The three wires which make up the line are all strung from Thamesville to South Windham and the work is now on special cross- ings of which there are eighteen in that distance.

Burst Shows Old Fashioned Water Pipe Superintendent Burnap and a gang of workmen from the water depart- ment had an all night job Wednesday at Peck's corners following a blow out at 4 o'clock in the afterncon in the pipe which runs through East Town street. Notice of the burst was re- ceived at the water office by telephone and as Superintendent Burnap happen- ed to be there at the time he hurried to Norwich Town at once and shut off the section where the break was with- out delay. The escaping water dug quite a hole in the street but did not interfere with the trolley car tracks. The blowout was found to be in a section of the old stovepipe coated with cement, inside and out, which was put down at the time the reservoir was built. It was not supposed any of this pipe was still in the city system, but this section will not be replaced by iron pipe of six inch size. This will be done at once to give water to this sec- tion of East Town street, which is now shut off. Long Drought Broken. Norwich people gladly got out their long unused umbrellas on Wednesday evening, when the first sprinkling of rain appeared about 7.30 o'clock, break- ing the long drought. Early in the evening up to 9.30 o'clock, the rain came only in intermittent showers, but after midnight and in the early morn- ing_hours of Thursday, the fall was copious and.steady. At Lincoln park there was a heayy shower in the early evening, and in New London it jat Bean Hill OBITUARY. Mrs. Selden S; Wightman, (Contributed). Mrs. Prudence. Allyn ‘Wightman widow of Selden §; Wightman, who died at his homein Norwich Town about five weeks ago, passed away about 2 o'clock in the aftermoon of Aug. 2, 1909, at the summer home of her daughter, Mrs. Arthur C. Fuller at Best View on the Thames. After having had the constant care of her husband through a year and over of his last sickness, she had ar- ranged for and eptered upon & Sum- raer of needed rest and freedom from care. An attack of gastritis followed by heart failure was the immediate cause_of her death, which brings a new and deep sorrow to the hearts of her children and her many friends. Mrs. Wightman was born at Allyns Point March 20, 1836, the youngest child of twelve children of Cyrus and Mary (Morgan) Allyn. She was a descendant of Robert Allyn, who own- ed in 1651 a large tract of land on the river at the place which has ever since been known as Allyns Point. Robert Allyn was also one of the 35 founders of Norwich. His home lot, which was his residence for a few years (and later his son John's) was locatéd oposite the Methodist church Her grandfather, The- ophulus Morgan, was a_soldier of the American Revolution. Mr. Wightman whom she married Dec. 16, 1657, was a native of Bozrah und their home was in that town until 1888 when they moved to Norwich to remain for four years, coming in 1892 to Norwich Town. She leaves four children, Byron Wightman and_Mrs. Willlam S. Geer of Norwich; Blijah S. Wightman of Schenectady, N. Y., .and Mrs. Arthur C. Fuller .of New London. She also leaves four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Mrs. Wightman was a woman of supreme worth and strength of char- acter—a character not formed in a day, but the result of & lifetime’s continuance in well-doing—a life. that reflected the Christ in its devotion to right in its lovableness, its. sympathy, its unselfishess, its ~submission to God's will, Many friends synipathize with those, who in the passing away of this noble life, lose’ from .earth ' the choicest carijly blessing—a mother's love, Mrs. Sarah L. Becker. Mrs. Sarah L, Becker passed peace- fully away at the home of her daugh- was reported there was a hard rain all night. Moving Thres Ton Safe. The job of moving a three ton safe from the cellar of the Boston store, where the fire was, to the second story of the present store attracted consid- erable attention on Wednesday and was skilfully accomplished by a local truckman. Before it was safe to back the truck carrying the safe up on to the sidewalk it was necessary to shore the walk up, as the big weight would probably have crashed through with- out the extra supports. CONGRESSMAN ASSAULTED BY AUTO DRIVER Representative Had Threatened to Re- port Him for Reckless Driving. Washington, Aug. 4.—Representa- tive Heflin of Alubama, became in- volved In a personal encounter with an_automobilist, whose name is said 1o be Johnson, on the streets of Wash- ington this afternoon. Mr. Heflin aand Reprasentative Ollie James of Kentucky were crossing ¥ street together wnen an automobile whizzad by them very nearly running them down. The two congressmen took the car’s number. Observing this action the automobilist halled the con- gressmen, inquiring why they had taken .his number. The congressman replied that they intended to report him for fast and reckless driving and told him who they were. Denying their allegations, the driver Is said to have made some remark that was decidedly distasteful to Mr. Heflin. Mr. Heflin's rejoinder, it is sand, was sharp and to the point. The two southern representatives | then moved aw: but the automobilist, it is alleged, persisted after them, de- manding Mr. Heflin to withdraw his statement. The two men came to- gether in front of a local hotel but few blows were struck, other men sep- arating the combatants before any damage had been done. No arrest was made. GREECE REPLIES TO TI.JRKEV. Former Says That Recall of Her Of- ficers in Crote Depends on Powers. Constantinople, Aug. 4—Greece has replied to the Turkish note presented today, which, although couched ' in friendly terms, practically demands the recall of the Greek officers serving in Crete. The reply says, in effect, that the question is in the hands of the four. protecting powers of Crete, with whose knowledge and consent the offi- cers in_question were sent to the isl- and. Turkey is appealing to the four powers, and she intimates that her friendly request to Greece will be fol- lowed, unless satisfaction is obtained, by a 'more energetic demand. . .. - . The report that Turkey . has sent transports with troops or. board to Crete ls denied today, but it seems probable ‘hat the Turkish fleet mow manoeuvring in the neighborheod of Rhodes will proceed to Cretan waters. In this event the British admiral,:Sir Douglas Gamble, in command of the fleet, would hand over his vharge to a Tarkish admiral. ‘A SCHOONER IN DISTRESS.

PRINCE BANKRUPT. Heir. Presumptive to. Grand Duchy of Weimar Renpunces: Succession. ‘Welmar, Germany, Aug. 4—Prince Hermann of Saxe-Weimar-Eigenach, the heir presumptive to the grand duchy of Weimar, has renounced the succession of himself or his heirs, if any, to the throne of the grand duchy orits property. This.action, which was carried out with every official formality, is in consequence of the prinee’s extravagance, which already has caused his transfer from the cuir- assiers of the guard .in Berlin to a Uhlan regiment garrisoned at Saar- ’burg, and later to compulsory retire- ment from the army, after which he was placed unden a guarianship.

Joint Cruise of Seawanhaka of New York and Corinthian of Philadelph Ends. \ Newport, R. L, Aug. 4—Past Bren- ton's Reef lightship there sped late to- day the racing fleet of a score of yachts participating in the final racing Tun of the joint cruise of the Seawan- haka-Corinthian Yacht club of: New York and the Corinthian club of Phil delphia. Leading as she has m the several cruises of the season, the old cup defender Vigilant, now yawl rigged and owned by W. E. Iselin, covered the 37-mile course in 6 hours, 34 minutes, 1 second. The start had been made from New London during the forenoon. Fifteen minutes late the sloop Alta owned by Cord Meyer, crossed the lip: Among the Class M sloops the com- petition was keen, less than half a min- ute separating the yachts Eleanora and Aspirant. A time allowance of 1 min. ute, 47 seconds gave the victory to the former. In a number of the classes the racing was boat for boat, without the use of any allowances. In the New York Yacht club 30-foot class the sloop Phryne, owned by J. S. O'Rourke, showed her heels to the field, having a five minute margin at the finish. _The sloop Edjake II won against the Pel grin in a special race. The winners in other classes were the Polaris in Class M for yawls, the Princess in Class Q for sloops and the Relipse in schooner Class E. The fleet disbanded here today. NIGHT SESSION OF SENATE. Difficulty Encountered in Rounding up Quorum—Adjourns at 11.42. ‘Washington, Aug. 4.—It looked as it the senate'had gone on a “strike” when the hour to reassemble arrived tonight. Vice President Sherman rapped the body to order at 8 o'clock and Senator Smoot at once called for a quorum as the first business of the evening. There was but a sprinkling of sen- ators on the floor and the reading clerk proceeded very slowly in calling the roll in order to give senators time to come in. It was the first time dur- ing the long tariff debate that diffi- culty was experienced in obtaining a quorum. ‘When the suggestion for a night sessfon was made by Senator Bailey, possibly for thie purpose of permitting “insurgent” senators to voice their criticism of the tariff bill, Senator Al- drich and other senators did not take kindly to the idea of sitting up late o hear these speakers. At 8 o'clock the .Rhode Island senator was one of those whose absence was noted. After nearly half an hour had pass- ed with a quorum still lacking, Sena- tor Nelson moved that the sergeant at arms be instructed to send for absen- tees. ¥ Challenging the statement by Mr. Cummins that there had been no sub- stantial reduction in the bill, Mr. Al- drich declared that there had been 500 reductions of rates. It would be im- possible, he said, to show that these rates were above a reasonable protec- tive point. At 11.42 the senate adjourned until ten o'clock tomorrow. WONG BOW CHONG HELD. Coroner’s Jury ds True Bill and He is Held for Grand Jury. New York, Aug. 4—Wong Bow Chong, the Chinaman who has been in custody since Saturday, following the fatal shooting of Luk Wing, the Chinese vice consul in thig city, was charged with deliberate murder today by a coroner's jury. Witnesses testi- fied to having intercepted Wong Bow Chong, revolver in hand, in his at- tempted flight out of the bullding in which the shooting occurred and to the identification of the prisoner by the wounded Luk Wing as the man who had fired the shot which ultimately caused the vice consul's death. ‘Wong Bow Chong. was brought be- fore the coroner after the verdict and was recommitted to the Tombs prison ta await the action of the grand jury.

Mayor Lee attended the meeting of the police commission- ers Saturday night in_order ta call their attention to this matter, he hav- ing a long complaint in regard to the matter from citizens of Black Rock, who told about the excessive speed with whic hautomoblles were driven along that part of Fairfield avenue where only a portion of the street is open.

The effect of the maximum and min- imum provision of the measure, as agreed upon by the conferees, was the chief subject of discussion. this aft- ernoon. - Senator Beveridge, quoting the remarks of Chairman Aldrich, un- dertook to show Mr. Aldrich had in- terpreted the language as reported by the conferees as practically guaran- teeing all the results that could be ob- tained through the tariff commission. Senator Hale argued at great length that exactly the opposite purpose was in the minds of the hogse conferees, whose views had been adopted. He insisted that they carefully avolded giving any authority to the president by which he could gather information on which enother revision of the tar- iff could be based. From the committee on finance, Mr. Aldrich reported a concurrent resolu tion by which, ence report has beea voted upon, the hide and leather schedule will be cor- rected. 1t is intended to meet the views of western senators, who demanded lower dutles on products manufactured from leather, » WORK FOR A COMMISSION. Reformatory Board Has Before It a Task of No Ordinary Proportions. ‘The commission appointed by Gover- nor Weeks under the act establishing a reformatory, says the Hartford Cou- rant, has no small contract on its hands. It must select a site, start the ne:essary buildings, choose = suitable executive offices for the institution and show the state what can be done for those who sidestep from the’ lawful path. The persons who may be admit- ted to the refermatory are men be- tween 16 and 25 years of age, convict- ed of a first offense, provided the of- fense be not one for which imprison- ment for life is the penalty. Different sentences are imposed according to the grade of the offense. Beside these of- fenders, boys from the Meriden school may be committed there by agreement between the trustees of the two insti- tutions. The board of directors, the superin- tendent acting with them, may parole inmates on a majorit~ vote, but it can only release by a unanimous vote, The um of $400,000 is appropriated for the establishment of the institution. It stands for the humane and opti- mistic view of penal affairs, and repre- sents the hope of the state for the reformation and rescue of those not sunk in the criminal life. - 'ALL HIS MONEY. Stolen from Torrington Man While in New York. Delphin Rocher, a French resident of| Torrington was robbed df $425 in New York. He with his wife left for New York to sail for France on La Lor- raine of the French line. After visit- ing a restaurant before taking the steamer he missed his pocketbook containing $75 curren and a check for $350 payable in Paris. This .was practically ail the money he had. His steamer tickets were in another pocket so that with a temporary loan from a friend they were enabled to continue their journey. The loss was reported to the police aand steps were taken towards stopping payment on the check. Rocher is a molder for the Coe Brass company and for 30 years he had been saving money to make the trip. OAKS ARE HOODOOED. Memorial Tree: House on New Haven State Fail to Thrive. That a hoodoo attends the commem- orative oak trees which are planted on the Green begins to occupy the minds of some of the planters as a result of the conditions visible in regard to those same trees. The oak tree plant- ed last Good Friday by Admiral Foote post of the G. A. R. is the latest to be affected. The tree gave promise of be- ing quite a monument to Abraham Lincoln, in whose honor it was plant- ed, but it is now dying. It will be rememberéd that the famous Consti- tutional oak that died earlier and it now seems that all that are planted at or near the site of the old*state house perished before reaching any size.— New Haven 'Journal-Courier. Dime-in-the-Slot Typewriter, The taxi-typewriter, or typewriter pay station, as it is officially)known, is the latest pay as you go innovation in the commercial ~world, says the Hartford Times, and the Underwood company, which originated the, idea, is equipping local hotels with ma- chines for use of the public. The regular Underwond macnine is equip- ped with a small clock on the side, which opens and locks ~the machine automatically, ylelding a balf hour's service for 10 cents. Thus any person familiar with the machine may go to a hotel, order & machine sent to his room, and can write as many private letters or papers as he wishes, without having to disclose any business or persona secrets to a public stenographer. Pa- per and other accessories are furnish- ed with the machine. The innovation already has been well received wher- ever it has been installed® For con- venience the typewriter is mounted on a light wheeling carriage, so that can be run anywhere in the hotel a moment's notice, without being a cumbersome or unwieldy burden.
