At first the lad denied his guilt, but when confronted by indisputable evl deuce, he broke down and confessed to taming off five separate and dis tinct jobs the latest only ’l‘uesdul’ night, at John Oldenschlagers cigar store and manufactory in Washing- ton street, when he t00k 526 out the . safe, 82.70 out of a money drawer, a dpzen boxes of cigarettes and a gold p n. Chief of Police Vollmer and Officer Frank Strstton have been at work on the list of burglaries in which young Smith has been implicated for Weeks. but so cleverly has be concealed his tracks that though he was suspected, fixing of guilt on him has been Im- ptfisible. In the course of their detec tive work the officers have “sweeten" no less than four other young men .without getting the right one. '_ Yesterday afternoon the chief de- cided upon a bold stroke, and went _ up into the Haviland House, where Smith has been hiring a room for some time. The youth was just coming out of the room at. the time. "I want to see you a minute," the chief to. him bruskly. “What do you want?" was the re- turn. ‘ Smith was smoking a cigarette, and the officer demanded: "Where did you get that cigarette?" "a btousht it." ‘UUS the reply! “ 0 any ’ . “ch n we? “Where did you get. them?" asked the chief. at the Hindi line feeling about the boy's peck ’ "I"! bunch: them.” is SUMO i “Yes, you did," contributed the chief who recognised a box as beingwf the same brand stolen from the Olden- aohlager place. "Come in here." demanded the chief again, pushing toward the room oc- cupied .by the boy. inside the room the chief met a sight that made his eyes stick out, when he began looking around. Concealed in bureau draw- ers and distributed at various points was most of the goods taken from lo- cal establishments since July. For a tithe the bay was unshaken in his declaration that he had bought ‘ everything. but the thief was insistent and it was tint long before he got a confession. On the boy‘s person was 825 of the money supposed to have been taken from the Oldcnschiagcr liltlf c The other places the boy confessed robbing ’ were the stores of li‘lynu a Ryan. shoe dealer's; the show cases of the Copy right Clothing Company and Rogers , & Stevens, clothing dealers, and the store of Abe 'i‘arlov, who has a jew- elry store in Washington street. Entrance to Flynn & Ryan's was secured through the rear of the store. Here two pairs of shoes. a pair of cult mid y reiterated ‘ buttons, 9. dozen pairs of shoo strings. ‘ ’a fountain pen and a pair of gloves wore taken ’on August. 24. Smith claims that the rear door of the Oldenschlager store was open and that the safe door was also open. Chief Vollmer accused Smith of hav- ing robbed the Steegmulier'l‘obey ilox V Company and libpes to get a confes» sion from him Thus far the young man denies the allegation but tells a hazy story. The Tarlov place was alsoentered from the rear. Two nickel watches were taken, In addition to a lady's chain and some other small articles. . Two dozen neckties were taken from ' the show case of the Copyright Cloth- ing Company’s show case in front of the store and a dozen pairs of socks from the show oak of Rogers & Ste- vens. The fact that Smith was not work- ing and seemed to be living well at- tracted the notice of the police depart ment toward him. It was said that a Norwalk man for whom he had been working paid for his room rent at the Haviiand house. Smith is moon of George Smith. re aiding in Hillside avenue. Norwalk, at the cornerof mania street. Chief of Police Voltaier‘arranged with a boy to _ tell the father about the plight of his son last night. but this morning when yie boy was brought before Judge Jo aeph R. Taylor in the South Norwalk police court,‘ the parent was not on hand. In order that the father might be summoned. Judge Taylor continued the case until 11: 30. in the meantime fixing bonds at 8750. Master Smith did not seem to re- alise the full seriousness of his posi- tion and answered the judge brightly when asked how old he was and if he had any friend in the court room over twentyone years ofage The nerve of young Smith after the Oldenschlager robbery was little short of remarkable.

There was little, if any, opposition in ally of the districts and the delegates were elected about the same as last year. in the first four districts, the? (isle gates elected represent both the town and city. and In the rest they of course represent only the town. The town delegates who were elect- ed will hold a convention Wednesday evening in the Norwalk Town Court room, and they will then send dele- gtaos to the state congressional sens torial and probate conventions, and it is probable that an adjournment will then be taken subject to the call of the chairman at a later date. when a representative, justices of the peace and town officers will be nominated. Chairman Nicholas Martin will iat- er call the city convention, when dele- gates to the city convention will be elected. The delegates elected in the various districts last night were as follows: First District—Peter B. Cavanlsb. John J. Hanlon. John Devlne, Jr. Second Distr'ittv'llenry J. iirurken. Bernard 0. Feeuey.

Manager Ki y, of Music Hall, two newspaper me and cite. or two others. had a wild ride about the business section of South Norwalk late yester- day afternoon with Prince Albine, who, with Madam LaBlanc. will conclude a three days’ interesting telepathy act tonight at the hall. Prince-Albina agreed to find an ar- ticle hidden by A. J. Collins & Com- pany withih half an hour's tithe and did so to the minute. The trip about the city was made in one of Gus Mag- ner's coaches. with Albine blindfolded driving a pair of horses at full speed. The start was made from Music Hall. thence down Elizabeth street. through Water street to Washington street. A search was made through the H. Ger main & Company's store without suc- cess and the journey was resumed to the South Norwaik railroad depot without result and finally back to North Main street and the Collins store Here accompanied by someone who knew the location of the article, but who did not tell him. Albina searched the store, blindfolded, and finally found the object of the search. a bunch of keys in the drawer of a desk on the third floor. The ride about the city was a decid- edly spectacular ones and Albino want ed to know before the start if every- body would take his own responsibility. There were several close shaves but no accidents. Gus Magner was on the driving seat with him. in order to be ready to make a quick grab for the reins. ,Albine and Madame LeBlanc gave another interesting exhibition last eve ning‘at the ball, describing objects handed to Prince Albino with remark- able fidelity. Madame LeBlanc remains on the stage blindfolded while Albine goes about the audience in search of people who have objects they wish described. There will be a matinee this after noon and a dual performance this Cm.

Mr. 'i‘roup had wearlcd himself at yester- day afternoon‘s meeting during a speech on the subject. of the appoint- ment of Former Senator Smith, of New Jersey, to membership on the committee. Mr. Walker said that Mr, Troop had overtaxod himself in an argument lasting an hour and a half. This was later forcibly denied at the national headquarters where it was said that at no time during the confer once had Mr. Troup engaged in an argument that might have caused him physical depression. The candidacy of Senator Smith had not even been brought up, it was officially stated and the entire conference had been atlcablc and without a clash of any sort.

Some went to East Norwnlk via Nor- walk and vice verse. and a, few people ferried across. At one time It looked as If somebody would be able to do a big ferrage business before night. The trouble was caused by the breaking of a “leg’ under the South Norwulk end of the draw. Itritige Tender John (‘olé opened the draw to let a vessel through and when be at- tempted to shut it be found himself almost as isolated from civilization as Robinson Crusoe was m. my years ago. John went'right to Work on the job. however, and finally had matters straightened out. One trolley car‘loaded principally with ladies-en route‘to the Country Club waited for about-twenty minutes at the entrance to the draw and was then taken to East Norwalk by way of West and East avenues. Two machinists were secured and they proceeded to repair the broke-n "leg" of the bridge.

JUDGE WHEELER DECLlNES HDNDR Report That He am an Accept Democratic Nomination as Candidate for Governor, NEW HAVEN. Sent. 5.—-it is stated with apparently the best of authority that Word has come here to the effect that Judge George W. Wheeler. of Bridgeport, after mature considera- tion. has decided. that he will not care to have his name go before the Democratic state convention as a can- didate for governor. Judge Wheeler, It is stated. much prefers to stay upon the bench than to re-enter the political areas. It is not known yet whether this Is Judge Wheeler's final decision. as the close friends who have laid the matter be- fore him have not been here. The in- formation iven' came as a message. Those w 0 have received .it have expressed the opinion that if Judge Wheeler positively declines to be a candidate, no further advance selec- tion of a standard bearer will be made, and the convention will be left to select its own gubernatorial candidate“ CARDINAL GIBSONB IN LOIOON.

Waldron started only yesterday to circhlatc the petition, but already has more than a hundred names and by the rapidity with which the signers were being suctii‘i'd this morning. it was clearly apparent that he would have. to add extra blank pages or stop getting signatures. Mr. Waldron says that he is meeting with hearty ap- proval everywhere and no one has refused to sign lilo request for the. meeting. ()nly twenty slum-rs are re quired for a special town meeting, but it Is ills intention to give first-class lneasure, Mr. Waldroa and funny residents of both South and East Norwailt have expressed the opinion for years that the prcscnt. drawbritigc and whole structure have been detrimental to the growth of the city and East Nor-walk. Prominent residents of the latter any that the present bridge is their great- est impediment. The petition which is being signed reads as follows To the Honorable. the lloard of Se- lectmen of the. Town ‘Eof Norwalk: The undersigned residents and elec- tors of said town hereby respectfully petition you to call a special town meeting for the purpose of cousider- ing the advisability of erecting a new bridge to take the place of the present Washington street drawbridge. so call- ed. said new bridge to be of such kind as may be determined at said meeting. and to appropriate therefore such moneys as in the judgment of sold meeting may be necessary or advis- able and to take such action generally in relation to the mutters specified herein as may be thought advisable and necessary. Norwalk. Conn, September 3,1908 The present bridge was built many years ago and it has been given vert hard service. particularly since the coming of the trt‘liley cars.

Ton Cases Distributed Over Various Sheets In the City of Norwalk. The number of typhoid fever cases in the City of Norwaik at present is causing quite a little worry, though it is not expected that there will be a serious epidemic. At the present time thereare ten cases practically in the city and a class watch is being kept by Dr. Wil- liam J. Tracey, the town health officer, The usual source of typhoid fever is water or milk supply and for this rea son. Dr. Tracey advises great care. His advice concerning water is that it should be boiled As different milk dealers supply the families of the patients afflicted at present, he hardly lays the cause to the milk supply,” some of the afflicted ones have used only condensed milk and others have been supplied by different dealers. The test cases are distributed over a wide area. Three of them are locat- ed in upper Main street, one imUnion avenue. one at Cobble Hill. one in Chapel street. one in Orchard street and two in one family in Butler street. Several patients have been rentoved from their homes to the hospital. For- tunately there have been no deaths and a number of afflicted ones are con vaiescent. There were four or five cases last spring. but it is not believ‘od that there have been so funny as ten before Iri a number at years. TWIN sno’i‘Hsns MARRIED. Twin brothers, Andrew Chen and Joseph Chen, became bridagroorns this morning, at 9 o’clock. at St. Joseph's church. Andrew married Lisaio Mic- kios. and Joseph'be‘came the husband of Haste Roscall. Half an hour later John Smyrnak married Lilli. Shim- ito. All of the ceremonies were per- formed by the Rev.

Our genial representative, “Bill" how. was booked for u. speech. and hundreds of people came out to hear him. but after a long wait it was finally announced that he was detalued, as well as some other speakers. by the primaries in Norwalk, and therefore would not be present to address the people. When the banner was pulled across the street, with large photographs of the two nominees there was loud cheering. A wagon was then pulled into the middle of the street, and Gus Meerhoitz made the announcement and added a little speech in loyalty to the banner and its meaning. He then announced Bernard 0. Feeney as a speaker. Mr. Feeney refused to take his stand in the wagon but made a short speech to the people, which was fully appreciated. He said he was proud that Bryan had been nominated, and thought he was the best man, and be for one would certainly vote for him. The Yale Bugle, Fife and Drum Corps, of South Norwalk, kept the crowd in good humor with its fine selections, nd red lights were burned. It was a Utile hour when the crowd dispersed. JORDAN'S WIPE DIED rsou BLDW on HEAD Flatiron Covered with Blood Found inthe Housethe Couple Occupied in Somerville HOSTON, Sept. 5.——'i‘llc belief ex pressed by the medical examiners of for their autopsy on the dismembered body of Mrs. Honorah Jordan. yester- day. that she was struck upon the head with some blunt instrument be- fore being cut up by her husband. Chester 8. Jordan. has been apparently corroborated with the finding in a closet of their home in Somerviile. o a flatlron. which was covered with blood. and to which clung a quantity of hair. the medical examiners, the blows from this wcnpoA were net sufficient cause Mrs. Jordan's death, and fur- ther examination of the portions of the woman's body were made today, in an effort to ascertain definitely the blow which killed her. The finding of the bloochovered flat iron tends to discredit a portion of the confession of Jordan. who stated that the only blows which he dealt his wife after her taunts were by his fist and foflowing which he remembers nothing. This discrepancy has led the police to believe that other portions of his story may be, equally wrong, and the examination which yesterday was mapped out to include but a few particulars will now be broadened to take in practically every detail which it is possible to either substantiate or disprove. The autopsy conducted jointly to- day by Medical Examiners McGrath and Durreii. assisted by other experts. was much more particular In its de- tails than was that cf yesterday. and microscopes were used today with the object of determining. if possible. whether the wounds upon throat and neck of the murdered woman were lnfifcted while there was still life in the body.

PROVIDENCE, R. 1, Sept. 6.———A’ tone of quiet pervaded the strike at- mosphere in this city today. Although it was believed that the efforts of the union leaders for a general strike on the trolley lines of the state in con- cert with a similar cessation of work on lines in Massachusetts and Con- necticut, operated by companies sub. sidiary to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, might possibly result in a general action, the outlook apparently indicated that the griev- ances of the local union would be sub. mitted to arbitration. The dental by Chairman Charles W. Minnix, of the union arbitration board, of the report that delegates from the 15 divisions of the New Haven system were to meet In New Haven today. was the latest of the many conflicting reports which have tended to entangle the situation. in view of this latter denial, the trol~ laymen are uncertain of their position and are looking for something which they may consider definite. As the strike would eventually call out some two thousand men in three states, it is certain that both sides vvill consider the matter carefully be- fore taking final action. The national union officials, it is understands“! at present considering whether the controversy warrants such widespread retaliation on their part. for the Mr charge of fit men here, which in 0x- plalned by the oilcials as being due to a breach of discipline.
