Henry Cockefur, the 8 year old boy who stole Miss Peaslee’s horse some time since, was at his old trick again Sunday evening. About 7.15 o’clock, Hiram Csnfield, the shoemaker, hitched his horse in front of the Congregational Church and attended the service at the Baptist Church. ‘ When he came out the horse was not to be found, and thinking that he had in some way gotten unhitched,and started for home, he sent his son to his home in Silver Mine to see if the horse was there. ' Young Canfield returned about 10.30, and reported that the horse was not there, and so the police were notified. Chief Gormley, who attended with the other firemen the services at the Baptist Church last evening, noticed young Cockefur standing outside the door of the church, and when the theft was reported, he immediately suspic- Ioned that the boy was the culprit. Ofiicer Morehouse was started after the thief in the direction of Westport, and Ofiicer Howard started for South Norwalk. Howard was the lucky man and about 12 o’clock found young Cockefur with the team near the Union School. He was almost buried out of sight under the big carriage robe and when questioned by the officer said that he was “only ridin around for fun.” . He was broug t up town‘ and placed In the lock-up, and the horse tale-n to Dunn’s stable for the night. Le was as cool as a cucumber, and whenplaced In the dark cell, did not complain a partlcle, but cuddled up on the bed and was soon fast asleep. On Monday morning he was before J ustlce Coolidge and pleaded guilty, through his guardian, to theft. When he was before the samejustice for steel- Ing Miss Peaslee’s horse, sentence was suspended for thirty days, and the boy’s father agreed to take care ofhim, but as he has been unable to do any- thlng w1th the boy. and we. nted him sent somewhere where he would be taken care of, the Justice sentenced hIm_ to the Reform School at Meriden, during his minority. ___.+,.. __. __ Grief that is Grief. “The baby is dead.” What a world of pathos there is in those few short words, and what a pang It sends through the hearts of the ab sent members of a family wherein there Is a cherub of an infant brother or Sister to receive such and intelli- gence as that the little loved one is no more.

Wheeler, which had its origin seventeen years ago, was finished Friday in the Superior Court, the plaintiff being awarded $5,300 dam- ages and the costs of the case. The last phase of this case was _a de- murrer filed by the plaintiff’s claiming that the defenses set forth by the de- fendant were not sufficient and this was sustained by Jud c J. M. Hall, leavmg the defendant wit out any defense ex- cept to have the actual value of Mrs. Georgia V. Alden’s interest In the dis- puted property assessed. Counsel In the case agreed to have this assessment made upon the basis of the value as given in testimony formerly before the court. This Judge Hall did, and award- ed the plaintifi' 355,300 and costs. This case originated in 1874. Stephen Alden was the owner of the Compo es- tate in Westport. He subsequently lost all his propert . To his dauohter, Har- riet A. Birdsal , he gave a bill of sale of the personal property on the estate, which was valued at $30,000. After- ward Mr. Alden married a second time. his wife being Georgia V. Alden, and to her he subsequently executed a bill of sale of the same property which he had given to his daughter. She also was given the real estate. Mrs. Alden then took possession of the house and Mrs. for the recovery of the personal pro- perty. On a suit of replevin she would have been required to give a bond of $50.00.), twice the value of the property in question. The other was chosen, as she could not give this bond. She abandoned the property to Mrs. Alden and then attached it as of the estate of Mrs. Alden. Mrs. Alden secured a dis- SOlution of the attachment by substi- tuting a bond of $14,000, Elonzo S. Wheeler of Westport, and Jonathan Godfrey of Fairfield, becoming sure- ties. The case was tried in 1880 and judgment to recover $19,000 was award~ ed Mrs. Birdsall. At that time a search was made for Mrs. Alden to demand payment but she had disappeared, and suit was then broughtagainst the bonds- men, E. S. Wheeler and Jonathan God- frey, but before its trial the latter died. In 1883 by direction of the Superior Court a verdict was rendered by the jury for Mrs. Alden to recover $8,500. The defendant appealed to the Supreme Court and the judgment was upset and reversed. The second trial in 1888 re- sulted in a judgment for the defendant, and the plaintiff appealed claiming that Judge Phelps erred in his instruction to the jury. The verdict was again re- versed. ' The case was again tried last wmter and the jury disagreed. Preparations were made to go to trial again next month but in order to avoid the ex- pense of another trial, the counsel made negotiations which resulted In the settlement. Since the litigation begun there have been three sets of lawyers engaged in it. The original counsel were W. K. Seeley of Bridgeport, and Calvin G. Childs of Stamford, the latter for the defendant. . , The counsel by whom the settlement was made were attorneys Judson and H. S. Sanford for the plaintiff, and Fessenden and Goodwin Stoddard for the defendant. + About Sealsklns. ——W. B. Hall & Co., of Bridgeport, have almost a national reputation for good fitting cloth cloaks and Fine Alaska seal jackets. Genuine Alaska seals are growing higher and scarcer and the above firm are still selling at the old prices. We copy from a con- temporary the following about seal- skins: “There are a great many sealskin garments worn in Bridgeport, and the sales each year are very large, this really being considered as it truly is, a great market for fine skins. Within the past few days telegrams have been published in newspapers all over the country, that the October sale of skins in London brought lower prices than in the season last year, and it is true. This, of course, gave the impressmn that sealskins were going to be cheaper and the evident effect was intended to restrict the sale. A Daily Union re- porter, to get at the actual conditionof facts, as a matter of pretty general In- .terest, had an interview yesterday af-_ ternoon with Mr. Hall, of the firm of W. B. Hall & 00., one of the 1ar est dealers in furs in the state. This rm have handled furs in connection with their immense dry goods business for many years and are thoroughly posted They had seen the telegrams published and Mr. Hall said : “The October sales alluded to are really made at lower prices, as stated but the fact, as is Well known to all dealers, is that these skins are very largely made up of animals caught out of season and bypoaching vessels. The condition of the fur is what makes the price and it is reported that this is poor with the catch sold. “Here are yesterday’s cable advices from one of the largest fur exporting houses in London, England,” contin- ued Mr. Hall. “Alaska seals, October sales 10 per cent. lower than October, 1890, or equal to 75 per cent. advance on January sales of this year. Copper Island seals, of which there were offered 5,800 last year’s skins of much inferior quality than usual average, sold 7% per cent. higher than March sale of 1891. “Now,” went on Mr. Hall. “we have other telegrams from other heavy fur dealers confirming the above condi- tions. I am convinced that seals Will be considerably higher next January than they are now, or were early this year. The very conditions noted were apparent to us last January. We bought three times the quantity of seal garments that we ever purchased be- fore in one season and we fortunately secured a superb lot. We Would gladly duplicate our order now at the same price if such a thing were possible. An investment in a seal garment at the prices we are selling them is, and can- not help but be, a. magnificent one. This may sound like advertising, but it’s a fact, all the same. Inferior seal skins are like inferior goods In any- things else. Who wants them at any price ? The telegrams published about seal skins being lower are en- tirely misleading. All who contem- plate purchasing a sealskin garment Enay safely do so with big odds In then ever.” , Sixty Thousand Dollars Offered for Arlon. EVer since Senator Stanford’s. two- year-old colt Arion trotted a mile In 2.10% numerous offers of purchase have been made to him. One telegraphic bid was received by Senator Stanford offering-$60,000 for thecolt, but a re- ply was returned to the effect that $60,- 000 would not buy one-half of Anon. Birdsall had but two courses open to her ‘ ._J 3 Church Servlce at Somers. A N orwalk party went, after the New Canaan centennary observancesMonday morning, to St. Luke’s church, Somers, in which church at 3; o’clock p. m.. Rt. Rev. Dr. Henry C. Potter held a con- firmation. Evening prayer was read by the rector of the parish, Rev. R. C. Russell, assisted by Rev. Mr. Selleck of Norwalk. The members of the class were then confirmed. which office was followed by a masterly discourse from Blshop Potter, based upon the second lesson for the evening. The Bishop was most happy, and his words made and left a deep impression upon the minds of those who listened to his fervent elo- quncee. During the pa st week St. Luke’s lost a prominent member of the parish and one of Wide Westchest-er county celeb- rity, Hart Purdy, Esq., of the founder family of Purdy’s Station, N. Y. For the past two years Mr. Purdy has suf- fered from lung difficulty and his life has been prolonged through the most tender and watchful ministrations of devoted ones. He leaves a widow and four ehlldren to succeed to his honors and possessions. < O..' Honored Old Age. Mr. Horace Staples, -of Westport, taking advantage of the warm, sunny day on Saturday, drove over here and made a_ call on General Couch and then, as Is hlS wonted custom, called at the Office of the GAZETTE, and although in hls ninetieth year, he came as Spryly up the stairs as most men of sixty. His mlnd Is apparently as clear and alert as It was some seventy years ago, when he first became a subscriber to the old GAZETTE and he now takes as lively an Interest in our national affairs, and especially our finances. as ever. Hisi a beautiful and honored old age, and may the present generation rise up and call him blessed. COO— Fire Bug Again. Another unsuccessful attempt was made during Monday night to setfire to the out-house in the rear of No. 41 Main street. A large amount of paper and straw was thrown inside of the place through a window and then set a-fire, but as in the former attempt, the stuff burned itself out without doing any damage to the building. It is very evident that somebody wants the out- house removed,and it should be, but by setting fire to it the adjoining property is endangered. and we have no hesi- tency in saying that the Board of Health would remove it for the asking. op» . Barn Burned. £3 Monday evening about 9.15 the large barn belonging to David Wakeman in Black Rock caught fire and was burned to the ground, owing to the total ab- sence of water. Over 40 tons of hay and a large num- ber of agricultural implements were in the barn. Several horses were rescued with great difficulty. The barn was comparatively new and was 135 feet in length. The fire is supposed to be incendiary as two suSpicious looking individuals were seen loitering about early in the evening. Loss about $3,000. The Clinton Election. In the Clinton election case, heard Monday, Judge Phelps found that the republican ballots were illegal for hav- ing blanks after certain offices and the democratic ballots for using the word “committee” of the town deposit fund in place of the word agent. The re- publican candidate for first selectman, E. W..\Vellman, was found to have one more vote than the democratic candi- date, Samuel Wilcox, who contested the election. A decision against the plaintiff must be given. By agreement the case was reserved for the Supreme Court. " Riverside Cemetery. Sculptor Bates has just erected a beautiful granite monument on the family lot of Warden-elect Kimmey in Riverside Cemetery. Mr. George R. Cowles has purchased wo of the most desirable lots in those beautiful grounds. They are at the apex of the round hill at the southwest side of the cemetery. Mr. Robert Van Buren has purchased two very sightly and prettily located lots in this beautiful garden of the dead. Severely Injured. A horse belonging to Elmer Miller, a tea pedler of East Norwslk, became frightened at a piece of tin roofing which covered a cow shed, alongside of a house on Spring Hill, about 1 o’clock on Tuesday, and completely demolished the wagon and threw out Stephen D. Byxbee, Jr., Of South Norwalk, who was in the wagon, in. ju'ring him severely and breaking his collar bone. Byxbee was attended by Dr. Phinney, and taken to his home in acoach. . Another Post Office Robbed. The post Office at Seymour was .vis- ited by burglars Monday morning, who blew open the safe and carried off $150 worth of stamps, $16 in “shin- plasters,” and some valuable papers be- longing to Mr. Tucker, the ex-post- master. It is believed that the burg- lars are the same as those who wrecked the Highwood post office in Hamden last week, for their operations were identical. .-. ..--_'-,.«,_,____ _H__ Obituary. JOHN H.
