Kaxe St Tel. s Bridge—Was Not The body of Mrs. Lydia T. wife of A. Eugene Mitchell, who was drowned at the Central Vermont railroad bridge at Montville, Tuesday night, while she was trying to escape being run down by a train, was found Thursday morn- ing. 'The body was discovered about 100 feet out in the river from the point it entered the water. A man named Smith, whose ingentity result- ed in the finding of the corpse, had been one of the crowd of searchers that worked all of Wednesday. Mr. Smith came to the water front Thursday morning prepared to try a nmew way of searching. structed a box with a-* glass bottom which he took out with him ‘in a boat. By sitting in the boat, holding the box in the water and looking into it, Smith could scan the river bottom. After a methodical inspection_in this manner Smith saw the body. He call- ed other searchers and with the hel of grapplings made fast to the cleti- ing raised the remains to the surface. Dr. Morton E. Fox was notified at once and he called Ceoroner Franklin H. Brown from this city. The coroner and medical examiner made an exam- ination of the body reported his finding that death was He had con-’ and the coroner | Located by a Glass Bottomed Box, 100 Feet from the y the action of the water. No contusions were apparent, indicating that Mrs. Mitchell was not hit by the locomotive but feil from the stringpiece on which she took refuge as the train approach- ed the river. . The body was turned over to New London undertakers. That the body of Mrs, Eugene Mit- chell was not recovered from the Thames Wednesday was not due to lack of careful and energetic workers. As soon as daylight came Wednesday the officials and empioyes of the Bige- low-Harriman Construction company, with many others in the town, made an organized search for the body in the vicinity of the trestle bridge where the mishap occurred. The work was kept up all day and was renewed on Thursday morning, when seines were -used in the hope that the body might be found in that way. The huspand-: feels especially indebt- ed to Supt. Elmer E. Hunt of the Con- struction company, Foreman Joseph Knight, George Noyes and Thomas Davls for their kind assistance in his hour of irouble.

Mr. Davis said it was impossible to get a boat over on account of the ice and that the trestle was dangerous, but she would go. When part way over she seemed to have scarcely courage to brave the whole distance but kept on. When the headlight of the engine was seen Mr. Davis told her to lie down and hug the stringer closely, putting her suit case down Jbeside him. He noticed just as the train ap- proached that se had half raised her- self u and heard her calling to the dog. ome to mamma.” He yelled to her to keep down, then the train passed, and he was alone. Mr. Davis believes that the dog jumpea against the woman and threw her into the river an instant before the train came along. NEW C. V. BRIDGE AT NORTH COVENTRY Iron Work and Girders Are Arriving for Structure. The arrival of several carloads of iron bridge girders and bridge iron in Midway, over the New Haven road, has started the rumor that the iron for the construction of the new bridge over the Thames river is ar- riving. This is not so, the iron and bridge girders are being transported to North Coventry, on the Central Vermont railroad, where a large iron bridge is at present under. construc- tion. The from rders come et up, and large size, upon two and some on three flat cars. IL often happens that these girders on their arrival are so placed on cars that it is in the opp site position from that in which it is to be installed in the pridee: that is, the end of the girder which isin front on its arrival at Midway, may be the rear end when it is put in place, or vice versa. This fact is determined on the arrival of the cars. If the girders are not as they are wanted at their destination the cars containing the girders are sent on what is known as the Y track, between the Groton station and Midway, where they are turned around. ‘This Y, or triangie track,K as it is sometimes called, consists of the tracks connecting the track of the Norwich branch from New London, iron Phoenixville, and bridge Pa., some, which are of very are loaded the track from Midway to Norwich, and the main line between New Lont don and Midway, making a huge tri- angle just beyond the Groton station. The car is semnt over the main line track to a point bevond the junction of the malin track and the track from Midway to Norwich, from where it is switched upon the latter track and then down to New London, when it is in the position desired. It is then transferred from the New Haven road to the Central Vermont road and pro- ceeds to destination. LAST DAY OF GRACE. Autos Must Carry New Markers After Today. All Have you got your nmew auto mark- ers? If not, you had better look out, as the law requiring them went into force Thursday. and as the time has been extended from January 1 it will probably avold difficulty if you do not drive without the new marker required by the law passed by the last general assembly. The markers must be pro- cured from the secretary of state. The police throughout the state have been notifled to enforce the law. There are two classes, as follows: Private own- ers, red background with white fig- ures; manufacturers, dealers and liv- eryvmen, white background with red figures. FUNERALS. Philip A. Irons.

Edition 1,575,000 Copies you will find it clearly proved from the Post-Office Department’s own reports, that it is totally unnecessary to put any addi- tional tax on magazines and periodicals, and that a deficit of $17,500,000 is ot chargeable to the periodicals. % $ % * . % % % % % * “Forinstance, the Post- Office Department is charging $13,821,100 of the cost of rural free delivery against the second-class mail. Now, rural free delivery was established as a matter of Govern- ment policy, and we believe in it, but it is not fair to charge one dollar of this expense against the magazines. It is undoubtedly of benefit to the daily newspapers, bul the Department is trying to exempt them from an increase in rate. The magazines do not need or want once a day or twice a day deliveries on these rural routes ““Page 256, Postmaster’s Report, 1908, says: ‘Franking privileges weighed 4,555,684 pounds. They certainly cost the average price of all mail in all ways. And Governmental matter for Departments other than the Post-Office weighed 18,644,010 pounds.’ ““This report says that if the matter was charged at postal rates it would yield a revenue as follows: Secondclass . ... . . . . . - . § 581,560.98 Franked matter . . . . . . . . . 3,987,546.44 Government matter . . . . . . . 16,862,131.95 Total credit due Department . . . $20,881,239.38 *“ And that awful deficit disappears. ““It is impossible that a business of over $200,000,000 should not offer an opportunity for enormous savings. And a business like that of our great Postal Depart- ment, with endless ramifications, must offer endless opportunities. * L L s ¥ * ‘““No Postmaster-General entering his position to-day, with all the duties befalling a Cabinet official besides running his Department, no matter how great his intelligence or how fine his training, can grasp the details of this enormous business before he . disappears. There is ro time given to him to find these opportunities to save expense. The affairs of the Depart- ment must, for the most part, be administered by those under him."” Given a chance they would save in' business economies more than the alleged deficit of $17,500,000. We ask Congress to give us a Director of Posts—as recommended by the joint Congressional committee of 1907, an officer who shall be non-political, and whose term of service shall not be subject to political chianges, and who shall conduct the workings of the Post-Office Depart- ment with the ethiciency, economy and “business-like methods which distinguish high-class American business enterprise.
