South llorwaik Congregational
Woman's Association Holds
Opening Meeting oi the Year,
and Appoints Committees
Fifty ladies gathered in the pleasant
parlors of the Congregational Church
of South Norwalk, yesterday afternoon,
for the year's opening meeting of its
Woman’s Association. Mrs. J. B. Law-
rence, the president. was ill the chair.
The following committees were (”1'
nuanced:
Church Departmenthrs. Joseph H.
Fillow, Mrs. J. M. Cehurn. Mrs. Mar-
shall H. Tollcs.
Home Misaionary Department—Miss
PIatt, Mina Weed, Miss McClure.
Foreign Missionary Department—
Mrs. Kendall.
City Departmenthrs. R. H. Plats-
ted, Mrs. F. H. Gleason, Miss Patten.
After hearing the recommendation
of the Home Missionary Department
it was voted to prepare and send a
barrel of clothing to Miss Marsh,
teacher in an American Missionary As-
social school of the South. for use
among her pupils.
The devotional exercises were fol-
lowod by interesting items of current
events in the religious world. given
by several ladies. The regular pro-
gram was then enjoyed. All of the
papers were excellent and interesting.
Mrs. Frank ll. Gleason. in her pa-
per on “Physical Africa." opened up
the Dark Continent clearly and pleas»
antiy. She told of its dealy coast line,
healthful plateaus, cool mountain rc-
glons near the equator; its large riv-
ers. unusual forests, and vast hunting
grounds. -
The falls of the Victoria Nyunza are
the highest in the world, and exceed-
ingly picturesque. They are 300 feet
high and 1,000 feet broad. ()nr Nia-
gara is 104 high and 4.700 wide. Ono
goes to North Africa for health, to
South Africa for wealth and Central
Africa for game. The Nile was spoken
of as the river of the past; the Congo
as that of the future. Africa Is a con.
tineni of negations. 'it Is easier to
tell what it is not. than what it Is.
None of its rivers are navigable to the
coast, on account of their cataracts and
falls. The eastern coast is accessible
only through Mozambique and that
not because it has a good harbor, but
because it has the only harbor,
Miss Patten. in her paper on “His
torle Africa." said she had encountered
the phrase "Africa has no history" so
many times that she had wondered if
she was expected to make one for the
occasion. Nevertheless she took her
hearers back to 5.000 B. C.. and
through the conquests of the Persians,
Romans. Spanish, Arabians. French.
Porlugcso, Dutch and British in a
most interesting way.
Miss Elizabeth 1. Tollcs spoke on
“Vacation Schools," exhibiting articles
made by the children of the Monti-lair
vacation school—baskets. rattles. mats
and sewn articles. Beginning in Des-
ton in 1895 the work had spread
throughout. the cities of theeast and
west. Every kind of handiwork is
taught. even to gardening and cooking.
in New York City $180,000 was appro-
priated for such schools and play
grounds lhis past summer, thirtysthrec
schools and seventy-six playgrounds
being open They were so popular
that the children had to be put on
half-time. Several daily Bible, schools
were also open-,fiuring this summer
in New York, "
The social hour, following the pro-
gram. was truly social. Delicious rc~
freshmenls were served by Miss lio-
hannau. Mrs. Goodrich, Mrs. Rowan
and Miss Lauder.
South Norwalk Baptist Association.
The first meeting of the sfutson of
the Foreign Branch of the Woman's
Missionary Association of the South
Norwalk Baptist Cllurch was held yes-
terday afternoon at the church. under
the leadership of Mrs. ilermnn Drake.
The subject of the meeting was “Afri-
ca," and was a most interesting one.
Considerable routine business inciden-
tal to the first. meeting of the season
:was transacted.

Bt. Saviour's Church is situated on
the Surrey, or south, side of London.
and is one of the oldest churches In
that city. it was formerly the church
belonging to the priory of St. Mary
over the lite or Overy, which the His-
torian Stow, on the authority of Lin-
sted. the last prior, says was original-
ly founded by Mary Ovcl'y, a ferry
woman'who long before the Norman
conquest or the existence of any bridge
over the river, dovokd her earnings
to this purpose. 'She was buried with-
in the walls of this church and by
some its dedication has been supposed
to refer to her. The fundation of
Maryh Overy was for a house of sis-
ters, but this was afterwards turned
by Swithin. a noble lady. into a col-
lege of priests, who are said to have
built the first timber bridge over the
river Thames.
The original Norman nave of St.
Saviour‘s, of which fragments still re

WOODEN TRUSS BRIDGE
CAN BE CONSTRUCTEO
Bell island Matter Believed to
be Near Settlement, Accord-
ing to Letter Today
From the tenure of a letter received
today by the sclectmen in reference to
the new Belle island bridge. it Is evi-
dent lhat the War Department has no
objection to the town erecting a wood-
on truss bridge. instead of the stone
arch voted.
The seleclmen, some time ago. came
to the conclusion that the wooden
truss was more desirable and accord-
ingly, plans drawn up for one, by En-
gineer Charles N. Wood were submlc
ted to the War Department.
How long before the final word will
be received from the government is
an unknown quantity. as the present
plans were sent away a number of
weeks ago. To expedite the matter
as much as possible, the plans, in tri-
plicate, as asked for III the letter giv-
en below. were sent off today.
As soon as the final decree in re-
ceived. the seleetmcn will call a spec-
ial town meeting, to decide whether
the stone arch bridge shall be built, as
originally voted, or the wooden bridge
substituted. The desire of the select-
men to substitute the wooden bridge
comes from the fact that conditions
are such that the stone bridge ivlll
cost more than the original appropri-
ation of $7,500, at which figure Dudley
E. iioyt took the contract. Tile gap
to be closed In thlrty~two feet wide.
After the work was started last
spring it was delayed greatly by the
government. which shut down work
because the original plans were not
submitted to the War Department.
At any event, the soleelmen hope to
have the bridge completed before the
winter sets in. The letter received
today was as follows:

iohn Stormlsky, of West Hor-
walk, Taken to Lockup by
Deputy Sheriff Sculley—
Neighbors Give Prisoner a
Bad Iiecord
John Stermisky, the man who, it is
claimed, mnrdorously assaulted Vito
Colocuico and his wife at their home
on the Step Rock road, was quickly
captured, yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
John W. Sculley, and placed in the
Smith street, lockup, Norwalk.
(ioloculco presented a sorry sight
this morning in court when the case
came up before Judge Edward M.
Lockwood. ills nose had been badly
bruised and broken in two places and
there was a great furrow from over
the left eye, across to the center of
the forehead and down to the portion
of the nasal organ smashed in. The
most serious part of the wound had
been bound with plasters by Dr. F. l.
Burnell and Dr. V. . 'i‘ito, who attend-
ed the Injured man.
Coloeuico and his wife and the other
state witnesses testified as to the cir-
cumstances of the assault and the
case was continued until 2 o'clock this
afternoon. in order that—Biermisky's
wife may appear in court. Preseeut-
ing Attorney Leo Davis hopes to so
cure the full sentence of the law un-
der the charge, that of simple assault.
This means a fine of $5 and six
months in jail for assaulting the man
and a like term for the assault on the
woman. Mrs. Coioculco also has re-
minders of the encounter In the shape
of bruises about the head, which she
claimed were received when Stcrmis-
ky hit her over the head with a sauce-
pan.
Stcrmisky, the authorities say, is the
same man who stole $50 from a man
with whom he boarded in Springwood
some time. After taking the money
in .~ iidgeport jail
(locuico and his wife told a
air 'ghtforward story in court this
time}. 3 complaint was made out. the
writ, instead of charging simple as-
:‘llllli, would have. read "assault with
intent to kill."
It seems that Slermisky and his
wife occupy a portion of the Colocuico
residence, and the owner told the luau
Monday morning that unless he paid
up his rent he would have to move out.
Sterininky evidently brooded over the
matter all day, and. it is alleged, tilled
-Ip with hard cider, for when Colo-
cuico returned from Ills work at the
Westporl paper mill Monday night.
Stormisky entered the (:olocuico apart-
ments and proceeded to put the intui-
iord and his wife out of business.
Without any warning he struck
Colocuico. who was sitting dowh with
a baby ill his arms. over the head
with a kitchen utensil. Mrs. (iolocub
' co rushed to her husband's assistance
and ran her finger nulls down Ster-
miskey's face. 'Bolh man and wife
set on Stermisky and pushed him out
of the house; not. hewuvcr. before
Mrs. Colocuico was hit over the head
with a saucepan,
Stermisky was not ready to give up
the battle so easily and proceeded to
bombard the house with stones, break-
ing windows and sash And doing other
damage.
Coloculeo, with lamp lfl hand. sturl~
ed for the door, to order the man to
desist. Just at the entrance Slur.
mlsky pounced on him, striking him
with a hammer. Coloeuico fell like
a log and was unconscious for some
time.
Deputy Sheriff Scullcy made a search
for Sicrmisky Tuesday. but did not
find him until yesterday. thn the
delinty sheriff arrived, Stormlsky was
behind the barn. but elncrgcd at the
approach of the officer, Sheriff Scullcy
lost no time In handcufilng him and
ordered him to accompany him to the
lockup.
Stormiskyobjeeted strenuously and
wanted the deputy sheriff to take him
to August. Spshr's residence, and the
request was acceded to. There he told
Ills tale of was and refused to be taken
away.

fact that restitution had been made by
