When James Lester, who runs a milk route, and lives near the Chapel at Broad River, returned Monday :inorn- ing from delivering milk to. his cus- tomers, he found that his trunk which he kept in his sleeping room, and which contained 390 in bills had been unlocked and the money taken. Lester left the house about 3 o’clock‘in the morning, as is his usual'custom, and when he went out the trunk was se- curely locked and the money was in- side of it. When he returned he had occasion to go to the trunk and found it still locked, but when it was opened the money was not there. A family named Dyer live in the upper part_of the house, but they had heard no nOise about the place after Lester left the house. A bag which contained $10 in silver and which was in the same room as the trunk, was not touched. Lester was formerly in the employ of Miss F. M. Peaslee, as a driver, but some time ago gave up that position and started the business in which he is now on- gaged. The loss coming at this time is a severe blow to Mr. Lester and it is hoped that his friends Will help him out in his trouble. The robbery was undoubtedly the work of some one who was familiar with Lester’s movements and knew where he kept his money, and the fact that the trunk was un- locked and then again locked shows that some one knew the exact kind of a key that was needed to unlock the trunk. An unsuccessful attempt was also made early the same morning by burglars to enter the store of Kellogg & Simpson, on the New Canaan road, and a short distance below Lester’s residence. When the store was opened it was discovered that the panel in the front door had been cut with a chisel, but the burglars had evidently been frightened off, just as they were about to enter, as the door was in such a con- dition that one more stroke on the panel with the chisel would surely have broken it in. -____...._____4+ Morell Mackenzie Dead. Sir Morell Mackenzie the eminent physician, died Wednesday night at his city residence, Harley street, Cavendish square, of London, syncope, resulting from an attack of influenza. Sir Morell Mackenzie was one of the most distinguished of English throat specialists. He achieved much prominence from the fact that he was delegated by Queen Victoria to attend upon Frederick III., Emperor of Ger- many, for several months during his illness froman affection of the throat. Although the Emperor’s ailment ter- minated fatally, it was generally ac- knowledged that Sir Morrell performed Ihlel operation of tracheotomy success- 11 y. . ,. The cancer wasremoved from the Emperor’s throat and "a tube inserted. through which the patient breathed for months. After the Emperor’s death Sir Morell’s methods were se- verely criticised by the German physi— cians, who were somewhat jealous of him. The German view' of the case, however, threatenedtoigain ground in England. and in order, to defend him- self from the attacks Sir Morell wrote abook in which he gave lengthy ar- guments in favor of the methods he had pursued. In order to refute the attacks of his maligners in the nick of time,he wrote the entire volume _in the space of six weeks, working at it day and night. When published it had the desired effect, and his reputation in England rose higher than ever. Sir Morell was in the entire confi- dence of Emperor Frederick to the last, and in the physician’s house in London can be seen many tokens of the esteem in which the Emperor held his medical adviser. One particularly valuable souvenir is a scarf pin set_ in fifty brilliant diamonds, representing the English royal crown in gold, given by Victoria on a jubilee to the Crown Prince, and bequeathed by the latter to Sir Morell. _ When the slights cast upon Sir Mor- ell’s skill as a throat specialist were effectually cleared up Queen Victoria knighted him. He was about fifty-two years of age, and is survived by a widow. three daughters and tw0 sons. One of the sons, Kenneth, is followmg his father’s profession, and is now studying in London hospitals. The other, H. H. Morell, is an actor. His three daughters are very accomplished. having learned professions, one being a journalist, and acting as London correspondent of an American news- paper. Dr. Mackcnzie’s summer home was at Wargrave, where he owned a. pretty but old fashioned villa, just on the bank of the Thames. He was in_ the habit of spending most of his leisure hours there, and often entertained some of the most distinguished people of London as his guests. 40>— The Lewrsboro Church. Mrs. Gould Rockwell, of Ridgefield, has this past week been in Norwalk ar- ranging to settle the Lewisboro church debt. Work on the new edifice will proba- bly be commenced in the spring, and when completed the structure, because of its elevated site, can be seen by glass from Norwalk. A heavy Lenox. Mass.. and New York city property holder has just purchased a fine tract, beginning at the corner opposite the the St.John’s church lot of 1776 and extending nearly to the beautiful sheet of water known as Cross Lake, upon which one or more villas are to be erected, while the sale of the commanding height at the head of Hanford’s Ridge is also reported. Ridgefield thus appears to be lapping over into Westchester county. The Lewisboro parish is a stretching one. Starting at Vista in the, south-east and proceeding to Golden’s Bridge annd the vicinity of the Lake Mahopac country on the north-west, its rector, in visiting its extremes, traverses a distance al- most equal. in miles, to the dis- tance between Darien and Strat- ford. The outlook for the new church is now highly encouraging, and it would seem that the Salem la- bors of old Dr. Ebenezer Dibble, the ante-revolutionary rector of St. Paul’s, are bringing forth fruit. Mr. Selleck hopes to place 'a memorial of this vete- ran soldier of the cross in the new church. I ARRESTED III NEW YORK. A Norwalk Boy Caught in the Act of Opening a Neighbor’s Trunk. Held at the Point of a Pistol. Frederick McLean, twenty years old, a medical student, and a son of Dr. John W. _McLean, of Norwalk, is locked in_a cell in the Harlem prison, charged With attempted burglary. Young McLean lived on the top floor of No. 124 East 102d street, with his married brother, C. J. McLean. In the opposite apartments live Herman Miller, a carpenter, and his young bride. Miller is a hard working, in- dustrious man who has saved consider- able money. A month ago Miller went to Europe and brought over a girl, who was to be- come his Wife. He purchased suflicient furniture for their apartments and af- ter the wedding began business for him- self as a carpenter and builder. He kept his savings locked in a trunk. His Wife, whose parents in Germany are wealthy, had a large sum of money and some jewelry stored in her trunk. A week after they were married Mr. Miller and his wife locked their apart- ments and visited some friends in Brooklyn. On their return they found one of the trunks broken open. pocket book containing $10 and a gold watch and train, which was a wedding present to Mr. Miller from his father- in-law in Germany, had been stolen. The doors of the apartments had not been tampered with. It was at once suspected that the thief had a key to the lock. The case was reported to the police of the East Eighty-eighth street station. An investigation led the police to be- lieve that the burglar was not far away and that he knew the premises and the movements of the occupants. Thevin- structed Miller to watch and wait. For a week Miller watched with a re- volver near by ready for the burglar. About noon yesterday Mrs. Miller went out and her husband went to his hiding place behind the bedroom door, where he waited with a loaded .38 calibre re- volver in his hand until two o’clock. Suddenly Miller heard light, hurried footsteps in the hall. There was a jing- ling of keys, and one was inserted into the lock of the bedroom door. For several seconds the key was worked in the door, and all at once it ’ turned, the bolt clicked, and the door swung open, admitting young McLean. » On tiptoe McLean walked to one of the trunks, unstrapped the canvas cover and put his hand into his hip pocket as though to take out some keys, when Miller jumped from his hiding place, and pointing the revolver at young Mc- Lean’s head, cried out: "Hold up your hands, or I’ll shoot I” McLean was dumfounded. He stag- gered to his feet and throwing up both hands, implored Miller not to shoot. “I only wanted a glass of water,” said McLean. With the revolver still pointed at McLead’s head Miller led the way to the kitchen. Drawing a glass of water he handed it to McLean. “Now sit down on that chair until I call 1101p. If you. move I‘ll shoot," nah]. Miller. Miller then went to the window and fired four shots out of the window and shouted for help. There was great excitement in the street. Fully three dozen persons ran up to the top floor to Miller’s apart- ments. Among them was Park Police- man Frank E. Smith, who lives in the adjoining house. Smith took McLean to the East Eighty-eighth street police station and then to the Harlem Police Court. When arraigned before Justice Welde the prisoner would say nothing. His counsel, Harry Thompson. stated that young McLean went into Miller’s apart- ments to get a glass of water, as in his rooms opposite the cold water was not running. McLean was held in 32,000 bail for examination last Monday. ' It- will be remembered that about three years ago young McLean was ar- rested for stealing $17 from Attorney E. M. Lockwood, of Norwalk, while the latter was at the Y. M. C. A. gym- nasium, and when captured confessed his guilt and returned the money. Mr. Lockwood refused to prosecute after the return of the money, but Dr. Mc- Lean, his father, insisted and young McLean was sent to the Meriden re- form school from which place he short- ly afterward escaped. A short time af- ter McLean’s return to N orwalk, a Mr. Wheeler, of South Norwalk,complained to the police that he had been robbed. Suspicion pointed to McLean who had been in Wheeler’s place previous to the robbery, and he was again arrested and confessed. Part of the money stolen from Wheeler was found on the prison- er, which was returned to the owner to- gether with a watch, which the prison- er offered in lieu of the money missing. The watch was afterwards identified as the property of J. M. Benedict, the newsdcaler, whose place had been eu- tered and robbed. Young McLean was immediately re-arrested for stealing and sent to Bridgeport jail for 60 days. After his release he returned to town, and was often seen about the streets riding a broncho. ' Dr. J. \V. McLean, the young man’s father, informed 3. DAILY GAZETTE rep- resentative this morning that he did not propose to assist the young man in best to make something out of him without success, and his only hope now was that if there was any ood in him it would be brought out y the New York prison authorities. ~———»<+ A New Bridge. A bill has been introduced in the New York legislature giving the New York Central and the New York,_ New Haven & Hartford railroads permission to build a new bridge over the Harlem river at Fourth avenue. The new bridge is to be 20 feet above highwater mark. It will do away with agood deal of the present annoyance. to travel caused by the frequent opening of the drawbridge to let tug boats through. The new draw will not be opened ex- cept when sailing vessels have to pass through. Tow boats plying on the riv- or will be obliged to have jointed smoke stacks, _which can be lowered on the deck while passing under the bridge, the same as London tow boats on the Thames. Work on the new bridge Will be commenced as soon as the bill pass- es. It is expected that it can be com- pleted in a year. ———————-—--< -o->—-— The condition of Cyrus "W. .Field continues to improve. and he is re- garded as entirely out of danger. his present trouble, as he had tried his.
