' + >.__.____ An Expensive Memorial. P. W. Bates, of the Norwalk Granite Works, has a force of men at work at the Union Cemetery constructing an air tight vault 10x5. When finished the remains of the late'Theodore Chiches- ter will be placed in the crypt which will be covered by a granite sarcopha- gus weighing about ten tons, surmount- ed by a bronze cross. There is but one other tomb like it in this country, and that is in a cemetery in Troy, Y., the pattern of which tomb was taken from a cemetery on the Isle of Wight. When finished it will be one of the most expensive and attractive memor- ials in that city of the dead. A Highway Robbery. In Stamford on Tuesday, Thomas Murphy pleaded not guilty to a charge of robbery. It seems that on Saturday night, about 10:30 o’clock, as Noah F. Scofield, who resides in Glenbrook, was on his way home and near the Hamilton House, he was knocked down, kicked and robbed of his money and watch and chain. He did not know who his assail- ants were,but identified watch and chain shown him in court as being his. The watch and chain were found upon Mur- phy by Officers O’Brien and Toms,who arrested him. \Villiam Hyatt, better known as ‘ ‘Danbury J ack,” theumbrella mender,first told the police of Murphy’s having the watch in his possession. Early Sunday morning, Murphy asked “Danbury J ack” if he did not want to buy a watch for $10 or $12, but he was unable to do so. not having the money. Murphy took Hyatt to a stone wall near the depot, in which he had hidden the watch. The chain was hidden under a paper,with a stone placed on top,to keep it down, near by. Murphy also told Hyatt that he had a hard tussle to get the watch. Murphy was put under $2,- 000 bonds for trial before the superior court Southporters indignant. Many Southporters are criticising severely the course of Fairfield’s se- lectmen in refusing to bury the body of a child which arrived at the South- port depot by train last Friday icon- signed to Mrs. J. F. Taylor. The dead child was Gladys Goodhue, one and one-half years. old. Her mother is Mrs. Taylor’s daughter, a widow and lives in Wakefield. She is said to be very poor. Mrs. Taylor at once made applica- tion to the selectmen for aid in burying her grand-daughter, representing that she was unable to bear the expense. The selectmen consulted Judge Glover, who advised them that they were in no way obligated, as the mother did not legally belong to that town. There- upon the selectmen told Mrs. Taylor they could not grant her request. To have given the remains interment would have cost $2.50. The Board of Health were appealed to but declined to act being, under the new law, out of office. The coffin remained in the baggage room until Tuesday when it was buried at the expense of the railroad company, which now proposes to recover from the town the outlay. The afi'air has aroused much indignation. ,l WEEKLY-NORWALK -GAZE’1‘TE. ATRUE PHILANTHROPlST. ' ' Many Made Happy by Following a Lady’s Advice-~Her inter- esting Letter. Dr. David Kennedy, Rbndout, N. Y.: DEAR Sim—As many of my friends have been so much benefitted by your medicine, Favorite Remedyg I thought you should be informed of it. I have a list of thirty names of persons who have taken it at my suggestion, and all have been benefitted by its use. My brother-in-law, living in Pough- keepsie, had Salt Rheum for several years, had a large spot pn each ankle, a physician there told him it could not be cured. He has taken Favorite Reme- dy from hearing me speak so highly of it, and he is now well; his age is about sixty-eight. Five of the same family have taken it for ailments, brought about by bad blood or shattered nerves, and all have been benefitted. The person who has a .cancer, of whom I wrote you some time ago, is still taking Favorite Remedy, and 1| much improved. There are a number of cases I know of where phys1c1ans have failed to cure, that have been, some cured, others so much benefitted, that they are a great surprise to their friends. _ . A friend who had been ailing a lon time and tried different remedies an physicians, was telling me of hercase, I said: “You must take my medicine, Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Reme- dy.” She purchased a bottle. I saw her again in a few weeks, and asked her how she was, and she said she was feeling perfectly well, and _was so grate- ful for suggesting Favorite Remedy. Said she: “I feel I ought to pay you something.” Another presented me with a bottle of Favorite Remedy for suggesting its use. Another person who has Eczema of the scalp is takingFavor- ite Remedy and using your Salt Rheum Cream with success. _ Ever grateful for the good Favorite Remedy has done me, I remain, Very Respectfully, Miss C.

All Free Passes Called in. The annual meeting of the Norwalk Horse Railway Company was hel Tuesday evening, at which eighteen hundred and sixty-three shares were voted. Messrs. E. C. Benedict, E. J. Hill, A. S. Hurlburt, Eben. Hill, J. A. Osborn, E. O. Keeler and John H. Ferris, were chosen Directors for the ensuing year. Mr. E..J. Hill was elec- ted President and Treasurer, and J. Arthur Osborn Vice President. It was voted to call in all outstanding free passes over the road, and to reduce the current expenses all along the line, and hereafter, president, directors, and all others, except employees on duty, are to be required to pay fare when riding over the road. The books of the com- pany showed that since the issuing of transfer tickets to and from South Nor- walk over the Winnipauk branch and the continuous ride from Randle’s store to South Norwalk depot for one single five cent fare, a loss of near- ly four hundred dollars per month has resulted. In other words, the com- pany has made a gratuitous donation of nearly a hundred dollars per week to the public riding to and from Winni- pauk and South Norwalk. The ques- tion of introducing stoves into the cars for the winter months was dislcussed and agreed upon, as was the subject of changing the motive power from horses to electricity. Messrs. E. J. Hill, A. S. Hurlburt and J. A. Osborn, were chos- en a committee with power to investi- gate and report, and take such action on these subjects as they shall deem for the best interests of the company. Greater economy, more careful super- vision, more rigid accountability and a greatly improved service, are promised by this thorough change and infusion of new blood into the control and man- agement of this most important public convenience and worthy local enter- prise. A Reduction. A bulletin has been placed in the conductors’ and drivers’ room at the horse railway depot announcing the following reductions in the wages of the employees of the road, who, in whatever capacity they were at work, formerly received the uniform wages of $2 per day : Drivers. reduced to $1.60 Conductors, reduced to 1.75 Stablemen, reduced to 1.50 Night Watchman. reduc-ul to 1.50 Yardmen, reduced 0 1.50 At present the drivers on the main line are making fourteen regular trips a day, but the company reserves the right, in case of necessity, to call upon conductors and drivers for not to ex- ceed sixteen trips a day. No extra salary beyond the regular scale will be allowed for Sunday work. The above takes effect on and after Tuesday, Oct._ 10th. The employees are numbered in the following order: Williams,Blake,Bou- ton, Miller, Hoyt, Long, Sweet, Lock- wood, Clark, Haley, Lane, Bucknam, Slauson,Wardwell, Matheis, Gray,Tan- ner, Smith, McMullen, Mahoney,Plun- kett, McGrath, A. Hearn and J. A. Hearn. No resignations have been recorded since the above order went into effect, and even if there should be. it is stated that there are constant applications for positions on the line even at the reduced wages. incendiary Fires. More people are killed by incendiary fires in a month than die by toadstools in a year. The incendiary fire loss in one year probably more than equals the entire value of all the bicycles produced in the United States. When insurers realize that insurance companies are organized to distribute the money of policy holders, and not their own capital, the sentiment in re- gard to criminal fires will undergo a marked awakening. At present there is a suspicious fire in our east side section, every few months, sacrificing the lives of several people. Were one child mur. dered each year in this city by some re- ligious sect there would be riot unless the authorities stamped out the prac- tice, and yet it is likely that at least a dozen a year die by cont-rived fires in the Metropolitan district credit. “New good digestion war! an appetite, And health on but ."

One Hundred Hands Thro'wn Out ' of Work. About half-past nine o’clock Satur- day night the famiiy of Peter Shields living on‘ Hamilton avenue, discovered fire in the large fur factory of Martin Bates Jr. & Co. , on Spring street, South Norwalk. Messengers were at once dispatched to the residence of Mr. Frank Smith, the superintendent of the firm, and to the electric light station, where an alarm was sent in from box 32.. Mr. Smith and his brother reached the factory before the fire department and finding the fire confimd to the “grinding room” at once turned the factory hose upon the flames. Assist- ance arriving the safe was removed from the burning building and all papers of value in the office were so- cured. As soon as the fire department arrived- a stream of water was turned on from the rear and another run up to the second story from the front, but as soon as the water was turned on from the hydrant one of the couplings on the latter line of hose parted, not hav- ing been properly coupled, allowing the hose to fall to the ground, and be- fore it was secured and coupled the fire had gained such headway that it was beyond the control of the firemen. The. heat from the burning building was intense and drove the firemen from their work several times. The old Volk hat factory on the opposite side of the road caught fire. and was partially con- sumed and will prove a total loss as there was no insurance carried upon it. Sparks flew in all directions and some were carried by the light wind as far as South Main street, but did no dam- age. The heat finally set the railroad bridgepn fire and trains on the Con- solidated were stopped and delayed some time. Mayor Lockwood . was promptly on hand and when it was found that the department was unable to cope with the flames a telephone message was sent to Norwalk for Phoe- nix engine, but as the suction pipe was disabled the steamer was not sent and the hose carriage and Hope hose only responded. When the Norwalk boys arrived they were set to work, as were the Vigilant and Mayflower boys of East Norwalk, who had also responded, but owing to the lack of water pressure not much execution was done notwithstand- ing the boys worked with a will. The fire having swept over the entire structure nothing could be done to save the building and the firemen worked to save the adjoining property and succeeded in saving everything ex- cept the old Volk factory. The fur shop was totally destroyed and the only thing left standing to-day is the tall chimney and the acid house in the rear. The engine was badly heated. but from all appearances the boiler has not been damaged and is as good as ever. « The, building contained forty ma- chines eighteen of which were English machines used for cutting the skin from the fur. and were very valuable. There were also 300,000 skins in bales in the building which will also prove a loss. Superintendent Smith estimates the loss at between $80,000 and $100,- 000,which is fully covered by insurance. The company has .a good stock of raw material on handin New York and the new factory at Silver Mine is working full time so that they hope to be able to supply the trade ‘while the factory is being rebuilt, which Mr. E. A. Wood- ward, the owner, has offered to do at once. The loss on the building is esti- mated to be about $15,000 with an in- surance of $5,000. The fire at this time of year is a seri- ous matter with the hundred employee, who were thrown out of work just as winter approaches. As the Norwalk firemen were return- ing home with the hose carriages at- tached to the South Norwalk supp] wagon, and in coming down a hill botlvi carriages collided with the wagon and the tongues of both were snapped in two. The origin of the fire is unknown and it is thought to have been incen- diary, as there was no fire in the build- ing near where the flames were first- discovered. The Jail Doesn’t Suit Him. John Cunningham, recently dis- charged from Jail, writes a long letter to the Post in which he says : “They take a man that is just brought up there and put him in a cell that an-1 other one has been in for probably six months without changing his clothing, and the cell is full of bedbugs and ver- min of every description. They never clean the beds out before putting him in there. It takes only one night in there for a man that is clean to be full of vermin. They do not even give a man a piece of soap or a towel to wash his face or hands. The ticking that is on the beds is as black as coal and has been on there since the jail has been built and if you kick about it they will tell you that you have no business to get up there. If a man staid six months in the cell on lower tier he would be crippled with the rheumatism. This is 'in the old part of the jail where I was for five days before my fine was paid. I do not know anything about the new parti‘beciiuse they are separate. I would not do one month up there now if a man gave me a thousand dollars and I have not ten dollars. I was in cell No. 11, lower tier, in the old department. There are plenty more up there that 'will tell you the same thing, if they Were asked. There is‘a man there from Danbury that . has got to stay there nine days. He said he would take _81X months in state prison rather than nine days in the Bridgeport jail.” Norwalk’s candidate, William A. Kellogg, in the New York Press World’s Fair G. A.
