Formal Opening oiNew Queri-

ers in Rewaytou Avenue Cel-
ebrated Last Night With fiend-
some Decorations, Music and
Refreshments

The formal opening of the Roway-
ton Yacht Club's new club house, in
Rowayton avenue, Rowayton, last
night, was one of the swellest func-
tions of its kind ever held within tiie
borders of classic Norwalk. and the
affair was attended by the elite of the
town. ,

The club house, which is a most
handsome and commodious one, has
been remodeled and repainted during
the past summer, and has broad, shady
piazzas overhanging the banks of
Five Mile River. It is an ideal spot
for a club. and the house is now a
decided ornament to the community
and one which will doubtless bring to
the harbor many visiting yachts from
other clubs. The dock has been re-
built and a new float placed there.

The exterior of the house was re-
splendent, last evening, in red, white
and hide electric lights, hung in tea-
toons and clusters, making the struc-
ture resemble fairyiand. With the
lamps were strung flags of all nations
and various signalcodes, presenting a
very handsome appearance. Throng-
ed as it was with brilliantly dressed
ladies, resplendid with lights, the
strains of most delightful music cm-
ailating from it, the whirring of autos
bearing the club‘s guests to and from
the reception, made a scene such as
quiet Rowayton has never before 'ex-
perienoed. During theevening about
300 guests visited the place and on.
joyed the‘ fine hospitality of the new
club.

The guests were received by the of-
ficers of the club, who conducted them
about. the well appointed structure
which rosembfid a tropical garden.

 

such was the ofusion of palms and
other plants need with artistic ef-
fect about then rooms. The beautiful
moonlight. on the rippling waters of
the river and harbor. and the delight.

wide and comfortable, among the
{nest frequented portions of the build-
ng,

which is one of the finest, it being

‘ DIES SUDDENLY
Was it Practicing Physician and

Former Postmaster ot the (lily
oi South Norweik

 

 

Word was receivad in South Nor-
walk, this morning, of the death of
Dr. George Willis Benedict. of South
Norwalk, at the snuflarium in West»
port, where he had been undergoing
treatment for nervous trouble for the
past three months. He had been an
invalid for over a year past, and his
death. although occurring from heart
trouble, was not unexpected.

Dr. Benedict was born in this place
iifty- five years ago, and had always
resided here. He was unmarried. He
was a graduate of Yale academic de-'
partment, class of ’74. and later took
a course in the Medical College in
New York City. He practiced inedi-
cine in South Norwalk until 1885, when
he was named by President Grover
Cleveland as postmaster of the. city 01
South Norwalk. iie held this other
for four years and a half, being one
ceeded. in 1000. by the present post
niastei, Edmund F. Crowe. ‘

He was a man of kindly disposition
considerate of others. and made many
friends during his business and polit
icai career, and many will regret to
learn of his demise. He is survived
by one sister, Mrs. James L. Russell
with whom he had always resided ii
the family home in West avenue.

It is expected that the funeral will
be held Monday, although arrange
ments have not been definitely com-
pleted.

nor William J. Slocum, permanent rec.
tor of the Immaculate Conception
Church, of this city, and one of the
most eloquent preachers in the Roman
Catholic faith of the slate, is critically,

ney is at the bedside, this afternoon;
Fr. Slocum has been ill for some
months and recently worth the St.
Vincent Hospital, In New York, for
treatment and since returning home
he has sufferedintcnsely. There are
at present two specialists with him.
but it is feared the end is not for dis-
taut.

Fr. Slocum was a native of Winsted.
and his natal day was Feb. 0. 1851. At»
ter receiving his public school training
he attended St. Bonaventure College
and was graduated in 1876. He was

ven, St. Mary's, at Norwalk. and was
made rector of the immaculate Con-
ception in lbilb. Last December he
was honored by his holiness by being
appointed a domestic prelale. As a
prenclivr low clergymen in the state
have showu such signal ability. and
he was in great demand as a speaker
at public functions. few of which he
attended, owing to his health and the
cxuciions of his pastoral duties.

RAILROAD WATER

Supply Locomotives in South
Norwelk, Yesterday Aller-
noon ‘

The railroad company's water tank
in South Main street_ was full, yester-
tlayInoon. and at 6 o’clock there was
only eighteen inches of water in it.
There were two or three locomotives
at a time during the afternoon taking
water from the seven- -inch stand pipes
at the bridge. The intake of four-inch
pipe into the tank Was not sufficient to
keep the tank full so that engines
could get the supply of water needed.

Baggagemnster Ira Iii. Petty com-
municated with the railroad officials,
in New Haven. asking if water could
not be secured in Bridgeport or stem.
ford, and in consequence, a bulletin
was issued that engines should take
water only during the day time in
South Norwalk. This would give the
tank a chance to fill up during the
night.

The bulletin also stated that trains
at night would get. water from the
slandpipes at Rowayton. No water
has been drawn out of Cliasmar’ a pond
during the past week, and in conse-
quence it has filled up a little Pump
ing operations were resumed there last
night, and will be continued as long
as the supply lasts. The railroad com
pany is finding l difficult to get water
in other cities than South Norwalk,
owing to scarcity of the supply.

CANDY AND- FRUIT
" STORE ROBBED

Louis lessen, of Main Street,
Norwalk, Discovered Visit of
Thieves This Morning

 

 

Thieves broke' into a little candy
and fruit store in Main street, Nor-
walk, between Cross and School
streets, last night, and stole several
dollars' worth of candy, cigarettes. ice
cream and soda water, and smashed
a small slot machine, taking the incli-
uy in it, estimated by the owner of
the store, Louis Jessen, to be about $5.

.losseu closed his place of business
at to o'clock last night and discovered
the robbery at 7 o’clock this morning
when he opened up. He reported the
matter to the police, but thus far the
thieves have not been located. ,

The job has the eamiarks of good
sized boys' or young men's work. An
entrance to the building was secured
by smashing in the screen of a win-
dow at the rear of the building and
about ten or twelve feet from the
ground. Once inside the culprits were
very deliberate. ’i‘liey ate ice cream
from dishes at a table, drank soda
from glasses anti had a good time
generally. The candy and cigarettes
taken were probably worth about $10.
Dainty selections were made among
the various trays in the show cases.

The fruit stand was formerly own-

ed from town a short time after an
llullan barber was murdered in Nor-
walk.
