Fox, employed at the hat shop of J - G. Wilson & 00., corner of South Main and Cross streets, discovered that the 1‘ oof Of the drying room of that shop was on fire. Each floor of the shop is supplied with 75 feet of hose. Not wait- ing to sound the fire alarm, hewith two or three others soon brought a stream to bear on the flames, and it was not long before they had extinguished them. Supt. Charles Sherwood Was approach- ing the factory at the time and saw the smoke coming from the roof, which he at first mistook for steam. He sudden- ly realized though that the roof was on fire and securing the key ran to box 9, corner of Concord street, and pulled the alarm, which was promptlyrespond- ed to by the arrival of both hose car- riages. Connections were made with near-by hydrants, but no water was turned on. The fire caught from one of the lines used in heating “slugs” for the finishing room. It was only last Saturday that the flues had been newly covered. It is believed that the pipes leading therefrom became Overheated and communicated with the wooden roof of the drying-room building, which is of brick, the main .actory be- ing of wood. But for the prompt action of Mr. Fox and others, a serious fire would no doubt have resulted. The damage, which Mr. Sherwood without Special examination, estimates at less than $1,000, was mostly by water. A large number of hats in process of manu- facture were thoroughly saturated with water. The floors of the trimming and finishing rooms were thoroughly del- uged. While Old Well truck was on the way to the scene, the driver Of Miller do Semple’s delivery wagon, stopped and kindly offered to assist in getting the truck to the fire. Connection was made with the wagon. The horse started up suddenly and the strain being too much he jumped clear out of theharness and ran for a block or two when he was stopped. , Superintendent Sherwood telegraphed for J. C. Wilson of the firm and expected him here at noon. The loss is covered by insurance. 0 o o»————————<» .Marvelous Speed- The most wOnderful record made by any wheelman, 1n the great Relay Bi- cycle race from Hartford to New York, was made by Clinton Seele , of N or- walk. in his relay run fromt e Mahack- emo Hotel to Port Chester. From South Norwalk he wheeled up over high Flax and Itoton hills. the two equally steep hills just east and west Of Stamford, and the still larger and more formida- ble “Put’s Hill” at Greenwich. N O such heavy grades were encountered , any- where else on the entire line from Hart- ford down to New York as these that came within Seeley’s run. He left South Norwalk at 12.07 and reached Stamford in 277,1 minutes. Here, at Stamford, he was to have given over his dispatch to Keeler, but being still fresh he kept on, telling Keeler to follow, and as soon as he overtook him, he would hand over the message to him. Seeley got to Port Chester at 1.10, and several min- utes before Keeler’s arrival. Seeley never left his weeel once between N or— walk and Port Chester, and when the terrible grades on his run are taken in- tothe account,it was the most wonderful road performance ever yet made on a bicycle. This being the fact it is sur- prising that no mention Of Seeley is made in the Sun’s report of the race, although in part accounted for, in that the Sun’s account, contrary to its usual custom, was the poorest and most Inac- curate of any published. The C. N. G. at Chlcago. At the National Guard convention in Chicago last week General Embler was appointed a member Of the committee to draft and present to Congress a bill, calling for an appropriation for the transportation of the militia of different states to Chicago in 1893, and the cost of their sustenance duringa two week’s encampment there. The encampment, General Embler thinks, will be held in August. He sug- gests that the C. N. G. hold no encamp- ment at Niantic that year and that the state pay the men part, if not all, of their time spent in Chicago. There will be at least 90,000 National guards- men and 10,000 regulars in camp there. “There should be an inspector ap- pointed for the big encampment. said GeniEmblerISunday night. He should be a man of wide experience in mili- tary matters and should tell us whether our work is creditable, whether we are doing any good. I am sure the soldiers of the National guard throughout the country would be glad to have their work criticised. The men could have an opportunity for grand maneuvers similar to those the army of France held last year. and there would be other benefits derived from the pro- posed encampment.” A Fool and His Money Soon Part. How true some of those old sayings are. A friend of mine paid a travelling quack $50 to cure him of Scrofula,from which he had suffered two years. He gave him a bottle of stuff which only When he went to consult him the ‘second time, the quack had left for. parts unknown. Upon learning the circumstances I rec-- ommended Sulphur Bitters. Five bot~ tles cured him—Editor Journal and Courier. Stolen Horas Recovered. Chief Vollmer, of South Norwalk. is gaining uite a reputation in the cap- ture of orse thieves. On Saturday last he saw an advertisement in a New York paper, which read in effect, that retail, slim man about 35 years of age, had,on Tuesday,Oct.27th, stolen a brown horse, clipped, split ear, long tail, black points, 15 hands high, and a black spring-top bug , from a Horse and Carriage Loan 0. in New York c1ty. for the return of whichaliberal reward was ofl’ered. B some means he got a “pointer” that ed him to believe that he could place the :horse. Monday morning, an agent of the owners of the horse came to this city, and incompany with the Chief drove to South Wilton, where the horse was found and identi- fied as the one stolen. Enough infor- mation was also gained to warrant the belief that the man wanted was one, George Starr, in the emplo of Dr. Robertson, of New York, w 0 has a summer residence in Wilton. Chief ‘9 ollmer secretedhimselfin a barn near where Starr lived, and for two long hours waited his arrival. At last, how- ever, the fellow came in sight, gomg towards his home, and inafew moments more he was a prisoner. He was taken home and in compan with his wife was driven to this city, w ere he was placed in one of the cages at the station-hence. He had previously, though, confessed his guilt. It seems that some time ago Starr had given it out that he .had a fine turnout in New Jersey, which he wished to dispose of, and one da last week he gave it to be understoo that he was going after the team and left town. A day or two later he returned withthe team, which as it now proves, he simply hired from the stable above mentioned. On the way to Wilton with the turnout he found time to cut the horse’s main and tail. Failing to sell the horse, which with the carriage and harness was valued at 8400, he bor- rowed $50 from Hubbard Blakeslee and gave his note and the horse as security for the payment of the loan, also authorizing Mr. Blakeslee to sell the horse, promising him a large commis- sion if a sale was consummated. Starr’s wife, when she learned of her husband’s guilt, was very hysterical. She stated that the had been married scarcely a year. 1‘ is is the same Starr who some four weeks ago, recklessly ran is horse into a we on on West ave- nue in which was seate Mrs. EliNorth- rop, throwing her out, she sustaining injuries which have kept her confine to the house ever since, and for which injuries she has brought a suit for dam- ages against Starr’s employer, Dr. Rob- ertson Starr says that he will not go into New York state without a requisition. As to whether Governors Hill and Bulkeley will Sign such requisition re- mains to be seen. If not the fellow will have to be released. He no doubt flat- ters himself that release will be the ulti- matum. Much credit is due Chief Vollmer on the clever capture of the fellow. Serious Accident. Mrs. Daniel S. Osterbanks, who re- sides on Henry street. met with a Seri- ous and painful. injury at her home, on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Osterbanks, who is a lady 71 years of age, went down cellar about 2 o’clock, carrying a step-ladder with her, with which to reach something in the cellar. She had returned, put the step-ladder in its place and stood at the head of the cel- lar stairs trying to reach for a mop, which is kept behind the door, when she was taken with a dizzy turn, lost her balance and fell headlong down the stairs. The family were all up-stairs at the time, and the noise of the fall was not heard. Mrs. Osterbanks crawled to the top of the stairs where her ‘screems were heard by Mrs. Warren Osterbanks, Mrs. William McCormick and Mrs. Brown, who were up-stsirs, and hastened to her aid and picked her up. She was tenderly cared for, and put to bed, and Dr. Dexter Hitchcock summoned, who found that her left wrist was broken, her hip badly bruised and her head injured. As Mrs. Oster- banks has been poorly for some time, it was feared that the shock of the acci- dent might terminate fatally, but at thils writing she is a little more comfort- a e. Oystermen Organize. The recently organized Oystermen"s association held another meeting in Bridgeport Tuesday night, and elected ti 9 following Officers : President, Capt. McGuinness, of Stamford; vicepresi- dent, C. J. Nash, of Black Rock; sec-~ rotary, William A. Lewis, of Bridge- port; treasurer, Benjamin Wilmot, of Greenwich ; eXecutive committeeCapt. Lawson, of Norwalk, Benjamin F. Palmer, of Sound Beech, C. J. Nash, of Bridgeport, Gilbert Hopkins, of Mianus, John McNeil, of New Haven. Every large oyster growing town in the state is represented in the board of ofiicers. At the meeting a com; munication was read from the Shell-fish Commissioners intimating their desire to be present at the next meeting. A committee was appointed to meet the Commissioners at the train and escort them to the hall. Meetings will soon be started in Nor- wall; and every oysterman should at- ten . #V Av 7‘ Wllton's Forest Fire. The fire that has devasted nearly the whole area of Huckleberry Hills'woods has about exhausted itself. It is ascer- tained to have been caused by boys kindling a fire to burn squirrels out of their hole. It is estimated to have spread over from two to three thousand acres, and is the most extensive and destructive forest conflagration ever known in Fairfield county. The dam age to cord wood and young timber has amounted to a large sum. "_-.—_... Valuable Horse Injured.
