J. O’'Connor was chosen chairman and Herman Alofsin clerk, : The following sresolution was pre- sented and provoked considerable dis- cussion, resulting in its unanimous adoption: ‘We, the undersigned citizens of the city of Norwich, residing on the West Side, do hereby entér our protest t, the proposition of the selling the building on West Main street in the city of Norwich, now occupi by hose company, No. 5, and owned by the city of Norwich, and we also fur- ther protést against the removal of the said hosé company, No. 5, from said building. The West Side is in need of the said company for the pur- pose of fire protection, and is also in need of a place for public meetings, and. the building in question should be kept for those purposes, and also for the varfous elections held in that leeality. It would be a saving to the city of Norwich by so doing, instead of hiring rooms in other buildings for ‘such purposes, It is uncalled for and unnecessary to sell the said property and the same should be retained by the city. Among those who spoke were J. H. Lee, Dennis Donovan, W. A. Breed, C. E. Briggs, Myer Blumenthal, Messrs. Connor and Mahoney. There was no opposition to the resolution, but the speakers thought that tne company BRIEF EULOGY OF FRANK T. BROWN. Given at Legislature by Representative Parker of Hartford—Fulfilled Every Duty as He Met It. -Wednesday in the legislature, when the report of the committee on in- corporations regarding the Billard company was presented, Mr. Parker of Hartford offered an amendment striking out the name of Frank T. died. In discussing the amendment, Mr. Parker spoke in part as follows: “'This is neither the time nor the place for a eulogy on Frank Thurs- ton Brown, but I crave the indulgence of the house to say a word out of re- spect for his memory. Modestly and quietly, without pretense and without ostentation, he had come to the front rank of his profession and in the es- teem of the community in which he dwelt. “Avolding rather than seeking the applause of his fellow men, he was content to fulfil every duty as he met it, and to do with his might his full share of the work of the world. His work was that of a master workman. It was done faithfully, thoroughly, conscientiously and masterfully. More than once he has put aside proffers of high political honors. “It is vain to imagine what honors might have come to him from the womb of the future, but whatever they might have been or however high, he would have borne them modestly and ‘worthily. “Norwich, justly proud as she is of her many distiiguished sons, has had few sons-abler and more noble than Frank Thurston Brown. “With grief as for a brother dead, I move the adoption of the amend- ment.” The amendment prevailed, NEW LONDON ITAGAN S8HOT DOWN BY ANOTHER. Resuited from Fight Over Game of Cards—Lived But Ten Minutes. Alphonse Barbuto, aged 35, an Ital- jan, was shot and killed by Frank Diabato; aged 30, in the saloon of Antone Grippo, No. 8 Truman street, 1N'w London, at 10.15 Thursday even- ng. There was a row over a game of cards, as Saloon Keeper Grippo said in his story to the police. ¥rom the investigation by Medical Examiner Lee it was learned that Diabato called Bar- buto tad names and the latter tried to get Diabato outside, but Diabato push- ed him away and with a .38 calibre re- volver shot him between the sixth and seventh rips on the right side, the bullet going through the upper part of the stomach, both lungs and the dia- phragm. Diabato died in about ten minutes. Only one shot was fired. Diabato tried to get out of the saloon, but was cnufiht and held by the saloon keeper until the police arrived and took charge cf him. Medical Examiner Dr. Lee al- lowed the body to be rethoved. There were eight witnesses to the fight, which s belleved to have heen the result of a hot wave of anger dur- ing the game of cards. Both men are single and day laborers. RETURNED FROM KENTUCKY. Rev. A. P. Blinn Attended Supreme Council of Gelden Cross. Rev. A, P. Blinn, one of the repre- eentatives from Massachusetts to the supreme council of the Order of the Golden Cross, has just returned from attending the annual session jn Louis- villes Ky, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. .A delightful sightseeing tour was included in the trip, which lasted just two weeks and was made with a party of twenty- seven in a special car which left New York a week ago Saturday. Dwight Eharp of Putnam and Connecticut rep- resantatives from Bridgeport, Hartford and Derby were fhcluded in the party. On the way out Allentown, Harris- burg, Gettysburg, Washington and Cin- cinnat! were visited, and returning the route was through Cleveland, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Springfield. Mr. Sharp was elected to member- ship on the committee on good of the er and Mr. Blinn was urged to have his name presented for one of the su- preme council offices, but declined the ‘honor because of the difficulty of at- tending the ‘sessions at such a dl: tance. This was the thirty-third nual convention and a membership gain of 2200 was shown in the past year, Annual Shad Dinner. Brown, stating that since the resolu- | tion was drawn Frank T.

They considered that it was jeopardizing the property of the West Side to move the leving that the long runs of take quite a while getting to Pleasant street schoolhouse or vicin- All the speakers were opposed the selling of the present seation, as they belleved it should be retained for th~ polling place and other meet of the district. One speaker tho that if"the company did go to Thames- ville that there would be amother for the West Side, as there would be such a hue and cry that it would have to come, and with it a new station. He thought Thamesville needed the pro- tection and now is the time to get it for them. . After the resolutinn had been voted P. J. O’Connor was authorized to eir- culate it, he having stated that prae- tically all the residents of the district, especially those living in the vicinity of Otis’ store, favored it. Mr. O'Connor then stated that there was another matter of much import ance which the meeting should act ur- on. The city has a fine water supply, but the Second district has no repre- sentation on the water board. This he claimed wae not right, and thought there were plenty of men qualified to sit in the board in the district. He urged them to attend the caucuses of both parties and work for the nomina- tion of a Second district man for the water board, which was favored by the meeting. The meeting lasted an hour, ad- journing at 9 o'clock after which most of those present signed the protest. 250th ANNIVERSARY, CELEBRATION of the Founding of Norwich, July 5th and 6th ¥ Incidents in Socisty \—J Dr. E.
