Miss Sarah Richards had been a
member of the 2d M. E. church ever
Since its organization and her funera
was attended by Rev. Dr. Van Alstyne
and not by Dr. Noble as was errone-
ously published in the DAILY GAZETTE
and copied by the hypercritical Senti-
nel.

 

 

From the veiy best of sources, we
learn what we supposed was the fact,
despite the current rumors, that Capt.
Rose does not and never did contem-
plate resigning to avoid the ordered
military examination. Capt. Rose isn’t
the kind of a soldier who runs before
a gun is fired.

The Consolidated road has begun
.the four-tracking of its line in the vi-
cinity of the Redfield quarry in Fair-
field. From this point two tracks have
been laid on the north side of the old
tracks, westward one and a half miles,
extending to the Morehouse crossing in
Fairfield. A large force of men is em-
pl oyed.

Two men were drowned in the lower
Connecticut last week by the capsizing
of a row-boat in which they with others
on board, were “fooling.”

 

Admirers of good hors es are notlng
a pretty thorough-bred Hambletonian,
kept at Mr. Dann’s stable. It is the
property of Mrs. Knight, the Boston
store milliner. _

Improvements are being made in
Elm, Berkeley and Leonard streets
which will commend themselves to
everybody having occasion to drive
through these thoroughfares.

Samuel Jarvis with a gang of work-
men is now at work at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, for the N orwalk Iron
Works, putting Mr. Eben Hill’s patent
hot air compressors into the U. S. gun-
boat Terror.

A council composed of delegates from
the Baptist churches of Fairfield
county, will meet in Norwalk, on the
25th inst, to ordain to the ministery
Rev. F. E. Robbins, the newly elected
pastor of the First Baptist church. .

Street contractors are taking advan-
tage of the fine weather to do needed
work in many of the streets of the bor-
ough. One cannot go in any direction
without noting improvements of al-
most every name and nature.

Mrs. Legrand. Johnson and Mrs.
Lawrence Weed, both of West Nor-
walk, are dangerously ill with pneu-
monia, and it is not believed that the
latter can survive. Mrs. Weed’s hus-
band, it willbe remembered, committed
suicide a few days ago.

 

Should there be anything in the
house furnishing line you are in need
of, go to H. H. Williams,15 Wall street,
as that is the place where you can find
almost any article you are looking fo1;
whether in tin, wood, china, glass or
earthen were you can find it there at
lowest prices.

The present lull in the business of
Norwalk undertakers is a most welcome
bit of news, especially in view of the
fact that various newspapers, in New
York city and elsewhere,.have seemed
to take delight in the publication of di-
vers and sundry exaggerations respect-

ing Norwalk’s hygienic condition.

The Danbury News has the following
in reference to the appointment to the
assistant clerkship of that lively city,
of an old Norwalk war veteran: Albert
Morehouse, Jr., is well qualified to fill
the position of assistant city clerk. He
is prominent as a Grand Army man,
having been a commander of James E.
Moore Post last year. He is a hatter
in the employ of Crofut & White.

If you notice any of our nice married
men coming down town early mornings,
wearing countenances of great solem-
nity and walking with stiffened joints
and curved spines, it isn’t because they
are suffering from a sense of sin, or
rhubarb pie, or have muscular rheu-
matism, or been on their knees in pen-
itential prayer. It is all because the
clear wife is enjoying a season of house-
cleaning at the home, and he, poor fel-
low has had to help lay a carpet or lift
a bureau, that’s all.

The “era of good feeling” was made
manifest yesterday, Ascension Day,
when owing to the janitor of Grace
church not having shut off his gas, the
services announced to take place there
at 10.30 a. m. were omitted and Rector
Watkins immediately went up to St.
Paul’s to hear his good brother Gra-
ham. Then last evening, St. Paul’s
zealous champion, Rev. Bro. Ellwood,
was seen at Grace Church, and as rev-
erent a worshipper as any. This is as
it should be. “By this shall the world
know that ye have learned of me, in
that ye love one another. ”

 

One of our bright Methodist pastors
relates, with some satisfaction, that the
Rectors of the Episcopal churches of
Norwalk have been almost entirely re-
cruitedfrom the ranks of Methodism.
Rev. Mr. Graham, he states, was form-
erly a Methodist preacher. Rev. Mr.
Hallock came out from the Methodist
pulpit, while Rev. Mr. Watkins’ father
was' formerly an eloquent Methodist di-
vine. To this may be added that» the
late Rev. Dr. Mead was first a Metho-
dist, Rev. Mr. Selleck, brought up in
the Congregational church, Rev. Mr.
Elwood was formerly a Congrega4
tional preacher, and Rev. Dr.
Childs, one of the ablest preachers and
teachers of the Presbyterian faith, is

 

 

now an Episcopalian.

The Mr. George Hoyt, who fell from
the top of the Benedict house in New
Canaan yesterday, exclusively an—
nounced in the DAILY GAZETTE, was a
brother of Mr. James J. Scofi'eld ‘of
Belden avenue. His condition is
thought to be a trifle improved to-day.

Dann’s new consignment of horses
show the effects of their week’s im-
prisonment on the cars, during the
cold snap. But one seems to have ta-
ken cold, which shows they are are-
markably tough lot of roadsters.

A near by resident of the Prospect
place on Harbor avenue, wishes the
GAZETTE to call the attention of the
health committee to the sewage that
runs from a pipe at that place on to the
track and from thence finds its way
along the surface to the pond rear of
the Capt. Demmon place. To the cilia-
via that arises therefrom he ascribes a
portion of the illness' 1n that vicinity.

WHAT MISS SPINSTER SAYS:

That the counting of the ballots pro-
ceeds slowly; it looks as if one side was .
afraid and that the other da’sn’t.

That this is going to be a great fruit
year, if the-blossoms mean business and
Jack Frost isn’t too previous.

That the cold snap appears to have
nipped all social gayeties.

That nothing abashes la grippe; it
visits the just and the unjust.

That children ought to play. From
the nursery to the narrow house is but
ashort journey, and in the brief space
between the two,the pleasantest domain
ought to be that of childhood. Their
childhood should be the holiday. of life;
its slave day will soon be upon them,
and then farewell forever to the merry
world. If every child could be prop-
erly instructed intellectually, morally
and religiously, a very few generations
would suffice to bring about the millen-
nium, and if the foundations of a life-
long cheerfulness cOuld be at the same
time laid, by affording to all children
full opportunities for innocent enjoy—
ment, what a merry _ millennium it
would be. That being out of the ques—
tion, let us do the best ‘we can. Away
with all the tribe of humbugs who
would cram them in school and make
automate. of them out of it. Teach the
children winningly. Let them frolic
unrestrainedly. Some children are ut-
terly broken down physically and men-
tally by over-education. Others have
no education at all. Of the twain, the
former are more to be pitied. The
uneducat ed can afterward educate them—
selves. But children who have had the
vitality and spirits of their youth dra-
gooned out of them by martinet teach-
ers can never repair the damage that
has been done to their bodies and
minds by over-tasking.

That President Harrison’s trip seems a
good deal like a royal progress in the
cordiality of the greeting extended.
him wherever he goes.

A Sudden Drop in Pie.
The horse which transports over a
thousand a day of EllS’ popular pies
about our town and its siiburbs, and
who had always been considered as
staid and steady as a Presbyterian dea-
con, took it into his stupid head yester-
day afternoon, when near St. Mary’s
church, to get crazy scared at the big
Steam road roller. He dashed over in-
to the DeKlyn place yard, struck a tags
and utterly demolished the vehicle,
while poor George Ells, the pies aifd
pie plates’filled the air-’as if fired Out of
a catapult. Fortunately, Mr. Ells was
not dangerously hurt, though quite se-
riously shaken up. '

 

' sublime PhilOsbphy.~

The average woman is a born philos-
opher. There’s no doubt about it.
And there 1s abundant testimony in its
favor every day if we but take the
trouble to “make a Rate on’t. ”
Yesterday afternoon, about 4 o’clock
-two ladies were driving up wen street
in a phaeton. The horse Was evidently
what is known as “a woman’s horse.”
That is, ‘he was one of those docile,
submissivecreaturer‘which would‘do
its best to climb a pole if clucked on
bya woman holding the reins. But
“to return to our grandmother,” as
Artemas Ward would have said. These
ladies, more especially the driver, ap-
parently desired to hitch somewhere
along the east side of Wall street and
espying what she considered an open-
ing next to a rig owned by a New Ca-
naan inan, she calmly started toward
the curb. Now with an abundance of
room above the space occupied by the
New Canaan outfit, in front of the
Opera_House entrance, what do you
suppose that woman did? She shot
directly across the stern of the New
Canaan craft, as nautical men would
say, and got the OE hind wheel of the
latter all tangled up in her vehicle, but
still she kept on, although with every
forward movement of her animal the
New Canaan horse was pushed onto
and across the sidewalk, while the total
wrecking of the New Canaan wagon
seemed assured. Then it was that
Lieutenant Matheis and others rushed
out, seized the “woman’s horse” by, the
bits and after much, pushing and pull-
ing disentangled the wagon snarl.
Then the woman who had unconscious-
ly done her best to precipitate a runa-
way and bad smashupsmiled as se-
renely while driving away as if she had
merely stopped to make a friendly
salutation.

That woman is a natural philosopher
goes without saying.

LOTS OF PLUNDER

The Wilton Thieves Havea Housie

Owners identifying Their Goods.

v“.

Selectman Ambler of, Wilton yester:
day went to the house of the arrested
sneak thieves and burglars, and exani-
ined the mass of stolen property heap-
'ed up there like some immense second
hand furniture auction store hous.

.6:nfies, Mrs. HickOk' andMessrs. Ban-
- attend Disbrow of Wilton, all of

Among other stolen property are
eight pairs of new heavy woolen blan-
kets with the Minneapolis tag on them.
They are said to be worth from $5 to 88

some store, as the bale had not been

undone. There is a large new Brussels
carpet, rolled up, that looks as if it had
been taken from some one’s parlor soon.
after having been laid. There is a
roll of-nearly new oil cloth marked “C.

Swartz, Bedding Station. ” A linen
cuff was also picked up marked with
ink “C. Swartz.” This would lead to

the _ suspicion that the residence the

Ex-Sherifi' leased in Redding last sum-

mer had been raided.

The house occupied by the thieves
and raided by the detectives is situated
in a secluded spot in the northwest
Corner of the town of Fairfield, near
the Westport line, and is about a mile
southeast; of Greenfield Hill. The
thieves have lived there for six years
and the building 1s said to have been
owned at one time by a German living
in Norwalk. _Detective Cronin and
Officer Arnold are in charge. They
allowed people'to take away such things

as they were enabled to identify.

The officers took to Bridgeport a
number of articles used by the burglars.
Among them were 150 keys of all sizes
and, shapes that would fit almost any
lock manufactured. Some of them had
been stolen and on the checks were the
initials. On a. number of bunches were
the initials “D. & N. ” and had been
stOlen frOm the Danbury & Norwalk
R. R. Co. Another contrivance was
what might be styled an “incendiary’ s
It contained
two separate parts connected by tubes.
The upper one was over a foot long and
similar in shape to an egg It was in-
tended to hold light fuel for starting a
fire which was started by a bellows, the
air passing through the tubes. At one end
was a hole from which the blaze could
be: blowed against whatever the opera-
tor desired to set on fire. Thus when
it was desired to set a house or build-
ing on fire all that was necessary was
to press onthebellows and drive the fire
against the woodwork or inflammable
material. Again when a lock bothered
them in a few minutes they could burn
it out. :The “lighter” is of convenient
size to carry and if it is the invention
of Luddington he is a genius.

The officers also found 500 yards of
dynamite fuse. It was probably stolen
from a quarry.

An important discovery was that of
an Allen revolver with long barrels,
which implicates Luddington and his
colleagues in one of the boldest robber-
ies ever committed in this section of
the state. About a year since Col.
Bradley of Greenfield Hill was aroused
early one morning to find burglars in
his house.

One of them pointed a pistol at his
head and cautioned him not to move or
he would shoot him. They then took
everthin‘g valuable that could be car-
ried away. The robbers wore masks.
While in the house a ball was dropped
from the Allen revolver. When they
left Col. Bradley picked it- up. He
visited Luddington’s house yesterday
and found that it was of the kind used
in the revolver. This is sufiicient to
give Luddington a long term at
Wethersfield.

A large number of people visited the
house yesterday in hopes of finding
articles they had lost. Many were suc-
cessful. Several complete sets of bur-
glar’ s tOols were found.

There was also found a large and
elegant church or family bible, which
may be the one stolen from the Greens
Farms Congregational church at the
time. the church organ was stolen in
Open daylight, about a year ago, and
which was undoubtedly their work.

They are probably the burglars that
have several times entered the cellar of
our patient friend Walter Fitch, and
stolen his pork, hams, butter, lard,
preserves, pickles, cakes and pies, and
who have annually raided his chickens
and stolen them by the hundreds,
also the other similar thefts about'Nor-
walk were no doubt the work of the
same parties.

The trial of Luddington and the Con-
roy woman will take place in Wilton

 

feat them, they will have to play; ball

to-morrow. Meantime they are held
at the county jail. '

Tried to Kill Himself. -
'J. Halsey Kemper of Westport, son
‘of ex-Selectman Charles H. Kemper,
attempted suicide yesterday afternoon
by shooting himself in the head- with a
revolver. No serious results are feared.
Kemper, who is about 30 years fiold and
highly educated, was closing a three
weeks’ debauch when he staggered into
Dr. Cannon’s drug store and fell into a
chair. Placing the weapon behind his
car he pulled the trigger. The ball
lodged near the brain where the doctor
found it. I
Ballot Overhauling. ‘
Last evening the following named
gentlemen assembled, with Town Clerk
Smith, in the town clerk’s office and
opened the ballot boxes. Messrs. C.
B. Coolidge, B. S. Keith, John H.
Light, Lester L. Sherwood and Ber-
nard C. Feeney.
No attempt at a ballot recount was
made, except of the rejected ballots,
and the only interest \was in the Third
district. In that box a lot of new bal-
lots never counted or folded was found
thrown in with the ballots of election
day. There were 44 rejected ballots; 30
of these, “rejected for not being print-
ed in conformity to law,” were prohi-
bition ballots that had "for congress”
on them; 14 were rejected for “envel-
opes not sealed.” Of these one envel-
ope was empty, nine were Morris 'bal-
lots and four Merwin ballots.
The Morris quo warranto proceedings
open to-day, pursuant to agreement be-
tween counsel. It is hoped that a way
out of the present unsatisfactory state
of things will be speedily found.
