Vigilant Beats Once More.
The accounts of the race of the Royal
London Yacht Club match on the cour‘s’ie
round the Isle of Wight yesterday,'re-
vive the suspicions entertained by many
yachtsmen that young Gould has “been
playing His Royal Highness for a suck-
- er,”'and that the Vigilant could have
won in all the previous contests had
Mr. Gould so desired. Yesterday both
the Vigilant and Britannia were sailed
with exciting pluck and skill. The
Vigilant took narrow chances when
crowded into‘shoa-l water by her rival,
and both crafts struck bottom, but she
won a glorious victory.

Race of the N.Y. Yacht Club.
The race of the New York Yacht Club
for their half century cup prizes, which
was scheduled to leave Glen Cove at
0' A. M. yesterday, was detained till,
late in the afternoon for want of wind.
There was a large squadron of the most
beautiful sloop and schooner yachts
afloat. It was a day so light in breezes
that every yard of canvas was spread
on the score and more contesting craft.
It was exactly 6 P. M. when the first
yacht turned the Norwalk Island flag
stake. There were about a dozen of
the boats bunched within an eighth of
a mile circle when the Norwalk buoy
was turned. Commodore Benedict’s
imperial Oneida, was the most con-
spicuous feature of the race, as she
slowly steamed ahead 'of the sailing
craft at the Sheffield Reef bell buoy,
her decks alive with interested guests.
As the yachts did not get back to Glen
Cove within the specified time, the race
was declared off, and some day will be
sailed again, as the half century prize
cups are too costly not to be contested
for. To-day the yachts start on their
races up the Sound to New London
and Newport.
The view from the Roton Point Club
House knoll, as the yachts turned the
Norwalk harbor stake, was one forever
to be remembered, as the most enchant-
ing panorama and carnival of beautiful
boats, that ever sailed our summer
seas.
A Patriotic Manufacturer.
The Turners of Western New York,
at their annual gathering recently held
at Dolgevdle, were addressed by Mr.
Alfred Dolgc, a prominent manufac-
turer of "that place and father of West-
port’s manufacturer of that name, in a
speech full of good suggestions for all
American citizens of foreign birth.
While the Turners were in Dolgeville
the town was profusely decorated with
the Stars and Stripes, and no flag of
any other nation was displayed. In the
course of his remarks Mr. Dolge took
occasion to deprecate “the idea that
Germans coming to this country should
endeavor to perpetuate distinctly Ger-
min things, and emphatically favored
the rapid assimilation of things Ameri-
can.” Referring to an animated dis-
cussion that had been in progress for
some time “in German-American pa-
pers and periodicals” as to the future
of the Germans in America, he said
there could be “no future for Germans
as Germans” in this country; that
“every German who acquires the priv-
ilege of becoming a citizen'of this Re
public must become an American, and
if he prefers to call himself a German-
American, the accent should 'always be
on the 'American.’ He is a German by
accident, and has become an American
by choice. While there is no future
for Germans, as such, in this country,
there is a great future for German cul-
ture, German thoughts, German socia- .
bility in America.”
Speaking of the various'efforts that
have been made to form “German col-
onies,” Mr. Dolge said that here and
there settlements might be found so
purely German that the storekeepers
found it expedient to hang out a sign
announcing “English spoken here.”
“Especially in the Northwest,” he add-
ed, “do we find such German, Swedish,
and Bohemian settlements, but innone
of them will you find any signs of pro-
gress. They invariably end in failure,
unless by the infusion of new blood the
dominating clannishness is destroyed.
so that broader ideas can take root and
toleration begin to reign. When this
takes place, we notice the first signs of
Americauism. ”
The concluding paragraph of the ad-
dress, allhough of a personal charac-
. ter, is genuinely patriotic:
“Born and educated in Germany, I
am thankful for all the benefits I re-
ceived from her. It is impossible for
the most selfish or independant man to
throw off. the influences which sur-
rounded him in his youth. Our Ger~
man poets and writers, our philoso-
phers, are still my companions in leis-
ure hours. I think and feel German—
but I am an American, and can there-
(
fererecognize but one flag—the Stars
and Stripes. My heart beats for the‘
country which received me withopen
arm's, which gave ,me opportunity to
found a home} It is my home. It is
the fatherland of my children, and
though only the German language is
spoken in my family circle, I want to
see my boys grow up to be Americans
first, last, and all the time.”
‘Mr. Dolge does _not deem it nices-
sary that an American by adoption
should forget the land of his birth.
He who is capable of such'forgetful-
ness is not the sort of man to make
a gdod citizen of any country. He be-
lieves that there has beenstoo
the German-American, the I-rish...mer-
ican, the Swedish-American, undell
that sort of thing. While this emiuiry
has a‘ great future for the millions of
good people who have come from Eu-
rope to live and work and die under
the Stars and Stripes, it offers no se-
ductive inducements to foreigners to
come and stay here as foreigners.
Those who are Americans by adoption
have .an equal chance here with those
who are Americans by nativity, and
they make a serious mistake when they
insist on being both foreigners and
Americans.
What is wanted here is a land in-
habited by Americans. When .our
elections occur we do not like to see
a candidate asking support as a Ger-
man-American or an Irish-American.
The fact of alien birth is no reason
why a man shoulder should int be
elected to an official position. The
Turners of New York approved. of
Mr. Dolge’s views, as should all who
have surrendered allegience to other
governments and become citizens of
the United States. ‘

solidated road to take immediate action
in reference to guarding against acct,-
dents at the crossing. ~

isrfietxlal Town. 'Mé‘eting.
A special town meeting was called for
33vo’clock, Monday afternoc'm‘, but it was.
considerably after that time when the
doors to the building known as the
Town House were thrown open :and-
about fifty persons were ushered into
about as uninviting a room as one could
well imagine. '
The meeting was called for the follow-
ing purposes: ‘ ’ ‘
To authorize the Selectmen of the town to
widen and straighten the Roton Hill road,pro-~
vided land shall be donated for that purpose
according to survey and map made by ES:
Morehouse, G. E.; and to direct the New York
New Haven & Hartford R. B. Company to lo-
cate the bridge over its railroad on the high-
way so widened and straightened: and to ap-
ropriate the sum of $750 therefor. Also to
instruct said Selectmen to take such action as
they may deem necessary, to widen to a suit-
able width. and to repair the highway between
the Five Mile River bridge and the;re31dence
of W. H. Mosher; and the highway from the
Baptist church northerly, to said Five M119
River bridge; and to make the necessary ap-
propriation therefor.
The meeting was called to order by
Selectman Raymond. Town clerk
Smith was unable to be present, and it
was voted to elect a clerk pro tem.
The following gentlemen were nomi-
nated but declined to accept: A. E.
Austin, 0. E. Wilson, Russell Frost,
Burr Smith, James Toner, Rev. W.
H. Thomas, Benjamin Fillow and Dud-
ley Hoyt. Edwin Fox was finally elect-
ed and read the call for the meeting.
Hon. E. 0. Keller was elected chair-
man.
The number in the room had in the
meantime increased to sixty-five. The
following resolution was presented:
Resolved : That the selectmen be
and they hereby are authorized and in-
structed to widen and straighten the
Roton Hill road from South Norwalk
city line, near Elm Grove place, and
from near the residence of George I.
Keeler, to near the residence of Jacob
B. Raymond, so much and so far as
land shall be donated to the town for
that purpose, according to map and sur-
vey made by Ferris S.Morehouse, C.E.,
or as near thereto as said Selectmen
shall find it possible; and to properly
work and grade said road, the center
line of the traveled path to be the cen-
ter line of the layout, as near as can be
made; and that the sum of seven hun-
dred and fifty dollars, or so much there-
of as may be necessary, be and-the
same is hereby appropriated. for such
purposes from the town treasury, and
the said selectmen are authorized and
directed to expend said sum, or so
much thereof as may be required, in
the prosecuting of said improvement ;
And the said selectmen are hereby
further instructed to request and direct
the New York, New Haven 85 Hartford
railroad company to locate its bridge
over the new road-bed in the center, or
as near thereto as possible, of the high-
way so widened and straightened.
A. E. Austin askedas to whether the
amount was the same as voted at a meet-
ing about two years ago, or. if it was
in addition to that sum, and if the con-
ditions of the vote referred to had been
complied with.
Selectman Raymond answered the
last query in the negative.
Selectman Baker said that the call
provided that the land needed for the
proposed improvement should be do-
nated. He stated that the Railroad
company were ready to build the bridge
and locate it to conform with the pro-
posed improvement, and that it was
essential that immediate action be taken
in the matter, as the company had de-
cided, if it was not settled today, the
bridge would be rebuilt on its present
site.
Russell Frost explained that the lay-
out. change and appropriation were con-
ditional, and that if the property own.
ers failed to contribute the land needed
the passing of the vote would amount
to naught. He thought that the vote
should pass how, for if it was not, the
location of the bridge probably never
would be changed, and that it would
be impossible to make any change in
the road conform with the present lo-
cation of the bridge.
A. E. Austin said that Mrs. Hoyt was
willing to donate the land upon which
it was proposed to place the abutment
of the bridge at the north end.
The question was then called for.
The chair appointed Messrs. A. E. Aus-
tin and O. E. Wilson tellers. In order
tapass the resolution, it was necessary
to have fifty affirmative votes. The first
count showed 46 in favor ; the next 48,
and the final vote, in which the Select-
men voted,'the necessary number was
secured. There were no votes in the
negative.
A. E. Austin then called attention to
that part of the call for the meeting in
reference .to the widening of the high-
way leading from the Five Mile River
bridge. He said that as he understood
it, it was Darien people who most de-
sired the'change. He, himself, would
be personally benefitted, buthe was not
in favor of passing a vote to have it
done, so long as the people of Five
Mile River were not- anxious enough
to have it done to attend the meeting
and vote on the question. If it was a
benefit to Darien, why not let Darien
pay for the same._ .
A motion to adiourn then prevailed.

Chief Hazen Tells the Story of the
Trapping of the Counterfelters.
With three men safely lodged in
Ludlow street Jail, and a fourth under
arrest inNew Haven, and with piles of
very material evidence carefully stowed
away in Agent Forsyth’s ofiice, the
case against the gang of Connecticut
counterfeiters was in such shape Mon-
day that the detectives of the United
States Secret Service Bureau were wil-
ling to talk about it for the first time.
The material evidence consists of
presses, tools, plates, paper fibre and
counterfeit $10 Treasury notes to the
amount of $12,000 ready for the mar-
ket. All this stuff was found by the
detectives on Lorenzo Hoyt’s farm'
near‘Bethel, and was taken to New
York Monday morning.
The story of the two clues which
figure in the case, how they were de-
veloped, and how they were finally
brought together on the hills and in
the valleys of Connecticut, was told by
Chief W. P. .Hazen of the secret ser-
vrcfi: and the New York agent, Mr. For.
sy .
The thing that started the whole in-
quiry was an advertisement which ap-
peared in a New York newspaper about
the middle of June. It was inserted
by a gentleman who makes a. business
of “promoting.” The advertisement
asked for communications from persons
havmg money-making schemes to de-
velop. Among the replies received was
one which looked suspicious to the
“promoter,” and he went with it to the
Secret Service Bureau. The pr0posi-
tion contained in the letter was couched
in cautious terms, but it savored strong-
ly of what is knowu as “shoving the
queer.” It wound up by instructing
the promoter. in case he dé‘cided to
take up the scheme, to reply by adver-
tisement as follows :
I WANT the scheme. Address as before.
. Mr. Forsyth decided on an investiga-
tion and the promoter agreed to co-op-
crate. The reply advertisement was
published, and a meeting was arranged
With the man who had a scheme, and
who gave his name as King, but who is
now known to be Samuel Alexander
Massey. ' M'assey’s original proposition
was to go into the manufacture of sil-
ver dollars out of real silver, on which
there is a profit of 50 per cent. at the
present magk'pt price of silver. After-
ward he let out something about coun-
terfeiting Government notes.
This first meeting took place in
Chambers street, New York, and was
watched by detectives, who shadowed
Massey after its conclusion to his home
at 32 Cooper street, Brooklyn. From
that time until he was finally taken in-
to custody Massey was shadowed, and
his house was watched night and day.
Arrangements were finally completed
for making the deal with the promoter,
and Massey engaged to deliver “the
stuff” on July 28. The promoter went
prepared with $100 of the Treasury
Department’s good money in marked
bills, and for this sum he received
thirty-four counterfeit ten-dollar Treas-
ury notes. These, upon examination,
proved to be an entirely new counter-
feit of the series of 1880, check letter
B, head of Daniel Webster,plate num-
ber 2,250, signed by W. S. Rosecrans,
Register, and J. W. Hyatt, Treasurer.
When Massey was arrested on July 31
he had $670 more of the same stuff in
his possession, besides the marked
money. This seems to have been all
that the gang were attempting to
"shove” as a first venture.
While the negotiations were in pro-
gress the.promoter and the detectives
learned of another man who was associ-
ated With Massey. His name is Russell
B. Hoyt, but at the time all that was
known of him was that he was lame in
his right leg and limped. When Mas-
sey was arrested last Tuesday the fact
did not become known, but Hoyt took
alarm at his disappearance, and on
Wednesday he left town He was shad-
owed by detectives to South Norwalk,
and arrested and taken back to New
York. On his arrival he was taken to
Ludlow street jail, where he found Mas-
sey already in custody, under $10.000
13811,. and had a long‘talk with him. Both
persistently refused‘to ‘tell the detectives
anything. _
Havmg learned that Hoyt came from
Bethel, near Danbury’ and went often
to Visit his brother Lorenzo, on a farm
up there, the detectives went up and
made _a thorough search of the premises
occupied by_Lorenzo. Lorenzo is a
hatter by trade; and his occupation of
the farm had led to surmises. The farm
is now supposed to have been the scene
of the counterfeiters, and was hired not
very long ago from a man named Joseph
Morgan. As an ex’ lanation of Russell
B. Hoyt’s frequen trips to visit his
brother, It'llad been given out that they
were working on some sort of an inven-
tion which required a certain amount
of secrecy. ‘ '
While the detectives were working
around Danbury and Bethe] they unex-
pectedly struck a brand-new lead, and.
this makes it necessary to tell some-
thing of James W. Murphy.
AS long ago as last February, Murphy
went voluntarily to the Secret Service
Bureau in New York and ordered to
give 1nformation of certain counter-
feiters who had employed him, in his
capacity of engraver, to produce a plate
for printing $10 notes of the .Mystic
River N ational Bank‘of Mystic, Conn.
He represented that he was not pre-
pared at that time to put the whole
case into the hands of the bureau, and
he asked for a personal interview with
Chief Hazen. Mr. Hazen came on
from Washington and met Murphy in
Jersey City. Murphy refused to meet
him in New York, on the ground that
the greatest caution and secrecy were
necessary. The agreement entered into
was that Murphy should act as a special
agent of the Secret Service at a salary
of $2.50 a day, leaving the final reward
to be determined :by Mr. Hazen, when
the gang had been apprehended. '
Murphy moved very cautiously and
delayed affairs as much as possible. He
drew $100 in salary without dorng any-
thing, and then he disappeared._- Search.
was made for him high and low, but he
had vanished“ Mr‘. Hazen finally came
to the conclusmn that he was dead. and
the matter was dropped.
Everybody had forgotten about Mur-
phy, and it was not supposed that he
had anyoonuection with the present
case, until the detectives suddenly ran
across him last Fridaygoing along a
' country road in company with Joseph-
Morgan, the owner of Lorenzo Edyt’s

would be found when they discovered
the! plates for Massey’s $10 Treasury
notes. They persuaded Murphy to ac-
company them, although he was not
actually placed under arrest until Mons
day, and he jumped into their wagon
and drove over to Danbury with them.
There he had a long conference With
the detectives and afterward they all
drove out into the country to Hoyt’s
farm and the officers dug~up from the
yard the finest collection of counter-
feiting apparatus that ever came into
the hands of the national Government.
They also put Lorenzo Hoyt under ar-
rest. ~
The officers who had this part of .the
work on hand were James J. Scanlon,
Thomas T. Callahan, and Frank Es-
quirell. At daybreak Sunday morn-
ing the detectives went to Hoyt’s
farm again with Lorenzo Hoyt and re-
sumed digging. After a few moments
they drew a long, package from the
ground and carried it to the wagon.
They continued their search and recov-
ered a number of articles, including
some pieces of machinery and various
small articles and what appeared to be
a bundle of paper. The packages con-
tained $12,000 in the ten dollar Treas-
ury notes ready for circulation and pa-
per enough to printhalf a million dol-
lars of ~ the counter-felts. Engravers’
tools of the finest qualityiand the parts
of a press were also dug up by theof-z
ficers. There were ten plates for print-
ing three kinds of counterfeits-A'Mystic
River National Bank 810, the Treasury
notes, and 820 gold certificates bearing
the head of Garfield. Lorenzo was ta-
ken to New Haven and arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner
Wright. . . —, '
The plates from which Massev’s $10
Treasury notes were printed are of
steel and three in number. One is for
the face of the note, one for. the back,
and one for the seal, which is printed
in red and requires a separate:plate. In
connection With the plates there was
the big wad of 810 notes which were
dug up at the same time and place and
represented $512,000. They were not
quite ready for circulation, as they had
not been treated to the coffee process,
which is employed to give counterfeits
an appearance of age and use.
The next set of plates were those in-
tended for producing notes of the bank
in Mystic. The denomination was $10.
There were four plates in this collection
two for the front and back of the note,
one for the Seal, and one for the bank
number, which is 645. '
There was a set of three plates for is-
suing 820 gold certificates of the series
of 1882 bearing the Garfield portrait.
The signatures are B. K. Bruce, Regis-
ter, and James Gilfillan, Treasurer, and
the check letter is A.
The fibreepaper found was remark-
ably like that which 'is used by the
Government. Manufacture of this pa-
per is a crime in itself. So far as it
is known, it is the first perfect imita.
tion that has ever been produced. It
is the opinion of the detectives that
this paper was actually made by the
counterfeiters themselves'on the Con-
necticut farm.
After all these things had b‘een‘gath-
cred together by the detectives, Mur-
phy was not arrested, but a watch was
kept upon his movements. Monday
morning he walked into the rooms
of the‘Secret Service bureau at New
York, and asked Chief Hazen for $51,000
reward for his services, past and pres-
ent, in apprehending the alleged coun-
terfeiters. The Chief thought things
had gone far enough, and put Murphy
under arrest, charged with complicity
in the conspiracy. It is supposed that
he is the engraver who produced some,
if not all, of the plates discovered.
Murphy and Russell B. Hoyt were
taken before United States Commis-
sioner Alexander Monday for examina-
tion. The Commissioner postponed
the case until Friday at 2 p. m.
Murphy was then arraigned and told
that he was charged with conspiring
with Hoyt and Massey to make coun-
terfeit $10 notes. Murphy was commit-
ted to await examination on Friday.

he went to New York and became a
member of the firm of Cromwell & Car-
ter, in Fulton street. Withdrawing
from this in 1864 he became associated
with the National Trust Co. His New
York home was at No. 135 West Forty-
third street, but he had lived in Nor-
walk for the last six years. He was a
member of the New York Historical
Soclety. He married a Miss Maria
Mott, of New York, and she, with two
children, survive him.

Was It a. Tip?
A local paper yesterdav afternoon
heralded the report that “upon com
plalnt of Chief Bradley, Prosecuting
Agent Honnecker had made out a war-
rant for the arrest of Mrs. Kate Barnes,
daughter of the celebrated Franklin-
avenue drug store keeper, John Tu-
hey, for violating the screen law.”
As the warrant was not signed by
the Justice until nearly 5 o’clock and
the paper containing the statement was
selling on the street at 3 o’clock some
people are mean enough to insinuate
that Honnecker wanted to give Mrs.
Barnes timely notice of the coming of
the officer. As Sam Weller would say,
“It ar’ a coincidence.”

O
Attacked Her With a Knife.
Mary Fitzgerald, of New Haven,
was murderously assaulted Monday
night on the steamer Northam. She
was in a stateroom when Samuel Gor-
man, of the U. S. receiving ship, Min-
neapolis, entered and attacked her,
cutting her face terribly with a big
knife. The. crew rescued the girl.
She was sent to a hospital, and Gorman
locked up. Gorman was jealous of the
girl. Her condition is serious. Gor-
man, after. the assault, attempted to cut
his own throat. ,_ '- -_ ,

The City of Albany; Meets 'Wi‘tli ,
An Accident. '
Towed Back to Her Dock by the ‘
Mabel Stevens.
This_morning at 8.15, as the steam-
boat City of Albany was between Fish
Island and Long Neck, on her way to
New York, Captain Wilson, who was in
the pilot house, felt a. grating sensation
as though the boat “his running over a
sunken wreck. Before he could die-
cover the cause, the engineer hailed
him from the lower deck and announced
that her shaft was broken.
When it was found that the Albany
was completely disabled, Capt. Wilson
signaled the Rosedale to come and take
off the passengers and carry them to
New York, but she failed to notice the
signals and kept on her way.
The anchor was lowered and the sig-
nals repeated, which were answered by
the Mabel Stevens, and a line was made
fast and the Albany towed to her dock
at South Norwalk. Purser Bette and
the pilot were sent ashore at Eaton, and
notified the Company’s office at South
Norwalk, and the Harlem was at once
telegraphed for and will make the trip
up from New York this afternoon, Cap-
tain Bette and the pilot taking the first
train down to come up with her.
Captain Wilson says that there was
no excitement on board at the time of
the accident, and the passengers acted
splendidly, and the boat was in no dan-
ger at any time. ' -'
The shaft broke in tWo in the centre
on the port side, but did not otherwise
damage the boat.
New York for repairs. ,
A lady passenger was on the boat
whowas on her at the time of the ex‘
plosion some years ago, and remarked
in the hearing of a bystander that this
was her first trip on her since that time.

Practlcal Motormen.-
It is understood that as soon as elec-
tricity is introduced on the Street Rail-
Way, and used, as a motive power, that
the present drivers will be succeeded
by SIX practical motormen. The wires
have all been strung and the cars are
in readiness. The only thing wanting
is the power, and it is believed that that
will be ready in a few days.

remarkably true aim. According to
