Amos McCarthy Fell from Cab.
in East iiorvia'lk. Last Even-
ing, and filed Several Hours
Later in the Norwalk Hospital
—-ilis lildneys Ruptured By
Sharp Plckets in a Fence

 

Amos L. McCarthy, 9. strapping young
locomotive fireman, just learned, met
with seed fatal accident, about 6:30
o'cloolo last night, at East Norwalk.
and died at 11:50 last evening at the
Norwalk Hospital, where he was tak-
en from the South Norwalk railroad
station in the ambulance.

McCarthy was conscious as death
approached, and his solicitude for his
young wife was touching to the hospi-
tal nurses. He implored them not to
let. her know about the accident, and
it was not believed that be fully real-
ized the seriousness of his condition.
The Rev. Father McCarthy, one of tho
eurates of St. Mary's Roman Catholic
church, of Norwalk, was sent for. and
administered the extreme unctlon.

The dead man lived at 147 St. Anne
avenue, New York city, where tele-
graph messages were sent informing
McCarthy's wife of the unfortunate
accident. .

Death was due to internal injuries,
the dead man having had both of his
kidneys punctured. Ho 8180 had otn
or injuries, but these of themselves
would not have caused death. They
consisted of a scalp woumi, a lacerat-
ed shoulder and various other bruises.

Just how the accident occurred will
probably remain an. insolvable mys-
tery. McCarthy was fireman on freight
train No. 365, bound from New Haven
to New York, and it is supposed that
feeling faint, he went to the side of
his cab, and swoonlng, pitched head.
long. landing on the sharp picket
fence, though not actually impaling
him. He was picked up and taken on
board his train. A stop was first made
at the East Norwalk depot, and lie
was then taken to South Norwalk.

Another theory is that
leaned out to look at shot journal and
forgot about .sfepce alongside the

Conductor Garfield Had Hard Work
Collecting Passenger-’3 Fare.

There was considerable excitement
last night, when Joe Christiane, an

italian, who resides in the small col
ony just beyond Pent. Swamp. got on
the 12:10 Westport.car from Not-walk.
in charge of Motor-man Thomas Smith
and Conductor Earle ll. Garfield. When
Garfield went after his fare. a trans
for which was useless was passed out
to him. iGarfleld told Christiane that
the transfer was ‘no good. and Chris
tisne, who was employed at the car
barns for a long time. thought he ought
to take it.

Quite an argument. followed and Joe
then pulled out two $10 bills and pre
sented them as his' fare. Conductor
Garfield handed one back and gave
higt his,S9.95 change for the other
bl .4 . ,, ‘

Joe then got mad for some reasfit,
and made all kinds of threats to Gar~
field, who was not dauuted by them
in the least. Joe got off the car when
he came to his home, and reminded
the conductor with not a few words
that he would be looking for him when
the car came back.

Sure enough, when the car returned
Joe was standing in the middle of the
tracks, with live women and two men,
holding on him. He was dancing‘about
in great style, and. when the car was
brought to a stop he was anxious to
fight.

After some time and hard work he
was quiet down and removed from the
tracks, so that the car was able to
proceed. Joe had. taken off his coat
and was evidently ready for a pitched
bai'tle.

The matter has been reported to
the NorWIlk police.

MORE OIL iN WALL STREET.
Second Coating. Gives it a Hard. Firm
Surface.

Wall street. from the railroad tun-
nel to the Norwalk postofllcc, has
been treated to another coating of oil.
and is now hard and firm, and in excel

lent condition.

The other application which was put
on about a month ago, by Joseph Cor-
nell, did not suit him, and he has put
this application on free of charge.

There are a few bumps in the road.
and in a few places the trolley tracks
are somewhat higher than the road
bed. but other than these few defects.
the road is the best in the city. People
are becoming aware of. this fact. and
are having the' same treatment in front
of their residences.

All down Mill Hill on both sides has
been thoroughly oiled and is.ln fine
shape. Water street has been treated
likewise by‘a few of the business men,
and many'other streets are being oil.

Harry Smith, a well known young
man of South Norwalk, had a barren
escape from serious injury Tucsda:
morning in Havilsnd street

When James E. Hubbcll, of Nor-
walk, went down Washington street
in his automobile. tiribeknown to him
the young man, who was on a bicycle,
took hold of the machine and was get-
ting a tow.

When Mr. Hubhell got in liavlland
street. he discovered the bicyclist. and
lust then the wheel must have hit a
stone, for the young man was thrown
heavily from his bicycle. When he
fell his head narrowly escaped from
being run over by the rear wheel of
the auto, which was brought to a
quick stop.

.The bicycle was run over and the
front wheel smashed. and the young
mail was bruised. His clothing was
torn, and he also received two bad cuts
on his leg.

one brought by C. ii. Child and Eliza—
bcth J. Child, of Rye, Westchester

Sigsaway and Clara, his wife, who was
formerly Clara Lonchak, widow of
John Lonehak. The Chllds seek from
the Sigsawaye damages to the total
amount of 8250 on each of two counts.

very verbose way of explaining to a
court that a debt is owed by one per-

liuck in October. i906. so the least
wordy of the counts explains, the. dc-
fendauts made application for a li-
course for the sale of spirituous sud
intoxicating liquors, rhino wine and
elder, for a saloon they intended to
open up in the town of Norwalk. lint
the county commissioners saw them
first. heard a remonstrunce and re-
fused to grant the license. 'i‘hereupon.
being aggrievcd at the refusal of their
application. the petitioners appealed to
the civil superior court. »

llut it takes money to fight an up
peal through the court, and so the
Sigsaways looked around for some
friend to help them finance the appeal.
Then the Chllds appeared on the
scene. it was mutually agreed. in
writing. that the Chllds were to push
the appeal. and that the Slgssways.
or rather. that Mrs. Sigsaway was to
pay half the sum expended. So the
appeal was taken, the court heard the
contention. and, nobody knows what
the court did with the petition. except
to surmise that the commissioners
were upheld in their refusal.

Anyway. the Childs allege they
spent over $200.for costs and counsel
fees anti yet have so far been utterly
nimble to get anything in the way of
money out of Mrs. Sigsaway. They
have attached property of Hrs. Slgs-
away to South hitwwolk.

WOOOHAVEN HOTEL

ital an, in Prosperous Circum-
stances. the Victim of Black
Hand ,Gang .

NEW YORK. August 13.-—-Ambush'
ed in a lonely spot. known as “blunder-
ers' Field," on the Lincoln road, Flat
bush. 1; .l.. late last night. Pietro Bar
lllu, a well-to 0 hotel keeper of Wood
haven. was it lacked and killed by a
number of men. Bat-ills is thougth to
have gone to the place to keep an ap-
pointment, as a letter was found on
his person. seemingly written in blood
which was believed to have been writ-
ten by members of the Black Hand.
Barlliu rode to the scene on a bicycle
and carried a magazine revolver.
which be nearly emptied in a deeper-
ate defense. Persons nearby heard
shots, and rushing to the pi cc saw
men fleeing across the fields. Barllla
was found dead with four stab wounds
in his breast and back and tw0 bullet
“wounds. The slaycrs were evidently
frightened away before they could rob
the victim, if that. was their motive, as
a large roll of bills and a gold watch
were left. The police have taken into
custody Ontonia Dclmarto. a cousin of
Barilla. From several letters found in
the dead man's pockets it seems cer-
tain that Barilla was a victim of a
Black Hand plot. The police assert
that the same band that hacked and
hewed a man to pieces several months
ago and dumped the dismembered
body wrapped in oil cloth near the
scene of last. night's killing, is respon-
sible for Barllla's death.

Probable That New Haven lioad

Line Direct to Battery—Tolls
Exacted, for lies of Grand

muting Business, lie Tells
Commission

NEW YORK, August lit—The possi-
bility that the New York, Now-Haven
and Hartford railroad will become a
bidder for a subway franchise in this
city was indicated yesterday by Presi-
dent Charlea S. Mellon, of that road,
at a hearing before the public service
commission here. Mr. Melleu appear-
ed in connection with the New York
and Port Chester railroad franchise
matter, witnesses being examined in
answer to a complaint that the Part
Chester company has failed to proceed
with the construction of the line as its
hanchise provides.

After President Mellen had explain-
ed that the delay was caused by the
necessity of awaiting the decision of
the New York court of appeals on the
validity of the franchise of the New
York, Wcstchester and Boston road,
a proctically parallel line, the wit-
ness'oxplained that the New Haven
company. to handle properly its sub-
urban trafflc. must secure an entrance

 

 

change of cars,

Mr. Mellcn said that he did , not
believe that there could ever be a
thoroughly satisfactory development
of the New liaven's commuting busi-
nesg unless trains could come right
straight through to their destination,
whether that was the Battery or City
Hall or elsewhere.

Mr. Mellen added that he had heard
of late that the public service com-
mission had power to compel com-
panies to make connections and es-
tablish through rates. if that was
correct. he said. perhaps the New
llaven might some day' make an ap-
plicatlon to the commission. ’

An interesting point was brought
out. when” Commissioner Eustlc asked
President Mellon if the public service
commission could lay out a subway
for the east side, say along Second or
Third avenue. the New Haven road

dent Mellen replied:

“Mr. Commissioner: “1 did not ex-
pect you were going to ask me to
touch off dynamite here today. But
i will say that we must find some way
of getting our passengers into the
heart of New York, to their destina-
tions." ‘

Much interest was aroused by Mr.
Mellcn's intimation that the New Ha-
ven under certain conditions might be
come a bidder for the construction of a
subway route. timber reference to
which was made in his later testimony.

Mr. Mcllen testified that he thought
that within two years after the legal
difficulties are disposed of. the Port
Chesti-nWestchcstér road could be
completed.

“The road will be financed." he said.
"by the issuance of its own securities
in the that instance, supposedly to be
cashed by the New Haven company,
anti to remain in its treasury. Our
board of directors thought it was ad-
visable to have an additional mute
into and out, of the city of New York.
We. have troubles in other directions
which i would not care to air in public,

route from Mt. Vernon to a joint in the
city in connection with the subways or
otherwise, because today the more bus-
iness we do from certain commuting
points in New York state to the Grand
Central station the worse we are 01!.
Our tolls absorb practically all the rev-
enu of the New Haven road in this
business. if the subway can take our
business down town or even less, as
we hope they might. should wo con.
tribute a. large volume it would lessen
our tolls to and from New York by at
least 50 per cent.

“It is inevitable that the New Ha-
ven road will .have to take care of its
present commuting business and a large

increase which it has'the right to ex-

pect from the electrification, and it.
must have some other means of bring-
ing that business down into the heart
of New York city. it would naturally
prefer to use its existing line. but it
must, take care of the business, and
if it cannot use existing lines it must
do the next best thing. ‘

“i hope to make arrangements with
other companies to have the trains run
through without transfer. and i might
say that if I cannot make arrange,
ments with other companies 1 may be
obliged to come directly to the commie»
aion and ask for such an arrangement."

Mr. Molten later on suggested that
he had an idea that it would have"
to form a New York. corporation. which
would take over the wholly New Haven
line within New York state.

Accident at the Corner oi South

Ties lip System

 

 

The trolley schedule in The Nor-
walku was badly disarrangel, this
morning, between 6 and 8 o'clock, by
reason of an accident at the corner
of South Main and Monroe streets.
The mishap was caused by car No.
110, in charge of Conductor Henry it.
Tolles and Motormsn William Lownd-
es. 0n the way to South Norwaik,
the trolley pole flew off. and it is said
the refusal of the brakes to work, air
lowed the car to continue on for sev-
eral hundred feet.

Finally the pole tore down about
two hundred feet of the feed wire, Illid
this circled about the heads of the pas-
sengcrs, emitting sheets of electricity.
and greatly alarmed the eight passen-
gets in the car, only one of whom was
a woman, Mrs. Edwin M. Bartlett. of
Belle island. other passengers were
Captain Augustus St. John. '1‘. Marshall
Andrews, and W. Emerson, and they
had narrow escapes. The wire wound
itself around Mr. St. John's head. but
he kept his seat on the front of the
car. Motorman Lowndes had his band
burned by the wire.

The car was finally stopped, as well
as many others along the line when
the wire broke, shutting off the can
rent. The second car from RowaytOn
did not arrive in South Norwalk un-
til 7:65 o'clock, being about thirty-five
minutes late.

The work car was telephoned for;
and the wire was repaired in about
an hour.
