Petition [the Selectmen for Use
of the Triangle Opposite the
Fitch School

As a result of the vote of the dis-
trict. meeting in East Norwalk api
pointing Charles E. Dunnebacke, Al-
bert Eldridge and Ralph E. DcWittc
a committee to investigate the matter,
man, will make an address along gen-
tlie sclectmen of the town have been
ing- th deed of the triangular piece or
property opposite the Fitch school so
that it may be used by the district for
a park. The selectmeu evidently do
not feel inclined to call a special meet-
ing for the purpose of deciding the
matter, and indeed. the district‘s rep-
resentmives’do not,usk this course.
and as the next regular meeting will
not be held for nearly three months,
the matter is therefore hanging tire.

The property consists of about an
acre of ground and two years ago was
worth $500 less titan at present, the
increase in, value being due to the
efforts of the selectmen 'toward l1n-
proving the town's property. The cost
to the town has not been one cent,

 

 

” for the material used in filling in the

ground has been waste material,
Which was from necessity dumped
somewhere.

The deed of this piece of property
gives the East Norwalk fire district
the right to erect any building neces-
sary for fire houses or other tire coni-
pany purposes, but it is understood to
be the wish of the district to make
the triangle a park.

There is no reason why they should
not go ahead with the proposition ex-
cept that the fire department delays
them, wishing, it is reported to erect
a tower for drying hose.

DAN‘BURY. March , 7.-—George

Rev. Frank Hatfield, rector of the
Episcopal Church at lirewster, N. Y,,
ten miles west of this city. made a
murderous attack upon two daughters
of the clergyman in the carriage house
up the llart'lield premises, yesterday
afternoon, at. Brewster, and then blew
himself to pieces and one end of the
rnuringe house out with dynamite.

Mead had been in the employ of the
llatfields for several years. lie was
{It yeasr old and mar.rled He had
never shown an unfriendly attitude,
it was stated today toward the dangli-
ters. Yestctday afternoon at his te-
quest, Ruby, aged 20 years, and Amy.
aged 21. carried some tools to Rigid.
who was at work in the ,. carriage
house. As they entered the building
.\Il‘.l'l(l sprang at them and struck Ami"
over the head with a pair of pliers
rpceatcdiy, felling her to the floor.

Ruby made her escape and went ‘to
summon help. According to the story
told by Amy when she had recovered
sufficiently as she lay partly stunned
011 the floor of the carriage house, she
saw Mead step to oneslde of the
room and pick up something which he
lighted as he held it in his hand. This
action brought the prostrate young
iwoman to her, senses and she jumped
up and ran trom the building. Hardly
had she left it when a terrific explo-
siou occurred and the whole of one
end of the building was blown out,
while the interior was wrecked.
Searchers afterwards found It’lead's
body in pieces among the ruins. His
liver, it was stated. was found on the
top of a pole.

An examination of the wounds on
the head of Miss Amy showed that
she had been struck thirty-seven
times, and it required thirty-live stitch-
es to close them. She was said today
to be resting comfortably and was ex~
pected to recover speedily from the
attack. I

NEW YORK, March 7.~—l.ens Stock-
tist, a pretty, twenty-year-old girl.
threw herself to instant death yester—
day from the top of the apartment
house at 498 St. John‘s place, Brook-
lyn, where she had spent the night.
She believed that she had slain her
former fiancee.

Until two weeks ago Miss Stocks
fist had been employed as a maid
in the home of Mrs. M. A. Hewison.
93 Madison street. Then Miss Hewl-
son had her arrested on a charge of
stealing handkerchiefs. Her trial was
called in the Gates Avenue Court Tues-
day, but the girl had fled.

She went directly to 824 St. John‘s
place, the home of Henry Horwege, a
butcher, to whom she had been en-
gaged before the accusation of theft.
Horwege, it is declared, told her the
engagement was at an end and re-
fused to help her In. her trouble

The girl, with a cry of despair,
drew a small hatchet from her
cloak and attacked Horwege. The
two fought desperately for five
minutes, when Horwege' fell to the
floor unconscious.

There was a. wound on his head. a

Fears of Strike “:on April, I Has
Resulied in Activity "in
New York '.

 

NEW YORK. March 7..——,Fenrs of a
strike of the 180,000 anthracite coal
miners on April 1 has causeda general
rush by consumers for coal to carry
them over a strike period“. This sud-
den demand becanie widespread today,

when It was reported that the rail- . I I

roads instead of having a large amount: .‘
of coal in storage in preparation for a
possible strike were really running
short and were making every effort to
increase their depleted reserve.

The hard winter, it was reported,

has made it difficult for the railroads I

to store cost because of the increased
demand. In consequence many deal-
ers have increased the price of coal
from $1 to $1.25 a ton while whole:
salers are charging more. The opera,
tors statenthat the coal at the mines
is now selling at the regular March
price.

A flat refusal of the I’miners de-
mands for n 20 per cent. increase In
wages, a. shorter working day, and

other conditions at. the mines, which _

is to be made by the operators at the,
joint conference with the miners’ com?
mittee next Tuesday is expected tobo .,
followed by certain modified demands
on the part of the miners which will
lead to a general compromise and pre- .
vent a strike on March 31 when the

present working agreement expires. ' '-

Some operators, It is now repaint-are .
willing to grant a five per cent. in.-
ciepse in wages. Beyond stating that-
they would absolutely refuse the presc‘ ’
ent demands, the Operators would not'
say a word on the situation. " ‘
