A Riot In Connecticut.I

New HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 5.-The
labor difficulties between tho employers
and striking hatters at South Norwalk
eliminated Tonight in q public demon
stration in that town. Rumors of tho
importation of non-union men brought
out the strikers In force, and while no
open acts of violence were committed
the threats Of the mob 30 alarmed tho
manufacturers that they telegraphed to
Gov. Waller as follows:
'"Tho manufacturers of South Norwalk
would most respectfully call upon you
for protection, the city being in the hands
Of q mob. Our lives and property are in
danger. The mayor and sheriff are un-
able to give us tho requisite assistance"
Special dispatches to the Morning Neps
state that the city is at the control of the
mob, and that although no open acts Of
violence have yet been perpetratod, the
public fear is very evident. Manufac-
turers and officers are in close communi-
cation. while delegations patrol the
streets, and largo mob surrounds tho
depot watching incoming trains.

Bail Taken for the AssaiIant-IThe
Wife Denies Her Guilt aud IGoes
10 the Hospital.
Police Officer Norcum, or Norton, who
shot his wifo Thursday night, arose early
yesterday, and about 10 o'clock he went
to the police court with Sergeant hmiss.
Sergeant Hollinberger appeared shortly
after and sworo out a warrant ch arging
Norcum with assault and battery with
intent to kill. Tho case was called to
tho attention of tho court by the district
attorney, who said ho had not OK amined
1t, but he concurred with the defendants
attorney, Mr.. Campbell Carrngton, in
asking that bail bo fixed. Jud ge SMELL
liked the bail at 1000, which the officer
furnished and was released.
The injuries of Mrs. Norcum were found
to be more serious that at first thought,
and she was sent yesterday to the Gar
field hospital. There were four bullet
holes in her right ankle, two of which
passed through and tho other two were
imbedded. In statement made yester-
day Mrs. Norcum said that Bho went
down Thursday night TO the house Of q
lady friend of hers on Il street, and
with her went to store on that street to
mako q few purchases. While on +
street she mot her husband, and he
asked her whore sho had boon, and she
told him that she had been to her cousins
house.. He seemed to doubt her, as he
always did, and wanted her to 90 back
with him to verify her statement. She
went with him, and afterward sho ac-
companied him home. When they en-
tered the house he commenced quarreling
with her, and became so violent that
he knocked her down, knocking three of
her teeth out, and while she was down
drew his revolver an 4 emptied it, shoot
ing her in tho ankle several times. He
then caught up another revolver lying
on the mantlepiece and emptied that
also. They had walked homo together,
not many unpleasant words having passed
between them. There was no man in
the house at all, and only tho colored
woman servant. "The story he tells
about man in the house is all untrue"
she said, and added that Mr.. Norcum
was jealous, and always had boon. with
out cause, and had for many years treated
her badly.

A DAsrARDLY ATTEMPT.
Three Enors TO IDJurc tho Heat
ing Apparatus OF the New Opera
TIouse. '..

ing Apparatus OF the New Opera
House. .i
Yesterday morning, between tho hours
of aud o'clock. the third of series of
dastardly attempts to iujuro tho heating
apparatus attached to the new opera house
and the armory of tho Washington Light
Infantry corps was made. The porpe-
traitor of these outrages is evidently VOL
posted with regard to steam m-heating up
paratus, and has in each instance pro
ceoded systematically in his attempt to
flict the greatest possible damage. After
eifeCting an entrance into the boiler and
ment OH the l. street side of the building,
his method was to turn off completely the
feedwater supply valve, open the blow
Off cock, and allow all the water
to run out of the boilers,
then rake down the fros and
open the dampers, and thus attompt TO
burn and destroy tho flues and boiler
plates. To mako his dovilish work more
sure, no turned of the cocks connecting
the glass wator gauges with tho boilers,
leaving the glass tubes filled with water
above tho safety mark, so that whom tho
engineer fired up in the morning, II he
should fail to discover that the boilers
had been tampered with, the result would
have been their destruction. Fortunately
the attention of the engineer was at
tracted in each instance by the water
standing on the floor Of tho boiler-room,
and no damage was dono. Manager AL
baugh, however, is anxious TO discover
who it is that is striving to injure the
new opera house, and in another column
ho offers a reward of 500 for the arrest,
with proof to convict, of the person or
persons who engaged in this cowardly
business.
