The sneak thieves with which our city has been infested for some time past, entered the first house on Orchard street from ‘West avenue, of Miss Baird’s Young Lfidies’ Seminary, Monday even- ing while the family was at supper. This house is used as a dormitory and the ‘ thief or thieves climbed up on the rear balcony and made an entrance into the second story, which they pretty thor- oughly ransacked, six sleeping rooms having been pillaged of money, Jewelry and watches. There were more than a thousand dollars worth of fur garments, besides other valuable clothing in these rooms, yet not a single piece was taken, show- ing that the object of;the thieves was to take nothing bulky. One of the young ladies, Just prior to going to the dinner table, ran up stairs to her room to get some article she required and this 'act no doubt, frightened the robbers away. In ad probability, the thieves were not in the house over fifteen to twenty _ minutes and fled out the window and down from the rear balcony again. Among the things stolen, \iere five gold watches and chains, about a dozen jeweled finger rings and breast pins. *‘A very valuable slick pin, studded with precious stones, belonging to Miss Kellogg, and a goldwatch and gold chain belonging to Miss Baird’s sister. A half dozen pocketbooks con- taining $25 in all, were also taken. In one Of the books the owner had a new and crisp 562 note, fresh from~ the bank. This note it is hoped, may prove a,poesible clue to the thief, as a party purchaseda ticket for New York last night and paid over just such a two dollar bill. A singular circumstance followed close upon the robbery, which gave our vigilant police their fiast inkling of the affair and filled them with resolute de- termination to catch the thieves and win glory and a reward, even if they perished in the heroic efl'ort. Messrs. C. Ford Seeley and Robert Cotter, about 9 O’clock, were returning home, via. the turnpike, and when nearly abreast the residence of George I. Bux- ton, their attention was attracted by some white object beside the roadway. This they found to be a ladies’ alligator grip, open, and in Whluh were three empty pocketbooks, two pairs of new kid gloves, two empty paper jewel boxes and one of wood, which although it had been broken open, contained two elegant gold stick pins, three valuable rings, a string of pearl beads two pho- tographs, 1- private letter, a spool of thread,ha11 ,.1ns,abottle of Hale’s “corn popper,” 11ml best of all, a very valu- able dagge; stick pin set with rare gems and which the young lady owner had brought from Europe with her the past summer. These were a portion of the more bulky articles stolen, and the Jewelry no doubt was accidently over- looked in the thieves’ hasty flight up the hill past the Armory. Miss Baird keeps a safe into which her students are desired to place their val- uables at night, but the unfortunate young ladies had no thought ‘Of the possibility of such a robbery before it was fai1lv dark. Chief Bradley for some inscrutable and indefenciblc reason, was not in- formed of the robbery by Captain Dana until this morning. He, upon investi- gating the case, started for New York, to Seta police watch upon the pawn- shops. This should have been done last night, to have proved effectual. As the articles stolen, were gifts and keepsakes the young ladies feel the loss greatly beyond their money value, which in the total. is quite large. AGAIN AT WORK. The gay and festive burglar is still at work notwithstanding the efforts Of the police to arrest them. Thursday morning at 1 O’clock Thos. Leatherland, a lock fitter employed by the Norwalk Lock company, was awak- ened from his slumbers by a noise at the front door of his residence No. 2 Riverside avenue. Leatherland hastily jumped from his bed and opening his window enquired 'who Was there and what was wanted. In answer to his response a man jump- from his front porch and ran out of the gate. In the darkness Leatherland could not identify his visitor and as he had disap- peared around the corner of the street he made no attempt to follow him. He did, however, go down and look at the key in his front door and there found the imprint of a pair of forceps where the burglar had attempted to turn the key in the lock. At an early hour the same morning, a similar attempt was made to get into the house owned by Mrs. Wallace Dana, on N ewtown avenue, and occupied by W. F. Bryant, clerk at the Holmes, Keeler & Selleck Company store. About 3 o’clock, his daughter heard a noise as if some one was trying to gain aii entrance to the house through the the family, but an investigation proved fruitless, the burglars evidently having become frightened by hearing the in- mates stirring about, and made good their escape. It was full ad that the putty in the sash of the bay w1udow had been cut out near the window-catch, the object be- ing no doubt to push the catch back, and thus entrance to the room would have been an easy matter. Evidence of a call from burglars was found at the home of Thomas Hy do on Cross street, this morning. Nothing, huWeVNl'. WMS stolen. . ‘ \ in front of the barn. She alarmed members of . MORE WORK FOR THE FIREMEN. l, The fire-bug got in some more of his work Monday morning. This time he selected a barn at the rear of the Street place on North avenue, near the corner of Main street. The fire was first discovered by Mrs, Phoebe A. Hyatt, who lives near by in the Meeker house, about 5:30 o’clock. She immediately aroused her son-in-law George S. Grumman,,who sans. every: thing but his trousers, rushed out of the house and pulled Box 56, (one Of the Stevens’ pattern) which acted very erratically in sounding the alarm, it striking 3-2-6, 3-2-6, and then two rounds of 56. In the meantime Harry Simpson who lives near by, saw the blaze, and hastened to the barn where he met Con- ductor Joseph Bucknam of the Street Railway company, and Harry Gage. They did what they could to save property in the barn but were unable to rescue anything but a 'delivery wagon, on account of the intense heat from the flames which enveloped the entire barn. Phoenix Engine company was the first to reach the fire and made a con- nection with the hydrant at Cross street, and. had the flames well under subjec- tion when the supply wagon, Hope Hose company and Pioneer Hook and Ladder company arrived with their apparatus. Hope Hose made connection with the hydrant at the corner of School street and soon had a powerful stream delug- ing the buildings that were in close proximity to the flames. Hose was taken from the supply wagon and a connection made with the hydrant on Camp street and the three streams were brought to bear on the flames and they were quickly drowned out and the fire kept from doing any damage other than in the barn where it originated. The barn was— occupied by Michael Fahan, and besides a horse valued at $300, contained about a ton of hay, some oats, a delivery wagon, harness, etc., all of which with the exception of the wagon were consumed. Mr. Fahan had an insurance of $200 on the horse. and the same amount on his wagon, harnesses, etc., through the agency of O. E. Wilson. The barn belonged to the Street es- tate and was insured for $200 in the Norwalk and Westchester Fire Insur- ance companies. . The fire is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. Mr. Samuel Malkin who was passing by as early as 5 o’clock, is reported as having smelled smoke, and Milkman W. H. Sherwood is said to have delivered milk at a house close by at thesame hour but did not see the least sign of a fire. John Mc- Cullough who came by the place be- tween5and6 O’clock is positive that he saw a lantern standing on the ground Mr. Fahan told a GAZETTE represen- ative this morning that he had 'no regular hour for feeding his horse it sometimes being as late as 9 o’clock be- fore the animal was fed. He said that he was at the barn at about 5:30 last night and gave the horse his supper and that at that time everything was all right. The first he knew Of the fire was when told of it at his store and when he learned Of the death of the horse which be highly valued. Both he and Mrs. Fahan were moved to tears over their loss. FIRE AT EAST NOR\VALK. Shortly after six O’clock Saturday evening, the double house owned by Miner C. Randall, on Cottage avenue, and occupied by Edwin]. E. Mead and Norman llatchman, was discovered to be on fire in the attic near the chimney. An alarm was quickly sounded, and the inmates who were at supper, rushed up stairs and with the assistance of neigh- bors succeeded in rescuing their furni- ture, although a piano belonging to Mr. Mead was badly damaged. In the meantime, the firemen of May- flower company were on hand and had' a stream of water playing on the flames which were soon subdued, but not be- fore the house and contents had been flooded with water. The roof of the house was burned off, causing a loss of $500, on which there is an insurance with O. E. Wilson, of $2,000. Mr. Hatchman was also in- sured, but Mr. Mead’s policy had run out and his loss is a total one. In the excitement of the fire some one stole Mrs. Mead’s silver spoons. AN OLD HOUSE BURNED. An Old house on the late Charles Smith estate, and belonging to his daughter Mrs. Sarah Staples, located V 011 Strawberry hill, was burned to the ground about 5:30 Tuesday morning. The house was vacated yesterday by Mr. Charles Low and wife, they having removed to Smith street. It is thought to have been the work Of incendiaries. Mr. Low lost ten bushels of potatoes. Consolidated’s Officers. The directors of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad held their monthly meeting in the office in Grand Central depot. New York, Saturday. A It was also their annual meeting for the election Of the principal office: of the company and there was a large atten- dance. ' These officers were elected for the en- suing year: President, Charles PCiark; vice president. John M. Hall;treasurer, William L. “Squire, and secretary, W. D. Bishop, Jr. re-elected unanimously. tied up. OF COURSE lT WASN’T LOADED. About noon Wednesday, Edgar Dem- mon took a 22-cal'1‘ore revolver to the machine repairing shop of William Smith on Knight street, to have the cartridges or shells of cartridges extract ed. He told Mr. Smith that all of the cartridges had been exploded. Smith picked up the revolver, and commenced to extract the cartridges. As he was engaged in the act. young Demmon stood near, and James Roach who happened to be in the shop stepped up near Smith and Demmon. Three of the caps were successfully removed, and Smith was engaged in drilling out the fourth one when there was anexplosion, and Roach cried out “I am shot,” and his left hand and arm dropped helpless to in, side. Smith dropped the revolver on the floor, and caught hold of Reach who became faint and threatened to topple over. Demmon became the color of chalk and trembled like an aspen. Roach revived after a few minutes, and in company with Smith went to the of- fice of Dr. A. H. Baldwin. EBAn examination showed that the bul- let had entered the wrist and on its way severed several arteries. These .were A probe was introduced into the wound but the bullet was not loca- ted, and it is believed by the physician that it is embedded in the wrist near the cubital or ulnar nerve. A further search will be made for the bullet. Mr. Demmod‘s escape was a narrow one as he stood in a direct line of the bullet as it was discharged into Roach’s arm, and but for hitting where it did would have struck Demmon in the ab- domen, and probably caused his death. Mr. Roach when seen by a GAZETTE representative said “I never was so scared in my life, and I haven’t got over it yet.” Mr Smith said, “It was a lucky escape for the owner Of the pistol. And to think that he should tell me that it wasn’t loaded.” Mr. Demmon was too much frightened to say anything. Mr. Smith has the revolver, Roach the bullet, and Demmon has for the present to content himself with the fright. New Appontment. Representative C. A.
