Natchaug grange ‘held its/regular meeting last Friday evening. fThe lec- turer's programme opened with a pa-: per on How to Use the Waste Products of the Farm, by Mrs. L. A, Demming, and a violin sojo, by Fannie Russ, The lecturer then introduced state forest fire warden Austin Hawes, who spoke on forestry. Connecticut is the most favorable state in the United States for forestry on account of near markets for lumber. This state used 23 billion feet of lumber the past year and has raised only about 7 billion feet, showing that there is three times as much used as is grown each year. The average is about one-half cord of wood to the acre In_ Comnecticyt at the present time, With forestry methods it could be easily doubled. Forestry will increase yearly if the people are given protection from fire to their forests. At the present time there are forest fire wardens in all but two or three towns in the state. The past year there were 300 fires, burn- ing over nearly 18,000 acres. The cost of putting out the fires was $37. The rallroads in the state were re- sponsible for one-half of the fires in the past year. At present the state has three for- ests, one in Unlon of 300 acres, one in Portland of 1,000 acres and one in Simsbury of 125 acres. The trees best adapted for forest planting are the chestnut, white, scotch and red pines, | white ash and oak. The whita pine is the most profitable on account o1 Its | fast growth. In the past year there were nearlv 50,000 trees planted. The state has a nurser by this means the trees can be secured much cheaper than from the nurserymen. The trees can be bought from the state nursery for about $4 a thousand, this being very reasonable, The first planting of trees there should be about 1,500 to the acre, or otherwige 5 feet apart each way. On good land four men can set out on the average four thousand tr a day. Forestry is carried on very profitably in Germany and France, and there is no reason why it cannot be in Connec- ticut or anywhere in the United States. Catherine McQuade recited The Old Village Choir, and a talk on The New Invention of Making Paper out of Corn Stalks, by O. Wilson completed the evening’s programme. UNDER $300 BONDS, Uncasville Young Man Awaiting Re- sult of Woman’s Injuries. Henry Luzotte, a young man who bhas been emploved in a mill in Un- casville, was placed under bonds of $300 on_ Tuesday by Justice of the Peace Henry A Bolles on a charge of assault, A further hearing will be held in his case when a decided change in the condition of the victim of his assault takes places. It is not im- probable that the young man may have to answer to a charge of man- slaughter. Luzotte got away from the town immediately after the assault but was located at River Point, R. L, and Con- stable Ernest Auwood went there aft- er him, bringing him back to Uncas- ville Tuesday. He spent all night in the local police headquarters. Bonds were furnished by his father. Luzotte is being closely watched and will be placed in confinement if he atempts to leave town, Luzotte had Deen attentive to a voung woman in Uncasville, it is said, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Paul De. mars, It is charged that a few davs ago he went to the house while under the influence of liquor and conducted himself in a manner which was re- sented bv Mrs. Demars and she or- dered him out of the place. This an- gered him and instead of leaving, it is claimed that he attacked Mrs. De- mars, who is an invalld, and injured her considerably. From the effects of the struggle and shock to her system Mrs. Demars is now in a critical con- dition and some doubts are entertained of ner recovery. She is under the care of a doctor.

Two iines of hose are left attached to the hydrant at the corner of J. A. Moran and whenever the flames break forth the streams are turned on and the fire checked. Since the fire the ruins have smoked, there being a particularly stubborn blaze near the Chelsea bank wall under where the etairway In the Shannon bullding was and another along the wal]l between the Shannon and Plaut- Cadden property, while at the rear near the track there is another bed of fire. As long as it will burn up with- out danger no one objects to the re- moval of the debris in that way. The firemen are able to go Into the ruins and it is believed the removal of the safes will be started today. The safe in the office of B. P. Learn- ed & Co. was opened on Thursday and the contents found to be intact. Ex- perts are here from out of town to open other safes today. The securitles and money from the Chelsea Savings bank was transferred on Thursday from the Chelsea bank to the Norwich Savings soclety. It was carrfed in a trunk, being guarded by two of the bank officials and two policemen. The transfer was made without incident. Did All That Was Possible. ©On Thursday Chief Stanton received a check for §100 from James B. Shan- non for the work of the department. Chlef Stanton had a talk with Mr. Shannon during the day and during it stated that he thought Mr. Shannon had been so great a loser that the gift ought not to be made. Mr. Shannon told the chief that he had not accom- panied the check with a letter, but he knew that the department had done ail possible and he felt that thelr work was worthy of remembrance. He would not listen to taking it back and Chief Stanton deposited it with the one of like amount from the Parker-Daven- port Co. to the credit of the firemen's fund. Nothing has as yet been determined relative to the Chelsea bank building, but it is probable that it will be en- tirely rebuilt. The nigh wind of the past two days has caused considerable alarm because of the cdndition of the front wall and on Thursday three largs joists were braced against the front as a support. Much Injury would resuit to the material if the front should fall, while it may be possible to remove it without injury after the imsurance has been adjusted. Adjusters Were Busy. There were many insurance adjust- ers in town on Thursday for the pur- pose of fixing up the losses, but it will be some time before this work can be completed. The Reld & Hughes Co, is awaiting the « ening of the vaults, which must be thoroughly cold before it is attempted. The Reid & Hughes Co. has establisned an office in the pharmacy of H. B. Smith and their | store will be opened after the adjust- ment of the insurance as soon as pos- sible. The adjustment will be affected considerably by the way the books and papers of the company are found in the vault, fu which is the inventory. Boston Canay kitchen, had his insur- full amount. The pestal inspector from Boston has been here to determine the loss in con- nection with the Boston store, but as the vault could not be opened he could do nothing but return.

The work of clearing up the ruins was started on Thursday morning by A. D, Lathrop, who had a number of mén and several carts at work on the job and most of the steel piers and tLe girders were taken away, the side- walk being cleared of much of the material. Some of the iron work was found to be twisted and warped, but the piers did not appear to be badly damaged. The girders will be laid out for inspection an dif suitable for vse in the new building will be re- claimed. The iron was taken away by Max Gordon & Son. Inasmuch as the ruins have cooled considerably, it: being possible to get into them, the mass of timbers, brick- work and iron will be tackled and hustled away as soon as cossible as the owners are anxious to get at their sufes. Inasmuch as the safes fell through the fioors into the cellar which was practically full of water, it Is telieved that they gre all uninjured, although Major Steiner stated that he had fears for his safe Norwich bas had visitcrs from all over the state to view the ruins. Chlef Stanton on Thursday received a very appreclative letter from Dr. Loujse Franklin Miner, expressing her thanks to the chief and the department for savirg her life. One of the losers by the fire re- marked on Wednesday that he thought the city must be full of typewriter agents, as his footsteps were being dogged by men who wanted to sell a machine. Almost the first man to call upon him Wednesday morning at his home was a typewriter agent, One resident thinks that the most effective way to increase the water supply seems to be a big fire. Thursday afterncon & number of small boys penetrated into the ruins where the news and cigar store of F. C. Lewis had been, and discovered a quantity of clgars, which they seized upon as souvenirs. The cigars were still damp, but had not been touched by the fire. Artist Lowerth’s Experience. | When the five men who rescued Art- ist Henry Loweth from his apartments on the third floor of the Shannon building next meet Mr. Loweth they { will learn with no uncertain terms how imur‘h he feels indebted to them for saving his life. As the artist escaped with but seven cents and a few clothes that he wore, he says that a verbal ex- pression of thanks is the most he can do now, but he/hopes at some future time, when his' fortunes are restored, to make some further recognition of their efficient help. He has learned that his rescuers were Policeman John Kane, . Sergeant Twomey, Policeman Myron Morgan, Fireman David Fitz- gerald and Henry Lewis. They secur- ed a ladder and brought him down from his window, while the flames in the hall were beating upon the door of | his room and threatening every mo- | ment to come through upon him. When Mr. Loweth was first awakened, he ays he stepped out into the hall to ee where the fire was, and was be- numbed by a blast of smoke and flame coming towards him. so that he fell and lay on the floor for some moments | till he recovered, and then groped around until hg found the handle of a door. This let him into his own room again, where he found a pair of trous- ers, which he put on, and he also got | his overcoat and another coat\which | he noticed on the radiator when he | stepped to the window to call for help. | This was all that he saved, leaving | about $5 in change on the table and| an enveope containing over $300 which | he had DR.
