The Lives of Five Persons Im-
perilled Sunday on West
Avenue.
Horses Frightened by an Electric Car.
West avenue was the scene about
noon yesterday of one of the most ex-
citing runaways that ever happened in
N orwalk, and that it did not result in
the loss .of one or more lives seems lit-
tle short of a miracle.
Afew days since Contractor Albert
R. Malkin exchanged his trotter for a
pair of fine horses owned by the pro-
prietor of the Warner House at Canaan.
Yesterday he hitched the animals to
a twb-seated extension-top carriage and
. drove to Westport. Besides himself in
thelvehicle when the start from this
city was made, were his wife and four
year old boy, and Sally Hyatt, young-
est daughter of the late James W.
Reaching Westport, Miss Emily A1-
len, an aged relative of the family
jbined the party and drove back to
Norwalk with him.
As Mr. Malkiii was driving to his
home and when on' West avenue near
St. Mary‘s church the horses became
frightened at a passing Street Railway
car and shied to one side. One of the
whiifletrees broke and let one of the
horses loose from the carriage. Mr.
Malkin attempted to rein up the horse
but one of the lines broke near the .bit,
the pole dropped and over went the
vehicle with its load of humanity. -
The occupants of the carriage were
all thrown sprawling in the street.
Parties who witnessed the accident ran
to their assistance. It was found that
Miss Hyatt had sustained an ugly cut
on'the forehead and that Miss Allen
was also severely shaken up but that
the rest had escaped with minor in-
juries. -
Miss Allen and Miss Hyatt were taken
into the home ‘of Daniel Quintard,
near by, and Drs. Tracy and Hitch-
cock summoned. The former arrived
first and dressed the wound in Miss Hy-
att’s head. Miss Allen, who is about
eighty years of age, aside from a few
scratches on her head, sustained no
other injury beyond a severe shaking
up.“ They were later taken home in a
carriage.
Mr. Malkin suffered a sprained wrist
and his wife sustained several bruises
on her face and had a few teeth badly
loosened. Their little boy escaped in-
Jury.
The horses having cleared themselves
from the carriage shot across the street
to the south end- of what is known as
the “Shirt factory block” dashed
through the fence into the yard and
out again, back across the street to A.
E. Austin’s lawn, across that to Arch
and to Franklin avenue, to the Armory
where they were stopped by Frank Van
Buren, and led back home.
The carriage and harness were badly
wrecked and the horses did not escape
receiving a few severe scratches. The
fence in front of the Morison block
looks as if it had been struck by acy-
clone and Austin’s larva has the appear-
ance of having been Visited 2),..9. shoWer

Republican Caucus.
The caucus of the First District Re-
publicans, called for to-morrow even-
ing at the Buckingham Post Headquar-
ters, is expected to be one of the most
spirited and harmonious gatherings
held here for a similar purpose for
many years. The names of Capt. Bell
and James W. Maples, both capable
and worthy, have recently been sug-
gested as possible candidates, but Law-
yer J. B. Hurlbutt’s name has been so
long, so generally and so "approvingly
presented, that public sentiment seems
to have cbrystalized in favor of his
selection in so decided a preponder-
ance. that he is likely to be selected.

F. w. Benrdict Nominated.
The Republicans of Wilton met Sat-
urday evening for the purpose of nom-
inating a candidate for Representative
to the General Assembly. Fred. W.
Benedict received 120 votes, Richard
Fitch 40, and George Ogden and Chas.
A. Ambler the balance. Mr. Benedict
was declared the choice of the caucus,
and itis believed will be elected by a
handsome majority.
The Democratic caucus at the same
place will be held this evening.
O’Hulihan l O’Houlihan I !
Congressman E. J. Bill will address
a political meeting at Newtown to-
night. This is a sort of “boarding his
antagonist in his own den.” It is to be
hoped that many of Mr. O’Houlihan’s
henchmen will be present.
AN (1st EXHIBIT.
Connecticut Far Ahead of Sis-
ter States in the Cultiva-
tion of Oysters.
Fine Display of an Important Industry.
The fact that Connecticut is far ahead
of any of her sister states in the Union
in the cultivation of ovsters induced
Superintendent W. H. Hills to secure
an oyster exhibit prepared by David C
Sanford, the engineer of the shell fish
commission, and it will be shown in
the art roomin the library in Bridge-
port.
Mr. Sanford has made a life long
study of the oyster. He is familiar
with all its habits and mode of living.
He has advanced ideas which havebeen
accepted by some of the greatest sci-
entists of modern times, and is regard-
ed as an able authority on the succu-
lent bivalve. So well known is he to
the oystermen of this country that
when Dr. Esherberm of Germany came
to this country a short time ago to ac-
quire information on the subject, he
was told to come to Connecticut, and
given a letter of introduction to Mr.
Sanford.
At one time Germany produced more
oysters than any other country in the
world. Gradually this industry fell off
until now they produce less than any
other country. The German govern-
ment wishing to revive the oyster
trade, sent Dr. Esherberm on a tour of
investigation, and he has just concluded
his studies in this state. The exhibit
which can be seen in the library was
prepared by Engineer Sanford at his
request and will be taken abroad in
December'by that gentleman and ex-
hibit in Germany during the winter.
The various specimens are arranged
in glass cases. Beginning with the
spawn one week old, the exhibit shows
the oyster at various ages up to five
years. At the earliest period nothing
can be seen but a mere speck of flint
like substance.
the oyster has a shell. It gradually
increases in size until it is five weeks
old when the second shell appears. At
three months old the oyster is perfectly
deveIOped although small in size.
There is a great difference between
the cultivated and the uncultivated bi-
valve. The former is of a scallop shell
and is more marketable especially for
foreign trade owing to the fact that
they pack better than the natural oys-
ter. The latter is long with no charac-
teristics. Sometimes three or four will
be found growing together. These can
not be shipped any great distance ow-
ing to the fact that they are apt to open'
their shells during the voyage and a1~
low the liquor to escape. Then they
die. The cultivated oyster being
smaller and rounder is wedged in with
his fellows in a barrel and cannot open
his shell.
There is a difference between the oys-
ters grown on a mud bottom and those
that breed on a sandy soil. The former
stand upright on one end and will
measure seven inches in length, while
the hard soil oyster is compact, round
and firm. .
The exhibit also shows the enemies
of the oyster. The two principal Ones
are the star fish and the drill, a species
of snail. The latter are armed at one
point with a sharp end. They lie along'
side of an oyster and drill a small hole
through which the heart of the oyster
is extracted.
The star fish is not equipped with
the same weapons as the drill, but on
the underside it has a number of small
suckers, which force open the shell of
the oyster. Then an acid is discharged
which stupefies the bivalve and while
in that condidion it is devoured. The
star fish may be gotten rid of by a de-
vice known as the mop dredge. It is
somewhat like the ordinary dredge, ex-
cept that wrapped around the iron bot-
tom are strands of cotton waste which
trail along and the young star fish
catch in the fibres and are brought on
board the oyster steamers. Then they
are drOpped in vats of boiling water
and scalded. After this has been ac—
complished they are dumped overboard
again. ' .
In one corner of the art room are
three models of the boats that have
been in use during the past twenty-five
years for catching oysters. The first is
a mere dugout, capable of containing
70 bushels of oysters. The second is a
sharpie that will hold 200 bushels. The
last is a model of the latest style of oys-
ter steamer and will carry 2,800 bushels.
The exhibit is a very interesting one.
On the 14th of November it will close
and on the 17th of the same month, Mr.
Sanford will deliver a lecture on the
oyster and the work of the shell fish
commission.
Even at this early age
POLICE MAKE RAIDS.
South Norwalk Officers’ Tivo
' Visits Yesterday Were
, Unsuccessful.
__——-—-l
Sunday Liquor Selling to be Stopped.
—_—-—
Yesterday wasa busy day with the '
South Norwalk police force. Of late
they have been watching the several
liquor saloons in that city, having be-_
come suspicions that one or two of,
them were selling on Sunday.
It will be remembered that they vie--
ited Alois Koehler’s saloon last Sunday
but were unable to secure any evidence
against him. Still their suspicions
were not allayed and they decided to
make him another visit yesterday.
0n walking into his place yesterday
afternoon they were again unable to
secure any evidence against Koehler.
However, they intend to watch closely
all. of the saloons so'that they may be
able to stop any Sunday selling.
It was reported yesterday morning
that Michael Lane’s place on Water
street was opened and that he was sel-
ling liquor. Chief Vollmer and Cap-
tain Gladstone immediately visited him,
but found that he was only cleaning
out his bar room. As the informer
wished to withdraw his complaint noth-
ing was done in regard to the case.
A strict watch will hereafter be 'kept
on all liquor saloons suspected or vio-
lating the Sunday law, as Chief 'Vol-
mer has determined that the saloons in
his city must observe the law, or else
the proprietors will have to stand the
consequences.

AN EXCITING CONTEST.
- Pequonocks Scalp the Dariens in Their
First Football Match.
The Pequonocks football eleven left
South Norwalk Saturday afternoon on
the 2.57 train for Darien to play a team
in that place having as captain Carl
Wuerz. The Norwalk boys played a
good game throughout and came home
victorious byascore of 4 to 0. They
made a touch-down in the second half
but failed to kick a goal. This was the
only touch-down in the game and was
made by William Gilmore of the
Pequonocks eleven.
In the first half “Billy” Half, who
was playing left guard for the Pequon-
ocks, strained his‘ left knee and also
sprained his right ankle. He was
brought home in a carriage by F. S.
Ambler, who drove down to witness
the game, and Frank Volk took his
place. Up to the time he was in-
jured Huff played an exceedingly
brilliant game, making several very
fine tackles.
The Norwalk and Darien boys will
consolidate next Friday and play the
eleven from Betts’ Academy at either
Darien or Stamford.
Refutes Idle Gossip.
Col. Frost in his felicitous speech at
the South Norwalk caucus, took the op-
portunity to stamp out alot of false
and:idle stories going the rounds, as
follows:
“I want to say with reference to this
nomination that if you shall ratify it at
the polls you will send to the legisla-
ture a representative, untrammelled by
any premises and unfettered by any
pledges. I have made no promises to
any man, any company or any corpora-
tion. I shall go to represent the people
who sent me there.”
The same may be said in advance of
candidate Hurlbutt. All gossip to the
contrary is as totally untrue in his case
as in the case of our popular and worthy
South Norwalk nominee.
Judson Out of Politics.
The Republicans of Stratford ~ will
hold their caucus-for the nomination of
Representatives to the Legislature and
for justics of the peace to-morrow eve-
ning at the Town hall. The indications
are that Attorney Edward F. Hall lwill
receive the nomination for Representa-
tive. Stiles Judson, Jr., says that he
is out of politics this year.
A Female Swindler.
A woman who gave her name as An-
nie Robinson, and her home as Boston,
was sent to jail for three months by
Judge Young at Stamford, Saturday,
for swindling the clergy of that city.
She worked upon their sympathy to
reach their pocketbooks, by claiming
that she was hungry, penniless, and in
search of a lost sister.
Homeward Bound.
Sheriff Hawley and Dr. Lincoln are
homeward bound from Europe, having .
sailed from Southampton for New York
on thesteamer St. Louis Saturday.
HE CLAIMS $5,000.
Attorney Beecher Charged
with Having Slandered Mi-
chael I. Carmody.
A Typical Newtown Sensation.
Attorneys Toomey & Lynch of
Bridgeport, have drawn up papers in a
suit- against Attorney W. B. Beecher,
of Newtown, in the interest of Michael
F. Carmody, of that place. The case
is an action for slander, and the plain-
‘tifi' asks for $5,000 damages. ~
This appears to be another typioa
N ewtown sensation. Last Monday the
Republican, nominated Mr. Beecher
for judge of Probate. Mr. Beecher is
a gold Democrat, and the Republicans
selected him in the hope of ousting the
present incumbent, Michael J. Bradley.
After the nomination was made, Mr.
Beecher was sent for, and in his speech
of acceptance, he said that he was still
a Democrat. He also said, the papers
in the suit allege, that he would have
received the Democratic nomination
six years ago, but was prevented by the
stuffing of the ballot box by Michael
Carmody, who was working for his
cousin, Judge Bradley.
The charge he made was noised about
Newtown after the convention and
when Judge Bradley and Mr. Carmody
heard of it they went about investiga-
ting and the action againstIMr. Beecher
for slander is the result. The papers
were given to Sheriff William B. Glover
to serve. They are returnable the first
Tuesday in December in the Superior
court.
Attorney Beecher was seen at his of-
fice in relation to the suit against him.
He said the papers had not been served
on him yet, but he was not surprised,
as he received an intimation of it a few
days ago. He was sorry, he said, that
the case could not be tried before
election day.
The primary cause of the action, he
said, was to raise a prejudice against
him with certain voters. It was a po-
litical game, and they were entitled to
all the political capital they could make
out of it. The man most interested in
the matter was Probate Judge Bradley
a cousin of the plaintiff, who is anxious
to make every political point in his
favor. “But as regards the charges on
the paper,” explained Mr. Beecher, “I
have no fear but that I can prove Mr.
Carmody made such a confession to me
after the Democratic Probate conven-
tion six years ago; that be stuffed the
ballot box in favor of this cousin,
Michael J. Bradley, who did secure the
nomination.
O
Entirely Proper.
Captain George S. Bell, of Cove
street, is working for the nomination
of Representative by the caucus of the
First and Third district Republicans,
Tuesday evening. East Norwalk Re-
publicans may unite on him—Hour.
Had the Hour been equally candid
it would have added. that its own boy-
editor, James W. Maples, was “work-
ing” much harder than Captain Bell, to
secure the same nomination. It is an
entirely honorable ambition. Capt.
Bell and young Mr. Maples have a per-
fect right to “work” for the nomina-
tion. Both are handicapped, however,
by the earlier appearance of Mr. Hurl-
butt as a candidate, and failure will re-
flect n0" discredit upon either gentle-
man. "

The Lights Went Out.
The Rice Comedians finished a Week’s
successful engagement at the Opera
House. Saturday night with “Daniel
Boone” as the drawing card. A full
house was present and witnessed a scene
not set down on the bills. During an
exciting love scene, and just as there
was to be an interchange of busses be-
tween one of the characters and his
best girl, the lights went out. But
that mattered little, as the collision
was heard as distinctly as if some bo-
vine had been drawing his hoof out of
of bed ofmud. The comedians are good
entertainers.
