“That is my father." she exclaimed.
The woman then told of having read
of the accidental death of Fackner and
of having come to Investigate, in the
belief that the man might be her fath-

NEW HAVEN, July 81.~—With ref-
erence to the large purchase of real
estate by Henry 0. flows. at Eastern
Point, on New Mullen harbor. repre-
sentatives of the press have been an-
able to secure an lntprvlew with him,
owing to his absence from town.
it has, however. been ascertained
that the firm of H. C. Rowe 0. Co.
have been steadily removing their oys-
ters from Connecticut waters to Rhode
Island during the past three years.
and it now appears that they have
transferred at least threequartersof
their oysters to Rhoda island waters,
and have also purchased over 6,000
acres of oyster ground in Suffolk coun-
ty. New York.
it is known that Mr. Rowe has been
searching the coast in eastern Connec-
ticut and Rhode island for a location
which would combine attractive resl~
dential qualities with a central posi-
tion with reference to his Interests
In the three states. New London har-
bor furnishes all of these advantages.
as It Is midway between Ills Interests
in (.‘onnoctlcut and Rhodc island. and
thcrc is direct communication by
steamer to Greenport and Sag Harbor
twice a day.
The tract of land which Mr. Rowe
has purchased Is well known by all
familiar with Eastern Point and New
London harbor. it has one-third of a
mile of frontage on the finest harbor in
New England. and It is of a com-
manding height. so as to furnish an
unsurpassed view of not only the
Thames river and valley. but of Long
island Sound, Fishers island Sound
and the Atlantic Ocean. also i‘lum
island. (iardlners island and Shelter
island.
This tract is larger than any other
possessing such qualities in thc state,
it having a water front equal to that
of nearly the whole of the desirable
part of Pine Orchard, which compuri»
son gives to those who are familiar
with that beautiful shore resort a clear
idea of its extent.
This purchase includes a tract of
land which it is reported Morton
F. Plant purposed to buy bcforc he
purchased his land on the other sidtI of
Eastern Point. The negotiations, how-
ever. were unsuccessful. and the land
had been again placed on the market.
hence Mr. Rowe‘s purchase of this and
adjoining property.

place, where he met the brother. who
was. enjoying a social visit with a
group of three or four friends.

The party went to sleep in the barn.
Yesterday morning Wells went out of
his house to find the other members
of the group in the barn just arising.
but McDonald still apparently asleep.
McDonald was dead. Dr. E. H. Smith,
medical examiner, was called. He

The state will build immediately a

tention from Branchville to Maple-
wood that is projected. ‘there will be
a. continuous first class road for teams
and automobiles from South Norwalk
to Danbury.
The bids for the contract for the work
between Wilton and Branchville will
be opened today. it is expected that
the work will be pushed along to the
earliest possible completion and that
the road will be in shape by fall. Dan-
bury automlbllists are greatly interest-
ed in the proposed ,7 work between
Brancbvllle and Meplewood. where the
highway is almost impassable at times.
because of sand, stones and nits. and
a petition to the state highway depart-
ment to make this improvement as
quickly as possible is in circulation
in Danbury.
At the present time the majority of
the sutomobilists who go from Dan"
bury to Norwallt travel by way of
Ridgeiield and Wilton. rather than
traverse the road between, Sugar Hol-
low and Wilton. by way of Brancbville.
From Cannon to Norwslk there is al-

the interest of those who make the

in no wise detract from the merit of

and the estate of William Ziegler. The
meeting ended dramatically when WlI-'
iiam Andrews, a. prominent citizen and
a student in the Yale Law School.
called Charles Williamson, the town's
representative in the state legislature,
before the meeting and undertook to
heckle him.
Rich men and poor men were out-
spoken ln their denunciation of Mr.
findlcws and not until he apologised
'illlamson did the outcry cease.
Then the meeting adjourned in diam
der. and outside a group of William.
son's friends, headed by Mark Nor-
man. a. New York lawyer and former
Columbia College 'varsity football
player, denounced Mr. Andrew. ,
The proposition to buy the water
company gave rise to a lot of graft
and bribery talk, and much of it was
aimed at Williamson. who is young
and just out of law school. The ac-
tion of themeetlng is considered a.
vindication for him, although the town
dot-idea not to buy the water com-
pany.
DANBURY GAME WITH NORWALK.
Many Wagers Made on Outcome of
Contest.
The coming of the Norwalk team to
Danbury for the second game of the
series with Manager Moore's men on
Saturday afternoon is the subject of
conversation among the followers of
the National sport. A great many
wagers have been made on the out-
come of the contest‘by friends of
both teams. Several friends of tho
Norwaik team having been in. this
city recently with money to place on
the outcome.
There is no way to tell what the;
line up of the Norwsilr team will be on‘
Saturday afternoon as Manager Nash
has volunteered no informstlon along
that line. When the team was hero
two weeks ago it was strong enough
seemingly. with the exception of the
catcher and first baseman, to go
through the season and pile up a. good
ly number of victories. Last year.
however, the Norwslk team had new
men on every visit' to Danbury and in
is not unlikely that some changes will
be made this tins-nudists luau .
