The question of the speakership of the lower house is now in order, and several candidates have al- ready been mentioned from ' this section. ’ Fairfield County, however, should have no candidate, as it is only a short time ago that the honor was conferred upon her. Again, Fair- field County has other fish to fry, which should also preclude her from aspiring to the Speakership. The first candidate in' the field is Frank B. Brandegee, the first rep- resentativaelect from New London. Mr. Brandegee has the united sup- port of his county, which has not had a speaker of the house for some fourteen years. Mr. Brandegee is the only son of Hon. Augustus Bandegee, the old war horse of Republicanism, and it is said that the son is a chip of the old block. If this be true, Fair- field County can make no mistake in supporting Frank B. Brandegee. A ‘ er SCODPED IN. . Said They Were Hatters and From Danbury. ' Saturday evening, Special 'O‘flicer Cockefur, watchman at the Consolidat- ed freight yard, had a lively time with ' three men who claimed to be Danbury hatter Being unable to handle them single- handed he sent for a regular policeman, and Officer Pennington was detailed. They finally landed the men in the station-house where they gave their names as John McNamara, Thomas ‘ Collins and M. J. McNamara. The charge against them on the bio t- ter, this morning, was breach of the peace. ——————————‘0<->0.~————-———— The Gazette Wonders.

Gave his Name as Herman Winters and Dies in the Norwalk Hospital. About 10:30 o’clock last night Chris. Michel, James Ghiotto and Henry Ger- hardt were returning from a visit to friends in Westport, and when on Os- born avenue, their attentions were at- tracted to cries for help proceeding from a point on the railroad tracks not far from the East Norwalk station. They hastened to the point from which the cries emanated and found a man lying beside the tracks evidently the victim of the rail. About the same time Robert Roberts and Samuel Edas arrived on the»scene, having also heard the cries for help. Roberts had a lantern, which proved. of considerable service. The victim was conscious. taken from the tracks and carried up an embankment and laid on the grass. It was discovered that he had suffer! ed a badly mangled left arm, and that his left foot was nearly severed from his leg,- and that the leg was badly lmangled and bones in the same crush~ 'ed.

In the meantime, Doctors Baker and Marshall had been summoned and on their arrival recognized the serious ness of the man’s injuries, and ordered that the ambulance be brought to the scene for the conveyance of the victim to the hospital. A young man named Preece quickly sped to A. Sglman’s stables with Dr. ambulance arrived and the victim was taken to the hospital, where he died shortly after his arrival. The man retained his consciousness during the entire time and up to with- in a few moments of his final dissolu- tion. While his first rescuers were caring for him, they gained the following im- portant information. He said that his name was Herman Winters, that he was 18 years Old, and that his home was 712 East street, Holyoke, Mass. That he was a paper maker by trade and was on his way to Pennsylvania, where he had secured a situation. He also said that his father was dead. He was unable to explain just how his deplorable plight came about. but said that he must have fallen asleep while riding on the bumpers Of the freight train upon which he was “work- ing” a ride to New York. ‘ The remains were taken to Rely- mond’s morgue. A telegram sent to the address given by the deceased elicited the fact that the man had spoken truly as to his home, and that a representative of the family would be here to identify the remains and take charge of them. ——~——‘O.C’_—— The funeral services of Clarina T.

John J. \Villiams is the name of. a slick bicycle thief whom Detective McGrath, Of New Haven, ran down last evening, and to whose accOunt a large proportion of the dozen or more unre- coverecl wheels taken this month may be charged. .Williams was caught red-_ handed last evening. He Offered a wheel for sale at the corner of Water and Franklin streets and while he he was doing it, one of the party, whose suspicions were aroused, rode to police headquarters and notified Detective McGrath. The sleuth reached Williams before the sale had been effected and took him in. The prisoner is an Englishman Of about 21 years and claims to hail from New York. He confessed frankly and seemed rather to enjoy telling about his tricks. He told the detective where to locate four wheels, all of which McGrath found according to di- rections“, and says there are plenty more when he can have a chanCe to think where they are. Williams says he has stolen over 300 wheels in New York, New Jersey and. Connééticiit since last March. He has a “fence ” in New York through which he claims he could put out, 100 wheels a week with perfect ease and safety if he could only arrange to get them out of ton/n without attracting suspicion. He has- never dealt with the pawn shops or second-l’mnd dealers but put out the machines. to individuals. Wil- liams says his “business ”has done him no good, he has spent the money as fast as he got it, and that he is almost glad to have been brought up and stopped in it. ' nA‘. v7 LICENSES GRANTED.

Henry Kirk Woodbridge, son of the warden of the state prison at Wethers- field, is under arrest on the charge of alleged embezzlement of state prison funds. He was arrested in New Haven at the Hotel Garde early Sunday even- ing and later taken to Hartford. Wood- bridge is about 29 years of age, and was clerk in the state prison for upwards of five years until last July, when the directors deemed achange advisable, and he was succeeded by L. W. Bart- lett. The latter gentleman soon dis covered irregularitiesiathe books and reported the fact to the directors, who commenced an investigation. Thus far they have examined the books for two years, and it is stated that they “found upwards of $2,000 had been misappro- priated. Neither Warden Woodbridge nor the prisoner will say anything rela- tive to the affair. It is claimed that he manipulated signed checks left by the warden, and by means of chemicals removed the name of the payee, although little could be learned as to the case. The Weather.
