A LIQUOR RAID. _
Chief Vollmer Descends Upon
- Sarah Larrigan’s Res-
\ taurant and Arrests
the Proprietress.
On Monday last the GAZETTE pub-
liehed an exclusive account of the raid-
ing of several liquor saloons in South
Norwalk, by- Chief Vollmer and his
officers, who suspected that Sunday li-
quor selling was going on. In the GA-
zn'r'rn’s account of the police raids it
was stated that Chief Vollmer proposed
to put a stop to Sunday liquor selling
in South Norwalk, and a warning was
given to alleged violators.
The warning was not heeded, how-
ever, and early yesterday merning
Chief Vollmer and Detective Gladstone
descended upon the restaurant kept by
Sarah Larrigan at 55 Water street.
Mrs. Larrigan was arrested and re-
leased to appear before the Town Court
at 9 o’clock this morning.
The police secreted themselves in a
convenient spot and took the names of
a large number of visitors, after which
they raided the place and found five
men present. The bartender was found
behind the bar with a partly consumed
glass of beer standing before him on
the bar. He claimed that he had just
been drinking the beer.
A search of the premises was made
and although Mrs. Larrigan had but a
beer license, a bottle of whiskey was
found behind the bar, and secreted be-
hind an ice box was found a three-gal-
lon demijohn containing over two gal-
lons of whiskey.
This morning when the case was
called, Judge Frost continued it until
Monday next and placed Mrs. Larrigan
under 3100 bonds.
Hillside.
A very unique and happy Hallow’een
party was that given the pupils of Mrs.
M. .E. Mead’s Hillside school Saturday
evening. The guests were invited to
an half past five o’clock tea which was
served in the spacious dining room and
consisted of all the delicacies of the
season. After tea games and dancing
were indulged in the young people hav-
ing a merry time. The evening’s enter-
. tainment ended with the dancing of the
“Minuet." Several of Mrs. Mead’s
pupils were unable to be present. Those,
however, who were there represented

Before the Battle.
Last evening at the First Congrega-
tional church, Pastor Noble chose as
his theme, "Before the Battle—Some
things everyCitizenjshould Remember”
taking his text from 2d Peter, 1:12-13.
He put his people in remembrance of
many fundamental and far reaching
truths. It was a brilliant sermon in
which the duty of every voter was
fully set forth in the present crisis and
matters of ominous importance. Dr.
Noble closed his discourse by saying
that if he could get the ear of every
voter he would whisper this one mes-
sage, “I‘hink! Think broadly! Think
intelligently! Think thoroughly! and
then go to the polls on Tuesday next
and cast your vote conscientiously and
as under the eye of God.”

Don’t forget that the game will be
played at the Fair Grounds and the

The Police Visit Carl Schaub
and Place Him Under
Arrest.
Cards and Poker Chips Captured.
For some time it has been whispered
about South Norwalk that an “open”
poker game was being run up stairs
over Carl Schaub’s Imperial Cafe at 9
Railroad Place. ',On Saturday night,
shortly after midnight, a tip having
been given Captain Gladstone, he with
his officers made a raid on the place.
The officers found the front door
locked and. rang the bell for admit-
tance. No one appearing promptly,
Captain Gladstone put his shoulder to
the door and attempted to force it open,
but failed. His attempt, however,
must have warned the occupants as the
door was soon opened.
Going up stairs the officers found the
room empty, but from appearances it
was evident a hasty exit had been made
by several, among whom it is said were
two or three well known young men.
Cards and plenty of chips were found,
which Captain Gladstone secured as
evidence. He then placed Carl Schaub,
the owner of the building and saloon,
under arrest and released him on his
promise to appear before the Town
Court this morning.
When Schaub’s case was called be-
fore Judge Frost this morning, it was
continued until. Monday next under
$200 bonds.

Political Notes.
A tidal wave of flags swept through
New York yesterday irresistable and
compelling. The Stars and Stripes
teach but one lesson—patriotism and
fidelity. Dishonesty and repudiation
have no representation in the red,
white and blue.—Sunday’s Herald.
William Garland, of Greenwich,
Conn“ filled with applejack, bought
seventeen McKinley buttons and a pint
of peanuts, and then tried to hug the
whole town, while celebrating the New
York monster parade. He was finally
gathered in, fined $3 and sent home
to Greenwich. -
General Horace Porter says Satur-
'day’s parade was the greatest civic pro-
cession known in the history of the
world, and Porter knows more than
100,000 men were in line, and it took
seven and a half hours for them to pass
a given point.
Governor Altgeld and Senator Jones
are ina row with each other because
Jones did not classify Illinois as a sure

At the crisis of his political life, Wil-
liam J. Bryan, seeing only one side of

A Club House Burned.
What is known as the Cobble Hel-
lians club house, was burned to the
ground between 8 and 9 o’clock last
night. The building, a small shanty,
was located in the swamp just off from
the New Canaan road, and has been a
source of annoyance to people living in
that neighborhood for a long time. It
is believed that many of the chickens
stolen in that section have been cooked
and eaten in the old shanty, and it is
hinted that it was set on fire by some
one who could no longer tolerate the
nuisance. However, its burning will
be hailed with delight by a goodly
number of owners of chickens.

FORGER As WELL AS THIEF.
The PortChester Crook Had Gotten Away
With $90 Before He Stole the Bike.
Deputy Sherifi Cooke, of Port Ches‘
ter, came to South Norwalk Saturday
afternoon, in response to a telephone
message from Chief Vollmer advising
him of the arrest of the colored bicycle
thief, George H. Stark.
He said Stark was also wanted in
Port Chester on the charge of forgery,
he having forged a check for $90 in
that city. '
It seems that Stark was one of the
trustees of the Starr Beneficial Asso-
ciation of Port Chester, and having
forged the names of the other two trus-
tees to a check for 390 had signed his
own name. and securing the money,
left town.
Since that time the Port Chester au-
thorities have been hunting for him
without success, and deputy' sheriff
Cooke states that he is one of the slyest
criminals in this section of the country.
The owner of the bicycle had not as
yet reported the loss of his wheel to the
Port Chester police, but as soon as he
does it will be returned to him.
Sheriff Cooke took Stark to Port
Chester where he will be tried on both
the charges of forgery and theft.

Mr. Henry A. Clapp finished his
lecture upon "King Lear” Saturday
evening. His large audience of appre-
ciative and intelligent listeners were
deeply interested and held in thrall by
the exposition of the great tragedy.
The Club House again demonstrated
itself to be a cosy and pleasant audi-
torium. The assembly rooms were
radiant with gorgeous yellow chrysan-
themums in pots, which were banked
behind the platform. It was a pleasure
to the many friends Mr. Clapp has made
in Norwaik to have a few words of
pleasant talk with him after his lecture,
Her Lucky Escape.
Mr. Peter J. O’Brien who for the
past five years has occupied as a grocery
store the building at the corner of
Chapel and Water streets known as the
“Allen House” has removed all his be-
longings from there to his new store at
the corner of Hoyt and Main streets.
In taking out one of the counters sev-
eral large holes were brought to view
in the flooring. In some manner Mrs.
O’Brien stepped into one of these holes
and was quite severely bruised about
her lower limbs. That she escaped
without the breaking of some of her
bones seems miraculous. She is about
today, but is still quite lame.

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
,Found in the River Sans Every--
thing and with a Stone
Tied to His Neck.
Body Found Yesterday Morning.
The dead body of a drowned man,
stripped of every article of clothing and
with a heavy stone attached to the neck
by a rope, was the startling discovery
made yesterday morning, in the House-
tonic river, by a young man named
Cavanaugh and a companion, who had
been hunting. The body, which was
afterwards identified as that of Hugh
Campbell, a well known resident of
Newtown was lifted from the water and
assistance summoned. Dr. James W.
Gordon, who was summoned, ascer-
tained that life had been extinct for
many hours, and the body was removed
to Campbell’s house.
The circumstances were such as to
lead many people to suppose at first
that Campbell had been a victim of
foul play, but a careful investigation
disposes entirely of any theory of
murder. That the body was weighted
down seemed to be conclusive evi-
dence, before all the facts in the case
were known, that Campbell had been
attacked, robbed of his clothing and
thrown into the river, but it is now
certain that the man attached the stone
himself and deliberately committed
suicide. '
Cavanaugh and his companion were
induced to begin the search that ended
in the discovery of the body by find-
ing a pile of clothing neatly folded, by
the river bank. Convinced that a man
who had chosen the first day of Nov-
ember to go in swimming, needed as-
sistance of some kind, the young men
ran along the bank in each direction.
The body was found some distance
away from the cothing, about 500 feet
below Bennett’s bridge. Whether the
man had walked after undressing or
whether the body had been washed
down the stream is not known.
Campus" had been mentally unbal-
lanced for nearly a year, and several
months ago he disappeared. Several
weeks passed before he was found and
returned to his home. Yesterday
morning he left the house at ten
o’clock and was not seen again alive.
At what hour he committed the deed
is of course unkno wn. The stone about
the neck was of such weight that the
struggle for life, once he was in the
river, could not have been a protracted
one.
Campbell was about 32 years of age
and unmarried. For many years he was
a coachman for John V. Giles, of
Bridgeport. He had not been em-
ployed since his return to Newtown,
nearly two months ago. Coroner
Doten, of Bridgeport, has been notified.
