Arthur M. Cottrell of ihe entertain- ment committee reported that prelim- inary steps had been taken towards the holding of the annual banquet next month. The committee was negotiat- ing for two speakers of prominence from abroad. Mr, Cottrell would like information as to the amount they would be justified in expending for the banquet. It was disclosed that at he first banquet a year ago, with the price at $1 a plate, there was a net profit of $79. The reception committee was author- ized to arrange for the coming ban- quet, not being limited to the amount to_be spent. It was understood that the banquet was to be held on the date of the mext regular meeting, February 1, whiech would be the annual meeting, ‘bur the date was left optional with the reception committee. President Perry called attention to the nuisance caused by the dumping of refuse in the vicinity of the Broad street bridge. Jarvis M. Pendleton suggeSted that Some plan be arranged whereby the refuse now thrown into the river be cared for by garbage collectors. Charles W. Willard said that the | tenants of the Potter-Loveland build- ing cared for .all their rubbish, and he believed that if the owners of the property were interviewed in the mat- ter, that the desired result would be obtained. The matter was referred to a com- mittee composed of Charles W. Wil- lard, James M. -Pendleton and Irvine O. Chester, the committee being ap- pointed by the president.

The board appointed Charles Perry and Edgar Cottrell as the committee. J. J. Welch reported that the elec- | tric advertising sign was ready, but not placed in position because of the severe weather. He said that the $200 appropriated will also provide for two other signs on the outskirts of the town. The actual cost of the electric signs is $142.50.

Bell and Wili- iam Davidson were appointed apprais- ers. Edward H. Blacker made petition' to be released from the bond of Grant Ames, for $1,000. as guardian in estates of Harold D, and Susie A. Coon. Mr. Ames said’he did not know why Mr. Blacker wanted to withdraw, but understood it was because he did not consider him (Ames) as a friend. Mr, Blacker simply said he desired release, but gave no special reason. He was on the bond.with Joseph H. Ma- comber. Mr. Ames was directed to give a new probate bond on or before the eighteenth day of January next. with surety satisfactory to the clerk. After the new bond is filed and ap- proved the sureties on the old bond will be relieved from any responsi- bility for any breach thereafter com- mitted. Robert L.

Mrs. Palmer died in the state hospital "at- Cranston, December 16, intestate, The personal estate will not exceed $270, and bonds were fixed at $400. Clarence E. Roche, John J. Dunn and James W. Burke were ap- pointed appraisers, The inventory of the estate of Mary K. Bell was received and ordered re- corded. The estate showed valuation of $2,737.75. - | The will of the late William H.

They finally found what they wanted, and in order to secure it without delay purchased the bale of cotton at the prevailing price, and then closely guarded it to the office of the Adams Express com- pany, where it was shipped by eypress south, the two detectives accompany- ing it ‘The shipment of the bulky stuff by express, added to the eagerness for Ipurchase tended to increase the mys- tery. The detectives would give no definite information of their action,” simply saying that they were detailed to trace that particular bale of cotton and to secure it at any price. They intimat- ed, however, that in the car that originally contained the bhale were found a bottle of whiskey and four cotton hooks, and that there were cir- cumstances that indicated murder, and that perhaps the body of the murdered man, or some part of it, or something that would aid in the unraveling of the murder, was believed to be contained in that bale of cotton. One of the de- | tectives said it was nothing unusual to | nide crime in a bale of cotton and cited | an_instance where the body of a black baby was found in a bale in a Fall River mill a few years ago. John Gavitt, a resident of Tower street, has shown evidences of an un- balanced mind of late and on Monday night there was strong development of mania for self-mutilation that would have resulted in suicide. He was in- clined to cut his hands, feet and head off, and became so demonstrative that the police were called and Mr, Gavitt spent the night in the police station, Tuesday morning he was taken be— fore Judge Oliver H. Williams of the ‘Third district court, who ordered ex- amination by two physicians to decide as to his sanity. Drs. E. A. Lewis and R. B. Smith made examination and Zave opinion that for his self-protec- tion and the protection of the public Mr. Gavitt was not a fit person to be at large. By direction of the court Mr. Gavitt was committed to the state hospital for the insane. It is belleved that affliction is tem- porary and that after a course of treatment Mr. Gavitt will return to his normal condition. Local Laconics.

" PICTURES OF STATION ‘aken Under Unfavorable Conditions— May Bring About Some Change. Will Danielson get a new railroad station or will Daniclson get only a | promise of something better in the | way of convenience while waiting for | trains than is provided at present? Who knows the answer—if there is one? There are some persons in Dan- | lelson, nevertheless, who know why a photographer, a local man, was re- cently employed to go to the station and make some interior and exterior views. The pictures were not made at the instance of the railroad company: they were made for a man who hopes to see an improvement about the rail- road station of his home town. These views were taken last week, when the temperature was doing some startling sub-normal stunts, and when the wait— ing patrons of the road were grouped around the “station master” stove in the men’s waiting roem side of the station. A sign at the entrance to the ladies’ waiting room reads “Next Door.” It was frigid in that room and the women waiting for trains were sharing by the men, the door. The local station is now. old | and about as poor a_one as there is on the line between New London and Worcester, the poorest in a place the size of Danielson. It undoubtedly an- | s the purpose for which it is used, ‘but it is a dreary looking place these cold winter days. It is not at all times as comfortable as could-be desired, and this fact, rather than its lack of artis- tic beauty, may have caused the pic- tures to be taken. Who knows but what they may prove all convincing as | to what is needed in the way of a station with the men who have the say in this matter? SIXTY-MILE GALE. Brief But Furious Wind Early Tuesday Morning. A wild gale that swept out of the northwest shortly after 10 o’clock Mon- day night, bitterly vicious In its attack {and furious in its intensity, added an- other chapter to the possibilities of this early mild-mannered winter when it drove the temperature down thirty de- grees in a little more than five hours {and then, with the mercury- shriveled into a tiny line below the zero mark. fiitted away as suddenly 'as it had come. It surely! was one of the most stunning stunts of the season. The wind is estimated to have blown at the rate of sixty miles an hour from mid- night until the edrly hours of Tuesday morning; windows were crushed in and | roofs loosened by the fury of the gale, The arctic wind whistled its way into every crevice own or unknown and as a consequence Tuesday was the' | worst of the worst cold days this win- ter. i About the Borough.

A man over 50 years of age and giv- inz his name as Robert Shaw was picked up in a semi-frozen condition near St, Joseph’s church in Dayville by Henry Demute early Tuesday morn- ing. - The man’s ears and feet had been mipped by the intense cold. He was assisted to Labelle’s store and Dr. Gecrxe Barnes was called to attend him. The man was not in a serious condition and later was turned over to Officer Joseph Gibney and taken to the police station in Danielson. Shaw, who claims to have worked in Wil- liamsville, was probably out during all of Monday night, it being believed that he came Jown from Putnam on the last car, getting off at Williamsville corner, near where he was t’md the next morning. FUTNAM City Clerksl-up pointment a Sur- prise—235 Arrests for 1909—Mayor McGarry’s Economical Administra- tion—Gold Watches for St. Mary’s Pew Collector: The greatest surprise incident to the coming into power of the new re- puullcan administration is the change in the appointeé to the city clerkship; it came like a thunderclap out of a clear sky. This change was the least looked for among the appointive offi- cers, as it was understood, according to statement made by a city official Tuesday, that' Leon T. Wilson, clerk during the last four years, had been endorsed without oppositlon in the three caucuses held by the republican members of the council since election, and that his name had been written on the slate agreed upon by the party members in power., Mr. Wilson said Tuesday that he had believed from the reports of the caucuses given to him that his re- appointment was assured., There was evidently some inside politics working, however. ck W. Seward, the new city was quoted Tuesday as saying that the office had come to him prac- tically without effort on his part. How the swing around from Mr. Wilson to Mr. Seward was brought about is still a matter known only to those on the inside. The move was not known to certain members of the council until within three hours of the time for the vote on the matter. The vote was 6 to 3. These members believed the caucus endorsement would stand. Mr. Wilson retired from office on Tuesdav night when Mr. Seward took the oath. The new clerk has had long experience in a similar office with the town and will be there aided in quickly familiarizing himself with the duties of his new appointment. Mr, Wilson has made a record of efficiency in the service of the city and retires with the good will of the members of the council. 235 ARRESTS Made by Police Dur Drunkenn The annual report of the police de- partment for 1910 records 235 arrests in Putnam. The causes of the arrest follow: Writing Black Hand letter 1, obtaining beard under false pretences 3, drunkenness 64, drunk and breach of the peace 25, larceny 27, adultery 3. drunk and camping 5, assault 8, fan- ure o attend school 6, receiving stolen goods 8 common drunkard 3, Sunday Ialor 1, breach of peace 15. selling li- quor to blacklisted men 13, vagrancy 3, Incorrigibles 4, unlawful sale of li- auor 2, peddline without license 2, ob- taining money under false pretence 1, minors loitering in saloons 2, keeping disorderly house 1, assault and robbery 2, indecent exposure 1, forgery 1, breach of pure food law 1, selling to- bacco to minors 4, injury to private | property 2. mon-sipport juvenile { court 6 breaking and entering 5. car- rying concealed weapons 5, running motor vehicle withont number 1.

Stolen property recovered and un- claimed include a cut of cloth and a | bicycle. HOPE OF IDENTIFICATION. | Dead Man Believed to Have Teamster at Dayville. Been While the man who was found dead Sunday morning beside the track south of this city on the Norwich branch remained not positively identified dur- ing Tuesday, it is believed that his name will be learned today (Wednes- day). Thomas McDermott of this city viewed the body Tuesday afternoon, and remembers him as a man who had told him about a month ago that | he had been employed as a teamster by Charles Aver of Dayville and also that he had been a mill worker. There is a theory to the effect that the dead man was killed by falling from and not by being struek with a train. This | theory gains credence because of the absence of mutilation or bruises on the body. there being only one cut on the head. ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION. Unexpended Balances Result of ex- Mayor McGarry's Good Management. | That the affairs of this city were ec- { onomically administered during Mayor J. J. McGarry’s term of office is dem- onstrated by the folldwing figures taken from his farewell message to the members of the common council. These figures show the unexpended balances of appropriations made for the various departments: Fire de- partment $514, police department $836.86, city court 8422 23, highway de- partment $502.16, general expense 364 05, School street improvement .16, street sprinkling $110.85, street leht! $968.40, city clerk €20.90, city treasurer $25, janitor $49.99, fuel and light $56.65, council chamber $61.20, Good Fellowship occasionally leads to overindul- gence in the good things of the table.

Speaking of the financial condition of the city, Mr. McGarry showed the city debt to be $49,090, This includes $40,000 of street improvement bonds, $18,000 note of the Norwich Savings soclety, $2,000 note of the Putnam Savings bank, a total of $60,000.
