And Dan Hanlon Landed in the Lockup Satur- day Night. .Cartcd to “Hotel Howard” in a Grocery 7 t Wagon. After remaining quiet for some time, the notorious Dan Hanlon broke out again about 8:30 o’clock Saturday night. He filled himself with fire water and journeyed up Main street entertaining the store keepers and. pedestrians on the way with songs. Near Raymond d: Son’s store he met Henry Degan, with whom he soon picked a quarrel and ended by knock- ing Degan down. . Officer Morehouse appeared on the scene and ordered Dan to get Off the streets. Several of his gang who were with him, succeeded in getting him quiet and started down Main street. When near Bailwitz’s store Dan made another stop and wanted to continue his drunken antics. Chief Bradley was up Main street and saw Hanlon and his gang on the Oppo- site side. He crossed over and ordered Hanlon’s friends to take him away and get him off the streets else he would look him up. Hanlon, as usual, showed fight, and throwing his two companions one side he made for the big Chief, to do him 11 . pHere is where Daniel made the greatest mistake of his life. Before he could strike, the Chief caught Dan in a vice-like grip and started with him for the lockup, Officer Morehouse running to his assistance and taking one of his arms. I ' They had gone but a short distance when Hanlon got one arm free and turning around dealt Officer Morehouse a vicious kick, at the same time attempt— ing to strike the Chief. The latter be- ing without a club, Officer Morehouse let go with his night stick and struck Hanlon two Vor'three hard ones over the head.This had no effect on the brute, who closed with the Chief and attempt- ed to throw him, but the Chief was too much for him and Dan was soon landed on his back on the sidewalk with the Chief on top of him. His arms were forced over his head and officer Morehouse put the hand- cuffs on while the Chief held him. While on the ground Hanlon at- tempted to bite the Chief on the arm, but only succeeded in getting his mouth full of the heavy overcoat which the Chief wore. . As soon as he was handcuffed the officers picked him up and threw him into Bailwilz's grocery wagon and carted him to the lockup and placed him in a cell where he remained over Sunday. ‘ This morning Judge Hubbell fined him $20 for being intoxicated, $25 for breach Of the peace, and $50 and 15 days in jail for resistance to the officers. Attorney Walsh representing the ac— cused took an append and Patrick Han- lon qualified in the sum of $200 for the appearance of Mr. Hanlon for trial be- fore the Superior Court. BISHOP WILLIAMS ILL.

Chief Vollmer and His Officers Visit the Restaurant of ' John Filsinger on North Main Street. Wine,Beer and Cider Found on the Premises. It is quite evident that Chief of P0- lice Vollmer does not intend to have illegal liquor selling ANNIE! on in South Norwalk if he can prevent it. At 2 o’clock Sunday morning the Chief with Captain Gladstone and Of- ficer Hall, visited the restaurant of John Filsinger at No. 32 North Main street, where it was reported liquor was being sold without a license. Armed with a search warrant the offi- cers soon brought forth a demijohn of port wine, four cases of lager beer and a barrel of cider, which were confiscated and removed to police headquarters. Filsinger informed the Chief that the wine was of his own make, which state- ment the officer doubted, and that the cider was sold only by the gallon. This last statement, however, was contradicted by Mrs. Filsinger, who stated that the cider was purchased and kept for the boarders. Filsinger was placed under arrest and ordered to appear at court this morn- ing to answer to the charge of selling liquor without a license. Filsinger appeared before Judge, Frost in the town court this morning and pleaded guilty to the charge of keeping aplace where it was reputed that intoxicating liquors were sold without a license and was fined $20 and costs. § wnsssis SADIANA?

Robbins last evening at the First Baptist church, as he rose to preach the 3rd Sermon in the “Series of Living Sayings of the Cross.” The Subject was, “The Sacred Trust” or,The Disciple which Jesus loved. These Sermons are increasing in power and interest as' was made evident by the rapt ‘ attention and manifest sympathy of the Congregation. Anotable feature was the preaching by Mr. Robbins from “Ian MacLaren’s” “Beside the Bonny Brier Bush.” The selection was part of the last chapter relating to the start of good old. Dr. MacLaren; illustrates the fixedness of a Mother’s love. The audience was moved to tears at the beautiful rendering. The music by the Choir and Male quartette was excellent.

Rood as published in these columns Saturday, he was non-commit- tal to a reporter, this morning, other than to say “You wait and see.” Mr. Selleck’s side of the story will probably appear in one of the local journals to- day, with a_ perhaps -“I guess we can settle it.” And the end is notyet.

A Grove Street Residence in South Norwalk Visited. The Family Away at the Time. Charles H. Adams and family live at ‘No. 4 Grove street,’ South Norwalk. The family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Adams and two children, Bertha and Clifford Adams,all of whom were away in the evening, leaving the home prac- tically deserted. ' _ Miss Bertha Adams returned home first in company ‘with a lady friend, Miss Edythe Gates,and on going into the house had her attention attracted to a lamp which was lighted on the dining- room table, the blaze from which was flaring up and smoking the chimney. Soon after she discovered a door at the rear of the house open and a pane of glass in a window frame broken. Becoming satisfied that the house had been visited by burglars, she im- mediately notified a ,neighbor, Mrs. Paul, andJames Paul who‘was at home lost no time in advising the police. ' The family had not been absent from the house only from 7:30 up to the time that the robbery was first discovered at 8:30 o’clock. It was found that the burglars had gained an entrance through a window in the rear of the house by breaking out a pane of glass and turning the window-catch. They had lighted a lamp, the one found burning by Miss Adams, and vis- ited the different rooms in the house, all of which they thoroughly ransacked. Mr.-Adams reports that about $50 in money is .giissiug together with two watches 3nd chains, three gold rings, one of them Mrs. Adams’ wedding ring, severai breast-pins and other jewelry. One 011th!) watches belonged to‘ - cle Joh'n'Remlon,father of Mrs. Adams. It waij seen that an attempt had been made to break open Mr. Adams’ desk at one end-Of which was a small satchel containin papers belonging to the state , council; . fix-Myofwhich Mr. Adams is secretary. The satchel was ripped open but the contents were not disturb- ed. ' ‘ As before stated the burglar or burg- lars left by arear door and are now probably “injoying”the fruit of their visit. It is much in evidence that they were aware of the family’s absence. The police have a slight clue which per- haps may lead to the arrest of the guilty parties. . Divorced. Mrs. Elizabeth M.‘ Bissell formerly of this city has secured a divorce in Chi- cago, from her husband Henry S. Bis- sell. Mr. Bissell is not at present in this country. Both parties are well known'in Norwalk, and Mrs. Bissell will it is expected visit Norwalk this week. Just what the grounds were up- on which the divorce was secured are not yet made public. Application Withdrawn. The application of the Shelton Street Railway Company to build to Bridge- port was withdrawn from court yes-ter- day, but the fight is not at an end. At- torney Stoddard, for the Consolidated Road, opposed the application. .~ AMUSEMENTS. Sowing the Wind. _ “Sowing the Wind” will be the at- traction at Hoyt’s Theatre, Saturday, March 27. When this play was last pre- sented here it scored emphatic success, but upon its forthcoming production it should elicit more attention than ever, as the company now contains = at least half a dozen of the original play- ers, who, for the past three yeai's, have created nothing less than a bona fide sensation in all the principal cities of this country. The cast .of the lastten- gagement constituted the road organi- zation. but now we are to see the veri- table No. 1 company, and the only one at present appearing in this drama. The engagement will undoubtedly con- stitute the notable dramatic event of the season. McCarthy's Mishaps. A full house greeted “McCarthy’s Mishaps” at Hoyt’s Theatre Saturday afternoon and evening. The play was a comical farce which kept the large audience in a continual roar. Barney Ferguson as Dennis McCarthy, was the bright particular star and his ”comical antics produced roars of laughter. The audience enjoyed the play as was evinced by the unstinted applause, and the company assisting McCarthy was an excellent one. ‘ r-Advertise in THE GAZETTE. ‘ l HERE AND THERE.
