Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mitchell Reconciled by a Sympa- thizing Parson. The Husband Admitted Error. An affecting scene was witnessed in Supt. Birmingham’s office at Police Headquarters in Bridgeport last night, when an estranged husband and wife were reunited through the efforts of a minister of the gospel who was present and saw that the wife was a deserving woman and the husband a man not bad at heart. The husband, who met his wife with annoyance on his face, left the station with her after promising to do. right in the future, the wife showing perfect happiness on every feature. The couple were Henry Mitchell and his wife, formerly of this city, who had been separated for some months. Mitch- ell left his wife and went to work on a farm at Bedding Ridge, but went to Bridgeport a few days ago to spend his money in drink. Mrs. Mitchell, who is an unusually attractive woman and to all appearances a loving wife, learned that he was in Bridgeport, and on the advice of friends went there to look for him. Yesterday she caused a warrant for his arrest on the charge of non- support to be issued, and last night he was arrested. Mrs. Mitchell was at Headquarters when her erring husband > was taken in, and greeted him in terms of reproach so gentle that it was ap- parent to all observers that her heart was not in the making of trouble for him. Rev. John W. Gill, rector of St. Luke’s Episcopal church, who frequent- 1y visits headquarters, witnessed the meeting, and saw that a reconcilation of the couple was not impossible. After he'had listened to their talk for a few minutes he knew that Mitchell’s mother was at the bottom of the trouble, and assdEed the duty of clearing away the clouds that marred the serenity of the ' life of the couple who had vowed to be one until death should part. - Witha tact that proved him to be the possessor of a thorough knowledge of human nature Mr. Gill began to talk to the wife and then to the husband. The result of the talk was that the wife withdrew the complaint and the hus- band solemnly promised to live in hap- piness with his Wife in the future and signed a written pledge of total abfii- dence from intoxicating liquors which was witnessed by Supt. Birmingham and Prosecuting ‘ Attorney Giddings. The wife then kissed her husband and carressed him so affectionately that it was plain that she had not been the erring one. They then went away to- gether. When Mitchell left his wife he took with him their two children, who are now at Bedding Ridge. He agreed to bring them back to Norwalk to-day. The couple have had five children, three of whom are dead.‘ Mrs. Mitchell and her husband spent the night with relatives and came back to their former home this morning. Mitchell was once well-to-do and had a good home at Wil- ton, but lost it through bad habits. Then his mother interfered in his do- mestic affairs, and the separation fol- lowed.

One bouquet contained just twenty-one exquisite La France roses. ELUDED THE CHIEF. W. H. Itelly Strikes Mrs. Weyerhauser and Then Skips Out—Arrested Later. About three weeks ago a molder who gave his name as W. H. Kelly came to this city from Massachusetts and suc- ceeded in securing employment at the foundry on Hoyt street. He boarded at Mrs. Weyerhauser’s, on River street. Yesterday afternoon 'he became en- gaged in an argument with Joseph Moore, as to the source of their crea- tion. The argument took place at Mrs. Weyerhauser’s. Kelly was get- ting rather the worse of the argument when he suddenly let go his right fist and delt Moore a trip-hammer blow on the face, knocking him down. Mrs. Weyerhauser then interfered and Kelly struck her, loosening two or three of her teeth. In the meantime Chief Bradley was summoned, but be- fore the big chief put in an appearance Kelly was scooting out of reach around Cross street. . In company with Moore who had by this time rallied from the blow the Chief started after Kelly but failed in detecting him. He then rode to South Norwalk and made a circuit of the saloons but could not locate his man. During the Chief’s absence in South Norwalk Kelly returned to the foundry and asked for his money, and proceed- ed to pick up his tools. Word was sent to the police and Special Ofiicer Valiant who was in citizen’s dress, went to the foundry and placed Kelly under arrest. but the prisoner refused to go with him unless shown a warrant for his ar- rest. Then there was a tussle. By this time the Chief had returned and learn- ing of the situation went to Valiant’s assistance and the fellow was hustled down to the station-house. This morning he was taken before Judge Hubbell, who sent. him to jail for thirty days on the charge of assault and fined him $10 and costs, $17. 70, f or abusive language. The charge of re- sistance to officers was not pressed. Officer Valiant accompanied the prison- er to the Bridgeport jail this morning. Memorial Service. Last evening a very touching service was held at the home of Herman Fan- cher, Unionville. Rev. F. E. Robbins preached a memorial sermon in remem- brance of thirteen members of that community who have died within the last two years, eight of whom have been;removed within eleven months. Excepting two little ones, all of these were adults, many of them heads of families. Billvarnstthe Victor. Before the Broadway Athletic club in New York last night, Billy Ernst, of Brooklyn, and Leslie Pearce, of Phila- delphia were down'for a fifteen-round battle at 135 pounds. In the fifth round Ernst with a couple of heavy swings on the jaw placed Pearce on queer street and received the verdict. Erast was at one time a pupil of Prof. George Yoerger of Norwalk.

Six Divorces Granted by Judge Prentice in the Superior Court. Only Two Norwalk Cases in the Bunch. Seven applications for. divorce re- ceived the attention of Judge Prentice in the Superior Court at Bridgeport, yesterday. Of one of the cases the Bridgeport Post says: “Pretty Maud Hamilton of Norwalk had the worst tale of all to tell. Maud is a dainty little lady with dark hair and eyes, an olive complex- ion and a pair of red lips, and every one concluded that the man must have been a brute who could ill treat her. “Cruelty and desertion were the grounds upon which her lawyer, Prose- cutor John H. Light, asked for the di- vorce. Maud ‘said she married Mark K. Hamilton on Nov. 1, 1888. She soon discovered that he was of a terri- bly jealous nature and would not let her speak to another man, not even his own brother. In a little over a month after the knot was tied Mark pinched her arm until it was black and blue be- cause she went out without his permis- sion. In the January following be met her one day on the street and struck her because she was out without telling him. . Two months afterwards, when they had gone to housekeeping he kicked her in a most brutal manner. “Maud’s mother told about seeing the kick. She happened to be in the house without the husband’s knowledge. The mother told of other acts of cruelty. Mark would go up to kiss his wife and would then put his foot on her toe and press down until she screamed with pain. Then he would want to kiss her again. The decree was granted, and her name charged to Maud Gray.” Julia Bagcho, a Hungarian women of South Norwalk, asked the court to free her from Joseph Bagcho, now living in the West. ' She was married to the de- fendant on Febuary 24, 1892, the occa- sion being brought about by means of law. The next morning, Bagcho left Norwalk and according to the testimony has since re-married and has a second wife and one child. The decree was granted on the ground of desertion. Danbury 8:. Norwalk Railroad Election. At the annual meeting of the .stock- holders of the Danbury & Norwalk Railroad company, holden at New Ha- ven, Thursday, 8,962 votes were cast, all of which were for F. St. John Lock- wood, Cbarles P. Clark, John M. Hall, Benjamin R. English, George J. Brush Eben Hill, Edmund Tweedy, Charles H. Merritt and John P. Treadwell, for directors. At a subsequent meeting of the di- rectors, the ofiicers elected for the en- suing year were F. St. John Lockwood, President; Charles P. Clark, vice presi- dent; William E. Barnett, clerk; C. E. Robinson, treasurer. Coo '— A Great Success. There are many remarkable successes on the road this season, but none ex- ceed the popularity enjoyed by the latest New York succes, Annie Pixley’s great sentimental farce, "The Deacon’s Daughter.” Press and public accord it an ovation wherever presented. The scenic effects are superb, the story an intense and interesting one, unlike the many unreasonable and unnatural plays with which the public are surfeited. ‘It is full of hearty laughter, bright and catchy music, the most sensational climaxes. The company is one of the strongest on the road. .o— It Can’t Change the Result. The “New Haven Leader” hears that $75,090 was brought into this state yes- terday to help the silver democrats. If true it is a pile of money to be wasted. A special drive is to be made against E. J. Hill and N. D. Sperry for Con- gress. This will only spur their friends to greater efforts to increase their ma- jorities. Every honest money elector in this district should cast his vote straight for Hill. Sam Gets His Check. Fireman Samuel Foster is in receipt of a check for $14 from the State Fire- men’s Association by reason of illness brought about from exposure at the fire on Wilton avenue. By reason of neg- ligence on the part of some one, the claim of Joseph Goldschmidt who fell from a ladder at‘the same fire, and sus- tained severe injuries, has not yet been allowed. An Omen. The posters announcing the free sil- ver meeting at South N or-walk next Monday night, are printed on gold-bug paper. ,BIKE THEUIAUGHT. Attempts to Sell a Wheel ' Stolen in Port Chester. \— Makes a Full Confession of His Guilt. This morning about 11 o’clock, a colored man entered the Orient bi- cycle store on South Main street, South Norwalk, and offered a Crescent bi- cycle for sale. Col. Hod Saunders be- came suspicious of the man, and as the wheel showed hard usage, he refused to make an offer for the wheel. The stranger thereupon said it was a $65 wheel and he would sell it for $23, finally dropping to 815. ‘Col. Saunders was now thoroughly convinced that the wheel was stolen and sent a young man named Beers for the police. Chief Vollmer and Detective Glad— stone promptly responded, and to them the man said that he had been em- ployed as a coachman by J. J. Wilson, of Cranbury, but had left his employ on not receiving his wages. He had ridden from New York this morning and was on his way to Cranbury to col- lect the wages due him. He said he had bought the wheel new for $65. A GAZETTE reporter noticed that one of the spokes of the front wheel had secured to it a trip for a cyclometer but instead of a cyclometer on the axle there was a lamp bracket. He men- tioned the fact to the Chief and the man said he had never had a cyclometer on the wheel, it being in the same con- dition as when he first purchased it. This satisfied the Chief that some- thing was wrong and he took the man to police headquarters on suspicion. Here the GAZETTE reporter examin ed the tool bag on the machine and dis- covered that the nipple to the pump was missing. Chief Vollmer was again prompted and asked the man when he last pumped up his tires. “This morn- ing before I started,” came the prompt reply. The man when further ques- tioned said he had used the pump in the tecl'bag. At the Chief’s sugges- tion he attempted to pump their-tires up again, but after working for full ten minutes ina vain attempt to connect the nippleless pump with the tire nipple he gave it up in 7disgust. He told the chief that his name was George H. Stark and that he lived at 114 West 38th street, New York. After telling no end of lies the thief was taken down stairs and placed in a cell. This was too much for him, and he soon confessed to the Chief that he had stolen the bicycle in Port Chester between 4 and 5 o’clock this morning. The stolen wheel is a Crescent, No. 121,891. g A Happy Victim. Edna, the 13-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Grumman, of North avenue, will ever hold in pleasant remembrance, the evening of October 30th, 1896. She was on that evening the happy victim of a surprise party. Her young friends to the number of about fifty, armed with refreshments and cheerful countenances called on. her and practically took possession of the house. They were cordially wel- comed by Edna as soon as she recov- ered from the surprise part of the afi'air, and all were soon making as merry as if each had been presented with a 320 gold piece. There were games, dancing, and all that goes to make such occasions a lasting remem- brance. In fact it was between 12 and 1 o’clock when the pretty hostess bade her last guest good-night. A little Miss who attends lots of parties tells the re- porter “I never had a better time in my life, lots of fun and lots to eat, and Edna’s mother and father were awfully good to us.” ___.._._._....._.__..._.. People Were Startled. People were somewhat started early this morning to see the American flag on the Hope Hose headquarters floating with the Union down. The evil was after a time remedied. It seems that the gallant Captain Costello assisted by fireman “Joe” Goldschmidt, in his haste to do honor to McKinley and his country, tied the halyards on the re- verse end with the above startling effect. The Captain is positive that it will not occur again. Boy Wanted. Any bright, intelligent and active boy who wants to learn the printing business can secure a situation at this office.
