Stephen Hovnk Painfully Burn-
,eti List Night by Explosion
Caused by Connecting Bai-
Iery With An Electric Light
Socket at His Home

Thirteen year old Stephen Novak.
son of a railroad avenue saloon promise.
for of that name, was frightfully in-
Jured, and narrowly escaped death at
about 8 o'clock last evening, in a pc-
culiar manner.

As near as his ‘ parents can figure
out. a dry cell battery exploded in his
hands. The accident occurred at the
family home at 32 Franklin street, and
it is supposed that younk Novak at-
tempted to connect wires attached to

 

 

the battery’with an electric light
socket.
There was a resultant explosion

that was heard all over the neighbor-
hood. Mrs. Novek was putting her
other children to bed at the. time, and,
frightened by the explosion, she rush-
ed to her son’s room, where she found
the lad with his hands and face frlsht-
fuliy lacerated and covered with
blood.

"Momma, mamma, I've been killed."
he sobbed, and a moment later be-
came unconscious. Dr. H. C. Shercr
was called to dress his Wounds, and
about midnight the boy was taken to
the Norwalk Hospital in the ambu-
lance. '

The flesh was stripped from young
Novak's hand and fingers worse than
anywhere else about his person, al-
though the other injuries were also
painful.
hand was split open. and his face and
chest were cut and bled profusely.
The bay remained unconscious for a
considerable time.

Young Novak ls somewhat of an

electrical genius, and some time ago

rigged up a private telephone with a
playmate who lives nearby.

Shortly before last evening's acci-

. dent his mother had left him readin

and it was with. great surprise the
she heard the explosion. The house
was filled with smoke, but no fire re-
sulted.

The battery was an ordinary dry
cell, apparently, although it seemed
that it must have been filled with

“”"sbme ex loslvo, unless something also

figured "the deal. It Was supposed
at first at young Net'ak had a rail-
road torpedo and set it oh with an
electric wire. No remains of a tor-
pedo Were found, however.

At the hospital this afternoon, it
was stated that he is doing nicely.

ERDOS FINED $50 AND COSTS.

Found Guilty oi Having Liquor to
Sell, But Takes on Appeal.

Joseph Erdos, whose place on Con-
necticut avenue was raided Saturday
night. by Constable John E Reynolds.
and Special Otlicers Gibson, Cockefur
and Gladstone, WnS fined 350, this
morning, in the South Norwalk police
court, by Judge Joseph It. Taylor.

Erdos refused to plead to the charg-
es of having a reputation of being the
proprietor of a place where liquor is
sold, and with having liquor on his
place and with selling.

’ Judge Taylor overruled the defend-
ant‘s demurrer, and fined him $25 each
on two counts. Erdos wanted his
case tried by the Common Pleas court.
it is understood, and appealed from
Judge Taylor’s decision.

When the oflicers descended on the
place they found No (asses of beer
and a. jug of whiskey, which is said to
have been hidden under the mattress
of a bed. The oflicers also belieVo
that Erdos hustled a considerable
quantity of liquor info the woods. Li
quor Prosecutor Tammany has been
receiving complaints against‘ Erdos
for quite a long time.

Italian Workmen Tapped s Sub-
terranean Lake and Twenty-
iive of Them Lost Their Lives

BERNE. Swltserlsnd, July 24.—
There was a. frightful accident early
today, in the Isoetschberg Tunnel, in
the Berne Alps, which resulted in the
deaths of twenty-five Italian work-
men.

The men were drilling inaide the
tunnel. Without warning their tools
pierced the wall that separated them
from a subterranean river or lake, the
existence of which was not known.
The wall gave way, and a torrent of wi-
ter and mud rushed into the tunnel
and filled it. All of the workmen were
drowned. Fortunately, owing to the
early hour, only comparatively few
men had entered the tunnel. The die-
aster occurred 2,400 yards from the
northern entrance. It is believed that

the men tapped the Kander, a river
which flows through the mountains
above the tunnel. The water now
chokes the tunnel within 1,000 yards
.of the entrance.

 

 

NORWALK’S WATER SUPPLY.

 

Reservoirs Not Raised to Any Extent
Yet. and New Connection Bo-
lng Put in.

A water commissioner of Norwalk
stated to a Sentinel reporter this
morning that the rains which we liave
had of late have not affected the reser-
voirs as yet. and probably will not
until much more falls.

From the commissioners' office and
other sources it was rumored that the
reservoirs raised a little, but this
amount varied too much for accurate
measurement. It is possible that if
the streams which come from up in
New York state have received rains as
we have here, the reservoirs may yet
start to fill.

One of the commissioners stated if
a heavy shower should strike the wat-
er sheds the reservoirs would ever-
flow over night Anyway, the water
is not coming fast enough at present
to keep up the use. '

Work is well under way of making
the connection from the twelveinch
water main of South Norwalk to the
sixteen~inch main, of Norwalk. A large
number of people watch the operation,
which is very interesting. The A. S.
Smith Manufacturing Company, of
Newark, N. J., have patented an ap-
paratus, with which a. water main as
large as 24 inches can be tapped and
a connection or gate put in without
shutting off the water.

The connection is being made just
beyond the New Canaan Four Cor-
ners, and when the South Norwalk
water lsturned on It will cost $1,000
for six and twothirds days. or any
part of this time, and 8150 per day
after that time.

Owing to the recent rains some peo-
ple state that the use of the water
should be decidedly less, because it is
not necessary to do any watering what
ever, as had been done until the last
week. when all outside use was stop-
ped. ,

MR. POLLARD’S WHEEL STOLEN.

 

 

Taken From in From of the Norwalk
Club. Yesterday Morning.

Nothing has been heard of the bi-
cycle belonging to David Pollard. of
Norwalk, which was stolen yesterday
morning. The machine was a Columbia
chain affair with a cushion frame and
a coaster brake. Mir. Pollard left it
standing in front 0f the Norwalk Club
for a few minutes, and when he return-
ed it was gone. ‘

He was of the opinion that some of
his friends had played a joke on him.
but when it did not return he report-
ed the ‘matter to the police, still think-
ing it was a joke. But as nothing has

it has been deliberately stolen. The
police are looking out for the case, but
have learned nothing as yet.

This is the third time this thing has
happened in the same place within the
past two years, and people had better
take warning and watch their bikes
while on business.

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 24.—-An
imperial irade Issued this morning

ordains the assembling of a Chamber
of Deputies in accordance with a con-
stitution which has been elaborated
by the sultan. The irade has been
communicated to the Vaiis and the dis-
trict lieutenant governors with the
necessary orders for the holding of
elections.

The constitution which the irade
now makes effective is practically the
one worked out in 1876. The grand
viserlmmediately took steps to carry
out the orders of his imperial master.
He addressed to all. the provincial auv
thorities concerned a circular tele-
gram convening the Chamber of D?
puties, in which he pointed out that
the method of cormiug the chamber
is determined by an orgundic statute
which, according to official communi-
cation, is an “illustrious institution of
the sultan."

Startling us was the sudden dismis-
sal of Herid Pasha from the grand
visiership 0f Turkey and the appoint-
ment of Said Pasha in his place, this
step was as nothing compared to the
sensation created in all quarters this
morning by the official announcement
that the sultan had decided to convoke
a parliament.

it was felt that in view of the'gen-
eral revolt in the army. unprecedented
in the history of the Turkish empire.
some change was inevitable and that
far-reaching measures of reform in the
central governmem were bound to be
inaugurated. But the drastic action of
the sultan, who took the reins into his
own hands and by the stroke of a pen
_suddenly yielded to the demands of the
Young Turks and restored the consti-
tution of 1876, has taken the palace
clique. the members of the diplomatic
corps. in fact, the entire population
of Constpntinoplc completely by sur-
prise. . .

The immediate cause of the sultnn's
raising of the white flag was the re
celpi‘of a telegram from the Alban-
ians 0f Uskub to his majesty inform-
ing him that they had taken their oath
to favor the T's-establishment of the
Constitution. This message landed
like a thunderbolt at the Yildis Kiosk.
The sutlan had believed that he could
depend upon the Albanians under all
circumstances.

Herid Paella. who is an Abanias.
had fostered this conceit. When the
facts became known, the wrath of the
sultan fell upon his favorite, who was
sumnioned to the palace and dismissed
on the spot.

The former grand vizier, Said Pasha,
was then summoned to the palace. He
gave the sultan an insight into the real
gravity of the situation in the couul
try, and said that unless the abuser
and intrigues, which had brought the
country to the verge of ruin, came to
an end and some steps were taken
towards granting a measure of consti-
tuiiona'l govemment. the situation was
hopeless. The attitude of the Alban-
ians bad So disconcerted the sultan
that Said Pasha found him in a mood
to make concessions. and the pressure
exerted by other men who had been
long absent from the councils at the
Trilace completed the conversion which
resulted in the historic irade of to-

day.

VIENNA. July 24.—lt is reported
here that the towns of Monastir, Us
hub and Salonlki are in the hands of

l BELGRADE, Servla, July 24.-The
entire garrison at Uskub is repfltod
to have mutinled, and Albanians are
said to be marchhg upon the city, al-
though there is nothing to show whe-
ther they propose joining the mutiny or
attempting to quell it. -

, Cipher dispatches received here
from the European vilayets of Macedo-
nia declare that the Young Turks are
complete masters of the situation.

All the Turkish authorities have sur-
rendered themselves into their hands.
The publication at. Kossovo, European
Turkey, 'of the Sultan's proclamation

a salute of 21 guns by the fort. There
is great rejoicing everywhere.

WHITE PLAINS. N. Y.. July 24.—
The home of George L, Nichols, a
lawyer of 49 Wall street, who lives on
the Bedford Road. near Ketonah. West-
chester County, was robbed. Wednes-
day night. while the family slept. The
burglars are believed to be the same
gang that have been traveling by auto-
mobile and looting country mansions
along the Sound in'Nsw York and Con-
necticut recently. The burglars stole
jewelry. silver and clothing valued at
about 85.000. '

Wednesday afternoon a man called
at iheNlchols residenCennd asked the
coachman if they, kept dogs on the
place. When the coachman said they
did not. the stranger went to the house
and asked for something to eat. A
man answering the description of the
beggar was afterward seen at Katonah
in a cheaplooking auto. It is now be-
lieved by Shortil- bane that he was a
spy for the'burglars. And was looking
over the ground. -

The home -of J. H. Seaman. which
was formerly owned by Charles Park,
at linrriaon-on-tlfe-Sound. was also
looted. Wednesday night, by burglars,
who got silverware valued at 8900.

Several Weeks ago robbers looted

Damp Weather Causes Mosquitos to
Work Overtime.

The mosquitoes cattle down, or came
up or came over upon this old town
by the million, last. night and the night
before, and added to the cumulative
capacity for nastiness It) the weather.
which fully shared the honors of the
evening. Perhaps the rain of Tuesday
nigt was needed for the. crops, but if
any one had ever thought of the side
crop of mosquitos first was to spring
up, there would not have been so much
solicitation for those other crops. It
was the worst night .of the summer,
which is saying a great deal. There
was no peace for any one, only un-
der a mosquito net, and there was
not any breeze. If you tried to Sleep
out. you ore eaten ill). filld if YOU
tried to sleep in. you were smothered.
At least that was the experience of
some persons who tried it both ways.
and they have not figured out yet
which was the worst. The thunder
shower which came along after mid.
night did not give any relief, and the
rain probably propagated more mos-
quitoes for tonight, to take the place
of those we killed last night.

HAYMAKERS HAVE A SURPRISE.
Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Rows, Recent-
ly Married, Entertain Guests.

A large niimber of the members of
Cockeone Hayioft met at their quar
ters in Wall street, last evening, and
then marched to the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Frederick Rowa, of Spring Hill,
who were recently married, and gave

them an old fashioned serenade.

Mr. Rowe is a Popular member of
this organisation, but the serenade
was a complete surprise to him. The
famous “Zobo band" of fh Hayihak-
eli’ “barnyard" Was prose , and its
"beautiful tones” were he rd for a
long distance. .-

The members did not use their cos-
tumes, owing to the extreme heat, but
their appearance brought out a big
crowd of children to see them on their
march. Among the features of the
evening was the playing of a drum by
Ii‘rsnk Gilbert, and he is seriously con-
sidering the proposition of joining the
Wheeler and Wilson Band.

Music and singing was enjoyed, as
'was a fine spread of refreshments lat;
ter in the evening. All report one of

has gained fame for its musical mem.

oarrvssuao, Pn.. July 24.——An
aii'night search throughout Camp

Hayes. where the ten thousand me

of the National Guard of Pennsylvania
have been in camp for a week, and
which was last night visited by a ter-
ric electricalnnd wind storm, shows
that three soldiers were struck dead
by lightning and that nearly a halt
hundred other persons were injured by
the electrical bolts or were otherwise
hurt. it was probably the wildest
night the historical battleground has
experienced since the memorable July
days of 1863.

Those killed we're:

Corporal S, Milton Garver, Company
C. Tenth Regiment, Uniontown.

James A. Barbe, Company K. Tenth
Regiment. Waynesburg.

Private Clyde Morrison, Company D.
Sixteenth Regiment.

The dead were members of the Sec-
ond Brigade, composed of regiments
from the western part of the state,
most of the storm damage occurring in
the section occupied by them.

The cots of the hospital tent are illi-
ed with the injured, some of whom are
women and children. who had been
visiting the camp.

The tent which Governor Stuart had
been occupying during the entsamp.
ment was blown down and the gover-
aor and his guests were buried under

to canvas, but managed to crawl out.
With the governor were Charles B.
Mann. of the State Railroad Commis-
sion; Col. Good. of the First Regiment,

Philadelphia. and Capt. P. l. Weaver. .

formerly of the First Regiment. in an
adjoining tent were the sisters of Gov-
ernor Stuart, Miss Cora Stuart, _of
Harrisburg. and Mrs. ixschler. of Phila-
delphia. and Mrs. Charles Mann, of
Philadelphia. They were, there for the
evening band concert and could not
get back to town before the storm
broke. it was with the greatest diffi-
culty that as tent they occupied was
kept from collapsing.

he tell iron dagitsif in front of the
tents of Governor Stuart and General
Wiley was struck by llghtnln , stun-
ning several members of th gover-
nor's staff.

The three guardsmcn were killed in
different places. Barbe was sitting in
his tent with another soldier when he
was enveloped in a blue flame follow
ing a terrific crash and he fell dead.The
other soldier, Paul Neal. was only
stunned.

In each case of those killed the new
army pnttes furnished just before the

men went into camp were torn from »

their limbs, the steel rib being expos-
ed.

Some of the oflicers believed
steel attracted the lightning.

The storm broke suddenly. The
wind blew with almost cyclonic force.
the rain fell in torrents, and the light.
niug was the severest seen in years.
Although the hour was getting late.
the camp still c ntained many visitors
who had been .layed by the jollifica—
tions which always obtain in camp the
night before the regiments leave fer
home. th Second Brigade is situated
in the lowest field of the camp ground
and every company street was soon
a running stream. Everywhere tents
were collapsing and lightning bolts
were striking in many places. For a
time utter confusion reigned, but as
the storm passed off the officers
brought about order and began a. sys-
tematic search for injured guardsmen.
who were removed to the hospital tent
and given attention by regimental sur-
geons, assisted by physicians summon-
ed from the town of Gettysburg.

The trolley line between the camp
ground and the town was put out of
service by' the storm and many of the
visitors were compelled to spend the
night in the Y. . C. tents. Among
them were women and children. who
almost went into hysterics during the
height of the storm.

Garver was with friends in the guard
tent when he was killed. The bolt
threw his companions in a heap. so
vcrely shocking all of them. Then it
shot along the ground thirty feet to
the tent of Chief Musician Morrison.
wr ing the tent and stunning Mor-
riso 4,0hristler and their wives. It.
tore ‘Christler's coat in shreds and
twisted his alto born into a. shapeless
mass. An instant later fifty yards
away another bolt struck Barbe, kill-
ing him. Hls'watcb stopped at 9:26.
Private Morrison was standing at the
hospital tent when he was struck.
There were seven or eight patients in
it, sufferers from the best. More than
300 tents wereblown down. Of the
ninety-six [tents of Battery B. but eight
remained standing.

Paul K. Morley,.of the First Regiment.
was killed by lightning while on regi-
mental guard duty. .

Bridgeport Man Wallet Illin-
ages for Loss of Goods In
Freight House F Ire, and (uh-4
er Shippers Are Awaiting the
Outcome of the Trial With In-
iercsi

A suit brought by L. H. Treadwell.
a Bridgeport man, against the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Rail-
road Company. has been transferred,
upon the application of defendant's «4
counsel. from a justice of the peace to
the Bridge t city court, and prone
fees to be it interesting one.

The claim of Treadweil is only for
about 840 for merchandise he charges
was destroyed in the South Norwalk
freight yard fire.

0n the face of it. the case is not an
Important one. but its complexion
changes when it is considered that on“
the outcome will depend the course to
be followed in many other claims for
loss in this fire. The railroad company.
it is understood, will fight. this case
tooth and nail, maintaining its right»
as a common carrier. The material in
question was shipped in Bridgeport for
South Norwalk.

Under the law, there is a limit of
time after the arrival of goods at desu
tinati that the railroad company can
be h responsible for loss. One of
the chief points in this case and the
other expected ones is that most of
the records and papers were destroyed
in the tire. Treadwell has retained
Keogh and Candee. of South Norwalk.
to defend him. 2

lmmdiately after the big fire, which '
completely wiped out the freight house
and its contents. many claims were put
in for damages and the loss of the,,of-
Ilee records has made the task of
straightening out the task a hard one.
A great deal of merchandise of a wide
variety and including everything from
straw hats to gssoione motors was des-
htroyed. The total loss was estimated
at 875.000., *
