Unknown German Suddenly
Goes Violently Insane. and
Tries to Make Use of an Axe
—Finaliy Overpowered and
Brought to the Norwelk
Lockup
A German, whose name is unknown
except “Henry." came to H, B. Wilson.
in Sear Hill, Wilton, about a month
ago. and asked for work on the farm.
He was from Bridgeport, and since
that time had been ’employed about the
barns. This morning he went raving
crazy, and only after a long tussle was
he overpowered. and brought to Non
walk. where he was put in the Smith
street lockup.
“He has acted peculiarly for thglast
few days " skid Alec Wilson this
morning, “and a sharp eye has been
kept on him."
Mr. Wilson intended to discharge the.
man tomorrow, but this fact was not
known to him. He had said for three
or four days that he wanted to go to
the hospital, but in his broken lan-
guage the people thought he did not
know what he was saying.
This morning the German, however.
was suddenly seized with a bad at-
dack of his trouble, and grabbed an
axe from the place. and then started
put. apparently trying to kill some-
thing that was bothering him. He is
. an exceptionally strong man, and
mighty swings were made at cows,
dogs or anything else that got in his
way. The Wilson family saw his ac-
tions. and saw the froth on his mouth.
Neighbors ware called to the assist
ance, and after sometime the man
quieted somewhat. and Alec Wilson
managed to get close enough to grab
the axe.
Four men then got hold of it, and he
gave them all one of the hardest
tussies of their lives. The raving man
was walked into the street, and every
tree or pole he came to he would try
to wrench free from the men and use
the axe. and the were finally forced
to throw him to 0 ground to get the
axe from him and bind him hand and
foot.
George Canfield. Alec Wilson and
R. E. London then put. the man In Mr.
‘. Confisld's- wagon and brought htm°to
‘. Norwalk.
Manyfpeople saw the man frothlng
' at the mouth as he was driven through
f the streets. and a large crowd quickly
’ gathered:
Application will be made for com-
mitment‘to the stateasylum. it is a
state case", and the probate court has
no jurisdiction‘in the matter. Wilton
has requested Norwulk to take neces-
, sary action for his commitment, and
. they will settle later the costs and ex-
' penses.

LIGHT HOUSE KEEPER’S
BODY RECOVERED
Chester Rowland. Was the
Fourth Member ofthe Family
. to Die in a Tragic Manner.
The remains of Chester Rowland,
keeper of the Oyster Bay lighthouse,
who was drowned on Monday evening.
were recovered yesterday afternoon
not far from the lighthouse. The body
was standing upright in the water. and
a boy in the vicinity detected the top
of the head above the water early yes-
terday afternoon. He gave information
to the authorities. and later the body
was taken from the water. There was
a deep cut on the face. under the right
eye, and this is supposed to have been
caused when Rowland fell overboard
and struck against the side of the boat,
which probably rendered him uncon-
scious. and caused him to drown.
. The widow of the deceased. and rela-
tives in South Norwalk were notified
of the finding of the body, and arrange-
ments were made to have it brought
here today on the steamer Huntington
from. Long Island.
The loss of Mr. Rowland has deeply
affected his sisters. Mrs. George
Schoch, in South Norwalk. and Mrs.
Winfield S. Grant. of Rowayton. Mrs.
Schoch has been ill for some time past.
and feels very keenly the loss of her
brother. This is the fourth member of
the family that has died in a tragic
manner. The mother. Mrs. Rowland,
was killed by a railroad train In South
Norwalk, and another brother and a
sister were drowned some Mrs ago.
The funeral of Mr. Rowland will be
held from the residence of Mr. Schocb.
No. 8 Lowe street, tomorrow afternoon
at 2 o‘clock. Rev. H. E. Wing, of

NO MONEY FOR FIRE ENGINE.
Calling of I City Meeting Considered
by Advocates of the Plan.
The movement to secure a. fire on-
gine‘for'the South Norwalk fire do-
partment has struck a snag in
board of estimate and taxation.
Chief Harold F. Clark, of the depart-
ment, who has been advocating the
purchase of an engine, and has re-
ceived considerable support, has been
given to under stand that the esti-
mate and taxation board would refuse
to make any appropriation
. The question of whether a city
meeting could go over the heads of
the board is now being figured out.
and, if it is concluded that this would
be a legal step. a special city meet-
ing may be called.

Chief of Police! William .Vollmer of
South Norwalk, received a telegram.
yesterday, from Superintendent of P0-
lice Thomas A. McQuade, of Pittsburg,
Pa, requesting photographs of four
of tlitI pickpockct suspects picked
up recently by the South Norwulk po-
lice. and full information concerning
them.
Chief Volimer sent the desired pic-
tues and information immediately,
fr it was stated in- the telegram that
to be of use. thesc things would have
to reach Plilsburg by Saturday. From
this. the chief is inclined to believe
that the suspects Wore picked up in
Pittsburg almiliarly as here.
The l‘ittsbnrg superintendent of D0-
lice, in his dcspatch. mentioned Wil-
liam West, Howard Scott. Fred
Frieiid and George Vine. West was
an Englishman find not known by any
other name. Scott gave biamnuo as
Louis Burke. Friend said he was Fred
Meyers, and George Vine described
himself as George Cline. Vine was
the bank of the crowd, and had more
than 8200 in a belt.
Friend's home is in Pittsburg. He
was apparently betWeeu 60 and
was apparently between 50 and and
60, and gray haired. A New York de-
tective. who was in South Norwalk
earlier this week, said he recognized
Friend us “Gentleman Jim."
‘No mention was made in the Pitts
burg despatch of Harry Blight, the
fifth member of the crowd picked up
here. Blight claimed his home to be
in Hartford. The police looked up the
address, and found that a young wo-
man of the name of Blight lived at
the street number he gave. She had
a brother, but more was not learned
about him from Hartford.
The South Norwalk police Were al-
so informed that the suspects picked
up here were at Rockville during‘that

Whole Electric Tract South of
Greenwich Coos Dark—~Two
Overhead Main Feed Cables
Fell on Other Wires and
Caused Short Circuit
The New York. New Haven and
Hartford electric system was put out
of business. last night, by the ground-
ing of the two main food wires from
the power house at Greenwich, which
necessitated getting out all the steam
locomotives in the yards. The sta-
tion lights went out over the whole
electric tract south of Greenwich.
The power for both trolley lines and
the railroad system is supplied to the
secondary stations at Cos Cob and
points west by two overhead main feed
cabin from the power house at
Greenwich. Shortly after 6 o'clock
these two cables. according to an cx~
planatlon gluon at the power house,
fell to the ground across some other
wires, and caused a short circuit that
tied up the system. The power came
on intermittently for a time, but the
trains stopped at intervals. and torpe-
dos were constantly exploded. Pas-
sengers on the trains soon had enough
of the excitement, and the stea loco-
motives ware brought out. Then the
trains moved with long delays. (icing
into New York city they were switch-
ed to the New York Central tracks.
and brought in by the Centrals mo-
tors.
First reports had it that the electric
storm had caused the interruption of
the feed wires, but at the main power
house at Greenwich. those in charge
said the storm had nothing to do with
the fall of the cables. it was not until
after 11 o'clock that any sort of a
schedule was established, and trains
began to come into the Grand Central
Station with regularity.
Train No. 65, from Stamford, which
should have left there at 7:05, did not.
got away until 8:05, because of the
stalled trains ahead. When it finally
pulled out it got as far as Larchmont.
where at 9:10 the power gave out aloo-
g‘cthor. The run to Larchmont had
not been made without a number of
stops, which were punctuated in each
case with the sharp explosion of a
torpedo. This soon had the passen-
gers on the jump.
At Larchmont the train came to a
dead stop. and all the lights went out.
leaving the train in total darkness.
which lasted until 10:10, when the
train finally pulled out, to crawl slow-
ly down to the Grand Central nearly
three hours late. Not. a train from
New York had passed it until it react».
ed New Rochelle. Then a number of
stalled trains passed it in rapid suc‘
cession.
‘ The train despntcher's ofiice at New
York was flooded with inquiries from
persons waiting for friends. but appar‘
ently the train deapatcber was as ig-
ncrant of the cause of delay as were
those who asked for information. The
only ones who were luck were the
passengers on the Knickerbocker him.
ited, which leaves Boston at. 1 o'clock.
This train is one of the fast ones, and
is due in New York at 6 o‘clock. it
arrived on time, just before the trou-
ble began.
it was the last train to get in with‘
out delay, and only twelve trains had
been got out of the station before 6

, The finest oyster set which the oy-
stermen have seen in years is now
growing rapidly on the great natural
oyster bed off the Bridgeport harbor,
extending from the Steeplechase island
breakwater down past Point No Point
to Stratford light. The same satisfac-
tory condition prevails on the natural
beds all down the Sound. and as far
to the eastward as New Haven, and the
“Natural Growtbers" as well as tho
planters. are delighted with the pros
pect this season.
The State inspector of Natural 0!-
star Beds, Captain William A. Lewis.
made a careful examination of the
conditions on the big Bridgeport and
Sfratford natural beds yesterday, and
he was surprised to find such indica-
tiona of a remarkable crop as were
apparent even at a cursory glance. The
more carefully Captain Lewis stud
the set. the more satisfied he became
that this crop this year will be a phe-
nomenal one.
The records of the weather kept by
Voluntary Observer Jennings. of
Bridgeport, show that June and July
have been the hottest months in cor-
responding periods for many years.
and as it is during June and July that
the oyster spot is most in need, of
