Killed Two Women.
Michael Sullivan and his son left
Bridgeport Monday to walk on the
Consolidated Railroad track to their
home in Fairfield. They reached the
Fairfield avenue crossing Just as a
west-bound express freight was passing.
After the train went bv they started
down the track. They had gone only
a short distance when one of them
stumbled across something on the
track. By lighting matches they saw
that it was the body of a young woman.
She was dead, but the body was warm.
Lying on both sides of the track was
the wreck of a carriage and harness.
The son started for a signal tower a
few hundred feet further down the
track to give the alarm. As he was
hurrying along he stumbled and fell
over an object lying near the side of
the track. Investigation showed it to
be the lifeless body of another woman.
be second body found was that of a
mi dle-aged woman. Both bodies were
terribly man led. No trace of' the
horse attache to the carriage could be
found. The bodies were identified as
'Rose Dupont and her daughter Mary,
aged 20. They lived near the scene of
the accident.

Carrier Pigeon 6,582.
Capt. Robert Glass of the schooner
Hattie Turner, from St. John, New
Brunswick, reports that in the middle
of the Sound, off Stratford, on Friday
morning, a white carrier pigeon dropped
upon the deck of his vessel. There
was a brass band on the right leg of

After the bird had fed and tested it was
liberated and took an easterly course,
but shortly afterward it was seen to
alight on an outward-bound vessel.

hospital New York, a few days ago, for
the removal of a tumor. Word was re-

Sunday of her death. Funeral direc-
tor Raymond and Mr. Comstock went

night, about 6.30 o’clock, as he was
crossing the bridge over the Housaton-
ic River. His head was torn from his
body. The body fell through the bridge
into the river and was washed down

Dunwell lived in - Bridgeport and was

_ Must be‘Abated.
A crowd of lads from fourteen to
eighteen years of age were assembled
in the vacant lot known as the Bryant
property on Harbor avenue, Sunday
morning, indulging in a boisterous
game of ball. There was much profan-
ity and vile talk. The same nuisance
existed last summer, but the people liv-
ing in the neighborhood propose to
abate it this summer, and give warning
to the guilty parties that if the actions
of Sunday are repeated; arrests will.
follow. Another nuisance is the congre-
gating at night of young men and girls
on Orchard street, and making the
night hideous by their ribald talk and
crazy antics. This is more especiall
the case on Sunday nights,'althougb
there is more or less of it every night
in the week. It is'approachiug the sea-
son when people like to leave the win-
dows of their homes open in the even-
ing, but they are loth to do so because
of the bachanalian actions and vile talk
of boys and girls old enough to know
better. This nuisance the residents of
the street insist shall also be abated.

On the Safe Side.
A meeting of the official board of
Connecticut division, L. A. W. was
held in Hartford Saturday evening.
About thirty were present. An opin-
. ion from Hyde, Gross & Hyde, as to
the effect of the anti-pool room bill on
bicycle racing was read. While they
think that racing under present condi-
tions would not be a violation of the
new law they suggest the doing away
with entry fees if possible and substi-
tuting in their place rules of admission
to the contest based onoapproval by the
. managers, and for punishment for un-
‘excused absence from a contest for
which a party has entered by exclusion
from future contests within a given
time. This advice is given that safety
may be secured, the lawyers saying
. they prefer to have their clients keep
5 as far away from the criminal law as
possible.
In view of this opinion a resoultion
was passed appointing a committee who
should endeavor to secure legislation
for protecting bicycling and other ath-
letic sports. The national league and
amateur athletic unions and athletic
college associations will be asked to
join in the movement for securing leg-
slative help.
Burglary.
The millinery store of Miss Agnes
Fitch, on Wall street, was burglarized
last Sunday. The burglars effected an
entrance by cutting away the sash of a
window in the rear of the store. They
then deliberately dropped the portierre
curtains separating the store from the
workroom, lighted a lamp and ran-
sacked the secretary and sewing ma-
chinedrawers. The only articles stolen
were four pairs of scissors. a gold pen-
cil, a gold toothpick and a cake of soap.
(Perhaps they hoped to wash their
hands clean of the crime with the soap.)
There were valuable goods in the store
left untouched which causes Miss Fitch
to incline to the belief that the‘burg.
lots were not professionals. ,When Miss
Fitch visited her store Shnday after-
noon tovcare for the fires everything
was all right, . but this morning she
found everything in the workroom in
confusion, the centents of the score-
tary, etc'., being strewn over the floor.
The police think that_ they can appre-
hend the guilty parties. Foot tracks
of two persons were traced from the
ashes in, the rear of the Norwalk hotel
. to the back of the stere burglarized.

sand.
At Milford the steam dredger belong--
ing to W. M. Merwin went out Friday,
and where they could catch 1,000 bush-
els of\ oysters 2.3,- hours before the storm
they were unable to catch 200 bushels
of oysters in 10 hours. The action of
the water has washed a heavy layer of
sand over the oysters, making it impos-
sible to dredge them, and unless they
work themselves out they will die. The
storm has been particularly disastrous
to the seed oyster trade which has been
practically abandoned in many dis-
tricts. This trade, which 'is the most
profitable in the business, will be an
utter failure. It had hardly begun.
The oyster dealers are very much dis-
couraged and say that it will take sev-
eral years to get their beds in the con-
dition they were in before the storm.

Stole a Horse.
Saturday evening, Joseph and Frank
Ross. drove down from Cranberry
Plains and hitched their horse on High
street. When they were ready to re-
turn home they were not a little sur.
prised to find ’their turnout missing.
The police were made acquainted with '
the facts and kept on the lookout for
the thief. The horse was a sorrel with
whitespots in his face. It was hitched
to a spindle wagon with running parts
painted red. The harness was an old
one. It was reported that a young
man wearing a slouch hat was seen
driving the horse towards Cranberry
Plains, Saturday night, a short time be-
fore it was missed. »
In connection with the loss the po-
lice were in receipt last night of a tel-
ephone message from the Stamford
police stating that they had under ar-
rest a lad who gave his name as “Gus”
'I‘oohill and his home as in N orwalk.
He claimed that he knew who stole the
horse and said thatjhe name of the
guilty party was Cahill. Young Toohill
.was arrested as a suspicious character.
He had a pair of shoes with him which
he said he got at the Mahackemo hotel,
and then at the City hotel, etc. His
stories wereso conflicting that he was
locked up, and it was after this that he
told of the stealing of the horse._ His
story as to taking the shoes was inves.
tigated and it was learned that the -
shoes were given to him by Dr. :W. A.
Lockwood. - . ». .
The turnout was driven through the '
borough, last Monday, at an ,. earl
hour by the owners, but they failed to
