"host BE RECORDED.
A New Law WhichI Goes Into Effect
0- ay.

 

Sales of Goods on the installment
Plan Must be Recorded in the
Town Clerk’s Office.

A law which was passed at the last
session of the legislature and goes into
effect to-day Will cause a stir and create
no end of comment. The law prov1des
for the recording in the town .clerk’s
office of all sales made on the install-
ment plan. It has not been the rule to
record sales of this kind. The person
desiring to purchase a bill of goods on
the installment plan pays a - small
amount down, takes the goods into his
possession and pays the balance ‘of the
bill in weekly or monthly installments.

The law is as follows :

Section 1. All contracts for the sale of per-
sonal property, conditioned that the title
thereto shall remain in the vendor arter deli-
very. shall be in writing, describing the prop-
erty and all the conditions of suc sale, ac-
knowledged before somecompetent authority
and recorded in the town clerk’s office in the
town where the vendee reSides.

Sec. 2. All conditional sales of personal
property which shall be made in conformity
with the provisions.‘of the preceding section
shall be held to be absolute sales, except
against the vendor. and his heirs. and all such
property shall be liable to be taken by attach-

' ment and execution for the debts of the ven-

dee. in the same manner as any other property
not exempted by law.

Just howithis will affect the install-
ment business cannot be said as yet.
There are several concerns in town do-
ing that kind of business, and their
trade amounts to thousands-of dollars
annually. Many people will not care
to buy goods if they have to have the
transaction recorded.

It will not under the new law be safe
for a merchant. to sell goods without
recording the transaction, because any
creditor of the purchaser may attach
goods and the seller has no claim upon
themneven though the purchaser has
paid but a small amount of the total
cost of the same.

In many cases during the past year
persons holding bills against their
neighbors discovered that the latter
had come into possession of pianos or
other property liable to attachment.
The creditor in such cases would con-
sult a lawyer, the latter would draw
the necessary papers, take his fee and
dispatch a constable to serve ”the pa-
pers. The constable would earn his
fee by serving the papers and then the
merchant who sold the goods would
step in and claim that the attachment
was invalid, because the goods had not
been paid for and that they were his
property until paid for in full, and not
the property of the person upon whom
the attachment paper had been served.
The object of the new law is to locate
the ownership of property under such
conditions. Hereafter when a consta-
ble gets papers to serve on property
which he suspects has been purchased
on the installment plan he will visit the
town clerk’s office, and if he finds no
record of the sale he will attach‘ the
property with the certainty that he can
hold it.

____..._
Served Him Right.

What promised to be an addition to
the altogether too long list of N orwalk
elopements was “nipped in the bud”
Sunday night by the, father of the girl
who proposed getting married without
her parents’ consent. She had her
satchel all packed and anxiously await-
ed the coming of her lover, who for
some reason or other did not call at the
time assigned. The mother of the girl
noticed that she seemed unusually ner-
vous. and after a while gained her con-
fidence in the matter, the girl with
tears in her eyes confessing all. The
father was advised of the situation and
he prepared to make the reception for
the young man a warm one. He first
secured a rawhide which he secreted
under his coat. Soon after the “young-
ster” put in his appearance, but instead
of being welcomed at the door by his
“heart’s desire” the father met 'him
and asked him to walk inside. He then
sat down and the two talked on' the
topics of the day for half an hour, the
daughter, however, did not put in an
appearance.

 

father started to walk across the room
the rawhide dropped to the floor. The
young man immediately came to the
conclusion that all had been discovered
and made a dash for the door but too
late, for the “man of the house” turned
the key. What happened afterward
the young man will not tell, but the
neighbors were aroused by some pretty
loud yelling and cries of “ Let me go! ”
and the victim was finally seen to tum-
ble from the piazza With the “old
man’s” boot in close proximity to his
coat tails. He managed to regain his
feet and started for his team which he
unhitched and drove off. We have
been requested not to publish the
names of the parties interested and re-
luctantly refrain from so doing. But
if you see a seven dollar‘a week young
man with a brand-new and livid streak
across his face, he is the party who got
in the way of the rawhide.

A Brave Rescuer.

Saturday afternoon a number of lads
were in bathing at the wharf near the
railroad freight house. One of the
number, James Yeomans, was taken
With a cramp and called for help. Ed-
die Brotherton, aged 16 years, swam to
his rescue. ‘Yeomans grabbed hold of
Brotherton and at one time it seemed
as if both would be drowned. Samuel
Foster, who is employed at " the freight
ofiicehsaw the peril of the two lads and
stripping off his clothes, at taking
time to unlace his shoes, ju ped into
the water, and swimming out to the
drowning lads. succeeded in getting
them safel ashore, though at the risk

of his own ife, as both lads seemed de-.

termined to hold to him in such a way
as to prevent his making any headway
toward the shore.. Young Brotherton
hasbeen confined to his bed since the
accident. Foster is deserving. of much
praise for his brave act, as
would probably have been drowned
but for his timely assistance. .

 

- a His Toes Cut Off.

Albert Wakely, of Nor-Walk, a brake-
man employed on the Consolidated-
road,_had the great toe and the top of
the second one cut ofi' b the cars at
BridgeportSaturday. ' e was at work
shifting cars on the siding near the
Copper works when in trying to get on

the car his foot slipped and was caught’

by the wheel.
A call was sent for the ambulance and
the man was removed to the emergency

1; hospital.

It was now the young‘
man’s turn to get nervous for as the -

Beware ofOintmenta for Oatdrrh That Con-
tains Mercury}.

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, man-
ufactured by F. J. Cheney & 00., To-

ledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is '

taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous, surfaces of the
system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure
be sure you get the genuine. It is
taken internally, and made in Toledo,
Ohio, byF. J. Cheney &. Co. Testi-

A Three Year Old‘WiltonAvenue -
Boy Burned to Death.

Set His Clothes on Fire with
Matches.

Edwin Ferrari, the three year old son
of Henr Spicer, architect, who
lives on ilton avenue, climbed up to
a pantry shelf, Sunday, a little after
noon, and got some matches. The lit-
tle fellow then quietly wandered down
to the end of the garden at~the crest of
the railroad cut, where he ignited the
matches and set his muslin skirts on
fire. The father heard him screfin and
ran to see what was the matter. Before
he came in sight of the child, he saw
smoke rising up above the little wood-
shed at the foot of the lot and behind
which he found the child completely
enveloped in flames. The father in-

. stantly tore off his blazing clothing,

burning both his own hands so severe-
ly in doing so, that the skin peeled
from the inside and several nails on his
fingers are likely to come ,ofi'. The
child was frightfully burned from its
feet up its body to the side of its face.
The father bore the little sufferer to
the house and ran for Dr. Baldwin,
who immediately responded and did all
in his power to alleviate his sufferings.
The agonized mother then sent the
half frantic father for Rev. Mr. Wat-
kins to come and baptize the child,
which the good Rector promptly did
and administered such ,religious conso-
lation to the stricken family as was pos-
sible. The boy expired at 6:30 in the
evening. ‘ .

The funeral of the little one is to
be attended on Wednesday, the inter-
ment being private. _The child was'ex-
cee'dingly active, bright and interest-
ing, and a favorite with all who knew
him. The bereaved family have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their sudden and terrible affliction.

Took Her Daughter.

Some six or seven years ago a woman
came to Norwalk, as she said from Dan-
bury. She was accompanied by a child
about one year old. The woman gave
her name as Delia Tripp. Soon after,
she became a town charge, at which
time she gave birth to a boy bab ,
which was adopted by a South Norwa k
family. Mrs. Tripp remained at the
alms home for a few months, and s‘b-
outing a situation left the child and
went to work for a Norwalk family.
Early this spring she was married to a
man named John Mix, living in West-
port. The child which had-been chris-
tened Florence was brought up by the
keepers of the alms house, Mr. and
Mrs. Hoyt, as well as if it had been
ilvuir own, and they had become very
much attached to her, as indeed had the
girl to them. Tuesday evening Mr.
and Mrs. Mix called at the Town Farm
and demanded the child, and when
Mrs. Hoyt tried to persuade Mrs. Mix
to let the girl remain, the woman he-
came very abusive and used such‘in-
sulting langua e that Mr. Hoyt was
forced to eject er from the building.
The girl did not want to go With her
mother, and force had to be used to
compel her. She threatens to run
away at the first opportunity, but Mr.
Hoyt told her that he would not harbor
her even if she did, and advised her to
make the best of the situation and obey
her mother. Mr. and Mrs“ Hoyt . are
both sorry to have the girl go, but
they were powerless to prevent her
mother’s taking charge of her.

John Ronk Dead.

Selectman Daskam was in receipt,
Sunday, . f in telephone message from
the Bridgeport hospital, stating that
John Ronk, who was there under treat-
ment, could not live but a few hours.
The dying man told the attendant phy-
sician that he had a wife (Aunty Miller)
living in NOrwalk and expressed a Wish
to see her before he died. He breathed
his last at 3 o’clock. Mr. Daskam went
to the hospital and took charge _of the
poor man’s effects, the only thing _of_
value being his discharge papers.
Ronk was a member of Co. D, 48th N.
Y. Vols., and a pensioner. xHe.was 56
years of age, and was, we believe, a
native of Bethel. The deceasedywas a
well-known character about town, and
created quite-a sensation a few years
since by wedding “Aunty” Miller, the
marital knot being tied by Judge Aus-
tin in the presence of Editors Wade
and Rodemeyer and a few other gen-
tlemen. He had few enemies and many
friends.~ His remains will be interred
at Bridgeport.

 

 

 

Unclaimed Bank Deposits.

The list of unclaimed deposits in the

This year the money so far as re-
turned at the comptroller’s office foots
up about $55,000. Amounts due deposi-
tors in some of the savings banks are

Four more cases of diptheria are, re-
ported in the borough, two of them be-
ing children in the family of the Ken-
nedy boy who died. of the dread dis-
ease, Tuesday morning, at his home on
Clark street. The other two cases are

Joseph McCormick on Plattsvflle ave-
nue, both being in the same house.
The Kennedy house is quarantined,
Oflicer June being on guard. _ At- the
other house Officer Burdick is domg
guard duty. The health officers are do-
ing all intheir power to prevent a fur-
therspread of the disease, by a liberal
use ’of disinfectants and by placing re-
strictions over the families where the
disease prevails. It is not believed that
the disease wrll become epidemic.
