Will Go Home for the Holiday. All of the workmen employed on the construction of the sewer through the of the bor- ough will suspend work today (Friday) in order that they may go to thelr homes to spend the holiday. A ma- jority of the men live in Hartford. The men will return on Monday to finish such parts of the contract work as has been commenced. It has been decided that the sewer is not to BYe finished til after spring opens. There is now nearly two feet of frost in the ground and because of this fact and the cold weather the progréss of the work is being hampered. The men will prob- ably complete the work they are to do this winter by Thursday night of next week. The sewer is still to be extend- ed through Water street. The work would have been finished this season but for the fact that sixteen carloads of tile pipe, was delayed three weeks in arriving here by being missent to Hartford, where it was finally located. CHRISTMAS MAIL Unusually Heavy in Both Directions— Clerks Overworked. An avalanche of mail matter buried the clerks in' the postoffice In a mass of work on Thursday, and it is ex- pected that conditions will not im- prove, but, rather, grow worse today. It was a very tired office force that went home after yesterday's labors. Improvised tables have been placed in the office just back of the boxes and such packages as cannot be placed in the boxes are be! stematically dis- tributed so that y may be quickly located and delivered when called for by the person to whom they are ad- dressed. The amount of strictly Christ- mas mail that is being received would indicate that prosperity is abounding in all parts of the country. The out- going mails are also very heavy, extra sacks being sent out on every train. OBITUARY. Mrs. Ezekiah Potter. Mrs. Ezekial Potter, formerly Aman- da Pratt, died Wednesday night. She is survived by her husband, a resident of this town, by a daughter, a son, Al- fred, who has been in the navy, and by a brother, who is a resident of Providence. Holiday Observance. Business will be generally suspended during Saturday, a majority of the stores having arranged to close the zreater part of the day. The mills will close tonight until Monday and the factories in town will also be idle. There will be many home-comers to- night and preparations for their enter- tainment are completed. Cigars for Firemen. The members of the various compa- nies of the fire department will smoke some good cigars tomorrow, when the regulars will be presented some choice Havanas with the compliments of Amos H., Armington, formerly warden of the borough. Chief A. P. Woodward distributed the packages ‘for each com- pany to the foremen on Thursday and they in turn will give them out tonight and tomorrow. Mr. Armington takes a lively interest in the fire department. Excursionists Northbound.

In the natural course of events inci- dent to his generosity in giving out little novelties, “Souvenir’ W. H. Tay- lor meets with some queer experiences, Thursday h¢ was riding on a car be- tween Putnam and Danielson. He had his holiday pocket full of souven- irs with him, and the passengers were all tendered a little remembrance, which all but one happily received. The exception, an elderly man, sitting qui- etly in his seat, did not refuse the gift of a pretty card inscribed Merry Christmas, but reached out both hands to receive it. He did this of necessity, for about his wrists were clamped a pair of handcuffs. The man was a prisoner on his way, in charge of an officer, to spend the holiQay at Brook- lyn jail. Local Interest in New Federal Liquor Law. Local liquor dealers are interested in a new federal law, enacted at the last session of congress, which be- comes effective with the beginning of the new year. The law, which will probably injure the mail order business of houses outside of Connecticut, pro- vides that “No railroad company or carrier shall ship liquor into prohibi- tion territory to other than the con- singnee. Violation of this section is ‘punishable by a fine of $5,000 and two years’s imprisonment, or both.” Each package must contain the name of the person to whom it is shipped, the kind of liquor which is contains, and the quantity, such markings to appear on the outside of the package. Otherwise it will be condemned. It will probably put an end to certain Irregular prac- tices and may Interfere with express companies' interstate shipments, GENEROUS PUPILS Provide for Salvation Army Dinner for A Poor. in | The students in the Israel Putnam M.

The brickwork of the addition to the Day-Kimball hospital is advancing steadily and is up to a height where the arches are to be placed by the second . One more story is to be built. It is expected that the brick- work will be competed in about three weeks. The new wing will greatly in- crease the facilities of the hospital to Edmond Pepin’s Clothes Caught from Bonfire. Edmond Pepin, 7, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Pepin, was probably fa- tally burned Thursday afternoon. He was one of a party of several boys skating on_a small pond near St. Mary’s cemetery. The boys lighted a fire to help in ping warm, and the flames spread into the long, dry grass. Fearing that the fire would get beyond control, the boys tried to stamp it out. ‘While doing this young Pepin’s cloth- ing caught fire, and before he could be given aid the flesh on his body was shriveled from head to foot. As the little fellow ran his ‘blazing clothing communicated the flames to the grass about him, increasing his danger. Dr. Omer Larue was called after the boy had been taken to the home of his grandfather, on Lamont street, and did exerything possible to relieve his suf- ferings. Thursday night the boy was not expected to live. NEWENT SCHOOL Closes Term—Pupils Attaining Highest Averages—Perfect Attendance for December.
