COAST‘BURGLARS.
. A The Sloop of One of the Gangs Captured,
, and Almost the Men. ~
Burglars tried to do a lively business
along .the west Sound shore Friday
night. At Fairfield, Lou Allen, who is
a watchman for the cottages in that vi-
cinity, saw 'a sleep approach the shore
and five landed. After they had entered
the‘cottage of Judge F. B Hall of the
Supreme court, he fired his gun, blew
his whistle, and tried to make them
think the house was surrounded.
' When Deputy Sheriff Bulkley arriwd
with two men investigation showed that
the burglars had escaped by a side win-
dow. They had prepared to‘take every-
thing movable. The ofiicers captured
the sloop.’ It is an open' coat about
twenty-five feet long, with a large
amount of room in it for storage. It
draws a little water. There is no name
on it, and nothing is found aboard to
indicate to whom it belonged or to fur-
nish a clue as to the identity of those
who sailed it last night. The sloop was
run ashore near the ‘cottages. The
men are supposed to be John Killet and
Alexander Lorimen and another. All
three belong at Perth Amboy, N. J.,
and are known to the police of New
York and New Jersey.

Recent Deaths.
Henry Warren, whose funeral was
held in New Haven November 181b,
was Connecticut’s most noted “news-
boy.” He was the first “boy” to sell
papers on the Derby railroad. He was
then over 60 years of age and he con-
tinued to hold his exclusive franchise
over all others until afew years ago,
when he was persuaded to desist by his
son, Herbert C. Warren, a successful
banker of New Haven. Before selling
papers he was a school teacher in the
Naugatuck valley.
George Denny Wright, well known
in‘poli’tical and insurance circles in
Hartford, died November 19, at Ashe-
ville, N. C., aged 29 years. He was
married in Hartford on November 12
to Annie B. daughter ofC. C. Hubbard,
and went South on his wedding trip
and in search of health, but the disease
had too far advanced to hope for his
'recovery. .
VRoderick I. Chandler, aged 70 died
at his home in West Haven, November
19. He was for years employed as
machinist at the West Haven Bgckle
-company’s factory. He was a strong

Burglary in Glenbrook.
Burglars entered the Glenbrook sta-
tion Friday night. but got little for their
rpains. The only loss which has been
ascertained is that of stamps to the value
of $6.47, which were taken frOm a
drawer. They broke another drawer
adjoining the stamp drawer, but failed
to note that it contained the money-
order book. The failure to discover
“this book is probably due to the fact
that it was tightly rolled up. A num-
ber of letters in the postofiice boxes
were taken out and examined, and a
foreign letter was torn open, probably
with the expectation of finding some-
1thing in it of value. Entrance was
effected by means of a window.

A Bad Break.
A number of pet rabbits and choice
poultry would have been drowned late
Saturday afternoon but for the prompt
. action of their owner. A water main
on Mechanic street burst and the water
rushed down in a perfect torrent at the
rear of the buildings on the North side
of Wall street, threating to inundate
everything in its way as were the chick-
-ens and rabbits.
The water was shut off, and led to an
amusing kitchen scene at the Norwalk
hotel the next morningin which genial
Landlord Tuttle was the bright particu-
lar star as he wrestled over a small
cooking stove in getting ready break-
fast for'an army of boarders including
many transients. The shutting off the
water incapacitated the regular stove
for duty.

How to Cure :1 Severe Cold.
A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a. very severe cold that caused him to
be in amost miserable condition. It was
undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and
recognizing it as dangerous he took imme-
diate steps to bring about a. speedy cure.
From the advertisement of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy and the many good recom-
mendations included therein, we concluded
to make a first trial of the medicine. To
say that it was satisfactory in its results, is
piutting it very mildly, indeed. It acted
ke magic and the result was a speedy and
neat cure. —lec Banner of Liberty,
