The details of a terrible tragedy of
which Norwalk parties were the victims
have just reached here from Missouri.
The particulars, as told by the Iron Knob
Index. of Jan. &1 are as follows:
Late last summer there arrived in this
village a man and woman of middle age
with an infant child. 'Ihey stopped for
a short. time at the Elmo hotel. Where
the gave their names as hir. and Mrs.
Jae son. of Kansas city. They after-
wards moved into a house on Banks ah.
the man setting tune" up as a repairer
of watches. cl 5 and jewelry. Busi~
ness. however. was very poor with him.
and together with his passion for drink.
the couple had a bard time to get along.
It. has been oberved of late that the man
was drinking more heavily than ever.
and has shown a very ugly disposition
on such us.
On Wedneda‘guuisht last the neigh-
bors heart d noises and terrible
screens g from the house sum-
moned ESNJ. who. wish
a number of others entered the house,
but too late to prevents terrible tragedy.
They found that the man. while evident-
ly in a state of crazy intoxication. had
beaten the woman with an ax until her
features were scarcely recognizable. and
had then cut his throat With a knife.
The child lay upon its bed unin‘ured too
young to realize itsdangcr. ' be men
was dead when found. but the woman
lingered some two hours before dying.
during which time she was occasionally
conscious and able to talk in an incohe-
rent “tanner. (
It was gathered from he conversa-
tion that the coiipleoriginsii came from
Connecticut. where they were well com
nected. the man having deserted a wife
and family to chips with the woman,
who seems not to have been married.
The right names of the parties could not
be clearly understood. bit! was thought
to be either Kemp or liralv.
\‘i'lien the couple first arrived here
they were quite fleshy people. but dissi~
potion by the man and cure and Wiirry
on the part of the woman. had reduced
them very much at the lust. .
As there was nothing of value or to
indicate the names or address of friends
found among their effects. they were
buried yesterdsv at the rxpflist‘ of the
town in the Vest lirancti burying
ground. The child is :i bright and heal-
thy looking girl baby. and has been ta-
kcn in charge by the town authorities
and will be properly can-d for. The true
history of the parties and Ilit‘ll’ wander-
ings since leaving tlicir native state will
probably never be known in this section,
although many are i‘llfltlllti to know it.
The above account answers in every
particular the tIi‘Si‘l’lllIltIll of S. A. Brady
and Stella Kent. and the circumstances
connected with their .lnpement from
Norwalk about tw.» years ago. Brady. it
will be remembered. lived with his fam-
ily in Berkley Place. and at one time did
lI prosperous business as It jeweler. lie
frequently acted as conductor on the
horse cars. and his face became familiar
to nearly every one who had occasion to
ride betweewtbe-ei‘y and the borough“
Miss Kent was a tin-possessing young
woman of perhaps twentv-tive veers of
age. and boarded in the same house
with the family. Brady. it is said. be-
came devotedly attached to Miss Kent.
causing trouble in the family. and she
was obliged to find other boarding ac-
commodations. Shortly after this no»
cnrrence the couple sloped. Nothing
was heard from them afterwards which
could give any definite clue to their
whereabouts. It was reported a short
time ago. however. thiit a friend of
Brady‘s in the borough had received a
letter from him. [net-marked Kansas
City. in which Brady said he was lead-
ing an unhappy life and wished he was
back again in Norwalk. From Kansas
City the couple probable went to Iron
Knob. where they met their terrible fate.
The news of the tragedy created a
sensation when it became known in
town early in the Week. and some were
loth to believe that the victims of
the awful crime were Brady and Miss
Kent. but the above combination of cir-
cumstances would seem to leave no room
for doubt in the matter.
NI‘V YIDIK OYSTER BIDS.
Legislation to Restore a Declining la-
dustry.
It has been evident for several years
that the oyster industry within the wa-
ters of New York was in a decline. and
that something must be done to restore
it to its old proportions. Aocordiugl

versitv, a communion to ‘ to into the
causes of the decreased amply. The
commissioners traveled extensivclv. In
France they found that a small bed to
which the more modern methods of sci-
sntldc cultivation had base a was
able to supply oysters client: for al-
most the w ole of that cisintr .. As the
result of their inquiries three ls have
been introduced in the assembly which
are likely to becomclawl andtcrestore,
at. least partially. the [towing of eye-
terii. As thchoylstora?!‘ a: “it; only

iers of the state: Three of the fish com-

tual use for such purposes. and they

not a single steam dredge in Connecti~
cut. Now tbcrcare fift seven and no
complaint is made. But cw York must
allow steam dredges also. or else lose in
the competition. The present law does
not permit the use of dredges in the vi.
cinity of New York. and steamers repre-
senting many thousands of dollars and
employinf sixty men. are compelled to
mm‘ id .
The third bill is for the protection of
the oyster beds in the waters of the state
of New York. It provides that it shall
not be lawful for any person or corpora-
tion to place or permit to be placed in
any waters of the state any kind of ref-
use matter resulting from any process of
manufacture. or treatment of crude or
refined material from any oil works. su~
gar works or gas house. or to deposit in
said waters any substance injurious to
oyster culture: also that it shall not be
lawful to throw fi'om any vessel what~
socver into the waters of the sound. or
into the bays and harbors opening into
the same. west. of the line drawn from
Eaton’s Neck due north to the boundary
line between New York and Connect»
cut. any cinders. ashes. refuse or arb
age. Any violation of this act I be
a misdemeanor. The. oyster commis-
sioners are authoriaed to appoint a state
oyster protector. to patrol. under his di-
rection. the oyster region of the state.to
enforce the provisions of this act. and to
guard theoystcr roricrty of the state.
The salary of the protector shall be
$1.000 per year. to be paid as the game
and fish protectors are paid.
This last bill passed the New York As-
sembly by an almost unanimous vote.
The (ilen t‘ove Gazette says of itt—lt is
the same old uticnnstitutionality so
thoroughly exploded and defeated hist
year. As hundreds of mills and manu-
factories run their refuse water into the
drains and sewers discharging into the
natural alrealtls of the suite. the incur-
poniled cities and villages will. under
such a law. be compelled to refuse the
sewage of the refuse water. and confine
the sewage exclusively to the accumula-
ted horrible lilth of the population: and

oyster bed is prohibited from discharg-
ing its refuse into the stream on which
it is located; as well its the sugar refine.

T“ I: “'IN II KTURM,
Some of Its Incidents in Different I‘arts
of the State.
At Waterburv. says the American.
the walks on Friday were covered with
ice and light snow. Saturday morning
it had not thawed at all. yet the walks
were clean and the dust was blowmg in
volumes. During the morning of Satur-
day there was no telegraphic communi-
cation west on the New England road.
and only one wire to the east was work-
ing. A carbon was blliwn out of one of
the electric lamps. The heavy sheet
Il'iili 8tl~foot smoke stack at the works of
the Novelty Manufacturing company
blown down bthe storm and ruined.
The works have been shut down until a
new one is erected. Blakeslee‘s new
storehouse was strip of twenty yards
of "soapstone“ run .‘and one hundred
yards of the roof of the spoon shop at
Brown Brothers was stripped of ibi tip.
At Meriden 'a young man had his
cigar broken ofi' by the wind. and the
lighted end went down the street while
the other remained in his mouth. At
the reform school portions of the slate
roof was stripped off. a chimney blown
down. and the tin roofing was started.’
The damage is about #400.
At New London there was little dam-
age, but there was some inconvenience
with the railroad ferry. caused by the
very low tide and the violent wind.
At New Haven the steamer New lla-
vcn was blown ashore at Morris cove
but sustained no very serious damage.
The tin roof of J. I". Goodrich a Co.‘s
carriage factory was partly blown off.
Not much serious damage is reported
anywhere aside from the unrccdug of a
number of houses. but the telegraph
and telephouelincs were genera“ down
and for many hours there was I ttle or
no direct communication between New
York and (Joonecticut towns.

DoVoo'a Prediction.
DeVoe predicts that a severe storm
will form back in Kansas and move
across the country s t for Washing-
ton. D. 0.. and it will strike the Atlau~
tic coast about thehth. and there will be
heavy south-cast Ice and floods in the
Southern states. ut north of latitude
thirty-eight the storm will be snow. and
a snow ockade will occur over a large
portion of the United States. This storm
will strike New York city about the 6th.
and all merchants having goods to ship
should take time by the forclcck. m-
incdiatcly following this store: there
will be a cold wave that will make
everything snap and crack. After the
10th the weather will become remark-
ably warm in the United States. Between
the 10th and totb a heavy storm will
form over the lower lake region and
move eastward. causing destructive
floods in the state of Maine and in Can-
deusc fogs at New York
city and along the New England coast.
About the 18th a cyclone will form in
the South Atlantic ocean and move up
the Gulf Stream. causi vy
easterly nab-s also the iddlc Atlantic
States and on y high tides at New
York city and Long Branch. followed
by a sh cold wave. which will strike
New Yer about the 38d. After the
filth it will grew very warm. and cocti~
one to the end of the month.

The Union Label.
No event of late years has caused such
wide-spread comment and discussion in
the hat trade as the proposed introduc-
tion of the Union Label. There is a
large amount of misunderstan ing
regarding the proposed mimiuno the
label. and ignorance of the facts has in
many instances caused a totally uti-
necesssry alarm. In order to state the
whole matter in a plain manner it is
necessary to review the subject briefly:
In the first place it must be under-
stood that the sole object of thcjiiurney-
men in introducing the label is to pre-
vent the manufacture of "foul“ hats. or
in other words to eventually oblige all
manufacturers of hats to run their shops
under the association rules. employing
no workmen except those who are mem-
bers of Ilatters‘ Trade Associations. No
one will dispute the right of the work-
men to carrv this point, by lawful and
peaceful endeavor. and as it means to
this end they are justified in their en~
desvors to get the label in general use
and demand. Their first step wait to get
the Knights of Labor to issue an edict to
all its members to buy no hats- without
th label, believing that with this
demand upon the retailer. he in turn
would make a similar demand upon the
jobber. and lie in turn again upon the
manufacturer. As no one but a “fair“
manufacturer could use the label. it was
fair to suppose that the "foul" men
would be placed at a disadvantage in
the trade. and would endeavor to turn
their shops “fair."
The jutirneytueti wiseiy determined
not to insist upon the use uf the label by
“fair" manufacturers. but agreed to
furnish it free tusll who should apply.
and who were entitled to its use. but
they at the same time made the restric-
tions so binding and far reaching that
there are many “fair“ shops that cannot
use the label. For instance. a “fair"
manufacturer who markets his goods
throngh a case or commission house
that also handles "foal“ goods cannot
use the label.
As the demand for the label cout-
tttcnced to be felt. the question at once
arose. what is to bedone about the vast
stocks of goods on hand in the jabbing
arid retail trades throughout the country's
if they are to be discriminated against?
In answer to this question the journcy~
men agree to place the labels in all
stocks on hand pmt‘iifetftlie party apply-
ing \vill agree to buy no more goods
made by “foul“ or independent! labor.
Now this is where the juurticytiicn
make a mistake. Their proper and Wise
mode would be tngrunt labels for all
bills now iii stock without restriction“
let it be plainly understood that no more
labels would be issued for such purpo§e
after a certain date. and then let the
label stand upon its merits. As it is.

have tll’gflllllt‘d a powerful army
agattist them. The whole niatti‘r
is in the hands of the jobbers .uf the
country. If they make no demand for
labeled hats from the manufacturer. he.
of course. will not use labels. and the
label which might by it liberal and far
sighted policy become a puiverful weap-
on will fall to the ground from its own
weight of arbitrary restrictions.
The whole matter has been given a ficti—
tious im rtance in many instancee by
the injui iciuus talk of salesmen upon
the road. who use it as a scare to influ-
ence orders. It is an open secret that
the label is being counterfeitcd. and also
that jubbers have taken the labels out of
hats in stock and placed them in others
that were needed to fill orders.
The subject is such a vast one and has
so many ratiiificatiutis that only the
most liberal action upon the part of the
journeynien in the beginning can possi-
bly make the label a success-«Hatter

A Schooner with a History.
The Wasp. the oldest schooner on
Long Island sound. has recently been
thoroughly repaired at New Haven and
is again fit for service. .She was built
at Troy in 1813. is on the old privateer
model and was at first intended for grain
carrying. For 28 veers she was in this
business between New York and Balti-
niore. In It‘ll she was bought by a
Flushing. L. 1.. lumber dealer. During
that year she made her maiden trip on
the sound. coming up as far as Bridge-
port. \Vhilc on her voyage a fight oc~
curred between two Norwegian sailors
on board. which resulted in the free use
of dirk knives and mortal wounds for
both. Other misfortunes attended the
trip; the first mate died of a disease
contracted on board. and the topmosts
of the schooner were carried away in
si ht of Bridgeport harbor in a heavy
gifie. The captain was thoroughly dis-
gusted with t e craft‘s behavior on the
sound and the ill-luck attending the
trip. and resigned his position. Never-
theless the Wasp continued to sail the
sound up to lS‘i‘l. The News. which
describes this incident. says further: “A
mutinv occurred on board the schooner
during the year 1881. when a lot of for-
eign sailors one dark and stormy night
overpowered the skipper and mate, put
them in irons and itn ed them in
the hold. The men had plotted to sail

“IDLEWILD.”
A Terrible Night and Great Safari...
The steamer Idlewild. which ran on
rocks near Shippan Point Thursday
night was floated and towed to Wilson
Point Sunday.
_ The Bridgeport News gives the follcw~
iug detailed account of the accident:
When the steamer struck it wasfmred
that she would soon fill and goto the
bottom as it was thought she might be
out in the sound. There was no real
panic among the passengers and the five
adies on board. one bein Mrs. Dr. L.
H. Horton. were quitecoo and collected
as could be expected under the circum-
stances. Threc boats were lowered
from the davits and the ladies and sev~
eral men occupied one. The other was
soon filled with passengers and em-
ployee. Into the remaining boat crowd-

a young man. said to live on the east
side and named Ladd was also in the
boat. If so. there were nine souls in
the little craft. This boat as well as the
others. had not been loosened from the
diivits tackle. Captains Clark and Van
Wart soon discovered that the steamer
was fast on a rock and in no apparent
danger of sinking as it was ebb tide and
but little water in the bold. He urged
the passengers to return to the steamer.
This they all did excepting the eight or
nine men. out of whom was seen tryi
to loosen the tackling so as tocast c
the boat. The wind was blowing a gale
and the snow blinding. Failing to fee
the tackle. one man took out. a pocket
knife and began to cut the ropes. He
was reiiioustrated with but in vain. The
boat was freed and after being dashed
under the guards of the steamer and
pushed along. quickly swung around
the bow of the steamer and caught by
the gale was carried away in the snow
and darkness. There were two pair of
oars in the boat but only one 'r was
being used as the boat drif out of
sight. The otiicers and others in the
steamer cried to them to return but it
was impossible for them to do so. .
Captain t‘liirk s version of the disaster
is siituewliat difierent from those a.|~
ready made public. The steamer after
leaving Lyod's Neck was headed towards
Bridgeport. \Vhen the snowstorm tame
up, the course of the vessel was changed
northward for the purpiwe of making
some of the lights on the Connecticut
shore. A tuiscalculstion brought the
vessel unto the north shore sooner than
was anticipated. \\’hen the steamer
struck. t‘sptain Clark was at first posi-
tive that some sort of a wreckage had
been encountered. The second shock
revealed to him the fact that the eteam~
er was on a rock. A hasty examination
revealed this to be the case although the
location was then not known. It was
during the period of suspense as to just
how the vessel was situated. that the
passengers took to the boats as above
stated. Captain Clark was urged to
get into the boats but steadfastly refused.
saying that he should stay by the
steamer as long as she held together.
He confirms the‘ story mncerning the
departure of (‘lerk Smith and the fire-
man for the shore. These men saw the
departure of the life boat but supposed
that the craft had been able to get back
to the steamer. Captain Clark gives
the details of the doings of the fifteen or
eighteen passengers on the steamer
from the time the boat struck until
Saturday morning when the gale partly
subsided and the passengers were put
ashore by the aid of a small but! Satur-
day and Sunday morning at low tide.
employers of the boat began to bail
planking over the hole made by a rock,
in the steamers hull. Canvass was also
used on the inside. and Sunda morning
about II o'clock. when wrec ing tugs
had arrived from New York. it was
found that the steamer floated nicely.
She was pulled from between two large
boulders and towed in safety to Wilson's
int.
The life host was picked up Monday
near Old Field Point. 1.. I. It was emp-
ty. and there is no hope mat any of in
occupants survive.

Parker was endeavoring to t to New

some of whom were apparently froaen

but the skipper resolved to bear away
for the boat. when his main‘ -shecta were
rent and the schooner was disabled in
such a manner as to be almost helpless.
It aired the best efforts of his crew to
save is own boat. U the raft were
four persons, two of w were signall-

other two seemed to be either nrostrated
or dead. Under the circumstances the
captain was compelled to leave the
wretched venue to their fate and the
boat soon rifted out of sight.
