FRIEDENRANG ANTIQUE
FRESCU COMPANY PLANS
Concern Incorporated Under
the State Laws of New York
Will Item Michael An-
pelo’s Lost. Art
bun-”q
The Il‘rlctlmolfntmuti‘FfOSW'Utilit-
pany is the name of a new corporation
which has just been formed to place
the rediscovery of Michael Angelo‘a
suposellly lost art of antique fresco by
Maxmilian F‘. Friederang on a com-
mcrcial working business. Mr. Fried-
crang. who is well known to the peo-
ple of The Norwalks as the head of
the work of redecorating St. Mary‘s
Church in the wonderful process, re-
ceived the papers of incorporation
yesterday at the Hotel NOI‘WRIIL.
where he has been residing for the
past. few weeks.
Mr. Friederang went to New York
this morning on business connected
with the new firm, but will return lai-
or In the week to complete some do-
talls at St. Mary's Church. This will
take but a day or two and after finish-
ing this work will leave town again to
take up the management of the new
undertaking.
The Friederang Antique Fresco
Company is incorporated under the
laws of the State of New York and
has a capitalization of $100,000. All
stock has been signed for and officers
will be opened In New York.
The list of oflicers and directors of
the new corporation contains the
names of some of the best-known Rom-
an Catholic citizens of New York and
Brooklyn. Mr. Friederang. In addition
to being vice-president of the com-
pany. will be the general manager.
having entire charge of its affairs.
The many people of The Norwalks.
including the members of St. Mary's
parish. who viewed with much interest
the progress of 'the wonderful decora-
tivo work at St. Mary's Church, will
be pleased to learn of the success Mr.
Friedorang has attained in the forma-
tion of his company.
An idea of the prestige the new firm
has already gained from the statement
of the fact that the firm will immedv
lately start the decoration of four
churches. Two of these edifices are
in Brooklyn, one in New York city and
the fluinth in i’liluburg.
To complete one of the churches in
Brooklyn will require the services of
at least fifty men for one year, but. as
there will be no plaster to lay. the
process of applying the antique fresco
does not. represent as many difficul-
ties as in the work at St. Mary's. Nor-
walk.
The redecoratlon of St. Mary's was
done under the firm name of Frieder-
sag and handed. but the latter has
no connection whatever with me new
corporation. Mr. landolt is again In
the designing and engraving business
and has become connected with the
Sterling Engraving Company. New
York city.

onel Edward Schullze
NiANTlC. July 31.——-The First in-
fantry. Connecticut National Guard.
went into camp here today for a
week‘s tour of duty under command
of Colonel Edward Schulse..of Hart-
ford. it is the first time in two years
that Connecticut troops have been at
the state camp as the whole brigade
went. last. year to Manassas, This
year‘s encampment. however. differs
radically from previous ones in that it
is a regimental instead of a brigade
affair and under the new National
Guard regulations. which went into
effect last fall. the character of the
drill duty is changed. Formerly when
all the Connecticut regiments went in.
to camp together as a brigade, much
time was spent in parades and brigade
formation wprk. spectacular for the
visitors. but not so valuable to the
men. it is believed. as the single regi-
ment drill. it was to test the value
of regimental drill. that it was decid-
ed to allow each of the three state
regiments to spend a week alone in
calup. paying particular attention to
work under the new regulations. The
plan is considered more business-like
than the old one. and likely also to
mean more work for the soldier.
Most of the baggage of the compan-
ies arrived last night. having been sent
forward with the officers' horses yes-
terday, with a guard detail under com-
mand of Quartermaster. J. R. Davis.
so that is could be unloaded and ready
for use on the arrival of the regiment.
Two trains were required to transport
the regiment. The first of seven cars
carried the Hartford companies. while
the other had Company C. of Rock-
ville: D of Bristol: E and l of New
Britain: G of South Manchester. and
L of Willimantic and M of Winsted.
The companies reached the camp
before 10 o'clock and been time found
the camp fast assuming the appear-
ance of order which it will present
through the week. It was expected
that the putting up of tents. laying out
of streets. and attention to general
camp equipment would take up most
of the time of the day.

at the state fish hatchery during Satur»

were lost, The heavy showers of that
evening caused the water in the pools
to rise until the strain proved too
much on the wall of the lowest ones
of the. series. , The break was discover-
ed at daybreak yesleuday and L700
breeding trout were found slrandcd
on the sand. Of this number about

other pool. The fish lost wr-rc expco

were. about three pounds in weight
and were a healthy iol. There are

but about half the number arc. year-

ago. as there are about three hundred
thousand brook trout and rainbow
trout flugerlinga In the pools which
will be distributed throughout the
state this fall. Had the flmd swept
away other pools the loss would have
been considerably more than can be
placed by actual money figures. in the

trout fry which have been hatched
from eggs received from Wisconsin.
and several thousand lake salmon fry

take care of themselves. The shad
will be placed In the Connecticut riv-

Auditorium—Talent Was Lar-
psiy from South Norwalk
About 400 people gathered at the Ro-
ton Point Auditorium, Saturday even-
ing, to witness a minstrel perform-
ance, given for the benefit of the Built
island improvement Society. Nearly
all those on the stage were from The
Norwalks. and but one Belle [slander
had any active part in the show. Fifty
people were expected to sit in the first
part. and the curtain rang up on but
sixteen. Their performance was not
up to the standard. but the spectators
did not spare their applause, and the
poor numbers received just as much
enthusiasm as did the better ones. The
performance opened with a short, over-
ture. E. M. Bartlett acted as later.
locutor. and Ernest Wilson and Wil-
liam Mulvihill. of South Norwalk. were
on the ends. Thomas Colo sang a
ballad very acceptably and Ernest
Wilson rendered "Kiss Yourself Good-
Bye.” in a commendable manner.
Charles N. Ernest who was adver-
tised to appear, failed to show up, but
George Thatcher was introduced. Ho
cracked a few jokes, and snag a par-
ody that went well. A finale of the
chorus of "The Old Hag Never Touch-
ed the Ground." finished the first part.
Mr. Clarke. of Newark. opened the
olio with a comet solo. "Billy" Mui-
vlhill gave a monologue which was ap-
preciated. Mr. Muivihill did not In
tend to do anything. but. was forced
to go on at. the last minute to fill out
and alitcutpt to make the show a stic-
ccss. Ho and Mr. Wilson were de-
cldodcly the best in the company.
George Thatcher and his wife. Miss
Zenalde Williams. closcd the perform-
ance with a skcich entitled "A Nigger
In the Woodpile." Mr. Ernest assists
in the sketch. but as he was not hand.
Mr. Cole jumped in and made quite
a bit with what was an unimportant
part. The sketch itsclf proved too
bulky, and was totally devoid of IC-
t.lou. Miss Williams cvemrcw the
part of n Parisian widow. and Mr.
Thatcher made the most out of a con-
glomcmlion of meaningless lines. The
laughs wore tow, and the iiIit‘ICh would
stand much pruning.
The show lasted almnt an hour. and
the entire performance showed lack of
rehearsals and stage management.
There were but two rehearsals. and
many who were supposed would vol-
unteer their services. did not appear.
The proceeds will be dcvolod to the
fund for securing electric lights on the
islands. but. the fund Is not now largo

negro. will have to hang. The Raw»
lips sons and Moore were found guilty
of the murder some time ago.
llolh llnwllus and Carter were for
years ,iliiulsicrs in the Methodist
church. A feud started and Rawlius
plotted to wipe out the Carter fain-
lly. it was arranged that Moore and
Milton. Jesse and Leonard Rawllns
were to go to the Carter homo and kill
the parents while they sat. at. the sup-
per table. When the children ran out
they were to be shot down. The as-
sassins. however. arrived after the
evening meal and could not shoot
through the windows at their victims.
Some noise caused Willie and Phonic
Bell Carter to run into the yard. in
siantly the guns of the murderers
spoke and the girl fell dead. The boy.
shot through the body, dragged him-
self Into the house and told who had
done the firing. All night long Rev.
and Mrs. Carter crouched in their
home. Through crevices in the log
house the Carters could soc the use
sassins creeping about the yard. but
whether their daughter was dead or
not they could not learn. Finally Rev.
Curler reached his rifle and fired
through a crack in the door. The
shot caused the murderers i‘p . flee.
Moore confessed the plot.
