Till Tappers Caught.
For some weeks Mr. F. F. Byxbeo
has missed small amounts of money
from the money-drawer of his restau-
rant on Railroad Place. Yesterday he
discovered the source of the leakage.
The drawer is an ordinary one and is
behind a small counter at the front end
of the store. The rear or kitchen of
the restaurant is shut off from the main
room by a partition and a screen door.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Byxbee was
out and both the waiter and the cook
were in the kitchen. Two children, a
boyznd agirl, aged about ten years,
and living near the restaurant, were
seen to go into the restaurant, and on
coming out go over to the depot res-
taurant, where they expended seven-
teen cents. Mr. Conners, the cook at
the Byxbee restaurant, accused the
children of takingthe money and they
confessed and gave up the balance they
had taken, about forty cents. How
much they have taken from time to
time Mr. Byxbee has no positive way
of telling, but he is sure that it is quite
a large amount. He thinks that other
children were also more or less inter-
ested in the peculations. He now re-
members of having seen the boy sneak
from behind the counter, but never for
a moment-thought he was there for the
purposieypfa theft. Mr. Byxbee feels
Sorry for theparents of the children
and we understand will not prosecute-—
for the present anyhow.

Nor-walkers in London.
In yesterday’s cablegrams from Lon-
don,mention is made of the ceremonies
attending the laying of the corner-stone
of the new theatre for Daly and the
presence there of Messrs. George Clark
and William Yardley, with Consul-Gen-
eral John C. New, two or three M. PB.
and scores of noted English and Ameri—
can “stars of the stage.” The despatch
goes on to say that an unfortunate in-
cident of the occasion was connected
with the christening of the new theatre.
When the moment came to break the
bottle of champagne that was suspended
above the corner-stone, Mrs. Bancroft
drew back into the crowd and let the
bottle fly. It smashed into a thousand
pieces, one of which flew back and

MET AFrEii TWELVE YEARS.
Mrs. Elmira Glaze Faces .Her Husband
in Court. '
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Eimira Lamb was
married to George J. Glaze Nov. 27, 1878,
and the way before them seemed bright.
She, was the daughter of Chester Lamb, 8
well-to-do merchant, who lived at 216
“Test Fifty-third street. He wasa widower
with two children. His father was a
member of the firm of Glaze & McCreedy,
of N o. 15 East Fifteenth street.
Glaze took his young wife to live with
his parents, but matters did not go smooth-
ly. She owned in her own right a house
and lot in Fifty-ninth street. She signed
a conveyance of this property to the elder
Glaze under the misapprehension that she
was signing a mortgage. There were fre-
quent quarrels and finally the wife re-
turned to the house of her father.
Glaze went to California, where he has
lived ever since. Shortly after he left this
city Mrs. Glaze discovered the nature of
the papers she had signed.
A verdict to set the conveyance aside
was declared invalid upon technical
grounds. Mrs. Glaze then agreed to a
divorce suit with a settlement of $2,000.
The divorce was granted, but she failed to
get the money. Another suit followed
and the divorce was set aside.
The elder Glaze died in April last, leav-
ing an estate of $250,000. On Tuesday last
the son, who had come to this 'city to
settle up the estate, was arrested at No.
$17 East Sixteenth street. Mrs. Glaze ap-
peared before Justice Hogan at Jefferson
Market and told her story. Glaze gave
bail and the hearing was postponed until
the 10th inst.
The Damage Suit Against Edison.
BOSTON, Nov. 2.—-A partial victory has
been secured by Edward B..Welch in his
suit to recover $250,000 damages from In-
ventor Edison for alleged breach of con-
tract. VVelch’s claim against Edison is
based on an alleged agreement made by
Edison in 1869, when the latter was a tele-
graph operator. It is to the effect that
Edison was to transfer to Welch one-half
interest in all inventions for the transmis-
sion of messages by telegraph. This trans-
fer was to be made in consideration of
various sums of money loaned to Edison
to help the latter in his experiments. The
suit will come up for hearing next month.-
Newark Hat Factory Burned.
The hat factory of Joseph Mercy, at
No. 88 Richmond street, Newark, N. J.
wasgutted by fire before daybreak Sun-
day. The loss is variously estimated at
from $30,000 to $75,000. The origin of
the fire 13 unknown;
The 150 hands employed will be idle
onlfione day, as Mercy will start up his
busmess again to-morrow morning in

Hotel Gehebe Returns.
Count _Gehebe reports the committal
of 17 prisoners and 159 tramps at his
hotel’during the month of October last
past. Last year for the same month,
the committals were 7' prisoners and
181 tramps, or R. R. Tie-hoppers. As
there are Just seventeen saloons about
the Borough centre and just seventeen
prisoners committed last month, the
Count suggests that the town would
have saved money. could one prisoner
have been kept over night in each one of
the saloons, as they were all committed
for intoxication.

Borough Laying DOWn Walks.
The borough authorities commenced
laying down tarred walks on Chestnut
street this morning, in front of those
properties where no notice had been
taken of the official orders for the put-
ting down of such side-walks. The
Borough officials are determined. that
In all cases where side-walks have been
voted to be laid and due legal notice
served on the property holders, if not
done by the owners the Borough will
do it and put a lien on the property for
the full amount of its cost.

A Wicked Western Girl.
A story is now going the rounds of a
Western girl whose family were more
gifted with gold than education. Wish-
ing to do the proper thing they took
her to London for the season. They
secured for her the services of a titled
lady, who gave her charge instructions
not to speak unless spoken to and to
look pleased all the time.
At the Westerner’s first appearance
the noble chaperone, thinking her in-
structions were being too closely fol-
lowed, thought she would try some
conversation. So she said, playfully,
“Well, my dear, and how do you like
your first party?” “I wish I was to
hum and the party was to h—l,” was
the embarrassing response.
' * History sayeth no more.
Fire at South Norwalk.
About 7 O’clock this morning, Henry
D. Fox, employed at the hat shop of J.
C. Wilson & 00., corner of South Main
and Cross streets, discovered that the
roof of the drying room of that shop
was on fire. Each floor Of the shop is
supplied with 75 feet of hose. Not wait-
ing to sound the fire alarm, he with two
or three other: soon brought a stream
to bear on the flames, and it was not
long before they had extinguished them.
Supt. Charles Sherwood was approach-
ing the factory at the time and saw the
smoke coming from the roof, which he
at first mistook for steam. He sudden-
ly realized though that the roof was on
fire and seeming the key ran to box 9,
corner of Concord street, and pulled
the alarm, which was promptly respond-
ed to by the arrival of both hose car-
riages. Conneclions were made with
near-by hydrants, but no water was
turned on. The fire caught from one
of the flues used in heating “slu s” for
the finishing room. It was on y last
Saturday that the fines had been newly
covered. It is believed that the pipes
leading therefrom became overheated
and communicated with the wooden
roof of the drying-room budding,
which is of brick, the main factory be-
ing of wood. But for the prompt action
of Mr. Fox and others. a serious fire
would no doubt have resulted. . The
damage, whiCh Mr. Sherwood Without
special examination, estimates at less
than $1,000, was mostly by water. A
large number of hats in process of manu-
facture were thoroughly. saturated With
water. The floors of the trimming and
finishing rooms were thoroughly del-
uged. While Old Well truck was _on the
way to the scene. the driver of Miller &.
Semple’s delivery wagon, stopped and
kindly offered to assist in getting the
truck to the fire. Connection was made
with the wagon. The horse started up
suddenly and the strain being too much
he jumped clear out of the harness and
ran for a block or two when he was
stopped. Supt. Sherwood has telee
graphed for J. C. Wilson of the firm
and expects ‘him here at noon. The
loss is covered by insurance. .

A Mill Wheel Stopped by Eels.
The large flour mill of M rtin L.
Dunn,at Bordentown,N.J., was obliged
to stop Saturday. For several days
the large turbine wheel had not been
working easily, but apparently all the
machinery was in order and no explana-
tion could be found for the trouble.
Saturday it stopped entirely, and ex-
aminationshowed that the wheel was
clogged With eels. They had to be cut
off With hammer and chisels, and bush-
els of eels were taken down. Mr. Dunn
has owned the mill for forty years, and
never had a like experience before.

Evangelistic Services.
These meetings, to be held in the
Methodist church promise to be of
much interest. They are in the inter-

a special feature at each meeting. .

Foot Bail.
Quite a large and interested crowd of
spectators attended the foot-ball game
between the Y. M. C. A.‘ team and the
team from Westport, at the Fair '
Grounds Saturday. The game was
fiercely contested, but the Westport’sem
were no match for the heavy and scien-
tific Y. M. C. A. team, who had no
difficulty in making a score of 24 to 0'. .
Frank Lander, of the Y. M. C. A. ’s
kicked two pretty goals from the field,
and Camp, Raymond and G. Lauder
made touch downs. With a little prac-
tice and some good coaching, especi-
ally on interfering, the . . A.
team ought to be able to cope with any
team in the state outside of the colleges.

naturally refused, and hence the suit.
l‘he verdict rendered Saturday even-

Hoosear $146.75 for the sheep, and all
the costs in the case, which it is esti-
mated will amount to some $500 more.
It is said Mr. Van H. would have com-

The C. N. G. at Chicago.
At the National Guard convention in
Chicago last week General Embler was
appointed a member Of the committee
to draft and present to Congress a bill,
calling for an appropriation for the
transportation of the militia of different
states to Chicago in 1893, and the cost
of their sustenance duringa two week’s
encampment there.
The encampment, General Embler
thinks, will be held in August. He sug-
gests that the C. N. G. hold no encamp-
state pay the men part, if not all, of
There
will be at least 90,000 National guards-
men and 10,000 regulars in camp there.
“There should be an inspector ap‘
pointed for the big encampment, said
Gen. Embler last evening. “He should
be a man of wide experience in mili-
tary matters and should tell us whether
our work is creditable, whether we are
doing any good. I am sure the soldiers
of the National guard throughout the
country would be glad to have their
work criticised. The men could have
an opportunity for grand maneuvers-
similar to those the army of France
held last ear, and there would be
other bene ts derived from the pro-
posed encampment.”
Marvelous Speed.
The most wonderful record made by
any wheelman, 1n the great Relay Bi- '
cycle race from Hartford to New York,
was made by Clinton Seeley, of N or-
walk. in his relay run from the Mahack-
emo Hotel to Port Chester. From South
Norwalk he wheeled up over high Flax
and Roton hills. the two equally steep
hills just east and west of Stamford,
and the still larger and more formida-
ble “Put’s Hill” at Greenwich. No such
heavy grades were encountered any-
where else on the entire line from Hart-
ford down to New York as these that .
came within Seeley’s run. He left South
Norwalk at 12.07 and reached Stamford ,
in 27:1— minutes. Here, at Stamford, he
was to have given over his dispatch to
Keeler, but being still fresh he kept on,
telling Keeler to follow, and as sOon as
he overtook him, he would hand over
the message to him. Seeley got to
Port Chester at 1.10, and several min-
utes before Keeler’s arrival. Seeley
never left his weeel once between N Or-
walk and Port Chester, and when the
terrible grades-on his run are taken in-
to the accountut was the most wonderful
road performance over yet made on a
bicycle. This being the fact it is sur-
prising that no mention of Seeley is
made in the Sun’s report of the race,
although In part accounted for, in that
the Sun’s account, contrary to its usual
custom, was the poorest and most inac-
curate of any published. ’
