.(

One of the results of the visit of
the large delegation of prominent rail-
road officials to South Norwalk and
Wilson Point. yesterday afternoon.
may be the abolishing and demolition
of the round house at Wilson Point.
and the erection of a new one In
South Norwalk. This” was one of
several plans considered at‘the con-
ference of the officials.

The present brick structure at Wil.
son Point. which can accommodate
eight locomotives, was erected a num-
ber of years ago, the old one In South
Norwaik being torn down at that
time. The Wilson Point round house
is said to have cost upward of 840.-
000. but a new one could be built
in South Norwalk for half‘ that sum.
There was an immense amount of
grading and excavating to be done at
the Point.

The officials made careful measure-
ments of all the property owned by
the company at. Wilson Point, and it
is evident large enterprises are con-
templated there in the near future.
It will probably become one of the
most important coal transfer centers
in the state, and with the Immense
new dock and other facilities great
quantities of other merchandise can
be received by boat and transferred
by train to their inland destination.

.lEmployed in the Ilepair De-
partment of the Consolidated
Railroad; instantly Killed
While Ascending a Pole Yes-
lesday Afternoon

 

Charles if. Wilson, of Danhury, was
electrocuted at the South Norwalk
freight yard. yesterday afternoon,
death doubtless coming instantly af-
ter contact with a live wire. .

Mr. Wilson was an employe of the
stove and chimney repair gang of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company. under the charge

a of. Foreman James Coyle. '

The men had come to South Nor-
waik to fix various matters and get
the heating apparatus and chimneys
in condition for the winter. (in the
north end of the freight house in
South Norwalk it was proposed to
place a new galvanized iron chimney.

Close to the building stands a tele
graph pole. and it is convenient to
climb up the pole and step over onto
the roof of the freight house. The
pole is equipped with iron spikes the
entire length, making it as easy to
ascend or descend as 'a ladder. and the
workmen probably thought it would
save them the trouble of raising a
ladder alongside the freight house.

Mr. Wilson made the climb up the
pole all right. and as he neared the
top had one hand on an iron spike.
while with the other he caught hold
of a live wire of the Connecticut Rail-
way and Lighting Company.

in an instant a short circuit was
formed, and the man's body was en~
veloped in a blue flame and smoke.
Without a sound and in scarcely less
time than it takes to relate it the
unfortunate man dropped to the

St. lamss' on Strawberry Hill
Successfully Worked by two
liloii. Yesterday, and Alisa
Clifford Lost Two Pocket-
books and a Gold Watch

 

 

A bold and daring robbery was com-
mitted almost at midday yesterday, at
St. James‘ Slimmer Home for Chil-
dren. on Strawberry Hill. Two men.
confederates. did the work, and, while
one engaged the hired help in the
kitchen in conversation. the other
ransacked theer of the matron.
Miss Clifford, on the second floor and
secured two pocketbooks containing a
solid gold watch and chain. the prop-
erty of the matron.

The robbery had been deliberately
planned and was very skilfully car~
i'Ied out. For several days linemen

consequently. when. yesterday morn.-

heavy black mustache. appeared at
the kitchen about noon. the help were
not surprised.

"Too bad that young fellow's sick.
ain't It?" the fellow queried. refer-
ring to the illness of one of the boys
with diphtheria." Mrs. Olcott, who
was at work in the kitchen at the
time. asked the follow if he would
have some lunch. "Oh. no." he an-
swered. "l usiialiy go downtown and
get a glass of beer and liltililWlf’ll for
dinner." The fellow loitercd around
the place a fw minutes more and
then went. away.

Mrs. Olcott was busy with the din-
ucr and thought no more of the oc-
currence until Miss Clifford, the mat-
ron. returned from a visit to bet
room. She had gone upstairs to get
change for a dollar for one of the
boys at the Home. To her great sur-
prise she was unable to had either of
her pocketbooks. (in searching fur-
ther silo found that the bureau draw-
ers haul liccn ransacked. the bed was
In a slate of confusion and her gold
watch had disappeared. Then it oc-
currcd to her like a flash that the fel<
low at the kilchcn door had been in
league with another man who had
committed the theft.

The thief. it is believed. Iiad enter-
ed Miss Clifford's room by means of
the fire escape. by first going Into the
room adjouriiing hers. The door oi
Miss Clifford's room was locked, the
i-lilllit' as when she left it. Dr. J. fl.
Gregory, who was called in to attend
the sick boy. is of the opinion that
the thief picked the look. In his
hurry, thc house-breaker left a “lull-
ber of valuable articles, including a
pin ironi Paris. a handsome iliaiiiond
pin from Rome. both belonging to
Miss Clifford.

The loss of the watch is it great
blow to the matron. us it was a gift
from a dear friend. She has had it
in her possession twenty years. It
was of solid gold. Wllh engraved plate
on which were the letters "M. R, C.‘

The man who appeared at the hitch.
en is described by Mrs. ("coil as oi
medium height. heavy black mus-
tache, with large. showy tooth. iic
wore a faded blue shirt, months, and
a cap with a peak. The police oi
Norwaik and South Norwslk haVo
burnt notified and every effort will be
made to apprehend the robbers.

Miss Clifford Ia rejoicinguwor the
fact that the money which she ac-
i‘lli'llh for checks cashed every month
by Selectman Device was not In the
house at the time of the robbery. v She
is accustomed each month to have

for a few days until the various bills
are paid. Mimi Olldord asscrls that
the nest thieves that visit the place
will find very little to lay their hands

on.

Stole Twenty-Three Cools from.
Wood Street Woman. and
Police Who Wore, Promptly
Notified by Telephone Did
Not Catch Guilty Party

The mysterious barefooted burglar
again has made his appearance and
this time Wood street was the scene

of his depredations. Fortunately he
did not; secure but twenty-three cents
and It is not probable that he will
feel well enough rewarded to retire
from business. ,

At about 2 o'clock this morning the
telephone bell at police headquarters
commenced to ring madly and Ca -
tain Pennington answered the cal.
Contractor Salvator Chariott was at
the other end with the news of I
burglary.

The trouble took place in a double
house In Wood street. On one side of
the hall lives Mrs. Rosie Diem and
on the other side Mrs. Lucy Charlott.
They had been awakened during the
night by mysterious noises about the
house and Mrs. DisCsa saw a. man
clad in a night robe and moving about
the room. She retained her presence
of mind and made no alarm until the
man went out. Then she notified Mr.
Chariott and he informed the police.

Captain Pennington and Ollcer Hall
went to the scene. There were about
a dozen men sleeping out in the yard.
as has been their custom since the
hot weather commenced. The woman
who had given the alarm was pretty
sure one of them was the man that.
she saw. hilt upon close inspection
found that his hair was cut in a dif-
ferent manner. .

Owing to her Inability to make is
positive identification, no arrests man

made. bill the police are , fyvesti-
gating the case and it is? , i, that
the twenty-thrust cant-bu " ‘_ he
brought to book. "I , .
