. City Candidates.

lively discussion is going on as to
the personal of our city government
It is conceded on all sides that Mayoi
Iiul bell, will be as he deserves to be"
uninimous choice of his party for the
Mayor. Opposed to him, ex- Mayor
Keeler, Councilmen Wheeler, Osborn
and Chinery are prominently named.
The old board of Councilmen should be
renominated, except where a vacancy
requires'the selection of a new man.
They are all eminently deserving the
honor and the city or republican pirty
can gain nothing by a change. A busi-
ness man When he has a thoroughly
good and experienced employee, does
not chau Ye him without cause, and cm

city snould have the benefit of the same
wisdom.

and obeyed with the most cheerful
alacrity. It’ is rather tough on the
“boodlerflj and on the “worker,”
whose enthusiasm is a mere matter of
dollars and cents. The GAZETTE will
take great pleasure in publishing the
modest sums that our local candidates
may be forced to disburse.

What Next.

We desire to inform the public that
the Westporter-Herald is the one and
only Westport newspaper, the asser-
tions of certain outside parties to the
contrary notwithstanding, and we have
never claimed our journal to be a Nor-
walk or Bridgeport paper (because we
hada correspondent in those places,)
for the purpose of securing advertise-
ments or anything else.

The above appeared in these columns
last-week, and was quoted in the Even-
ing Hour, and commented on by the
following: “The Hour is just as much
a Westport paper as the Westporter-
claims to be. * * The circulation of
the Hour in Westport, is larger than
that of any other paper and its news is
more accurate, refreshing and crisp.
Furthermore, its editors, are larger
taxpayers in Westport, than the editors

- of any other paper ‘havingacirculation

there and until quite recently they have
resided and voted in the town.”

In the words of the Hour, the above
lacks “that charming element of truth,”
when it says its circulation is larger
than that of any other paper in West-
port. As regards its news being more
accurate, we leave that with its few
readers in Westport to decide. Re-
garding its editors being largo tax-pay.-
ers in Westport, we would say that the
assessors of this town Would like to
know where the name of Maples appears
upon the tax-list, and the tax collectors
for the past five'years are desirous to
know to whom those large taxes have
been paid.~—Westporter. '

 

i visions EMPLOYEE

He'Robs David Jenks the Milkman.
of Nearly $450.

NO Clue Obtalned of the Robb er

 

A bold robbery took place at the resi-
dence of John F. Knapp at Belden Hill,-
near Wilton early Saturday evening in
which the thief secdred nearly $420 in
cold cash, checks and money orders,
belOnging to David Jenks, the milk-
man.

Mr. Jenks lives at the Knapp resi-
dance. and until such time as is conven-
ient to place it in the bank, keeps his
receipts for the day in a tin box in a
bureau diawer in his room. Satur-
day night he went away and did not re-
turn until morning. On going to- his
room he found the bureau drawer open
and'the box and its contents missing.

Thinking that Mrs. Knapp had taken
it out and placed it somewhere else for
safe-keeping, he was not alarmed, but
on questioning her he found that she
too had found the drawer open and be-
came suspicious that. some one had
stolen the box. Her suspicions gained
almost a certainty when she learned
that. a young man named Joseph Um-
baster had failed to do his usual work
about the place Saturday evening and
that he was also missing.

Mr. Jenks immediately started in
search of Umbaster, .and notified the
officers in this and other cities to be on
the lookout f)!’ him. So far, the fol
low has not been captured, neither has
any trace of him been secured.

Umbaster slept in a room adjoining
that of Mr. Jenks and knew where the
money was kept but never before dur-
ing his two years stay on the place has
he been suspected of being dishonest.

It is understood that Uiubaster came
from Chicago. He is described as be-
ing about 10 years of age, 5 feet 3
inches tall, black hair, large flit nose
and small blue eyes.

Besides silver and bills the box con-I.

tained a check for $45 issued to Hiram
Jellifi'e, which had been cashed by Mr.
Jenks, a money order from John H.

Wilson for $25 and one or two other .

checks for smaller amounts aggregating
in all a trifle less than $450. Mr Icnks
has ofiered a re ward of $100 for the
capture of the thief.

POUND__ DROWNED

The Body of William *Greehe Float-
ing In the Water.

Walked Off the Dock'ln the Dark.

About 4 o’clock this morning James.
O’Brien, the . Consolidated railroad
bridge tender at South Norwalk heard
some one coughing in the lumber yard
of Hatch, Bailey & 00. just south of the
bridge. '

He paid no particular attention to
the noise but thought it strange that
any one should be about the yard at
that time in the morning. '

After the 4:20 train passed Over the
draw O’Brien’s attention was attracted
by the sound of some one strangling in
the water. He hastily ran down to the
wharf and in the darkness discovered a
man overboard. He picked up a plank
and pushed it towards the drowning
mambut the latter paid no attention to
it, being too far gone to catch hold of
the same. -

O’Brien at once notified ofiicer Pen-
nington of the drowning, and the latter
sent for Dr. Burke.

The medical examiner had the body
towed to the float at the Washington
street bridge from where it was removed
to undertaker David W. Raymond’s
morgue. ‘

ilere the body was identified as that
of William Greene. an employee of
Contractor Brown, who had been work-
ing on the improvements. He came to
South NOrwalk from Croton Dam, on
August 1st., and boarded at No. 1 Ann
street. '

At his boarding house, it was learn-
ed that Greehe had eaten his supper at
5.30 o’clock, Saturday evening, but
since that time he had not been seen.
It was also learned that he had been
drinking. but was not intoxicated.

It is thought that Greene got on a

spree Saturday night and kept it up
yesterday, and wandered into the lum-
ber yard, yesterday morning and
walked off the dock in the darkness.

The deceased was about 50 years of
age and hasthree sons in New York,
his wife being dead.

- The-Car Slipped.

A Tramway car was going over the
brow of Mill Hill, yesterday noon,
awhen the car began to slip and back
down the hill. Motorman Sweet ap:
plied the brake but could not stop the
car which came down the hill at a rapid
rate and did not stop until a grade was
reached. It is alleged that Conductor
Martin threw off the trolley wheel,
”thus handicapping the motorman in the
use of the brake. The slipping was
caused by the wet leaves which covered
the tracks. 'No one Was hurt', but the
passengers were considerably fright-
ened. ‘

 

 

 

Last Ring Down.

The straw-hat bell was sounded for
the dropping out of the summer straw
hat on the first instant. Owing to the
unusual heat, their use was tolerated‘up
to Sept 15th, when the second bell was
rung. So intense was the mid-Septem
ber heat however, that their use was ex-
tended for fifteen days more, but the
last bell- calling in all such head-gear
is to be rung to-day and no one but a
very rich man can hereafter afflrd to
appear in the streets wearing a sham
hat.

Treated for‘Hls Injuries by Dr. W.
J. Tracy.

 

Thomas Mason an employee at the
shoe Manufactory of Lounsbury, Mat-
thewson & Co. is confined to his bed at
his home on Harbo‘r avenue, suffering
from injuries received while attempting
to board .a Street Railway car at South
Nor_walk,lSaturday afternoon.

The story of the accident as told by
Mr. Mason, is in a substance as follows:

“It occurred soon after I had got
through my work, and I should say be-
tween 5:30 and 6 O’clock. I had made
some purchases at a store on North
Main Street and had them in my hand
as the car Came along, and which
I signalled ' to stop. Two other
men got on the car in front of me, and
just as I grasped the guard-rail and
stepped one foot on the running-board,
the conductor signalled the motorman
to go ahead, and I was thrown against
the car, my left s‘de striking it with
considerable force. It felt painful and
I talked pretty plainly to the conductor
about his carelessness. I did not at the
time or until the next day think the
wound one of a serious nature. But it
grew rapidly worse and more painful,
andI summoned Dr. Tracy who pre-
scribed for it and said that I would
probably be laid up for a week, some-
thing I cannot afl‘ord with the huge
family I have.”

He showed a (lazs'rrn representative
8. black and blue spot near his left hip
nearly as large as sauce plate, and
stated that it was very painful.

Superintendent Kylc of the Street
Railway will thoroughly investigate
the matter.

Mr. Mason has a large family of
small children dependent upon him for
support. One of the children ll‘ls but
just recovered from a severe week’s il'-
ness, and he has another child which
only the great-est care and Watching
will save from death. The little one is
three years-Old and is eufieriug from a
cut on her foot by which she nearly
bled to death.

The ‘Robbers Secure $40 In Cash.

 

The store of Mather 85 Grumman at
Darien was visited by burgllirs at 2: 30
o clock Sunday morning and the safe
blown to pieces and forty dollars in
money abstracted.
At about half past two o’clock Sun-
day morning. a boarder named Riley,
was retiring at the Columbus Hotel,
when he wasstartled by two explosions.
Looking out of the window he failed to
see or hear anything further and‘closed
the blinds to his rooms. '

The same sound roused the night
watchman at: the depot and he came

thin man With a soft‘slouch hat pulled
down over his face, running from the
store of Mather 8r. Grumman.

. An investigation showed that. the
store had been entered by forcing open
a back door With tools taken from the
blacksmith shop of Alonzo Weed.

Once inside a. hole Was drilied in the
safe With the same sized drill as was
used on the Rowayton post office safe a
short time ago. When exploded the
charge tore the safe to pieces and the
robbers found $40, which they carried
away.

As the description of the. man seen
Sunday morning answers that given of
the Rowa'y ton burglar and the drill used
at that time is the same size and make
as that used at Mather 8r. Grumman’s it
is believed that both robberies were
committed by the same party and that
he does not liVe far from Darlen.-
