A number of Danbury residents who
have examined a photograph of the face
of the man who was killed near South
Norwalk December 81, are of the opinion
that the unfortunate person was John
Hess, formerly a batter in Danbury. It is
not certain whether'the man was killed by
a passing trainer laid on the track after
being murdered. A report has gained
considerable headway that the man was
murdered by some hatter-s who did not
succeed in their peaceful endeavors to
keep him from going to work. This is,
however, not warranted by any facts and
is unjust.

At five minutes before eleven Friday
night, the inhabitants of South Norwalk
were startled by a loud report, similar to
the explosion of a large cannon, which
shook the ground and caused windows
to rattle allover the city. A11 investiga-
tion showod that an attempt had been
made to blow up the new brick hat shop
belonging to Messrs.~ Crofut and Knapp,
andsituated just below the steamboat
dock. A cartridge composed either of
dynamite or giant powder had been-
ploced on the sill of one of the factory
windows and exploded by means of a
time fuse. There were seventeen .men
sleeping in the building at' the time, but
none Were hurt, though many of them
were considerably shaken up.
The explosion occurred in the ‘_-‘tip
room" at the southwest corner. of the
building. This room looks out on Tolles
street which is poorly lighted. It was
just the place for any one to do such an
act and escape being seen. 111’ the office
at the northern end of the building
Messrs. Howard Knapp and John Scott
wore sleeping. Just over the ofllce
thirteen "foul" batters were asleep on
cots. These latter had been compelled to
sleep in the factory on account. of the
boycotting practices of the batters which
prevented their obtaining roams or board
anywhere in the city. In the engine
room, not 80 feet from the “tip. room, "
were tho’night watchman and engineer.
Messrs. Knapp and Scott were thrown out
of their cots by the concussion and the
others were more or less shaken up.
The “tip room" was badly wrecked.
The stone sill, upon which the cartridge
was exploded was split into fragments.
The window sash and frame ware blown
out and nearly all the windows in the
room were broken. On'the interior the
walls were honey-combed with holes
made by the flying debris, and large
enough in some instances to admit ofa
man's arms. Several sewing machines,
which were in the room, were wrecked,
and in fact, the whole room looked as if
it had undergone an artillery bombard.
ment. The force of the explosion was
evidently outward. Part of a fence on
the opposite side of the street was blowr:
down an'da piece of the cartridge was
timed embedded in the boards. Several
indentations in the frozen roadway show
ed where flying pieces of the infernal ma-
chine had struck.
It is a question whether the explosive
used was dynamite or giant powder. It
seems more probable that it was the latter.
If dynamite had been "employed, in our
opinion, the shock and damage would
have been much greater. Matcver the
agency was, it was only the ignorance of
the party using it which saved the build-
ing from destruction.
The cartridge was in the form of a piece
of iron pipe with heavy iron caps screwed
on both ends. It had evidently been pre-
pared with care This pipe was filled with
the explosive and the mass fired by a fuse.
' The cartridge before it was exploded
was evidently over a foot long and was-
about six inches in circumference. Part
of this cartridge, which were found em-
bedded in the walls and strewn on the
ground, were pickcdupby Messrs. Crofut
fice.
As soon as the explosion occurred the
inmates of the factory hastily dressed and
turned out to ascertain the cause. When
it was found that an attempt had been
.made'to blow up the shop, Mr. Howard
Knapp went to Mayor Taylor's house and,
demanded protection. For some reason-
bést’known to himself, the mayor did not
go to-the scene, but referred Mr. Knapp
to the chief of police. That gentleman
went to the factory, but after. a. thorough
examination could find no .trace of the
guilty party.
Mayor Taylor put in an appearance in
the morning and found a_ consultation of

He was mayor of the citv, and valuable

to avoid, but subsequently a special
meeting of the council was called and a
reward of 8500 offered for the perpetrator
of the outrage. A number of special po-
licemen were also appointed.
The manufacturers though of course
expressing the natural belief that the act
was done by the strikers, made no charges
against anyone. on the other hand 1111:
strikers were loud in their allegations that
the explosion was the Work of the
employers themselves, and done 111
order to gain public sympathy. ' The
general opinion, however, seems to he
that the explosion _ was planned by some
of the strikers and was simply done in
order to Score out of term the foul batters
who were at work in the shop. There
can be no question but that, whether the
batters had any part in the affair or not,

. , humans.
As mentioned above, the common
council have offered a roward of 8500 for
the arrest of the criminal parties. In ad-
dition to this the executive committee of
the batters at a meeting, held Saturday
morning, decided to issue a notice of
8200 reward. The manufacturers subse-
quently offered a further reward of 8700
as follows: 8500 for the arrest of the
party responsible for the explosion; 8100
for the detection of the parties who stoned
Austin T. Wilson‘s house, in Cranberry
Plains, during December; and 8100 for
the identification of parties concerned in
the recent assault upon two foul batters
in South Nor-walk.

On Sunday, Mrs. Muzzy, who labored

A correspondent in the Wutporter last

011 Thursday of last week Mr. Manson
Perry of Cross highway, met with an ac-
cident from the effects of which it is
doubtful if he ever entirely recovers.
Mr. Perry had been engaged in basking
asmall quantity of corn, and after com-
pleting the work filled a basket with
bucks and attempted to go through the
stable into another part of the barn pass-
ing behind his horses. As he was doing
so his toe caught against the and of- a
projecting board and he was thrown down
which probably frightened the horses, one
of which kicked, striking Mr. Perry on
the side of the head, rendering him
unconscious in which condition he re.
mined fora long time. Upon partially
recovering he managed to crawl out of
the stable into the yard where he was
found by his son. Medical aid was im-
mediately procured, and upon examina-
tion his injuries were found to- be quite
serious.
