Were. run over, necessitating amputa-
tion later at the Bridgeport hospital.
He claims that the platform.to the
car from which. he fell had been left
unprotected by the gateway which
was open and that the conductor did
not warn him the train had not arrived
at the station. ’
Mr. Hoyt on the witness stand said
the stump'of his leg had never healed
and he was unable to wear an artificial
limb or do any work. He said he was
in the hospital six months and four-
teen uays from his injuries.

OUT .AT LOW TIDE
Oyster Boat . Howard , Lowndos
Sank Near Books of Bridpo-
port Boiler Company
The oyster steamer Howard
Downdes. of South Nor-walk. is sunk
in the Pequonnock River. near the
dock of the Bridgeport Boiler Com-
pany. where it became imbedded in
the mud.Wedneaday evening. and sub-
merged as the tide rose and. filled the
hull with water. At low tide today
an effort will be made to pump the
steamer out by the powerful pumps
on the tug Stephen Babclck. which
was unsuccessful in pulling the steam.
or of! the mud yesterday.
The Lowndes was taken to the Boli-
er Company’s dock Wednesday to have
repairs made to the boiler. The bow
became caught beneath the dock and
imbedded the hull fry the mud to such
an extent that it could not be extri-
cated. The tug Babcick endeavored
to float the steamer but without suc-.
cess. As the tide arose the water
crept up on the hull and finally reach-
ed the rails filling the hull and sink
ing the host.
it. is thought that at low this today
the water can be pumped out and the
boat floated. The crew were on
board at the time the boat sunk but
were hampered only slightly as the
steamer lies with the upper deck out
of water on the mud bank even at the
flood tide.

New Lease of Life For Naval
and Military Institution, and
it will Hereafter Be Known
as the Overlook Solleok Mil-
itary Academy
it is now definitely decided that the
Overlook Military School will remove
to Norwalk from Nyack. New York.
and in anticipation of their taking pos-
session of the Selieck School premises
in East avenue. the buildings are be
ing given a thorough overhauling.
The institution will undoubtedly be
a most desirable acquisition as It is In
a flourishing condition and the pros-
pects are that it will immediately be-
gin the most prosperous era in Its ca-
reer. '
A number of contracts for work on
the buildings have been given out and
they will be given a renovation inside
and out and placed in as perfect a con-
dition as possible for the school, which
will open its fall term here. it will
be conducted on strictly military lines
and it is expected that at the outset
there will be at least a hundred pupils.
the most of whom will board there.
‘ The institution has two competent
principals of the highest reputation
and a fine corps of professors. it. is
well founded financially and has a
board of trustees on which are a
number of prominet men.
The agreement with the Rev. Char-
les M. Seiieck, owner of the East av‘e-
nue school buildings and grounds. has
all been competed and the time of
.he removal is only a question of how
long It will take to complete the work
of painting, repainting, etc.
The principals were very much
pleased with Norwaik for their pur-
poses from their first visit and are
enthusiastic in their belief that they
coming. ,

stitution of learning. known for to-
ward a half century as The Selleck
School. was opened In this town, May

look. a native of Norwalk. had. for
severab . min. conducted a
private establishment on the upper
Hudson which. however, so outgrew
‘ts h‘lrst street. Troy, N. Y., quarters
that the principal felt compelled to
look cisewlipro for a plant locality and
early in the year 1855 resolved upon
lie academic reconstruction of the Sel-
'erk Rust avenue building and acre-
age. property in Norwalk. When this
became known the people of Troy sent
3 delegation to the principal, offering
elm one of the most advantageous
homes and home lots in their city. or.
should he prefer, a very delightful and
desirable structure and situation on
‘he Albany rnud. midway between
Troy and Albany. The Runner-leer
Polytechnic Institute Corporation also,
at the same time. proposed to inau-
gurate ll new department providing
Mr Selleck would consent to remain
and superlntend the section, Imt as
work had already been inaugurated in
Connecticut the Tray teacher consid
ered himself obligated to forward the
Nor-walk project. the school at which
place anon became an influentiaiity.
For many years it. numbered around a
hundred pupils, gathered from every
portion of the United States and not a
few from abroad. Prominent. North-
ern and Southern army officials. wide-
ly known professional men and the
heaviest merchants in the East. South
and West helped to commas its large
patron constituency and its good for
tone was phenomenal. its scrupulous
ly appointed study. recitation, assem-
bly. amusement. dining. dormitory,

modatlons, its gymnasium and bowl-
ing room. Its extensive ball, croquet
and pleasure grounds. Its sanitary or
reliance and its perfect sewerage com-
bined to make It on Ideal seminary
seat. while its faculty weight gave to
it a name.
The ancient New England towu in
which the Sellecit enterprise took root
is an interesting place historically and

sentative citizens as Stephen Whitney,

William Anderson. of Winnipauk.
the well-known saloon keeper. had a
narrow escape from death shortly af~

was. exercising a very spirited horse,
attached to a two-wheeled exercising
cart, when the animal. becoming
frightened at something, bolted and
Mr. Anderson lost control.
The horse fell and Mr. Anderson
was thrown into the roadway and the
cart on top of him. The horse started
to kick and had it not been for the
immediate efforts of Albert Reynolds
and Eugene Gohler, who happened to
be present, Mr. Anderson might prob-
ably have been seriously injurd.
They extricated the driver from the
wreck and found that he was not hurt.
The horse was quite badly out, how-
ever and will be useless for some days.
Mr. Anderson and those who saw the
accident are at a loss to understand

Peter Lawless, a Blacksmith"
from New Haven. Woks lip
in a Serious Piipiil in a lions
Shed in Mechanic Street,
Wednesday Morning
Peter Lawless, a New Haven biaok~
smith, awoke in a horse shed in Me-
chanic street. South Norwalk‘, Wed-
nesday morning. and found himself in
a bad plight. He didn't. know whether
he had been struck by a cyclone or
had been assaulted. He knew cue
thing. however. and that he was suffer-
ing intense pain from some cause. He
managed to get to the office of Dr.
J. Milton Coburn In South Main street.
where the physician made an examin-
ation of the man's wounds and dres-
sed them. The doctor found a gaping
scalp wound. which should have had
care hours before. a broken armand
a fractured rib. Dr. Coburn realized
that the man was in no condition to
go traveling about with twenty-five -
cents in his pocket. the total amount
of his cash. and therefore sent. word
to Selectman James A. Brown.
It. was a question as to whether
Lawless should be sent to the Non
walk Hospital. or to his home. but
though he was suffering Intense pain
he decided to return to New Haven
if furnished with a ticket. This was
secured by Selectman Brown and the
man departed. ,
Lawless told Selectman Brown that
he resided at 171 George street. New
Haven, and was einpioyed at his trade
by a firm on the same thoroughfare.
in support of his claim. he produced
a Journeyman Horseshoers‘ Union
card, showing he had given his correct
name, that he belonged to local Unv
too No, 23, of New Haven. and had his
dues paid up to June lst next. ,
in explanation of his condition he
said that he started out. for New
York City the night previous but be.
fore he got out. of the Elm Olly he met
a number of friends. Consequently,
after several “smiles" her‘waalupable
to say just What occurred. though he
purchased a ticket for New York. in
some manner he got, off the train. at
South Nerwalk. He didn't remain ,r, "
how. He also had litany recollecti
of a man boarding the train it
Bridgeport and eyeing him continuous:
iy. Ho t ought. possibly the man also
left the rain at. Smith Norwalk and
clubbed him. Later he said something
about-a party of Hungarians assaults
Ing him. it was plain to the selectmen
that. Lawless didn't, remember much
of his night‘s experience. He said he
bad 34 or 86 when he started out. He
is an unmarried man and visa thought
to be about. 35 years of age.
Selectman Brown wrote to the pres-
ident of the Horse Shoers' Union and
that officer refunded the price of the ‘ .
ticket to New Haven.
