The Schooner Bonnell Left
On Cockenoe’s '
Island.

 

 

 

The Blaze Could Not be Extinguished.

 

 

After the steamer Medea with the GA
ZE'r'rE reporter on board, left the burn-
ing schooner M. L. Bonnell ofi' Goose
Island yesterdiy morning, Captain
Stanley Lewndes towed the vessel to
Cockenoe’s Island and left her to burn,
it being impossible to put out the
flames. She is still burning and will
prove a total loss.

When the Lowudes started up the
harbor for South Norwalk, the captain
of the Bonnell, W. L. McLear, and the
mate Watson Ludlow and the entire

crew of six men, hailed him and were ,

taken on board and brought to South
Norwalk.

Captain McLear was taken to Dr. J.
T. Kennedy’s office by Reporter Mitch-
ell of the Sentinel, where he had an old
wound on his arm, which. had broken
out again, dressed. The captain said
the fire was caused by the overturning
of a- lantern.

Mate Ludlow was in the lazarette

' filling a flashlight with. turpentine,
when the lantern which he carried, was
overturned by a lurch of the vessel and
the turpentine ignited He gave the
alarm and the crew worked about
three-quarters of an hour trying to put
out the fire, but could not. They then
tried to secure the sails and succeeded
in getting the new jib into the small
boat but the mai-nsail was too heavy
and they could not manage it.

While they were working the tug
“Mary Ann,” from New Haven to New
York, came along and they took their
small boat and boarded her and re-
mained aboard until early morning
when they rowed to the Norwalk Light
on Sheffield Island.

The Captain and mate lost every-
thing,but several of the crew succeeded
in saving some of their‘eti'ects.

The Bonnell was of 300 tons and
cost $7,000, Captain McLaar has been
\her skipper since she first floated.

She was'owmed by F. S. Bonnell of
New Brunswick, McLear being part
owner. , .

The Bonnell cleared on December 24
for New Zealand with a miscellaneous
cargo shipped by Sir. Roderick Came-
ron & Co.,‘ of New York. She anchored
off City Island and again set sail on
Tuesday.

In the pargo was 69,600 gallons of
petroleum in cake, 864 gallons of tur-
pentine and general merchandise ag-
gregating in value $15,558.

The crew were sent home to New
York on the propeller, last night.

Hadden—Brennan.

Last evening was an eventful one in
the lives of Mr. John Hadden and Miss
May Brennan of this city, they having

 

 

plighted their troth for weal or woe-

and until death do them part.

'They visrted the Sr. \Iarv’ p.rochial
residence in company with a). few friends
and were united in marriage by Rev.
Father Furlong.

Mrs. Francis Algara, a sister of the
bride, was the maid of honor and her
husband was the groom’s best man.
The bride was prettily attired in a
gown of lavender colored silk.

After the ceremony the wedding party
was driven in coaches to the home of
the groom where a reception was held,
the festivities lasting until an early
hour this morning. .

There‘wasawealth of elegant wed.
ding presents and congratulations ga-
lore, and the couple start out on the
sea of matrimony with every outlook
of a happy voyage through life. ’

The groom is the only son of Mrs.
Elizabeth M. F. Hadden of the Pros-
.cott House and a young man who has
scores of friends who.will wish him
every happiness. The bride in a
daughter of Professor E. J. Brennan.

A Popular Calendar. -\

Few, people in these busy days are
willing to live without a calendar to
mark the passing of time.
no doubt, accounts for the calendars of
all kinds, colors, shapes and sizes
which flood the mails at this season.
Among them is issued one by N. W.
Ayer & Son, the “Keeping Ever-
lastinglv At It” Newspaper Advertis-
ing Agents of Philadelphia. We have
just received our new copy and are
fixed for 1897. The publishers state
that the demand for this calendar has
_ always exceeded the supply. This led
them years ago to place upon it a nom-
inal price-25 cents, on'receipt of which

. it is sent, postpaid and securely packed,

to any address.

Box 35'PULLED.
Austin I& Cr—an‘g—Toy Factory

on the Steamboat Dock
Destroyed.

An Overturned Lamp the cause.

Au alarm from Box 35, at the corner
of Haviland and Water streets, South
Norwalk, ten minutes after 5 o’clock
last evening, called the fire department
of that city to the toy factory of Austin
& Craw on the Steamboat dock.

A Iightedlamp had been placed upon
a box sitting on a Work bencb,which in
some way was overturned. When it
struck the bench itbroke and the blaz-
ing oil scattered all over the bench and
upon the floor. An unseccessful at-
tempt, was made to put it out, and then
an alarm for the fire department was
rung in. ,

When the department arrived the
entire interior of the building was in
flames and the adjoining building oc-
cupied by 'Blacksmith Mullings as
begining to ignite. A stream of wa-
ter was soon turned on. and after an
hour.’s hard work the flames were ex-
tinguished.

Austin dz Craw manufacture games
and toys and a tea and coffee strainer.
They had quite a large amount of goods
on hand all of which will prove a total
loss as well as their tools and dies.
They carried an insurance of $600 with
Jacob M. Layton, but this will not
cover their loss. -

The buildings belong to the Nelson
Taylor estate, and the damage to both
will amount to $300. The Austin &
Craw building was insured for $500 and
the Mullings for $300 with Taylor 8.:

Burglars Visit the Misses
Bradley on Fairfield »
Avenue. "

Gold Watches and Diamonds Gone.

« Last evening about a quarter past;
eight o’clock, the Misses Mary A. and

No. 6 Fairfield avenue and went to call
on Rev. and Mrs. F. W. Norris at 61
West street. ,

They remained at Mr. Norris’ until
10 o’clock when they returned home.
On entering the house they were sur~
prisedto find everything turned upside
down its though the place had been
thoroughly ransacked. Making an
investigation they discovered that dur-
ing their absence a pane of glass in
the back window near the kitchen door
had been broken out and the window
catch pushed back and an entrance ef-
fected, the burglars leaving the win-
dow open on departing. ,

A further search disclosed the fact
that the burglars had made off with $11
in money, two gold watches, two gold
chains, one a cable and the other plain,
seven gold breastpins, one amythist
ring, three diamond pins, one Mexican
silver dollar and two pairs of jet and
gold bracelets, amounting in all to
about $200.

The Rev. Mr. Norris was advised of
the robbery and he reported the mat-

an effort to capture the thieves.

From the operation of the parties, it
would appear as though they had
watched the house until they saw the
occupants leave and then gained en-
trance in a similar manner to that
made at the house of Mr. Dennis, on
Quintard avenue, some weeks ago.

Judge Hall Gives Decision in Favor of
Street Railway Company.

 

On the 4th of April, 1890, the Street
Railway company filed a petition ask-
ing for a layout for the double tracking
of their branch road to Winnipauk
from a point near the Gregory place
on Main street, southerly to Wall
street. Later the prayer of the peti-
tioners was denied by the council.
The Street Railway companyxjook ‘ an
appeal. Amotion to dismiss such ap-
peal was denied by Judge Hall of the
Superior court, his finding being
handed down yesterday.

The Street Railway Company had
previously offered to compromise by
making the double-track terminus at a
point hear Hoyt street but without ef-
feet.

The city is granted the usual space of
time in which to appeal from the decis-
ion of Judge Hall.

The Street Railway company notes it
as a victory for their side while the
city feels that the end is not yet as an
appeal will probally be taken to the
Supreme Court.

POOL ROOM RAID. .

Law and OrderLeague De-
tectives Make Stam-
ford a Visit;

 

Prisoners Placed Under $3,000 Bonds.

One of the biggest raids that the‘Law
and Order league ever figured in was
made successfully yesterday afternoon

league struck a hard blow to the pool
room industry so prevalent in this state.
’Ten detectives of the league; ten de-
tectives from New York and several of
the Stamford police'descended upon
two pool rooms and arrested 18 men.
All but two of these were interested in
the rooms. The two exceptions were
caught in the 'act of betting.

After the arrest the men were hustled
to the railroad station and taken to
Bridgeport, where they were arranged
before Judge George W. Wheeler, who
sat on the bench in a special sessio n of
the Superior courtdcriminal side,
called bv Chief Justice Andrews.
Judge Wheeler after listening to At-
torney Fesseuden’s statements concern-
ing the matter, fixed the bonds in each
case at 33,000. -

A look of surprise passed over the
countenances of the prisoners when the
amount of the bonds was placed by
Judge Wheeler. The surprised look
gave way to one of uneasiness. Few of
those in the court room, thought that
more than four or five would find
bondsmen. This proved an erfoneous
idea, for all were released. The bonds-
men who qualified were John McD evitt
and John H. Lee,» of Stamford. Both
are saloon keepers in that town and
both are rennrl’n'd to be interested in
the pool rooms. Lee keeps the most
famous saloon in Stamfor d. It is
called the silver dollar saloon. Me-
:Devitt furnished bonds for four of ’the
prisoners and Lee for the remainder.
The names given on the bonds were as
follows: _ Thomas Plunkett, Charles L.
Kent, Robe rt Banker, William Smith,
George Lawrence, Isadore Cohen, John
Wilson, D. Abrahame, H. Mahler, Wilf
Iiam English E. Cohen, J. A. Bee‘oe, -T.
Alphonse, jr., F. Foley. W. J. Mulli-
gan, Samuel Gaylor and Frank Carter.
Two of them. Mulligan and Plunkett,

were at One time employed in the pool
room which was located here. I

The direct cause of the raid was Col.
H. H.. Adams of Greenwich. Mr.
Adams is a member of vaernor Cofin’s
staff. About three weeks ago Mr.
Adams spoke to Governor Coffin in re-
gard to the pool rooms located in
Greenwich. These rooms, said Mr.
Adams, were a source of annoyance to
the residents of the town and of danger
to the young men. Every day there
was an influx of undesirable visitors
and the men who ran the places were
not desirable residents. The local au-
thorities would not attempt to raid the
rooms. for reasons best known to them-
selves. Col. Adams thought that Gov-
ernor Coffin might be able to do some-
thing toward stopping the business.
Mr. Adams was not the only one to
make complaint. Other residents of
Greenwrch spoke to Governor Cofiiu in
reference to the matter.

The complaints were not allowed to
go'unheeded. The first step taken by
Governon Cofliu wet the following
letter which explains itself:

S. P. Thrasher: Sec. Jr. Mgr. L. & 0.

League of Conn.

Dear Sin—Upon representations
made to me that the laws of the state
concerning gaming are being and have
been for several months past violated at

Greenwich in this state and complaint
having been made to me that no steps

are being taken by the local authoring,
I hereby request you to proceed at
once to obtain evidence with .a view
of promptly bringing the violators of
the law to justice. '-
- YOurs truly,

O. VINCENT COFFIN,
Governor of Connecticut.

This letter was rent to Mr. Thrasher
Dec. 23. Within 43 hours the detec-
tives of the Law and Order league had
collected evidence and laid plans for
raiding the pool rooms. =
”The raid was very cleverly planned
and as cleverly execiited. Mr. Thrash.
er president of the league, with nine of
his men, left New Haven Tuesday
night on the steamer for New York.
In New York‘ they met Mr. Hanse,
manager obthe House Detective bu-
reau. Here the matter was discussed
at length and the final preparations
made. Mr. Hanse called into service
nine of his men and these with the
others left New York yesterday after-
noon, en route for Stamford. The train,

the one which carries almost all of the
regular players of the horse races.
