Stone, widow of the late Col. Edward Stone, died at her home on Camp street, during Saturday night or early Sunday morning, aged about78 years. Mrs. Stone was down town Friday morning,‘ in apparent good health. She made no complaint Saturday of feeling ill and retired in the evening about nine o’clock. Mrs. Stone had in her employ a colored girl who was known as “Monte.” Sunday morning the girl dressed her self to attend church, and at 7:30 as she passed the doorway leading to Mrs. Stone’s room. rapped on it, and said “Mrs. Storfe I am going. Good bye.” Receiving no answer she opened the door and looked in. She again called to Mrs. Stone, who did not answer. She then went to the bedside and tried to arouse her. Failing to awake her, she became alarmed and went to Mrs. Gould Jennings who lives in the same house and told her that she guessed Mrs. Stone was dead. Mrs. Jennings and her daughter went to the room and soon after summoned Dr. J. W. McLean who lives near, and who on hisarrival pronounced her dead. Coroner Burke was summoned and. after the usual examination, guys the cause of her death as due to a paralytic stroke. It is believed that she had been dead for some hours. The deceased suffered a slight stroke about two years cg. , but had, as was supposed, fully re- covered from that attack. '. Mrs. Stone was the eldest daughter of the late Judge Stephen Smith. She had but one child, a daughter, who mur- ried a man named Tucker, both of whom died some years since. A grand- son is still living in Chicago. She was a sister of Miss Anna R Smith and Mrs. Charles F. Osborn. Her sudden death was ashock to the community. But at the end of a long and stirringlife to lay down to peaceful slumber and awake in paradise, is not death but a heavenly transition. Obituary. MARY PLATT STOIV' E. The remains of Mrs. Mary Platt Stone; daughter of the lute Judge Stephen and Polly Smith and widow of the late 001. Edward Stone were in- terred Wednesday, in the family tomb in St. Paul’s church yard. The deceased was formerly intimate in Al- bany and Troy circles but has of recent years been identified with her native town. Like her father she was of digni- fied bearing and she has caused her name to be held in grateful memory by her benevolent spirit and beneficient ministrations. She took great pride in her Smith, Betts, Platt and Hanford ancestry. Norwalk has had at least four distinct Smith households, viz. the Smith-Marvin, the Jam-.ucnSmith, the Hadley-Smith and the Scotland-Smith hearthstones. Mrs. Stone was of the Hadley-Smith lineage the Norwulk pro- genitor of which planted himself at the head of the ancient. Roscoe Creek there founding one of the best known of this town’s family lines. Her Platt blood was that of Richard Plait of Milford and her Betts, blood that} of Thomas Bette of Guilford, and she was of direct descent from Rev. Thomas Hanford the first minister of Norwalk The great grief of her life was the loss of her only and beloved daughter Agnes. This young lady, in whom existed most charming qualities, after graduating at Bishop Doane’s Burlington, N. J. Semi. nary, married into the Tucker family of Louisville, Kentucky. Her life was bright but brief and her mother has been a deep mourner for many years. St. Paul’s parish by this providence of Sunday last loses a devoted member and Norwalk a loyal daughter. She passed hence on the anniversary of her parent’s bridal and the fourteenth an- niversary of her father's burial. He wished to be laid away at close of day and his oldest child will be placed at even-tide beside him. The two parents and the children Mary P., Burr, Le- Grand, Ann B., Harriet, Isaac and Kemper composed the original house- hold, two of the members of which Ann B., and Harriet (Mrs. Charles F. Osborn) survive. ‘v Wreck at Cannons. ‘As the wrecking train from Danbury was passing through Cannons at 7.30 o’clock Sunday morning the engine a. Mr. Kennel of that place. The body of the animal was thrown to one side by the engine, but it imme- diately swung around across the rails in front of the cars throwmg two flat cars and the tool car from the track and wrecking them. There was" no one hurt by the acci- dent, but the tracks were blocked for nearly two hours before the debris was cleared away. At time of the accident the wrecker was on its way to this city to clear away the wreck at Jenning’s crossing; which occurred on Saturday. Barhydt—Kissam. Rev. George W. Bcrhydt, rector of Christ's "church, 'Westport, and Miss Jennie Kisscm, of Newtown, were married in Trinity church, at New- town, Tuesday noon, Rev. George T. Linsley officiating.

Mumford’s Funeral. . The funeral of Oliver R. Mumford, who met his death by falling from u Tramway car, Thursday night, was one of the largest ever held in South Nor- walk. The funeral took place from his late home 011 Concord street, Sunday afternoon, Rev. S. B. Pond, rector of St. Paul’s church. this city, officiating The remains were encased in an oak casket beautifully trimmed with white silk, and silver handles. The casket was embowered in flowers—heartfelt testimonials from sorrowing friends. Noticeable among the floral offerings was a large “L” made up of choice flowers, and sent by his feflow employ- ees of the Lock factory; a handsome wrenth‘of rosebuds with I. O. 0. F. in- blue immortelles on its face, from his brothers of Butler Lodge; 11. printer’s stick, deftly made of flowers and typi= 0111 of his trade as a printer, and an ele- gant pyramid of choice and fragrant blossoms, as well as several smaller bunches of lillies, etc. The beautiful Episcopal service was read, after which an opportumty was given those present to take a final look at one whom in life they had loved and respected—:“the man who always loved and cared for his mother.” The cover was then placed over the face of him whom loving friends had assembled to pay their last tribute of respect, and the casket was borne to the hearse and tenderly deposited in the same by six of his brother Odd Fel- lows, who acted as pall bearers. Preceeded by Rector Pond. and fol- lowed by twenty members of “the art preservative of all arts,” and nearly two hundred members of the fraternity of Odd Fellows and a delegation from Phoenix Engine company, the funeral cortege moved on. Solemnly the processionentered Union cemetery where the remains of poor Oliver R. Mumford were lowered to their last resting place, as Rev. Mr. Pond with pathos read the touching Episcopal committal service. Before the earth that was to forever close from view the remains of their brother, had been deposited, members of Butler and Our Brothers Lodges, I. O. 0. F. paid their last sad rites to his memory. Chaplain Brown of Butler Lodge read the burial service of the Order and n quaitette sang “Shall We Meet Beyond the River?” They then dropped (sprigs of evergreen. into the grave, and the touching services were ended. Peace to his ashes Tho Mumford Case. In view of a large number of new facts coming to light, Medical Examin- er Burke on Tuesday telephoned Cor- oner Doten to withhold his finding in the killing of Oliver R. Mumford at Rowayton lust Thursdaynight until he can personally interwew him. New and important evidence as to the habit of Motormun Paxton and Conductor Smith changing positions on the car are daily coming to light, and testimony relative to their person- of habits is also being adduced. There are several witnesses who are said to have seen Smith acting as mo- torman and Paxton as conductor the nose who can positively state their po- sitions on the car at the time of: the ac- cident. If these report» are true, Messrs. Paxton, Smith and Beers will no doubt have a chance to answer to the charge of perjury. One of the latest points brought for- ward is the action of Paxton. On the morning after the accident he visited a relative of the deceased and told her the story of Mumford’s fatal fall. He stated that the victim turned around twice and fell off the car backwards. This statement of Paxton to one of Mumford’s immediate family the morning after the accident,will go very far towards proving the general opinion that Paxton was on the rear end- of the car at the time Mumford fell, and not on the front end as he swore at the coroner’s inquest. If he was, as he swore, on the front end of the car how was he able to describe the accident so minutely? Another point that will go far to dis- credit the testimouy of Paxton is the statement made to a representative of the GAZETTE by Superintendent Mans- field on the night of the necident. Mr. Mansfield in relating the accident said that Paxton had told him that when Mum- ford boarded the car at Rowayton he, Paxton, told Conductor Smith to make him go inside as he was in no condition to ride on the platform. When Paxton appeared before Cor- oner Doten not a word of this came from his lips, nor did he attempt to de- scribe Mumford‘s fall from the car as he had so minutely described it to a member of the family on Friday morn- ing. There is no doubt in the mind of the public that there is a story behind the killing of Mumford which has not as yet been ascertained, and it is sincere- ly hoped that Coroner Doten and Med- ical Examiner Burke will leave no stone unturned to get the truth of the matter. If they succeed and discover that witnesses before the coroner have deliberately perjured themselves, it is hoped that they will prosecute them to the full extent of the law. ‘ At Last They Have Confessed. Coroner Doton came from Bridgeport Thursday. morning, to resume the —,- .. , . . .. . . v~€~A4|£ «3.; .-'.-_:;.- Ego” .. . ‘r" . - r- ,. _ night before the accident; also a. wit-, taking of testimony in the Mumford case. When the Coroner reached Dr. Burke’s ofllce he was informed by the latter that Paxton and Smith had called on the Medical Examiner last night and confessed the whole story, and would again be there this morning to make the some statements to the Coroner, in person. i In a few minutes Paxton and Beers appeared, but Smith failed to show up. It; isthought that he is sick. The Coroner took Paxton into Dr. Burke’s private ofiice where he gave what he now says is the truth ofthe killing of Mumford. Paxton told the Coroner that be de- sired to withdraw the testimony given by him under oath, and that at- the time he testified he never thought that he was committing purjury, but was at- tempting to shield Conductor Smith, whoit was feared would be discharged by the TmmWay company if it was known that he was acting as motorman. Paxton went on to say that Smith was acting as motorman and he as con- ductor at the time of the accident. Mumford Was standing on the rear platform and as the ear rounded the own: there \V-i‘l a silght lurch and he was thrown oii'. As he fell, Paxton says he gave the signal to stop and reverse and then rushed through the car and took the handles from Smith, telling him to bring his trolley around. He then took the handles to the rear end and started the our back for the spot where Mumford had fallen, and assisted in picking the dead man up and placing him in the car. Paxton further said that he was as- sisted in raising and carrying Mumford by a ma'n named John Mott, who was near when the accident occurred. When again questioned as to the speed of the car Paxton said that as near as he could judge it was going at the rate of six miles an hour. The truth of this statement Wlll have to be verified by Mott, who it is said was a witness to the accident. Mott is engaged on an oyster boat but: a sub- poenas has been issued for his appear- ance, Young Beers made a similar state- ment to that ofPuxton,claiming that he also desired t) shield Smite when he gave'false testimony at the inquest. Now that the story of Mum ford’s death has no fur been learned, it is hoped thst<Mott will be able to clear up the question of,speed, which is be- lieved to have been very fast as testi- fied to by the witness Kantro. The witnesses. Paxton and Beers, having acknowledged that they tes- tified-falsely at the inquest and Con- ductor Smith having made the same statement to Dr. Burke. Coroner Doten should not hesitate to have them all brought up for perjury. _._+..> Manslaughter Charged. John Nelson, the Swede, and William West, colored, were given a. hearing before Judge Frost in the town court' Wednesday, on the charge of having been instrumental in the killing of Jo- seph Bradley of Waterbury last Thurs- day night. A large number of witnesses were examined, including H. A. Humbright, Chester L21 Mar, Capt. J. L. Cole-i grove, Joseph Wulsh, Detective George W. Gladstone, Martin Maney, Anton Pavovick, Constable Samuel C. Ireland and Medical Examiner W. C. Burke. All of the witnesses reiterated their former stories as published in the GAZETTE the day following the finding of Bradley’s body. V Medical Examiner Burke testified to the autopsy, wherein was found that Bradley had been killed with soh1e in- strument in the hands of parties un- known and not by a train. The boy Pavov‘ck told of meeting Nelson and the lutter’s giving him the pocket book which has since been iden- tified as belonging to thedead man. He also testifie d to seeing the colored man West at the same time standing near Barthol’s factory. The most important testimony given was that of Constable Ireland; who de- scribed the spot under the bridge where . Bradley’s body was found. He also told of finding splashes of blood 0n. the posts of the bridge some three feet from the ground. He minutely described the bridge and stated that the position of the body was such that he could not have been struck by a train and thrown off the bridge. After hearing all the testimony Judge Frost bound the prisoners over to the Superior court under $3,000 bonds each and they were taken to Bridgeport jail by Chief Vollmer this afternoon. . While the state’s case is not very strong it is hoped that by the time the men are tried new evidence will be found sufficient to convict them. Both West and Nelson have told conflicting stories before and since their arrest and there is no doubt in the mind of the public but what they had a‘hand in the killing of Bradley. Building Boom. Mr. Buckingham Lockwood has had surveyors at work on his property near Everslcy avenue and the Hunter resi. dance, on East avenue, and the ”same has been cut up into building plots or rather into sites for five new and sightly residences which are to be built by Mr. Lockwood. The plot is to be terraced and graded and the front curbed and guttered. The hill is to be cut down and the sell used in filling in. The work on the improvements will be com- menced at once.
