In the years before the Civil war a United States officer, who subsequent- 1y Braxton Bragsg, was and quartermaster at small army post. The major com- became General lieutenant at ex- ! tended leave, and Bragg became acting commandant. Acting as commandent, he wrote a letter to himself as quar- | termaster, demanding to be supplied certain mules. In his capacity of quartermaster he wrote back to himself as commandant, explalning, that the mules could not be furnished. He carried on an acrimonious corre pondence with himself on this diffi question until the major’s return, When this remarkable series of letters was submitted to the maor he had to read them twice to grasp the meaning of it all. He said, finally “Mr. Bragg, you have quarreled with every officer in the United States army. now vou are trying to yourself." 1t quarrel with Swish—and he ran off with the biscuits. Gee! Ma was mad.

There is reason to believe today: cording to Dr. John N. Bull, health officer, that the the typhoid epidemic in this place | has been reached and that from now on the prevalence of this dreadful dis gradually decline. The atest scare in the epidemic occurred yesterday when Dr. H Frost Dr. Bull were called into consultation in the illness of Mis: Metta Saunders of Pierce street, [t is on Pierce street that the disease first made its appearance, and therc were several victims living in that vi- cinity. Miss Saunders developed alarming symptoms and although her attending physician, Dr. think she had typhoid, best to make positive, officer was called into consultation. The verdict was that the patient was not suffering from typhoid. This an- nouncement brings a feeling of great relief not only to the family but to the community at large. The condition of all of the other patients today was reported as favor- able, although several are still said to be critically 11l Dr. Bull stated this morning that there have been no new cases of ty- phoid since last Wednesday. That is almost a week ago, and he is hope- ful that the crisis has been reached and the epidemic checked. It is im- sible, however, to positively state that there will be no further danger, as it sometimes takes two weeks for the germs to Incubate in a person’s system before they make themselves apparent. It is two weeks since the isease first came to notice here and, nuch as the majority of the cases developed within a week of that time, there is good reason to feel hopeful for the future, according to the town’s physicians. Of the eight people to be stricken by the disease only one has died, Rosario Pettinato, son of Frank Pet- tinato of Pierce street. Recovery of the other patients is anticipated. Mary Pettinato and Miss Dorothy Conlin, the latter of Whiting street, are both patients at St. F NG hospital and their conditions are favorable. Lloyd Bdwards of West Main street is at the Hartford hospital, as is Wilson Ellis of Whiting street. There have been no alarming developments in the con- dition of either of these two patients over Sunday. Sunday marked tho crisis in the case of William Marshall of Canal street, and today his recovery seems more hopeful, although he is still in a serious condition. The condi- tions of Julius Hirsch of Mountain View, Miss Ethel Barnes of Broad street and Clayton Lawrence are said to be improved this morning. Although Health Officer Bull and Dr. J .T. Black of the state health department both declare they aré con- vinced that the epidemic of typhoid resulted from the sale of contaminat- ed milk by Lyman M. Burt, for a quarter of a century a well-known milk dealer in this place, there are many ‘people in town who do not agree with them, and still hold to the orig- inal belief that the water supply 1s the cause of the epidemic. According to the health officials, the milk sold by Mr. Burt was presumably infected with bacteria, and the victims, who partook of milk shakes prepared from milk in Louis Conforti’s store on Wiest Main street were subsequently stricken. Those who disagree with the health officlals think that had the milk been the cause of the disease the sickness would be more widespread about the town, as Mr. Burt had many custom- ers. For some time previous to the outbreak of the epidemic people claim that the water furnished for drinking purposes was unwholesome. They say that its color was bad and that its i odor was such as to make it post- tively disgusting. Analysis, howevery is said to have discredited the water theory with the health 6fficials. The water supply, which had been shut off for a few days, has again been turned on. During the few days that the water was turned off a force of men were engaged in cleaning the reservoir and today the water Iis somewhat improved, although it still appears to be tainted with the objec- tionable odor. The health officials have condemned Mr. Burt’s milk supply and until they lift the embargo on his dalry he will not supply his customers. May Organize V lantes. Some of the residents of the district in the vicinity of Westwood park are said to be considering the organiza- tion of a local vigilantes committee as the result of an attempted attack on 2 young lady living in that locality recently. The young woman had been to New Britain and was, returning to her home, several hundred feet from the trolley line, unescorted. A man described as short, thick and pock- marked, sat opposite to her on the car and made himself offensive by his attempts to attract her attention. As e left the car in this lonely section the man also left and followed her. Panic-stricken, the young woman broke into a frenzied run toward her home, the man in close pursuit. In a half fainting condition the terrified young woman rushed into her home ac- town high tide of se will v Lawrence and Frost, did not he deemed it so the health 1916.

ARE WORTH and informed the members of her tamily of the attempted attack. Armed for immediate and positive action, male members of the family at once went out to look for the marauder, but although they searched the neighborhood caretully they were un- able to locate him. Several trolley cars going in either direction were stopped and the conductors asked if they had picked up any man answering to the given description, but they had not. No official complaint has been made to the prose.uting authorities, but res- idents of that section of the town are on the alert for any unwelcome Vvisit- ors, and assure him a warm reception should he attempt to force his atten- tions on any of the female residents again. Will Distribute $10,000. Clerks at the Plainville Trust com- pany are busily engazed in preparing of the various depositors, who will be given their savings in a lump sum on De cember 15, ten days before Christmas. During the past year there have been 400 people who have taken advantage of this Christmas club department of the Trust company, and these people, who have made their weekly deposits all year, have ranged from the mini- mum account to the maximum. ‘When the last payents are made this week and the Christmas checks are glven out next week the sum of §$10,- 000 will be disbursed among the 400 ' club members. Various stores in Plainville and also ia New Britain | have made preparations to c Chrfstmas checks for customers. After the Christmas holidays the Christmas club department will again reopen for the coming year and it i expected that the number of deposit ors will be even larger than in the past . Bank officials state that this proposition is one of the biggest suc. cesses that have taken place in any banking circles in many years. It encourages savings on the part of the people, it assures them of a tidy sum with which to do their Christmas shopping #nd withal they do not feel the financial drain during the year owing to the small size of the weekly deposits. It also increases the popu- larity of the bank ,and.increases the business of the institution. Flagman Badly Injured. C. R. Riley of Waterbury, man employed in the local freight yards, had a narrow escape from death at midnight Saturday when he was hurled from the top of a box car at the transfer station. Riley was on top of the car and was unprepared for any shock, when the car suddeniy collided with another car and jumped the track. The impact caused the gman to lose his balance, but with presence of mind he leaped out ove- the edge to avoid being thrown he- tween the two cars and possibly under the wheels. He landed on his feet, bhut with such force that both of his ankles were badly sprained. It was al first feared that the man had broken both ankles. He was taken to Dr. Tanner for attention where a careful examination showed that instead of a break it was a bad sprain which, how- ever, may cause the victim to be lald up about as long as would be occa- sloned by a broken bone. Post Office Advice. With the rapid advance of the Christmas holidays, Postmaster Prior is making careful preparations to han- dle the big influx of incoming and out- going .Christmas mail. In this connec- tion posters are being prepared to ask the co-operation of the public in securing efficient service. The posters will request all persons sending pack- ages through the mail to make suro that they are neatly and securely wrapped in heavy paper and that the name and address of the sender plainly marked. Care in these little detwils will save much confusion. The posal authorities also edvise people to send their Christmas packages that are going out of town as early as possible, as around Christmas time the mails are flooded with packages, the Christmas club accounts a flag- is h these | and unfortunate delays in delivery arc | sure to occur. It is suggested that [pc()ple sending Christinas packages at he present time should mark them ‘Not to be opened until December 25, | or some such way, so that the ulti- ult will be the same as though s day. Hold Anniversary Mass. An anniversary mass of requiem was sung by Rev. James T.

The directors of the Young Men's club will hold their monthly meeting on Wednesday evening in the Town hall. Routine business will be tran- | sacted. | On Thursday evening the Young | Men’s basket ball team, which recent- |1y got away to a fast start in what is expected will be a most successful season, will play the Forestville quin- tet in the town hall.

The New Britain Independ- ents will play a preliminary game. On Saturday night the Plainville aggregation will probably play a re- turn game in Forestville. Will Reappoint Firemen. There seems to be but little doubt at present but what both Fire Chief Minton A. Norton and Deputy Fire Chief E. P. Prior will be reappointed by the fire commissioners when they meet. The date for the annual fair of the Plainvill> hose company has not yet been set, but it has been decided to hold it in the town hall. A specia committee has been appointed to plan the nature of the entertainment. Subway Work Proceeds. The town selectmen were on the job early today to make certain that their orders in connection with the digging up of the center for the telephone subway were being observed. Every- | thing being. satisfactory, they regis- tered no further complaint and indi- | cations now are that the work will proceed smoothly. The gang has been at work for eight days mow and the work will be soon completed. Delmcla Family Leaves, The wife and children of G. De= Lucia, the Forestville tailor, who dis~ appeared from town several days ago, left today.
