NORWALK GAZETTE,TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1883.

 

NORWALK GAZETTE;
Tuesday August 21, 1883.

The Old Time Nerwalk Bridge.

That is an exquisitely fine bit of dcs
scriptive writing, in Gen. Ferry’s word
picture of the old wooden bridge that used
to span the river near where now the GA-
ZETTE Building stands. We refer to the
opening paragraph of-chapter third of Mr.
Ferry’s admirable story, “Adventures of a
Merchant’s Clerk,” which appeared in last
Saturday’s Semi-Weekly. All the older

, residents of Norwalk will readily recog-
also the apt descriptive photograph of
that old and crazy structure, which pre-
ceded for long years the present stone
bridge. On the northeast abutment,
where now stands Plaistcd’s drug store,
stood the Hubbell grist mill, with its col-
lossal trunk, reaching overhead and across
and down into the harbor below, through
which sloop loads of grain used to be
scooped up its tin-cupped endless belt,
and carried into the old mill. 0n the
southeast abutment opposite, the Capt.
Pennoyer, wet grocery,was kept, substan—
tially as now, in the hands of the Merrills,
Capt. Pennoyer's successors. Opposite
the present GAZETTE Building stood the
old tumble-down frame tenement, known
for years as C. J. Gruman’s“Old Bridge
Store.” This site is now occupied by the
Mitchell’s Model Market block. 0n the
site of the GAZETTE Building was Hoyt’s
little 12x18 shoe shop, perched in air, with
an oyster shop annex, and further west
and across the open horse watering space
to the pond and where Street’s Dry Goods
store now is, stood John Burrall’s postofiice
structure, about 28x24, with its eastern
rear and standing on a post rising up out
of the old pond. The old bridge was so
narrow that when an ox cart from the east
eon-outs to Hoyt's sloop chanced to meet
on it a dray passing from the west,a panic
was sure to seize upon any foot passers
who might becaught upon its confined
limits. But read the Ferry story, if you
wish a more vivid portrait of the old
time structure, known to the world as
“Norwalk Bridge.”

The Norwalk Fair.
Arrangements for the County Fair at
Norwalk on the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th
of September continue to be pressed for-
ward, and there is every indication that
it will be a most successful and interesting
exhibition. Particular mention can be
made of the entire revision of the pre-
mium list. Among the new classes added
'we notice No. 24, oysters, clams and
boats. Class No. 20,writing and drawing,
etc.; this will particularly attract the
young people. Class No. 22, Ladies’ In-
dustrial, is entirely new, and the entire
book seems to have been carefully pre-
pared. The executive committec have in
hand some novcl.spccialties; some of
them contemplate “going up in a balloon,"
says the Bridgeport Standard.

Lightning Strikes.

The house of Wm. Barry just west of
the Borough reservoir, was discovered on
Sunday to have been struck by lightning,
but when the owner and occupant has no
idea. A hole was found cut through the
roof and one of the rafters split and
splintered .so as to ruin its utility, but
where tbc.bolt then went is a mystery as
no further signs are visible and the injury,
being in the attic was not discovered
until Sunday, when in hunting for a leak
in the roof it was for the first time dis-
covered. Insurance Agent 0. E. Wilson
had a policy on the premiseslnnd will send
a carpenter to repair damages.

A Popular Paper.

The suddenncss with which our Satur—
day ansm has sprung into popular fa-
vor is something remarkable. No canvass
ing was done to secure subscribers in ad
vancc of the issue of the first number and
it was purposely put out the dullest month
of the whole year. Despite the very
large edition printed on Saturday, we had
no papers left at 8 o’clock a. m., and had
to put the inside forms to press and run
off half sheets to satisfy the demand.

 

 

Wants Ills Marriage Disolved.

Andrew S. Jarvis, 'who married hi5 wife,
Jennie L. Jarvis, last October, is now, in
a suit pending in the Supreme Court,
seeking to have his marriage dissolved.
He charges that his wife refused to ac
ccpt his offer to provide her with a home
and he charges that she has been unfaith-
ful.—-Ne'w York World. We know noth
ing of the lady in question, but parties
hcrcabouts who are familiar with the man
will be more apt to sympathize with her
than with “General” Jarvis.

The Hartford base ball association is to
be incorporated under lhe joint stock laws
of the state. The name of the organiza-

- \ion will be "The Hartford Ball Ground
Company,” and a meeting of the subscri-
bars to the shares of the existing associa-
tion will be held August 27 at 8 o'clock
for the purpose of making the proposed
clmuge. The par value of the shares of
the association is now $10. This will
have to be increased to $25 per share, in
order to fulfill the requirements of the
joint stock laws of the state. In reality,
however, no change will be made in the
par value of the stock as only 40 percent.
of the capital need be paid in, and this is
already more than covered by the ten dol—
lar shares. The articles of organization
of the new company will provide fora
capital of $7,000, divided into 280 $25
shares. So successful has the base ball
ground profed financially that it is
thought best to have the association legal
ly organized, with a board of directors,
president, treasurer and secretary—Stan-
dard. '

To Mr. Geo. Q._Whilucy of the Pratt
Jo Whitney Co. of that place, the Harl-
ford Iovcrs of ball playing are mainly in-
debted for the pleasures afforded by the

above association. With his ustomed
energy Mr. W. took up the , act when

it was almost dead and to hispush and cn-'

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.

A Dead Body Found In the Water at Rofoll Point.
A Murder Suspected. .

About six o'clock Thursday morning
Mr. Edward Larrigan, an attache of Roton
Point, discovered the dead body of a man
floating in the water near the wharf at
that place, about five rods from shore.
He called for assistance, and securing the
body to the wharf, started for South Nor-
walk to inform Dr. Burke, the medical
examiner. The doctor, together with
Undertaker Gregory, went to the Point
and, after collecting the necessary wit-
nesses, held an examination. It was evi-
dent that the mdn had not been in the
water more than twelve hours, and the
fact of the body floating, together with
the looks of several ugly bruises on the
head and nose, proved almoat conclusively
that the deceased was unconscious when
he was thrown or fell into the water. The
corpse was attired in black diagonal
pants, white cotton shirt, merino under-
shirt, white cotton socks, linen collar, and
a brown necktie with blue spots. The
coat and vest were gone, and from the
position of the hands,_which were thrown
upward in an attitude of defense. the
theory is advanced that deceued had‘bccn
fighting and had removed his coat and vest.
In one of his pants pockets were found
several cards bearing the name of Henry
Moehler, while in the hip pocket was a let-
ter written in German, but no address or
name was discovered upon it. An cu-
velope was found in another pocket with
a nameiwrittcn in pencil and addressed to
Waterbury, Conn. The name on this en-
velope was so indistinct that Examiner
Burke could not decipher it.‘ After a
thorough external 4 examination of the
body the medical examiner decided that
the man came to his death‘ by drowning,
but finding a number of contusions on
the head and a large bruise upon the nose,
he concluded that there had been foul
play, and adjourned the inquest pending
the arrival of the coroner. County Coro-
ner Holt had left for the Adirondacks the
fore part of the week, but in response to
a telegram, the deputy coroner, Joseph A.
Joyce, came over from Bridgeport. Upon
the circumstances being detailed to him,
he held a consultation with Dr. Burke
and the two officials decided to temporarr
ily suspend operations until proper in-
quiries could be instituted and an investi—
gation of several suspicious circumstances
set on foot. 'Mr. G. S. North was taken
to the spot and took several photographs
of the body, after which it was removed
to Gregory’s undertaking establishment at
South Norwalk.

Harry Hill’s steamer “Flushing" brought
a party of about three hundred persons,
known as “The Cannon Club of the 19th
Ward,” from New York to Dorlon’s
Point, Thursday morning. There was a
decidedly rough element on board who,
after sundry-visits to the bar, became bois-
terous and a number of small rows oc-
curred. A theory advanced to the GA-
ZETTE reporter was that the man either be-
longed to or was with this club and, in
some scrimmage which possibly occurred
on the return trip, he was knocked or
was thrown overboard. From the cir-
cumstances surrounding the case this the-
ory appeared to be the correct one and was
generally believed by people cognizant of
Another suggestion was that
the body came from one of the Bridgeport
boats and that the deceased was from
Waterbury. In pursuit of this idea, which
subscquently proved a correct one, Deputy
Coroner Joyce went to Waterbury Fri-
dayrto make inquiries, where he found
that the name of .the deceased was, as
shown by the cards, Henry Moebler, and
that he had, up to a short time before his
death, worked in that place. A nephew
of the dead man came to South Norwalk
that afternoon and positively identified
the body as that of his uncle.

At 4:30 Thursday afternoon Dr. Burke,
taking photographs of the dead man,
went to New, York city and laid the case
before the police of that city. He was
assured that the matter would be looked
into and in case any evidence was pro—
cured he would be notified.

The following is the description of the
body which'is that of a man about 36
years of age: Five feet, three and a quar-
ter inches in height, dark hair, front part

of head bald, hair long in back, grey eyes,.

and when found had on calf-skin boots
but little worn. Sixty-two cents were
found in his pants’ pocket and that was
all of value on the corpse save a pair of
gold cuff-buttons and a gold shirt-stud.

A formal inquest was held at the
Putnam Hose House yesterday, and the
following gentlemen were selected as
jurors :—T. W. Powell, H. S. Brown, J.
S. Dunning. J. M. Lane, W. '1‘. Crow,
and C. F. Tollcs. Athorough examination
of supmnmd witnesses was made and the
deceased was traced to New York, and up
to 3:30 p. or. Tuesday, when he went on
board the Bridgeport steamer “Crystal
Wave” at her dockin New York. An
officer positively identified him and states
that he saw Moebler go on the boat at
that time and that he appeared to be
slightlydntoxicatcd. From this time all
trace is lost, but it is thought that the
deceased went in Bridgeport and started
to return to New York the next day and
that, on the return trip, he got into some
trouble or fight and was knocked or fel[
overboard. Late yesterday afternoon the
jury rendered a verdict to the effect that
the deceased came to his death at the
hand of some person or persons to the
jury unknown, and that while uncon-
scious said Moehler fell into the water
and drowned. A sister-in-law and two
brothers were present at the inquest and
superintended the disposition of the body
which was taken to Waterbury at 2 p. m.,
yesterday.

With the rendering of the verdict the
matter passes out of the jurisdiction of the

' medical examiner and into the hands of

the State’s attorney, who will institute
such proceedings as may, in his judgment,
seem proper. There is an air of deep
mystery abdut the case and it is morally
certain that a victim of foul play has been
discovered, and in our opinion the matter
should be thoroughly sifted as these
promiscuous murders of parties on .the
Sound steamers are getting to bc alto-
gether too frequent.

Dr. Bhrkc has worked the case through-
out with exceptionnl energy and shrewd-
ncss, and has proved conclusively that a
more efficient and faithful man could not
have been selected for the position of med-
ical examiner.

 

The Old Well flock and Ladder Picnlc. ,
There is likely to be a throng at Roton
Point to-morrow, for on that day
occurs the picnic of the Old Wcll 'Hook

and Ladder Company, as it is a very"

popular organization, and their numerous
admirers well know that a day’s outing
under their auspices, will be some-
thing decidedly pleasant. The Wheeler
& Wilson full band has been engaged,
and there will be concerts' and dancing
through the day and evening. ‘Therc will
also be other attractions—boat racing,
swimming matches, etc. Mademoiselle
Marctta Myers, who has been engaged by
Forepaugh for next season, has, at con-
siderable expense, been induced to be
present, and will give one of her wondc.~
ful exhibitions of walking and performing
acrobatic fonts on a tight rope. She ap-
peared recently before the Marquis of

Lorne, the Prince and Princess of Wales, .

the Duke of Edinburgh and the Duke of
Umbridge.

DEATH or norm can.
I JUDGE BLACK.

Judge Jeremiah Sullivan Black, who
was a striking and familiar figure in
Washington’s winterjcircles, died at York,
Penn., on Sunday morning, his death be‘
ing peaceful and calm. Afew minutes
before his death he spoke with confidence
of the future, saying to his son Chauncey
that he had no fear, and added “I would
that I were as comfortable about what I
leave behind in this world.” While his
wife knelt at his bedside Judge Black
gave utterance to the following impressive.
prayer: “Oh Thou beloved and most
merciful Father, from whomthud my
being, and in whom I have ever trusted,
grant, if it be Thy will, that I no longer
suffer this agony, and that I be speedily-
called home to Thee: and, oh, my God,
bless and comfort this my Mary.” Soon
afterward he kissed his wife good-bye,
turned over on his side, and passed away.
Judge Black was a fervent advocate of
Democratic principles and a lawyer of
great talents. He was attorney general in
President Buchannan's cabinet and after-
ward secretary of state.

years president of the Senate. In 1880

York and Ridgefield company, which con-
sists of grading and masonry, and repre-
sents $400,000 in money already expend-

' Worshlping III the Woods.

In place of the laughter of merry picnick-
ers and terpsichoreau pleasures at Brook-
sidc Park last week, there arose words and
songs of praise, devout invocations and
earnest exhortations, the camp meeting
of the New York East M. E. district
having been in progress. The attendance
was quite large, with the exception of
Thursday when the rain kept a crowd
away, including the Rev. W. 11. Thomas
who had intended to be present that day
only. There was preaching on Tuesday
by Rev. H. Aston of Greenwich, Rev.
Dr. Crook of Mt. Vernon and Rev. B.
Wason of Litcbficld; on Wednesday, by
Rev. John Pegg of Danbury, and Rev.
D. A. Goodsell of New Haven and Rev,
W. P. Estes of New Canaan; on Thurs-
day by Rev. Mr. Smith (colored) of Nor-
walk, ah. Rev. G. Lansing Taylor of
Ridgeficld. This meeting closed _Fri-'
day afternoon.

 

Masked Burglars in Fall-field.

Five masked burglars entered the house
of W. B. Hill, at Fairfield, Thursday
night, handcuffed Mr. Hill, and his hired
men, tied Miss Hill with ropes and ran-
sacked the house. Mrs. Hill escaped and
ran down the road, but was captured and
brought back and securely tied. Mr.
Hill usually has a large amount of money
in the house, bus had made a deposit
Thursday. The burglars secured a small
amount of property, and subsequently
drove in Hill’s carriage to Bridgeport
which was found there.
' There have been no developments. It
seems that the burglars ransacked the
premises, and finally carried away a gold
watch belonging to Mrs. Hill. The hand-
cuffs had to be filcdofl the wrists of Mr.
Hill and Henry Weller, the hired man.

a representation of the celebrated play
~"Ouly a Farmer's Daughter." The com-

not familiar with the play itself need only
read the following from the Burlington
Hawker/e :— .

The play has received the endorsement
of Willie Winter of the New. York Tribune,
F. L: Fontaine of the New York Herald,
Thomas Keene of the Buffalo Courier,
and, in fact, all the critics of the Eastern
cities, and large audiences attest the popu-
larity of the play and players. The theme
is pure, the plot strong, the moral of the
best and the story intensely interesting.
We welcome such Amei'Icau plays.

4 the depot, is an unmitigated nuisance. It

is believed that Supt. Stevenson is not
aware of the fact as some months since he
put a stop to the calling in of fiagmcn by
those trains which lie over night at the
round house in this city.

The special camp meeting train on the
Danbury and Norwalk road came in a few
minutes ahead of its schedule time on
Wednesday evening, and in consequence
it crashed intothc caboose of a freight
train at the depor. The latter was con-
siderably damaged and the forward part
of the engine of the special was broken.
The passengers were shaken up.

Of two startling runaways Wednesday,

‘ one was a horse belouging to George Sco-

field which, taking fright at the cars start.
ed with a boy holding the reins and dash-
ing past the postofllce into the open space
south of the Mahsckemo, caused so much
of a commotion among boxes, barrels and
other loose objects resting there as to alarm
some timid people and scars those in the
hotel who pretend to be brave.

Saturday evening Officer Lincoln at-
tempted to arrest a young man named
William Peavy for being drunk and;creat-
ing a disturbance. One-of Peavy‘s cem-
panions; William Menzing by name, inter
fared and' finally started to whip the of-
ficer. He was unsuccessful as the num-
erous wounds received from the officer's
club, testify, The pair were escorted to
the lock-up where they spent the night
and on being tried before Justice Bouton
Sunday morning were compelled to pay a

A REVOL’I‘ING CRIME.

An Englishman Arrested for ‘Incest With Ills
Daughter.

 

A revolting case of crime came to light
at Cannons last week, an Englishman
named Samuel Hall, employed at Lock-
Wood’s 'wire mill, being charged with
incest with his fourteen years old daugh~
ter. Hall was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Ells on Tuesday, brought to Norwalk and
confined in the lockup over high” The
next day he was taken before Justice
Samuel Bennett at Cannons, and, plead-
ing guilty, was bound over to the August
.term of the superior court under $300
bonds. Being unable to obtain bail he
was taken to Bridgeport jail.

It appears thatHall,who is about 40 years
old and has a wife and four children, has
had intercourse with his daughter for the
past three years. He is of intemperate
habits and whenever he got on a spree he
would force his daughter to gratify his
desires and by intimidation kept her from
revealing his incestuous practice. Last
week in one of his drunken quarrels
with his wife, Hall twitted her of being

"jealous of him and the girl, and he let fall

other things which aroused her suspicions.
Sbc' thereupon closely questioned the
daughter and learned from her the whole
story. She was averse to having the
affair become public, and tried to
prevail upon her husband to go away and
never come back. She gave him $5.
but he refused to go unless the amount
was increased. Mrs. Hall then started for
Norwalk to prefer a charge against him,
and be, hearing of her proposed action,
left for New York to avoid arrest. He
would have obtained a good job in that
city, but a letter bad preceded him from
South Norwalk, detailing his career,‘aud
he was unsuccessful. Thinking that he
was followed he concluded .to return
home and was arrested immediately upon
his reappearance. The subsequent dis-
posal of his case followed as stated above.
Hall is of ordinary intelligence and al-
tributes his crime to drink.
