By Judge Platt of the circult court an order has been passed in the case of the Gilbert Transportation com- pany of Mystic authorizing the receiv- er, Frank Butterworth,, to issue 10,000 additional receiver’s certificates, 40,000 having already been lssued. ‘The resignation of Captain Mark L. Gi'bert as president and general man- ager of the Gilbert Transportation Co. of Mystic and his withdraway from connection with the company, does not mean the captain’s retirement from the coastwise trade. Captain Gilbert on Tuesday re-entered the transportation business, laying the fvundation for a new company in the purchase of a coasting schooner. The scheoner which Captain Gil- bert has acquired is the J. V. Wel- lington. It is a three master of 600 tons. gument. The opening argument was made by Attorney H. A. Hull, who Mr. Main then addressed the jury in an interesting manner and held th2 attention of the jury throughout the two hours which he occupied in set- ting forth his clalms. He observed well the rules and punctuated his ad- dress with gesticulations. ~He re- ferred to the way his cases had been conducted and to the agreements which he had made and the fact that he had not been given credit for cer- tain payments. Part of his argument he had written, while there were doc- uments which he used to refresh his memory and prompt him in his ad- dress. He occupied the remainder of the morning session.

Alfred Comstock, the 16 year old son of Mr. and Mre. L. A, Comstock of Quaker Hill, who disappeared Sun- day night, was found Tuesday morning on the old Stebbins farm, on the Col- chester road, about four miles frem his home. The boy was taken to his home, but was unable to give a coher- ent account of his disappearance. He had apparently had mothing to eat since Sunday and is very weak. He says that he slept in a barn on the farm for two nights. L. A. Comstock, the boy's father, is satisfled that the lad was drugged by somebody who was wunder the im- pression that he had money in his possession, which they hoped to steal. The lad and his brother have been in the habit of taking home the collec- tions from the Baptist church Sun- day nights and turning the money over the next morning to Miss Nellie Starr. the treasurer, who has been ill for a considecable time. The boys separated at the forks of the road, and that was the last seen of Alfried until Tuesday morning.” It happened that he did not have the col- Jection money, it being carried by his brother. Sherifts Brown, Tubbs and Woods searched the country thoroughly on Monday without resuits and the larg- er children of the Uncasville school, under the direction of Mr. Comstock, scoured the country as far west as the Colchester road in their efforts to find the boy. Mr. Comstock states that he believes that the boy was given drugged candy and that h2 wandered away while un- der the effect of the drug. The lad is weak on account of lack of food, but does not seem .to have recelved any serious injury and will probably be all right again in a short time, as the result of the care that is being given him.

The name of the addressee, the postoffice and the state or territory must be given. If the ad- dressee resides in a city having free delivery, the house number and street, if known, should be given. To insure return In case of non-delivery, because of misdirection, insufficient payment of postage and other causes, the sender’s name and address should be written or printed in the upper left hand corner of the envelope or wrapper, preceded by the word “From.” Postage stamps should be placed on the upper right hand corner of the address side of all mail matter, care being taken that they are securely af- fixed. Inclosures. ‘With a package of merchandise of fourth class matter, prepaid at the rate for that class, the sender may enclose any matter of the third class (printed matter, etc.). A single card bearing the written name of the sender and such Inscrip- tion as a “Merry Christmas,” “Happy New Year,” “With Best Wishes," etc., may be enclosed without affecting its classification Registration of Packages.
