George Wendling who for a number of years was employed in .DeKlyn’s. bakery, and‘later wentinto business for himself in this city, and who about two years ago removed to Bridgeport, was the victim of a‘ most cowardly as- sault in that city early last Wednesday merning. ‘ The story of the assault as told. by the Bridgeport Post, is as follows: "A peculiar assault was committed early this morning by a man who evi- dently must have been reading about White Caps. Adolph Werner met George Wendling on Besevoir avenue and gave him a terrible beating. 'Wendling was just about able to get back to his home and tell what had happened. His face was all covered with blood and one rib was broken on the right side. J'It seems that the men have been on bad terms for a long time. What was the original cause'of the trouble does not appear, butone thing seems to have. led to another with a constantly growing bitterness on both sides. “Wendling went out to go to work as usual. He had gone but a short dis- man coming towards him , with a white bag over his liead‘. Twp holes were cut in the bagfor'the eyes and another for his mouth. “The man carried a big club in his hand. He came up to Wendling and before the latter realized what was up, the attack was made. It was so violent that Wendling could not withstand it and soon’fell to the ground. His as- sailant then commenced to kick him and it was then that Wendling discov- ered that Werner was a White Cap.” Werner was placed under arrest and will be given a hearingtflrdal .

Washington’s Farewell Address. It is a hundred years ago to-da y that Washington made to the American peo- ple that farewell address so animated by ‘lofty potriotism and far-seeing statesmanship. The sons and daughters of the Revo- lution in various sections of the country' are to make suitable observance to- night, of this’anniversary. Well may it be carefully read "and its solemn warnings of national dangers earnestly heeded.

NDTSAFEEERGLARS. But the South Norwalk Police ' Were on the Alert. I Oflicer Ireland Ready for Action. The South Nor-walk policeare always on the alert and are seldom caught nap- ping. This morning, however, they had a' scare "and also woke up about of the Mahackemo. ' . While the storm which struck Nor- walk shortly before 3.0’clock, was just beginning to break, Officer I relahd was passing Podmore’s store in the hollow. As a flash of lightning lighted up the inky darkness of the streets, the officer glanced in one of the store windows. As he did so his hair stood on end, , for there on the floor in front of the safe containing Mr. Podmore’s wealth, was a man. He was lying down flat on the board floor as though to escape obser- vation. The officer waited for another flash of lightning to be sure, and when it came he plainly saw the man and saw him reaching up to turn the combination of the safe. , -. Not desiring to attack safe burglars alone and Without his trusty revolver, theoflicer sped for Washington street. _As he neared the railroad bridge he blew a shrill blast upon his whistle which brought Oflicers Pennington ands Reardon quickly to the scene, their feet in the'stillness of the morning re- sounding on the pavements like Captain Gladstone on roller skates. Breathlessly relating his discovery to his brother officers, Sam cautioned them to remain quiet while Officer Reardon ran to headquarters after his pistol. The noise made by the officers in an- swering the distress call was as nothing compared to Reardon’s sprint to police headquarters. As he came down South Main street, his feet striking the pave- ment with a sound similar to two boards hlshead out of his oflice Window" and inquired, “Where’s the fire?” The officer did not have time to answer, but kept up his heart-breaking sprint, mak- ing the windows of the City Hotel rat- tle as though undergoing an earth! quake. When he turned the corner of Haviland street, a. GAZETTE reporter greeted him with“What’s the trouble?” but the ofiicer disappeared into head- quarters without‘replying. . Within a minute he was out of the building, a revolver in‘one hand and a base ball bat in the other as he joined the two waiting officers. Pennington being in charge, he planned the attack. Reardon was sent around to the rearhnd Ireland was de- tailed to attack the front door while “Billy” sat on the bill-board next door, “bossing things.” Sam walked boldly up to the front door and turned the knob. He had no front of the safe sprang to its feet and uttered a deep grow], and when the next flash of lightning lit up the sky Sam and a large Newfoundland dog were standing looking at each other through the glass door., The police retired, but it is unsafe to- day for any one to whisper dog in the . hearing of “South Norwalk’s watchful ofiicers. O ANOTHER HOLD UP. The Station Agent at‘South Wilton. the Latest Victim. ' Joseph Donnelly is the station-agent at South Wilton on the Danbury branch of the Consolidated railroad. - He is in the habit of taking the money from the station to his home on closing up for the day. . Thursday evening, he followed out his usual custom, but on reaching home found that he had left 813 of his own money at the station, and returned for it. ' Ashe came out of the door of the depot he was met by two men who de- manded his money. V . Two revolvers were pointed at him and he handed over the money he,,had with him and was then allowed to go on his way. He has a pretty, good description of the highwaymen, who it is thought were tramps. ' - - - W An Aged, Bank President Dead. Enoch Pratt, Baltimore’s multimil- lionaire, died' Thursdaynight.

Elle L. A. W.Rules Clear on the Cuestion I} at issue. 1 ‘1 . The News last evening contained an opinion relative to the consequences likely ’to result through Frank Smith’s riding inthe recent race of. the Twin City‘Wheelmen, after having become a professional. The article quotes “emi- nén’t L. A. W. authority” who is made to tidy, that "the L. A'. W. law distinct- ly means-that anyone who knowingly competes with a ’professional may be putiu the professional class.” Where the authority to incorporate the ”word "knowingly” is found, is not quite. understOOd, and appears more lik': 1a lawyer’s quibble, as the law is plaEn and-reads as’follows: _ “,Clause (b) You sacrifice your Ama- teur status, if you ride in a race in which there are professional competi- tor's.” - Now as regards Smith’s‘conduct. The writer of the News‘ article claims that Smith did not know he was a profes- sional. Such a statement in view of the facts is misleading. 'The .vtrnth of the matter is, that Smith" was notified long before the race that unless he replied to certain questions on or before a spec- ifieddate he would be declared a pro- fessional at the expiration of the time set. He knew he paid no attention to Mrf. Gideon’s notice and must have known that having failed to respond on or before the date specified he had been placed in the professional ranks. His not having received the official notice of his transfer to the pro'fessional ranks until evening, is open to question, more especially as he denied to a GAZETTE reporter at 8 o’clock the night of the race that he had received such a notice. Itgis sincerely hoped that none of the rideiis‘ willsuffer through the reprehen- sible‘nction of smith, but 11 is a quesé' tion‘tlii’pticnn only be settled by the of- ficidlshnd-not by “eminent authority." 1111;139:111... given in the News’ article relatjvagto 'the publication of Smith’s doings- leads to the belief that the writer is more fearful, of-the result to his club, -‘ ”which int-in .no""way: responsible for his actions, than: he .is "of'having the true facts given.

A complaint was made to President Henry Ghermann of the Naromake Gun club last‘ evening, by a well‘ known resident of 'Cranbury, who stated that quail were being shot, contrary to the game laws, in the vicinity of the Bates quarry.

It was"‘Jake" Bouton who first discov- ered the law-breakers and Fred Bouton who gained a description of the canines and a fairly good one of the gunners.
