got under the Washington street rail-

caught. hold of the young women. it
was then about 8: 30 o’clock.

The young women broke away from
their would-be escorts and hurried to
Policeman John' H. Smith. to whom
they related the story of their ndven

young men and had very little trouble

SEYMOUR GROCERY
STORE .‘IO RE-OPEN

William Miller and William H.
Church Purchase the Stock
and Will Conduct Business
in the Future

 

 

‘.

 

Yesterday afternoon William Miller,
who for more than twenty years was
associated in the grocery business
with Charles E. Seymour. and Willlurn
H. Church, of Washington. this state.
purchased the stock and fixtures of the
store from Attorney Louis, S.‘ Boers,
who was appointed trustee‘ after Mr.
Seymour went into bankruptcy.

The new firm will in all probability
be known as Church and Miller and is
planning to re—open the store one week
from tomorrow, Saturday, September
5th.

The news that Mr. Miller would go
into the business did not confess a
complete surprise, for it has been
known that negotiations were in prog-
ress for some time.

Mr. Miller has a host of friends in
The Norwalks and throughout the
state and they are confident that he
and his partner will make a fine suc-
cess of their venture. To his friends
Mr. Miller is familiarly known as
“deacon" and by this appellation he
has become celebrated far and near.
For years he has been prominent in
the organization of improved Order of
Red Men, and at the last great council
had the distinguished honor of being
elected great aachem of the state. lie
is also prominently identified with
South Norwalk Council, improved 0r-
der of Heptasophs.

Mr. Miller's partner. Mr. Church, has
been identified with the grocery busi-
ness in Washington for a number of
years and intends f3 move his family
to South Norwallf.

This mor'ning Painter and Decorator
Edward E. Gorham set a force of men
at work in the store, which will be
made spick and span for the grand
opening.

EDITOR TOLLES’ ILLN E88.

City Editor Wellington A. Toilet,
of the Norwallc Hour, remains
quite ill at his home in Union Place.
He has been unable to attend to his
duties for several wrecks, owing to a
general breaking down of his health.
He went away to a higher climate for
a time, and felt much improved, but
when he returned to his home some
two weeks ago. he had a relapse and
is now under the constant care of a
nurse.

 

 

All of the members of the Seventh
Company. Coast Artillery. who failed
to quality at the May Day shoot are
urged to go up to the South Wilton
range tomorrow afternoon. when they
win have an opportunity to “make

good." The delegation will go up on
the train leavin South Norwaik at
1: 20. and New at 1: 25. The am-

munition is being rapidly used up, and
it is quite possible that this will be
the last opportunity the men will have
to qnalify.

NEW YORK. Aug. 28.-——Capt. P. C.
llalus, Jr., and his brother, ’1‘. Jerr-
kins liains. were held without bail for
the action of the grand jury today on
a charge of the murder of Willinrn
Annie.

Three witnesses testified for' the
prosecution. Patrolman Charles W.
Baker. who arrested the brothers after
the shooting, said that when he ar-
rived on the yacht club Rout. Annie
was lying there. wounded.

Charles H. Roberts, a member of
the llayside Yacht Club. testified that
he witnessed the shooting and helped
Annie from the water. Anrrls, the wit-
ness testified, said to Captain llains:
“You have made. a horrible mistake."
The witness said he attempted to in-
terfere at the sound of the first shot,
but that 'l‘. Jenkins Hains thrust a re
volt-er into his face and shouted:
"Keep back. or H] kill you." After-
ward he said '1‘. Jenkins Hains asked
the witness, “What could I do? He
was my brother. l have been trying
to persuade him froln doing this for
some time."

’laptaln l-lalns interrupted his broth-
er. saying: "Ker-p still. this is my
affair."

Dr. Frey, the coroner's physician,
described Annis‘ wounds, of which he
said there were twmrty, four of which
would have been fatal.

No testimony was given in defense.

The annOunced intention of Captain
Halns' counsel to plead insanity as his
defense. together with sensational
charges which Captain linins' counsel
have made against the captain's wife
involving an alleged confession by her
of improper friendship for Annil. but
given the case unusual interest.
was not expected that all the peculiar
phases of the case would be disclos-
(-d at the hearing today. as t was
only necessary for the dial attor-
ney to produce sufficient evidence to
hold the accused men for a grand jury
which has already been ordered by
Governor Hughes. it was expected.
however, that the counsel for '1‘. Jon-
kins Hains would endeavor to have the
charges against him dismissed on the
ground that he took no actual part in
the killing. and that. all he did was to
protect his brother.

The Hams brothers were taken frou.
the Queens County jail. handcuffed t0-
gctirer, and rode on a street car in the
custody of a deputy sheriff to Magis-
trate (iiiroy‘s court. Captain Hains.
who. when be last appeared in court,
wore the uniform of his army rank, to
day ths clad in citizens‘ clothes. and
his pallor and unshaven appearance in-
dicated the effects of his confinement.
His brother showed no effects of his
imprisonment.

Governor Fort Determined That
the Law Shall Be Obeyed in
Atlantic City, and Residents

~Belisve Place will Suffer as
a Result

 

ATLANTlC CITY, N. J., August 28.
——-Thc situation that has developed
as a result of Governor Eort‘s praclarn-
atiorr, in which he threatens to use
the power of the state militia to en
force the Sunday liquor laws hero. and
the action of the Atlantic county
grand Jury in deliberately ignoring the
instructions of the court by refusing
to return indictments against persons
accused of violating the excise laws,

. continues to be almost the sole topic

of conversation today.

That Governor Fort will be compell-
ed to utilise his authority in’ calling
out the state troops is hardly proba-
ble, since the summer season is near-
ing an end, and it In more than likely
that at least the larger and more prom-
inent places will refuse to sell liquor
on the coming Sabbath. rather than
face a chance of losing a license. Their
harvest is practically over, and it is
not considered likely that the proprie-
tors of the larger hotels and cafes will
openly sell in defiance of the chief ex-
ecutive of‘the state. The situation is
a serious one, from the standpoint, of
the business men of the resort. It has
been the free and happy environment
of the city, which has made it a mec-
ca for Sunday cxcursionists and those
who like to see things go and like to
be in the "go." ,

Whatever may be the outcome of
the conflict between the powers on
the question of gambling and liquor
selling. many of the large property
holders and those who have seen the
city by the sea grow from a quiet lit-
tle hamlet to‘the best known sunimer
resort on the Atlantic coast, are of the
opinion that the bitter criticisms that
are being directed against the place as
a whole will work an injury to it that
will long be felt.

Nobody denies that liquor is sold on
Sunday. On this point. Assistant ,At-

torney enerni Gaakili, in commenting
on-the efiant attitude of the grand
jurors, says:

“Governor Fort. has decided that
lawbreaking in this city nurst cease,
and he will find menus to carry out
his decision. Atlantic City cannot do-
fy the law of the state".

BEA GIRT, N. J., August 28.—Gov-
erncr Fort made the following state~
ment. today, concerning his proclama-
tion of yesterday and the defiance of
Atlantic City. that he dare not call
out the militia to enforce the bishop's
aw.

“i will stand on my proclamation un-
equivocally. i mean every word. The
people will learn that I am not at~
tempting to intimidate by threats."

Through a member of Governor
Fort's "summer callinet," it was learn-
ed today that before issuing his proc-
lamation. yesterday, he sounded ,the
attitude of various lenders in the leg-
islature. and was given assurances
that if he called a special session they
would provide whatever assistnnCc he
required to enforce the law at. Atlan-
tic City, even to the necessity of put-
rolling the resort with troops and plac-
lng it under martial law. Thereupon
the proclamation was issued with a
threat to call a special session.

But it is said on the same 'author-
ity that the governor did not receive
the same assurances on his desire to
obtain authority for the removal of
officers who fail to perform their duty.
He has asked the legislature for this
pirvz'ler in the past, and it has been do-
n e .

Sunday Atlantic City will continue its
defiance of the governor and will be
"wide open." as in the past. Advices
have reached the governor already
that such-would be the case, and there
can be no doubt that the call for the
special session of legislation will fol-
low. if issued, the call will probably
