The Wheels Parted. -
Charles Wright, of Mott avenue, the
night operator at the central telephone
office at South Norwalk, met with a
serious accident last night. His time
of going on duty is 9 o’clock. About 5
, . .minntesbeforethat hour 'hemight have .
"been seen passing the Methodist church
'ata rapid pace on a bicycle. I In less
. than one minute after he was plough-
ing along the pavement in front of the
Dr. Dexter Hitchcock residence on his
stomach, while the two wheels of his
bicycle were chasing each other across
the avenue. .
I Persons who saw the accident ran to
Wright’s assistance, but he pluckily
got upon his feet without help, and
looked around for his bicycle, which
lay in a helpless condition about 200
yards from where he fell.
It was aftei'ward found that Wright
had suffered severe: confusions on his
hip and shoulder and had received sev-
eral scratches: about his face, lcgs,I
hands and body, to say nothing of sev-
' eral ruptures in _a new $5 pair of trous-
ers.
Mr. Wright is laid up at his home to-
day as a result of his injuries which are
very painful.
The wheel was a complete wreck and
looked as if it had been hit by an L. A.
W. edict. ___—_ _
. A Queer Fish.
The Bennett—Curtis fishing club
were out for game yesterday.
With some dry’and choice bait Charles
_ E. Curtis landed a fish Which razzle
dazzled the entire party. It was about
the size and shape of a silver dollar
would be that contained 100 cents
worth of the metal—a sort of 32 to 1
kind of fish. All the veteran fishermen
were hailed but were unable to diag-
nose the case, and Henry “Doc.” Curtis
wanted to throw it overboard, but the
majority was against him.
The fish was skinned and submitted
to an expert pisciculturist who identified
it, as the file fish, family Balistidae
and order Plectognathi. Its teeth are
very hard and sharp and our local popo.
crats would do well to lay in a supply
to gnaw files far them next November.
0h Their Way Home.
The soldier boys are expected home
. from Camp Graham this afternoon, a‘nd
many a heart is “heating at an extra
“pace” in anticipation of their arrival.
Captain Rose came home last evening,
and brought the glad tidings that none
of them had'eaten too much watermel- ‘
, on or been wounded‘on the field of
‘ . battle.
Sues for Non-Support.

‘ W. E. HINE RETURNS.
Says That His Creditors Need Not Worry, .
.Three of. the Men Shot at Bed!
:and That He Was Only on a Vacation.
Wilbur E. Hine, the Stratford oyster- ,
sheller and fish warden, who disap-
peared early in the week, it was be-
lieved for good, returned yesterday.
Mr. Hine said that he would be re-‘
sponsible for all his debts, and that
the creditors who were reported to be
losing sleepIover his disappearance,
could now rest easily.
He was not disposed to be communi-
cative as ‘to where he had spent his
time since he left town, and asked if a
man in his right mind could not take a
vacation of‘a few-days without stirring
up a whole town. Mr. Hine denied
that he had several thousand dollars
with him, or in fact, an unusually large
amount of money at all. ‘
Fail to Agree.
Unless the Attorneys for Miss Mary
Honnecker and,_also for the‘ City of
Norwalk come to some agreement to-
day, Attorney Lockwood represent-
ing the city, and J. A. Gray, Miss Hon-
necker, both of those gentlemen will be
in Litchfield, next Monday, and Will
appear before Judge Andrews of the
Superior Court in the matter of the ap-I
peal of Miss Honnecker, from the as-
sessment of damages to her property
by reason of the Mill Hill improve-
ments. '
The following gentlemen had, we
understand, been decided upon as a
committee to be presented for the ap-
probatiOn of Judge Andrews, as one
agreeable to all concerned for the re-
adjustment of the matter; Hiram K.
Scott, of Ridgefield, Henry Lee, of
Bridgeport and Attorney Charles S.
Canfield of the same city.
Mr. Gray objects to Mr- Lee as serv-
ing on such committee unless it can be
shown to him that he is not a client _of
a certain leading lawyer in Bridgeport
who may possibly be called upon to as-
sist the attorney for the city in the final
adjudication of the matter.“
At this writing it looks as though
both. Attorneys Lockwood and Gray-
will be at the conntyseat of Litchfield
conhty‘next Monday.
.‘They'will probably leave here on an
early morning train.
. Harry Leopold’s New Soy.
There is a new shaver at Harry Leo-
pold’s tonsorial parlors and he arrived
direct from heaven on the Dr. McGone-
gal express at 11 o’clock last night. He
was Welcomed by his grandmother, Mrs.
Margaret Leopold, of Bloomfield, N.
J ., Mrs. Anna Graham 1 of the same
city and Mrs. Anna Brewster of New--
ark, N. J., and his father. This morn-
ing he was introduced to his three little
sisters, the oldest of whom, wanted to
take him down to Roton Point this af-
ternoon for a ride -on the merry-go-
round. It is Mr. Leopold’s only boy
and he is being showered with congrat-
utions by his many friends. The moth-
er and child are doing nicely.
It. seems almost incredible that such
a vast amount of earth could be re-
moved in five days as has been done in
the Mill Hill cutting down process. It
certainly speaks well for the efficiency
of the home laborers employed.
To-day Superintendent “Seem” Cur-
tis is connecting the Miss Julia Lock-
wood mhnsion with the sewer, which
despite the heavy cut opposite her
premises, “is still six feet below the new
grade. On Monday the car tracks of
the Tramway company are to be trans-
ferred to the north side and their pres-
ent line out down to the new grade.,

Death of Mrs. Swan.
Mrs Antoinette L. Swan, nee Lamb, I
widow of the late William’B. Swan, of
Norwalk, is reported to have died of a
sudden illness, while on a visit with
friends in Pittsfield, Mass. Mrs. Swan
had made her home with her only
daughter at Greens Farms since the
death of her husband. HeIr remains
were brought from there yesterday and
interred beside her husband’s, in Un-
ion cemetery, yesterday. ‘

The identity of the three burglars
who were shot while attempting to
break into the store of Walker B.
Adams & Son, at Bedford Station, early
Thursday morning, and who shot the
elder Mr. Adams, inflicting a wound
from which he died at quarter to one
o’clock yesterday morning, without
having regained consciousness, is being
established. ‘ .
A man visited the Long Island Hos- ‘
pital on Thursday night and asked that:
a severe bullet wound in his arm be at-
tended to. He declared that he had
been shot at Long Branch while hand-
ling a pistol.
His description agreed with that of-_
one ‘of the burglars at Bedford Station,
who escaped after being shot in the
arm. The hospital authorities there-
fore detained him and communicated
with the Brooklyn police, who placed
him under arrest. ‘ .
R. A. Schenck, a blacksmith at Bed-
ford Station, who saw the burglar who
was shot in the arm and escaped, visited
the Long Island Hospital yesterday and
identified the man there as the robber.
Detective Sergeants McCauley and
Vallely, of New York: Police Head.
quarters, accompanied Schenck to the
hospital. They also identified the
prisoner'as Charles Jenkins, alias John
Gilmore. alias Clarke, a bank robber
and burglar, who has served several
terms in prison and whose picture is
No. 1,364 in the Rogues’ Gallery. His
record appears in former Superintend-
ent of Police Byrnes’ book on criminals.
The two other burglars who were
shot in the fight and locked up in the
jail at Mount Kisco, are said to be John
Jenkins, who passed as a brother of
Charles, and°Peter James. They lived
in New York and keptabicycle shop
and salesroom at No. 112 Atlantic ave-
nue, Brooklyn, and had a repair shop
.in _Henry street near Atlantic avenue,
that city.
Father Huntman, of St. ’Francis’
Catholic church, at" Mount Kisco,.heard
the confession of the burglar who was
shot through the lung. The burglar
told the priest his name and address in
New York.
The priest went to New York Thurs-'
day evening, presumably to inform the
man’s relatives.’ At any rate, two. mid-
dle-aged women, dressed in black, ar-
rived in Mount Kisco on the' train from
New York a 9 o’clock yesterday morn-
ing. They were accompanied by De-
tective Sergeants McCauley and Vall-
ely. They visited the jail together.
The women saw both the prisoners
alone. They addressed the man who
was shot through a lung as “Pete.”
They showed some emotion, but after
leaving the jail and before returning, .
drank several glasses of whiskey.
It was said one of the women was a
sister-in-law of one of the burglars.
McCauley and Vallely looked at the
prisoners in the hope of identifying
them, but refused to say if they had
done so. ,
The women, accompanied by the de-
tectives, left on the train at twenty
minutes to two o’clock in the afternoon.
Before the train reached White Plains
the detectives placed them’under arrest
and locked them in the county jail at
White Plains.
This action was brought about. by
Coroner Birch, of that place, who be-
lieves the women can give important
information about the attempted burg-
larly and facts which may show which
burglar shot Mr. Adams.
The women would not tell their
names nor would the detectives disclose
them. When questiongd at. the jail the
women replied, “We are too old to turn
traitor now.” . ‘ I
Acting Superinten dent of . Police
MacKellar, of Brooklyn, said last night
that the prisoner’s name was Charles
Jenkins. He said the burglar who was
shot throught the lung 'by William
Adams was Peter James, and the burg-
lar who was shot through the stomach
was John J enkins. Their bicycle busi-
ness was conducted under the . firm
name of Peter James «it Go. Charles
Jenkins was known in he neighbor-
hood as themoneyed man of the firm.
Sheriff Johnson,‘of WhiteE‘PlIains has
idenitifl'ed the burglar w Io was shot
through the stomach as Di' 1; Burns. a
noted criminal, whose picture is in the
Rogues’ Gallery in N. Y. city. ind-who
served a term in prison for killing ‘79,

The other burglar was slightly better.
