‘ MYSTERY
Complete Outfit of Men’s Cloth-
ing Found Under the Dancing
Pavilion, but the Owner of
Them Ilsa Disappeared, and
Efforts to, Find the Body
Have Proved Futile
Roton Point has a deep mystery on
hand. which seems to point. to the
death of an unknown man by drowning
last. night about 10 o’clock. off the
rocks southwest of the dancing pal
‘ villon. The whole vicinity has been
searched a number of times since 4
o'clock this morning, but thus far the.
body has not been recovered.
There are many peculiar features
about the case and whether the man
was swallowed up by the waves with-
Out his own consent, committed siti-
'cide because he was confronted with
an accusation of peculiar conduct, 0i
ran away and left his clothes behind
are problems worthy of a Sherlock
Holmes.
It Is positively known. however, that
the man was in the water, for several
men saw him there, and that he picked
out a peculiar spot will be readily ad
mitted.
_ The story of the case really date:
back two or three nights ago. whet
several young women were annoyed in
the dancing pavilion by having a hunt:
come up through a bad place in tbt
floor and grab them by the ankle, tlu
practice continuing nightly until last
evening. About 9:46 o'clock Fredericl
J. Buckley, libationist at Weiseit llrotb
crs' cafe. in South Norwalk, stood out
side the pavilion talking this piece at
misconduct over with the escort of t
Stamford young lady. who had bcei
annoyed a night. or two before.
lloth young men took a trip undct
'the pavilion and found a young mat
there. Mr, Buckley described him at
having been about thirty years old
about five feet pipe inches tall, durl
hair, weight abouvt3106'pounds and bav
ing a peculiar eifeminate voice.
Mr. Buckley accused him of hnvlni
command the sanctioned and he. tie.
nied being gusty. fie was asked what
his presence under the pavilion meant
and he declared that he intended tt
go into the water.
The two men then left him and re
turning in about five minutes saw his
wading In the water up to his waist
The tide was coming in and was fast
rising to his clothing. By that time hit
shoes were even submerged. Mr. Huck
icy picked up the bundle of his cloth
ing and carried them back several feet
under the pavilion, after which they re
tired from the scene.
The next chapter opened some tlmt
later when the pile of clothing was
found under the pavilion. but nothinl
more was seen of the innit. It is sup
posed that the latter used life under
clothing for a bathing suit. Severa
of the dancers in the pavilion saw bin
overboard. Miss Clara Smith, a Not
walk young \vmnan,- Is said to tht
been one, and that she called the at
tention of several young men, includ
lng Charles Hamilton, Eugene Tobe:
and James Coleman. to the man.
“Look at that man going out there,‘
she exclaimed. In a moment be but
made a plunge and that was the ins
. seen of him.
The nearness to which the. clothe:
were left to the edge of the water i):
the mysterious young man seems it
lend an air .of suicide to the case, fo
It seems that any man going in for i
awlm would leave his clothes in a lit
tie different spot.
It is also considered quite probabit
that he came frOm South Norwalk 0
vicinity, for his black derby but part
the name of G. In Price. the Washing
‘ton street clothier.
Constable Samuel C. Ireland staict
that he woke up a man answering tht
description of the stranger from one o
the benches in the grove at Rotor
last night. The stranger seemed to be
a foreigner to Mr. Ireland and was Very
polite. When aroused he declared that
he must have been asleep for some
time. Stage Manager Emil Sonnenburg
‘ and several employees of Baton Point
‘ went searching for the man‘s body
this morning, but without finding a ves
f tlge of clue.
Constable John J. Goodwin also tool.-
a trip down to Roton Point this morn
ing and looked the clothing over. This
consisted of 'a pair of gray striped
. trousers, a black chevlot coat and vest
a plaid shirt. is No. 16 collar and a pair
of 7% nice black viol kid oxfords. Tht
clothing was of quite cheap texture
and the shoes sold originally for $3.50

slim articles on which to effect an

JOHN C. SILCOX SELLS OUT.
Well Known Place on the Washington
Street Bridge Changes Hands.
Considerable surprise was express-
ed among the liquor dealers and oth-
ers. this morning, when it became
generally known that John C. Slicox
tutti sold out his saloon business on
the Washington street bridge.
The dickct‘ had been on for only
about two days, and was consummat
ed at 11 o'clock last. night, the pur-
chasers being two South Norwalk
Hungarians, Steve Canal and L. Sol-
tcz.
Mr. Silcox has not made up his mind
vet. as to the future. but will take a
vacation, at any event.
The place is cite 0f the best known
in town. It was established several
years ago by Frank i/emongeill, who
erected the building in which it Is con-
ducted. Mr. hemongelli sold out to
Mr. Silcox and Richard W. Sweeney,
and for a time, until Mr. Sweeney was
forced to retire because 0 ill health,
the firm was known as ilcox and
Sweeney. Before establishing in bits-
less for himself, Mr. Silcox was a
popular member ofatbe local Bartond-
ers' Union for several years.

Mr_ Bedeli has always been a most
thorough and competent employee and
will not only be missed by the rail-
road, but by Its many patrons, who al-
ways found him a willing and obilglng
man. The same unsatisfactory condi-
tions prompted Mr. Bedell to take this
course which caused William Thles to
sever his connection with the com-

goid is chairman of the. convention

field is clear and not even the slig-
gcslion of another nominee has been
made. The call for the convention will
be issued In the course of, a few days
and the 75 delegates will gather to

reputation of being the bot-It congress-

efforts and his record Is so well known

plishments Is' unnecessary. The dele-
gates are enthusiastic over the coming
convention and while all of them know
that It will be imt a formal gathering

Present Time Likely to Be

Friday of August, and This
Has Been ignored
HARTFORD. Aug. 14,—Somc of the,
towns of the state have already held
their caucuses for the prelimin-
ary purpose of selecting delegates to
the Republican nomination conven-
tion. The town of Stamford held its
caucus several weeks ago. at the time
It sent delegates to the convention
called to elect delegates to the na-
tlonttl convention. The question now
raised is any one of the caucuses iii-
clutiing those held today. legal and
binding upon the Republican party or-
ganlzntlon.
The law, chapter 106, section 1,720.
provides that the registrars of voters
of every town shall be in session on
the first and second Fridays of Febru-
ary anti August in each year,‘aitd at.
such times as they muytlt-e m neces~
sury before the cxperntion of the time
set, for the purpose of makings legal
enrollment. of legal voters. The
law in mandatory. anti in other sec
tions provides for the careful protec-
tion of party organizations and for the
convenience of legal voters who can
not or do not care to personally visit
the enrolling officers. It Is all as
clear as daylight. to which machine
politicians are. so averse. and yet there
Iii reason to believe that it has been
violated, andtbnt the caucuses already
held, Including those held today, have.
no standing before the committee on
contested seats In the Republican con-
volition.
Take the Waterbury Republican cau-
cus. which was crammed to the doors
with less than a bundmd desperate
supporters of Mr. Iiiliey. The law re-
outrun the registrars and deputy regia.
trnrs of that town to keep open house
for the registration and enrollment
of Republicans who might desire to
participate in the cnucusus this year,
until 9 o'clock this evening. Nothing
of the kind was done. The registrars
may have been within the reach of the
legal voters of Waterbury, but the
right to participate In the caucus has
been taken from them. for the caucus
has been hold. This Is a disfrancliisc-
muut, pure and simple. anti has raised
the question among lawyers whether
contesting delegations from Water-
bury and from other towns where
caucuses have already been field
would not have to llt' admitted to the.
September convention ili place of the
snap dclcgal ion.
It Is a question whether these cau-
cnscs, which have been lll'lll in vlola~
tion of the law. have the power to seat
delegates In the approaching Hopub-
“can state convention. It is likely
that this question may be raised at an
embarrassing moment. The situation
Is, at any rate. a fly in the iillley oint-

tor Jeremiah Lynch, of New Haven,
was killed, and Engineer Morris Dean,

liam (loss, of East Lyme, suffered
slight injuries this morning when the

caught under the engine cab and his
body practically cut in two. The engi‘
neer had his foot; hunt. and Goes sub
fcred a sprained ankle. Dean went to
his home on another train.
The conductor and brakeman were
riding with the engineer in the cab
and it Is supposed Lynch jumped too
late to avoid being caught.

est conductor on the road. He enter-
ed the railroad employ in 1879, and the

tor In 1883.
According to a statement made by
Engineer Dean. he was proceeding
slowly, keeping a lookOut for signals,
but, there was a heavy fog and he went
by the-signal without seeing it. As
soon as he saw be was beyond the
signal he applied the brakes, but the
tracks were wet an slippery and the
train continued'un It it’d run into
