REGDVERED' A RING.
A SuspiciouEdi-‘Son Arrested
by Officer Hall.

The Fellow Claimed to be a New Britain:

Barber.

Last evening, Officer Hall observed
stranger acting in a suspicious manner
on North Main street, and learned that

‘he was trying to dispose gt a ri'ng for
considerably less than its value. The
officer questioned the fellow and he
was unable to give a reasonable account
for his actions and he was locked up.

On reaching the station-house he
was asked to produce the ring, where-
upon he claimed that he had given it
to the officer, which was not true, and
he was told so. He then said that it
must have dropped from his finger, an-
other lie, as later events proved.

He gave his name as P. J. McCarthy
and said that he belonged in New Brit-
ain and was a barber. First he claimed
that he had the ring in his possession
for over six years, and finally asserted
that he had bought it of a stranger in
Port Chester, N. Y.

Officer Hall remembered that the

' fellow when he arrested him,threw his
hands one side as if to relieve it of

something and it occurred to him that-

it was possible he had with the motion
of his hand thrown the ring away.

As soon as daylight appeared the
officer visited the place where he had
made the arrest and after some search
found the ring. It is a lady’s ring
with a single garnet setting, and. is
believed to have been stolen.

The charge on the police blotter
against .him this morning, was vagran-
cy. He was sentenced to 10 days in
fail by Judge Frost who suspended ex-
ecution of sentence for half an hour,
and it is fair to presume that the fellow
has skipped.

EVAOES THE BLUE LAW.

His Customers Took the Hint and Ordered
the Day Before.

EA hustling young Norwalk merchant
was seen by a friend in West Stamford
on his way ' around taking orders for
goods that he sells here. When the
‘: question of what V effect the Sunday
Blue Law had upon his business he re-
plied that at first he was afraid he
would loose by it, but soon overcame
the difficulty by driving over his Sun-
day route as usual and when a person
asked for ice cream he told them that
he could sell them none unless it had
been ordered the day before. Some
times the customers would understand,
but oftener they would return to the
house and ascertain whether 15 cents
worth had been; ordered the previous
day. They would soon see the point
and return with a dish for the frozen
deliCacy. He thinks his customers are
very well drilled now, so that when he
passes alOng, they run out and ask for
the cream they ordered Saturday.—

MADE ULUNDER.

G. Duff Nichols Thinks New
Canaan Moxey Seizure
Illegal.

Druggist Knox Fined $7 When the Law
Says it Must Not be Less than $|O.

It now appears that the celebrated
New Canaan Moxey seizure made by
Constable Raymond and Grand Juror
Benedict was something of a , blunder
and may never see the higher court.

Mr. Nichols reasons it out that, the
constable having no warrant,the seizure
was illegal. He quotes law to prove that
complaint must be lodged with the
prosecuting agent, E. M. Lockwood of
N orwalk, and that he, and not Grand
Juror Benedict, is the man authorized
by the statute to prosecute. As a
clincher, he quoted the statute to prove
that Justice Silliman could not have
been versed in a legal lore, because he
imposed a fine of $7 and costs. The law,
Mr. Nichols finds, declares that the pen-
alty for a first ofignce of this sort shall
be not less than $10 nor more than $100.
Mr. Nichols is of the opinion that the
case will never reach the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, to which it was appealed,
and that Druggist Knox’s only loss will
be the “moxey” now in the hands of
Constable Raymond, and sealed with
the latter’s seal. There is not so much
in the bottle now as when the seizure
was made, because some of it was spilled
while G.Dulf Nichols was trying to take
it out of Grand Juror Benedict’s posses-
sion.

OFF FOR THE KLONDIKE.

New Canaan Man Sells Out His Business
to Go in Search of Gold.

Charles Smith of New Canaan is pre-

cently the proprietor of Fulton Market.

He Works Wonders.

The Boy Phenomenon is the talk of
the town, and what he Will accomplish
in the way of cures is being widely dis-
cussed and commented upon. He opens
at the Opera House to-night, in his in-
troductory demonstration before a Nor-
walk audience. As the admission is
free there will no doubt be a packed
house.

The Oregonian, referring to a present
exhibition in Portland, says: '

“That the days of miracles have
passed is generally conceded, but many
who witnessed the demonstration at
the Grand last night have reason to
think they have returned, but claims
no supernatural powers whatever. His
power in healing the sick has received
the indorsement of both the pulpit and
the press. The press 'of San Francisco,
after thoroughly investigating his many
wonderful cures, considered them so
phenomenal. To-night at‘the Norwalk
Opera House an opportunity will be
given to witness his demonstrations-
’All on crutch, the sick, deaf, blind and
lame are especially invited to be present
and be cured without charge.

ALL HOMLL HOT!

Oliver Burton Incited to a Use
of His Fists.

He Gives What is Claimed Deserved Chas-
tisement to a Customer.

Oliver Burton, perhaps better known
as “All Hot,” does a thriving business
near the Boston Store corner, after
dark, selling “All hot Frankfurters”
and “Hot coi’n.” His trade oftentimes.
requiring that he dispense his goods
after the hour when ghosts are sup-
posed to come out for an airing.

This was the case last night. Among
his late customers was a young man
,named Clune and two of his friends,
who purchased three ears of corn and
went to the bridge rail to eat it. Instead
of throwing the cobs into the creek,
which. they might have readily done,
they hurled them into the street.

This did not please Burton and he
called to them to pick them up. He, it
is alleged, was greeted with an epithet
unfit to print, and he promptly knocked
Clune down and severely pummeled
him, but not, as Burton claims, until
he, Burton, had been struck by one of
the party.

Officer Bartram appeared on the
scene and later he was joined by Officer
Morehouse who started Clune home.
Shortly after Burton was placed under
arrest and taken to the station house.
This morning he was taken before
Judge Gregory in the Town Court who

day.

It is thought that in the meantime
Clune will also be placed under arrest,
as it claimed that he was really the
aggressor.
