Carpenter Has Twentisth Annual Sleighride, Beating All Con- testants. 3 Ho for the sieighride! Rah for the rasp of runners! Edward S. Car- penter wins the heat: honors and first money—as usual.

He whizzed along the route that he has followed for twenty years, filling every expectation of his smiling friends; then he put the horse in the stable and came down to vote. INTEREST LIVELY. Something Doing About the Polls All Through the Voting Hours. All things considered, there was more latent interest in the election of Tuesday than was discernible from the surface indications at the close of the campaign.. Most of the voters really wanted to vote. While there wae no great crush at the polling- places in Killingly at any time Juring the day, there was a steady and reg- ular appearance of the town's elec- tors at the ballot boxes and when the total number of ballots cast was fig- ured there was shown to be an excess over what had been predicted would be cast. In the TFirst district (Danielson, South Killingly and vicinity, 164 votes, nearly a guarter of the total voting strength of this division of the town. were cast in the first hour and a half, Willlam H. Putnam, chairman of the republican town committee, was in charge of the work of getting out his party’s vote. He had an able corps of assistants and they kept the automo- bile battalion on the whiz after voters who lived at points distant from the polling place. The democrats had no organization. There were a few of the party workers about, to be sure, but they had no taxi service and de- pended for results on little heart to heart talks with the voters as they came along to cast their ballots. William A. Graves, democrat, was moderator of the election. The other « bailot officials _acting in the First district v were: Registrars, A. Putnam Wood- 5 ward, James Walsh; checkers, Will H.

J Evidence that is seemingly of su- preme value to the state In the case that it is building up against Sab- batino Damato, now in Brooklyn jail, charged with murder in the first de- gree in connection with the death of Angellus Remello, has come into pos- session of State Atforney Charles E. Searls in the form of a blood-stained razor, on. the handle of which is the name “Sabatino Damato.” The news of the startling find did not be- come known outside of offictal circles until Tuesday. but, as a matter#of fact the weapon that it is supposed was used to send Remello to his death was picked up Sunday morning on the lawn at the residence of John Gahan on Elm street. Mr. Gahan's young- est son made the find. 1 The spot where the razor was picked up is close by where the assassina- tion took place. It is the presumption of the- officers. investigating the case that the murderer hurled it from him as soon as the deed was committed. Since October 22, when' the attack on Remello was made, a search for the Tazor has been kept up in all sec- tions of the city where the murderer would have been likely to go before he was “captured, The place about where the crime was committed was looked over time and again; but evi- dently not thoroughly, as developments have shown. The Gahan hoy immediately reported his find to his father, who turned the razor over to Sergt. Patrick Hayes, he in turn passing it on to the state attorney. The razor is nearly new. Tt is of the' ordinary type, with a black han- dle, but what makes it such a valuable asset to the state is the fact that it bears the name of the man Charged with the |crime—the' man whom An- gellus Remello In_his dying declara- tion to Coroner Bill said was guilty of cutting him. ELECTION DAY INCIDENTS. Republicans Hustled—Democrats Apa- thetic—Puzzle of Australian Ballot. The vote in Putnam proved to be light in Tuesday’s election. The cause of the apathy is difficult to satisfac- torily indicate. Tt affected both the republican and democratic parties in greater or lesser degree. The republicans did the only work that was done’In getting out the vo- ters. They had well organized work- ers and a group of automobiles to ra- diate through the town under the di- rection of the members of the town commlttee. The democrats let their opportunties go by default. They did not have a single vehicle o a worker engaged in eleotion work, and, as.one of the party leaders put it. “If the re- publicans don’t win everything in this town, they can't blame us.” The voting went along . smoothly enough, but it was apparent before the noGn hours that many would not visit the polls. The off-year paralysis seemed to have seized its usual quota of victims. But of those who came there were many who were perplexed as to how to use the Australian ballot. Thanks to the foresight of the republican town committee, many of these found a ha- ven of satisfaction in the school of instruction opened’ in the Gorman building near fire headquarters. Here able workers straightened out the mental tangles of the worried voters and sent them down the hill to Ham- mond hall with a working knowledge of what they should do to vote as they wished to vote. This service was ap- preciated, too. The Officials. At the polling place, Judge L. H. Fuller presided as moderator. The of- fictals and workers on duty were: Leon T. Wilson, Thomas P. Ryan, reg- istrars; W. G. Authier, box tender Joseph’ Ryan, Simon Farley, checker: George Potvin, Nathan Gilmore, ballot booths; Adolphus Leavitt, M. E. Duf- fy. A. 'Brodeur, booth tenders.

Mr. LeRoy returned to Washington during the day There was lively interest in the elec- tion returns as given out at varlous places in the city Tuesday nisht, the crowds remaining until a late hour. High School Orchestra Mooted. There is a movement on foot to form an orchestra from among the students in Putnam high 'school. Many of the students have much musical ability and there is little doubt that the pro- posed orchestra would be a success. Unclaimed Letters.
