FOUR HORSES PERrsHsD
At the Fire in Patrick Murphy,s Sta ble Saturday Night-The Loss bout Five Thousand Five Hundred DoI- lar hx

At the Fire in Patrick Murphy's Sta-
 ble Saturday Night-The Loss bout
 Five Thousand Five Hundred Dol
 lars, Covered by Insurance.
 Saturday nights fire completely gutted the stable of Patrick Murphy, the livery msn, near the corner of Chapel and Ham, ilton streete, and four valuable horses were burned to death.
 About g o'clock an alarm was rung In from box 34. The fire department re- sponded and was soon at work. It was a hard fire to battle with and for half an hour the flames seemed to be undlmin- ished. Then they suddenly fell and the fire was practically under control.
 When the building took fire there were within twenty horses and large quantity of grain. The hay loft was we'll stocked, as seven tons of loose hay had recently been put in. Several of the horses were found roaming about the streets.
 The four horses burned to death were Frederick W. Brocksieper's gslding Char lie, valued ct $500, Matthew Flannagan's horse, valued at $200, Frank H. Murphy's mare Jenny, valued at $400, and N. E. T. Fitch's trotting horse, valued at $400 It Is a singular fact that the most valuable animals in the establishment perished in the flames. They were stabbed at the south end of the barn almost directly under the spot where the fire started. They were all united and forced out to the exit, but they blindly rushed back and could not be driven back again before the flames reached them owing to lack of time. Several other horses tried to on hack into their sfalla hut yrara prevented by the timely assistance of the crowd. ..
 About $400 worth of atrsv, hay and grain were destroyed, together with car riages valued at $300. The horses which were burned were worth $1, BOO The barn was valued at $4, GOO. The loss is partially covered by insurance.
 The origin of the fire is shrouded In mystery.

MT. Louis L.. Norton Undoubtedly
 Drowned In the Harbor While
 SW1mm1Rg-A Row Boat Picked Up
 with His Clothes in 1t, but No Valu-
 ables-The Accident Occurred Friday
 Evening-A Thorough Search Fails
 to Disclose Any Clue to the Body.
 The body of Louis L. Norton, the only son of A. o. Norton, who was undoubtedly drowned somewhere in the harbor Friday night or very early Saturday morning, had not up to late hour last evening keen re. covered.
 Shortly after noon Friday Louis left his home apparently in happy frame of mind. He told his mother that he iu- tended to go rowing down in the harbor. His mother advised him not to go as it was very hot. His father also spoke against his going, but he told them that there was rothing to fear as he would take good care of himself. He then went to his office in the Hoadley building where he wrote several letters.
 About o'clock he vent into the store of J. Johnson & Son by whom he was formerly employed, after which he went to the boat house of Merrill White at Gill bert wharf where he hired 8 rowboat. He was given large round bottomed boat in which he rowed down the harbor. That was the last seen of him by any one so far as is at present known.
 Saturday morning the tug Rambler of the New England Transportation company found the boat floating between the two breakwaters. Norton's clothes were in the boat and >the osrs were in position. Captain Hewitt, who commanded the Ram bier, took the boat in tow. He examined the clothes and found several letters ad- dressed to L. L. Norton.
 When the Rambler arrived at the dock word was sent to A. O. Norton, the father of the young man, who immediately hasten ed to the dock and recognized his sons clothes when they were shown him.
 Parties were sent along both shores and the people living along the shore were told of the accident, but no one could throw any further light upon the mystery.
 It is generally thought that the young man came to his death by drowning, but there are circumstances connected with the case which are hard to reconcile with the theory of accidental drowning.
 Young Norton always wore a diamond pin and carried 8 gold watch and valuable cigar holder, and usually had considerable money with him. When Captain Hewett took the clothes from the boat the watch, pin, money and cigar holder were missing.
 It is generally believed that the young man plunged into the water while in 8 heated condition from rowing and was stricken with cramps.
 The valuables may have been taken by some one who ran across the drifting boat early in the morning, and who, after steal ing from the clothing thoss valuables which could be disposed of most easily, sl- lowed the boat to go again.
 Norton may have met with foul play, with robbery as Q motive. Suicide has been intimated at, but no motive for such an act can be found.
 Louis L. Norton, the missing young man, was twenty three years old, and until recently was engaged in the clothing buai-

Court Notes.

The claim of Mrs. Caroline l.. Bradley against the estate of Mary A. Tuttls of East Haven for $3.0O0, which has been pending in the superior court, has been settled. The benefeisries under the will having assigned portion of their inherit ance sufficient to give Mrs. Bradley $1 300, on condition that the claim be withdrawn, which was done.
 In the interests of E. F. Bishop, the George street blacksmith, the stable on George street conducted by s. A. Bailey, who has been missing for several days, was on Saturday attached by Constable Enscoe.
 Anthony Carroll has brought suit against Platt & Thompson as bondsmen for Constable Joseph R. Warren for $1,500, alleging that the latter made defective service of papers of attachment. The case is returnable at the September term of the superior court. Charles s. Hsmil- ton Is Carroll's attorney. Several months ago Carroll obtained judgment for $500 against Thomas Brady, manager of 8 pool room on Grown street. Constable War ren was given papers to attach Brady's property to satisfy the judgment. He at sached 8 blackboard, some fixtures, writ ing materials and other things that he found in the pool room, which he auc- tioned and realized enough from the sale to pay his own fees. There was, however, nothing for Carroll. The latter alleges that Brady had money which the constable could and should have attached and that in falling to do so he made defective ser vice of the papers entrusted to him; and also that in aeizing few valueless things he gave Brady warning which enabled him to place his property beyond reach of at tachment.
 Wallace H. Root, who until recently was the proprietor of a Chapel street livery stable, was Saturday made the defendant in suit for absolute divorce, brought by his wife, Annie Root. through her attorney, Charles s. Hamilton. In the writ 1t is alleged that the defendant has on divers times committed adultery. The correspondent named in the paper is 8 woman living on Warren street who is said to have often been in defendants company. The case is returnable to the superior court the frat Monday in Sep. tember.
