is New 819303.02 More Than
a Year Ago. But the , Present
Board Paid Alany ilills Con-
tracted by Predsoessors and

_ Had Heavy Expenses for
Bridges

On September let. the first day of
the new fiscal year. the Indebtedness
of the Town of Norwalk was $379,647.-
78. an Increase lover the year ago of
Just $19,993.02. The towu debt has
been growing steadlly for years. The
increase last year over the year prev-
ious was $21,926.22.

The figures showing the Increase of
the debt for the present year are se-
cured from the Mount report of the
selectmen, which has Just been com-
pleted and will. be submitted to the
town meeting at the bovm assembly
hail, Wall street. next Monday night.

The present board of selectmen
claim that when they took ofiice they
were saddled with the task of settling
bills for about $32,000, which Select
man Alfred Avlson states. were sad-
dled on themi by their predecessors of
last year. First Selectman John De-
vine said yesterday afternoon. how-
ever, that he (Mr. Device) does not
claim that they received nothing in re
turn. He states that the 1904 select
men. during the last month of office.
did considerable work In the road re-
pairing line and began bridge work.

A comparison of a few of the figures
from the present report with those of
last year are interesting. The South
Norwalk draw bridge cost the 1904 se
lectmou 36.028.30. and this. year’s
board has laid out on it $1,582. The
discrepancy Is due to quite‘exbensive
repairs that were necessary last year.
The town Is about to Install a $1,500
electric operating mechanism. but this
is not included in the selectmcn’s ace
. count for this year.

The selectmen claim that the ques-
tion of bridges has been one that has
had no little to do with the nice of the
Increase In the Itowp debt. It has
been up to them construct three
new bridges, the erry avenue stone
arch bridgeythe new Hill street bridge
at Winnipauk and the Belle Island
bridge, which is In progress of con
siniciion at the present time. The
sum of $I,579.89 has so far been laid
out on the latter. ,The figures for
this department were 112554.57. while
the amount last year was $6,946.31, a
difference of $5,608.26.

First Selectman John Davina is nat-
urally eluted at the showing of the
two important. departments of town
poor and the almshouse, over which he
presides by virtue of his office of
chairman of the board.

last year the ulmshouse ,cost the
town 85,066.43, while this year the am-
ount has been $4,037.35, a saving of
$1,028.08 to the tax payers. Last. year
the selcutlll‘on extended aid to the
town poor to the amount of $14,570.61.
This year’s figures are $13,296.88. to
saving of $1,273.73. in the combined
élflpéalrtments the saving has been 82,-

The selectmen paid out $6,521.10 In

Town of Norwalk. There Is a con~

Grand Central Palace for Tem-
porary Station-Branch Posi-
oilise‘llemoved-0Iher Plans
changed

NEW YORK; September 22.-—The
public must wait at least five years
for the completion of the New York
Central railroad compnnli'flbew ter-
minal. Instead of beginning at one
to rebuild the Grand Central station.
this work will not be started under
two years.

With the alterations in plans the
temporary building being erected be-
tween ),Forty-third and Forty-fourth
streets. Madison and Vanderbilt ave-
nues, will be used as a post-office, It
was originally intended to place there
this month. all the Ne wYork Central
ofiices that are now in the Grand Cen«
tral station. That the racing of the
Grand Central station might not be
delayed the work of completing the
temporary building was hastened.

The Madison avenue building will
be turned over to the postofilce au-
thorities while the new terminal is
being built. One fioor only has been
reserved by the railroad company, for
oillces for the engineering depart-
ments. While the 'new quarters
for the post-office are practically fin-
ished inside, the connecting of the
building with the general post-office
and providing facilities for mail wa-
gons will take several months.

The railroad company will use the
Grand Central Palace as a tempera.
ry station. at which passengers will
board trains. By agreement this buil-
ding will be vaunted on January 1.
when the work of altering it will be-
gin. The building will have to be al-
most entirely remodelled inside.
When trains are running to this point
the use of the tracks’ in the present
station will be discontinued and their
area excavated.

It was said yesterday that all this
work would be completed before a
start would be made on the actual
erection of a new station. There will
be no halting in the electrifying of the
terminal and the gradual elimination
of steam as a motive power. Engin-
eers have about completed their work
on this branch of the improvemcnl.
and soon motors will be built which
will be tried experimentally and
which will be improved so that by the
time the new terminal is completed
they may be oi the highest type of ef-
ficiency.

Again-Some Material in
Both Parties for the Head of
the Ticket

Both Republicans and Democrats in
the City of Norwalk will be surprised
to learn that Mayor George B. Buxton
will. under no circumstances, be a
candidate for re-electioms. The pop-
ular mayor made this decision .a long
time ago, but has quietly-listened to
the foregone conclusion talk that he
would again head the ticket.

That he could very easily secure a
renominatlon and could In all prob-
ability succeed himself In tbe mayor~
aity chair is conceded. His decision
In this Important matter came after
mature deliberation and the realiza-
tion that the manifold duties of, the
office will Interfere with his business
interests. which are out of town as
well as local.

Now that it is know that Mayor
Buxton will not run again, prominet
Norwnlk Republicans are looking
around for other candidates. it Is
stated that Representative John A.
Osborn now stands the best show of
securing the nomination. It is be-
lieved, also, that. he would accept it.

It is also thought that all of the
present four Republican members of
the Council will be candidates for re-
election. They are David F. Gould.
William F. Lockwood, Charles A. Sco-
field and Edward H. Morehousc. The
city caucus will be held next Wed-
nesday.

The Democratic city primaries will
be held next Tuesday evening in the
various districts.

Next week will decide the question
of candidates for both parties as the
election occurs one week from Mon-
day. The Republican town caucus for
the First and Third districts will be
held at the town assembly hall on
Tuesday evening at 8 o‘clock. Prom
lnent names for the office of select-
mon at that time will be these of
Selectman Alfred Avlsoii and Edward

The Democratic town convention ot

Mrs. G, Willi J‘ bills. of Orchard
street, Norwalk,‘, ad a harrowing ex-
perience with a tramp Tuesday, which
she is not liablegtoforget soon. A
burly stranger, in addition to fore
lng her to give him a breakfast. stole
a pocketbook containing 86 in money.

The intruder hill evidently been
making a more or less protracted stay
in this vicinity. taunt is supposed that
he spent a night or more at the old
gas house, or some other harbor along
the railroad track, for this was his
second visit in two days.

The morning previous he came into
the yard of the Il'aulds home. but
Mrs. Io‘auids saw him first and locked
the door before he reached the house.
,On his second visit be was more suc-
cessful in gaining an entrance. and
addressed Mrs. Fauldp, ”asking her for
something to eat. She replied that she
had nothing for him but he would not
be satisfied with this reply.

Mrs. Fauids was llecoming alarmed
when he Inslslod that she give him
something to satisfy his hunger. and
turrliing to her little daughter, she
suit :

"I guess we had better go call dod-
11".”

This remark did not In theloast
discoiieert this particular specimen of
the genus hobo. who promptly replied:

“No, we won't go call daddy. too
get me something to eat."

Mrs. b‘niilds had no other alterna-
tive than to do as she was command-
ed. belng'nlone and not snfilciently
muscular to gIVr the vagrant battle.
She was considerably unnerved by the
ordeal, but succeeded In preparing
something for tho insistent and un-
welcome visitors.

When the man had. gone she dis-
covered that her pocketbook was miss-
ing and that the sum before men-
tioned had gone with‘ it. When Mr.
Faulds returned home his wife In
formed him of her experience, but it
was then too late to do anything. It
is probable; hocher. that Mrs. Faulds
would be able to recognise the strong-
or should she see him again.

Trumps are already beginning to
give housewives about The Norwalks
trouble and the several recent day-
light burglaries are, causing no little
alarm. The knight errants keep them-
selves pretty well distributed about
the country during the summer but

nothing that might lead to a clue.

Medical Examiner Francis A. Harris
planned .to perform an autopsy on
the trunk today and will immediately
report his finding to the district at-
torney. His preliminary examination
strengthened the theory that the wo-
man had been the victim of an un-
successful surgical operation and that
the (Ilsniembering of the body had
been the work of skilled hands.

The Boston police are searching the
city Iu'the hope of locating the miss-
Ing woman. as they are of the opinion
that the crime was committed hero.
The police of Winthrop state the vic-
tiin probably was not a resident of
that town. as they know of no one

It was learned that early in the
morning four officers went to the ofiice
of a physician on Howard street in
the West End, where nearly half an
hour was spent In a search of the
premises. The person whom the po-
lice desired to intervi w. was. It is

Nor-walk Police Went on a Wild Goose
Chase Wednesday Night.

An evidently imaginary burglar
scare was reported if) the Norwalk po~
lice Wednesday night. Two young
men notified Officers Silk and heather-
Iand that they had heard a door slam
in the rear of the Union Grocery Com-
pany's store in Main street. The offi-
cers, to forestall criticisn that would
have been aroused had they not in.
vestigafed. took a trip to the back of
the store. and found everything Intact,

One of the young men who reported
the matter declared that he had seen
a man dart out on to Main street. but
the police ridiculed this as most im-
probable, (for any sensible burglar
would undoubtedly have disappeared
through the many dark paths to High
street. where discovery would be prac-
tically impossible.

The police laugh at a story to the
effect that the burglar was boring out
the lock in the back door. Had an in-
strunient boon used. undoubtedly t ere
would have been some trace of its
work.

To make sure that everything in the
store was intact they routed Fred Wei-
seit. of the Company. out of bed about
11:30 p. m.. and had him go to the
store and open the door for them.
Nothing was found to be disturbed.

CHATHAM. Mass. Sept. 22.—-’I‘he
twomasted schooner Herbert, bound
from Rockport, Mesa. for Newport.
It. 1.. with a. cargo of granite. was in
collision early today about twenty
miles off Chathain with an unknown
schooner bound east. The bowsprlt
and bead gear of the Herbert were
carried away, and as a result of the
accident she is partly disabled and
leaking. The plight of the schooner
was observed during the morning by

' the life saving crew at the Nauset Stan

tion. The mainsail of the unknown
schooner was torn. According to
Capt. J. D. Perkins. of the Herbert. the
other vessel resumed her voyage after
the collision without offering assist-
ance.

No one was Injured on the Herbert.
The captain,and crew. numbering four
men, believe that the schooner which
struck their vessel was bound for St.
John or some other provincial port
from the south. She was apparently
light. As it was dark. however. the
crew of the Herbert could not discern
the name of the vessel. which resumed
her course east directly after the ac-
cident. It was observed that her
mainsail was badly ripped. The only
explanation of the collsiion that Capt.
Perkins could offer was that In the
thick gloom the lights could not be
seen.

Shortly after day break the Herbert
was sighted at anchor between the Dr-
leans and Nausot .ations. She was
boarded later by lapt. Walker and
several of the guard of the Nausct
Station. who assisted In getting lite
schooner under way. She proceeded
north, leaking. At. the request of
Capt. Perkins, Captain Walker sent a
dispatch to the Rockpori agent of the
Herbert. asking that a tugboat be sent
from Boston to low the damaged
schooner to etbat port.

The Ilerbert is a vessel of Iii tons
and was built at. ust Boston in 1883.
Her home port is Gloucester.
