A. possible motive for the, suicide of
Mrs. Lillian Falconer Doiy. the behalf.
fill young divorcee, formerly of Belle
Island. who committed suicide. in the
Hotel Clarendon. Brooklyn, on Wed-
ticsday, by shooting herself. was learn-

“ed last night, when dcspatchos frotii

', Sioux City. South Dakota, revealed the
fact. that Mrs. Doty intimated to tier

2 friends there before she left for New
York that. she expected to be married
within a week or so. It is said that
she learned upon arriving in New
York that the man she was to marry

' had jilted her.

, While Mrs. Doty was ill Sioux City,
securing her divorce from Mansfield
M. Duty. formerly a broker and now
the president of the Reserve Fund Sc-

, curity Company. she corresponded
with Benjamin _lt‘. Norris. a. lawyer

‘ with offices at 215 Montague street.

‘~ ~lirooklyn, who lives with his mother

. at. No. 275 Clinton avenue, the 'samc

l-borotigh. Mrs. Duty often spoke of

: Mr. Norris to her friends. referring to
Iiiiit as "Ben."

. It is though that when Mrs. Duty
went to Brooklyn, last Tuesday, and
engaged a room at. the‘ Clal‘t‘lldtlllnb‘lltl

. may have intended to see Mr. Norris,

- 'whosc office is a little more than a
. block from the hotel. At the Claren-

" .don it was said. last night, that Mr.
Norris had not called to inquire. for
Mrs. Doty while she was stopping
there; in fact, she had no visitors, so
far as know, .

When my; ,, ionization at the Nor-
ris homer‘ltfat‘ ’Iht,'rtb‘s hail boy said
behalf ,lnstruvctioiisuot to admit. any
reporter. or to take up a card.

. A. note informing Mag Eris, cftlio
reports thfi’bec‘had been elegraphod
from Stun”! City finally; "got; to the
hands of Mr.~-.Norrls through the aid
of a messenger boy. Mr. Norris ap-

. peal'ed greatly p‘erturbedupo‘n reading
the note. He tore It up hurriedly, with
the brief statement, "I have nothing
‘to say." and dismissed the inesSenger.

Later a reporter called tip the house
by telephone. A woman's voice in!

~ quired what was wanted. Site said
that Mr. Norris was not at home. that.
he had been out of town for several
days. In response to a query as to
Whether she. was a member of Mr.

.Nol‘rls' family or not, she replied that
she was. but refused to give her name.

"is it, true that Mr. Norris was en-
‘gaged to marry Mrs. Lillian lt‘ulcoucr
Doty?" was asked.

"Not, that 1 know of~—-I do not be-
lieve he was," the Woman replied.

“It is reported frotti Sioux City. S.
1).. that Mrs. Doty had returned to
"New York to marry Mr. Norris," said
the reporter. _

“I do not believe there is any truth
in such a report. Mr. Norris had busi-
ness relations with Mrs. Doty, but that
is all. so far. as I know." was the. tin-
.swer.

Then saying she, feared she had said

‘ too much, the woman abruptly hung
up the receiver. _ .

Benjamin h“. Norris is well known in
the Brooklyn courts. and is socially

. prominent. lie is a member of ii num-
‘ box of clubs. and lives in one of the
.most exclusive residential sections in
Brooklyn.

Mrs. Doty was not seen to leave the
Clarendon Hotel utter she registered
there on Tuesday as Mrs. Lillian Fal-
coner. of Sioux City. S. I). The tele-

. phone operators are sure that Mrs.
Duty did not telephone to any one

‘ from the hotel, so it is probable that.
Mrs. Doty did not see any one in
Brooklyn before she shot herself.

, Whether Mrs. Doty's relatives knew
of her acquaintance with Mr. Norris,
could not be learned. The body of the
suicide lay in the Brooklyn morgue
untilnoon yesterday before it was

‘ clditned. Then George Falconer, a

ybrother of the suicide. appeared at the

morgue with an undertaker. and the
body was taken to Manhattan. The
funeral will be on Saturday, from an
undertaking establishment on upper

Broadway- .

' :Alexaiider’ Falcoher, father of Mrs.

Doty, denied himself to all callers yes-

9 .’ terday, at the Hotel Bristol, in Forty-

ninth street, where he and his wife
‘ are stopping. He sent word to the
clerk that Mrs. Falconer was pros-
trated by the tragic death of her
daughteryand that he did not care to
discuss the case.

Darien is considerably agog over two
slander suits brought by Carl W. Mill-
or against Patrick Fancy and James A.
Jackson. Miller asks .tiatnages of 81.’
000 In each case and brings his action
through R. A. Foadick, of Stamford.
The cases are returnable to the Court
of Common Pleas Court, at Bridgeport.

It Is claimed that politics are con-
siderably to blame for tho present
actions brought by Miller. It appears
that the plaintiff, a Republican, was
lined up on the side of Selectman
It‘itcli, and Jackson, a Democrat, was
favorable to Selectman Van R. Pooley.
In tho recent election. Mr, Fitch boat
out Mr. Poolcy, Both Messrs. Jack-
son and Miller have done town road
work. ‘

Miller, iii his bill of complaint.
states that. iii the time the defendant
made certain statements. slanderous,

 

 

concerning liliii. to Selectman Charles '

B. Fitch. of Durban, he was a tcamstcr

sequence of the defendant‘s state-
ments. he was discharged. lilo has also
been damaged in reputation. be al-
leges, and has also lost much business
he would have received but for the [tilt
true statements made against him.

Policy is proprietor of the marble
works at the Springdalc. Cemetery. and
Jackson lives In the same, neighbor'-
hood.

llcal estate owned by the defendants
were attached yesterday by Deputy
sheriff John W. Scullcy, of South Nor-
walk, to cover the action. .

In ltls bill of complaint, Miller
claims that. oti November 91b, Faliey
said to Selectman Fitch that “Miller
had drawn to tile Roman Catholic Cout-
ctery at Sprlugdalc. stone and charged
it. to the Town of Daricn on .luly 24th."
and that on November ltith lic repeat-
ed the. ciiargc and added that. he had
done it by order of John Bailey;

llc charged that Jackson, on No
vcmbcr 9th. also said to Fitch that
“Miller is pretty smart to charge the
Town of Stamford for hauling stone
for the abutments of the bridge be-
tween Dtirien and Stamford and to
charge tlie’f‘own. of Daricn for the
same work.“ and that. on Novembci
ititli. he. also repeated to Selectman
it‘itch that he had received 315 from

further that. he said on November 9th.
that. Miller out seven or eight loads of

force tomorrow at. this rapidly grow

the opportunity to buy clothing and

for tomorrow's trading. Buyers are
required to pay but very little cash,
and small weekly payiiicnis after the

with all desiring to do so. This is a

mercantile houses and individuals of

reaped the benefit of its belief. Its
success, its growth, its thousands of
pleased patrons all afford for its pro-

The sale inaugurated for tomorrow will
do good for countless numbers of poo
pic. It arrives at an opportune time—
at the height of the winter season,
when the goods it offers at great re
ductlons. are most in demand. Don’t
pass such an event by. A visit to the

be thankful the longestday you live.
It. means clothes, furnishings at money

—A SUGGESTION FOR CHRISTMAS.

Buy a. useful gift and one that will
last the entire year. Such a gift
would be a year's subscription for

now so your name will appear in our

the service may be deferred until

William Oscar ‘Stiiliin Takes Miss
Elizabeth Beers as His Bride

Quite a. motion has lltll'll‘l'ltifittd by
the marriage of William Oscar Stilfiiii,
:i weltknown South Not-walk shociiiak~
er, and Miss Elizabeth llccrs, daughter
of Captain Edwin .l. livers. of if?) Mer—
win street. Norwulk. and the event has
provcu quite romantic. ‘

The bride has reached the age of
discretion. it‘ age counts for anything.
(she says she is 48 years old), but. in
her marital affair there has been the.
element itif the irate .paroiit with as
vehement ire on the part of her father.
as if she was but the more chit of a
girl of sixteen.

The bride and groom had been keep.
big company for about a year and the
courtship was decidedly displeasiug to
Captain Beers. Sunday Mr. Suitiin and
Miss Boers went down to Port Chester
quietly and were married. and as quiet:
ly upon their return. went to Wood-
ward avenue, to reside. anti are now
living there. '

When, however, the bride and groom
returned to Norwalk. .and the bride
triumphantly Informed her father of
the step she had taken, she says the
wrath of her father wasso great that
he refused to allow her to enter the
house, to get her clothing and other
effects. ‘

The bride did not. like this state of
affairs, and conferred with a orwalk
lawyer. to get a search warr t. in or-
der that she might regain her belong—
ings. ‘Shefnilcd in this point. and took
another tack. 'Shc endeavored to get
a. policeman to accompany her to the
house to get the things, bill this of-
for. too. was in vain.

The bride learned front her father.
she said, that he had gone to the South
Norwalk police. for the purpose of do
ing something toward getting her mar-
riage annulled. Yesterday she called
open Chief of Police William Vollmer,
and that officer told her that. her father
had not been to him. .She seemed to
be worried about the proposition .of
her father getting her wedding pact an-
nulled, but: the chief was inclined to
believe that she was old enough to get
married, if she wanted to.

Sniiiin is a mtm in the early fifties.
and though formerly married. was di-
vorced. For several .Vcars he has been

Was Absorbed in 'l‘alc ol Victim ol
Assaull iii Wliicli Axc was Used

Dwight. Wtikoloc. of Huntington. a
juror in the criminal superior court,
where yesterday there was heard the
evidence in an assault case. caused a
temporary tidjourmucnt of the case by
collapsing iii the jury box during the
recital of evidence by the victim of
the. assault. _

Dr. F. B. Dowtis‘ was in the building
at the time, and in response to a
message. he hurried to the room. where
he found Mr. Wakelec recovering. The
juror was affected while Andrew Bin~
hey. a chemist of Barton, graphically
described an attack Illlldc upon him
by Joe Iiedrie, one of his choresmen.
who rushed at Mr. Bitincy with an
axe, and succeeded in ca ting both of
his hands. partially”iiicapacltating for
use one of his thumbs and one of his
fingers. .

When Mr. Blnncy told of how the
blood sported front the wounds, and
how, he fell back, unconscious with
tho, madman standing over him with
tlio‘ implement, the ordeal was too
much for Mr. Wakelce, who must. have
a sympathetic nature. for he swoon-

li‘.i).l. & (lo.

 

.ed.

Judge Gager ordered court adjourn-
cd temporarily. When the case was
resumed in the afternoon, Mr. Wake-
lec had quite recovered.

l-iedrie was maddcned at Mr. Binney
because the latter refused to give him
money. The assailant was prowling
about the kitchen of the house at: an
early hour, and Mr. Biniiey questioned
him concerning his presence. The
hired man said he wanted money. but:
he was told he could not have any.
He picked up‘ ten? cents, which he
spent in Barton for liquor, returned to
the premises, seized an axe. and at-
tacked hia employer.

'l‘wo Docks. Sheds and Contents oi
Grand Trunk Railroad Destroyed

I’Oli’l‘LAND, Me. Dec. 4.-——l’ort-
land's fourth large fir within a your
occurred early today, when two of
the eight docks of the Grand 'I‘riick
Railroad Company were destroyed. to-
gether with three sheds and their con-
tents. with a total damage estimated
at upwards of 5150.000. The two
great. elevators of the Grand Trunk
Elevator Company were threatened.
but. the. sheathing of iron which cover"
ed them prevented the flames, getting
a foothold. Tho steamer Cornishmsn.
of the. Dominion Lino, which was load-
ing a cargo for Liverpool, was invaded
by the sparks. and a large quantity of
cattle hay destroyed, but the steamer
sustained no damage.

Two other vessels, the steamer Cor-
Will“, of the Thompson Una, and the
wliulebsck steamer GaJsey, were
warped out of the way of damage.

Starting iii the roar shanty of the
Grand Trunk Railroad shortly after 1
o‘clock, the tire quickly reached Nos. 1
and 2 sheds. under the influence of a.
strong westerly wind, which carried
sparks over the entire length of the
eight sheds.

The iireiiieii wcl‘t' constantly quench-
inginclplent blazes among the row of
sheds. which were started by the
sparks blown front sheds No. 1 and 2.‘

It was necessary to tear down sov-
tlral conveyors which are used to car-
ry the grain from the. elevators into
the steamers. as those offered a possi-
ble. means of access to the elevators
by the flames. The fact. that there is
an extensive docking place between
docks Nos. 3 atid t. and the dying
down of the wind, aided the firemen in
controlling the (bones.

it is estimated that the contents of
the burned sheds represented at least
$100.000. while the sheds and docks
themselves made up the I‘t-‘lllililldf‘l‘ of
the loss. The entire property is cover-
cd by a. blanket insurance.
