I I The burglars gained an entrance f1 om the 1 car of the building by cutting out a pane of glass, and then turning the catch to the window frame. About 7 o’clock Sunday morning Schmede found thesafe door wide open, everything about the place turned topsy-turvey, and the faucet of the coffee tank turned on and the contents on the floor. Further investigation showed that the burglars had helped themselves to a variety of confectionery and. three dozen ice cream spoons.

Ten Pleasure Seekers Rescued Just in Time. The yacht Princess owned by Andrew Johnson, ofEast N orwalk, with a party of ten on board was struck by a squall near Oyster Bay, L. 1., Sunday after- noon and capsized. ‘ The storm struck the yacht before sail cOuld be taken in and without righting she went over on her side. The accident was witnessed by John D. Crimmins and his guests, Lieut. Ed- ward Martin, of the let U. S. infantry, and Campbell Thompson, a lawyer of New York, who were each in the steam yacht Arline. Lieutenant Martin, threw off his coat and as the Arline came up to one of the drowningmen, he plunged over- board after him. A heavy sea was run- ning, but the lieutenant reached his Laying hold of . him, he swam with him to the Princess, and aided him to a safe hold of the rigging. This done, Lieutenant Martin struck out for another almost exhausted man and bore him to the schooner, repeating the deed until he had placed in safety all who had been swept away from the schooner. Meantime, Mr. Crimmins and. Mr. Thompson had aided inIlower- ing the Arline’s two boats. They were hastily manned and pulled to the cap- sized boat and her crew were taken off and carried tothe Arline. AGAIN ARRESTED. ‘Emn Rosenthall In the Tolls at Bedding for Violation of Liquor Law.

FOUND AFLOAT. A Well Known South Norwalk “Character" Drowned. His Pockets Freighted With Round Clams. Early Sunday morning, the body of Edgar Boughton, of South Norwalk, was found cold in death at the Fritz Olsen float at the East end of Washing- ton street bridge. When discovered one of his hands clutched a broken space in the flooring of the float and his body was swung under the float. Officer Pennington was notified and visiting the scene hefound the body as above stated. Knowing that .Medi— ,cal examiner Burke was ill he sent for Dr. Coburn. Later Dr. W. J. Tracey who is acting for Dr. Burke during the latter’s illness was advised, and the . remains were taken charge of by funeral director 1). W. Raymond and taken to the morgue. Just how the drowning occurred will probably never be known. The vicI- tim was seen on the street as late as one o’clock, apparently under the in- fluence of liquor, but not to an extent that would fully war rant his a1 rest I It IS thought that he visited the float for the purpose of seeming some 1ound clams, with which his pockets and a handkerchief were well filled, and that in the darkness he missed his footing and fell overboard. The deceased was well-known about town, and on account of a deformity was commonly known as “Humpy” Bough- ton. Earlier in life he was Ian assistant at the plumbing and gas-fitting busi- ness, but of late had done little or noth- ing in the way of work, other than oc- casionally going fishing or clamming. The fact of his having at one time engaged in steam-fitting led him to always speak of himself as being an engineer. 0-0 COMMANDER FANTON DEAD. A Former Department Commander of the State G. A. R.
