BOINAY MAY PEACH.
No One But His Prison Guards
Talk to Him.
lfWezks Turns State’s Evidence Boinay
’ Will Turn the Tables.
Frien dless and alone,Charles Boinay,
alleged slayer of Marcus Nichols,whiles
away his time in the Bridgeport jail,
sOmetimes thinking meditatively and
other times talking to his guards.
Not a friend has called to see him
since his incarceration; not even his
wife, whom he trusted implicitly and
on whose account he was made captive,
nor his mother-in-law calls to pay him
a f1 iendly visit. ,
It' 1s said that if Dave Weeks turns
’ state’s evidence and sends his brother-
.in-law to death for the Daniels Farm
crime, Boinay will turn the tables and
send Weeks to the gallows for some
other appalling crime, which they may
have been interested in.
Boinay is a- man of determination
and he will yet make a master stroke
before he commits compulsory suicide
on the automatic gallows at Whethers-
field. ‘

The Street Railway Company’s
Motion for a Reargument
‘ :Betused.
The Supreme Court Decided Against
Double Tracking Main Street.
City Attorney E. M. Lockwood} was
in receipt of a telegram, laSt night,
ndtifying him that the motion of the
Norwalk Street Railway company for a
reargument had been denied by then"
court.
The company’s motion was argued
on Thursday in the Supreme court. ,
The appeal had been before the
court once and error was found and
the judgment reversed.
It will be remembered that the Street
Railway company submitted to the city
a plan for double tracking a portion of
Main street, and the Council refused to
permit. because the street was not
thought wide enough.
An appeal was taken from the deci-
sion of the Council to the Superior
court and Judge Hall' decided against
the city. On the appeal to the SW
preme court this judgment was re-
versed. ‘ I
As the case now stands the Street
Railway company is prohibited from
laying double tracks on Main street.

COUNTY HOME INSPECTED.
Everything About the Place Found in First
Class Order.
County Commissioner Miller visited
the Fairfield county home on the West-
port road yesterday, spending the en
tire day at the institution and making
a most thorough and complete examin-
ation of the building from cellar to at-
tic. - '
Two months ago Miss Phelps, the
former matron, resigned on account of
her ill health, Miss Boughton being
put in charge in her place. Miss Bough-
ton did not particularly desire the po-
sition, feeling that it was an undertak-
ing which she was incapable of hand-
ling as it should be; but upon the earn-
est desile of the commissioners she ac-
cepted. It' Is enough to say that the
commissioners made no mistake ih their
selection.
Commissioner Miller, Thursday, tele-
phoned Dr. A. H. Baldwin of this city,
the visiting physician of the home, that
he Would like to meet him yesterday
and together they would make an ex-
amination of the home-and its inmates.
They met as agreed and beginning at
the cellar; went to the attic and found
everything in the most perfect order
and all the arrangements systematic
and carried out in an agreeable manner
to the children.
The commissione1s have at present
117 children under their charge, 90 of
whom, are at the home. Commissioner
Miller could not say enough in praise
of the new matron and her work since
she took charge.
There is one great fault with the in-
stitution, there is no isolated hospital.
Should measles, chicken pox or any of
those infectious diseases break out,
there is no place where the infected
child could be placed in isolation. Com-
missioner Miller said that a hospital
should be builtat once. The work of
the home is in such good hands and is
of the highest Order of county charities.
Being such it would be a pity if an epi-
demic should gain headway among the
children.
No one, however careful, can avoid
the breaking out, now and again, of the
insidious diseases to which childhood
is prone; but its spread can, by judi-
cious measures,be limited if not entire-
ly stamped out at once.
The Norwalk’s Response
Is always generous to the calls of
suffering humanity. The Hospital
Fair on the 16th and 17th will meet a
hearty response from all who appre-
ciate a legitimate channel through
which any who are sick Or who suffer
may be ministered unto.

A South Norwalk Oysterman
Charged With Having .
Stolen Clams.‘
He is Placed Under Arrest and Furnishes
a.Cash Bond For His-IHeiease.
Yesterday morning Addison H. Mer-
rill, an oyster planter and dealer,
whose :place of business is on Water
‘ street, South Norwalk, complained to
the police that sOme one had stolen
four bushels of clams from his float and
asked that the thief 0r thieves be ap
prehended.
Chief Vollme1 detailed a detective,
on the case with the result that a boat
loaded with clams was found apparent-
ly secreted under the wharf at Hatch,
Bailey &_ Co. ’s lumber wharf. ‘
Mr; Merrill was advised ‘of the dis-.
covery and visiting the place identi-
fied the clams as those he claimed had,
been stolen.
belonged to hIm, he was instructed by
Attorney Taylor to .take them. But
the low tide did not perm-it of his doing
so at the time.
In the meantime a watch was set for
the return of the owner of the boat. A
man who was recognized as Edward
Ayers accompanied by another party
was seen late in the afternoon to go to
the boat and row off. _
Asthey were pulling away Merrill
came up in a boat and demanded the
clams, but .Ayers claimed that they be-
longed to him, and that he had caught
them the night before off Darien, and
refusing to give them up rowed away.
Previous to this Ayers had been ar-
rested on suspicion and had furnished
a cash bond of $25 for his appearance
for trial next Monday morning.
Merrill reported the second disap-
pearance of the clams to the police but»
they were Iihable to locate them. Chief
'Vollmer soon after met Ayers and
asked him what he had done with the
clams. He at first refused to tell but
afterward told the Chief where they
were; and they are now under the care
of the police department.
As to how Mr. Merrill will identify
the clams will probably come out at the
t1 ial Monday morning. He is, how-
ever. positive that the pr operty belongs
to him
The sudden disappearance gives the
afl‘aii a suspicious appearance as against
Ayers. ,
SKIRT SAVED HEB.
Would Have Been Killed it Her Dress Was
Longer.
A fair young woman in a bicycle
skirt created some excitement at the- :
depot this afternoon. She tried pretty
hard to get the engine of the “flyer”
which goes through this city form New
York shortly after 2 o’clock, ~to mash
her. She almost gave the engineer ner-
vous prostration, and- made the crowd of‘
people at the depot dizzy. The young
woman was walking-in the middle of
the east bound track, with her back
to the direction in which an engine
on that track; would come. This would
remind you of the manner in which
most woman get off a trolley car, drive
a horse onsteer a bicycle. The “11 yer”
came around by the elevator just about"
this time. As the “flyer” doesn’t walk,
it was not long before it was chasing
toWard that bicycle skirt at a rapid
gait. When near the gate house at the
lower bridge the engineer began to pull
his whistle cord and to clang the bell.
The noise the Whistle made could be
heard out in the West End, and it fair-
ly shook things at the depot. The fe-
male in the bicycle skirt acted as if she
didn’t intend to pay any attention to
this, she was not in the habit of being
whistled at. The steam scream kept up
until the engine was almost on her. In
answer to warning shouts she looked
around and gave one leap. She cleared
the engine by a hair’s breadth. If she
had worn a long skirt she would surely
have been caught in the machinery, so
there is some good in a short skirt af-
ter all.—-Bridgeport Standard. ‘

A Young Girl lnsulted By Two
"Unknown Men.
The Police Notified and Hake an Unsuc-
cessful Search for the Miscreants.
Florence Lockwood. the 16-year old
daughtier. of Mr. and Mrsthauncey
Lockwood of Chestnut street, received
a scare last night that she will nOt soon
forget..
Shortly afte1 7 o’clock as she was go-
ing through Cross street to her home,
she noticed that she was being fol-
lowed “ by two . men, one of whom
wore a black soft hat and the otherla
black Derby hat.
They made some insulting remarks
to her,’~:~ and she becoming frightened
quickehed her pace to a run and as she
alleges-:they closely purSued her. In
order to avoid them she ran into the
house Of a Mrs. O’Brien near by to
whom she told her story me most h -
teriCal manner.
Later, thinking that the men had
left the vicinity she started for her
home only to find that they had been in
hiding on Chestnut street as if await-
ing her.
She was at the time not far from
home, which she succeeded in reaching
without further misadventure. I
The fellows were seen loitering about
the premises, and the services'of Fred
Scribner were enlisted. He made com—
plaint at the police station and Officer
Bartram went to the scene, but was
unable to locate the fellows.
Some are inclined to the belief that
the whole affair was done to frighten
the girl, even so the perpretrators
are none the less deservingof arrest.
