Gift of the Czar of Russia to Greek Church in Bridgeport. SUIT T0 RECOVER $3,000. Gangress, by a Special Law, Allowed the Chimes to Come in, Free of Duty. BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 22.—The chimes which were sent to this country by the czar of Russia to the local Russian -church, were placed under attachment yesterday, in a suit brought by Charles H. Hawley, of this city against the Holy Ghost Russian Orthodox Greek Catho- lic society and ecclesiastical corpora- tion, which is the legal name of the Russian-Greek church located at the corner of Jane and Hallett streets. The action is brought to recover $3,000 on a. note given the plaintiff by George Cservenyah, Michael Krafisik and George Katreniss, as trustees of the church. The note was indorsed by Michael Makara and John Robstock, members of the church, and was given on Feb. 17 of the present year. The sheriff not only attached the property owned by the church, but also placed an attachment upon the chimes which the church received from Rus- sia. A keeper has been placed in charge of the bells and they will re- main in his keeping until the claim is The bells were brought to this country a settled, or a suitable bond given. year ago, and through the efforts of Congressman Hill, a special act was passed in congress admitting them to this country free of duty.

Now they will be held in restraint until the suit is settled. If they are not redeemed, they may be sold at auction, but it is probable that the suit will be settled and the chimes restored to the Custody of the church. Hurdley-Warren.

Members of a Water Street Gang Gathered in by the Police. MOREARRESTS TO FOLLOW One of the Gang lumps From a Boat and Lands on His Head. Considerable . complaint having reached the police headquarters, at South N orwalk, of the doings ofa gang of young men in the vicinity of the steamboat wharf, Chief Vollmer or- dered his men to make a raid. Officers were detailed for the duty and arranged themselves about the pier in such a manner that their would be prisoners could hardly escape unless by jumping into the creek. Previously when only one officer had visited the scene it was comparatively easy for members of the gang to avoid arrest. - It was a surprise party for them last cells at the station-house, three mem- bers of the gang were exchanging views as to just how the thinghappened. It was learned that two of the men wanted were in hiding on the upper deck of the propeller City of Norwalk. One of the officers went aboard the boat, while the. others guarded any “ port hole ” of escape that might have previously suggested itself to members of the gang. Suddenly a young man was seen to dart out from under one of the life- boats on the propeller and leap for the pier. Unfortunately for himself, he was too hasty in his jump and landed on his head. A policeman was there awaiting him and did excellent service in restoring him to consciousness. There is yet some doubt as to which was the greater surprised, the policeman or the victim. Later when 'all were locked up in the station house they were found to be Riley Ghiotto, Henry Schultz and Paul J ones. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of twice as many more, as it is proposed to break up the) gang which has been a menace to life and property in that section for a long time. misdeeds charged against them is that of an assault on A. Harris, the knOcking down and beating of an East Norwalk butcher, an assault with rocks and fists on Stephen Far- rington, an assault on Edward Hayes, and other similar crimes, too numerous Among “other to mention. It is expected that they will receive merited punishment. ‘ In the town court this morning the case was continued until 3 o’clock. The Gazette Wonders. If consolidation is not being badly handicapped by its chief fugleman. I! Why Norwalk don’t wake up and experience a business reward. If the Thanksgiving turkey is begin- ning to roost high. Why the mud is not removed from West avenue before cold weather sets in. If thePioneer boys had a good time last night. ‘- 7 Theatre Party. A theatre party composed of Mr. and Miss May D.

Wants to Meet Mrs. Dr. Guilford, the alleged Slayer of His Daughter. SOUTHINGTON, Nov. 22. ——The arrival of Dr. Nancy Guilford in this country, as reported Saturday, has caused Harry Gill, the father of Emma Gill, Dr. Nancy’s supposed victim, to inquire about the chances of his being allowed to meet the noted doctress. ' He says that since Dr. Guilford’s ar- rival he “has had a strong desif'e to meet her, that he might satisfy himself as to some things pertaining to his dead daughter’s last days. _ Mr. Gill has relatives in Bridgeport, and will go there for a two or three days’ visit, hoping that he may be per- mitted to talk with her, who alone can tell him of his daughter Emma’s last days. Mr. Gill’s desire to meet Dr. Nancy is not that natural to most outraged fathers. He has always enjoyed the respect of his fellow men and since the news of his daughter’s terrible end reached him he has carried himself in such a manner as not only to gain the sympathy of all, but their respect as well. Mr. Gill will request State’sAttorney Fessenden for permission to meet Dr. Nancy, should Sheriff Hawley refuse. AOMUSEMENTS, The Tarrytown Widow. The big farce-comedy success “The Tarrytown Widow ” will be the attrac- tion at Hoyt’s Theatre on Saturday evening next. On this occasion there will be a special matinee and a gala night performance. It seems almost unnecessary at this late date to add any favorable comment to this already pop- ular farce, which has so far stood the test of three long seasons, last season there being two separate companies playing the piece in different parts of the United States. This much may be added in the favor of this sterling at- traction, however. Since its last ap- pearance in this section of the country there have been introduced in the play many new incidents and catchy original musical specialties, the whole to be produced by a company ,pf unusual ex- cellence headed by the talented come- dian, Otis B. Thayer who will play the leading comedy role. Matinee price 15, 25 and 50 cents. 4 .‘ Norwalkers Will Attend. The marriage of Contractor John J.

WAS PAIN'FUL MEETING. The Daughter Wept, But Dr. Nancy Made No Outward Demonstration. BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 22.—E udora Guil- ford returned-to this city, yesterday, after a brief visit with out of town friends. She at once went to the county jail, where, in the presence of Sheriff Hawley, she was allowed to converse, withher mother, Mrs. Nancy Guilford. The meeting under such circumstances, was very painful to the young woman and she could not restrain the tears which rushed down her pretty cheeks. Mrs. Guilford showed signs ,of emo- tion but her wonderful nerve power prevented her from making any out- ward demonstration Of the worry and remorse that might have existed with- in her. At the conclusion of the con- versation, MissEudora departedwith her handkerchief to her eyes, and promised to call again soon. i The third day in jail found the much hunted prisoner in an improved form. She seemed to have overcome the sea- sickness which attended her return trip and the improvement in her appe- tite was marked, To the attendants she conversed considerably until her daughter arrived. When the sad meet- ing was over, Mrs. Guilford was re- served for the remainder of the-day. Attorney J. B. Klein, Mrs. Guilford’s counsel, says that the question of bail will he immediately connsidered. He is not‘confident that he can come to an agreement with State’s Attorney Fes- senden, but says that possibly the court will be called upon to fix the bail. He can not tell when a hearing for this purpose will be held. Gounode Redemption. tion will be sung to—night by St. Paul’s choir, at the chapel on Berkeley street at 7:45 o’clock. This beautiful work was considered by Gounod his master- piece, and consists of magnificent cho- ruses.

Whittman, of Philadelphia, who is a buyer at the Volk Hat company, met with an accident on Monroe street, near the depot, last evening. In get- ting to the street, in the darkness, he made a misstep and fell, and aside from a severe shock suffered a “fracture" to his trousers that necessitated the pur- chase of a new pair. K. of C. Smoker. The local council, Knights of Colum- bus, held a smoker, last evening, which was of an entertaining character. There was music, speeches, recitations and re- freshments galore. Among the speakers were Rev. Father Barry, chaplain of 1 the council, and the attendant physi- cian, Dr. W. J. Tracey. '- Pioneer Sociable. The Pioneer Hook and Ladder com- pany sociable at Lookwood’s hall, last evening, was well attended, and so re- plete was the affair with pleasure, it was 3 o’clock this. morning before the music played “Home, Sweet Home ” and those present reluctantly obeyed.

Russell Frost,,of Nort- .walk, Likely to .-be Adjutant General. PLENTY OF ASPIRANTS. The Appointments Will Probably be Announced in Two or Three Weeks. 9 BRIDGEPORT, Nov. 22.——The an- nouncement of the staff of Governor- Elect George E. Lounsbury is antici- pated within a few weeks, and the political world is already forming and reforming a suitable staff for the in- coming administration. It will not be surprising if Brigadier General Russell Frost, of N orwalk, is named. as the next adjutant-general to succeed Adjutant-general George Ha- ven, of New London. cumbent, it is understood, has reasons for believing he should be again hon- ored. He has, however, a formidable rival for the place in his own city, for- mer Col. Tubbs of the Third regiment. Another hero of the late war, 001. Charles L. Burdette, of Hartford, it is rumored, would not be averse to taking the place. Despite the many who are willing and qualified, the choice of the gover- nor is likely to fall upon the N orwalk The present in- man, so it is said. For more reasons than one, Brigadier-General Frost is picked as the man who will step into the shoes of Adjutant-General Haven, who was Frost’s predecessor as Briga- dier-General. Next in line of importance on the governor’s staff is Quartermaster Gen- eral, the office now occupied by Gen. L. N. Van Keuren of this city. No one has been more prominently men- tioned for this appointment than Fred- erick Hollister Stevens, business man- ager ofthe Standard association. But Governor-Elect Lounsbury has other things to consider, and in event of the appointment of Gen. , Frost to the Adjutant-Generalship, Mr. Stevens and all other Fairfield county men will have to relinquish any fond hopes they may have. The Quartermaster-General would come from another section of the state, and it. is, therefore, not at all un- likely that Col. John B. Doherty of Waterbury, or Lieut. Col. Thompson of New Britain might be selected. For Commissary-general, Albert P. Day, of Hartford, the present incum- bent, is not beyond consideration. But there is another man whose friends are. legion, and there is a movement to se- cure his appointment. He is Mayor L. H. Fuller, of Putnam, aid on Gen. Frost’s stall. _ One of the principal names mentioned for the Surgeon-generalship is that of Dr. Wilbur s. Watsdn of Danbury, the present medical director on Brig- adier General Frost’s stafi, and espec- ially well known among Fourth regii- ment men. Another is Dr. F. G. Graves, of Waterbury, assistant sur- geon of the Second regiment, and a third is Thomas F. Rockwell, of Rock- ville, of the First. _ There are several‘stron g aspirants for the position of Paymaster General, now held by George E. Kenney of Somers- ville, and none is better known than former Senator Benjamin (F. Lee of New London. Mr. Lee was a member of the Senate with the incoming gov- ernor. Another man mentioned is former Senator George M. Harrington, of Willimantic, who has some consid- erable military experienge. The friends of Frederick L. Averill of New Haven, are urging his appoint- ment as paymaster general. The last of the principals in the gov-- ernor’s family is the Judge advocate The present incumbent is John F. Carpenter, of Putnam, but it is safe to assert that he will not remain. Judge George H. Cowell, of Water- bury, is .considered a strong candidate for thisappointment. _ Still another candidate is Edward M. Day, of Colchester, who like Judge Cowell was a member of the Judiciary committee in the last legislature. In Waterbury there is a desire to have Col. Lucien F. Burpee of the Sec- ond Regiment recognized upon his re- turn from the seat of war. A‘-‘ Arrived Safely. Mrs. W. F. Bishop, of Belden ave— nue, received a cablegram this morn- ing from her husband stating that the Hill Porto Rican party had arrived safely and were all well. Rev. A. J. Smith and family have gpne to Munroe to spend the Thanks- giving. The A.P.C. club will play football, Thursday with the Darien seniors, on the grounds of the latter. There is a tree on River street that ought to be razed before it falls because of its own decay, with perhaps serious results to any one passing at the time. George Fitch has all he wants to know of carbuncles on one of his arms. To-day is St. Cecelia’s day and it will be celebrated by the choir of St. Paul’s church, at the Berkeley street chapel, this evening. Gounod’s Redemption sung. A number of the girl friends of Mas- ter Harold Austin, of Norwalk, are getting up a pink tea his honor. Miss Lauretta Ainsworth, of East N orwalk, has been engaged as contrai- to soloist in the South Norwalk Con- gregational church until May lst.
