A Mistake.

There was uolco'nceiVable reason why
the investigation into the charges made
by Dunraveu against the Defender
should have been held in secret. Dun-
i'aven came here with his attorney and
several wittnesscs prepared, as he as-
serts, to substantiate his charges. The
charges wer e. made as public as possible
having been. printed in pamphlet form
and repTinted in the newspapers. Dun-
raven himself had no objection to a
public hearing, It Is not probable that
the New York Yacht Club had any dis.
position to shield anybody in case the
charges should be upheld, and it could
have no good reason for fearing the
consideration of the evidence by the
public.

The esse11lial facts about the investi-
gation are bound to be made public in
the end. If the Dunraven charges

hcul T be sustained he will take care
that the evidence is brought to public
nolice. If they are disproved the other
side will certainly allow the testimony
to reach the press. If the verdict of the
committee is not satisfactory to either
party it will be impossible to conceal
the ground of complaint. So, since a
certain measure of publicity is inevita-
ble, there was no good reason why the
committee itself should not provide for
public hearings. A decision against
Dunravou after a star-chamber proceed—
ing would surely cause the Britishpress
to denounce the whole inquiry.

The investigation should have been

evidence that there is a big laud job at

pleasant feature of the affair is that Mr.

A decided novelty in entertainment is
to be given next Saturday evening. It
is the presentation of “The Russian

worthy and distinguished congressman.
But “sich is lame.” Despite this per.

follows: “The Vassar Sl udents’ Aid

The commissioner pleased by the let-

batch of documents, illustrating not
only electricity, but all the lines of sci-

might interest a boy. The commission-
er also wrote him the following letter
and he will be happy when he gets 'it:

“Dear little sir; I have your esteemed
letter of December 14,1895, stating that
you are twelve y ears of age and express-

ProWling Around Recidences
on the Westportrfload.

Trying to Sell Silver Spoons He says He
Stole.

For some dayspast the attention of
people living in the vicinity ‘of Peat
Swamp has been attracted to the
strange actions of a man who wanders
about the fields in that vicinity and co-
casionally calls at houses and begs for
edibles. ‘

He is described as being a smooth

faced young man cleanly dressed and

wearing an ulster coat and derby hat-
Where he remainsnights is a. question
that has not been solved as no evidence
of his having slept in barns in that vic-
inity is forthcoming.’

Last Friday morning, as early. as 5
o’clock, Mrs. Eliza Raymond who lives
alone on the Woll’pit hill road was
awakened by a knocking at the kitchen
door. On going to the-door she found
a man answering the aboveldescription
who asked for something to eat. Being
alone and somewhat frightened she gave
him some food. After eating it he
reached down in‘ the pocket of his ulster
and took out half a demo silver Spoons
done up in a napkin and offered to sell
them at a low figure. Mrs. Raymond
not being in need of spoons, told him
she did not care to purchase and the
fellow went-away, but was seen during
the day prowling about the lots in the
vicinity of the house. 1

Holy Saturday morning James H.
Beers who lives just off of the Westport
road, lild his attention attracted by the
barking Vofdlis dog, and concluded that
some stranger was paying a visit to his
hen-coop. He hastily got out of bed
and dressedhimself and just as he had
finished and was putting on his hat
there was a knock at the door. On
opening it Mr. Beexs was confronted
by a man wearing a heavy ulster. He
asked for a cup of c! lice, and after-
wards offered the spoons for sale as he
had done at Mrs. Raymonds. Failing
to make a sale the fellow left. Mr.
Beers then went to his barn but found
no evidence of its liavinI.1 been visited
during the night.

A lad informed Mr. Beers that he had
met and talked Willi the fellow, who
had told him he had done time in jail,
for a robbery committed two years ago
at a store on the Washington. street
bridge, South Nor Walk. He 'had also
showed him the spoons.

To say the least the actions of the
fellow are very strange and he has suc-
ceeded in creating quite a scare to res-
idents on the line of the Westport road.

It is hoped that he will apprehended
and made to explain his unseemly do-
lugs.

Sowing the Wind. ‘

“Sowing the Wind,” the best prwe
have had from the pen of that most
interest-ing of English playrighls, Mr.
Sydney Guundy, is a drama that has
perhaps been a source of more discus
sion than any dramatic production seen
in New York in years. It is in four
acts and has for its maintheme the
social inequality of the sexes, namely

the unlimited field for man’s moral di-,

version, and the small world in which

women mustlive, to keep in the good

graces of society. This play will be

presented with a strong cast at Hoyt’s

Theatre Monday evening January 6th.

' South Before the War.

Ag eneratiOn has passed since the
gobd old antebellum days were with us
and with the decades now buried for-
ever in the dim past has disappeared
the old plantation darkey, at least that
interesting ebony individual has gone
from actual life and lives now only in
his counterfeit presentment upon the
ever productive stage. Those of us
who knew the “Souf befo de wall,” as
the children of Ham put it, and knew
what plantation life really was before
our great internecine» struggle; and
such of us as can recall the happy days
and pleasant nights spent by the dark-
eys in the cotton field and cane-breaks,
will have an opportunity of seeing and
living over again these happy times at
Hoyt’s Theatre on Friday evening, by
witnessing the inimitable performance
given by Whallen & Martell’s big
“South Before the War” company.

A TERRlBLE DEATH

Brakeman James Toolau Killed
in’The Railroad Tunnel.

His Body Horribly Mangled:

 

A fatal accident occurred in the rail-‘
road tunnel of the Danbury and Nor-
walk branch of the Consolidated road
in this city, Saturday night, and the
victimwas James Toolan, head brake-
man on the Pittsfield express freight,
due here at 11: -08 o ’.clock

Just how lhe accident occurred will
probably never. be known, but it is be-
lieved- that while riding on the top of a.
car he was struck by the covering at
the upper end of the tunnel. as his cap
was afterward found at that point. ‘

Toolan was first missed when the triiin

reached the frelght yard, where it was
his custom to leave the tram and at
tend a switch. . Calls for him were
sounded on the locomotive whistle and
receiving no response the engineer slow.-
ly backcd'the train up to the station, a
close watch being kept for the missing
brakeman. -

A short distance from the entrance to
the tunnel and in the same, the man-
gled remains of the missing man were
found lying near the tricks. The re-
mains were gathered up, placed in a
car and taken to South Norwalk, and
later transferred to Uundcrtaker D. W.
Raymond’s morgue. .

Deputy Coroner Burke was sum-
moned undfound that both of the legs
of the peer fellow had been cut off, his
body terribly mangled, his head nearly
decapitated, and both arms badly cut.

The remains were prepared for burial
by Mr. Raymond, and this morning
were taken to his former home in West
Stockbridge, Mass. '

Toolan for along time had been en-
gaged as a brakeman, but had been on
the run between. Pltlsfield a'nd Norwalk
but about six weeks.

’He leaves a wife and three children.

, Wait for tne Big Show.

A manager who expends thousands of
dollars in order that nothing may be
neglected'that might add to the enjoy-
ment of his patrons, certainly deserves
success, and, as a rule, the generally gets
it, if the public would endeavor to dis-
criminate between responsible com-
panies and those who possess no stiab l-
ity.

There are plenty of good shows, but,
unfortunately, there ‘ are hundreds
which are utterly devoid of merit.
Now, any one can tell at a glance, it

 

 

 

they soon magnificent new store with ,

massive plate glass windows, that it
necessarily calls for a great oullay of
'money to erect-it, and the stock in
such a store is generally of the finest.
The same line of reasoning to theatri-
cal enterprises ; for lustance, when you
see a show billed in the lavish and ex-
pensive manner that characterizes “A
MidnightFrollic” company you can

rest assured that there is tummy and I

push back of it. The beautiful, artistic
pictorial lithographic work, Is the finest
and the costliest en'the road. No lith-
ographic firm would attempt that kind
of work without having ten thousand
dollars down to insure them from loss.

This is only one ofthe many items of a

great show, and the same good taste
which provides this beautiful printing
will neglect no other department of the
show. So there is no doubt that the
production of “A Midnight Frolic”.is '
the biggest show of the season

Among the applicants for a license to
sell liquor was Mrs. Margaretharncs of
Franklin avenue. Mrs. Barnes is a
danghter offiJohu Tuhey who runs the
grocery store on-lhat street known as
the “drug,‘store.”

On Thursday last Commissioners

 

Miller. and Lee came to Norwalk and
personally visited and inspected the
Tuhev place. After finishing the in-

_spection of’the premises they quietly

made inquiries relative to the reputatiOu
of the place and received sufficient in-‘
formation from property owners and
others in that neighborhood to show
them that it was not proper to grant a
license for this place.

The commissioners returned
Bridgeport'to discuss the question, and
this morning Commissioner Miller no-
tified lhe GAZETTE that they had re-
fused to grant a license to Mrs, Barnes

It is thought by many that liquor will
be sold at this place In violation of the
law, but Prosecutor E. M. Lockwood
will keep a sharp watch on the place
and if the law 18 violated an interesting
time will be given the violators.

made her name a household word of
renewed health and happiness. She

died as she had lived,~ a true christian,

Fine Christmas Music.

The cantata ‘V‘The Holy Child,” was
rendered last night by the choir of the
Norwalk Methodist church.

The entire service was thoroughly
enjoyed by the congregation that tested
the seating capacity of lheichurch t) its
utmost; Imany not being able to secure
seals. '

A service of this character for festival
occasions is most fitting and reflects
great credit upon the choir of the
church for the intelligent and conscien-
tious rendition. The cantil'a will
probably be repeated some evening
this week.

As last Saturday was not the fifth
