To-Day’s Yacht Race.
To-day, market quotations, the excise
tangle and the differences between the
Pl .tt and anti-Platt men will be mat-
mzrs of secondary importance _in the
metropolis, and all eyes will be centered
upon the water course ofi' Sandy Hook,
\Where Defender, the new cup defender,
and Vigilant, the vrnquisher of Val-
kyrie in 1803, will demonstrate their
relative qualities as ocean fiyers.
While the real contest between these
boats does not occur until the middle of
Aug 1st, the race between them to: day
will undoubtedly enable the public to
form some estimate as to which is like-
ly to be selected to battle for honors
with Lord Dunmvcn’s new fleet hound
of the sea, Valkyrie III, Added inter-
est attaches to this race from the fact
that the Defender, unlike the Vigilant,
is a keel yacht, not a centerboardel,
such as hitherto kept America’s cup the
property of Uncle .Sam. With right
winds and good steamship, therefore,
the spectacle 05 Sandy Hook should be
one of keen and wholesome excitement.
There is little partisanship over the
struggle between Defender and Vigi-
lanl. The American people want Eng-
land to send over the swiftest sloop
that John Bull can whittlc out, and
they want'i the best American sloop to
be pitted against her: Here, therefore,
is'~ to f'llvofli‘fg winds and weather, and
may the best boat show clean heels to
her rlval, be she the Defender or Vigi‘
lant. E I
MrSIRlestel-er’s Story.
Yesterday the GAZETTE published the
story of Mrs. Joseph Biesterer having
deserted her husband, and also gave
Mr. Biesterer’s statement. TO-day We
give Mrs Biesterer’s story as told, by a
friend.
It appears from the story related that
the latest trouble which caused Mrs.
Riesterer to depart. was over the board—
er Ebert. Mrs. Biesterer was anxious
that he should leave and Mr. Biesterer
was as anxious that he should remain.
On Tuesday the question of' Ebert’s
leaving came up again and in the heat
of discussion Riest erer is said to hive
told Mrs. RE estcre1 that she, herself,
could get out and then left the house
without his dinner.
As soon as he had gone Mrs. Biest-
erer visited the house of a neighbor
and asked if she could store some of
her furniture. Permission being given
she had her personal effects and what
furniture she owned removed. She
then took the train for New York,
where she is now endeavoring to find a
situation. The neighbor to whom she
told her story tried to persuade her not
to take the intended step, but she re-
plied that “Joe” had tofd her to go
and she was going to fat. skin at his .
word.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Riesterer are
highly spoken of by their neighbors
and it is hoped by all that when she
returns from New York, which she ex-
pects to do ina week, everything will
be reconciled and the estrangement
-healed.
A Denial. .
To the Martin 9mm,
, SIR:—-In reply to flu letter of B. 8.
Keith in lo-day’s issue of the Norwalk
Hour, in reference to the assessment of
the property of John Henry, as _lhe
same appears in the City Assessment
Book,--I wish to say, that the memo-
randum referred to on the margin of
Mr Henry’s list, was made by some
member of the Board of Belief, before
handing me the books ; that I have no
right as City Clerk, or otherwise, to
change the books after they are turned
over to me; that I have not changed
them in any particular, and that the
statement made by Mr. Keith concern—
ing me in the matter is unqualifiedly
false and. untrue. E. M. Looxwoon.
Norwalk, July 20th, 1895.
A Wordy War.
There we is quite a lively war of words
at the propeller wharf between express
men Lincoln and Ferries, this morning,
as to which had the right to cart two or
three loads of furniture to Silver Mine.
At last the owner of the furniture put
in an appearance and decided in favor
of Lincoln. . It seems that the man
made a contract with Lincoln 11. week
ago'to cart it, but as he did not put in
an early appearance he at the request
of Ferris told him he might cart it. In
the meantime Lincoln putin an appear-
ance and finally secured the carting of
tho goOds.

FIR-ED IWO SHOTS.“
A Horse Thief Makes an Unsuccess-
iul Attempt to SteaLB. Bur-
ohard’s Horse and Wagon.
The Horse of the Raymond Grocery
Company Gone this
Morning.
Last night between 10 and 11 O ’clock
as William Foster, who is employed by
Mr. B. Burchard of Wilson Point, and
a fellow workman were returning to
the farm and just as they were about to
enter the gate leading to Wilson Point,
they met a man driving out with Mr.
Bur chard’s horse and wagon. As they
failed to recognize him they called to him
to stop. Instead of obeying the stranger
jumped from the wagon and ran up the
hill toward the ice houses firing two
shots from a revolver at Foster as he
run.
The horse and wagon was returned
to the barn and Mr. Burchard notified
and a further search made but without
finding other trace of the man.
Early this morning the police were
notified of the attempt t) steal the
turnout. They were also notified
shortly after that the horse of the Ray-
mond Grocery Company at Elm Grove
andabuggy, the property of Carlisle
T. Weeks, had been stolen some time
during the night.
Telephone messages were soon sent
to Bridgeport, Brewster's and all near-
by towns requesting that a lookout be
kept for the turnout and thief.
As the rascal who had stolen Mr.
Burchard’s horse ran up the road lead-
ing to Elm Grove it is suspected that
he is the party who took the Raymond
hOI so.
The buggy of Mr. Weeks is described
as a Phoenix top buggy with high bot-
tom, while ihc Raymond horse isa
chunky light bay with black points,
about 15 hands high, heavy mane, short
foretop, legs trimmed, white hair on
back under sadd.e, and will probably
weigh 1,000 pounds. He is about six or
seven years old and has been newly
shod.
During Chief Vollmcr’sIabsence De-
tective Gladstone has the case in hand
and will no doubt discover the thief
before many Idays.
Postmaster Monroe Pun Over.
Lucius M. Monloe, postmaster at
New Canaan, met w1t~h an accident in
New York, Thursday evening, that ne-
cessitated his being taken to a hospital
in that city where he now lies. He
hadjust alighted from a car onl Madison
aveLue, and was about to cross to he
sidewalk, when he was knocked down
by a horse and wagon and run down.
The driver of the horse jumped from
the wagon and ran away, but was soon
after captured and taken to the police
station. Monroe was taken to the
Presbyterian hospital in an ambulance,
where it was found that ho had sus-
tained a. fracture to his right arm, be-
sides sustaining severe bruises about
his boiy His family physician, Dr.
Bronson, went to New York, and in
consultation Wlth the hospital surgeon,
is of the opinion that Mr Monroe will
do able to be transferred to his home in
New Canaan next Tuesday.

Charms Snakes and Men.
“Dot” Sonwell, the well known
snake charmer, is again in trouble and
locked tip in the West Thirticth street
station house in New York city.
B. J. Malone, of Fayville, Mass,
charges her with having stolen $250 of
his hard cash. I
Mr. Malone went to New York a
week ago with a certified check for
$32,000, which was to prove that he
meant business when he made a bid to
build the new Jerome Park reservoir.
On Friday, July 12, Mr. Malone ap-
peared at the West Thirty-seventh
street police station. He said he had
been stopping at No. 329 West Thirty-
fifth street. There he said somebody
had taken two $15100 bills and one $50
bill from his vest pocket. The police
came to the conclusion that the some-
body who took the moncy was “Dot”
Sonwell.
Ever since the police have been look-
ing for “Dot.” Last night they traced
her to No. 474 Seventh avenue, where
she was captured by an officer and
locked up.

Johnson’s Cyclopedia as Seen By a,
Leading Educator;
I have ex amined the topics in my dc
partment 1n the first six volumes of
Johnson’s Cyclopedia, and find them
ably written by. competent men. I
know also personally or through their
books many of the scholars. who have
written the articles in other depart-
ments. Their names are a sufficient
guarantee of the excellence of their
work. Their articles are accurate,
concise and adequate, and sufficient for
the reqirements of all who are not com-
pelled to have two or three cyclopedias.
For the general reader, for boys and
girls, for the business man, and for the
great majority of scholars, Johnson’s
Cyclopedia is, in my opinion, incom-
parably the most useful of all cyclo-
pedias. E. H. WILSON.

Winnipauk Burglaries.
'Frank Rooney of Winnipauk, has es-
tablished a reputation as a burglar
catcher, the lustre of which is only
dimmed by the fact that he let his
prisoner go after he had compelled him
to give up the stolen articles he had in
his possession.
The burglar who was recognized as
Dennis Sullivan, is credited with hav-
ing, during the past week, entered
several houses in Winnipauk, among
others being that of Mr. Frank
Rooney where he stole a quantity of
wearing apparel. He also it is alleged,
visited the house of William Maudlin
where he stole $5 in cash and an over-
coat. Attempts llive also been made
to burglarize other places in the neigh-
borhood and it is believed that Sullivan
is the guilty party.
Sullivan has establisheda bad repu-
tation both in and out of the state as a
confidence Ope1ator. ’
A warrant has _ber 11 sworn out for his
arrest but he will probably skip out
before it is served upon him.
Fire at South Norwalk.
Mr. and Mls.F1ank Kiss, who reside
on the Ely Neck road, were awakened
about midnight last night by the cry of
fire. When they arose they found the
room full of smoke and the house in
flames. . They grabbed what clothing
they could find and rushing down stairs
succeeded in saving a few pieces of
furniture before the building was en-
tirely consumed.
The house was owned by Mr. Benja-
min Eldred, of Port Jefferson, N. J.
and was insured with Jacob M. Layton
for $250. Mr. Kiss’ loss will amount to
between $600 and $700 upon which they
also have an insurance with Mr. Layton
of $500.
The fin) is a mystery and both Mr.
and Mrs. Kiss are of the Opinion that
the house was set on fire.

Was the Third Ballot In the Collins Case
Hastened by a Constable?
TRENTON, July 20. —John S. Collins, the
colored man convicted of murder in the
second degree, in having shot Princeton
Student Ohl, will be sentenced Wednesday.
It was learned today that the first bale
lot taken by the jury stood seven for mu;-
der in the first degree and five for man-
slaughter. The second ballot stood eight
’ for the first degree and four for man-
slaughter, and the third ballot Wu
compromise for murder in the seconded:-
grce.
The jury was notified by one of the Con.
stables that the judge Would only it
until 11 o’clock for a verdict. Thiawt
defense claims, may have hastened t e
verdict against Collins. Should the se-
tence of Collins be too severe in the eyes
of the defense, then application for a new
trial will be made on a Writ of error.
A second indictment for atrocious as-
sault and battery upon young Cochran
hangs over Collins. It depends upon h'e
severity of the sentence as to whether c.~
tion will be taken in this case.
