LEGISLATURE EXPECTED TO ADJOURN THIS WEEK Norwich Representatives Have Done Much Work Tmhis Session—Repre- sentative Tibbits Mentioned for Sen- ator. 7 Tuesday will probably see the final adjournment of the 1909 session of the general assembly, it being the longest session on record although the 1907 session did_not adjourn until August first. The death of Governor Lilley de- layed the work some and may have accounted for tha, lasting of the ses- sion a_month longer than two years ago.

Mr. Tibbits has been a member of the committee on banks which is an important one and he was also a member on the legislative expenses committee this session. Representative Charles P. Bushnell has been a very regular attendant at the session and has been on the com- mittee of roads, rivers anad bridges which has had a big amount of work and matters of great importance to deal with. Mr. Bushnell has been the capable secretary of that committee which has involved much work and required much time. He has always workeg hard for the interests of the town. Senator W. I. Allyn has had much experience at the legislature, having been at the house two sessions before being elected senator from the 19th district. He has been a hard and con- scigntious worker for the district and his! gocial disposition has made him manay friends in Hartford. Both the representatives have made many friends this year, Mr. Tibbits having had the benefit of two terms in the house and it is being predicted by many in the district that he will be promoted to the office of semator in 1911 for which he has capably fitted himself by his long service.

Mr. Wellman and his party succeeded in making a landing without injury to any mem- Dber, and returned to this point on board the steamer Fram, which-alsy towed in the disabled balloon. 25 Miles an Hour at Start. After a long preparation and waiting for favorable waather, Mr. Wellman dectded early this morning to make the start. Everything had besn in readi- ness for some time, and only the final details remained to be carried out. It was 10 o'clock in- the morning when the great airship was brought out of its shed and the explorers took their places in the car. When the an- chors were cast loose the airship a: cended beautifully, the engines were ser in motfon and eversthing seemed to work to perfection. The big air craft was manoeuvred for some time ani answered the helm perfectiv. Then its head was turned northward and it set out at a speed of twenty-five miles an hour. Lost Provisions and Stores. Suddenly, aftter having coversd some thirty-two miles, and when everything seemed to be going splendidly, the leather guide rope, to which was at- tached a thousand pounds of provisions and stores, broke away. The accident | occurred just as the airship was near- ing the pack ice of North Spitzhergen. Reached Great Height Above Clouds.

The alrship proceeded slowly south- ward to the edge of the pack ice, where the steamer Fram was anchored. Ar- ter much difficulty a tow rope was ta en aboard the Fram, which started im- mediately to tow the airship to Spit: bergen. ‘r'ne Srain was so grest, ever, that it threatened to tear the to ' pieces, and Mr. Wellman' final decided to bring the airship down to the water. This was effected without misiap, and the car rested on the sea until all the m8mbers of the crew, the dogs and the scieptific_instruments | could be transferred board the Fram. A fresh start was then made, and the America was towed back to the land- ing stage. with a short distance of the point where the start was made. No Further Attempt This Y Just as the airship reached the land- ing Stage and everything looked favor- able for its rescue without serious damage, a sudden gust of wind caught | the big Inflated bag broadside and snatched’ it away from ifs tow ‘ines. It was carried careening over rough ice hummocks for some distance and then exploded. , All the scattered parts of the airshin' were subsequently re- covered, but the damage was =0 great as to preclude any further attempt to fiy_over the pole this year. Mr. Wellman will return to Norway next week. He says that the airship was not seriously damaged and can he reraired, but that another attempt th year is impossible.

The line on which ths holdup took place runs from the main line in Southington through the woods and to Lake Componnce, aud the scene of the holdup was at the foot of a steep hill near the bridge that crosses what is known as Eight Mile river. The crew of the car was speeding It to make up for lost time, and had gone part of the way down a steep hill when Motorman Adams saw a short distance ahead of the car a pile of logs on the tracks. He threw off the power and put on the airbrakes, at the same time calling to Conductor Price and Mrs. Helen Bul- lis and her daughter, Miss Mabel Bul- lis, the only passengers on the car, telling them to look out for a collision The car struck the logs, but the speed of the car had been checked sufficient- ly to prevent its veing thrown from the tracks. Two Masked Men Appeared. When the car stopped Adams and Price stepped on to the running hoard on the south side of the car, prepara- tory to removing the logs, which had beeén secured from a nearby sawmill. As they were stepping down to the ground two masked men appeared from the rear of the car and ordered them to throw up their hands. As the masked men appeared, Mrs, Bullis and her daughter got off on the other side of the car and ran back to the home of Philip Elsner. Money and Watches Demanded.

Description of Highwaymen, The highwaymen as described by Motorman Adams were of a Stocky build, short, with their stockin drawn over thelr trousers legs and, without hats. From their conversa- tion while holding them up, Adams is of the opinion that they were local men and famillar with the neighbor- hood, and evidently amateurs. The au- thorities were notified, and a search is being made, with but poor chances of success, as it was dark at the time of the robbery, and the men had plen= ty of time to make good their escape before the officers were notified. This Was the Second Attempt, Today's successful attempt was the # at has been made to hold up the car, On Sunday last about 9 o'clock Motorman Adams discovered logs on the track as the same place, but was running slowly at the time and stopped the car in time to prevent a collision.
