ESTABLISHED 187 SCOURGE MAKES APPEARANCE ON MADISON STREET Isolation ~ Hospital With Second Case of Paralysis - Reported in City MYSTERIOUS ORIGIN PUZZLES DR. REEKS Boy Not in Contact With Persons From Infected Areas—New York Situation Unchanged—Child of Cromwell Physician Victim of Mal- ady. The first case of infantile paralysis to be reported in this city in over four weeks and the second since the | scourge became epidemic in the coun- try, was reported to the health de- partment this morning. The victim iz Wilbur Hale, thirteen year old son of August Hale of 9 Madison street. According to Health Superintendent | T. E. Reeks the case has absolutely no connection with the New York epidemic and like the first case which was reported from Rocky Hill avenue rppears to be sporadic. The victim was removed this morning to the Hartford isolation haspital and the house on Madison street was thor- oughly fumigated by the health de- partment. Mr. and Mrs. Hale have one other child, a daughter, twenty years of age, While the city has thus far escaped almost miraculously from the disease [ wwhich has swept New York city and has been prevalent In many other towns and cities of the state, Health Superintendent Reeks again urges the extreme necessity of caution on | the part of local people who are| planning vacations to avold infected | centers. According to the health au- thorities the disease has still a pe- riod of four to five weeks to run and to avold the disease it will be neces- sary for all to use caution. Returning vacationists will be watched closely 'y the health department, especially those coming from Infected areas. Sunday schools reopening next monthl are to bar all pupils coming from such territorv and those planning to leave the city for vacations are asked to keep clear of towns and shore re- sorts where cases of the disease have Teen reported.

New Haven, Aug. 19.—To obtain a serum for use in combating infan- tile paralysis, Dr. Cox of the New Ha- ven hospltal, who has had charge of the cases sent there, today sent ouf his assistants to the homes of tlents who have recovered from the disease to ask them to give the hos- pital a small portion of their blood. Pathologically it has been proved that the blood of a person who has had the disease has anti-bodies in it which constitute an anti-toxin. Willimantio Infant Dies.

March 1843, at Dudley, Worcestershire, 1gland, the son of Geor Hadley and grandson of Samuel Hadley, both natives of the same town. His grand- father, Samuel Hadley was an inn- | keeper and proprietor of the hostelry | known as the “Shakespeare,” famous | for its fine old [English ale, brewed under the personal supervision of the innkeeper. Father Came to U. €. in "18. George Hadley, father of Reuben Hadley, was an iron worker and learned the trade at the Burntree shop at Dudley and emigrated 10 American in 1848, For a time he | obtained temporary employment in | New York but the following vyear, 1849, moved to Winsted, this state, and worked for the B. & E. Woodhall company, manufacturers of fire irons and on became a stockholder ‘n the Winsted Shovel and Tong com- pany, becoming superintendent of that company. In the spring of 1858 he removed to New Britain where he became con- nected with the Russell & Erwin com- pany which had purchased the Win- sted concern. His son Reuben Hadley came to this city with his parents in 1858 at the age of fifteen and went to father had engaged in a ccntract to manufacture fire irons.

Y., where he se- cured a contract polishing army car- bines. In this venture he was very successful, the profits secured from the contract furnishing the nucleus of the capital which gave him kis financial success in life. His contract completed he returned to Russell & Erwin's and not long after formed a partnership with Am- brose Beatty, afterwards mayor of New Britain, the object of the joint enterprise being a grocery business under the firm name of Beatty & Had- ley. From this business sprang the co-operative business afterwards known as the Sovereigns Trading company. The firm of Beatty & Hadley ceased to exist in 1876 and Mr. Hadley sub- sequently disposed of his interest to his partner. Three montke later he again entered the grocery business on Main street in the building now occu- pied by Emmons’, cafe, but four or five years later moved into the struc- ture to the south, occupying the store adjoining the A. H. & W. Abbe Hardware company. For many years Mr. Hadley conducted this business and was regarded as one of the most successful business men of that period. He remained there until 1895 when a disastrous fire occurred and the store was burned out. Mr. Hadley then retired from the grocery business. Takes Over Park Hotel, Shortly afterwards he acquired possesslon of the Park Hotel, formerly known as the Humphrey House, one of New Britain’s pioneer hostelries. This structure was remodeled under his direction ad stores were con- structed on the street level. The ho- tel he has since conducted.

He also took note of the campaign tour Charles E. Hughes is making in behalf of his candidacy for the presidency.
