Rev. C. S. Wing’s Son Utters
Forged ChGCKSI
National Bank of Norwalk
Among the Victims.
The
A warrant has been issued for Wil-
liam S. Wing, son of the Rev. C. S.
Wing, presiding elder of the Methodist
Church of Brooklyn, and a resident in
the Brevoort Flats, Bedford avenue and
Fulton street. Young Wing is charged
with forging his father’s name to nu-
merous checks and thus defrauding the
clothing firm of Nutting & Co., of
Brooklyn, among others.
The check on which the warrant was
granted was passed on Nutting & Co.
some time ggo. and by them deposited
in their bank, until in the usual course
of clearing it reached the Nassau Bank
of Brooklyn, in which the elder Mr.
Wing kept his account. It was not
honored by the bank, and the clothing
firm immediately instituted an inves-
tigation. They found that the minister
had left his bank book to be balanced
only a few days before, and when it was
returned to him it became evident that
at least thirty checks had been appro-
priated from the book. The reverened
gentleman '“was almost overwhelmed
with grief when he realized that the
forgeries were in the handwriting of his
son. They were chiefly for smallamounts
drawn to the order of different trade
people, but they were aggregated over
$250 and extended for some months.
Mr. Wing sought to shield his son, and
merely directed the bank not to cash
any more such checks, but the action of
Nutting 8: CL. had gone too far to be
withdrawn.
Mr. Wing absolutely refused to talk
on the matter last night, further than
to say that he had put the whole affair
in the hands of Lawyer Foster L.
Backus, of No. 203 Montague street,
who was instructed to defend his son in
case of an arrest.
Young Wing has disappeared and the
police have as yet been unable to locate
him, although he is suspected to have
recently been in Bridgeport where
several forged checks have lately turn»
ed up.
Rev. Mr. Wing was, in 1882, the
pastor of the Second M. E. Church
here and was esteemed and beloved by
his people and all who knew him.
From here he went to a church in
East Bridgeport and from there to
Brooklyn. A short time since his son,
who was personally known to Cashier
Price, presented a check at the N a-
tional Bank of Norwalk, purporting to
be signed by his father, and which was
unhesitatingly cashed. The check was
sent forward in due course for collec-
tion and when it was returned 1 the
notification that Rev. Mr. Wing’s name
to the check was a forgery, his father
was written to and he promptly guar-
anteed its payment, so our bank is not
loser. So far as is yet known the
total of the boy’s forgeries is not large,
but enough to fill the heart of a much
loved father with'the deepest sorrow
over his erring son’s misdeeds.

The Wilson Shoe Mfg. Co.
Mr. S. B. Wilson proposes to utilize
the surplus power room of his large
planing mill, by commencing there,
the manufacture of children’s and cus-
tom made shoes, under the title of The
Wilson Shoe Manufacturing Company.
The concern is to be under the charge
of Mr. Herbert Benedict, son-in-law of
G. A. Franke, Esq. It is intended to
start off within a short time and in a
small way at first and to enlarge and ex-
tend the business as fast as orders in-
crease. The products of the new fact-
ory are to be what is known to the
trade as Childrens’ Turned Shoes. Mr.
Benedict being a practical shoe-maker
will also manufacture any class of fine
shoes to order. ‘ And may the new en-
terprise abundant-1y prosper.
WllS ll ll BOMB?
Mrs. Henry Cornell Injured While
Riding on the. Consolidated
Railroad.
Narrowiy Escaped Being Killed.
Mrs. Henry Cornell, of this city, 'left
New York Monday, on the 6 p. m.
train on her return from a shopping
trip to that city. It being very warm
in the car she partially raised the win-
dow at the end of the seat which she
occupied. Her lelt arm rested on the
window casing. When the train was
' near Greenwich she heard a loud explo-
sion and at almOst the same time felt a
stinging sensation between her elbow
and shoulder as if she had been struck '
by a club or some other hard substance.
Of course she was much frightened as
were other passengers in the car. On
arriving home Mrs. Cornell examined
her arm and found it considerably
bruised and greatly discolored.
The conductor took Mrs. Cornell’s
address and promised to have the affair
fully investigated.
Had the missile or whatever it was
struck Mrs. Cornell on the head the
injury would no doubt have been of a
fatal nature.
She says that she thinks, but is not
positive, she saw something of a light
color fly through the air a second be-
fore she felt the stroke on her arm.
The‘passengers on the car were divid-
ded in their opinion as to the cause of
the accident some attributirl'g to it a
bomb on the track, others to a dyna-
mite cartridge. and yet others to a pre-
mature blast.
It is certainly a matter that demands
a strict investigation.
Mrs. Cornell when seen by a GAZETTE
representative Tuesday, expressed
the opinion that it was a narrow escape
for herself, and said that it was a great
mystery to her as to what caused the
acciden‘. She said that the arm was
painful, and that oddly enough the
sleeve of her dress was in no wise cut
or damaged.
A COUNT IN TROUBLE.
He Is Accused of Striking a Colored
\Voman and Is Under Arrest.
NEW YORK, Sept. 271—00th Augustus
von Millingc, 25 years old, a purveyor in
Constantinople, but at present stopping at
the Astor House, was arraigned in the
Jefferson Market police court today by
Policeman Charles Johnson of the West
Thirtieth street station.
The count was arrested in Broadway on
a. charge of insulting a young colored
Woman. .
As soon as the Turkish merchant was
placed at the bar Matilda. Singleton of 145
self to Magistrate Leroy B. Crane and or
hibited a swollen and bruised left eye.
She said that while she was on-her way
home last night from a picnic, in Broad-
way, near Thirty-eighth street, the pris-
oner acted in an outrageous manner. This
conduct she resented and pushed the man
away from her.
The stranger resented being pushed and
struck her a blow in the face that caused
the swolling visible in court.
The Turkish nobleman’s friends en-
gaged Lawyer Rogers to look after Von
Millinge’s interests. He told a different
story.
Count von Millinge, he said, had just
parted with a friend and was about to
board a cable car for his lodgings when he
was accosted by the colored woman. He
did not wish to have anything to say 'to
her, and he put out his hand to push her
away. .
The woman struck him twice in the
face. The woman’s screams brought the
policeman and he was taken in custody.
Lawyer Rogers said he understood that
a citizen witnessed the affair and told the
policeman that the woman was the person
in the wrong. Counsel wanted time to
get that witness.
Magistrate Crane said he would hold
the accused in $300 bail for examination,
so that the witness could be found.

Germany’s Great Leader
Speaks a. Startling Truth.
And Gives a Lesson We
Will Do Well to Heed.
He Says, “Blood and Iron
Rule the World.”
J ust What This May Mean
To Every One of Us.
Such Startling Words Bring
The Truth Home to Us.
When Brince Bismark, Germany’s
great leader said, “The world is not
ruled by parliaments and political meet-
ings, but by blood and iron,’ ’ he utter-
ed a truth, the extent of which few com-
prehend. The world is ruled by race——
race, is ruled by blood—pure blood. All
genius_and all talent, in war and in
peace, 1s dependent on the conditions
of the blood. It is the main spring of
individual force and power. It vitalizes
or enervates the physical and mental
strength. We speak of blooded stock
in the animal kingdom; it will apply
with equal force to the human race.
When Greece was full of vitalenergy,
when she cultivated her physical health
she became mistress of the world, and
her great Alexander wept for other
worlds to conquor; but when she be-
came efi‘eminate, a horde of barbarians
over-ran and destroyed her, leaving be-
hind them a path of mournful ruins. In
tainted blood, impure and weak, was
written that nation’s sad epitaph. So
queenly Rome and many another nation
has suffered in the loss of physical
prowess and been destroyed or hurt.
We need. both as a nation and as indi-
viduals, to take this important lesson to
ourselves. Be well and keep so; mend
up the waste places; strengthen the
nerves and purify the blood. Then
long life is assured; godd work in the
world will come, and you will know the
blessing of sound body and happy mind.
Nothing has yet been discovered to ac-
complish this like Dr. Greene’s N ervura
blood and nerve remedy.
The great Bismark did no more for
Germany in discovering her elements
of unity and enforcing them. than has
this distinguished specialist done for
mankind in discovering his wonderful
remedy for all blood ailments and nerve
weakness, giving health and strength
and happiness to all who will take it
and be cured of their sufiering. Do
not fail to improve this fortunate op-
portunity. Take Dr. Greene’s Nervura.
.blood and nerve remedy and you can
be well and strong, strong to conquer
what end you undertake in life. ‘
Mr. F. A. Arnold, of Woodsvillc, N.
“ three months ago I was in
a very debilitated state. My stomach
refused to act, and after eating Isufi'er.
My blood
did keep around,
but sufiered continually. My kidneys
bothered me considerably. and I had
continual pain in the small of my back.
I was considerably discouraged about
my condition, and feared that I should
be obliged to give up work. I heard of
Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy and its wonderful results upon
others, and I determined to try it.
I had no faith in the virtues of the
remedy when I began its use, but now
I am rejoiced to say that I cannot help
having faith, for it completely cured
me, and I work with comfort every
day.
My business israilroading, which I
could not now do if it had .not been for
Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
rplmedy and I gladly recommend it to
a .,’
Why waste time in trying uncertain
and untried remedies, when here is a
physician’s prescription, a discovery
made by the greatest living specialist
in curing nervous and chronic diseases.
.Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St.. New
York City. If you take this medicine
you can consider yourself under Dr.
Greene’s direct professional care, and
you can consult him or write to him
about your case, freely and without
charge. This is a guarantee that his
remedy will cure, possessed by no other
medicine in the world.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
National G. A. R. Encampment-
The late encampment of the G. A. R.
at Louisville, Ky., was its first session
holden on what may be termed “seces—
sion soil.” Yet it has never been wel-
comed with a more hearty greeting, or
entertained with greater liberality of
spirit and friendliness.
It was truly a union of both heart and
hand, between the Blue and the Gray.
There seemed to be a desire on the part
of the confederate soldier. to extend
such a welcome as should blot out every
thought of North and South, and to
again stand united under one common
flag waving over an undivided country.
Every door seemed .to be open and
every effort made to‘bestow that hospi-
tality for which the Southern people
have ever been noted.
If those who fought the battles, enter-
ing into those deadly struggles, can lay
aside all prejudice, and bitterness of
feeling and join hands in friendliness
and union of patriotic purpose, how
much more readily should those, who
had no part in those deadly struggles,
lay aside all feelings of animosity and
sectional hatred, and help become a
united people, cemented together in the
fraternal bonds of brotherhood.
As an instance of this fraternal spirit,
let me say that Mr. W. H. Benedict, a
resident of Louisville, being a relative
of Mrs. Henry Allen, who resides in
Norwalk, extended, through her, an in.
vitation to all delegates of the G. A. R.
and the Woman’s Relief Corps, of N or-
walk, who might attend the encamp-
ment, to make their home with him
during their stay in that city. And to
those who accepted this other, every
hospitality and kindness was extended,
even to the visiting of public buildings,
public parks and other places of amuse-
ment and public resort.
The dedicatory services upon the
battlefields of Chickamauga and Look-
out Silountaiu, were also demonstrations
of the same friendly feeling between
the veterans of the Federal and Confed-
erate armies, where the credit to valor
was awarded to those who participated
in the deadly struggles of_those bloody
fields. The same generous hospitality
was shown, and the thousands of visit-
ing people were amply cared for during
their stay at the city of Chatanooga.
The journey from Louisville to
Chickamauga, is over one continuous
line of sacred ground to the old veter-
ans of the Cumberland Army, dotted
with successive battlefields of more or
less notoriety. Therefore every mile
was fraught with sacred memories,
making the entire trip one of interest
and enjoyment.
The old battlefield of Chickamauga,
where I received four gun shot wounds
during the two days of fighting, had
never been visited by me since the
night I lay behind the little breastwork
of rails, after Thomas’ forces had re-
treated, to be gathered up among the
wounded by the Provo-guard of Bragg’s
army, and sent to military prisons in
the Southern confederacy.
I have not only lived to see that strug.
gle properly recognized as one of the
bloodiest, but to see those days of dark-
ness and toil turned into brightness and
prosperity. F. W. PERRY.

REDDING.
Deacon John H. Lee’s funeral takes
place this Tuesday afternoon, his pas-
tor of the Congregational church, ofiici-
ating. Mr. Lee was in his eightieth
year, being seventy-nine years, eleven
months and ten days old at his demise.
He leaves a wife aged seventy-eight.
He was a deacon in the First Congre-
gational church for a long- number of
years. For forty-seven years he was a
faithful, weekly market man between
Bedding and Norwalk and very rarely
indeed did he ever miss a 'trip. His
nephew and foster son, John H. Lee,
now of Boston, and at one time Warden
of the Borough of Norwalk, lived with
Deacon Lee during many years of his
boyhood life. He was as'wheat fully
ripe for the harvest when the Reaper
came.
New Ice Pond.
A deed has been duly signed and
placed on record transferring
Frank H. Merrill the Silver Mine '
dealer, a plot of ground consisting
about ten acres, and located on the old
logg place on the New Canaan road.
The property is bounded by land he-
longing to the estate of Edward Taylor,
heirs of Francis Kellogg, . and land of
. Charles and Edward Kellogg.
There is a brook running through the
property and Mr. Merrill proposes
building a dam and using the brook for
the flooding of the property which he
will convert into an immense pond to
be used as an ice pond. He will also
build a large ice house and make exten-
sive improvements about the property
looking to advance facilities in fur-
nishing his customers with pure ice. ,
Several thousand dollars ,will be ex-
pended in the venture which will no
doubt prove a success.

' ANOTHER BURGLARY.
Orrin K. Scoileld’s HOUSG on Main
Street. Robbed-
Entrance Gained Through a Kitchen
Window.
The residence of Orrin K. Scofield,
on Main street, was entered by burglars
Tuesday night or early Wednesday
morning.
They gained an entrance into the build-
ing from a kitchen window at the rear
of the house.
In order to reach the window the
burglars placed a board on two chairs.
They then inserted a chisel or like in-
strument under the window sash and
pried on the same until the window-
fastener or catch broke 011'. Previous
to this they removed a baking of bread
dough and some other articles from a
shelf on the window sill, after which
their entrance to the room could be
made without fear of noise. ,
They then proceeded to the sleeping
apartments in the second story of the
house, first, it is believed visiting, the
room occupied by Mr. Scofield where
they abstracted a pocketbook from his
inside vest pocket, and containing
about $10 in money, after which they
politely hung the vest on a hat rack in
the hall.
They also secured a silver watch and
a small amount of change which Mr.
Scofield had neglected as was his cus-
tom to place in the safe at his store near
by.
The burglar or burglars then visited
the room of Mr. Scofield’s daughter
Ella, where they secured another pock-
etbook containing a small amount of
money. Luckily they missed finding a
pocketbook belonging to Miss Hattie
Scofield and which contained about $20
the property of one of the M. ‘E. church
societies of which she is treasurer.
The thieves failed to find or did not
care to take quite a quite a quantity of
valuable jewelry that was within easy
reach of their thieving hands.
On investigation Tuesday, a rug,
shawl and section of ctrpet stolen from.
the house was found under a tree in a
near-by orchard, spread out, as though ,
after completing their nefarious work
the thieves had laid down and taken a
snooze until daylight.
N o clue whatever has been gained as
to who the burglars are. Chief Bradley
was early at the scene, and possibly the
guilty parties may be apprehended.
At Rest.
The decease of Mrs. Maria V. A. Carter.
of West avenue, creates a void that can-
not easily be filled. She belonged to
the old New York Mott family and was
from childhood identified with the old
Trinity parish of that city, but upon
coming several years since, to Norwalk,
transferred her loyalty to Rev. Dr.
Swoope of Trinity Chapel tothe incumv
bent at that time of St. Paul’s oln this
town, and has here strewn her entire
church pathway with beneficent and
blessed ministrations. Her signal na-
ture and character, grace and goodness
have adorned and dignified human liv-
ing and her memory is a ric h legacy.
The choral burial office was yester-
day performed over her bier in the
Berkley Street Chapel after which the
remains were borne to one of the loveli-
est sleeping spots on Manhattm island
where, into a grave flooded with golden
sunlight and close to that of her lament -
ed husband,they were reverentlv lower-
ed. A sepulture office was Bu. 1 and the
company with uncovered herds stoo d
by until the tomb was completely filled
and its raised mound was crowned with
rare blossoms, beneath which asstirred
'by the evening breeze, the emerald
leaves over the family plot, breathed
svespers, was left to sweet and sacred
,repose, this pure and true daughter of
the faith. ‘
Among the group at the grave side
were the two nephews of the departed,
the scholarly Dr. Carter, of the East.
and his accomplished brother, who had
only the day before arrived in America,
from abroad. Dr. Carter’s wife, 9.
Sandwich Island lady of high rank, was
present at the service in the chapel Of
Our Holy Saviour.
