somewhat unusual occurrence. and

A few days ago Morris M. Norton.

after some repair matters there,

Mr. Norton draw to Rowayton, ln~
tending to do some work opposite the
echoed house in Rowayton avenue. The
animal was left. standing by the side
of the road. but suddenly took it into
his head to see what there was. at
the other end of the street. The
horse started off, amt Mr. Norton
made an attempt to catch hold of the
reins. He. was unable to do so, and
was thrown to one side and quilt-
to horse dashed madly tip the
street, turned the corner near the new
Baptist Church. and ctmtinued toward
the depots. Instead of going under
the bridge the horse turned up Rail-

Pleasure Party on the Launch
Norntandie Was Run Down
by a Tramp Steamship in the
Hudson River. Late Last
Night A
NEW YORK, Jilly 12.——lt is believed
that three and possibly four lives were
lost last night when the. steam launch
Norlnandie was sunk in collision near‘
Dobb’s Ferry, with a vessel supposed
to have been a trump steamship in
the Hudson River.
Those who are believed to have. been
lost are Captain Storm and Engineer
Brady, of the launch Normandle, and
Miss Gladys Dodge, of this city. J.
Green, of New lurk, also is missing.
The launch Normandle was owned
by C. W. Dutnont, of New York, but
had been chartered by him to John
A, Rudd. of Gienwood.
Mr. Rtidd was on board the launch
at the time of the collision and ti
was from him that the police, of You-
kers received the meagre information
regarding the disaster which they have
been able to obtain up to this time.
Rudd called up the police station at
Yonkers on the telephone early today
and gaVe a brief account of the dis—
aster. He appeared to be greatly ex-
cited at the. time, the, DOiit‘t- said, and
was unable to give the name. of the
young woman who lost her lite. Iier
identity was established later from an-
,other source. Rudd said that he and
Joseph lintitilgan. of Yonkers, boarded
the Normandtc at Ulenwood early yes-
treday with Captain Storm and Engin-
eer lirndy. They came otter to New
York, where they took aboard J.
Green. of New York, and the young
woman. and started for Peekakili. The
launch was on its way back to New
York when it was run down. He said
there was an explosion immediately
after the steamship struck the launch
and that it is possible that those who
lost their lives ware injured so so—
verely that they were unable to help
themselves.
