': As the “Gilt Edge”~ express which leaves New York at 5 o’clock was near- ing the Whistleville bridge below the South Norwalk station Monday even- ing, a Polish Jew was seen by_ Mrs. L. R. Bouton, of Ely avenue, to either fall or jump off. The man struck the ground with terrible force and rolled over sev- eral times. He was unable to rise and help was summoned and he was carried into Mr. Bouton’s house. Later in the evening the new ambulance, driven by Henry Jennings, went to the house and carried the injured man to the Norwalk hospital. As he could not talk English it was impossible to learn his name. An examination showed that no bones were broken but that he had sustained a bad wrench of one knee. He is re- ported to be quite comfortable today. His escape from death was miraculous as the train was running at the rate of fifty miles an hour when he fell or jumped. The appearance of the_hand- some new ambulance and the ringing of the gong created considerable _ex- citement on the street, many mistaking it for the supply wagon of the fire de- partment. On the way to Ely avenue the ringing of the gong brought the residents of the different streets to the doors and windows expecting to see a conflagration, but when it waslearned that it .was the new ambulance gomg for an injured man expressions of com- mendation for the service were heard on all sides. ' Assigned. At the meeting of the stockholders of the Union Manufacturing company, held at its office on Monday, it was voted to make an assignment of all of the property and estate of the company to a trustee for the b nefit of all of its creditors. Mr. Alexan er Semple being agreeable to all parties present, he was r commended as such trustee. The eeds of the property will probably be drawn up to-day by Attorney Hurlbutt. * . Regatta.

WEEKLY—N ORWA nK .- GA-Z ll BURGUlR CllPlUlllfD.‘ Run Down by Two Farmers and Arrested. I a \ He Makes a Confession; Shortly after noon Sunday. says the Bridgeport Union, George Beers and. George Gregory, wealthy farmers re- siding at Easton Centre, walked into police headquarters leading a man whose wrists were tied together with a hitching strap. They asked that he be held for the Easton authorities who would prosecute him for burglary. The man was searched and locked up while Gregory and Beers went to their team to show some of the goods“ stolen by the fellow. He gave his name as John Blorri and hung his head as if he feared recognition. When Beers and Gregory returned from the wagon they bore with them over $200.worth of 'ewelry, silverware and wearing appar- el which had been stolen from Greg- ory’s house. They then told a story which showed that the prisoner was a thorough going burglar and that they were men of pluck. Sunday morning the Beers and Greg- or families went to church together as they usually do, Mr. Beers and Mr. Gregory being ‘brothers-in-law. Before the conclusion of the service Mrs. Gregory was taken sick and was obliged to leave the church. She was driven home and on arriving there it was found that someone had broken out a window of the Gregory farmhouse with an axe. The interior of the house was a scene of confusion, drawers and clos- ets having been ransacked and their contents scattered round the house. All the jewelry and watches as well as three suits of Mr. Gregory’s clothing had been taken. The thief after ran- sacking the house had gone to the barn and hitched a horse to a road wagon which he used to carry off the plunder. Beers and Gregory jumped into the team they had driven to church and started in pursuit of the burglar. The horse he had "taken was an old one and had a habit of running from one side of the road to the other. The zig-zag- ging of the wheel tracks made it an easy matter to keep the trail which led through a back road to Norwalk. At a. point near Bradley’s axe factory the burglar’s turnout was sighted ii. a piece of woods. He whipped up his horse when he saw his pursuers but the horse was then about winded and so was soon overtaken. Beers grabbui the bridle and ordered the burglar to surrender. He offered fight but was pulled out of the wagon by Gregory and his hands bound. He was then driven to this city. His face seemed familiar to Capt. Birmingham and he asked the burgular if he had not seen him before. “I dont think you have,” answer. “ es I have” said the captain, “you’re Billy Gaton, and we want you for steal- ing a horse and buggy last September. ” "You’re mistaken in your man,” said Ellie fellow and he refused to talk fur- er. The captain then had the burglar .photographed, which had the effect of getting him to make a cofession. When he was brought back from the artist’s he asked to see the captain. He then said that he was the man who took ex- Alderman Daniel Smith’s horse and buggy on the morning of Sept. 1. He had driven the team to New York and had left it in a stable. He did not know what had become of it after. He said he had come from New York Saturday night and went to Easton, where he looked round for a place to rob. Gaton is about 30 years old and in 1887 was sentenced to the state prison for four years for committing a num- ber of burglaries in Fairheld. He has been known as William Donnelly and has sentences aggregating a life- time if convicted for his numerous crimes. Gaton makes his home in New York, where he has been employed on the elevated railroad. He has been driven to crime by ill luck in obtaining and retainining employment. Gaton is the man whom the police have all along maintained stole Daniel Smith’s turnout. He was tracked into New York by Detective Arnold but the trail was lost in the city. Since then the police have been on the lookout for Gaton and have felt positive that he would be brought to justice. He was known to have friends in Bridgeport and Capt. Birmingham has had the mails watched for a clue to his whereaboutsbutnothingpassedthrough the local post ofiice bearing his address. was the $100 Reward $100.

Palmer of the Fitch- burgh Railroads Advise Their Overworked Brethren. These is no body of men who labor more hours continuously than railroad men. 80 constant and tiring are their responsible duties that there are few who do not suffer from overwork and, nervous troubles, and it does not take long before the strongest constitution gives way to the ravages of disease. Dyspepsia, rheumatism, urinary' and kidney troubles have incapacitated many a man that could have been saved if the ‘proper precaution had been taken. Engineer Wm. Huston, of the West Shore railroad, in speaking to a report- er of the disposition of people to neg- lect their , physical condition, said: "‘For years I suffered from kidney trou- ble and dyspepsia; at times I was in so much pain, I thought I would have to give up my engine. I had been under the treatment of various physicians, but derived no benefit. Finally, one day Conductor Frazer, of our road, said to me, ‘Huston. get a bottle of Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy; it will do you.more good than all the doc- tors in existence.’ I followed this ad- vice, and in a few days I began to feel better and I have been well ever since.” . A. Palmer, of the Fitchburgh Railroad’s freight department at Troy, N. Y., in speakingof the great good he had received from using Favorite Rein- edy, said: “I was troubled with uri- nary difiiculty for a long time. My at- tention was called to Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy ; I began its use, and in a few weeks was cured of the trou- ble. I have since used it as a family medicine with splendid results, espec- ially in cases of constipation and stom- ach difl‘iculty. ” Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is a natural antidote for diseases arising from uric acid in the blood; in cases of scrofula, sleeplessness or nervousness, it cures where all else fails.

The Horse Railroad and Tramway Company and the. South Nor- 7 walk Council Reaching an Agreement. ‘ The Matter Will Probably be Ad- justed on Friday Night and Work Commenced. pointed by the South Norwalk City Council, to consider and report upon the application of the Norwalk Horse Railroad company to, double track their road and equip the same with electrici- ty within the city limits, held at the Council rooms Monday night, Presi- dent E. J. Hill, of the Horse Railroad company, appeared and submitted an application and agreement as passed by the stockholders of the Railroad company at their meeting Monday af- ternoon. The application called for the double tracking of the road from the city line to a point 'opposite the Congregational church and a single track from there to the depot of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The description of the rails and bonding of the same and the over- ’-head trolley wire, together with poles etc., was the same as previously printed in the GAZETTE. ‘ The agreement submitted by the Railroad company provides that in case their plans are approved, substantially as submitted, the company holds itself responsible for and Will make good to the city all damage of every'kind sus tained by reason of the electric cur- rent used as motive power, by way of damages to the water pipes of the city, lying or being in the highway, or else- where, up to the value of the pipes so damaged together with the cost of re- laying the same and replacing the high- way .in as good condition as before, prov1ded that in the installation of new pipes, or in changing old ones, the pipes shall not be left needlessly'cx- posed to damage from electric currents; also that the city shall allow the Rail- road company, at its own expense, un- der the direction of the city’s Water Commissioners, to make such changes or application, in or to said water pipes as may not injure the water service, and as may be shown to- be desirable, from time to time by the best electrical experience. The committee adopted the layout, rails, poles etc., but the agreement was modified by striking out that part that limited the responsibility of the com-- pany only “up to the value of the pipes so damaged, together with the cost of relaying the same.”A clause was insert- ed requiring the company to lay a gran- ite block on the outside and inside of each rail, to pave between the inside blocks and between the tracks with cob- ble stones. The blocks on the outside to be laid traverse with the rails and those inside parallel. Another clause was in- serted prohibiting the opening up at one time of more than 500 feet of the street between the city line and the Congregational church and 250 between the church and the Consolidated rail- road depot. The Tramway agreement was made the same as the Horse Railroad with the exception that the granite block outside and inside the rail was omitted and cobble stone paving only between the tracks and two feet outside re- quirea. If the Horse Railroad company ac-l cepts the amended agreement as "pre- sented by the committee it will be pre- sented to the council Friday night and adopted, when work can at once com- mence. The stockholders of the Tramway company will hold a meeting on Thurs- day afternoon and in all probability the agreement will be signed and work on the extension of their tracks to Roton Paint commenced at once. -—.__.__.‘- Found Guilty. Shortly after 4 o’clock Tuesday after- noon the Jury in the Florence Hawley murder case reached a verdict of man- slaughter, and the prisoner’s counsel moved a stay of sentence. Arguments on the motion are to be heard Thurs- day morning by Judge Torrance. Mrs. Hawley’s lawyers believe they can present facts which will cause the Judge to be lenient in imposing the maximum penalty for manslaughter, which is ten years in prison. Mrs. Hawley, who has exhibited remarkable nerve during both trials, was not the least hfi'ected when the verdict was announced. She is convicted of shoot- ing and butchering Mary Munson of Shelton on December 21, 1891, and at the first trial the jury disagreed. Four Big Successes.
