Rev. Father Winters Will-
Leave St. Joseph’s
' 'Parish.
,.H|S GOING REGRETTED.
8
Will Be Succeeded by Rev. Father/Mahler of
Milford.
Easter was a sad 'day with the com-
municants 'of St. Joseph’s parish in
.South N orwalk when it became Whisper-
ed about that Rev. Father Winters was
to leave and take up his life-work else-
where. ‘
1n the morning Father Winters gave
notice to his_parishioners that he de-
sireda full attendance at the evening
service as he had a communication of
importance which he desired to make
.to them. The announcement caused a
large congregation to assemble in the
evdning, and after delivering his ser-
mon Father Winters read a letter from
Bishop Tierney ordering him to Hart-
ford.
After reading the Bishop’s lettcr
Father Winters read his farewell ad-
dress to his congregation, and stated
that his successor would be Rev Father
Maher of Hartford who delivered a
lecture on the “Catacombs” in Music
Hall about a year ago. .
Father Winters came to South Nor-
walk four years ago next fall, and
during his residence here erected the
handsome St. Joseph’s church on South
Main street. He had just given out
the contract for the completion of the
interior of the edifaee and, announced
to his parishioners that he would leave
> some $2300 in the bank towards paying
for the same.
During Father Winter’s residence
in South Norwalk he has made a host
of friends both within and without his
church. He has endeared himself to
all, and his going away at this time
'will make a vacancy which will be
hard to fill.

His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mm, lately had a wonder-, _
ful deliverance from a frightful death.
In telling of it he says : " I was taken
with Typhoid Fever, that ran into
Pneumonia. My lungs became hard-
ened. I was so weak I couldn’t even
sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I
expected to soon die of Consumption,
when 1 heard of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery. One bottle gave great relief.
I continued to use it, and now am well
and strong; 1 can’t say too much in its
praise.” This marvellous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the
world for all Throat and Lung trouble.

Hen Roost Robbed.
The hen roost'of William Adams on
France street, was visited Saturday
night or early Sunday morning, by a
thief who stole a rooster and two pul-
lets. The thief gained an entrance by
ripping ed a couple of planks from the
rear of the hennery. It was in evidence
that the party who appropriatedn: the
fowls wore a new pair ofover—shoes the
impression from the soles of the same
nery. The Chanticleer taken was a pet
one and greatly valued by its .owner.
It is thought that the barking of adog
frightened the'thief away before he had
a further oppprtunity to despoil the
coop. "

A Big Blaze Near Rowayton
Saturday Night, Fought'
by Volunteer Firemen.
BUILDING DESTROYED.
Boylston’s Carriage Factory Saved by Hard.
. Work of Residents. ’
At abo “a 0 o’clock Saturday night
Mrs. Harry? 'Ackert discovered the
long building situated in the rear of
Boylston’s baby carriage factory in
Rowayton on fire.
She gave the alarm and the neighbors
turned out in force, but were unable to.
sa've the structure which was totally
destroyed.
The building was‘ owned by Harry
Pepper of this city, who recently pur-
chased-it of Selectman Themes. The
up stairs portion was used as a dwell-
ing but no one was living in it at the
time of the fire. It is situated just over
the line in the tOWn of Darien.
The down stairs part was used for '
'storage and Constable Ladrigan had
several carriages stored therein. These
were gotten out as was a horse and
carriage belonging to George Low, al-
though the latter lost his harness.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by rats knawing some matches
stored in the lower part. A
As all efforts to save the building
were fruitless. the volunteer firemen
turned their attention to Boylston’s
carriage factory which was in great
danger from the sparks, and by good
work with buckets managed to. prevent
its taking fire. .
Mr. and Mrs. Pepper desire to express
their thanks'through' the columns of
theGAzn'rrE to the-men wbocomposed ‘
the volunteer brigade and who by their
efforqs prevented the destruction of the
Boyston factory.

An Unidentified Assault
At 2 o’clock Saturday morning Supt.
Birmingham was aroused by a tele- -. .
phone call from some. person” unknown
, to him, who stated that a wheelman
had been held up in Westport before
midnight. He told his informant to
notify SergeantRedgate at the central
police station here, but this he did not
do. The story toldthe superintendent
was that while riding in a westerly
direction the wheelman, whose name
was not ascertained, had been inter-
cepted in a dark portion of the thor-
oughfare. assaulted, and his wheel
taken from him, as well as valuables
found on his person. - Despite the fact
that the story savers of a "fake,” the
superintendent stated that he believed
it to be true and expected to ascertain
the identity of the victim later. He

great force, and will be felt on the coast

There Will be a slight disturbance from
the 2d to the 4th of April of little ac-
count, excepting it being precursory to
the general disturbance soon to follow.

The Several Churches Handsomely Deco-

Notwithstanding the cold Easter
day large congregations were present
at the several churches in town at
both morning and evening services,
and the weather apparently had no -
deterring effect on church goers al-
though but few of the ladies appeared
in new Easter costumes. .
At all of the churches special ser-
mons and music had been arranged for
the occasion whicn attracted large
congregations.
The decorations of the churches, al-
though confined almost exclusively to
the pulpit, were of an elaborate and
artistic character, several of the pul-
pits being literally wreathed in flowers
and palms.
The evening servmes were almost
entirely musical and drew large con-
gregations the same’ias in the morning,
and at several of the churches large
and substantial Easter offerings were
made. ‘ I
