A Day of Wind and Dust. ‘What the wind storm did in various western cities was feebly imitated in Danielson, yet the velocity~of the gale as it swept over this section during Thursday was remarkable in its fierce- ness. Clouds of dust swished and swirled and sifted over everybody and everything. There were times during the day when the business section was obscured in dust and the Easter shop- pers battling against the ill natured weather conditions might be excused for their exasperation. The street sprinkler that moves slowly up and down the street in fair weather and foul, once it is put on the job, ig still among the missing signs of soring. The open season on street sprinkling has not yet arrived. » of Boston is OIL ENGINE COMPANY May Be Able to Arrange Financial Matters So as to Resume Business. Danielson may not lose the oil en- gine indsutry after all; at least there a chance of the concern resuming siness here, according tQta story that was told Thursday to Bhe effect that the International Oil Engine DANIELSON- AND PUTNAM NEWS. company, now in the hands of a re- ceiver, will try and make as liberal a settlement as possible with credi- tors, agd later reorganize and do bu: iness. " er the name of the Ameri- can Oil\Engine company. It is known that Geheral Manager W. A. Hatch of the International company has ex- pended much effort since the begin- ning of the receivership in an endeav- or to extricate the company from the financia] difficulties; and, according to the rumor, he has so far succeeded as to secure under a special arrange- ment, sufficient capital to permit the company to resume business. The re- ceiver’s sale of the engine company’'s unencumbered property is fixed for to- morrow (Saturday) and developments —if any are to be expected—will prob- ably come at that time. Further, in the story of the probabilities, it is claimed that Mr. Robinson of New York, who holds a mortgage on the greater part of the machinery, has agreed to transfer his mortgage to others willing to assume it, and that the properties offered for sale Satur- day will be bid upon for the engine company, It is said that the hope of resumption and the future success of the old ‘engine company is based on the fact that their new two-cylinder engine, which is an improvement over their present type of engine, was near- ly completed when the company pass- ed into the hands of a ‘receiver, and that as soon as it can be placed on the market it should prove a big sell- er, and insure the success of its build- ers. A POSSIBLE CANDIDATE. W. Irving Bullard Might Accept Nbm- ination for Warden. Conditionally W. Irving Bullard vice president of the Jacobs Manufacturing company, is a receptive candidate for the office of warden of Danielson, Dur- ing the weeks that have preceded the time of nomination Mr. Bullard has re- frained from entering the field as a candidate for the place, but on the eve of “the caucus he has conditionally reconsidered his decision. Mr. Bullard if tendered the nomination may ac- cept the candidacy as a public duty but in this case only with the under- standing that the coming administra- tion be one practically agreed to the practice of strict economy in the man- agement of the affairs of the borough and one with the borough burgesses serving on the old salary basis and fully agreeable to assume the duty of solving al] borough problems that may arise, this without criticism of any person or of past events. Mr. Bullard is a republican and a member of the board of relief has rendered service of marked value to the town. Bad Forest Fire at North Sterling.
