PRTCE ONFCENT llVELY SGRENMAG‘E. Tolles’ Wharf the Scene of a Sunday .Fight. Two Canal-Boat Captains Landed in the ' Station House at South Norwalk. One of the most disgraceful fights of the season occurred at Tolles’ wharf in South N orwalk, late Sunday afternoon. It resulted in the arrest of canal boat captains George McGee and E. E. Johnson, and an one armed'man named Jacob Wolfinger. The charge on the blotter against the two formerlawas drunkenness and breach of the peace, and the latter simply drunkenness. ”A man named George Mills made the acquaintance of the two captains and was invited into the cabin of one Of the canal boats. All indulged in ’ liquor procured at some convenient place, to the extent that they became intoxicated. Their hilarity wasshared in by two women who claim to be the wives of the two captains: Later there was a scrimmage in the cabin of the boat in which Mills got the worst of it and was unceremonious- ly rustled ashore. By this time quite a crowd 'had gathered 0n the wharf. two captains followed Mills ashore, ohe it is claimed armed with a hatchet and Unwisely the the other with a section of a plank. Mills was pretty roughly handled un- til some of his friends came to. his as-' sistance. In the meantime Chief Vollmer had been notified of the fight and in com- pany with another officer visited the scene .and the above named parties vpjth the exception of 'Mills, placed under arrest, it being clearly were shown that they were the aggressors. They were haled before the town court this morning, and sentenced as follows: Jacob Wolfinger $5, sentence suspend- ed; George McGee $7 and costs, paid up; E. E. Johnson $7 and costs, paid up. ' It is stated that the accused treated a. man named Carew to a similar if not worse experience on Saturday. I -0»- A BEAUTIFUL DRIVE The Ladies Start This Morning to Visit _Historical Spots.

[ill STOVE FIR-.Ell Prompt Action of a Woman Saves Destruction of £9 ' ' _a Building. Damage Done Not in Excess of'$50. What might have resulted in a sari ious fire occurred at the home of Jesse Colwell, on Summer street, Saturday afternoon. In some way an oil stove which Mrs. Colwell had lighted became ignited on thé outside and threatened an explo- SlOi‘. With a presence of mind, Mrs- Colwell, with a warning to her little 2- year old child to keep away, picked 11p the stove and threw it out of doors. The flames from the stove, neverthe- less, communicated with the house, but by prompt application of water a fire was averted. One side of the building, badly scorch~ ed from cellar to eaves marks the course of the fire. No fire alarm was sent in as those persons present were fully, as after events proved, capable of coping with the situation. ‘- Another Call. Rev.
