The Burglary at the Alsop Residence i'm MiddletOyyn

The Burglary at the Alsop Residence in
 Middleto1yn.
 Ex-Chief Fielding and a detective from New York gre working up the burgle-y at Mrs. J. w. Alsop's residence Tuesday night. The affair was skillfully managed, whether done by professionals or some person who was well acquainted with the premises Many persons incline to the idea that the burglars belong.there. The amount of Mrs. Alsop's loss may be roughly stated at $175. There were about seven dozen solid silver forks stolen, at $2. % each, moderate esti- mate would make $168. Some minor articles would make up the bal ance. Some amusing things were connected with the burglary. After ransecking the drawers and getting everything of value in them, the rogues went into the cellar in search of further plumber. Seeing cellaret standing there, it is thought that they sup posed that 1t might contain more of the household silver, so they tugged away at the heavy chest, got it into the library, broke it open, and found in it some choice old liquors, put away for medicinal purposes. Most bur glars would have sampled it. Not they. It was left untouched, not even cork was drawn, which was one thing to their credit The pantry was visited and a leg of lamb, cooked for breakfast, some other meats and everything eatable in it were ta- ken out on to the greensward and eaten, despite supposed ferociouss big dog, kept on the premises and allowed to roam at will on the extensive grounds at night. He probably was away just about this time, ,mak- ing visit to some of his canine friends None of the people in the house were in the least disturbed by the visitation, the gentle manly robbers not even making any attempt to go upstairs. Up to yesterday morning no clue to the burglars had been obtained by anyone.

His stepdaughter, May Kuhn, bright little child not yet eight years old, attended the Brown school when she was not kept at home to mind the baby. Last Tuesday the little one was kept at home until she was too late for school, and played truant. She was afraid to go home because Wirtz had threat ened to whip her for not minding the baby She wandered around the streets all day and towards night the father found her asleep in wagon at the rear of their house. He took her up stairs to the bedroom and whipped her with an inch wide strap until she became unconscious. Then he left her. In little while he came back and applied the strap again. A neighbor said that he thrashed her for half an hour. When he came down stairs he told his wife that he had whipped May till the blood came. Knowing his violent temper, she said nothing, but tended to the child.
 On Wednesday 8 neighbor saw the little one weeping on the street in pain, and ex- amlned her. 'I have been most everywhere In my day." she said, land seen good many ugly things, but never saw such sight as that child's body, from her shoulders to her knees. The only thing can compare it to is chicken scalded and stripped" Wirtz hearing he was so be arrested left town and is hiding somewhere.

Hearing Before the Railroad Commis-
 sIoners i'm Bridgeport Yesterday.
 The railroad commissioners met in the Mayors office, Bridgeport, at ten o'clock yes- terday morning. Hon. Levi Warner, of Norwalk, appeared as counsel for the New York and Connecticut Air line, or sOlmstead Parallel, g and MT Simeon D. Baldwin, of New Haven, represented the Hartford and Har- lem road Mir. Dooittls appeared as coun- sel for MT. George T. Grinnefl, of New York city MT. Grinnell owns land in the town of Milford which would, he thinks, be greatly depreciated in value if the proposed line is carried out. He therefore remonstrated and asked for hearing, which was granted, and fixed for July 10, at his place in Milford.
 Mr. Bryson, the chief engineer of the Hartford and Harlem road, was called, and said the map used was made under his di- rection, and in his estimation was correct.
 Mt George F. Connors, of Bridgeport, ob- jected to the line, as it passed through bis house: ---'-
 Hon. Levi Warner questioned Mr. Bryson as to the relations of the layout under con sideration, and the proposed line of the road Mir. Warner represented, in their passage through Bridgeport.
 Announcement was made that those parties in interest from Milford might be heard, but hs no one appeared, that section of the line crossing Stratford was next considered. Selectman Curtis, of that place, testified that at station 829, where the proposed line crosses Main street, there was a beautiful green, which would be utterly ruined if the road were allowed to run as the map indicat- ed. Others were heard to the same effect. All other crossings in. that town were per- fectly satisfactory, they said. Mir. Bryson stated that the present route was taken to reduce the curvature of that place and short en a cut.
 MT. Baldwin then stated that two Bridge port parties wished to be heard, and MT. H. R. Parrott spoke in relation to the line near his varnish works up town. He objected to the present route, as if taken it would de- stroy the whole of North Washington avenue in that vicinity and completely ruin his works.
 When that section running through Fair field was reached, MT. John H. Perry, of Southport, appeared in behalf of several property owners in Fairfield. He stated his objections to the line at some places in that town.

Cyclone of aospitaIitH.

The correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier in his last letter from New York in relation to the northern trip of the Wash ington Light Infantry expresses himself as follows: ''From the time they landed in New York on the morning of the 18th until they stood on the deck of the City of Atlanta this afternoon they had lived in sea of wine and liquors, in the midst of cyclone of hos pitality. Champagne to the right of them, champagne to the left of them, champagne in front of them. and on every side hospita- ble hands and hearts boiling with the fervor of friendship and brotherhood, eager to min ister to them, anxious to pledge eternal friendship in the foaming liquor. And yet not single man was overcome by wine at any time during the trip. It is a record of which any set of men may well be proud. And if the Connecticut detachment of the Light Infantry hereafter assume the mien and bearing of veteran campaigners, they are doing only what they have 8 right to do, wearing only the laurels which they have faithfully. honestly and gloriously won. And so say all of us.'"
