Since the observations taken at the Dudley Observatory,Albany,Saturday, of the sun and the passing of the aurora, there has been an outbreak of another group of about twenty small spots, which are spread over a consid- erable area on the sun’s disk. The original spot is rapidly approaching the edge of the sun. The several groups of smaller spots show the same tendency, noted Sunday, of. ap- proaching each other, and there seems to be a strong probability that the spot will remain until the next return, four- teen or fifteen days hence. The main spot has presented much activity, and the larger of the nuclei has changed somewhat since Saturday. The penumbra has materially length- ened, but on the other hand is also narrower, so that the area of it has not been affected, the extreme distance across the spot being about 90,000 miles. Murphy to be Brought Back. After Michael Murphy had been taken to jail for stealing a coat from in front of Taft Bros. storé, remnants of a coat which Patrick Blake said had been stolen from him Saturday even- ing, by Murphy, and of which no trace could be found, at the time of the trial, were discovered stuffed into a hole in the wall of the cell which Murphy 00- cupied at the lock-up Saturday and Sunday nights. The remainder of the cOat ‘had probably been burned in the stove, which is in the large room ad- joining the cell. Murphy was also ac- cused at the trial of stealing Blake’s coat, but this he stoutly denied. He was sentenced to 30 days for stealing Taft Bros. coat and an additional 30 days for drunkenness, besides which he will have to serve nearly thirty days more in payment of the costs of the case. This will make in the neigh- borhood of ninety days, After that time is up he will be re-arrested and brought to N orwalk and tried on the additional charge of stealing Blake’s coat. —~«~-——--———< o >-———-—-———-— o A Magnificent Display. The most» brilliant aurora borealis that has been seen in the skies of this latitude since 1882 lighted up the north- ern heavens for nearly an hour Satur- day night. It appeared a little after 7 o’clock. With. the dark skies as a back- ground, On which its brilliant changes of color could be more vividly pic- tured, a series of, lights of surpassing beauty swept up as if from the bosom of the earth. From the western hori- zon the lights climbed until they al- most stretched up to the zenith. In breadth the brilliant picture extended from the northern to the southern heavens. ‘ For what seemed a 10mg time the ashes-of-roses colored light held its steady blaze, then it wavered. shook as a great curtain might, and in the folds bright shafts of white light shot up,,the black shadow disappeared, and the red burst up from all the north and streamed and flared into a fan of fire, the rim of which touched the North Star. Those persons who were out of doors forgot the cutting wind, and bound by its beauty, gave themselves up to watch- ing the display. Many mistook it at first for a big fire, but not for long.

Y., paid his aunt, wholives in West Nor- walk, a. visit last Sunday. Late in the evening he invited William 1' Billen-' styne to take a ride with him. Going to Solman’s stables he hired a “turn- out” for two hours.’ After driving about for perhaps an hour and a half he took Billenstyne home, telling .him he would drive back to the stables alone, but as subsequent events prove he did not do so. About 2 o’clock Mon- terday afternoon, Chief Vollmer was notified of the facts and he detailed . Oflicer Conley to hunt Miller and the team up, suggesting that he drive in the direction of Miller’s home. In- company with one of the employees Of the stables, he did so. On arriving in the vicinity of Vista,they apprehended the team, but in possession of another person than Miller. The party who had the turnout said that his own turn~ out had been taken from under a shed and the stolen one left in its place, and that he was then on the way to catch the party who had stolen his. team. Oflicer Conley took possession of Mr. Solman’s flirnout and returned to South Norwalk with it. , Chief Vollmer Mondaymorning be- thought himself that there was a pos- sibility of Miller’s returning to East Norwalk, and such proved to be the fact. The Chief went to the home of Miller’s aunt and foum’him in bed. He acted as if surprised, but dressed himself and accompanied the "arm of the law” to the station-house, where he was locked up. To 9. DAILY GAZETTE reporter Miller said: “I had no. intention of stealing Mr. Solman’s horse. After leaving my friend it occurred to me to drive to Vista, and I did so, putting up the horse in a friend’s stable. The next morning I drove to “Mud Pond” so called, about three miles north of the borough of New Canaan, where I went into a saloon kept by a man named Piatt. I became very much drunk. About three o’clock I went out and by mistake got into a wagon owned by a man named Gilbert. He was in the saloon at the time. I did not discover my mistake until I reached Wilton, and then concluded to drive on to East Norwalk, put the horse in a stable and thismorning explain matters to Mr. Solman and settle up. Of course I did wrong, but if they don’t make it worse than what it really is, I don’t feel so very bad. I wish that I could see Mr. Gilbert. What is Mr. Solman’s charge against me? Did I act much like a thief? If I had wanted to steal the horse would I have come back here, or wouldn’t I have tried to sell it.” He confessed that it was his intention of visiting New Haven this morning, but said that it was his inten- tion of adjusting matters with Mr. Sol- man before so doing. Miller is the same young man who some weeks since stole John H. Ferris’ horse while it stood near Mr. Ferris’ Office in South Norwalk, and who gave the officers such a lively chase “over the hills towards York state” before he was captured. For that offence he es- caped with a light punishment, but this time he will no doubt receive the full penalty. ' John S. Edwards Of Adams, N.

' .. WEEKLY - NOR'WALKE- GAZETTE. A Sneak Thief Caught. About 11 o’clock last Sat day evening as George Taft was prepar g to close his clothing store ,on Wall street, his attention was directed to a stranger who had walked up and down in front of the store several times. Going to the door he discovered that a leather coat which had hung outside the store was missing. Taft at once thought of the stranger and as he was walking in the direction of Mill Hill, he started on arun after him. As soon as the stranger saw that he was being pur- sued, he started on a run and did not stop until he landed in the tramp room at the lockup. Chief DeForest had been notified in the meantime and ap- peared on the scene, and as Taft iden- tified his man, the stranger was locked up. The coat was not found on him, however, and a search was made for his “pal." About this time an Italian walked by Taft’s store with the coat on his arm and Seymour Taft, who was standing in front of the store, asked him where he got it. The Italian said that he had just purchased the coat from a man at the corner of Wall and Water street, and had paid $1.60 for it. He looked up the street and said that the man was then standing in front of the Central National Bank and to- gether with Seymour, he went back to where the man was standing. Officer Martin came along just at this time, and the man was put under arrest, as the Italian identified him as the one from whom he had purchased the coat. The thieves were evidently profession- als, and after the first man had stolen the coat he handed it to his pal and .then turned around and started in the other direction, while the pal walked up Wall street to Water street where he sold the coat to the Italian. In court Mondaymorning the men gave their names as Michael _Murphy and Joseph Conway. Conway was from Milburn, Mass, and is an honorably discharged soldier. Murphy gave sev- eral different places as his residence but finally settled on Pasco, R. I. Both claimed not to know anything about stealing the coat, but it was proven that Murphy had been into Patrick Blake’s place on Water street with it on, and had also soldit to the Italian. Mr. Blake testified that Murphy had also stolen his coat Saturday evening, but nothing could be found of it. What became of it is a mystery, as Officer Martin testified that Murphy had it on his arm when he arrested him, but he did not have it when he appeared in court, nor was it at the lock up. Jus- tice Coolidge, after hearing the evi- dence, sentenced Murphy to 60 days in jail and the costs of the case, and as there was no evidence against Conway, he was discharged. A bottle Of whiskey which was found on Murphy, was thrown into the river by the Justice. After Murphy was taken back‘ to the lock-up a search of the place was made and pieces of Blake’s overcoat were found stuffed into several rat-holes in the room. It is probable that the re- mainder was burned. -« -~——————~< O->——-—-~——————- Walnut Leaf Hair Restorer Restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray'hair to its nat- ural color.

To Beat M’Carthy. ”My first case,” said a well-known Harlem lawyer, “was an unique one. An Irish family of the name of Mur- phy, living up on the rocks in one of the fast disappearing remnants of Shantytown, were fraudulently evicted from their tumbledown cabin by a ras- cally landlord. The practical head of the family was the wife, and she deter- mined to fight the matter out. “For three weeks the .. Murphys, children, furniture and all, lived in the back yard of their former home with nothing between them and heaven but a flimsy tent made of old sheets, while Mrs. Murphy tramped around town their case for nothing. “One day she charged into my office and told me her story, with thestereo- typed exactness that comes from fre- quent repetition. The case seemed to be a worthy one, and as I wasn’t over- burdened with work I agreed to take it free of charge and reinstate the Mur- phys in their dilapidated homestead. "She wanted to get out a free sum- mons against the landlord and waive severalpther small but necessary ex- penses, but I told her it would be more politic to pay thesu, as the total would not amount to $5. “ ‘Foive dollars!” she cried; ‘divil a cint have the Murphys seen since me husband losht his job wan month ago, and the lasht blissed thing thim pawn- brokers ’11 take they’ve got already. ’ “When I offered to loan her the money she went into such a rage that I apologized abjectly. - " ‘Be the powers,’ she exclaimed, af- ter pacing the floor for about ten min- utes, ‘I forgot wan thing! ' Wait, mis- ter, an’ I’ll be back in an hour.’ “She kept her word, and just as I was closing up shop for the day she re- appeared with her hands fullvof silver, which she poured upon my. desk. "’ ‘Mrs.‘Murphy,’ I queried, ‘where did you get this ? Ithought your last valuable had been pawned ?’ ' “ ‘Yis,’ she replied, with a gleam of‘ triumph in her eyes, ‘iverything excipt the goat. I tuk auld Nanny, whose milk me childer has lived upon, over to the Kenneys, and they lint me four dollars and ninety-sivin cints on her.
