Shortly after 6 o’clock Sunday even- ing as Miss Katie Noonan, employed at Trowbridge’s box factory at South Norwalk, was going up Cedar street hill, and when a short distance above the ruins of the" old Benedict hat fac- tory, she sawa man come out of the bushes and towards her. Miss Noonan thought the man was under the influ- ence of liquor, as he appeared to stum- ble as he came down the hill. Wishing to avoid him she crossed to the oppo- site side of the road, but the man also crossed in front of her and put out both arms to detain her, at the same ' time exposing his person. As Miss N oonan backed away the Villian made a grab for her right arm, but she evaded him and screamed, at the same time running down the hill towards West avenue. When she reached Mrs. Eben Hill’s barn she turned and looked back - and saw him still standing in the mid- die of the road. She again screamed and this time attracted the attention of several residents of that street, who promptly responded. The rascal see- ing assistance coming darted into the bushes and ran. John Mulvey. who heard Miss Noonan’s screams, started in pursuit of the fleeing man and had almost caught up to him when the mis- creant pulled out~a rev lver and threat- ened to shoot him if he approached any nearer. This sudden exhibition of a pistol stopped Mulvey and the man escaped. He is described as an Italian about 5 feet 5 or 6 inches in height and wore a dark cut-away coat, light pant- aloons and black soft hat. The South Norwalk police have been notified of the affair and are in hopes of capturing the rascal. —-<+ A Barn Burned. ‘ A barn belonging to Frederick Fair- child, and known as the Bennett place, at Saugatuck, was burned to the ground at an early hour Sunday morning.

The Green Goods Game Success-V fully Played on Two Strang- ers at South Norwalk. They Depart Leaving the Evidence Behind. Sunday evening last a gentleman and lady entered the ladies’ entrance at the City Hotel at South Norwalk and re- paired to the Waiting room. The gen- tleman came into the office and in- quired of Mr. Victor B. Wilson, who was engaged reading a newspaper, if that was the City Hotel. On being answered in the affirmative he said he wanted to get rooms for himself and sister. He took up the pen at the desk and wrote upon the register, Henrey Jappe, Wheeling, Va., and Mrs. Emma Mullan, Pittsburgh, Pa. They were assigned to rooms 42 and 41 respectively. Monday morning they had breakfast after which they repaired to their rooms. About 10 o’clock that morning a genteel looking man wearing a. light overcoat entered the hotel and passed through to the bar, where he tooka drink. He then came out and passed through the office to the waiting room where he found Mr. Jappe and Mrs. Mullan, whom he at once greeted. Af- ter talking for a short time Mr. J appe ran hurriedly up stairs as though he was going to his room to obtain some thing. When he returned he and the stranger went out while Mrs. Mullan retired to her room. It is not known when Mr. J appe returned, but shortly before noon some one passing through the upper hall heard sobs eminating from Mrs. Mullan’s room and heard Mr. Jappe bemoaning his fate. The couple soon after departed and nothing more was thought of the matter until later in the afternoon when Landlord Hall assigned a gentleman to the room occupied by Jappe. The new comer had been in the room but a short time when he rang the electric bell and re- quested the porter to remove some things from the room. When the por- ter returned to the office he carried a new tin box, which although securely locked, had one end pried open reveal- ing some newspapers carefully wrapped around a nice red brick. The box and brick at once told Mr. Hall what had been going on, and the cause of Mr. Jappe’s excitement and Mrs. Mullan’s tears were fully explained. It is quite evident that the parties met at the City Hotel by appointment, and that Mr. Jappe ant. Mrs. Mullan had come there for the l.orpose of buy- ing green goods and had instead paid good money fora brch. The fact of Jappe registering himself from Wheel- ing, Virginia, when that city is in West Virginia and spelling his first name “Henrey” as well as Pittsburg with an h at the end when registering his sister plainly indicates that they were not residents of those cities, but had come to South Norwalk from some other part of the country. It is not known where or when the money was paid over to the green goods man and the box received, but it is surmized that when the stranger and Jappe went out they took a carriage and went for a ride during which the exchange was made. The box with the brick safely en- sconced therein was delivered to Chief Vollmer this morning, but it is not thought that anything will result there- from as all the parties to the transac- tion have had plenty of time to get out of the state. . It would be well for all residents of Norwalk to keep a sharp lookout for . these green goods men as the state, and especially. South Norwalk, is being flooded wzth their circulars. ._..___. ___.... _- _._.__.__. Obituary. e lOBERT FLINN.

Y.—Considerable in- terest has been occasioned here over the remarkable restoration to health of Mrs. J. E. Grant. 2 Your correspondent lately called up- on Mrs. Grant, and if there ever exist~ ed a grateful person, she is one. In speaking of her case, she said: “I feel it a duty and a pleasure to speak when- ever I can of my return to health, and I am ever urging sick people to use the same means that I did. I was first troubled with an inward fever, my lips and mouth grew sore, then my kidneys became affected, and a burning, sting- ing sensation in my stomach; this com- plication of troubles made me a very sick woman. I tried the various reme-' dies suggested by my physician but ' me no good. I then advised with the best doctors I could learn of in Otsego and Delaware counties, and they told me I would never be able to . work again. I finally decided to use Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy, as I had heard of how it had cured other people, so I procured 9. bottle and it seemed to do me good from the start. I took it faith- fully according to directions, and to- day I can say I am entirely cured,— not.a trace of the old troubles have I noticed for months past. and I am do- ing more hard work about my house to- day, than I ever dared to do before. It_ built me right up, and I believe it Will make anyone well, if medicine can.” 'Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is Within the reach of all, and the thou- "sandsof testimonials that have been published come from men and women in every station of life.

They are going as the uests of the Press and as the choice of ‘the depositors of over a quarter of a million of ballots cast by the readers of the Sunday Press. As winners in this contest they have the distinction of being the fifty most popular veter- ans within the circulation of the Press ——that is to say, in the whole country. They will leave the West Shore station at Weehawken upon the arrival of the 5 o’clock ferry boats from Franklin and Forty-second street, on Saturday afternoon. Their two Wagner Palace cars will be attached to the Chicago Limited. ' Mr. Kellogg desires the GAZETTE to extend his sincere and heartfelt thanks to all who voted for him and worked so hard to make his “election” sure.

' insane When He Committed the Dead. The family of Matthew Steegmuller, livingat 26 Burritt avenue, South Nor- walk, were startled shortly before 7 o’clock Thursday by hearing a jar- ring noise as thoughsomething heavy had fallen upstairs. Upon making an investi ation they were horrified to find r. Steegmuller lying upon the floor in the attic room with the left side of his face and the top of his head blown off while the ceiling and side walls were covered with blood, brains and hair. Word was instantly sent to Medical Examiner Burke, who prompt- ly responded, and made an examination of the suicide and the surroundings. Dr. Burke decided that Steegmuller had placed the muzzle of a 12 bore muzzle-loading shot gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger with his foot, with the above result. Steegmuller presented a horrible appearance as he lay upon the floor. The left side of his face and the top of his head were com- pletely shot away while his nose hung down over his chin. For two years past Steegmuller has been acting strangely and his family and friends were of the opinion that he was insane, but no thought of his commit- ting suicide had ever been entertained by them. The shot gun with which the dead man killed himself has stood in a closet in his room for nearly a year. - and during all that time it has remained loaded. Mr. Steegmuller has resided in South N orwalk for a number of years and was well and favorably known. He leaves a wife and several children. He was 62 years of age. Robbed the Bar. Mrs. Mary Madden keeps a grocery and liquor store on Franklin avenue, and employs a young man to tend the bar which is in the back part of the store. For some weeks past money to the amount of one or two dollars have been missing from back of the bar. One day last week a five dollar bill was missing. Neither Mrs. Madden or the clerk could account for the loss of the money, but finally by a little strategy they this week succeeded in apprehend- ing the thief, who proved to be a lad named Flaherty, living on Spring Hill. The lad was in the habit of coming to the store to buy porter in a pm]. The porter barrel was in the cellar and while drawing it the clerk was in the habit of leaving the boy alone in the bar room, and as has since been found it was then that the stealing was done. Mrs. Mad- den became suspicions that young Fla- herty was the guilty partyand a trap was set to prove her suspicions were correct. On Monday the lad came as usual for his pail of porter, and the clerk lifting the trap door seemingly as usual went down the stairs, he having dropped the trap-door over his head. After perhaps half a minute had elapsed the clerk suddenly pushed up the dpor and detected young Flaherty behind the bar. The lad stoutly denied that he had ever stolen any money, but after being threatened with arrest he finally confessed to his guilt. The boy’s father was made acquainted with the facts and adjusted matters to the extent that his son escaped arrest. The Assailant Captured. Wednesday Charles Clark, aged 35, was arrested charged with the assault on 16 year old Louise Hoff kens at Long Ridge Tuesday night. ,He is an uncle of the girl.. The girl Was visiting her aunt, Mrs. Harry Lockwood. About 11 o’clock a man entered the girl’s room and carried her from the house and took her into the woods nearby and tied her to a tree. Hours afterwards the girl untied her hands and made her way to her aunt’s house. When the assailant was taking the girl from the house Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood under- took to prevent the man from escaping b were held back at the point of a re ‘olver. _ Mr. Lockwood said he recognized the voice of the man as that of Clark. The foot-prints in the yard and in the woods correspond with the size of the shoes Clark wore. The father of the girl armed with tworevolvers is trying to get at Clark and says he will kill him at sight. Clark is carefully guarded audtwill be taken to the jail in Bridge- por . _ , ‘Mrs. Elizabeth Bowen of_ Quebec, Canada, is a guest of her sister, Miss Sarah Fitch of East avenue.
