Oui- Pension Roll.
One year ago there were 676,160
names on our pension roll. By the
close of the present fiscal year, ending
With the present month, there will be
about 878,000 , names on the pension
roll, or quite as many as the entire
force of Grant’s armies at the close of
the war. '
. We are now issuing new pensions at
the rate of nearly or qnite 20,000 per
month, and by the close of the coming
fiscal year the pension roll will reach
1,000,000, with the probability that that
number will be exceeded. In short,
we are likely soon to have on our pen-
sion roll more names than were on the
entire army roll when Lee surrendered
at Appomattox. '
Placed Under Restraint.
Judge Woodward Monday granted
an order to . Deputy Sheriff Toner to
place John Bartell,of Cranberry Plains,

boring under aggravated mental aber-
ration, drove his family out of doors,
and they, fearing for their lives, prayed
for his arrest. Late yesterday after-
noon Deputy Toner drove to the house
in a coach and found Bartell locked in
his room, and was denied admission.
Hefinally forced in the door and with
ass1stanee succeeded in getting Bartell
in the coach, and the party were driven
to Dr. Smith’s sanitarium, where Bar-
.tell . was ‘placed under the. doctor’s
charge.

Serious Loss.
Alady friend of Mr. and Mrs. 'Tal-
cotts, of Union Park, came over from
Bridgeport Saturday evening to spend
Eundaay with. them. She took the
orse cars up from the depot and got
off at the M. E. Church, passing up
Mott avenue on her way to the park.
In some unaccountable manner she
dropped her silk hand bag from her
arm, in which was all her money a
thousand-mile railroad ticket book,and
most serious of all,some articles of jew-
elry that were the gifts of deceased
friends and prized far beyond their in.
trinsic value. The bag was found by
Mrs. E. F. Gre ory and returned to
the owner Mon ay morning.

Sunday their boat, which had been
left on the shore, floated away With the

before he could reach it, and was sink-
ing for the third time when Professor

‘ A South Norwalk Laundnyman and

A Bill of Sale of :His'Laundry Left
‘ to the Deserted Wife.
Not to be outdone'bythe Borough in
the Hodshon case. South Norwalk now
comes forward with a. sensation of its
own. .' : .
Some three months ago B. Frederick
Askew, the well known laundryman of
Elizabeth street, advertised? for a laun-'
dress, and in answer to the advertise-
ment there appeared a dashing blonde
of short stature and handsome figure,
who was immediately engaged by
Askew. Soon afterthe appearanceof
this charming. laundress, who was
known as Mrs. Sallie Dox‘sie. there. was
trOuble in theAskew houSehold. It is
said that Mr. and Mrs: Askew had sev-
eral quarrels over . the dashing ' Sallie,
but to a ann'rrn representative Mrs-
Askew stated that there had been 2‘?“
quarrel between them.. ngs. _Doxs'1d‘
left the laundry after. completingfier
work last 'Monday and quietly residedi
at :her boarding“ place 'on Chestnut
street during the: week. Askew kept
along with his laundry business until
Saturday, when he toldflhis Wlfe, it is
said, that he-was‘goingon a vacatidn
and at the same-time handed her a bill
of, sale of the laundry, made out to her
upon a warrantee deed blank. At 6:20
Saturday evening Askew took the train
for New York and was seen on the
train by a well’known South Norwalk
lawyer. Shortly before _ Six. o’clock
the same evening Sallie left her
boarding place on Chestnut street with
bag and baggage, stating that she was
going on the 6:20 train to New York,
and there seems 'to be no doubt but
what the couple met and are now en-
j oying each other’s society.
Askew had a splendid business and ’ _
d are breaking: that your nervous system
was making considerable money, an
had but recently purchased a_ home‘of
his own, on which he wasmaking regu-
lar payments, and his friends are at a
loss to account forhis rash act. Mrs.
Doxsie was unknown before she came
to Norwalk in response to Askew’s ad.
vertisement, and it is not known wheth-
er she was a widow or not. In conver-
sation with a friend one day she said
that she had had a been for eight years
and that if he knew where she was he
would come to see her. If this state~
ment is true the old beauand Askew
may yet have an understanding be-
tween them over the dashing Sallie.
A GAZETTE representative called upon
Mrs. Askew Monday, to learn the par-
ticulars, but beyond stating that Askew
was away on a vacation and acknow-
ledging that one of the female em-
ployee had left and that she had a bill
of sale of the laundry, she would not
talk. ' She positively refused _to give
Mrs. Sallie Doxsie’s name, but in order
that the Gamma might be able to
give the full particulars,_the represent-
ative of the hustling daily put on his
war paint and was soon in possessmn of
the desired name and is able to give it
to the public to-day. Since the fact of
Askew’s disappearance has become
known many reports are heard of their
clandestine meetings and moonlight
walks, and from all accounts it would
seem as though the dashing blonde had
completely captivated the Willing
Askew. ,
Struck by a Locomotive.
Mr. George Ogden lives in Wilton
but teaches school at Georgetown, to
which place he rides every morning.
Tuesday, accompanied by his boy
and a hired man named Michael Brown,
he started for the school as usual. To
the wagon in which he was riding was
attached another which he was intend-
crossing the railroad tracks at what is
known as the John Brown crossing, the
forward wagon was struck by the loco-
motive of the express train due at Wil-
ton at 8.03. Both men and child were
together with the vehicles hurled into
the air, and it was thought had received
fatal injuries but remarkably enough,
beyond a‘few slight scratches to Mr.
Brown, no one was injured, but both
vehicles were wrecked. The horses
were loosed from the wagon by the col-'
lision and started on a run when. they
were stopped by Harry Olmstead.
Mrs. Ogden who lives near the crossing
heard the train stop and thinking that
as her husband had only left the house
a few moments before, that there_was a
possibility of his having met With ‘a
mishap, she hastened to the scene, only
to find that it was true. Fearing that
he had been killed she Swooned, and
had to be carried to her home. It was
indeed a very narrow escape for all.

Canary—DeLeon. ,
Some months since Mr..D. DeLeon,
of New York, had occasion to Visit In-
dependence, Kansas. .While there he
met and was introduced to Miss Bertha
Canary, a school teacher, and _fell in
love with her at once. The feeling was
reciprocal. After Mr. DeLeon’s return
to New York, he wrote to Miss Canary,
and the correspondence between the
two was continued until last Thursday,
when Miss Canary, came to Norwalk.-
and as Dre-arranged, to get married,
Rev.Harry C. Vrooman, of Cambridge,
Mass, an acquaintance of both, also
came here to tie the marital knot. A
niece of Miss Nellie St. John was ac-
quainted with Miss Canary and she
gained Miss St. John’s consent to have
the marriage take place at her home on
West avenue. On Friday, anent the
coming of the bridegroom, the minis-
ter and Miss Canary were shown the
beauties of the town by Miss St. John,
who took them to the difi‘erent points
of interest in’ a carria e, with all. of
which they were delig ted. During
the afternoon Mr. DeLeon . arrived.
The parlor at Miss St. J ohn’s home
was tastefully embellished w1th potted
plants, ferns and chaice flowers. At the
appointed hour Miss Canary and Mr.
DeLeon stepped under an arch, formed
from thousands of daisies, and the V18-
iting clergyman, in the presence of a
few persons,'spoke the Words that made
them man and Wlfe. A wedding feast
followed. Mr. and Mrs. DeLeon took
a train for a short wedding tour in the,
East, after which they will return to
NewYork, and the realities of house'-
keeping. It was a unique courtship re-
