' BURGLAM WORK. _
A Norwalk Saloon Entered Early
Saturday Morning. ‘
The Thieves Overlooked aSum of
tMOney.
The saloon of Mrs. John Cahill was
burglarized at an early hour Saturday
morning last, but for some reason or
other the 'matter has been kept very
quiet. jA GA'ZEETE reporter was in pos-
session cfithe’zfa'c‘ts on Saturday but was
requested not to' give publicity to the
same. . .._ a. . ._
Back of the saloon on the Mechanic
street side there is’a' balcony.'. The
burglars it is thought got Onto the
same by climbing up the iron girders
on the back of the balcony on the Had-
den building. They then by the use
of some sharp instrument succeeded in
cutting away enough of the sash to in-
sert some tool whereby they succeeded
in turning the catch and were thus en-
abled to open the Window and step into
the store.
They then went behind the counter
and helped themselves to, as Mrs.
Cahill thinks, about $3, one dollar in
change and a two dollar bill. It. is
thought that the burglars became
frightened as they failed to take a bag
containing $5 in silver which was close
.to where the money lay. They also
failed to open a desk in which there
was over $50 in bills.
Mrs. Cahill is of the opinion that the
burglary was committed between 1 and
2 o’clock in the morning, as she re-
members having heard her dog bark-
ing, but thought nothing of it at the
time.
It is believed that the burglary was
,committed by some one acquainted With
the place.
Raid No. l.
Considerable complaint has been
made to Chief Dann of the doings of a
colored-club whose meeting rooms are
iii the building on Wall street owned by
Mr. Platt Price. It was alleged that
gambling was carried on every night
in the week and that intoxicants were
sold and drank on the premises. Last
Sunday Chief Dann decidedito made a
raid on the place. He had come into
possession of the signal of entrance
used by members of the club.
The chief was accompanied by Ofii-
cers Martin and Howard. Evidently
those in the room were suspicious, as it
was fully five minutes before the sig-
nal was answered by the opening of the
door. The officers then placed the in-
mates of the room under arrest and they
were taken to the station.
N o liquor was found on the premises
and the only gambling outfit found were
three packs of cards, some dominoes and
checkers. .
_ The officers believe that in the inter-
mm of opening the door some of those
who were inside managed to make their
escape. and secrete the liquors.
This moaning the prisoners were
brought before. Justice Austin, where
they gave their names as Samuel Law,
Ellison Williams, Walter Springstein,
Jeremiah Caples and John Slattery.
The two former were charged with
keeping-a resort where gambling was
alleged to be done, and the three last
as bein g frequenters of the place.
Springstein was found guilty and fined
$1 and costs ; Law was also found guilty
and was fined 32 and costs, which he
paid; Caples was fined $1 and costs.
The cases of _Williams and Slattery were
continued until Saturday. Attorney .
Walsh ,appeared for the prosecution.
Representative Brinton Dead.
Henry iBrinton, a member of the
General Assembly from Canaan, living
at Falls Village, died Sunday at Wind-
sor, of pneumonia, after three days’
illness. He was 54 years of age and
leaves a wife and five children. Mr.
Brinton was a Republican.
To Be Held in New Haven. ,
At a meeting of Connecticut Turn-
verein held in New Haven Sunday af-
ternoon it was decided to hold the state
turnfest in New Haven July 1, 2 and 3.
Bought the Pl ush‘Factory‘.

that city for $100,000. The plush com-
panv has a lease runningfor a term of

Two Pair.
Mrs. John Budner of Beaver Brook,
near Blairstown, N. J ., gavebirth to
four children on Thursday morning. ‘
Two are boys and two girls. Mrs. Bud-
ner is the wife of a young farmer, and
is only 16 years old. Both mother and
children are doing well.
Controls the Field.
The penny newspaper is mounting
upward in popularity and in influence,
and may truly be said to control the
field of journalism. Experienced news-
paper men have recognized this for sev-
eral years, and the new papers all
come out on the popular one-cent ba-r
sis—Philadelphia Item.
Danbury’s New Church.
The new Second Baptist Church, at
Danbury, was dedicated Sunday with
appropriate ceremonies. The church is
on West street, near Main, built on a
slight elevation, and is the handsomest
edifice devoted to religious worship in
that town. Its architectural lines are
Romanesque and it is built of granite
and brick. It cost about 375.000.

Were They Stolen ?
A peculiar find was made early Sat-
urday morning on the new street being
cut through from Orchard to Butler
street. Some young ladies were going
through the street to the straw factory
when their attention was attracted to a
pile of hats near the residence of Sher-
wood Cummings. 0n investigation they
found seven Derby hats piled up on
six dinner plates,the whole surmounted
by a military hat. How they got there
is a mystery. The hats were all good
ones. Mr. Cummings heard some one
near his house in the night laughing and
talking but thought nothing of it at the
time. Some incline to the belief that
the articles were stolen from the Ar-
mory Fair. During the day some
youngsters used the hats for footballs,
and one of the number took the plates
and military cap home with him.
A Mother’s Pride.
“Do I not always try my best to grat-
ify your reasonable tastes and ambi-
tions ?” asked the mother of a West av-
enue belle. .
There was no reply, and the mother
resumed, gently :
“If I were wealthy, my dear, I would
spare no expense to provide you With
all that heart could wish. But there
is a limit to my power to do so. I can
only exercise my best taste and judge:
ment in the selection of such things as
you may require for your personal ap-
parel, and if they do not always please
you, remember, my dear, that there
are treasures of mind and heart that
may be yours if you seek for them with
earnest purpose, and they far out-weigh
the ephemeral trifles of one’s outward
adornment.” _
“That’s all true enough. mother,”
answered the proud young belle, “but
I look like a sardine in that new Eas-
ter hat.”

The First Day's Coroner’s Inquiry
' Deepens the Mystery.
Some Startling Evidence Promised.
Coroner Doten went to Westport Mon-
day and commenced his inquest into
the manner of the death of Gustavus
found floating in the Saugatuck river
with a fractured skull. The body is so
badly decomposed that Medical Exam-
iner Bowers states that autopsy, would
;be useless, if not impossible, and is al-
so unable to say whether the fracture
is ante-mortem or post-mortem.
The coronerlheard only four witness-
es as the authorities had provided no
suitable room and the hearing had to
be adjourned until to-day._
Andrew Anderson, a friend of the
dead man, told of the last time he saw
him. He could establish_the date no
nearer than a Saturday in November
when the witness and Petersen entered
the La Croix saloon in Westport and
drank together. Anderson then entered
a carriage with a blacksmith named
Hart and drove to Saugatuck, leaving
Petersen behind. .
Hart corroborated this testimony.
Both men agreed in saying that Peter-
sen was not exactly sober, but would
not say he was drunk.
Alexander Johnson was next heard.
He is also a Swede. He lives at Sauga-
tuck, but works in Bridgeport. He is
the man to whom suspicion points, if
anybody. His attitude during the ex-
amination, however, was perfectly frank
and his manner unconcerned and such
as to cast discredit upon the accusations
freely uttered by the people of West-
port. Johnson said that he and Peter-
sen were friends and that his wife and
Petersen’s wife frequently Visited each
other. He denied that he had ever
quarreled with Petersen or expressed
disapprobation with the man’s atten-
tions to his wife. The last time he saw
Petersen was in September and he did
not hear of his disappearance until
Thanksgiving day.
Carrie Nelson was the last witness
and said: “Johnson told me that he
had heard that Petersen-was coming to
see his wife and said : ‘If that is so I’ll
fight him.” The remark was made at
the witness’ house before Petersen dis-
appeared. Its force is perhaps lessened
by the statement of the witness, Mrs.
Nelson, that she was not on good terms
with Mrs. Johnson.
Westport mouths are full of threats
alleged to have been uttei ed by J ohn-
son against Petersen, but the above is
the only one that has materialized.
There are still important witnesses to
to be examined who may throw some
light upon an otherwise dark case.
Among those will be Mrs. Johnson,
her mother and two children, Mrs.
Petersen, the girl who saw a body float-
ing on the Saugatuck river before
Pe tersen’s body was found, and a young
man who is alle ed to have had his
attention attracte to a dispute in the
neighborhood of the Johnson resi-
dence, Sunday, Nov. 13.
Mrs. Petersen thinks her husband
has been, foully murdered. She even
asserted to Justice Smith of Westport.
that she believed him to be concealed
in Mrs. Johnson’s cellar. It seems to
be a fact well understood in Westport
that Petersen and Mrs. Johnson were
on very intimate terms and jealousy is
the motive imputed to Johnson by his
accusers. He has never objected par-
ticularly to the intrigues alleged against
his wife, however, and at one time of.
fered no opposition to'a divorce she
sought against him. He has also been
in the habit of staying from his home
for considerable intervals and has
never conducted himself like a hus-
who felt an interest in his wife’s ac-
tions.
If Mrs. Petersen speaks the truth
Mrs.Johnson’s actions have been de-
cidedly queer. The former says when
she asked of the latter where Petersen
had gone the latter replied: “I know
but I won’t tell you,” and again “He
is in a hospital and he will come home
when he pleases.” Then says Mrs.
Petersen, one of the children tried to
speak and Mrs. Johnson cried fiercely
to the child “Hold your teeth down
your throat.” The above is the sub-
stance of statements made by Mrs.
Petersen to Justice Smith.
The witness Anderson says: “I saw
Petersen a Saturday in Nov.” but Mrs.
Petersen fixes the date and says it was
Saturday, Nov. 12. Johnson has said
that the last time he saw Petersen was
in September. It it alleged that a wit-
ness whom the coroner will see is one
who will say that he saw Johnson,
Petersen and two Swedes from Bridge-
port, together at the Johnson house
the next day. If this is true the out-
look of the case might be somewhat
different.
Even then it does not follow that
Johnson is the guilty man, for it is the
general opinion that the deed might
have been perpertrated by any of the
party during a drunken carousal in
man whose name is withheld will tes-
tify to hearing a tumult near the house
on that night. On the whole it seems as
probable that Petersen fell into the
river in a drunken stupor and Was
drowned as that he was murdered and
thrown'in. The Johnson house is a
considerabledistance from the Sauga-
tuck river and the path to the river is
not at all lonely. A point cited on this
side of the case is that a bod was seen
floating in the water fully ree miles
above the point of the river opposite
the house. :
Old residents, hoWever, say that the
remains of dead dogs are frequently
borne up and down the river upon the
ingoing and outgoing tides for a long
time before being cast ashore and say
that Petersen’s body might have been
easily carried by the tide further up the
river than three miles. The fracture
may be accounted for on the suppos
tion that the head was brought between
The assump-
tion being that the body has been in
the river all winter. The chances are
the case will go to swell the list of
Connecticut mysteries. Six months at
least has elapsed since the crime, if
was perpetrated and
nearly every avenue of successful in-
quiry is closed. An additional diffi-
cultyarises from the fact that several
important Witnesses cannot speak Eng-
ish. .
'vThe hearing Monday was held in
the office of Justice Smith at Westport.
The justice is the man who upheld
. train with another man,liut he couldn’t
somewhat strongly the murder theory.
Coroner Doten examined eight, witnesg .z,
‘ses. ' .’ .
‘ ‘ Mrs. Petersan‘, widOw of the dead
man, was the first. Her story was
tinged with the jealousy she entertains
foers. Johnson. She said that Mrs. .
Johnson could tell‘ the manner of the
dead man’s death. . -'
Mrs: Johnson told her stor as frank;
ly as her husband’s story ha been told
before. She said: “Mrs. Petersen did
come to my house several times. I lis-
toned to her patiently until she accused
me of being. her husband’s mistress
and then I, turned her out of .my
housec,, ' ~ ' _
Mrs. Johnson said that her husband
was not at his heme Sunday and that
up to Thanksgivmg day he had not
been home for twomonths.’ She is cer
tam upon this pomt because she had
been separated from him and Thanks
giving day the reconciliation was affect-
e . -
“The last time I ever saw=Petersen
alive wasat 4 o’clock Saturday after- .
noon. He was beastly drunk and I
would not allow him in my house,” she
concluded.
Andrew Anderson has said “I saw
Petersen Saturday about 6 o’clock. He
was not sober,” and Mrs. Petersen says
“I saw my husband at 5 o’clock He
stayed in the house half an hour. At
5:30 he drove off with Anderson ” facts
that establish at least the dead man’s
condition on that day, and, in so far,
corroborates Mrs. Johnson. .
Mrs. Johnson says : “My husband
was not at home Sunday, only myself,
my mother and'my children. ” The Sat-
urday and Sunday referred to are Nov.
12 and 13 respectively, the exact date
being fixed by Mrs. Peterson.
Terence Anderson was another Wit-
ness whose big story dwindled under the
searching examination of the coroner.
Anderson saw Petersen boarding a
remember whether it Was befor or after
the disappearance.
The tumult on the road neaIr the J ohn-
son house, Westport people tell about
whenever they suggest that John on
threw the body of poor Petersen in ‘
the river, was testified to by Arthur B.
Gellett, a young groceryman. Gellett
was awaked very early Monday,Nov. 14,
by a noise. He saw a wagon standing
near the Johnson house. The wagon
had one man in it. Gellett couldn’t tell
where it was headed for, or whose it
was. The story of a fight between John-
son and Petersen diminished to a drunk-
en squabble occurring last summer, in
which. Johnson had the best of it and
swelled about considerably over his vic-
tory. '
All the circumstances tend to establish
that about 6 o’clock on the evening of -
Nov. 12,Petersen,in a blind drunk con-
dition, left the La Croix saloon for his
home. '
The road is not particularly lonely,
but in places it approaches within not
many feet of the winding rivet.‘ Noth-
ing is more probable than that a man in
Petersen’s condition should wander
from the road to the river, slipping
from the bank into the water. :
The real mystery is that the body was
pot swept into the. Sound. It may
have been, that, as Justice Smith sup-
noses, it was swept hither and thither
hy the incoming and outgoing tides,
one day nearly reaching the strong out-
ward current and the next swept back
up the river, but that it was ever car-
ried up a distance Of three miles above
where it was found, and more than a
mile above any point where there was
any likelihood that Petersen would slip
into the river, is doubtful ; all the
more that the witness who was to tes-
tify to seeing a body at such a paint,
four days before Petersen’s body was
found, cannot be discovered. As Mr.
Mevis says : “There is nothing strange
that a body hurled hither and thither
with winds and tides, among floating
ice and passing boats for more than
five months should be picked up With a
fractured skull.” '
It was erroneously stated yesterday
that Alexander Johnson had been
placed under arrest accused of murder-
ing the Swede Petersen. It was al-
leged that the arrest had been made by
the officers upon the strength of a state-
ment made by one of the witnesses be-
fore the coroner to the effect that
“Johnson had said he would do Peter-
sen.” What the witness did say is
that Johnson said “If I find Petersen
is after my wife I will fight him.” The
remark was made last summer and
there is‘abundance of evidence to show
that the men were on the best of terms
long after that time. Johnson has
never been arrested a mi unless the evi-
dence takes a short turn will not be.
Coroner Doten was asked last night if
Johnson had been arrested. He re-
plied : “I have not yet secured evi-
dence enough to warrant me in causmg
the arrest of Johnson or anybody else.”
Blind in an Instant.
From a mufile in the copper mill of
the Bridgeport Aluminum Brass and
Bronze company, there flashed Tues-
day a flame into the face of Foreman
David Jenkins which rendered him
sightless and inflicted other burns
which may prove fatal. It could not
be definitely ascertained whether J en-
kins would lose permanently the_use of
both his eyes. The accident is one
likely to occur at any time and was not
due to carelessness. The muflle is _a
small receptacle in which copper is
melted, and is heated by crude oil.
The oil is fed into the machine in much
the same manner as naptha into a gaso-
line stove and frequently, as is often
the case with the latter, it flashes when
lit, only with a greater volume and in-
tensity. -
Foreman Jenkins was, in the act of
lighting up one of the muflies, and was
stooping over the machine when the
burner flashed and enveloped his head
in flames. The few seconds that his
head remained over the muflle were
sufficient to cause the infliction of ter-
rible injuries.
