Mahackcmo Ho-
tel.“ He had been told of the. vacancy
there by James Higgins. who left. the
job last week.

.lolm Harrison came here from
llridgeport coking for work. All three
admitted having been arrested several
timcs_ and Judge Taylor sent them all
to Bridgeport for twenty days in ad-
dition to which they will work out the
costs of the cases.

James Ryan, who was gathered in
Saturday night on a charge of drunk-
enness. was very ponitent this morning
and the mart discharged him, thinking
that he had been sufficiently punished
for his misdemeanor.

an‘ockrou. Mass, March 20.——A

boiler “labile big shoe factory of R. B. '

Grover & Company. at Campello. the
southern section of this city, exploded
today, bringing ruin to the factory and
other nearby property and death to
many operatives. The city fire mar-
shal, four hours after the explosion
occurred, estimated the list of dead at
50, and it was believed by the police
and those at work at the ruins that as
many more had sustained injuries. in
all, eight buildings were burned, in-
cluding the factory, a business block
and an old hotel building occupied by
stores and tenements and the financial
loss is estimated at 3200.000.

The greatest. difficulty was experien-

ber of dead and injured. owing to the
fact that an ell in the factory in which
some 200 hands were at work was at-
most completely wrecked and many
of the men and women had no chance
to escape. being carried down in the
collapse of the structure which im-
mediately caught fire. Up to 1 o'clock
thirteen bodies had been removed. all
of them burned so badly as to make

framework of house was found in the
debris.
