Believed to be the Luddington Gang Since the capture of Baker, the as- sistant and confederate of the univer- sal thief Luddington, certain bits of ev- idence have been developed that give strong probability to the theory that it was the Luddington gang that burglar- ized the jewelry store of the Jacksons here a few weeks ago. This being so, it goes to show that there is still anoth- er active participant in this organized and active band of midnight marau- yet uncaptured, as three men ing in the Jackson bur- glary, one standing guard at the outer door, two going into the store, and still another going into the hotel after mid- night and taking a room that overlook- ed the scene of operations, conjectural- ly. as a guard against discovery and sur- prises from that quarter. If it shall turn out that this gang were the real burglars of the Jackson store, then it is entirely probable that they were the ones who burglarized the Danbury and Norwalk R. R. freight depot and Randle’s store and postoflice some time ago. This matter will be very thoroughly investigated, and from the clues already in possession of the officers, more arrests are likely to be made and the Luddington gang will rise considerably above the grade of mere chicken thieves and simple coun- try house breakers and food and furni- ture stealers. W War History. In view of the completion of Ben Butler’s autobiography, the following interesting contribution to the history of the war, which has never before been printed, will be found self-explanatory and of general interest : OFFICE OF THE ADMIRAL, WASHINGTON, D. 0., May 14, ’89. DEAR SIR z—Your letter of the 11th inst, is received; I cannot supply you with any ammunition for I dislike very much the notice that has been taken of Butler. I do not know whether I have been fortunate or unfortunate in coming in contact with unscrupulous adversaries. I have certainly been no worse off for their assaults. As for Admiral Farra- gut, he and I were always friends. While he lived he was at the head of the navy—he could get no higher, either in rank or reputation. He had everything he wanted. To show you our relations I send you a copy of the last letter he ever wrote. You can see by it whether I was do- ing anything for him or not. I was "always doing something for Farragut and by my persistent efl'orts had him selected for the command of the squadron at New Orleans where he so gloriously distinguished himself. It is such worthless fellows as Butler who circulate the reports to which you re- fer. I remain very respectfully yours, DAVID D. PORTER, Admiral. ders, were seen operat To Col. D. C. Pavey, Birmingham, Conn. The following is a copy of the Farra- gut letter referred to: NEW YORK, June 26, ’70 MY DEAR ADMIRAL :——I have re- ceived your letter of the 24th inst, and hasten to thank you for your kind sug- gestions in reference to the “Talla- poosa.” As you truly observe, it will be much more agreeable to me at this warm season, to travel in this vessel to Ports- mouth, N. H., where I propose spend- ing a few weeks with Commodore Pin- nock and his family. My physicians are decidedly of the opinion that a change of air will be highly beneficial to me and I do not doubt that this little trip by sea will also be of service. Again thanking you for your thought- fulness in this matter, believe me Very Truly Yours. D. G. FARRAGUT, Admiral, U. S. N. To Vice Admiral D. D. Porter, Navy Department, Washington, D. C. Children’s Day. at the Congrega— tional Church. Children’s day dawned bright and. beautiful and was observed at the First congregational church Sunday morning in a most interesting service, designed especially for the children. who were present in large numbers and had brought the beautiful daisies which were arranged in such profusion about the pulpit and organ. The singing by the choir and the children was much enjoyed, while in his address to the Sunday school Dr. Noble interested all who were so fortunate as to be present. At the close of the service the rite of baptism was administered to a large number of little ones who were thus dedicated to God, and brought by their parents, presented a touching and beau- tiful sight as they surrounded thealtar. The services closed with singing by the children and choir, and the beautiful service connected with “children’s d av” will not soon be forgotten. Will be found an excellent remedy for sick headache.

Hoyt and George Saunders left Nor- walk on the 3.0’clock car for South Nor- walk where they took a sailboat and started out for a sailing and fishing’trip combined. Shortly before the first storm came up they weighed anchor and reached Keyser’s Island where they took refuge in a boat house until the storm was over. Then they started out again,but had not been fishing long before they saw a second storm coming up from the south. Setting sail, they headed for Dorlon’s Point, where they arrived in time to escape a severe wet- ting. After supper they heard shouts for help. At first they thought that the sounds proceeded from a party engaged in Skylarking. Subsequently, however, Mr. Hoyt decided that somebody had been. shipwrecked, and with Mr. ' Saun- ders, he got into his boat and proceed- ed toward the shouters. There were three of them, all South Norwalk men, and they were found clinging to their capsized and partly submerged catboat, having floated in this way for an hour and a half or longer,from Peach Island to Burritt’s. They were completely ex- hausted and were hauled into the boat of their rescuers with great difficulty. One of them, a 200-pounder, was so loaded with beer that he was almost helpless, and when Comrade Hoyt was getting him into the boat, he gave the fat man’s trousers a tremendous strain and they parted. At first the rescued people wanted to control matters, and one of them insisted that the capsized boat be towed ashore, inasmuch as his coat was “in it;” but Mr. Hoyt quick- ly and emphatically notified them to keep still or he would pitch them over- board ; that they might thank their stars for their lives and let the clothing go. Finally the whole party landed, safely at the oyster dock, near the steamboat dock, and our Norwalk friends are happy to-day in the con- sciousness of having saved a few hund- red pounds of human life, more or less valuable. Arthur Lovejoy Cared For. Tuesday afternoon, by order of Selectman Daskam, Officer Adams went to the Children’s Home arrested Arthur Lovejoy, aged 11 and brought him to town as an incorrigible. Subs sequently at the request of Mr. Dask- am, the lad was turned over to his mother, (who promised to look after 'him), by Justice Coolidge. So many stories are afloat respecting this matter that 2. DAILY GAzETTE representative interviewed Mr. Daskam at length this morning, and here is the substance thereof: Arthur Lovejoy had been an inmate of the Home about five years and as he is a bright boy, and was too old to be kept there any longer,:Select- man Daskam, (whose good judgment and humanity in general can never be questioned), decided to find a good place for him. He was successful at the outset. Landlord McPherson want- ed just such a boy for the hotel office, to act as errand boy etc., and if Arthur had conducted himself properly he would have had no better home than with Landlord and Mrs. McPherson. But be neglected his duties and his stay was short. Then Mr. Daskam found a good place for Arthur with a Ridgefield farmer who wanted just such a lad to drive cows and do light chores about the house but not for field work as has been erroneously repre- sented. But Arthur was insolent and negligent and staid with the Ridgefield farmer two days, when he tramped back to the Children’s home. As it be- came evident that something must be done with him at once Selectman Dask- ‘am determined to send Arthur to the Reform school at Meriden, but at the urgent entreaty of his mother and sev- eral friends he was given into her custo- dy and if he behaves himself he will be spared a trip to Meriden. This is the story, pure and simple, and Selectman Daskam seems to have acted with ex- cellent judgment and the most humane motives. #A; John Hearty’s Wonderful Dog. A DAILY GAZETTE scribe was a per- sonal witness to a remarkable bit of canine wisdom on the part of faithful John Hearty’s dog. John had just come out of the small iron gate in front of the Mrs. W. K. James mansion, shutting it and his dog behind him. No sooner had Bull discovered that he was thus separated from his master than he stood up on his hind feet, and bracing his left fore paw on the stone post beside the iron gate, with his nose he lifted up the iron latch from its catch and with his right fore paw curved around the first iron slat, pulled the gate open and darted out and down the street after his master. Who shall gainsay the assertion that some dogs know a great deal more than some men, or question the venerable spin- ster’s philosophy when she said the more she saw of and knew about men, the more she loved her dog. John Hearty’s dog certainly has a good deal more running through his head than fleas. 4‘ Av 7‘ 0n the Down I-Iill Side.

President Jonathan Trumbull with a few apprOpriate remarks introduced Senator Joseph R. Hawley, who made an eloquent address which was followed by Mr. Trumbull, accepting the J ona- than Trumbull war oflice. Speeches were also made by Colonel Russell, of Danielsonville, member of Congress ; the Rev. Dr. Samuel Buckingham of Springfield, brother of Governor Buckingham ; and by Mr. Jonathan F. Morris. Mr. Morris sketched ”the his- tory of Flag Day, showing that it is not intended as a day ofnoise and dis- order, but as a day for appropriate decorations, picnics, and outdoor en- joyment. He told of the efforts of Judge Loomis in Congress to have Flag Day made a national holiday, and how the day has now come to be generally observed. Mr. Morris some time ago read a valuable paper on “The British Flag,” before the Connecticut Histori- cal Society, and he is an authority on flags in general. ' The patriotic poem for the occasion was beautifully composed and read by Mr. Thomas S. Colyer. The orator of the day was the Rev. Dr. Leonard W. Bacon of Norwich. His address was a remarkably fine production and was listened to with the closest attention. After the exercises of the morning, the Sons of the Revolution and the Historical society and guests marched to the town hall and the church, where dinner had been prepared, and the visi- tors were waited upon by the ‘Lebanon farmers’ daughters in an excellent manner. The war office was a great attraction all day long. It is a small two-story building, painted a reddish brown. Its rounded, shingled roof and its founda- tion and chimney of broken stones give it an ancient appearance, although it has recently been put in the best of re- pair. The following new members were elected to the society from Norwalk : Frederick St. John Lockwood, Freder- ick Homer (guintard and Charles Augus- tus Quintar . _ E. J. Hill presided at the meeting of the Board of Managers. Connecticut Society of the Cincin- nati. The DAILY GAZETTE is in receipt of the following letter.

Any information as to the above will be thankfully received by "CINCINNATUS. ” New Haven, Ct., 37 Howe street. Knights of Columbus Parade. Yesterday the Knights ‘of Columbuo of division embracing Norwalk, Stam- ford, Bridgeport, Greenwich and a few other towns,ten societies in all, went to Danbury for their annual parade. Nor- walk Council, No. 4.6, was accompanied by Heine’s brass band of South Nor- walk and the Americus fife and drum band of this place, and as the Knights marched to the station in their linen coats and light helmets they presented a very creditable appearance. Adjourned for Two Weeks. The senate met Monday afternoon at 1 o’clock in Hartford but adjourned immediately to 2:30 o’clock. Upon re- assembling at that hour on motion James Donnelly was appointed a trus- tee of the Meriden reform school for three years, beginning July 1, 1892. Senator Clark moved that the appro- priation bill be taken from the table but the motion was defeated and the bill was referred to the proper commit- tee. At 2:50 o’clock an adjournment was taken until Monday a week at 1:30. A Fortunate Clergyman. Rev. E. P.

Considerable talk is being indulged in over the result of the first race at the Gentleman’s Driving association races on Tuesday. It seems that Mr. W. H. Lockwood entered Prince R. in the three minute class and the Prince captured three straight heats with ease, and in fast time for that class, leaving the field far in the rear. It is now stated that while the trot was in pro- gress President Buckingham Lock- wood and his brother W. B. E., Jr., called upon Mr. W. H. Lockwood for identification of Prince R. claiming, it is said, that the horse had a faster re- cord and should not have been allowed to enter the three minute class. It is now reported that \V. B. E. Lockwood Jr., had two horses entered in the same race under different owners, which is against the rules and if true makes the owner liable to expulsion from the as- sociation. Are we to have a “baccarat” case over our race track. School Meeting. Mr. A. H. Camp was chosen chair- man of the annual school meeting held Wednesday evening in the Center dis- trict school house and Chas, N. Arnold secretary. The following ofiicials for the ensuing year were elected : School committee, J. B. Hurlbutt, George B. St. John, Benjamin Fillow; treasurer, Ezra Parker ; collector, Charles A. Burr; clerk, Charles N. Arnold. The committee was empowered to call a special meeting at any time for the purpose of laying a tax. There was more or less discussion respecting the advisability or expediency of laying a tax at the present timein view of the burden of taxation under which the citizens of Norwalk are now laboring, but the question is one that can safely be left to the excellent committee chosen at the meeting. —-—‘*—>— ‘ Taken to Mlddletown. On Tuesday Constable Morehouse took Daniel Fairchild of Wilton to the Middletown asylum. By the adoption of a series of clever ruses he got him as far as Berlin without any trouble, but while on the station platform at that place one of those inquisitive jays, that are always roaming at will about a country station, sauntered up to Mr. Morehouse and asked if he was on his way to Middletown. After this he had hard work to get Fairchild in the train without trouble, but he finally got through with his charge all right.
