GETS HOT STUFF
"OFF HIS CHEST
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—(AP.)
Declaring that the lack of whiskey
is breeding a “race of ping pong
players.” Nathan Douchy. 91 yr
old champion of rum and loba .0.
has spoken his mind about what this
world's coming to.
Celebrating his birthday
days ago with friends at
Conn. he attributed his
whiskey and smoking. Mrs. Alida
J. cumming, leader of the Sta‘nford
Women‘s Christian Temperance
Union. promptly offered to appoint
a committee to investigate what
really made him live so long. She
was certain it was not whiskey. Yes-
terday Douchy replied:
“My ambition has been to live to
a hundred and still drink whiskey.
Seems as though prohibition will
stop me. Just why people consider
whiskey a. thing to legislate against
I don't know. They ought to legis-
late against soft drinks.
"One of the most disgusting sights
is to see a young man ordering a
sarsaparllla soda. My dad would
have licked me had he seen me
drinking anything like that.
“We're getting too highly moral.

young minister pleaded for anothr
chance. but the uncle stood firm.
The minister without saying any-
thing to the. members of his parish
pulled stakes and left town. It is re-
ported' that he moved to‘ Ohio.
where he went into business.
The little town was excited over
the sudden departure of the young
minister and it was not until last
week, that the matter came out and
the girl in the case was named.
The Ash girl in speaking of the
affair yesterday stated that the min-
ister had been going out with her
for over a year before they were
apprehended. He was at the Long
Island church for about a year and
a, hlIf.
When preaching from the pulpit,
the girl stated that the minister
would make a signal to her. which
meant. "I love you."
Now Georgie thinks that this sig-
nal was also meant for many other
women in the church also.
The stories appearing in the New
York papers have caused consider-
able excitement in East Norwalk,
because of'the clergyman's alleged
activities there.
He came to the East Norwalk
church from Darien. where it was
also rumored that he had a simiiiar
affair.
Rev. Shaffnor is young and very
good looking with an athletic build.
He gained considerable attention in
his college days as a baseball
pitcher.
Mrs. Shaffner when she learned of
her husband's trouble in this city
forgave him and agreedio start all
over again with him. She accom-
now believed to have left him.
Several members of the East
Avenue Church Board. who.were de-
sirous of dismissing the young past-
or, on the spot. when his local love
affair was brought to. light, now
claim 'that, they have been vindicat-
ed by his» latest love entanglement.
A break in the governing body of
the East Norwolk church was re-
ported to have occurred at the time.

wire came in contact with the high

rett stood near him with the slack
of the wire running through his left
hand. Newland threw in stone
across the wire and, in the nstant.
both of the men were shocked to
death.

Connects Branchville

M o d e r n L' l n k—
Trains Run 55 Years
.Tho new motor coach service be—
tween Branchvilio and ilidgotield
started this morning when the first
bus left‘ Ridgoficld at 4:55 o'clock.
Thebus service replaces passenger
train service of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Com-
pany. which has been in effect for
the post 66 years. . - ..
The bus will run more often than
the train and will also give service
on Sundays, which was not given by
the trains.
ItlDOEPiELD. Aug. lo.——l"ifty~five
years of service by the Ridgetield
branch of the New York. New Haven
and Hartford Railroad were com-
pleted on Saturday. when the 5:36
o‘clock train arrived at the Ridge-
flold station. The service has been
supplemented by the us. of a spa-
cious New England bug to run
from‘ Ridgefield to Broncbvllle.
Train service to Ridgeneld \during
the past several years hasbeen any-
thing but complimentary and con-
venient. The last time table out only
records five trips to Branchviilo with
no Sunday service at all, while the
new bus servico will provide nine
week-day trips to the Junction and
four Sunday trips. Connections are
to be made with all New York trains
and will permit of much better satis-
faction by patrons. Tho bus will
leave the railroad station. stopping
at, the Post Office and Junction of
Main and Branchville road on route
to its destination at Branchville sta-
tion. No stops will be made at the
stations of Cooper and Florida" as
has been the custom with the train.
The trip by bus will take approxi-
mately twenty minutes time as 0p-
pooed to fifteen by the train. Bus-
es 'leave Ridgefleld as follows on
standard time: 5:55: 6:05; 1:15;
8:50 and 11:20 a., m., and 3:20;
4:55; 5:40 and 6:25 p. m.. on‘week
days; and 8:25 and 10:00 a. m. on
Sundays. It II also understood that
the mail service into Ridgefiold will
be considerably improved under the
bus- system. Postmaster George L.
Rockwell has received many com-
plaints concerning the mail service
to Danbury.
Passenger service on the Ridge.
field line from Branchvlllo began
fifty-five years ago when townspeo-
ple gathered at the railroad station
on July 4, 1870, to watch the first
real steam engine enter the town.
An inspector looking over the en-
gineering on the branch at its open-
ing suggested that he noticed one
more place for a cone. while the
general plan and work was ootisfsoo,
tory. No satisfactory record has
ever been made of the Minibar of
kip both whistle and engineer on
th lookout.
Conductor George H. Wei-r, who
has just completed his Mtb year as
conductor on the branch. says that
the discontinuance of this service
will be “the big est black-eye that
llidgotioid has e or had," and many
complaints have been heard and re-
coived against the change. There
are, however. many people who
agree that the bu service will be
much more advantageous to the
town. favoring the clean and spa-
cious bus to a dirty. slow. smoking
steam engine. Engineer l-‘rnng u.
Seymour, on the branch for twenty
years. will be trahsferrod to the
Norwslk-Danbury line. The discon-
tinuance of the passenger service
does, not. however. mean that there
will be no more freight service. Rog-
ula'r trains will be run.

found in the wreckage of. the pistlt
a body which they believed to be that
of Schwartl. Acid had been applied
to the fact and the fingers cut 0“.
apparently in an attempt to prevent
identification.
It was soon evident that an effort
had been made to make the body
conform to the characteristics of
Schwartz. A tooth. corresponding to
one missing in Schwartz's mouth. had
been chiseled from the corpse. Throo
