The regatta committee of the Nor-
mal); Yacht Clubtendered a compu.
memory. dance last evening at the
clubhouse to the members of the club
and their. friends and. the affair prov~

, ' ‘ed‘ to be far and away the most pleas-
ant social event held, at the club dur-
ing the past season. and those present
were outspoken in their praise of the
three members of-the regatta commit—
tee who provided such a pleasant time
and-carried the affair out so well. The
members of the committee are 0. Buck
Duilols. chatrmnn.‘ lrving R. Wilmot
and William .1. Sterling. These gen-
tlemen have been indefatigable in
their work to make the dance a suc-
cess and their efforts were amply re.
.vmrded. .

The interiorof the club house was
very tact'e’fbll'y' decorated with Ameri-
can fla‘gb.~*yacht burgees, and signal
flags and was lighted by lanterns of
particularsd hues, producing a very
pretty effect. The night was an ideal
one forndancing and the waters of the
harborl'were smooth and glassy; while

,the lights. of passing boats made it
look like a scene in Venice.

Music for the occasion was provided
by Benger‘s orchestra and was excel-

. lent. ,

At intermission Commodore James
‘A. Farrell presented the cups which
had been won in the, series of three
regattas during the past summer. The

' cops were very handsome ones of all-

Brest Preparation For Sub-Marine Eit-
piosion That Made Hardly a
. . Ripple.

A lnrgc cr wd of people gathered
on the Wall .trcet bridge just before
4 o'clock yin-i crdny afternoon. to see
the big rock i the head of the upper
harbor blown up by the men from the
Capital City, ml were disappointed at
the ilflcciitcic .

Just bcfor the blast was set off, the

captain of ie dredge. with the assis-
tance of C lef of Police Thomas Brada
Joy and 0 plain R. N. Morehouiie.
cleared t bridge of all pedestrians
and vehicles. to preclude the possibil-
ity of thuring any one. Subsequent
results lichd that this precaution
was unn .ccssury. for only a very light
pvave was created.
The charge of one and one-half
pounds of dysnmlie did an excellent
job, breaking the several ton boulder
in chamber of sections which can be
easily hauled out of the harbor.

in plunnilon of his desire to keep
scary ody off the bridge. the captain
sin . that even a sliver of rock as
small ,as it person's list was liable to

Bl-iiionthty
Methodist Church, Weapon-—
. Sermon by ilev. C. L. F reeman

The‘ bl-monthly meeting of the Nor-

slk Epworth league Union was held
it the Methodist Episcopal church. in
Westport. last night. There was a
large attendance, many being present
from The Norwnlks. The president.
Rev. E. W, Byshc, of Rowayton, called
the meeting to order. Rev. W. W, '1‘.
Duncan, of South Norwalk. read the
scriptures. and Oscar Mills led in
prayer.

The business of the evening consis-
ted to the appointment at a secretary
pro tem. and E. W. C. Cunningham. of
East Norwallt. was chosen. The invi-
tation to meet in the Methodist Epis-
copal church. in Darlen, in November
was renewed. and unanimously accep-
ted.

The resignation of the secretary, Al-
len B. Ely. was accepted and Miss SW
die E, Bodwell, of South Norwalk, was
chosen to the office. The chair was
instructed to appoint a committee on
visitation. among the different chap-
tors.

Two vocal colos, Abide With Me,
and I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say.
were rendered by Miss Kimball. of
Westporl.

The address of the evening was de-
livered by Rev. George ll. li‘reeman.
of Barton. His topic was the Helpful-
ness of Good books. The idea was
not close appearance. but close obser-
vation, taking a good look at things.
He treated the subject under three
heads. -

First. Helpfulness of inward Look-
ing. showing the value of self examin-
ntlou; second, Helpfulness of Upward
Looking, the need of looking to God.
third, Outward Looking. or view of
present opportunities. The address
was a very superior one, and was lis-
tened to with great attention. Mr.
Freeman is a young man of great
promise. and developing into one of
the powerful preachers of the confer~
once. - .

The meeting closed with the bene-
diction. pronounced by Rev. L.-
Moore, of Norwalk. ‘

All then retired to the. basement
dining room and parlor. where a col«
lotion was served by the ladies of the
Westport Chapter.

Vicar-General ot the Diocese
' Said to lie Working to Keep
Bridgeport Case Out oi Court

BRIDGEPORT, Supt. 23.-lt is learn-
ed on good puthority that the suit for
damages brought by the Rev. (lactauo
Cerutl. pastor of tho ltnliun Catholic
Church. against Dr. and Mrs. Henry
Ceuicolu, is to be settled out of court.
There is a condition to the settlement.
it is said. that has not been arrived
at yet. but' the church authorities at
Hartford are ondenvoring to bring
about the settlement.

In the absence of Bishop Tierney
in Europe the vicar-general of the
diocese is opposed to having the case
go to the courts. it Is said. The
action of a priest in bringing suit for
damages in the courts is against the
policy of the church. At the begin-
ning of the controversy, however, the
Rev. Father Ceruti had permission to
bring action against those whom he
considered had slandercd him. The
church authorities believe that the
case. if it is allowed to go to the
courts. will bring a certain amount
of undesirable notoriety to the cloth.
and will not tend to restore harmony
to the local church, which is one of
the things they desire most. if is
said that the contingency that blocks
the ”peace negotiations" is the refusal
of Dr. Conicola to make the necessary
retraction and apology. on ihc ground
that he never littered thc alleged slun-
derous words.

Well-Known Tailor iii Norwalk
Expired Early Last Evening
at the Enteranoe to His Place

. of Business in litain Street

Suddenli'. and without warning.
George W. Downes. the well-known
'tallor. dropped dead last evening
about 5:30.0'clock at the entrance to
his establishment at 36 Main-L street.
Norwalk. Medical Examiner S. H.
Huntington. who was called and view-
or! the remains, pronounced death to
have been due to apoplexy..

The last persop to whom Mr. Downes
was known to have spoken to was
Eugene F. Carter. clerk at the Bryant.
Reese and Company store, located on
the opposite side of the street. and a
short distance. below his tailoring shop.

Mr. Dowuee has done the altering.
pressing. etc. of the firm for a num-
ber of years and just previous to his
demise called at the store and ‘alked
with Mr. Carter in regard to some
work. At that time he was apparently
perfectly well. Mr. Carter explained
to him what he desired done on some
clothes and he replied: ,

"1‘” take them right over and do
it now." .

Being so late in the day Mr. Carter
tried to pursunde him to wait until

 

today, and succeeding. Mr. Downes
said:

“All right, l'il wait until tomorrow
morning."

He left the store, and it. is believed.
walked directly to his shop, in the
store of Brewer and Malone. feed deal-
ors. Michael Shields. an employs of
that firm. who was occupied in un-
loading a wagon. was surprised to see

K. Mr. Downes fall prostrate at his door.

Mr. Shields went to his assistance and
immediately discerning that some-
thing unusual was the matter. called
Edward Brower to aid him.

Mr. Downes was own then uncon-
scious and beyond all human aid. Afo
ter a few gasps, he ceased breathing
entirely. His body was placed in a
half sitting posture and the collar
about his neck loosened, but all, ef-
forts toward resuscitation were with-
out the least reward.

tain of Police Robert N, Moi-choose

culation of air possible if it should
he of any uvnil.

Hardware Coronatiy. was unsuccwsful
in trying to got a physician at four
different offices. it‘lnuily it incur-lugs
was sent to Dr. lluntiugion, Who, at-
ter naming the cause of death. gave
permission for the. removal of the rc-
mulns to Raymond and Son‘s under-
taking rooms.

Mr. Dowucs and his wife resided
with their son. Charles H. Downcs.
at 192 West street, on iioton Hill. The
latter was found at home and notified
of his father's sudden death by A. L.
Searies, another clerk at the Bryant,
Besse Company store. Mr. Downcs
went at once to Norwalk to make ur-
rangements for the care of his father's
remains and arrived before Medical
Examiner Huntington had left the
scene.

Mr. Downes stated that his father.
who was seventy-eight years of age.
had been in good health right along.
although occasionally he suffered
slight “heart burn." Last March he
had at two weeks' attack ofvlhe grip
and this was ‘the first time in forty
years he had been sick enough to re-
quire the services of a physician. lie

ness life and started it in-Norwulk

ferred to and two daughters. Mrs.

The extracting of seven teeth from
the upper jaw of Mrs. Harry A. Hen-
dricks, wife of the carpenter and bull-
der. residing at the corner of Com-
stock andSllvsrmine avenues, Nor-
walk. nearly caused her death last
night from hemorrhage.

Mrs. Hendricks lost a large quanti-
ty of blood. and it was only after ap-
plying herolc remedies that Dr. A. H.
Bald-win. who was called; succeeded in
staunchlng the flow.‘

The whole. neighborhood had be-
come aroused and many people were
on hand to assist the family in caring
for her They were completely baffl-
od before the arrival of the physician.
for home remedies had no effect what-
ever and blood continued to issue
from the cavities out of which the
teeth had been taken.

Early in the afternoon Mrs. Hen-
dricks had been to South Norwalk to
have the teeth extracted, which ope-
ration wns gone through without spe-
cial trouble. Some two hours later:
however, the hemorrhage set in and
word was despatchcd for Dr, Baldwin
at. about 5, o‘clock. The physician
found the case a very' troublesome
one. but finally succeeded in his work.
He thought that there would be no
more trouble from the law. and re-
turned to his office.

The remedy proved only temporary.
for a short time after he left the
house. the blood started again and
continued to run out just as fast as it
had before the doctor‘s visit. A hurry
call was despatched to the doctor and
he returned in quick time.

More medicine was used than on the
first visit. and this proved effective.
When he left the house a second time
there was no indication that there
would be a recurrence of the hemorr-
huge.

When asked this morning concerning
the case, Dr. Baldwin stated that it
was true that. it bud been a very bad
one. and that he had much trouble
with it.

. The reason for the readiness with
which the hemorrhage continued was
the. luck in Mrs. liendricks‘ blood. of
sufficient coagulative properties As a
result it is even difficult. to stop the
flow of blood from even a small cut.

field Village.

theatre they will be arrested in real
earnest next time. The boys gather-
ed in front of the entrance have be-
come a great nuisance by begging pa~
trons of the theatre to take them in
or give them their return checks.
Some are even being encouraged in
begging by gifts of money from pn-
trons. The children should be at
home and in bed. and it is doubtless
the fault. of the parents that they are
allowed to roam the streets at night.

BRlDGEWATER. Mass. Sept. 23,——
Minot St. Clair Francis. the mulatto in-
sane convict. who recently escaped
from the state farm here. was sur—
rounded early today in some woods
about a mile from the center of the
town and it was believed by the oili-
cers that he would be captured during
the day. Francis is considered by the
authorities to be a dangerous man.
iiiarly today an officer saw a man ap-
parently preparing to break into a
drug store in the village square. A
closer inspection showed that the man
Was Francis. The convict saw the
officer and run. The officer chased
him for about a mile. when Francis
disappeared into the woods. The oili-
ver at once telephoned to the state
farm and a large posse quickly sun
rounded the woods, which are of con-
siderable extent. '
