While there are ssveral cases of scar- let fever in Westerly, and all of them well under quarantine, it is not be- lieved there is any danger of epidemic. There is a scare, however, that is ap- parent in the failing off of attendance in the lower grades of the public school. The health officer, with the aid of physicians, have taken every precaution to prevent a spread of the disease. The local cases are all of the lightest rm, barely beyond the rletina stage. William Potter Stillman, who resid- ed with his daughter, Mrs. William Holberton, on Chace’s Kill, on the road leading from the Hopkinton cemetery to Niantic, was found dead !n a field| near his home Friday morning. Stillman was nearly 73 years of and since the death of his wife, vears ago, has at times shown signs wmental weakness, and during these p rieds Mrs. Holberten kept close watch of him. Thursday he seemed to be in 20od spirits and left the house about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, starting in the direction of his sister’s house, not far distant. As he did not return at the acustomed hour, Mrs. Holberton | meade inquiry and learned that he had | not been at his sister’s home. Search fvas made for Mr. Stillman, the searching party with lanterns ps troling the vicinity, but without result. Friday morning Mrs. Holberton, know- ing that her father occasfonally visited the Old Spring, in the melghborhood, started to search in that direction. Be fore reaching the spring she found her father lying face downward, his face submerged in water in a small swamp hole. Dr. J.

Milner of Valatie. N. Y., will be of interest to Jewett City people, Mr. and Mrs. Milner hav- ing lived here for ten years. Mr. Mil- ner retired in his usual health on Nov 5th, and his wife was awakened early in the morning by his peculiar breath- ing. All efforts to arouse him were unavailing and he was dead shortly after. He had a weak heart, but such sudden development was wholly un- looked for. Mr. Milner was born in County Cork, Ireland, in 1847, and emi- grated with his parents to Boston, when he was five years old. Shortly after the beginning of the Civil war he entered the service, being mustered gue, Conn,, on Oc F, Tenth reg Ooennecticut Volunteer infantry. He served under Cieneral Burnside in several important engagements and was wounded Dec. 14, 1862, near King- ston, N. C., being discharged for dis- ability March 1863.
