The village of Sandy Hook was
thrown in a state of great excitement
early Saturday morning by the chase
and capture of two burglars. Michael
Lypch watchman at the general store
q Warner, Taylor & Clark discovered
two men in an attempt to burglarize
the store. Lynch was aroused by the
ringing of the burglar alarm and seeing
the two men, he quietly slipped out of
the back door and summoned assist-.
ance. Edward Taylor and Samuel Hull
were the first to respond .to Lynch’s
call for help. Both men came out,
armed with shotguns and seeing that
the burglars were trying. to make their
escape, fired a volley at them to bring
them to. The burglars returned the
fire when the “pursuer's fired another
volley.

This took effect and one of the burg-
lars fell in his tracks. The man gave
his name as Frank Wilcox.

to Bridgeport, on the noon train and
ledged in the county jail. Wilcox’s

“The Rising Generation.”

favorite eccentric comedian, will pre-
sent his famous comedy, “The Rising
Generation.” The plot of the play
deals With two sets of personages——the
McShanes, from the humble walks of
life, the VanTykes, from highsociety.
It tells an interesting Story of the pos-

sibility of a hard working man climb-'

ing to the heights of affluence, if he
only has an indomitable will, and a
faculty fOI appreciating the value of
money, and putting it to its right use.

ing comedian, “Joe” Ott, in his famous

tended introductory encomiums. For
his present season he is credited with
having surrounded himself with a com-
pany of comedians far and away supe-
rior to any he has yet offered. “The
Star Gazer,” with everything new and
up-to-date, including a host of pretty
girls, comes to Hoyt’s Theatre, Friday

NORWALK CALLED DOWN.

Dumped a Dependent Upon Bridgeport
When They Should Have Sent
. Him to Hartford.

The selectmen of Nofiwalk received a
quiet calling down this morning by the
local authorities for sending to this
city a stranger who should have been
sent to Hartford where he belonged.
The stranger came to the local authori-
ties to-day and said he was unable to
reach his home in Hartford,and that he
had been sent here by the authorities in
N orwalk. The law says explicitly that
the selectmen Of any town wherea per-
son applies for assistance shall send
the person to his destingtIOn, and the
charge be made to the state. Instead
of this, the Norwalk people dumped
him on Bridgeport.

.This is an old dodge of several of the
Connecticut towns, but it . is getting
played out. The Stranger’s'story being
verified, the selectmen of N Oigyalk were
told that if in the future they repeated
the performance they would be made to
suffer. The stranger was sent to his

'home as he is in a bad way—Bridge-

port Farmer.

WHEN FIRE BELL RINGS.

Norwalk People Pull Their Watches Out
and Make Expense.

 

i

The followmg paragraph from the
Hartford Courant applies to Norwalk,
as well as to the capital city:

If this city has 80,000 inhabitants,
then probably not less than 25,000 have
watches in their vest pockets. It is a
low estimate that 15,000 of these pull
out their watches to see if they are
right every noon when the fire bell
rings. What’s the WClI‘ and tear on a
vest pocket, involved in thusfi'drawing

insignificant, but the combined atten-
tions to 15,000 watches are equivalent
to hauling one watch to and fro without
interruption, for forty-eight hours.
That would wear out several vest pock-
ets; and that proves that every time
the fire bellwrings masculine wearing
apparel suffers serious depreciation and
the cause of new clothes gets a lift.
