On complaint of the County health officer, prosecuting attorney H. Edgar Ferris issued a warrant for the arrest of Dr. A. H. Baldwin. on the charge of a violatiofi‘ of the law requiring physi— cians to filetcertifi‘catcs of births at the town clerk’s Office the first week of the month succeeding the event. Chief Bradley served the warrant and the good-natured doctor appeared before Judge Gregory, and pleaded guilty and was fined $10 which he paid. And it is said that there are others who are in the same box. It is not be- lieved that in any instance is it a wil- ful attempt to evade the law, but more a result of carelessness. , It will. hOWever, serve as a warning. ,’ The law makes the fine from $10 to $25.

The end Of a long and well spent life came peacefully yesterday afternoon to another Of Norwalk’s most aged and re- spected citizens, in the demise, in her 89th year, of Miss Julia A. Lockwood. She has been in failing health and strength for some time past and now follows closely upon the departure of her brother, the late William B. E. Lockwood. For more than three quar- ters of a century, she has been a prom- inent and central figure in the shifting panorama of N orwalk’s social and relig- ious life. Hers was always a kindly, modest, unobstrusive and dignified character, thus winning the respect and esteem of all who knew her. Miss Lockwood was a lady of an unusual amount of self reliance and fortitude, and always devoted to her home, her church, her, family and her friends. She was .an upright and universally re- spected member of our community, who sprang from an ancient and hon- ‘Orable ancestry, and after an unusually prolonged life, her glorified spirit has gone to God who gave it. “God spoke to her, and so she fell asleep; God spoke to her softly, saying, ‘ BES r.‘ ” A A ‘v' Chiefs to Convene. The National convention of chief fire engineers will be held in New Haven, opening on Tuesday next. There will be an afternoon and evening session on that day. The next day, a duplicate of the same which will, however, include a-carriage ride at 4. p. m. Thursday, there will be no session, the chiefs and others indulging in an excursion on the steamer, C. H. N ortham, followed by a shore dinner. A session Will be held Friday moaning at 9 o’clock, and there will be a parade and review of the New Haven fire department at 12 o’clock." The final session of the convention will take place at 2:30 p- E]. No day has been set for the exhibits, the matter being left at the option of the conven- tion. ' AAA Lucky Mrs. Hyatt. Mrs. Charles T: Hyatt held the lucky coupon that entitled her to the Boston Store pocketbook with the $5 greenback lining, and it was gladly turned over to her in exchange for the Coupon. Mrs. Hyatt was a prize winv ner at Benedicts’ and also. held the number that she exchanged for a bi— cycle at Glovers. AAA Escaped Back Home. The Fellowship club which took an outing on the yacht Jennie V. and a dinner on Long Island, did not succeed in reaching home until 12.10 yesterday morning. “The wind died out and the boat was at the mercy of the tide” is the reasonable excuse offered.

Word came from Long Ridge this morning that for the past two days a searching party has been exploring the woods and blackberry patches for the seen lately in those parts. No trace of him has been found. The people of the Ridge, especially the women, have not yet recovered from the scare. Some of the inhabitants imagine that the fellow may be the Nichols murder- er, but the more sensible onesdlave him down for a demented man, who has probably escaped from some institution. -——-————<O..>‘__-" '———— Another Veteran Gone. Francis Waterbury, aged 54 years, died at the (Soldiers’ Home, Noroton, yesterday. The deceased was a resi- -' dent of Westport for many years, a carpenter by trade and up to a few \months ago, had been in the employ of builder, Thomas Quinlan of that town. Mr. Waterbury enlisted from West- port, in the Eighth Conn. Vols. in 1861, and re-enlisted Dec. 24, 1863. He was wounded in May, 1864, at Fort Darling Va. and was mustered out of service Dec. 1865. He was a member of Me- Donough Post. His remains 'will be taken to Westport to-day, and on Sun- day taken to Weston, and be buried beside his wife. er‘ Small But Sound. The smallest weekly newspaper pub- lished in Connecticut and probably in the world, is published at Sunnyside, Greens Farms, by Florence Jennings. It is a bright witty sheet called “The Cosy Corner.” The first issue was put out August 4, 1896. It is a four page and double column. The size is 2 1-2 inches by 4 inches. It took quite an active part in the late campaign and was thoroughly sound on the money question. ‘ —EASTMAN’S POCKET.

Light. ' Leaves His Plunder and Makes Good His Escape. On his return from dinner-yesterday, William Tammany, law student at the office of Attorney John H. Light, found Somewhat to his surprise that the office door was open, and on going in found a stranger sitting in a chair, as if awaiting his coming. g The “guest” seemed at first as much surprised as was Mr. Tammany, but quickly regained himself, and explained his presence by saying that he was awaiting the return of Architect Knapp who has an office across the hall. The stranger'was affable and polite and pardoned his intrusion, and after a few desultory remarks, bade Mr. Tam- many good morning and went out leav- ing a package on the table. Mr. Tammany then became suspic- ious that all was not right, and on in- vestigation found that a glass in the door to his office had been broken out, which permitted of the lock to the door being sprung and he quickly made up his mind that the visitor was the guilty party. . Further investigation disclosed the fact that the package contained books and that they were the property of At- torney Cuneo and Dr. W. C. Burke, and that they had been purloined from the office of the former. It was also learned that the fellow had visited, the office of DentiSt Warnes, but, finding that gentleman in, excused himself on the pretext of having some dental work and left. ' ‘ "Inthe'meantime the police had been advised but the. fellow evidently scent- ing danger had managed to get out of i sight. . He was described as being about 28 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches in height, peculiar setting of his front. teeth and wore light clothes and a straw hat. He was evidently a sneak thief who had taken the hour when the places he proposed visiting were not occupied. That anything has been stolen from other offices has not been reported to the police. ‘ A A ———Have you tried one of those $1 Fountain Pens at the GAZETTE office?

Yesterday Dr. W. J. Tracey of this city had occasion to call on Dr. J ohnW. Fyfe of Westport. Together, in the latter’s wagon,they were driving along the street, when in turning a corner the vehicle lurched and both rear wheels were dished. The occupants of the ' carriage were thrown out but escaped unharmed, nevertheless presenting a sorry appear- ance with their dust besmirched gar- ments. I The horse made no attempt to run. Another carriage was secured and the two M.

Sidney said that the resemblance was striking, but that she was not the W0- man who was in GreenWich at the time of the Long shooting. A. FEMININE CHAT. China tea bells are very pretty. Daintily-kept hands betoken the lady. The bangle is becoming more con- spicuous. Naturalness is now considered correct in the smart set. If you wish milk to agree with you never drink it hurriedly. Sip 1t and you will not feel a tinge of indigestion. The woman who dons furbelows in which to travel reveals an ignorance Of “les covenances” against which her own good sense ought to prove a barri- er. All sorts of sales are now enticing money from our purses. Very thin foreign note paper is much used by the smart set. Visit a family where there is a baby if you want to listen to conversation restricted to one topic. The feminine and masculine manner Of holding an umbrella is entirely dif- ferent. It really needs a rare devotion to good form to keep one’s gloves on these sticky days. The woman who sews without a thim ble is not the one who does the mend- ' ing for the family. ' nowAvfou. Guider’s‘hall was a scene of much merriment last night when the Daugh- ters of Rebekah from South Norwalk and Stamerd with their friends gath- ered there to enjoy a Clambake.
