ll Dotti FIRE.
Two Alarms Call Out the Depart-
ment.
Five Horses Burned to Death.
The year 1894 will be remembered in
South Norwalk as one of a large num-
ber of incendiary and other fires. The
last fire called out the department at
about five minutes past three Sunday
morning, at which fire five horses
were burned to death. -
The department had been called out
a few minutes before 12 o’clock Satur-
day night by an alarm from box 35 for
a fire in the coal yard of Raymond
Bros., where a large quantity of soft
coal had been discovered to be burning.
The firemen worked hard to extinguish
the fire in the coal and had succeeded
in putting .it out, and after laying a
line of hose from the hydrant on Water
street to the coal shed left several of
the employees of the yard in charge
and took their apparatus back to their
respective houses. After being dis-
missed they returned home and had
hardly entered their doors before an
alarm was sent in by officer Pennington
calling them to box 32 at the electric
light station. Driver McGowan of
Putnam Hose had just turned in when
Captain Colgrove knocked on the door
”and informed him that there was an-
other fire. Hastily jumping out of bed
he ran down stairs and had met reached
the bottom step when the alarm sound—
ed on his gong. It took but a few
seconds to hitch up and before the
second round was rung he was on the
way to the fire accompanied by several
members of the company who had not
yet gone home from the Raymond fire.
The second alarm proved to be a fire
in the old barn owned by Mrs. George
Seymour on the former nursery proper-
ty fronting on Monroe street. When
discovered th s entire barn was a mass
of flames and before assistance could
be rendered five horses kept in the
building had been roasted alive. Two
streams of water were quickly playing
on the burning structures and
after two hours of hard work the flames
were gotten under control.
The barn Was rented by expressman
Calvin J. Snyder who had the horses
and several wagons and trucks in the
building. The horses were burnt to.
gether with five sets of harness, several
blankets and a quantity of hay and
grain. The trucks were golien out and
taken to a place of safety.
In addition to Mr. Snyder’s three
horses there were two others kept in
the barn, one belongiis .; to Harry Wil~
son of the Adams Lspress company
and the other to Frederick Scofield of
the Metropolitan Insurance company.
Both Wilson’s horse and Scofield’s were
burned, together with their carriages,
harnesses and blankets.
Snyder and Wilson carried an insur-
ance on their property but Scofield
loses everything.
The latter knew nothing of the fire,
until Sunday morning, when he went
to the barn to feed his horse and saw
the five bodies stretched out in death.
The origin of the fire wasundoubt-
cdly incendiary as members of Putnam
Hose on their way home from the Bay-
mond fire passed the barn but a few
minutes before it was discovered in
flames and there was no sign of fire
there.
A large number of people visited the
scene on Sunday and viewed the burned
building. Three of the horses lay to-
gether showing that they had evidently
broken from their fastenings and ran
into the main part of the barn before
being overcome.
The people living in the neighbor-
hood were aWnkened by the screams of
the horses but before they could get to
the building the entire structure was
in flames and the cry of the horses had
ceased.
Snyder had an insurance of $1,000
with O. E. Barker and Wilson had $300
with the same party. The barn, which
belonged to the George Seymour es-
tate, was not insured. ‘

Young Frankm Found ‘Dead
‘ Near the Tracks, Near
Rowayton.
Left South Ncrwali; With a Com-
panion on the I 0.20 Train
Saturday Night.
Short] before the alarm of fire at 3
o’clock unday morning a message was
received at Solman’s stable, requesting
Medical Examiner Burke and the am-
bulance to come to the Rowayton
station and get the body of Frank W.
Loder, a 16 yearoold boy of Noroton,
who had been found dead beside the
Consolidated tracks in the out near the
Rowayton station by track walker
Thomas Fithatrick.
When Dr. Burke arrived at the Bow-
ayton station he found the body of
young Loder in the baggage room.
An examination disclosed a cut onOthe
temple, two broken ribs and an injury
to one 'leg. As no one who could throw
any light on the accident was present
Dr. Burke had the body removed to
Gregory’s morgue at‘ South Norwalk
and telegraphed for Coroner Doten of
BridgepOrt. o
It was learned that Loder and a com-
panion were in South Norwalk Satur-
day night and boarded the train for
home at 10.20 o’clock and that when
the train reached Noroton the compan-
ion went to Loder’s home in that town
and told his father that they were
standing on the steps of the car, and
that when rounding the curve near
Rowayton Frank had slipped off. The
father at once started for Rowayton
and arrived there shortly after the
dead ,body of his son had been found.
When Dr. Burke arrived at Bowayton
Mr. Loder was not there and no one
appeared to know what the name of the
dead boy’s companion was, and the
Medical Examiner thought there were
suspicious circumstances connected
with the case and had the body re—
moved to South Norwalk and the Cor-
oner notified as stated above.
The father of young Frank W Lo-
der, who was found under Gainer’s
bridge at Rowayton by track-walker
Thomas Fitzpatrick Saturday night,ac-
companied by Morris Flarity, the
young man who was with Loder at_the
time of his accident, called at Medical
Examiner Burke’s ofiice Monday
afternoon in response to a summons.
Flarity said that he and Loder. came
to South Norwalk and were walking on
South Main street near the City Hotel
'when the 10.20 train drew into the
depot. That being the last train down
to N oroton that night they ran through.
the yard near the Woman’s Exchange
and climbed the fence at the rear.
When they got upon the tracks a.
freight train was between them and the
train and before they could get clear of
the freight their train was in motion.
Flarity then stated that although
they both had money they thought they
would get a ride home free. With that
idea they got upon the step at the side
of the mail car door and hung on to the
mail bag catcher which crosses the
door nearly at the top. When the train
arrived within a short distance of Row-
ayton station he says he was chilled
through and dropped off and fell, bruis-
ing his leg. He then ran to the depot
to buy a ticket but as the office was
closed he returned to the baggage car.
door and was taken inside by the bag-
gagemaster and made to pay his fare.
He first missed Loder when he himself
jumped off.
From Farity’s story Dr. Burke came
to the conclusion that Loder most have
been struck by Gainer’s bridge, and
being thoroughly chilled was knocked
off and killed as related. With this
conclusion he ordered the body of
young Loder turned over to the father,
which was done.

Against the City-
On January 10th 1802, Mrs. Sarah I
Hall fell in front of the Norwalk hotel
and sustained a fracture of the: leg
which confined her to her home for a
year and a half. She claimed that her
fall was due to a defect in the curbing
and after repeated attemptsto com-
promise the matter for the matter of
$250 or so, brought suit against the
the city for $10,000 damages. Her case
was ably conducted by John J. Walsh
and James T. Hubbell and attorneys
Levi Warner and E. M,‘ Lockwood ap-
peared‘ for the city. After hearing all
the evidence in the case the jury on
June 12, 1894, rendered a verdict in
favor of Mrs. Hall for $1,500
At a meeting of the Council held
Monday, J une 19th last, the city attor-
ney was instructed to take an appeal
from the decision to the Supreme court.
which was done and the case argued by
both sides.
On Monday the Supreme court rend-
ered the decision that “no error is
found and'the verdict of the jury giv-
ing Mrs. Hall $1,500 is sustained.”
The city will now be obliged to pay
Mrs. Hall.the amount of the verdict
and the city attorney will probably be
instructed to bring suit in behalf of the
city against George C. Lockwood, the
owner of the hotel property, who dis-
regarded the notice to relay the curb
which was the cause of the accident.
Burglars at Roto‘n.
On Saturday, it Was discovered that
some of the summer cottages at Boton
Point had been broken into. but noth-
ing of great value had been stolen.
The burglars gained an entrance to
William E. Dann‘s cottage by breaking
out a pane of glass and turning back
the window-catch. '
Mr. Dann says that nothing of value
was taken. The DeKlyn cottage was
also entered in a similar manner. and
it is stated that the club house, was
also broken into. An investigation is
ANOTHERBURGLARY. "
The Consolidated Railroad Depot
at New Canaan Visited.
The Burglars Secure $90 In Cash
and $150 in Checks.
The last of a long list of burglaries
in this section for the past few weeks
occurred at New Canaan at an early
Wednesdaylmorning, and as in most of
the other burglaries a railroad depot
was visited.
Wednesday, when the baggage
master went to the depot he proceeded
to unlock the door, but the lock re-
fused to work. He then took hold of
the knob and the door opened. On
going inide he st'uck .a match for
the purpose of 115. ting a lamp but
found the lamp broken. On fur-
ther investigation he discovered that
the place had been burglarized and im-
mediately notified the station agent,
William A. Reid.
It was found that the safe had been
blown open and rifled of $90 in cash,
and two checks for $150, the latter hav-
ing been left there by the paymaster of
the road to be used in paying off the
employees. .. ’
The safe door was hurled across and
into one corner of the room by the
force of the explosion, and the ticket
office door was blown from its hinges.
The noise of the explosion was heard
by several persons living near the de-
pot,‘ but for some unknown reason they
failed to give an alarm.
Agent Reid took the first train for
Stamford where be notified the railroad
officials of the burglary and caused
payment to be stopped on the checks.
