Tried to Rob a Bank.
An attempt was made to rob the Nau-

morning. About 3:30 o’clock people liv-
ing in the vicinity of ’the “bank mac
n
saw a nummer of men run out of. the
bank and scatter in different direc-
tions. The robbers had entered the
building from the rear and had drilled
through the steel outside door of the
vault. This door is of‘an ordinary type
and did not prove much of an obstruc-
tion for “ twist” drills. The lock was
shattered by the quantity of powder
used, 'but beyond this and the loss of a
revolver which was taken from the of-
fice, the bank sufi’erslno less. On the

The Bold ThieVes Escape.
Early Sunday morning a young man
in the employ of John T. Hayes, the
newsdealer, went to Gregory’s livery
stable for ahorse and wagon with which
to get the morning New York papers.
As he went into the stables he heard
some one screeching. At first he paid
little or no attention to it, but on hear-
ing the cry repeated he went into the
office of the stables and succeeded in
arousing a colored man named Wilbur
Hubbard. Together they went to a car-
riage shed and found a woman, semi-
intoxieated and nearly frozen. Her
first exclamation was "‘I’ve been rob-
bed, and I’m nearly frozen to death.”
She was assisted into the oflice and
Officer Martin summoned, who took
her to the station-house. _
Monday morning she was taken to
the police headquarters and told a story
in substance as follows : “My name is
Mrs. W. H. Webb; I came down from
my home near Sheriff Toner’s for the
purpose of buying some oats for my
chickens. Feeling cold I went into
Mr. Sullivan’s saloon fora drink. It
went to my head. Coming out I asked
Mr.— to do an errand for me. ‘Soon af-
ter, two men whom I think I can rec-
ognize, seized me by the arm and
guided me down Brook street from
the corner of the Honnecker building.
Before going far they grabbed hold of
my dress and succeeded in opening it.
and took from my bosom nearly $400.
I screamed but one of the men put his
hand over my mouth and stifled my
cries after that I remember nothing
until I woke up and found myself ly-
ing on the straw in a carriage house. ”
Officer Martin, who responded to the
call, after placing the woman in the
station-house Sunday morning went
back to where she had been found.
and after a diligent search discovered
some eighty-six - dollars done up in
handkerchiefs and small purses. It was
in the main in two and one dollar bills.
The money had been placed in papers
and the‘ amount in each package noted
on the same.
There is no doubt but that the woman
had been foully dealt, with, but as to
the amount stolen, which she claims is
in the neighborhood .of 8300, there is a
shadow of doubt. However, she tells
a straight story, and assigns the accum-
lati'on of the money to-the sale of chick-
ens, pigs, eggs, etc., and says that she
carried the same on her person for fear
of leaving it at home, and that she in-
tended placin it in the bank to-day.
Mrs; Webb ‘as been in the “claws of
the law” before for intoxication. She
says that it was known among a few
that she secreted her money in the ho-
som of her dress.
She is an English woman and at one
time was in the employ of Mrs. George
G. Bishop, as Mrs. Emily S. Barnes.
Her husband is a colored man and
worked for Winfield S. Moody.
Chief DeForest is making a thorough
investigation in the affair and arrests
are liable to follow. That he will un-
earth the villainous robbery and bring
the guilty culprits before the bar of jus-
tice seems already assured.
Miss Ida H. Benedict, of Kasson,
Minnesota, and a pupil at Pratt’s Insti-
tute is visiting .Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Fil-
low of Chestnut street.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Hoyt will
celebrate their tenth or tin wedding an-
niversary, next Tuesday evening at
their home in Bidgefield. Friends
from this place will attend.
A gang of men is still stationed at
the LakeSaltonstall causeway on the
Shore Line division of the Consolida-
ted road. They will remain there for
a few weeks until the newly formed
roadbed is firmly settled.
The two tappers or gongs which are
Dunn’s livery sta-
bles and the other at the Electric Light

and most improved attern.
An exchange says that Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett takes a “constitu-
tional” every morning before break-
fast Mercy, that is nothing. There
are .probably more than a hundred
able bodied men here in Norwalk who
submit to the same punishment, wheth-
er the aforesaid “constitutional” be a
drink of fire water or a walk.

Sept. 17, 1783, met the secret conven-
tion determined to secure an American
bishop and which elected Samuel Sea-
bury to be the first Bishop of Connec-
ticut and of the American Episcopal
church. The house is well preserved.
The project -was carried to success by
the Episcopal society in Watertown. .

highly respected resident and influ-
ential business man here. He wasa
tailor by trade. and served his appren-
ticeship with Alfred Mallory. About
the year 1840 he WitS associated with
\Vm. K. Lewis in the dry goods and
tailoring business, in the store of Sam-
uel Gray, that stood on the ground now
owned by the estate of Charles Smith.
This store was burned at the time of

The Prosecuting Agent.
I. G. Griggs of Putnam wants to be _
prosecuting agent and announces his
candidacy through a local paper inthe
following terms : .
“ I wish to notify the public that I
want to secure the ofiice of prosecuting
agent. I want it because it is the best
paying ofiice in the state and also be-
cause it will give me great power. By
virtue of this position I can compel a
justice to sign all complaints I may
bring before him right or wrong. I can
have two or three cheap men to sneak
around nights and see who drinks and
where they get it. These men also
will have great power ; they can run in-
to any business place night or day, jump
over counters, tip everything bottom
side up. drag . men to the lock-up,
search their pockets for jack knives,
Jamaica ginger, sweet cider ; they can
stop teams on the road and search for
tomatoncatsup, jellies, maple syrup; de-
tain the team as long as they like and
show their writ when they get ready.
These men will not need to be gentle-
men, very cheap men will do. I want
the oflice so I can live on the town and
not be called a pauper. I don’t ask for
much; I shall want a nice ofiice, two
good driving horses and two or three
men to search. I think the expense Will
be, about $300 per week.”
A ROUgh Voyage.
Postal Clerk Godfrey of the Ocean
, Mail service, has just reached his home
at Rowayton from one of the most tem-
pestuous and severe voyages across the
Atlantic ever experienced by the offi-
cers ormen of his ship. At times he
had to lash himself in the mail room
to keep from being dashed against the
partitions. The ship in one of the lon
continued cyclones would. rise upa —
most perendieularly on some mountain
wave, then dash down hill .w1th light-
ning rapidity, her stern being all out
of water and her propeller revolving
with a noise like thunder. On coming
up N ewYork harbor the Hamburger
was so coated with ice that she was
christened the “Floating Iceberg.”
It was a terrible experience for sailors
. and passengers, as have been all the
Tans-Atlantic voyages of the past fort-

A Brahman; Purification.
A curious story of a cow is reported by
a correspondent at Fayzabad, in Oude.
It appears that a man of the Ahir, or cow-
.herd caste, was carrying a cow-calf on
his shoulders, when the animal accident-
ally fell, breaking its neck. Thereupon
the Brahmans held a solemn conclave, at
which the cow-herd was sentenced to the
severest form of Hindoo 'excdmmunica.
tion for six months. During his term it
was ordered that he was to lead a life of
mendicancy, and with a. rope round his
neck and with a portion of the calf’s tail
on his shoulders, was to perform pilgrim-
ages to different Hindoo shrines The mem-
bers of his family were forbidden to sup-
ply him with either shelter or food under
a penalty of undergoing similar excom-
munication. The Ahir is reported to
have now returned to his village, but,
until the purification ceremonies are
over, he must live in a temporary grass-
thatched house, erected for his residence.
It now remains for a man of the lowest
and most degraded caste to purify him.
A barber, after shaving the delinquent
and paring the nails of his hands and
toes, will make over the hair and nails to
the Badmanus, who will burn them and
also set fire to the hut. After this the
Ahir will plunge into the River Sarju
and come out purified; but his troubles
are yet by no means at an end. Not till
after he has feasted fifty Brahmans and
100 of his brethren will he be readmitted
to caste‘fellows‘hipr—London News.
The Coco ’De Mer. i
After years of vein negotiations the
Royal Botanical' Society of London have
at last obtained a specimen of that rarest
ofOriental rarities, the coco de mer, or
double cocoanut. For hundreds of years,
and even in the year 1892, the origin of
nut growers and gatherers, and, accord-
ing to credible testimony, has never been
seen except when washed upon .the
shores of some tropical country by a
mighty storm. Lilly, the famous astrol-
oger, owned a small one,‘and Cammac,
of Paris, another.
Tothese uncanny nuts the ignorant
masses of the seventeenth century at-
tributed many of thesupernatural feats
said to have been“ performed by their
owners. They were and are supposed
tojhave wonderful powers in the way of
curing disease. At one time it was re-
ported that there was a species of cocoa-
