WOODBURY. HOVE BURNED
OIL STOVE EXPLODED
Postmaster Rounds Up the
Street Laborers Into
Fire Brigade.

Woodbury. July S1.-The home of
Mrs. Mary Stone was practically de-
stroyed by fire this afternoon, the
flames causing a loss Of about s4,5OO.
The fire was started as result of an
oilstove explosion, Mrs. Stone prepar-
ing dinner at the time. Postmaster
Harry Brown, by his quick act in
rounding up a large squad of street
laborers, probably saved the house and
barn of Mrs, R. H. Baldwin next door.
Mr.. Brown, who is a former represen-
tative in the legislature, hustled down
the street to the place where the men
were working and asked them to help
fight the fire. The brought along a
stick of dynamite with them and blew
off a part of the burning building, pre-
venting the spread of the flames to ad-
jacent houses.

LIKE DREYFUS CASE.
Remarkable Scene Enacted
at New York Police
Headquarters.
PATROLMAN DEGRADED
Found Guilty Of Cowardice
in Running Away from
Murderer.
PATROLMAN DEGRADED

New York, July S1.--A remarkable
scene closely paralleling that n1enora-
ble one in Paris when Captain Alfred
Dreyfus was publicly degraded before
the French army, was enacted in the
trial room at police headquarters to-
day For the first time in more than
thirty years patrollnan had been adj
Judged guilty Of cowardice. He 4s ste
phen S. Walsh, who, ACCORDING to the
charge made against him last week,
fled from an armed man who had shot
and killed woman. The keen interest
with which the unusual case was fol-
lowed rose to a point of dramatic in
tensity when Police Commissioner
Bingham, who had presided personally
al the trial, announced in voice
choked with emotion that the charge
against the man had been proven Then
the commissioner turned to Inspector
Richard Walsh, in whose district Ste
phen s. Walsh was a patrolman, but
who is no relative Of the dismissed
man, and directed the inspector to
strip Walsh of his shield and uniform
buttons so that he might not even
leave the trial room with the emblems
of his former position as a policeman
in good standing on his person.
Commissioner Bingham then said:
II have word to say to you all,
but can scarcely say It, NV cheeks
have burned with shame here even to
think of a charge of cowardlce being
preferred against man in this depart
ment. 1t has been our pride to saw
that whatever other faults there NAV
have been, there was no cowardice in
this department. I gave the accused
in this case every chance to defend
himself but it has been clearly proven
that he failed just at the moment
when he should not have failed. This
thing must never Mapped again while
You and I are together You must
forget this, but you must remember
the proud record Of thirty years before
when not one man in many thousands
failed to do his duty in the face of any
danger"
Stephen Walsh was one Of the two
men against whom charge of cow
ardice was made last week when
Frank Warner was permitted to escape
after killing Esther Norling in Forty
second street.

MORE MONEY FOR
GREENE ST. SITE
Board of Education Author
lied to Pay $24, $50 for
Three Pieces of
Land.
CONDEMNATION
NOW AVOIDED
Price Still Above Assess
ment but Owners Slice
Off a Total Of
$3.50.

DR.. Spang from the board of educa-
tion appeared before the board Of fin
ance last evening, to request that the
board be given authority to pay $2,25O
more that the $4,000 already author
led for the proposed Greene street
school site He announced that the
new school committee after session Of
an hour and a half with the three pro-
perty owners had succeeded in bring
ing their combined selling price down
from $27,5OO to $24,259, and they were
convinced this was the lowest price a
purchase could be made at. Failing
this the lengthy method Of condem-
nation must be adopted.
The board of finance voted to author
ize the board of education to pay $24,-
$50 for the site and the purchase is
presumably assured.
DIR. Spang presented figures to the
board Of finance showing the prices de-
manded by each owner to be as fol-
lows: Ruff, $4,000, drop of $4,000; Har-
ris, $1,000 and Casey, $3.50. The prop
erty Is assessed at $2O,470, Three in
dependent appraisals were made with
these figures, s1S,1oO, $2175o and $21,-
600.
Mr.. Herr querried as to how long it
would take to get the land by condem-
nation to which Mayor Studley smil-
ingly answered it would be pretty sure
to be accomplished inside Of two years.
The matter was accordingly settled
by granting the money for the pur-
chase

NEW ATTACHMENT
AGAINST WIRE GO.
New York Man Seeks to
Recover $40, 600 Advanced
on Promissory
Note.
INJUNCTION ISSUED
BY JUDGE CURTIS
Special Fund as Collateral
in Union Trust Company
Cannot be Trans
ferred.

Following the appointment Of trus-
tees for the National Wire company Of
this city after bankruptcy proceedings
last Monday, an attachment in the sum
Of $2O,06T.S5 was served yesterday ar
ternoon by Deputy Sheriff Henry p.
Spiegel on the company and receivers
in favor Of Everett B. webster Of New
York city The writ In the case sets
forth that in May, 1906 while the COM
pany was being operated under H. Stu
art Hotchkiss and ex-Mayor Frederick
brought against the company by q con-
cern which had furnished 1t with ma
terials. Webster, according to the al
legations set forth, settled with the
creditor, bringing the suit and by ad-
vancing $20,067,S5 for the company the
threatened suit was withdrawn.
Webster claims that the company Is
sued to him a promissbry note payable
on demand for the sum advanced BY
him with interest at 8 per cent. Fur
thermore, it is set forth that 1t was ex-
pressly agreed that certain accounts,
collectable by the company and set
forth in papers accompanying the writ
were to be set aside in Webster's In
terest as collateral to the promissory
note.
Plaintiff asserts that he believes that
said accounts have been collected or
most Of them and that they have been
kept separate from the funds Of the
company and deposited as a separate
fund with the Union Trust company
Receivers were appointed for the COM
pany and he sets forth that upon de-
mand they declined or neglected to
pay the note. He now believes states
the writ, that the receivers are about
to turn over and pay the amount held
for him in a separate fund to the
trustees in bankruptcy appointed Mon
day, thereby causing q co-nringling Of
this special fund and the assets and
property Of said the National Wire
corporation This co-ningling, he
sets forth, will cause great injury to
his claims and interest.
The writ sets forth that the conn
plainant claims $4,000 damages and
secondly, that the defendants be res
trained from making payment or
turning over the fund in part or whole
to any third party during the pendency
of the action.
Accompanying the attachment IS
temporary injunction issued yesterday
by Judge Howard B. Curtis Of the SUI
perior court in Bridgeport, restraining
the receiver from turning over the
fund to any other parties until further
action by the court. The attachment
writ is dated at Stamford, July 81 and
bears the names of Frederick w. Hux-
ford as commissioner Of the superior
court for Fairfield county and Attor-
ney Galen A. Garter of Stamford Is
recognized to prosecute. The Injunction
restrains the receivers under penalty
Of $4,000.
The action is returnable to the SUI
perior court on the first Tuesday In
September. Deputy Sheriff Spiegel
Yesterday afternoon served papers on
ex- Mayor Farnsworth representing the
company and upon the Union Trust
company

FIREMEN'S RAISE
FROM OCTOBER 1
Finance Board Passes Vote
Enabling Added Pay to
Take Effect
Then.
SOME MEMBERS ARE
FIRM FOR JANUARY
Schedule Presented by Fire
Commissioners is Pro-
vided For by
Action.

BY vote of the board of finance at
the session held last evening three
members dissenting on account of the
date set, it was decided that the in
creased salary schedule presented for
consideration by the fire commissioners
may go into effect on October / Of this
year The schedule came up for con-
sideration in consequence of the visit
to the board of a committee from the
fire commissioners consisting Of Pres
ident John Pearce and Chief Fancher
The committee appeared to urge the
board of finance to take some definite
action on the schedule which was pre-
sented by the commissioners in April
Mr.. Pearce said that the matter
ought to be settled as soon as possible
for the good Of all parties concerned.
He said that he believed that if the
schedule had been acted upon earlier
the present dissatisfaction that has
arisen among the men would have been
avoided. The dissatisfaction, he said,
was due to the fact that no action had
been taken. The real trouble he defln-
ed as arising from the fact that the
firemen after acting quietly through
the commissioners had not been re-
garded while the teachers who made
the matter a public affair had received
an Increase at once. In closing Mr..
Pearce said: "As a board we respect
fully ask you to give the matter earn
est and immediate attention"
A lengthy discussion preceded the ac-
tion on the measure. When it was pro-
posed Mr.. Lewis made clear his posi-
tion as favoring the increase to date
from October |. A debate ensued be-
tween him and Controller Rowe as to
whether the surplus arising from ar
excess Of actual tax receipts over the
estimated income could rightfully be
expended or not, the controller contend
I ing that 1t could and Mr.. Lewis that
the charter opposed it.
Mr.. Rowe stated that there was suf-
fcient money in the interest account tc
take care of the fire increase for the
rest of the year If October l was de-
