SALEM Willimantic to Colchester. and Nor- wich. In a very shont time this bulletin board distinction became noticable and occasioned muct unfavorable comment. It was called to the attention of Mayor Willey and he made official wisit to the editor ® the HEvening Star as stated in this correspondence last Saturflay. This was an actual' hap- even it the critic . has no knowledge of it, and even If a report of the event was never put Into copy for the compositor and for thw knowledge of the general public, in cluding the critic who evidently re- slres to pose as authority on happen ings in New London during the crucl war. But, what's the use? When the gmbulance came along he was picked up carefully and taken to the hospital where with skilled treat- ment his life was saved, Had he per- mitted the label to remain he would have undoubtedly died befoye the sur- geons made the next visit of insvec- tion and give attention to those who had been seriously wounded and with slight _prospect of recovery. While the wound was o the most serious nature managed to survive for forty-six years after he was practically -hum- bered among the dead on the field of battle, Some old fogy, who evidently ant dates this writer, and who had no par- ticular love for the late Hiram Willey, an _ex-mayor of New London, who re- cently died in Hadlyme, writes a very interesting letter to a local newspaper in corréction of an item in this co respondence last Saturdal, which re- ferred to disciplining the cditor of the New London Evening Star for his sup- posedly copperheadism. He states that the mayor who turned the trick was Mayor Harris and not' Mayor Willey and that this correspondent confused the two mayors in this particular in- cident. Such a mistake, after so many years, would seem reasonable. but when he says that Mavor Willey took no part in any such movement against the newspaper editor, the eritic mistaken, even if he is @ native New Londoner and was active on the scene of action at the outbreak of the civil war. He is correct when he says that the war was well under way when Mr. Willey became mayor, for it was then when the Incident related in this co respondence last week occurred, fo the writer was then an apprentice | The Star office, and heard -the .con- versation between the mayor and the editor, So it is evident that the first union’ talk of Mayor Harrls was not lasting enough to suit Mayor Willey. In the later incident there. was no waving of a flag out of the window to assure the populace of loyalty to the Mayor Mahan has received notice from the trustees of the estate of Se- bastian D.’ Lawrence that the 350,000 bequeathed for a new almshouse is now available and awaits formal ac- ceptance by the official representatives of the city. The present almshouse has been enlarged by the addition of two wings since its original construc- tion and thereby more than doubled in size. It is in a commanding loca- tion and when constructed was con- sidered well out in the country and with' land sufficient for farming pur- | poses. But this has been changed and now there is practically no farm con- nected with the institution and the in- mates able and willine to do some work are enforced to idleness. The Memorial hospital grounds ad- join those of the almshouse and there is no land there now that is availa- ble for farming purposes, therefore the present city premises are not well adapted for the new almshouse and city farm. “.The present almshouse is a large, two story brick structure which Mr. Law- rence did not consider adequate to the public needs and the comfort for the unfortunate poor and he has made provision for the improvement of the present facilities for caring for the town poor. It has been suggested that some sightly place be selected for the new building with ample land for farming’ purposes, but just what to do with the present building is still prob- lematical. This is a matter that can be figured out to a.successful result by Mayor Mahan and his associates in the court of common council, and what- =y ever they recommend will undoubted- Mr. and Mrs. Orrin W.

MARRIED FORTY YEARS. ued call for next Monday the common Mayor Mahan ha: special ofty meeting morning to act upon council recommendations for appro priations for paving Bank strest and rebuilding the sidewalks, and also for the repenishment of the miscellaneous fund and the rescinding of the votes approppiating for the police phgnal system and the completion ef the re paving of Washington street. - While there is general approval of the recom mendation of the paving of Bank stree and perhaps no opposition to adding o the miscellaneous fur there is likelihood of contest ovor making appropription for new sld walks, as was done at the annual cit meeting, on the ground that the amended ordinance in that partioula: was unnecessary and impracticable as it could not be impartially enforoed withou) greatly fncreasingf fhe tax rate. It is set up that it half of the proposed new sidewalks is paid for by the public monies, that immediatels there will be remand for 1iké treatment from property owners in all sections of the city, and the result will be par tially or increased taxation, as people ‘will not be content to have the public money used in sidewalk build- ing in particular sections of the city while other sections are neglected. It is expected that there will be another fight over the proposition to recall the appropriations for the polies signal system and for the paving of Washington street. These matters were thoroughly considered at the annuel city meeting and approved by the citizens and there are many who are of opinion that it is the plain duty of the court of common council to ex- pepd the money appropristed for specific purposes as directed by the tizens in city meeting assembled even if such action is antagonistic to the plans or ideas of some members of the couneil whose influence has weight in that august and intelligent body, whose members are supposed 10 be the servants and not the dictators of the people. In order to make himself pl critic sent a second communic: the local newspaper by way of correc tion of -his first epistle, wherein he gives the exact words used by Mayor Harris to the spokesman of th: in- furiated crowd of citizens and ven the exact reply made, but he not recall the.spokesman, although he is of opinion that he was Capt.
