The carelessness of hunters in starting fires in the woods is often a source of much annoyance and dam- age to the farmers and is one of the reasons why so many farmers have their woods posted and forbid hunt- ing on their premises, Rev. F.-O. Cunningham will speak to women only in the Armory this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Frank A. Roath will preside.—ady. Thursday night's rain encouraged the farmers, who feared the advent of winter in the present low condi- tion of ponds and brooks, as the matter of finding enough drinking wa- ter for livestock would be a serious problem, The expense of lighting in mills-and factories is a considerable item, these short days. Today, the 22d, the day's length has decreased an even four and one-half hours, so that only about ten and three-quarter hours of day- light can be counted on. News from the Maine hunters is to the effect that the season so far has been unfavorable, an exceedingly warm week having been followed by heavy rains. Up to Tuesday night, the game wardens had checked but 195 deer and moose compared with 355 deer and eight mobse in the cor- responding week in 1908.

The celebration committee appropri- ated $300 for the Daughters’ loan ex- hibit, of which sum $20 was returned to the committee. WORK OF FIENDS. Result of Autopsy on Body of Drowned Infant. There is absolutely no clue that with investigation might lead to the apprehension of the person or persons responsible for the case of infanticide which developed with the finding of the body of a baby on the Groton shore Wednesday morning, and it is probable that the murderers will nev— er be known. The finding of the body revealed the fact that the life of the child had been smothered by fire, for the wrappings about the body show- ed scorching and it is the opinion of Medical Examiner Hewes of Gro- ton that the covering of the child had been ignited under unknown circum- stances, prior to the throwing of the child Into the river, bringing to light the flendish jurposes the murderers adopted to rid themselves of thelr un- welcome offspring. Whether the body was thrown into the Thames river or whether it was washed in from the Sound is problem- atical but the former supposition is likely. It is rare that a body enters the ‘harbor from the Sound because of tide conditions. ,That the body was leposited in the river is the opinion of the authorities. y Medical Examiner Hewes performed an autopsy on the decomposed body, resulting in the determination that the child was a female and was alive when it came into the world. Preparing to Build Dam. The Bigelow Construction company has made a eommencement on pre- liminary work for the building of the dam across the outlet of Oxoboxo brook in Montville, where the big res- ervoir will be formed. Men were put to work Tuesday clearing away brush on the sides of the Central Vermont embankment and digging out material in readiness for a start on the con- crete work of which the western wall of the reservoir is to be formed. The construction company has al- ready acquired property on the side of the railroad furthest from the res- ervoir and will utilize the material in making the empankment. New London Shooting Case.

Norwich Branch Held Fall Meeting at Christ Church—Supper Followed by Reports, Business and Election of Officers. At Christ Episcopal church on Thursday evening the fall meeting of the Norwich branch of the Connecti- cut diocesean Sunday school commis- sion was held with about 45 in attend- ance, including representatives from Chrisf Trinity and St. Andrew’s churches of this city, Grace church of Yantie, St. James’ of Poquetannck and the church in Pomfret.

As delegates to the meeting of the state unjon Walter BE. Gilbert was named and Walter B. Crooks as alternate. The latter part of the evening con- sisted of an interesting discussion led by JRev. George B. Gilbert of Middle- town, who wasepresent as a guest. Some of the difficulties and needs of the Sunday schools were stated by several of the rectors present, as the need of trained teachers, of buildings specially adapted for Sunday schools, and of unlimited funds for the pur- chase of the numerous accessories sug- gested for modern Sunday school work. Rev. Mr. Gilbert explained the system of grading a school into flve grades based on age pericds as follows: Font roll 3 to 8 primary 8 to 12, inter- mediate 12 to 16, senior 16 to 18, adult 18 to 25. He also advanced numerous helpful teaching hints and assisted the teachers by the experience he gained in Sunday school work. MANY FINGERLING TROUT DISTRIBUTED FROM HERE. There Were 2,600 Rec Thursday and Released in N Brooks, W. H. Hazelhurst Distrib- uting Most of Them. _The 1156 a. m. southbound Central Vermont train on Thursday borught 2,600 fingerling trout to this city, S. A. Griswold of Thompsonville being the distributor. ~Inasmuch as those who desired them in Lebanon did not meet the train, three cans of the small fish consigned to that place were giv- en to the Norwich men. The entire number was received by William H. Hazelhurst and Horatio Bigelow, the latter taking three cans to the Deep River brook, while the remainder were distributed by Mr. Hazelhurst in Wil- low brook, Leffingwell brook and Stony brook. The fish were applied for by Cos- tello Lippitt, W. W. Ives, W. H. Ha- zelhurst, George. Engler, Horatio Bigelow, M. L. Bergstresser, George A. Davis, N. D. Sevin and W. C. Gilman, The fish come in large ten-gallon cans, there being 200 of the small fish in a can, water being provided to keep them alive, and this is kept in motion as much as possible during, the trans- portation. The fish received this year and released are much better than those secured last year from the state hatchery, some of those in the cans Thursday being four, five and seven Inches long and by spring many of them_will -be large enough to catch. Mr. Hazelhurst is an enthusiastic fisherman and his interest has result- ed in the stocking of a number of brooks hereabouts.

For eleven years he was treasurer a secretary of that company and for about the same period he was a di- rector, and with enlarging responsi- bilities actively participated in its growing business, until in 1899 that company joined the Dunnell Manu- facturing company and the Reid & Barry Co. in forming the United States Finishing company under the laws of Neiv Jersey: and Mr. Smith became a director and the treasurer of the new and enlarged corporation.

Charles Delaney and Charles Whitman Up for Office. The New York Herald, of Wednes- day, had the following of interest to their many Norwich friends: “S6_Hannon says that I am an out of towner, hey? said Charles De- lgney, candidate for Alderman on the Tammany hall ticket in the Twenty- fourth aldermanic district, “I've made my home for the last twenty years be- tween 105th and 106th streets. I was born in_Norwich, Conn., in 1870, and came to New York city as a granite cutter. Charles Whitman, “candidate for district attorney, on the republi- can-fusion ticket, who is on the same ticket with Hannon, s also a native of Norwich. We both come from the Kerry.” Mr. Delaney is the alderman at the present time in the district and says he does not fear the outcome of elec- tion day. He was president of the Miami club, the Tammany hall head- quarters for the Twenty-fourth as- sembly district, for several years. “Billy Hannon is sore because he did not get the nomination. He's got a lot to learn yet. Tammany has al- ways been a good friend of his, and now he has deserted to the enemy. He isn't old enough to hold down a job in the City hall. -He would not know how to treat the people and look after their complaints. Anyway, the democratic party is the only one for the people to have in power. Measures that are a benefit to the public when introduced by the demo- cratic aldermen are immediately voted against by the republicans. - Other times republicans have refused to vote when questions of importance have arisen.” Mr. Delaney lives at No. 113 East 105th street, and is a bachelor. He devotes all ‘his time to politics. MOTION- FOR RECOUNT 'Will Be Heard by Judge Wheeler on Saturday.

GENERAL SECRETARY MERRILL RESIGNS FROM Y. M. C. A. Acceptance of the Resignation by the Board of Directors—May Leave As- sociation Work. General Secretary Frank H. Merrill of the Young Men's Christian associa- tion, who has established a record as the ‘longest to hold that office at the local association, presented his resig- nation, which was accepted at an ad- journed meeting of the board of di- rectors at the assoclation rooms on Wednesday evening. The resignation is to take effect Nov. 1st, and Mr. Merrfll has in contemplation other plans which if accepted may take him out of association work altogether. The retiring .general secretary has been connected with the local associa- tion about eight years, the first year and a half as physical director, and then succeeding Orman E. Ryther as general secretary. His term of ser- vice has been marked by some big ac- complishments by the association and its auxillary, among which was tho big Trip Around the World conducted by the association and a pink tea con- ducted by the Woman's auxiliary when Governor and Mrs. ChamBerlain were in the receiving line. A notable im- provement in the bullding accomplish- ed under him was the complete over- hauling of the baths, and of late years he has made a great success of tho boys' summer camps on Groton Long Point. It will be with regret that the officers and members part with his efficient services.
