ANFORD’S GINGER, tried

This law should be perused with care
and obeyed with the most cheerful
alacrity. It is rather tough on the

dollars and cents. The Gazn'rrn will
take great pleasure in publishing the
modest sums that our local candidates
may be forced to disburse.

Serious Allegations.
The most serious allegations ever
made against the officials of an insur—
ance company are cont-Lined in the find-
ing of Judge George W. Wheeler of the
Superior court in the case of Dr. Aus-
tin Fuller of New Haven vs. the Metro-
politan L.fo Insurance Co , the. main
facts of Which were made public Mon-
day.
The testimony of the officials of the
company is handled in a savage manner
by Judge Wheeler in his finding, part
of which follows: “The defendant com-
pany, did not keep its account of the
fund in question according to the plan
represented. It appropriated, before it
passed to the lUud such part as it needed
to make up its deficits. It makes no ad
equate explanation of the gross discrep-
ancy between the representations 111111
the payments made.
“l‘he defendant knew that it cos-
tracted to insure the assignors under
the reserve dividend plan ; it knew
that'it did not keep its accounts accord-
ing to this plan. It has'conducted this
case in almost sole reliance as to the
facts in evidence upon the testimony of
its president, John R. Hegeman, who
was an official of the company When
these politics were issued. Hegeman
is an untruthful witness—he denies in
this suit, as does the company, that the
plan of the policies was the plan of the
Key—that is essentially a false position.
The other present official of the de-
fendant during the period of these
policies was the actuary, Craig, whose
deposition, taken by the plaintiff in
this case, is a manifest attempt on his
part to conceal the truth.
The conclusion from the facts pre-
sented must follow that the rcaSons for
the false position of the defendant in
this case and the attitude of its officers
arises from the facts that the company
has not rendered an honest account.”
There is practically no doubt that the
plaintiffs will proceed against the com-
pany for further satisfaction of a more
material nature than that granted by
Judge Wheeler, and there is also little
doubt that suits will be brought by
other parties in other parts of the
country who are affected favorably by
the decision. It is essentially a test
case brought by Dr. Fuller, and hun-
dreds of persons have been watching
its probable outcome with inter est.

A Dishonest Employee.
A bold robbery took place at the. rcsi«
deuce of John F. Knapp at Bclden Frill,-
near Wilton early Saturday evening in
cold cash, checks and money orders,
belonging to David Jenks, the milk-
man.
Mr. Jenks lives at the Knapp resi-
dence, and until such time as is conven-
ient to place it in the bunk, keeps his
receipts for the day in a tin box in a
bureau drawer in his room. Satur-
day night he went away and did not re-
turn until morning. On going to his
room he found the bureau drawer open
and the box and its contents missing.
Thinking that Mrs. Knapp had taken
it out and placed it somewhere else for
safe-keeping, he was not alarmed, but
on questioning her he found that she
too had found the drawer open and be-
came suspicions that some one had
stolen the box. Her suspicions gained
almost a certainty when she learned
that a young man named Joseph Um-
baster had failed to do his usual work
about the place Saturday evening and
that he was also missing.
Mr. J enk‘s immediately started in
neuron of Umbaster, and notified the
officers in this and other cities to be on
the lookout for him. So far, the fei-
low has not been captured, neither has
any trace of him been secured. -
Umbaster slept in a room adjoining
that of Mr. J oaks and knew where the
money was kept but never before dur-
ing his two years stay on the place has
he been suspected of being dishonest.
It is understood that Umbaster came
from Chicago. He is described as be-
ing about 19 years of age, 5 feet 3
inches tall, black hair, large flat nose
and small blue eyes.
Besides silver and bills the box cdn-
tained a check for $45 issued to Hiram
J ellifi'e, which had been cashed by Mr.
J 611.18, a money order from John H.
Wilson for $25 and one or two other
checks for smaller amounts aggregating
in all a trifle less than $450. Mr. Jenks
has offered a. reward of $100 for the
capture of the thief.
Foot Ball.
A foot ball team has been organized
in this city with Ward Gregory as cap-
tain. The eleven practice this after-
‘noon and on Saturday will play the
Saugatucks.

Found Drowned.
About 4 o’clock Monday mornin..,
James O’Brien, the Consolidated road’s
bridge tender at South Norwalk heard
some one coughing in the lumber yard
of Hatch, Bailey & Co. just South of the
bridge. !
:l=epiid no particular intention to-
tho noise but thought it strange that
anyone should be about the .111rd at
that time in the morning. -,
After the 4:20 train passed over the 5
draw O’Brien’s attention was attracted
by the sound (if some one strangling in
the water. He hastily ran down to the
wharf and in the darkness discovered a
man overboard. He picked up a. plank '
and pushed it towards the. drowning t
manfibut the latter paid no attention to
it, being too far gone to catch hold of ,
the same. '
O’Brien at once notified officer Pen-
nington of the drowning, and the latter
sent for Dr. Burke.
The medical examiner had the body
towed to the float at the Washington
street bridge from where it was removed
to undertaker David W. taymond’s
morgue.
More the body was identified as that
of \t iiii'um Creche. an employee of
Contractor Brown, who had been work-
ing on the improvements. He came to
South Norwalk from Croton Dam, on
August 151., and boarded at No. 1 Ann
street.
At his boarding house, it was learn-
ed that Greehe had eaten his supper at
5.30 o’clock, Saturday evening, but
since that time he had not been seen.
it was also learned that he had been
drinking, but was not intoxicated.
It is thought that Greehe got on a
Spree Saturday night and kept it up
yesterday, and wandered into the lum-
ber yard, yesterday morning, and
walked off the dock in the darkness.
The deceased was about 50 years of
age and has three sons in New York,

Cracked the Safe.
The store of Mather 13: Grumman at
Darien was visited'by burglars at 2:30
o’clock Sunday morning and the safe
blown to pieces and forty doi late in
money abstracted.
At about half past two o’clock Sun-
day morning a boarder named Riley,
was retiring at the Columbus Hotel,
when he was startled by two explosioris.
Looking out of the window he failed to
see or hear anything further and closed
the blinds to his rooms.
The same sound roused the night
watchman at the depot and he came
out on the platform in time to see a tail,
thin man with a. soft slouch lint pulled
down over his face, running from the
store of Mather Sc Grumman.
An investigation showed that the
store had been entered by forcing open
a back door with tools taken from the
blacksmith shop of Alonzo Weed.
Once inside a hole was drilled in the
safe with the same sized drill as was
used on the Rowayton post office. safe. a
short time ago. When exploded the
charge tore the safe to pieces and the
robbers found $40, which they carried
away.

No "Equlnoctlal” This Year.
The fine, clear weather of September
pretty effectually disposed of the popu-
lar theory that when the sun crosses the
equator there must follow severe and
extensive atmospheric disturbances,
high winds, and heavy rains. The equi-
Lnoctial storm used to be an institution
"like Christmas. Thousand of people
believe in it still. The fact that many
a'23d of September has been clear and
cloudless has not broken the faith of
the people, and all that Farmer Dunn
and the rest of the Weather Bureau
have said, has not been sufficient to end
the falacy. _ i
The popular idea is that when the sun
crosses the equator it springs a trap
that lets loose all kinds of unpleasant
weather. Nothing could be more un-
reasonable than this belief, says Mr.
Dunn. The crossing of the line by the
sun has absolutely nothing to do with
the September storms.
