Coincidence.
It is a singular as well as interesting
coincidence, that there are at this
moment two imprisoned horse thieves,
one at South N orwalk and one at J er-
sey City, awaiting requisitions‘ from
the Governors of their respective states.
The one at South Norwalk, Starr, is
held for stealing a horse and buggy in
New York, which he drove to Wilton
and transferred to Mr. Blakeslee.
Whether Governor Hill will get
down from his high horse and
ask Governor Bulkeley to surren-
der this prisoner or no, is not, at
this writing,known. It is to be hoped,
however, that politics will be dropped
in the case of such a scamp as this, and
that justice will not be cheated, by his
release on any such unworthy techni-
cality as to who may or may not have
been elected Governor of Connecticut
in the opinion of Governor Hill. Ap-
plication has been made to him by the
New York owners of the stolen horse,
asking that our Governor be asked to
surrender him, but as yet he has made
no sign.
The other horse thief is in Jersey
, Cityj‘gilugwaiting Chief Vollmer’s trip
thither, to bring him to Norwalk for
trial. The Chief has been occupied as
a witness in a case in court. at Bridge-
port, for several days, also he would
have had the thief of the Colyer horse
here ’ere this. Governor Bulkeley at
first declined to give the requisition pa—
pers asked for,on the Governor of New
Jersey, on the grounds that no evi-
dence was apparent that this thief had
ever been within the borders of our
State. Indeed, the first suspicions
were that Mrs. Colycr’s own coachman
had stolen the horse and driven It to
Port Chester and there delivered it over
to the confederate, who appeared with
it in Jersey City, and there tried to sell
it. Evidence came into the possession
of Mrs. Colyer-’5 nephew, Mr. Vincent
0. Griffith, that the thief was seen both
in Darien and also at South Norwalk
on the afternoon of the night when the
horse was stolen from Contentment
Island. Armed with this evidence.
Mr. Griffith took it to Hartford and
laid it before the Governor, who there—
upon promptly issued the necessary ex-
tradition papers for bringing the vil-
lain to Norwalk. He will probably be
here before the end of the week and
put on trial.~ Evidence is in Chief Voll-
mer’s hands that he is an old and pro-
fessional horse thief, and he has a good
show for serving our state at Wethers-
field. There is,all over the country ap-
parently, an epidemic of horse and
buggy, and horse-blanket and whip
stealing. Never have we known the
exchange papers of this and other
states, so filled with accounts of larce-
nies connected with horse and carriage
and stable equipments, and it behooves
all owners of horses. and especially of
good ones, to keep a careful look-out
for their teams when hitched and left
‘ alone, and also to see that their stables
are well looked and guarded.

Waterbury is threatened with a far
more desperate water famine than we
have ever been. I‘ has no accommo-

Among the boarders of a certain

effort was a dismal failureas the crock- ‘
cry slipped from his fingers and was
smashed Into smithereens. The young
gent won’t be so fresh next time.
There has been the usual amount of
kicking because the Court of Burgesses
ordered paid Mr. Warner’s total bill
of $34.70, for services in defending our
Borough in the Maples Hose injunction
case. The only reasonable grounds for
any dissatisfaction certainly cannot be
on account of the amount the Borough
has had to pay, but because of the utter
assinine folly of the whole business.
The hose was bought by the Borough
and delivered here befo 'c the injunc-
tion was served and the subsequent
proceedings in the case, were certainly
worse than farcical. When Mr. Maples
got into court he found he had no case
and so the thing dropped, and the only
thing creditable to him in the whole
proceedings was the promptness with
which he stepped up to the Captain’s
office and handed Attorney Warner $23
for his share of the costs. So far as
the costs to the Borough are concerned
.g‘f the Club. -
the Borough certainly got outof it
very cheap. . _

sance, and a disturber Of the peace,
and that her language is profuse and
exceedingly profane, and that her
threats against the lives of children
and others. may at any time on ful-
filled.” Mrs. Beers is religiously in-
sane and has a notion that she must
offer up the lives of little children as a
sacrifice for her sins. A commission
de lunacy will probably be appointed
to examine into her condition.

Wagon and Killed.
A Hls Mother’s Death Recalled.
wpmes Mitchell received a telegram
thifiimorning from Poultney, Vermont,
stfiting that Charles Jones had been
thTown from his wagon last evening
and killed. 'i‘i'
Jones, it will be remembered, was
the son of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones who
was found dead in her house on Brook
street, Friday August 28th, and was in
N orwalk settling up his mother’s estate
up to about a month ago. J ones re-
ceived $1,300, his prize money, received
after the war, and which he had de-
posited in the Southport Savings Bank,
the interest to be used by his mother
for her support, but she had not drawn .
this interest, living on money allowed
her by the town. .
After receiving his money, together
with his wife, he returned to Vermont,
where he owned a house, and was en-
gaged in buying and selling lace on a
small scale.
The only relative Jones is known to
have had besides his wife, is a cousin.
who resides at Greens Farms, and who
played a very disagreeable pal-t after
Mrs. Jones’ body had been found.

Important Business Change.
The proprietors of the famous Bos-
ton stores of N orwalk and South Nor-
walk, have dissolved co-partnership,
one partner to remain in Norwalk and
the other going to a wider and more
lucrative field of action in a Western
city. The South Norwalk store will be
discontinued from and after Saturday
of the present week. All the unsold
goods remaining there, will be put
into the Borough store, with a large
stock of new and seasonable goods,
so that, with a new organization and
new goods, new energy and increased
enterprise, the parent store here may
be expected to exceed the success of
the past. * - '

tional Federation convention. The police
repeatedly charged them, and used their
batons freely. The mob was a determined
one and fought stubbornly. It was only
with the greatest effort that the oflicers
have— thus far been able to successfully
cope with the rioters. The crowd is ap
parently cowed for the present, but it is
feared that it will again become aggressive.
Women were frequently observed hurling
stones and Wielding bludgeons.
“Silver" Flint Dying.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.——“Old Hose” Frank
Flint is lying on his deathbed at his die
vorced wife’s home on the South Side. He
was taken sick some three weeks ago, and
has had a. violent hemorrhage since, which '
almost proved his death. Since that time
he has been unable to take any nourish-
ment, and the doctors say he will never be
able to leave his bed again. Flint was one
of the great catchers of the decade, and to
his work was due much of the success of
Larry Corcoran, whose remains have just
been placed in their final resting place at
Newark.

ln Buylng a New Hat.
I like a new hat. I am still enough
of a girl for that. and I like to see the
girls in their pretty new hats; but I ‘
want to say this to them : Don’t get a
hat that is too fine for your frocks.-
Don’t spend all your money in elabor-
ate laces and plumes and jets, when a.
simple little turban made of cloth like
your frock, or a black felt suited in
shape to your face, and trimmed with
a wing or two, or some loops of ribbon,
will not only be becoming, but will
stand the winter’s wear, and. by being
brushed often, look almost as ood as
new.——Mrs. Mellon, in the adies’
