Cone 1 THE LVLNING GAZETTE HELPED HIMSELF. Twenty Dollars WStolen from Brewer & Worden’ 3 Safe. 1 .—-.__._ The Theft Committed by a Young Colored Boy. Chief Bradley, this morning, placed under arrest a colored lad named Ecl- ward Townsend. The youngster was wanted for the theft of two $10 bills from the safe at Brower & Worden’s feed store on Main street. During the temporary absence at the back end of the store Of Mr. Worden the boy opened the safe and abstracted the money, but in his haste he failed to close the safe door. Mr. Worden on his return noticed that the safe was open and becoming suspicious that all was not right, inves- tigated with the result that he found the money missing. As the only one in the store at the time was the lad TOWDSBDQJIB was satis- fied that it was he who had taken the money. Chief Bradley was advised of the transaction and found the boy play- ing ball on Union place. He accused him of the theft, which the boy at first stoutly denied. He had a dollar in his pocket which he claimed his mother had given him. .Later he confessed to the theft and told where he had, hidden the balance of the money at his home. He said that he had gotten change for one of the bills at the Central Na- tional bank. I It is understood that neither Mr. Brower or Mr. TVorden care to fipros— ecute the youngster. ._———-————<e.o)——-————- D1VDRCED. Two Norwalk Women} Separate frcm He 1' Husbands. Edith Taylor, of Norwalk, yesterday petitioned for a divorce from Clarence R. Taylor on the ground of desertion. The plaintiff is the mother of one child, aged four years. The court gave her a decree and the custody of the child. She was married to Taylor on June 7, 1893. Sarah M. Conners, at other Norwalk woman Of more than middle age, was divorced from Silas Connors of Brook- field. She was married April 27, 1890, quite late in life, and lived a varied existence until her husband left her. She testified that he was drunk most Of the time. He left her once, but came back again promising to reform. But he didn’t and things went on in the same old way until they separated. They went to Brookfield to live but he was drunk all the time. She left him in August 1891 because he tried to kill her one day while he was drunk. A ‘ ‘vr Wilton. F. S. Banks has greatly improved the ground in front of his residence. Mrs. John L.

The young people of St. Joseph’s church held a largely attended and greatly enjoyed reception at Music hall last evening. Good music, good dancing and a good lot Of pleasure, was the verdict of all present. 44__ V- 7 Were Disappointed. A large number of the teachers and pupils of the South Norwalkechools went to \Vilson Point yesterday, ex- pecting to see the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius. Of course they were disap- pointed. The source of information to the effect that the cruiser would be there was as unreliable as usual. How- ever, the visitors viewed the spot where turned home. she might have been, and sadly re- 1 The Nashville Fired a Shot at a Spanish Merohautman. SPANIARD SURRENDERED the Vessel Hadn Cargo of Lumber Aboard and Was on Her “’ay from a Mississip— pi Port When She Fell in with the American Fleet—Wan of One Thousand Tons Burden. Key West, Fla., April 23.—The first capture of the war was made by the cruiser Nashville south of here yes- terday. The prize is the Spanish steam- ed Buena Ventura, of about 1,000 tons. which sailed recently from Pascagonia, Miss, for Rotterdam, loaded with lum- oer. The Buena. Ventura. was sighted by :he American squadron while it was on its way to Key West yesterday morn— ing. The Nashville, a fleet gunboa't, de- tached herself from the squadron and started full speed for theyessel. A moment later a gun was fired from the port battery of the Nashville, the shot striking the water a. few hundred yards away. The Spaniard at this time was half a mile from the Nashville, and she held her way, making no sign of having given the shot any attention. For two minutes the Nashville continued the chase, and then tried another shot that passed apparently within a. rod of the Spaniard’s bow. The Officer on the Spaniard’s bridge - at once reversed her engines while a Man ran aft and hastily lowered her 'flag. At this the Nashville brought alongside the Spaniard, having every gun, big and little, in the starboard broadside pointed at her. Then a whale-boat was lowered, and Ensign Magruder, wih a boarding crew of six men, was sent and took charge of the prize. The torpedo boat Foote had run down in the wake of the Nash— ville, and brought to beside the Buena Ventura. Ensign Magruder took charge of the Spaniards papers and serrt a report regarding them to the Nashville, whence they were sent to the flag- ship by the torpedo boat Foote. The flagship, with the battle ships, had been lying to during‘thls time, and soon after this a. number of guns were fired from the New York, the object of which was not apparent to the news- paper dispatch boats. However, the torpedo boat Foo'te, after tarrying briefly at the flagship, returned to the Nashville. She brought orders that the Buena Ventura. was to be held and sulfur min- utes later the Nashville headed toward Key West and uas followed by the Buena Ventura. As the Buena Ventura lay awaiting orders from Rear Admiral Sampson her crew hung listlessly over the rail gr walked about her deck and gazed at their capturers. Two Spanish officers were on the bridge most of the time, but one, apparently the captain, went to and fro from bridge tO‘ deck-and down below. , An American sailor had the wheel. Another stood on .the bridge near En- sign Magruder and another guarded the main deck. The sailors carried muskets and Ensign Magruder had side arms. ‘ The sailors on the bridge and at the wheel had bayonets in their belts, and the men on the deck kept muskets in their hands.‘ One of those on deck was seen to examine his musket lock occa- sionally and handle the weapon care- lessly at frequent intervals. The crew on the Nashville and the Foote, and the prize crew were entirely self-contained duringr the time they were waiting to start for port. NO demonstrations Of joy or exultation were seen. THE CAPTURE lS LEGAL. Usual Course of Procedure in Case of a Blockade. Washington, April 23.—State Depart— ment authorities are convinced that the legalityin international law Of the act of Commander Maynard, of the Nash- ville, in seizing the Spanish merchant- man, Buena Ventura. seventeen miles southwest of Key West cannot be questioned, Senor Gullon's note to Min- ister Woodford having explicitly stated that Spain considered a. state Of war already existed. NO other formal notification is re- quired after that statement of the Span— ish Minister. Any United States vessel meeting a Spanish vessel on 'the high seas is fully competent to fire upon and capture her if she can. When Secretary Long was told that shots had been fired across the Span- iard’s bows, he said: “Well. that is the usual course of procedure in case of :1 blockade.” Prize \Vorth $500,000. The Buena Ventura, with her cargo, is worth, it is estimated, $500,000. To dispose of her as a war prize she will have to be condemned in the United States District Court. After the Court decides that she was a legitimate prize she will be sold at auction. One-half of her value will go to the Government direct and the other half to the men who captured the prize. in the following proportions: One-twen- tieth to commander of the fleet; one- hundredth to. the fleet captain; the re— mainder to the Nashville men and of- ficers—one-ienth to commander of the gunboat, and the remainder to the men and Officers, according lto their rate of pay. Something will go to the naval vessel within signal distance at the time of the capture. wen- The Gracia Reported Taken. TVashington, April 23.—The Spanish vessel Gracia, which loaded at Pensa- cola. with supplies and a. number Of army mules for the Spanish forces in Cuba, is supposed to have been captured by the vessels of the North Atlantic squadron. Navy officers think that she left Pensacola Thursday, although they have no information on the subject. Un— less she got away very early, her at- tempt to reach Havana was probably frustrated by the American blockading squadron. ‘Vii‘e Murderer Hanged. Chicago, April 23. —Chris Merry, the wife murderer, was hanged yesterday. In November last. after a trivial quar— rel, Merry kicked and beat his wife, breaking nearly every bone in her body. Then he sat down and watched her dy— ing struggles. . . AMUSEMENTSTF The Crane Players. The Crane Players presented East Lynne at Hoyt’s Theatre last 6 vening.

REC0VERYL1 New York Man Declares His Life Has Been Saved by Dr. David _’Kennedy s Favorite Remedy. _— Every Reader of This Paper May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free. Post Paid, by flail. REM—ARKABLE Kidney, Urinary, Bladder and Liver Diseases can be cured, no matter if they are of long standing and have a deep foothold. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedycures them. If any one doubts, let him read the followm g remarkable statement, which is certain and convincing proof, fresh from the lips of T. J. Manser,whose sufferings have been simply terrible. Mr. Mauser is a Prohibitionist who stands high in the councils of his party, having been a candidate on the Prohibition ticket for As- semblyman and Congress- man. He is head of the firm . , of T. J. Manser& Son, plain and ornamental plasterers, No. . 769 Ninth Avenue, New York City. ' ' He says: “For seven years I have suffered from the worst form of urinary trouble, enduring pains which words cannot describe. It. was next to impossible to hold my urine back, and it passed involuntarily with a burning, scalding pain. I was slowly dying. I tried four doctors, but - they simply aggravated the disease. I became so weak that my business was neglected, and it seemed I would soon have to give it u .The doctors said my temperate habits enable me to live as long as I have. Recently I eew an advertisement of Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, and decided to try it. Relief was almost instantaneous. Although I have not yet taken a. bottle, I feel I have a new lease of life. I can truly say my life has been saved. by Favorite Remedy, and most willingly consent that this be published for the benefit of others. " (Signed) T. J. Masses. A sure test. to determine if the Kidney or Urinary organs are diseased is to put some urine in a glass tumbler and let it stand twenty-four hours. (See the illustration in this adver-. -4 tisement.) A sediment or powder—like substance at the bottom, and a cloudy or milky condition, are unfailing signs. Other certain symptoms are pains in the small of the back; the staining of linen when urine touches it; frequent desire to urinate, especially at night; scalding pain in passing water, and inability to retain the urine in the bladder. Favorite Remedy overcomes all these troubles when nothing else will. It corrects the bad effects on the Kidney and Liver of whiskey and beer, and has cured thousands of the most distressing cases when the attending physician had given up hope. Our wives and daughters are too often treated for what is commonly termed “female , ' ' trouble” by their home doctor, when, if a correct diagnosis of their condition were made, Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy would be prescribed as the medicine that will surely make them well. Sold by all druggists at $1. 00 for large size bottle, or six bottles for $5. 00. This great Kidney medicine can be tried for sample Boule Free- nothing. Send name and address to the D11.
