Chapman. In the death of Beinjamin K. Chap- ‘with his les A. Yer- man, which occurred at 8.45 Saturday | loses | morning, the town of East Lyme one of its most worthy citizens, the state loses one of its most wart republicans, and the nation loses one of the bravest men who ever fought in_defense of the Union. \ r. Chapman had been a resident of East Lyme for so many years that only a few remember he was born else- where. Mr, Chapman was in his 78th year, being born in Voluntown, May 12, 1843. @ had been in failing health for several years, but until within a few days ago had occasionally been able to go from his house to the pos office and spend a short time with old friends. He is survived by his wife. His earlier days were spent at his trade of painter in Nerwioch and Taft- ville, where he again settled after the clvil war, in which he took an active part. He had been a resident of East Lyme over 20 years, whers he built himself, a comfortable home, passing his latter years quietly, doing a little ‘'work now and then as he felt able. Politieally Mr. Chapman was =a staunch adherent of the ublican party in state and national politics,and in town matters he never d from this except on one occasion when a split in the local ranks led to the formation of a citizens' party. While active in all political work, the only offices he ever held were those of reg- istrar of voters (which he held for many years) and that of tax collector. ‘While a strong partisan politically, he enjoyed the cloge personal friendship of the leaders on both sides, all knowing him a man of unquestioned integrity and honesty. Mr. Chapman’s record throughout the civil war was, llke his personal record, clean and honorable. He was a member of Sedgwick post, G, A. R., of Norwich. He enlisted in Co. F, Tirst Connecticut Volunteer Heavy Ar- tillery, as a private on May 31, 1861, frem Sterling. - He was promoted to ranfl of corporal Sept, 9, 1863, and went out with the rank of sergeant. He re-enlisted Dec. 10, 1863, was again promoted Dec. 4, 1864, and was mus- tered out, after taking part in all the heavy engagements of the war, on Sept. 25, 1865. . William R. Foley. ‘Willlam R. Foley of No. 33 Lafay- ette street, Hartford, died of pneumo- nia early Saturday morning at the Hartford hofpital. He was 84 years old and one of the best known resi- dents of Hartford, says the Hartford Timeés. He was employed by Cheney Brothers at the mill on Morgan street more than forty years. Several years ago he was retired on a pension by the firm. He leaves a son, Willlam R.

In addition to keeping the firemen informed it also keeps the buildings and hallways free from rubbish, which is liable to accumulate and furnish the best material for the kindling of a fire, ; The firemen not only get used to the | plan of the buildings, but also with the seuttles and = trapdoors, regarding which it is an excellent thing to know in case of fires.

Timepiece Valued for Its Asseciations Taken Year Ago Last Christmas— Recently Recovered. ; C! with the theft of a watch belonging to Mrs. Edwin Frederick Briggs, colorad, is under rest. waiting for a hearing of his case. It is claimed that the lady’s -watch, which is valuable because of its asso- ciations, was taken a year ago last Christmas, at which time the accused was at work for Mrs. Fay. It was im- possible to get any trace of it until recently, when Chief Murphy located it and secured possession of it. He ‘was then able to get information which led to the arrest ef the accused, who denies that he stole it, although at one time he had possession of it, having secured it fro a woodchopper, ac- eording to his statement. It is fortunate that the possession of the timepiece was again secured after having been in other hands for such a long period. Mrs, Fay valuas it high- ly because it was one given to her by her husband before their marriage. AT THE HAILE CLUB. Activities Decrease During the Lenten Season. For the afternoon soclal hour at the Halle club on Sunday the following served tea for the goodly number of <club members yho were in the rooms: Misses Linea Rydholm, Isabelle Mur- phy, Gladys La Favour, Vera Ward, Mary Keenan and Mrs. Annie Bordeau. The Lenten season makes some differ- ence in the club activities, although the ordinary instruction classes are carried on as usual, but the dancing classes have been discontinued for Lent, because so few attend during this geason. The catalogue of a week, however, shows how busy a place the club rooms are and in what useful lnes its activities are employed. Ordinarily the cooking class meets Monday evenings, but is postppned this week, to be resumed next Monday. The Mandolin club meets on Monday even- ings. - On Tuesday evenings there is the dressmaking class, while upstairs in the hall are the basketball classes, in which there 18 a lively interest. The study-travel class for the girls comes on Wednesday evenings, and rehearsals Yor the operetta are being held on Monday and Thursday evenings. This week Thursday the regular monthly social evening is to be held. One spe- cial class for the Lenten season is carried on each Tuesday afternoon in travel-study for associate and non- club members. This week its topic is to be The Alhambra, the Mediterra- nea'n, the History and Mythology of Ttaly. old Y, EPWORTH LEAGUE OFFICERS. ‘Methedfst Church Organization Makes Selection at Business Mesting. ~_At the last business meeting of the Epworth league of Trinity Methodist Episcopal church the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: President, Howard N.

" The cup was presented at the home of Mrs. Margaret Miller, to which' Dr. Witter and Mrs. Witter were summoned by telephone. Mrs. John C.

The chief is also installing in the fire alarm boxes about the city, sixty in number, smaller white cards for giving the reécord of the use of the box, when pulled for an alarm, noon. test, night test, when painted, when tested and ofled, when out of circuit and when wound. The cards are good for twelve months and are placed in a tin holder which is attached to the inside of the inner door. Over it is placed a mica shield for protection, but ‘which leaves it' visible. There is a place for a pencil at the bottom. When the year is completed the cards are filed away and it is possible to tell when the box was used, tested or re- paired, in quick time. There is also place for a record of the strikers, gongs and tappers of the department. This 18 an innovation in fire departments and it will no doubt be taken up by many others. The cards are marked with the number of the box. If an alarm is sent in, when the chief re- places the broken glass in the door he | records on the slip the date, and does the same when the box ig tested, or when the noon or night test is sent in from the box. In case anything is wrong with the box it is then readily ascertained. when it was last used or found tp be in working order. Both these ideas are important in the routine of the department and fur- nish information which is .often re- quired at a moment's notice. SATURDAY CLASS RECEPTION HELD AT MILLER'S.

The _complete gramme was as follow: March— Minuet, Yankee Boy, Novellette, Barn Dance, Joys of Winter, Le Reve, Sara- toga Lanciers, French Barn Dance, Polka, Two Step, Waltz, Paul Jones, Two Step, Waltz. One distinctive number that was greatly admired was The Joys of Win- ter, a Hungarian movement full of pretty posing. The Yankee Boy, which is danced to a medley of patriotic airs, was especially popular, and Novelette was a two-step number with charming posing effects. One of the novel move- ments that made a pretty varfation in the two-step and waltz was the grape- ;{nfii a favorite in New York and aris, e i s Al FINAL SERMON NEXT SUNDAY. Rev.
