DOWN SPUB TRACK

 

lied to Take Locomotive to
Pull on Back to Proper
Place

There was an exciting time at Win-
ulpauk. yesterday afternoon in the
vicinity of the Lounsbury and Btsseii
mill, when a loaded freight car got
away from the employees and ran
down 0 the spur track to the eu-
trance ‘ o the main line, where it
lodgedln such a position as to have
caused a bad wreck. It is said to
be the custom to allow a car being
loaded at the mill to drop down the
siding. but yesterday afternoon the
particular car in question did not stop
at the desired place. It was thought
that the brakes did not work properly.
Practically the whole male force of
the mill came out and tried to push
the car back on the siding, but to no
avail. It had lodged just as the cross-
over and refused to give way to hu-
man power. Matters were getting to-
teresting. for the time was rapidly
approaching for the arrival of the
south-bound Pittsfleld express, which
passes through Norwalk at 4:17. Sta-
tion Agent James E. McNierney. with
danger flag in hand, started up the
track and succeeded in stopping the-
express.

The trouble was explained to toe
engineer, who had his locomotive xunv
coupled from the tralrr and soon
switched the recalcitrant freight car
back on the siding, out of harm’s way.
The euglucr was then re—attaclrod to
the train and the journey to New
York resumed. The express was de‘
toyed about ten minutes by the inci-
dent.

Barber Commissioner Hummel
Says Board Is Following Pre-
cedent In Charging $5 for
License Renewals-All
Honey Collected Is Turned
Over'to the State

The local papers yesterday after-
noon printed a story of how Barber
Commissioner Hummel. of Bridgeport.
was severely censured by the officials
of the city court in Stamford last
Thursday for false arrest of harbors
and for overcharging for the renewal
of licenses.

0n the complaint of Barber Cour
missioners Hummel. of this city. and
Schneider. of New Haven. Prosecutor
Carter issued warrants for the arrest
of five barber's who 'were practicing
.Iieir calling without a license. When
he fIVc were brought into court three
of them had licenses. for which they
had paid 35 for renewal.

Judge Young ordered nolies enter
ed in the case of the three men who
and their licenses. He told the com-
missioners that they had no excuse for
arresting men who had licenses; that
the commissioners should be more
business-like and not appear ridicu-
dons.

Prosecuting Attorney Carter was
more severe in his atricntures upon the
commissioners. He said that there
was no warrant for the commission-
ers collecting more than SI for a re-
newal of licenses, and advised the
commissioners to return 84 of the
money. He told them that if they
were going about the state collecting
86 for renewals they were collecting
more than the law allows.

In some of the newspapers state-
ments there were intimations of
graft.

Commissioner Hummei’s Statement.

Barberflommissioner Peter Hum.
mel called at the office of the
Telegram-Union. in Bridgeport, last
evening. and said that here was arr
other side of the story. He said:
"For four years the harbor com
mlssioners of the state have been
doing business the some as the pres
cut conuulssloncrs are doing. The
harbors of tilt! state have 30 days
during the month of October in
which to renew their licenses, the fee
being 81. If they did not renew drrr»
lug the 30 days, they were assessed
"trim, and so has always been charg-
cd. That has been Ibo custom of our
predecessors in office. and we are fol-
owiug preccntlenis.

“it has been said in the papers that
our records are grossly inaccurate.
l‘lrc commissioners keep a clcun and
xpcrr account, and our books are as
well kept. as any bookkeepcr's in the
stale. anti are exunrined by the comp
trollcr of the state.

“All monies collected by the com
mist-rippers are Irri‘ncd over. and out:
side of the salaries 01,1110. commis-
sioners all other monies remain with
the state, so there can be no grail.
Each commissioner in under a bond
of SL000 for the faithful performance
of his duty, and if anybody is getting
graft. the graft Is going to the stale,“

Attorney Genersi Denies Schneider’s
Statement.

Attorney General King denies the
statement made by the state board oi
oxarniners, of harbors that the charge
of f6 made by the board for the re.
newal of licensee is based upon an
opinion given by him. The statement
was made in the city court of Siam-
ford on Thursday. Mr. Schneider of
the board saying that both the prcscnt

 

had said that the 85 could be collected.

Considerable continent is expressed
are of the Royal Ar-
canum over the t that when the
vote was taken at the bloating of the
Supreme Council of the order at Put-
ln- Bay, on the «location of the assess-
ment rates, the two delegates from .
this state split on the Question. When
the two delegates were chosen they
were Instructed to vote in favor of re-
considering the assessment rate pass~
ed at Atlantic City and referring back
to the old “Table A” rates. Other
delegates who had been instructed by
the jurisdictions to liota against the
rate had been ordeer to vote for a
direct repeal of the Atlantic Cit)!
p an.

At a conference of this party the
two Connecticut (telesales dlflered H.
I. Matthewson of. Milford. was of the
opinion that to support this was not in
accordance with his instruction. but
Carleton E. Hoadley. of New Ilav'en
considered that the preposition was
practically the same thing. The for-
mer therefore voted against the mo-
tion to repeal and the latter for it.
The vote was 63 to 38 In favor of
keeping the Atlanti‘ City plan in
force.

Mr, Hoadlcy was had today what
he thought of the rut ore to the effect
that the decision the Supreme
Council would mean Eilre breaking up
of the order. Ile said that he did
not think there was the remotesi
chance of any such thing coming to
pass. He said therc was a possibility
of one of the Massachusetts lodges
going out, but that this would have
little effect upon the order as a whole.
He said that he found that. the great-

at Atlantic City was In the East. the

ous Combustion

 

CHICAGO. Sept. O.—-Th Santa Fe
elevator, containing 845, bushels
of grain, was burned here today. Loss
"25.000

The building. located at Twenty-
seventh and Wood streets, was a five
story frame structure. covered by
sheet iron and corrugated steel.

The fire to thought to have been
started by spontaneous combustion in
a wheat bin on the top story. An ex-
plosion. was heard by several work-
men. who hurrlcd to that floor. When
they arrived they saw flames issuing
from one of the .bins. Efforts wore
made to extinguish the fire, but after
a short tight the men were forced to
flee from the building. Before the
first detachment of firemen arrived
the flames had reached the first floor
of the building and were beyond cons
trol.

'l‘he firemen experience considerable
difficulty In reaching the fire and In
obtaining water, although twenty en-
gines and two fire tags were at the

.scene. The nearest water plug to the

fire was more than 200 feet away.
while others were almost 400 yards
from the building The elevator to

prayed under heavy risk by the train
crews. None of the cars was burned.

Ing was a mass of flames. An hour
after the fire started the doors of the
building collapsed and later the sides
of the building gave way. Hundreds
of bushels of grain flow d Into the

845.000 bushels of grain, of which half

In pursuit of him.

It is believed that there were two
of the fellows. Both were young and
fairly well dressed, about 22 years of

carried a book under his arm. He
was dressed in a gray suit and wore
a straw hat. The fellow who was
discovered in the house wore a gray
suit and a black Derby hat.

Mr. Golden and family have been
living at their summer borne on Dell
Island for the season. but came borne
today to take lunch at their West sve-
nue residence. Mrs. Golden went up
to the house to look after the lunch-
eon and opened the front door. She
stepped inside and closed it after her.
The burglar was crouching behind a
chair in the parlor and around him
were several costly ram.

Mrs. Golden did not see another
man. who. howeier, was seen by the
neighbors. As soon as the fellow law
that he was observed. he lumped up
and ran to the back door and made his
«cape. The msursuder had packed up
0. large amount of valuables. and was
dppsrently almost ready to tales them

Doyle was attacked first at about
1: to this morning as he was going
across the tracks to the front of the
stdiion. Three nren attempted to hold
him up, but his loud ahead: for help
frightened them and hp escaped into
the depot. At abbot ll: 46 he left his
office and startedvthroush a. passage-

set upon by‘ two men one on each
side. They knocked him down kick-
ed hlm in the ribs and stole his
watch. a gold one of considerable v‘al-
ue. and 818 in cash. They then made
their escape.

Three quarters of an hour later
Mrs. Charles Laponlo, who occupies
the third story of a tenement house at
the corner of Liberty street and Safe-
ty avenue awoke to find a map search-
Ing the drawers of a bureau in her
room. She‘scresmed and the man
fled but took with him a. gold watch
and chain. a revolver and $10. The
house of Joseph (Iallio, in the Kelly
blbck. was also entered but so far as
Is known. nothing was taken there
At an Italian boarding house not far
away, however, burglars got a gold
watch and $22. All the houses en
tered are in the Italian section and
within half a mile of the railroad
station. It. is supposed that all the
breaks except that at Mrs. Laponlo's
were committed before the second at-
tack on Doyle at the station.

Chief Egan, of the state police,
whose residence is here. and the
county and town authorities are work-
lng on the case today, and It is under-
stood that an Italian who is a com-
parative stranger is regarded for some
reason as a suspect. Operator Doyle
said. however, that from his glimpse
of the men. he did not think they were
Italians.
