There was a repetition of it Monday afternoon about 415 o'clock when Wil- liam Moore of No. 278 West Thames street, a papermaker, with a different object in view, jumped headfirst off the bridge into ‘the Shetucket river, keeping afloat until nearly to the freight house and from that point fo the center of the harbor he swam un- til rescued by Frank Petrofsky, who rowed out to him and took him into the boat just as he was giving up. Many saw him in his helpless position, but could do nothing, and had not Mr. S%Lro:-:ym‘con&l‘toh his aid, hwhlch he a/ kS e would have go; to_the hottom. i Moore had been at the almshouse, where on Saturday he caused quite a little trouble while under the influgnce of liquor, and he was taken to the police station. He remained there un- til Monday morning, when he was pre- sented before Deputy Judge Barnes in the city court. On his plea that he could get work in Montville 1t giv- en a chance, he was placed.on proba= tion until the first of February and al- lowed to go. He did not go to Montville and dur- ing the day had been drinking more. During the afternoon he was at the se- lectmen’s office. He was told to come back later, as those in the office at the time were busy, and he went away. He must have gone almost di- rectly to Laurel Hill bridge for the purpose of ending his life. He was seen to walk on the bridze from twen- ty to thirty feet and jump headfirst into the river. Charles E. Brady was just driving on the bridge from Talman street when he heard someone holler and he saw Moore's feet as he was dis- appearing downward. It is believed he deep into the water. The indications are that he was slightly stunned by the cold plunge and the force with which he struck the water, so that, by the current until he had nearly reached the freight house, when he seemed to recover himsslf and began to swim. From that point he was carrled by the current and by his swimming out into the harbor, cover- HEARING ON SCHOOL. Residents of Harbor District at New London Remonstrate to Board of Edueation. There was a hearing before the school board of She Harbor school at New London on Monday evening upon the condition and maragement of the school. It was claimed that the front doors are locked during school hours, only one fire drill has been held since the opening of the fall term. the fresh air ducis_are boarded up, the rooms are draughty from open windows, chil- dren are forced to use the basement doors, children are not allowed in the building before school, the interior is unclean and unsanitary, the percent- age of tonsllitis and adenoids in the school is larger than in any other in | town, the vacuum cleuner is rarely used, there is no sanitary drinking arrangement, and that the textbooks in many cases are unfit.

Dr. Black stated that if he is after the janitor there is a reason for it. PORTRAIT OF CALVIN L. HARWOOD To Be Hung in Common Chamber With Other ex-Mayors. The picture of the latz C. L. Har- wood, mayor of Norwich from 1892 to 1898, which is to be a gift to the city from his family for the council cham- ber’s galiery of the city’s mayors, has been shown since Saturday in the win- | dow of George A. Davis’ store on Broadway. It is the work of a Nor- wich artist who has an enviable repu- tation for work in this line which this new portrait further enhances, accord- ing to the opinion of many who have viewed the picture, which is a copy from a photograph. Among close busi- ness and personal friends who have criticised the work there has bean general commendation for the work of the artist in giving the picture the pervonality of the original with great faithfulness.

The presentation of Eugene Walter's powerful play of American life, enti- tled Paid in Full, was given a capital presentation by Pol's Players at Po- II's Monday afternoon and evening. The four acts wore well staged, the settings being excellent and adding much to the success of the production: As Joe Brooks, Robert LeSueur play- ed the part of the yourlg man who took the earnings of the company by which. he was employed and spent them in his own behalf and then sought to have iis wife atone for his wrongdoings. His work was, s usual, of a high order, and at various points throughout the play the:audience ac- corded the players much applause. Gertrude Perry, as the wife of Joe Brooks, playved the role in a most ef- fective manner. Particularly fine was she in the scene at Captain Williams” quarters, while equally strong was her work in the closing scene when she laid before her husband his faults and “fajlure. 8. F. Cairns as Captain Will- jams was fitted for the role and his work was excellent throughout, while Laurence Duubar as Jimsy was lke- wise clever us o friend of the family. J. A. Robb as the servant made a good impression, while Emma Hayner as Mre. Harris, and Sue Fisher as Beth Hargls, ~wen much favor. Between the acts entertaining mov- ing pigtures are shown. There has been a recent change in the leadership of the orchestra, H. M. LaMotte, vio- linist, being the leader now, with Fred Geer at the piano. { Latest Capital Punishment. uidu‘r‘z:eertlfll:xQ d:n":ul;lerake."

Then came a hard and dangerous task, the hauling into the boat of an almost helpless yet thoroughly frightened man. This was accomplished after haif filled with water. Mr. Petrofsky had ' exerted himself to his limit in rowing out to the center of the har- bor, belieying that it was his boy who had gotten overboard, which, to- gether with his efforts to get the man into the boat at the great risk of up- setfing, had him about exhausted. He ‘was, however, able to row ashore, but could give little help in getting Moore from the boat to the shore. Michael Murphy took Moore from the boat and carried him on his back to his saloon in West Thames street, wher: his wet clothes were replaced by a blanket, and he was given a hard rub- bing with dry towels by direction of Dr. Higgins, who had been called. Moore was unconscious when taken rubbing he soon revived. The ambulance was called and he was taken to the almshouse by Police. man Henderson.

The w®elect- men decided to have him taken to the almshouse, and Constable Daly took him there shortly after. It is probable that he will be committed to the state hospital. A short time ago Mr. Gladue at- tempted to commit suicide by taking carbolic acid, but his daughter saw him before he had goiten down enough to cause his death. It is understood that he has not given up the idea of ending his life and made another at- tmept. He told the constable that he is" sorry that his daughter saw him when he had taken the carbolic acid, as he wished he was dead. FUNERALS. John D, and Benjamin H. Stanton.

The merchante along the line of the Groton and Stonington trolley road | are to have Increased facilities for -hlpplns to and from New York if the reported plans of the road to erect a dock in Groton are carried out, save the New London Telegraph. These plans call for the stopping theére of | tho steamers of the Norwich and New York Propeller Co. every day, and -the running of two boats instead of | one. | The plan has been under contempla- | tion for some time, and its ultimat adoption, it i# said, depends entirely upon the support given it by the mer- | nte and manufacturers of Groton| Constabie Gustave | and Stonington.” The project ix being | 365, { advanced by the trolley company and | has received t ! he support of the Nor- h and New York propeller line, but| © clectric road will have to show} | husiness for the freight stewmers three | ! times as large as they are now getting. | | At present there is a working plan | between the G. and 8. trolley express; and the propeller line of freight terms. | | All the freight to and from New York | which each company can secure is handlea on a 60 per cent. basis, bui there are drawbacks to the methods that have to be employed. This frelght is landed at the dock of the. Propeller line at the foot of Federal sireet, and has to be tric { across double loards are carried each day and hegidas being an Inconvenience, the expense of trucking amounts to a large item. In view of this extra expense the G. A 8. trolley line has advanced the| n of bullding a dock on the Groton side of the river, the dock to be erect- ed on the Susan Morgan property. alongside of Captain Chipman's fish market. The plan meats with the approval of the Norwich and ew | ork line, which has expressed its willingness to load and unioad freight there if the dock is bullt. H The freight hoat is carrving from 15 to 25 tons of freight each day for the trolley express, and if this can he increased to 50 or 75 toms a day the project will undoubtedly go through. | For some time past the G. and 2.1 officlals have been making endeavors | to secure the promises of freight for this line from the merchants and man- ufacturers, and it is generally under- stood that their efforts have been so far successful that it is said the Gro- | ton dock is about to be built. In the winter the Propeller line rurs but one boat: in summer two. Should the deal go through two boats will be | used all 5le year around. | Incidents in Society Miss Antoinette Van Cleef of Jer- sey City, N. J., is the guest of Nor- wich Town friends.
