A So-uth Norwalk Hungarian
Returns From Philadelphia
to Land in Station House.

RESISTANCE IS CHARGED.

His Wife Now Pleads for His Discharge
From Custody.

As long ago as October let, the wife
of John Kerikus swore out a complaint
for the arrest of her husband.

She, at the time, claimed that he not
Only neglected to provide for her and
the children, but that he came home in
an intoxicated condition and acted in a
very abusive manner, going so far as to
strike and roughly use her.

The warrant, at the time, was placed
in‘ths hands of Officer Pennington. He
went to the back door of the Kerikus
home in Whistloville to serve the war-
rant and politely knocked at the door.

As he was admitted he heard the
.' ront door slam, and going outside saw

,I is man skipping out of the yard, and
put chase after him, but did not succeed
in his capture. ‘

The officer then put the yyrit in his
'nside pocket and bided his time, but
Self-convinced that this was not the last
that he would see of Kerikus.

Since then the man’s wife stated to
the police authorities that she had
heard from her husband as being in
Philadelphia, and apparently having
relented asked if she paid the charges of
the original complaint, her husband
could return without fear of arrest.

The answer she received was neither
in the negative or affirmative.

And he came back. Officer Penning. ..

ton with the warrant still in his inside
pocket saw him. Ke‘rikus also saw the
officer at about the same time and made
a dash to get out of reach of the law.

The officer gave chase and this time
succeeded in getting a hand on Kerikus
who was inclined to resist, but to no
purpose.

He was made prisoner and spent the
night in the South Norwalk station
house.

This morning he was taken before
the town court, the charges on the
blotter reading drunkenness and resist-
ance to officer.

The Judge, after listening to the tes—
Lmony, continued the case for one week.

Burglars in Bridgeport.

A bold burglary was perpetrated last
evening shortly after 8 o’clock when the
residence of Stillman Emerson at 171
Barnum avenue, Bridgeport, was en-
tered through a second story window by
means of a ladder. The timely entranCe
of Fred Bosworth, who resides with the
Emerson family, undoubtedly prevent-
edtbe burglar or burglars from mak-
ing a larger haul. They secured but
$6.50 in cash.

 

Refused a Divorce.

Judge George W. Wheeler of the su-
perior court has refused to grant a de-
cree of divorce to Emma J. Barlow, the
circus rider. He asked her counsel to
introduce further evidence in regard
to the alleged desertion of Peter Bar-
low, the husband;- Mrs. Barlow came
from England 'where she was with the
circus in order to secure her liberty.

1.1. WALSH FOR DEFEN'S’E~;~=

Three Young Men Called Upon to'S'tagterEWhere
They Were Saturday Night.

 

The attention of New Canaan people
was attracted during the storm of
Saturday evening to a blaze that illu—
minated. the skies with a double mete—
oric effect.

The blaze was finally located and
proved to be a barn at the rear of the
residence of A. Noble, and known to
many as being near the “old mill” and
at the foot of the hill leading into New
Canaan, on What has been designated
as the Clabbert Hill road.

Every effort was made to save the
barn and its contents, but they were in
the . main destroyed. It is known that
a horse and dog were roasted to death
and that there was a loss of consider-
able other property belonging to Mr.

Noble.
It is stated that Mr. Noble had no in—

surance on his property.

Three young men were placed under
arrest as having set fire to the barn and
Attorney J obn J. Walsh has been en-
gaged to defend them in the Justice
court at New Canaan to-day.

INSTANTLY KILLED.

port, Last Night.

,..L5!4.VY1.’99.C§,F019YI of Bridgeport, aged
25, single and employed in the freight
department of the Consolidated rail-
road, was struck by a Harlem River
freight, west-bound, at the foot of State
street, shortly before 8 o’clock, last
night, and instantly killed. The body
was frightfully mangled. Foley was a
strictly temperate man and there is no
explanation of the accident. He was
considered one of the best Gaelic foot-
ball players in the country.

Memorial Service.

Next Sunday evening in the First
Congregational church in compliance
with the request of Gen. Miles and
other eminent officers of the Army and
Navy, there will be a memorial service

Women’s Relief Corps, soldiers who
served in the war and all interested in
honoring our dead soldiers, are espec-
ially invited. There will be appro-
priate music by the choir and a memo-
rial address by Dr. Noble.

 

Suffered a Hemorrhage.

Charles E. Lockwood, the parcel de
livery man, suflered a hemorrhage at
St. Paul’s church services yesterday
morning, and was taken to a drug-store
where he was subscribed for and later
taken to his home on Westport avenue.
His condition was reported this morn-
ing as being improved.

Struck by a Car.

In attempting to board a moving
Tramway car near the Riverside ceme—
tery last night Edward Voorhees was

Sheriff Hawley Was Present and 'No Mention
Was Made of the Gill Crime.

 

In charge of Detective Cronan and
Matron Hill, Dr. Nancy Guilford ar-
rived in New York Saturday morning,
on the Cunard line steamship Lucania.
Sheriff Hawley and Pinkerton Detec-
ive Hunsdorfer were on the deck wait-
ing for the noted prisoner who led the
police the fastest chase on record. She
was registered. on the passengers’ list
as Mrs. N. Brown, thereby avoiding
much unpleasant notoriety. Her cor-
rect identity was known to but very
few persons aboard the vessel. The
trip was accomplished without the
slightest trouble from the prisoner,
who suffered greatly from seasickness.

Nearly two hours were consumed in
having the baggage examined in New
York and transferred to

evidence of worry upon her matronly
countenance. Without any delay she
was placed in a hack and driven to the
county jail. Sheriff Hawley had the
poor debtor’s room all ready for her
reception and after being comfortably

installed in quarters which she will

. occupy until ‘next February, she was

left to herself. No one was allowed to
see her andbrders to that effect were
left by the sheriff with his assistants.

The prisoner spent a quiet day Sun-
day. She enjoyed a good night’s sleep
but complained of feeling ill from the
sea trip. >

Dr. Nancy’s cell was the scene of a
touching incident Sunday afternoon.
In compliance with an urgent request
from Mrs. Guilford she was allowed to
be visited by Harry Guilford, who also
awaits trial for complicity in the death
of Emma Gill.

parent and after inquiring as to her
health and how she had been treated,
the conversation drifted to family mat-
ters. Sheriff Hawley was present and
did not allow them to talk alone, con-
sequently it is needless to add that no
mention of the crime for whichithey
are held was made.

Eudora Guilford, her daughter, is out
of town. visiting friends and is not
expected home until to-day or to-
morrow. Mrs. Guilford is very anxious
to see her daughter. The case will not
be tried until the February term of the

RUBY--MASTERS.

S. T. Ruby Surprises His Friends by Getting

 

Married.

 

A few months since the wife of Sam-
uel T. Ruby died at her home on Cross
street, since which time or rather up to
within about a week, the management
of the household aflairs has devolved
upon a young daughter of Mr. Ruby,
wh0,lrecognizing the fact that it was
rather more work than she ought to be
called upon to do, coupled with the fact
that there were two grand-children to
care for, decided to secure a house- l
keeper.

He, a‘few days since, found one well
recommended in the person of Mrs.
Elizabeth Masters of Long Island, and
so well pleased was he with her, on
even so short an acquaintance, he
poppedi-the question and the widow was
willingg'to and did say yes.

Saturday evening, Mr. Ruby and
Mrs. Masters, in company with the
former’s son and wife drove to the
Methodist parsonage‘and were united
in marriage by Rev. F. A. Scofield.
Yesterday, in a carriage, they drove to
the several homes of their relatives in
town, and in every instance received
hearty congratulations.

ELEETBILELUBS.

The Norwalk Police Wm
Soon be Carrying This
Latest Novelty.

 

_A REGULAR DARK LANTERN

mun——

Contains 12,000 Flashes and Will Burn'for
Ten Consecutive Hours.

At the special meeting of the Nor-
walk City Council, held last Friday
evening, it was voted to purchase elec-
tric clubs for the police department.
This latest novelty in electricity is a
flashlight which may be carried in the
hand, pocket or anywhere, and be
flashed at will, and has a great number
of possible uses.
. It is made in the shape of a roll,
leather covered, about eight or ten
inches long and an inch and a half in i
diameter. In one end is a dry battery,
and in the other end is a small incan-
descent light globe. The end of the
instrument is closed .by a thick glass
like that in a dark lantern.

The battery is supposed to contain
power for 12,000 flashes or will burn
continuously for ten hours.

The policemen can flash 8. light with
the least possible efiort. It. will
be very valuable in entering a building
when there was a suspicion of escaping
gas, for it cannot be set afire or explod-
ed by this light. It is called the Ever
Ready Safety Pocket Light.

it a most handy article, if fitted with a.
ruby colored glass, instead of the plain
glass, to use in a dark room.

AMUSEMENTS. .

The California Minstrels.

Notwithstanding the rain Saturday
night, the California Minstrels drew
good houses both afternoon and even-
ing at Hoyt’s Theatre. The company
is composed of many old time minstrels
and they gave an exceptionally good
performance. The singing was extra
good, and the Barlow Bros. kept the
audience in a continual roar of laugh-
ter. Billy Arlington showed all of his
old time vigor, while William Henry
Rice as “Lady Louise” was “out of
sight.” All in all the company is an
excellent one and should have a suc~
cessful season.

 

 

Men of Weakened Power, Exhausted Vigor.

Weak men suffering from nervous
debility, weakened power and exhaust—
ed v1gor, can now take new hope. Dr.

plaint so plainly that you will under-
stand exactly what ails yo'ii. Write to
him at once and get back your strength
and vigor.
