DANIELSON s Unsuccesssful - Attempt to Blow Up Postoffice—Eleven Blankets Stolen to Muffie the Explosion—Resignation of Primcipal Tripp. An unsuccessful attmpt to blow tlie safe in the postoffice was made about 8 o'clock Wednesday morning, proba- | bly by a band of cracksmen that were forced to leave the job unfinished. They were up against a goody new safe and a vigilant night watchman in the person f Christopher Kent, and because of these facts they got nothing for their trouble. The safe withstood the first charge ¢ of nitro-glycerine that it was subject- ed to, only the lower hinge on one side giving away, and before they coul make muech further progress the alarm given by Watchman Kent forced them to beat a flying retreat. The first warning that Mr. Kent had that safe-berakers were at work came "oflm form of the report of the ex- plosion from the first charge. He v in the vicinity of the Attawaugan hov at the time and walking around th corner of F. J.

When me'blmleu were stripped ' off there. was a Sticking out of the little hole that the burglars had uncovered in the safe was the end of a fuse that. pnly requlred u:e application of a match expiode a second charge that had been inserted and was ready to be fired when the men were driven away. The lower hinge on the righthand out- side door of the safe had been broken off, and the rivets along the mn:e side had given way, allowing the door to bulge. The dial, which was on this door,had been knocked off with a heavy striking hammer, the rod leading from the dial to the cembination pulled gut and the explosive inserted in the o) ing. Soup was used o tlg‘htly s space about where the fuse had inserted. The fuse left in place almws just how the job was done. The blankets covering the safe had | been stolen from the stables of the ST.z'.ndard Oil company and Young ’ coal yard, on Mechanic street, the sheds of Horace Kenne- yard on Furnace street. The ia | and the heavy striking two chisel o | hammer left were later identified as h ing been taken from the wheel- | wright shop of William Keach, on Cen- | ter street. A saw set was also left, th having been stolen from the en- gine room at Young Brothers’ yard. The burglars also left a fuse with an explosive cap and a large piece of soap. Nothing Missing. Nothing be{onzing to the government is missing. There was about $133 in money in the safe and about §400 worth of stamps. It would undoubtedly have taken considerable time for the bur- glars to have gained access to the in- ior of the safe, as the innes doors, hich are not even slightly injured, are harder to force than the exterior ones. All day Wednesday up to the time that an expert arrived here from Bos- ton the safe was only gingerly tamper- ed with, a great respect being display- ed gor the dangerous preparation that was T g within the battered door. State Policeman Robert Hurley came out from Hartford on a morning train to look over the job, but he had little to say relative to what he thought of the matter. The places mentioned as the source of supply of the blankets and tools were all visited by the cracksmen. They must have been at work about the bor- ough for several hours, but they seem- ed to have successfully evaded attract- ing attention. The only trace obtained | of them Wednesday came from the re- port of George Ferguson, who lives on | Reynolds street, and who is said to have heard a team rapidly driven up that street soon after the time that the burglars left the office. No Money Orders Issued. No money orders were issued at the postoffice Wednesday, everything nec- | essary to this transaction being tied up in the safe. Money orders present- | ed for payment, however, were accept- ed, as the greater part of the postoffice oney and stamps are kept in the bank 1d there was no inconvenience on this ds visited the office to inspect anner in which a safe-breaker res to rip off a door of steel i Jack the Tagger Busy. | The Jack the Tagger in the Christian Hill ction of Danielson continues to t.e heard from, and the women residing n of the town are not . out nights without an voung woman who was good look at the fellow ould be able to identify er saw him again, but does | not know his name.

SUPERIOR COURT. Special Session in Putnam on Febru- ary 12—Eleven Uncontested Divorce Suits. C. S. Andem, agent of the Gros- venordale mills, opened the eyes of many of the persons at the reception to Governor Weeks when he incident- ally quoted a few faots relative to the big industrial concern of which he is the active head. This mill company has a record of half a century of un- interrupted activity in this end of Windham county, during which the plant has never been shut down except on Sundays and holidays. From a dai- v output of a few hundred yards, the manufactured product of the two big mills has grown to one hundred thousand yards a day—"“every yard a vard wide and every yard a yard long,” as Mr. Andem puts it. Speaking of proposed public im- provements in Putnam, Mr. Andem said: “I understand that you propose to run curbing along your streets and to build a sewer system. When you set about this latter task build them big enough. A few dollars saved now may mean the necessity of spending thousands later on. Do not build your sewers to care for a rainfall like the scanty amount of the past two years; bulld them big enough to care for the greatest rainfall you ever heard of; The Windham county-superior court for short calendar and triaplist, comes in for special sesslon, February 12, at Putnam, at 11 o'clock, Hon.

RECLAIMING ORCHARDS. Topic of Practical Addre at State Pomological Society’s Meeting. THE BREAKFAST QuEsTION At the State Pomological society's ‘meeting in Hartford@ Wednesday George A. Drew, manager of Coayer’s farm in Greenwich, was the first speaker of the afternoon, his topic being Reclaim- ing the Old Apple Orchard for the Production of High Grade Fruit. Mr. Drew said the subject was an inter- esting one to him, as the sight of a neglected orchard is a sad one. Will the farmers continue to neglect the orchards and see fruit grown 2,000 or 3,000 miles away sold here at a good profit? There is no better soil for fruit growing than on the New Eng- land hills. The western grower has s many Insect pests to contend with and his sole advantage is in the matter of color. The western farmer simply realizes that he faces a business prop- osition and goes at it with all his en- erg: Is it possible, Mr. Drew asked, to re- clatm an old orchard here and make it TABLE TALK: “I really enjoy baking with Ceresota.
