Read, treas- urer of the commission, were approved and jaudited. The statement showed the accumulations to be: State house fund, $567,664; state highway construc- tion, $53,209; Providence armory, $14,- 746; Metropolitan park loan, §15,322; and penal and reformatory loan, $4,056. The annual meeting of Washington county Pomona -grange, Patrons of Husbandry, wgs held Wednesday with Quidnessett grange, every grange be- ing represented, except that at West- erly. The intellectual feature of the session was an addre€s upon Educa- tion in the Grange, by President Ed- wards of the Rhode Igland state col- lege, upon which there was geenral discussion, gree was conferred upon a class of five. Officers for the ensuing year were elected, Charles F. Bentley being chos- en master, here was a fire alarm sent in at 1245 Thu morning for a blaze on the roof of the Old White school- house, in Dickens park, caused by a spark from a passing locomotive. The P. S. Barber hose company responded and the fire was extinguished before any material damage was done. The house is occupied by Frederick Bloeser and family, It is many years since the Old ‘White schoolhouse has been utilized for edugational purposes. It was some years ago one of the three Bchool- others being on Liberty street and Pendleton hill. ‘When the Palmer street school house was built, the Old ‘White school house was abandoned, and subsequently the Palmer street structure was discontinued upon the completion of the handsome and mod- ern Paweatuck high school building. Although the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co. claims own- ership of the land upon which Louis Cella’'s nmew building stands, and he has received verbal notice to remove his building from the premises, Mr. Cella is of the opinion that he the rightful owner of the property, for he holds a warranty deed of the same, which accompanied the purchase from John H. Ryan, administrator of the es- tate of the alleged former owner. Therefore, he proposes to defend what he believes to be his legal rights. On the other hand, it is alleged that his building covers the foundation to the bridge abutments at the corner of ‘West Broad and Mechanic streets. The main object of the railroad workmen entering the premises, Wednesday, so it is said, was to locate the founda- tion, and this was done before they were forcibly ejected. Westerly quarrymen are in enforced idleness by reason of the cold, which makes the quarrying of granite im- prach&whli‘ With frost In the stone, there is difficulty in quarrying to the desired siz and a consequent waste of stock and time is the natural and unprofitable result. When the granite is “thawed out,” the quarry work will be resumed, It has been suggested that the pub- lic library trustees place a tablet on | thé exterior of the building. giving comprehensive information relative to its inception, construction and its | poses for the good of the public. These matters are familiar to the present -generation of dwellers in Westerly, but provision should be made for the information of the future and for the visitors of the present time as well as those of the future In the hallway of the second floor IWhere fo Buy in Westarlyl ROBERT DRYSDALE & CO.

How the New Member of the Supreme Court Got Out of a Union Prison. Some months ago a company of rep- regentative men living in the midwest were the guests of Judge Henry S. Severns, an associate circuit jndge of | the Sixth judicial district, with Judge | Lurton. The gathering took place at Grand Rapids, Mich., and in the course of the evening Judge Severns said to | his friends that he had a little anec- | dote to tell them which might prove’of | interest to them. He said: “A youth | of 17 years of age, whose home was in Tennessee, enlisted in the confeder- | ate army and took -art in several of the important battles that were waged in eastern Tennessee and northern Georgia. In one of these battles he was captured and sent .to the federal prison at Sandusky,'O. His mother was distracted. In ways known only to herself she was able to penetrate | to the union lines, and at last. found herself in Washington, determined to have a personal interview with Presi- | dent Lincoln. “What could she do there, a friend- less and obscure woman, whose fam- ily. had espoused the confederate cause? But she found the way to meet President Lincoln and to have an interview with him. All that she asked of him was that he restore her boy to her, permit her to go to the federal prison‘ with an. order for his release. And Lincoln gave her that order. She went to Sandusky, pre- sented the order to the commandant, and speedily her boy was with her, free and on taclt parole. 1 “And there he now sits” sald Judge Severns, pointing toward Judge Lurton. + Not one of those present knew of this incident excepting Judge Lurton and Judge Severns, But the anecdote as then told by Judge Sev- erns was recalled after it became known that President Taft was con- sidering the appointment of Judge Lurton as a member of the supreme court bench. And now that this ap- pointment has been made, it will be | possible for Judge Lurton to say to| his _associates upon that bench: “I was a prisoner of war in the fed- eral prison; I was released by the personal order of President Lincoln, and upon the plea of my mother, and by reason of that release I was able to take yp the study of law and pro- cure admission to the bar, aln Ishould not now be here.” Lawyers who have k.nown of Judge Lurton’s career upon the bench, and who have made a careful study of some of his opinions, m of the mind that the quality of intellect is broad, cmnmebeuhe, rat! | dication of his declining popularity | if the margin by which he won was ! him.—New Haven Register.
