Bodrd of Relief at Montville Have Mill Men Before Them. e board. of rellef of Montville will ho# its final public session at the office of the town clerk, Charles N. Chap- pell, on Tuesday. Feb. 21. The session held last Tuesday was a Mvely one, several owners of property appearing to say hard words about the work of | the assessors.. I nsome cases it is be- lieved the board will make reductions,. though in the main the action of tho board of assessers will be upheld. Charles D. White of the Uncasville Manufacturing company and of Pequot mill appeared and registered a kick against the valuation of his Pequot mill, property, which was raised this year by the assessors. Mr. White told the board ‘ot relief that he was ready at any time to hand over the Pequot mill property to any man who would give him a check for $35.080. He also told the board that he would carry the present assessment into the courts be- fore ha would pay the tax. ‘With the Thames River Specialties company represented bofore the board there appears to have been some mis- understanding at the time the property | it owns was acquired. Representatives of the company allege that they under- stood the property would be exempt from taxation for a period of five years from the time -the mill was completed and in operatian. The town's records fafl to show any corroboration of this. | Unofficially it is understood that the board of relief will consider favorably | some reduction in the assessment for Pequot mill, probably agreeing upon a valuation of $50,000.

WHITAKER SUES FOR $16,000 DAMAGES Brought Against Thames River Special Co. Papers have been served by Deputy | Sherift Herbert F. Draper on the Thames River Specialties company, a corporation doing business in Mont- ville, in a suit brought by and in fa- vor of Walter O. Whitaker. The pa- pers were in the nature of an at- tachment upon property owned by the company the attachment _covering elght parcels of, property situated in Uncasville near the big plant recently started by the concern. | The papers are returnable on the first Tuesday in March, and were is- sued by Allyn L. Brown, commission-~ er of the superior court. Walter O. Whitaker claims $16,000 damages and the costs of the suif. Dispossess papers were served a few days ago upon Mr. Whitaker by Constable Michael J. Hickey, and a hearing on_ this will be held in & short time before Justice of the Peace William Smiddy in Uncasville. While the writ of attachment against the Thames River Specialtics company makes no mention as tq the cause for_the action, it is understood that Mr. Whitaker, who was removed several weeks ago from the position of superintendent of the big paper mill in Uncasville, is suine for breach of contract and damages incurred, says a Montville correspondent. Mr. Whita- ker, who aecepted the position of su- perintendent in the = mill several months ago, resigned a good position and moved his family to Uncasville, taking up residence in a house owned by the company. The differences be- tween Mr. Whitaker and the Thames River Specialties company will be threshed out in court. Mr. Whitaker still occupies the house in Uncasville. COMMON PLEAS COURT. Two Matters Before Judge Waller at New London. William Délehanty of New London appeared in the court of common pleas at New London, Saturday, asking Jjudgment for $75 against Thomas Coo- ey of New London. Delehanty sues for this amount, which he claims he loaned Cooney. Cooney admits _borrowing money from Delehanty, but says he never borrowed any such amount and owes Delehanty no such sum. also that the money was borrowed, if at all, when Cooney was a minor, as Delehanty first presentad the bill to Judge Alfred Coit of the probate court at the time Cooney received his fa- ther's estate, John D. Mulcahey, who was Cooney's guardian and administrator of the Cooney-estate, was a witness, as was Delehanty and Cooney. Cooney said he became intimate with Dele- hanty through a mutual friend, a rail- road employe. He had borrowed $22 once from Delehanty and on one oc- casion Delchanty gave him 50 cents for tobacco. Judge Waller took the papers. Another suit heard was that of Op- penheim, Stern & Hacker vs. Max Lahn. , 'The plaintiff company is & wholesale concern, which claims Lahn, who i5 a Westerly merchant, owes it $150 for a bill of goods.

OBITUARY. Eugene Waliner. The death ¢f Eugene Wallner, the widely known' musician, occurred at 515 o'clock Saturday affernoon at the Backus hospital. The cause of Mr ‘Wallner's death was double pneumo- nia, after an illness of but a few days. Mr. Wallner upon his return from Willimantic last Monday complained of chills, Tuesday he had a cold, but was not uncomfortable, though he betrayed sympatoms of pneumonia, | and on Thursiay complications devel" oped_which compelled hig removal to the Backus hospital, where he re- mained until his death Saturday aft- ernoon. The death of Mr. Wallner removes one of Norwich's well known citizens and one of the most prominent, if not the greatest, musical artist the city has ever had. Eugene Wallner was born on De- comber 16, 1848, In Geneva, Switz- erland, the son of Louis and Jennie Durand Wallner. He showed very early his natural bent for music and received .his musical training at the Conservatory of Geneva, Mr. Wallner Teceived many prizes in recognition of his rare abllity on the viollu and the fact that he was a medallist was not geperally known, though he had Teceived many such awards. Mr. Wall- ner served his time in the army, which is compulsory in Switzerland, but saw no active service. * He also was first violin in the opera house in Geneva before coming to America. AU the age of thirty years he left his home for the United States and remained three years, coming thence to Norwich, where he spent the rest of his life, esteemed and admired by a wide circle of friends. Chief among Mr. Wallner's musical efforts in this city was the organiza- tion of the Orpheus club, for which he was mainly responsible, The club was organized twenty-five years ago and existed Nfteen years, giying con- orts twice vearly, ~Mr. Wallner was the club’s leader throughout this en- tire time. ¥ ive. years ago Mr, Wall- ner took up the leadership of the Academy Musical club of the Norwich Free Academy and the high standard of excellence which that musieai or- ganization maintained during his lead- ership was due to the painstaking and experienced direction of the master. Tor_the past three vears Mr. Wallner led the musical club of the Windham high school of Willimantic with great success from the very start, and his joss to. both these associations. ~Mr. Wallner did not centine himself en- tirely to these clubs, but taught music to a lon~ list of ambitious pupils, many of whom belong in the surround. ing towgs. It was also chiefly through Mr. Iner's planning, advice and infiuence that Norwich has been ahle to hear so many of the world-famed musical artists in Slater hall during the _past few year: s He displayed the deepest interest in the musical organizations with which he was connected, taking pride In their Aecomplishments, and s persistency and demand for exactness had their effect in the tiaining of his pupils. Hé was always dllied with the musfeal interests, standing for the best himself —a master with the ylolin. It was a touching tribute to the memory of Mr.. Wallnef, whose now_silent hand had rups the chimes of Purk Congre- gational church for so many’ years, that no chimes were rung on Sunday. The tolling of the big bell called the congregation together. .~ Mr. Wallner was a man of quiet disposition, moy- ing in a circle of music lovers, but was a n:-m udh‘:“l:‘e‘d who was ng to help a but 'was happiest .in-his & delighted her hearers in speaking of | j 8elf, and we can be faithful, which is went to Cambridge, Mass., where he passing away will be an irreparable ‘but this he does not believe, for by so i { | The Crusaders’ Glory Song and God | it sisted | 25 years. ded vy cpiatont et e e A o a Har nusband ifred U.

Milwaukee, Wis., Feb. 19.~There are at present 14,613,761 Roman Catholice in the United States, according to the 1911 Wiltzlers offiolal Catholic dire tory, which is now In press. The figure iven does not Include the Catholics n the Philippines, Porto Rico or Ha- wailan Islands, for if these were added the number of Romen Catholics under the Stars and Stripes would be nearly 28,000,000. Although the United States religious census of 1906 credits the Ro- man Catholic faith with only 12,079,142, the Wiltzius figure is not exaggerated, as the census bureau deducted 15 per cent. of itz total count for children, counting only communicants. ‘According to the directery, there are in the United States 17,084 Catholic priests and 13,461 churches. Of & number, 9,017 have resident pastor Catholics also control 4,972 parochiai schools, with an attendance of 1,270 131. In addition to this there are 225 colleges for boys and 696 academies for girls and 82 ecclesiastical semin ries.
