Alexander S. Palmer, a ship calker,

the burglars were after.
The house is a two-story cottage with
a kitchen extension in the rear.
About. 1 o’clock Saturday morning
two men climbed upon the low roof of
the kitchen and attempted to gain an
entrance into the house through the
bath room window.
They made considerable noise on the
tin roof which awakened Mrs. Palmer
and she hastily arose and called her
sons sleeping in another room.
The burglars evidently heard her as
they ran to the edge of the roof and
jumped off and hurried to the street
where an open wagon was standing.

James cousins of Taylor avenue, and
Lewis Casey of $0113.11 N orwalk a
young man I who was recently badly
burned by a gasoline explOsion, took
an important part in a runaway on
Van Zandt avenue yesterday afternoon.
They were driving through that
street in a carriage, when their horse
became cantankerous over the ap-
proach of a trolley car, and com-
menced to let fly his hind heels. at the
dashboard of the carriage. The driver
attempted to rein him up but one: of
the lines broke, and the, carriage col-
lided with a telegraph pole and both
cousins and Casey were tumbled into
the street. I
The herse then shot across the Street
and into the front door-yard of a house
occupied by Ezra S. Hall and James H',
Rundle, and continued his mad pace to
the garden, where he in: a crazed man:-
ner attempted to take the carriage be-
tween two plum-trees with the result
that he was freed from the vehic1e.
The animal then wrecked quite a sec
tion of hennery wire netting and then
quietly alloweduhimself to be caught,
and taken home.
Both of the occupants of the carriage
escaped injury. Remarkably enough
the damage to the carriage was not. in
excess of $10, _ and the harness was not
badly damaged. Neither was the gar-
den only to the extentoftwo hills of

FELL OVERBOAHB.
A Man and woman Topple
Oil“ the Pier at Roton
Point.
They Are Rescued by a Newspaper
Reporter.
About 10 o’clock Saturday night, the
pier at Roton Point,-to the ordinary
observer, was deserted, but this was
by no means the fact, as later events
proved.
At about that hour a splash was
heard in the water, and at the same
frantically towards the hotel near by.
They‘were met by Victor W. Ferris
to whom they explained that a man
land woman had fallen overboard.
“Vic” advised them .to continue on
their way and‘secure a rope. In the
succeeded in reaching the man and
woman both of whom were calling for
help.
He managed, being an expert swim-
mer, in keeping both heads above the
water until assistance arrived, and with
theaid, of a rope which he managed in
getting about the victims of the acci
dent, both were pulled ashore.
But for the reporter’s prompt action
both would now probably be fit sub-
jects for the care of an undertaker.
The stories as to how the accident
happened are conflicting and not
worthy of repetition. ,
The names of the rescued were as
given the reporter, Robert Wuerz and
Mrs. Bertha Pooley Koch, of Darien,

Death of Mrs. James E. Elle.
Mrs. James E. Ells died at her home
in Broad River, Saturday, aged 67
years. The maiden name of the
deceased was Fanny M. Sherman. She
accompanied her husband here from
Waterbury several years since, and
won the esteem and friendship of all
with whom she became acquainted.
She was her husband’s helpmeet in
the strictest sense of the word, a'
woman among the ,best of women; a
kindly wife, a loving mother, and. a
neighbor whose loss cannot be easily
filled. Her husband and three chil—
dren survive her.
The funeral services will be held to-
