o‘clock this morning by the hand of a
burglar touching her face, Miss Alice

South Main street grocer. quietly cal-
led to her mother and gave the alarm
which resulted in a hand to hand fight
between the midnight marauder and
Jules Larsen, one of Mr. Fitch's clerks
In which Mr. Larsen hit the burglar

i' five times with a chair and received a
bloody nose himself before finally the
burglar lumped through a kitchen win-
. dew and made good his escape with

.815 belonging to Mrs. Fitch. The house
next door was also burglarized and
some wine belonging to Angelo Cou
trettl and a coat belonging to Jere-
miah Egan stolen.

It was a few moments before 3
o'clock when Miss Fitch was awakened
by the sound of dripping water and al-
most simultaneously she felt a rough
band pass over her face and heard
breathing. She called to her mother

Mrs. Fitch, without lighting a light,
went into her daughter's room. think-

that her father he called This was
done and as they were. going again into
her room they saw a figure going swift-
ly down stairs.

“There he goes," cried Mrs. Fitch,
and Mr. Fitch ran down after him. The
l noise awakened Mr. Larsen, who hur-
riedly drawing on a pair of trousers,
Went downstairs too. Mr. Fitch was
for a time unable to locate the bur-

Well-known Straw Hat Mono

Trouble, Following the Sud-

Firm

 

“'—" 1’

Two attachments have [teen placed
on the property and plan! of the Den-
nis & Blanchard straw hat manufac-
tory, in Water street. South Norwalk.

and attachments aggregating as high
st 320. 000 it is said will be placed to-

83'-

Two attachments were placed on
the plant this morning by Constable
J, J. Goodwin. one for $2,000 by the
Thread Agency. a business concern
organised under the laws of New Jer-
sey. but doing business in New York.

Another attachment was placed by
Attorney William A. Griffin. amounting
.0 $150, for the Hubbell. Wade & Rider
Company. of Bridgeport, for supplies.

Several other attachments have.
been put in the hands of the officials,
but have not yet been served formally.

Judge John H. Light. who represents
the Dennis & Blanchard company, was
'asked today about the financial embar-
rassment of the company. He said
‘hat the assets are small and the con-
:ern is involved over 820.000. Quite
In amount of money was borrowed on
mice and the concern, it Is believed.
‘iad been sliding on thin ice for some
time.

Judge Light could not state who the
heaviest. creditors are. further than
that they are principally New York
parties and dealers in supplies and ma-
terials for the manufacture. of straw
hats.

Whether the company will be forced
Into bankruptcy. or whether some com-
promise cau be made with the credi-
tors whereby the concern can be al-
lowed to continue business of course
cannot yet be foretold.

The financial embarrassmcnts of the
concern come as a surprise to the
business circles. and except to those
who were intimately associated with
‘he concern it was believed to have
been one of the most solid financially
In the city.

The past season, howeier, has been
I. very poor one and the company

Warner & Goldschmldt. of Norwalk,
Iave some claims against the concern.
Ind Attorney John Keogh also holds
some.

That the personal estate of the late
Abiatbar lilancliiird ‘Wlll suffer to n

Recent Rise' In Wages Is Being
Followed by a- Decrease in
Force

 

 

Following the announcement that
the New Haven road had increased the
vnves of its telegraph operators, it
vas learned today that ‘the company
vns planning to discontinue this ser~
lice at several stations along its sys

item at night and at many smaller ger

points during the day time. These sta-
tions are Iibt good payers in the tele-
graph business as the amount of this
stuff handled hardly pays the wages
of the station master, who is usually
an operator at the small stations
along the line.

in giving up the night service the
company cuts of! the cost of maintain.
ing an operator at these stations dur
ing the night and in closing certain
o'fiices during the day it saves further
operating expenses. On the day tricks
the company can hire other men to
handle the slations and these will pro
bahly be secured at a lower rate of
wages than has been paid the opera-
tors, though they have been getting
little enough. In taking this step the
company in a measure counteracts the
effect of the increase recently granted
the telegraphers it is forced to keep
on its payrolls.

BOSTON June ii .—-In the expecta-
tion of seeing and hearing the lending
railroad authorities in New England on
the question of the proposed merger
of the Boston and Maine Railroad with
the New York. New Haven and Harp
ford Railroad. there assembled in. the
largest hearing room in the state
house today one of the most represen-
iatlvo gatherings of Massachusetts and
Boston business Inca nibubeenseen
on Beacon Hill in" fiy years. The
..ragniturc of the question affecting as
t docs, every state in New England.
and the fact that all sorts of interests.
private, business and political, are in
voivcd, gave the hearing. which‘begun
vcstcrday with a strong protest againsi
the merger. an importance seldom at-
tained by a single. piece of legislation.
Before the hearing began yesterday it
was the hope of the committee to close
it. with tho ondol' the day. even if an
evening session wm'necessnry, but at
for listening to seventeen witnesses
and having two drastic bills laid before
it, to say nothing of the opening up of
vast questions involving the welfare of
Massachusetts and Boston the commit-
tee decided that more time was neces-
sary and there were indications today
that it will be several days before the
committee is ready to report to the
legislature its findings 0n the question
which Governor Guild laid before that
body for a solution. Another reason
for prolonging the hearing was the no-
tice which the committee received that

made needed correction.

It was stated before the hearing be

requested President Lucius Tuttle, of
the Boston and Maine. to appear to-
day. and it was intimated that Richard

the merger and its possible effect on
the interests of the state.

Important Meeting Held In the
.80th Norwalk Congregation-
al Church—Proposed Union
With Methodist Protestants
and United Brethren Discuss-
ed

The meeting of the Falrfiold West
Consoclation of Congregational
Churches held at the South Norwalk

Congregational Church, yesterday, was
one of the most largely attended meet-
ings of recent yeais. Nearly ever
church was repiesouted by full dele-
gatwions

The Norwalk churches were repre-
sented by Rev. Chailes S. Macfuilsnd,
Deacon Edward Beard, Rev. George I).
Egbert, Conrad Horde and Rev
Charles J. Vahlstrom.

The churches represented were Sec-
ond Church of Bridgeport, Black Rock,
Darien, East .Norwalk. Easton, Fair-
field, Georgetown, Georgetown S‘wed-
ish Greenfield Hill. Greens Farms,
Norwalk. Ridgebury Ridgefield, South
Norwalk. Southport. Stamford, Wes-
ton, Westport and Wilton.

Rev. Louis F. Bony, of Stamfod,
was the moderator, and Rev. W. P.
Lands-rd of Westport, the scribe.

The important business of the meet-
ing was a resolution offered by Dr.
Mucfarland, on his own behalf and also
representing several other ministers of
the Consociatlon, with regard to the
necessity for reorganizing the body.
Dr. Macfarland called attention to the
fact that the present. organization does
not provide for conferences. and does
not succeed in bringing the churches
together Into fellowship.

He outlined three ways In which a
church might take action under such
unsatisfying conditions. It might with-
draw und unite with some other con-
venicnt conference. It might unite
itself with other like-minded churches
and organize a new conference. Or
the present organization might be so
constituted as to meet the deficiencies,
He preferred the latter method. His
resolution was as follows: “That a
committee be appointed to consider
such changes in th I organization and
constitution of the onsociation as will
make it more. effective in bringing the
churches into fellowship and In pro-
viding for general conferences upon
questions affecting the common life of
the churches.

The proposition was earnestly sup-
ported by Revs. George D. Edbert, W.
P. Lenders, L. F. Berry. A. W. Gerrle,
H. H. Tweedy and several others.

There was some dissent, which was
mainly voiced by Judge 1. H. Perry. of
Southport. After the discussion. howl
ever, the vote. was almost unanimous
in favor of the resolution. The fol-
lowing committee was appointed to
carry it into effect: ' .Macfarland,
Rev. Mr Egbert, Rev. C. Woodruif,
Rev. H. H. Tweedy, Rev. W. H. Gane.
Rev. F. 8 Child, Judge J. H. Perry,
Deacon Harry Quintard, of Stamford.
and A. Morehouse, of Duties. This
committee is to meet at. South Nor-
walk the first week in July.

At 6 o’clock supper was served by
a committee of ladies from the Nor-
walk and South Norwalk churches.

In the evening a general conference
was held to discuss the proposed on.
Ion of the Congregational denomina-
tion with the Methodist Protestant and
the United Brethren. The devotionai
exercises were conducted by Rev. W.
H. Gone and Rev. H. H. Tweedy. The
program and speakers woro as fol-
lows: ,

The Principles Involved—Rev. Louis
F Berry.

The Possible Disadvantages of Un-
ion-Rev. John DePeu. of Bridgeport.

The Possible Advantages of Union-
Rev Charltlfh B. Strayer.

Open Discussion.

The addresses were all vigorous and
interesting. In the open discussion
which followed, the following persons.
among others. participated: Rev. H.
H. Tweedy. Rev. W. H. Holman, Judge
Perry. Mr, Egbert, Dr. Macfarland and
John B. Iawrence.

The next step in the matter will be
taken by the individual churches of
the Consociation. The South Norwalk
church will discuss the matter on
Thursday evening of this week. After

 

meeting of the Consociatlon will be
called to put the general sentiment
of the churches into some final form
III‘III' submission to the National Coun~
c .

The Consoclation yesterday Was of
unusual interest It has long been felt
that this association of the .churches
was not serving its purposein bring-
ing the churches into association with
each other. In years past there have
been several efforts to Improve the sit-
uation. but they proved abortive. The
present attempt seems to promise suc-
cess. The committee In charge of It
consists of the stronger ministers and
laymen In the Consoclatlon and it is
expected that they will succeed In ef~
fectlng such a reorganization as will
bring about the desired result.
