Philip Fagan, who resides with Mrs.

REAGAN IS INSANE.”

So Doctors Porter and Down Have Reported
to Governor.

 

 

Dr. George L. Porter of Bridgeport,
and Dr. Edwin A. Down of Hartford,
the physicians who examined “Bat”
Reagan, the alleged Ridgefield burg-
lar, as to his sanity, have mailed their
report to Governor Cooke, showing
that they found the prisoner to be in-
sane.

The governor will issue an order
to-day transferring Reagan from the
county jail to the Connecticut Hospi-
tal for the Insane at Middletown.

Reagan’s peculiar actions and his re-
fusal to eat raised a question as .to his
sanity and at the request of Sheriff
Hawley the governor appointed the
commission to examine him.

Baptist Roll-Call.

The annual roll-call of the South Nor-
walk Baptist church will be held in the
church this evening. Supper will .be
served at 8. It is hoped that all the
members will be in their places at the
tables promptly, so that all may be
served at the same time. Rev. J .L. Ray,
of Brooklyn, will preside. Letters from
absent members will be read, and it is
hoped that a large proportion of the
church may come together at the same
time.

The Gazette Wonders.

Who is looking after the road roller.

If Captain Gladstone removed the
rubber heels from his shoes because he
could not hear himself.

Why this would not be a good oppor-
tuni' y to thoroughly clean Wall street.

 

If the police will remove the daily
blockade of the GAZETI'E entrance by
Sons of Rest.

Annie Gartland Refused a Liquor License in

 

Saugatuck.—Goes to Superior Court.

Annie Gartland, of Meriden, has
given notice of an appeal to the Super-
ior court from the decision 'of the co m-
missioners. refusing her a license in
Saugatuck, in the town of Westport.

Some months ago the commissioner
heard a remonstrance against a license
in the building owned by Annie Gart-
land, and a number of influential citi-
zens appeared in opposition. The ap-
plication was refused on the ground of
the unsuitability of the place. She
again reluctantly asked the commis-
sioners to set a time when she might
be heard upon her application, and
they replied that the board had decid-
ed not to grant her a license for the
place. '

.. Through her counsel, Attorney Stiles
Judson, Jr., she has notified the board
that she will appeal to the December
term of the Superior court fr om their
decision.

Mr. Brandegee’s Candidacy.

That Frank B. Brandegee of New
Lendon Will be speaker of the house of
representatives is now practically cer-
tain. He has had very little opposition
from the first and that‘which did exist
hasn’t made progress enough to encour-
age itself and is therefore neither ag-
gressive nor hopeful. The people of
eastern Connecticut feel that their man
is entitled to the place both by the 10-
cality argument and the fitness argu-
ment, and as few in other parts of the
State oppose the former argument and
none the latter, Mr. B1 andegee 5 call-
ing and election seem sure. —Jou1na1 &.

“Tom” Fitzgerald Gives
His Relatives a Big
Scare.

THE GUN WAS UNLOADED.

The Owner Landed in the Smith Street Station

House.

The culmination of what is spoken of
as a “family row ” has resulted in the
landing of Thomas Fitzgerald in the
Smith street station-house.

For some weeks past, so it is stated,
there has been trouble between Thomas
Fitzgerald and his sister, .Mrs. James
Byrnes, the former of whom lives on
Banks street and the latter not far
away on the New Canaan road.

Saturday evening, Mrs. Byrnes saw
Fitzgerald pass her house with a gun
in his hands, and in View of alleged
threats made by Fitzgerald, thought
that he intended shooting her daugh-
ter Nellie, who is in the habit of riding
to and from her work in South Nor-
walk on a tramway car.-

In leaving the car Miss Fitzgerald
has occasion to cross what is known as
the New Canaan bridge in order to
reach her home, and it was in this
direction that Fitzgerald went.

In view of the fact, Mrs. Byrnes
claims to have become alarmed for her
daughter’s safety and asked her son
Edward, who happened to be home at
the time, to go out to his sister’s pro-
tection. V

Byrnes claims that he was assaulted
by Fitzgerald who rapped him over the
head with the gun.

Fitzgerald claims that Byines hit
him fiist with a loaded whip.

Both agree that there was a
or "tussle” and it seems that Fitzgerald

“run in”

got the worst of it.

At this juncture Dayton Bouton came
along and he prevailed upon him to
start away, for the purpose of swearing
out a warrant against Byrnes.

Byrnes speedily started on a similar
errand and reached this city first, and
starting back with Oliicer Morehouse,
met Bouton, Fitzgerald and the gun.

The oliicer placed Fitzgerald under
arrest and confiscated the gun, an old-
fashioned single barrel, muzzle loader.

It was later found that the gun was
not loaded, but there was a percussion
cap on the nipple, and it is alleged
that Fitzgerald believed that the piece
was loaded. :

The selectmen will probably order an ,

examination as to .the sanity of the
prisoner, it being claimed that he has
shown signs of being in a condition of
mind that is a menace to those with
whom he comes in contact.

Joseph .Headding’s House in
North Wilton Damaged
by the Gale.

FOUND 100 FEET AWAY.

Wind Carried Roof Into Samuel Comstock’s Or-
chard Where it Was Recovered.

The heaviest gale to strike Wilton in
many years arrived Sunday night and
did much damage to trees and build—
ings.

The roof of Joseph Headding’s house
in North Wilton was blown off about
10 o’clock, and. the family were awak—
ened by a downpour of rain, which
flooded the building. No one was in-
jured, however, and the family made
themselves as comfortable as the cir~
cumstances would permit during the
night.

Asearch for the missing roof dis-
closed it safely resting in Strong Com-
stock’s Orchard, about one hundred
feet from the house.

Mr. Headding estimates that the
damage will foot up to about $100.

ITS SECOND FALL.

Sunday Night’s Gale Lays Low the Thompson
Big Pine Tree. . V

A week ago Sunday the 80-foot pine
tree at the residence _ of Andrew
Thompson, on West street, was laid
low by the storm.

Mr. Thompson is reported as having
said that he would rather sacrifice
$1,000 than lose the tree, which has a
cmupanion tree in the same yard, and
which withstood the blasts of the storm.

After being advised that there was a
possibility of replanting the tree and
retaining its life, Mr. Thompson made
a contract with Raymond Bros. to reset
the tree.

This was partially accomplished last
week, and the tree was kept in position
by the use of guy ropes, until such
time as it might again become rooted.

Sunday night’s gale, however, struck,
it and again laid it low. This time it.
fell across an iron fen'Ce, wreckinga
large section'of the same, and in‘a
measure blocking t1ave1 on the street.

It is stated that another attempt
will be made to right the tree. ' .
