BEGAN REFUSES TO EAT.
Ridgefield Burglar Vows That No Food
Shall Pass His Lips While He is in Jail.
Sheriif Hawley has a prisoner who
has resolved to starve himself to death
unless he is given his liberty, and he
has not touched a morsel of food since
he was incarcerated in the jail last Mon-
day. He name is Bat Regan. Regan
was captured in Ridgefield last Satur-
day, while attempting to burglarize
the summer home of a wealthy New
Yorker. The coachman, who was in
charge of the house was awakened by
the burglar, and pistol in hand, deter-
mined to capture him. Regan, when
discovered,'fled, but was brought dowu
by a well-directed bullet, which en-
tered one of his shoulders. He was
caught and held for the Superior
court, February term, and "Deputy
Sheriff Powers brought him to jail,
Monday.
Regan has registered a vow that no
food shall pass his lips while he remains
in jail. The jailers take his meals to
him regularly, but they are left un-
touched. The officers have so far been
unable to break his determination.
Sheriff Hawlcy has decided that unless
the prisoner shows a disposition to
take food, he will ask the governor of
the state to appoint a commission to
inquireginto his sanity.

And Now Mrs. Sherwood’s
Slavonian Servant Brings
Suit for Damages.
Mrs. Sherwood Was Fearful of_Any Pos-
sible Contamination.
The inhabitants ,of the little town of
Westport have something. to talk about
now. It is rather sensational and the
majority of the residents are worked
up to a high pitch of excitement.
The centgg of the talk and excite-
ment hovers around the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sherwood, Of
that naturally quiet town. A short
time ago a Slavonian girl, 18 years of
age, by the name of Mary Makowitz,
went to work for Mrs. Sherwood. She
provedi‘to be a good wol'ker and under-
stood housework apparentlv well, but
back of this there was something that
Mrs. Sherwood did not like. "She was
not particular enough about her per-
sonal habits and in some way her head
became infected with vermin.
The hair that adorned the girl’s head
was the talk of the town. It was jet
black and always shown like a bottle.
When loosened it hung over her shoul-
ders in rich folds till it almost touched
the floor. Regardless of this Mrs.
Sherwood did not care to have her
hous‘e‘ infected in the same way and so
compelled the girl to sit in a chair
until she had singed her hair close to
her head.
The girl can speak only a little
English and she did not know what
Mrs. Sherwood intended to do until it
prized locks lying on the floor, she
burst into tears and it was some time
before she could be consoled.
She immediately left the Sherwood
residence and consulted her brother
John. When the latter saw his sister

wood family.
The girl, being a minor, could not
do anything herself, but through her
brother she is bringing suit for $100
damages and also charging Mrs. Sher-
wood with assault. Attorney C. H.
King has been detained as counsel for
the plaintiff and the writ is made 11e-'

case.
An Interesting Woman.
Mrs. H. H. Barroll, who is to speak
at the Central club, Tuesday afternon
at 3:30, upon Japanese Music and the
National Sport—Wrestling, is a most
interesting woman. She has accom-
panied her husband to many distant
lands, and has made excellent use of
the exceptional advantages which came
to her as the wife of an officer in the
United States Navy. She prefers to
speak somewhat imformally and IS most
ve1 satile. She' IS a professional Wiiter
and speaker, but comes to the Centi a1
club because of her interest in club
work, entirely in the line of the ex-
change of club courtesies. The excu-
tive committee of the club has a num—
ber of interesting projects for the De-

The Mayor

read several letters exchanged in refer-
ence to the new Pioneer Hook and
Ladder truck. J
The truck is a Seagrave patent,
built by Gleason & Bailey of Seneca
Falls, N. Y., and sold through the
agency of J. H. Richardson of Provi-
deuce.
Mr. Prowitt said “ The truck is a
failure 1n ever‘y1espect” and explained
in detail the defects.
He said that the patentee had been
here and had promised to have all of
the alleged faults in the apparatus
made good without expense to the city.
He said nothing had been done to that
end, and that he was unable to contract
any business with the agent who sold
the truck. '
Councilman Burr a member of the
committee which purchased the truck
read a letter from agent Richardson in
which Chief Prowitt was unmercifully

Chief Prowitt said, “The truck was
sent here in a shiftless manner.”
Richardson in his letter claimed that
all the trouble originated from sore-
headers, and made the statement that
if matters were not adjusted within a
week he would bring proceedings
against those he claimed had maligned
him.
. “I think the
:ladders ought to be- shipped back and
new ones substituted.” .
Councilman Burr said,
Chief. Prowitt explained the nature
of the repairs needed and gave a black-
smith’s estimate of the cost of making
the ladders safe.
Glover asked as to why it
would not be a good idea to send the
truck back.
Mayor
Councilman Meeker expressed it as
his opinion that it would not be a bad
idea to call in an outside expert to
examine the truck.
After some further discussion, Coun-
cilman Burr made a motion that the
ladders be sent back to the company
and that Chief Prowitt accompany
them and make proper arrangements

Famous Bareback llider
Seeks a Divorce.
Rgported That Her 11.1812 and Ran Off With
a Cuban.
1.! in"
Among those seeking a divorce in
the court at Bridgeport yesterday, was
Emma J. Barlow, one of the Barnum
& Bailey bareback riders.
Mrs. Barlow is a dark eyed woman
whose beautiful face and lovely figure
have been gazed upon by delighted
thousands, as she circled the saw-
dust 11ing in doing her turn at the cir-
cus. She asked for legal separa-
tion on the grounds of desertion, and
came all the way from England to ob-
tain a decree.
Mrs. Barlow’s husband was as noted
in the 1ing as his beautiful wife. He
was a dark, handsome fellow of fierce
passions and a wild disposition.
It was while with the show that he
met and courted his wife, who was the
daughter of one of the oldest employes
of the big show. They» were married
on Nov. 7, 1893. Their married life
lasted just one week.
The fiery husband tired quickly of
his lovely wife and rumo‘f- had it that a
beautiful Cuban was responsible for the
trouble. It is known that after Barlow
left his wife heuwent to Cuba and there
got into a quarrel in which he shot a
woman. He is now said to be in Cali-
fornia with another woman.
