VECCHIO'S CASE Continued to May 29th by Judge Fuller—Bond Reduced te $50. The liguor case against Munzio Vec- chio was continued by Judge L. Fuller of the city court on Friday morning to May 29. It had been shown at the hearing by testimony of- fered by Capt. John Murray and Ofl- 4 cer Banjamin Chaffee thag when they raifed the place last Sunday afternoon several men were there, and they had apparently been drinking. Vecchio was charged with ‘actual sale to persons unknown to tha prosecuting attorney. Captain Murray testified that he saw a man_ who staggered coming away from Vecchio’s place; that the boss in charge of the men on the sewer con- struction work had complained to him that his men went to Veechid’s so fre- quently to drink that it interfered with the progress-of the work, and also of the fact that he and Officer Chaffee had seized 75 pint bottles of beer ai the house on Lee street when they made the raid. On the witness stand Vecchio, who was defended by Attorney C. L. Torrey. said that ten of his boarders had pool- ed forty cents zach to buy the two kegs of beer which Philias Cloutier had testified he had sold him last Satar- v; that it was their preperty, not his, and that they'wanted it to have a zocd time. In view of a!l the evidence. Judg2 Fuller continued the case, reducing Vzcchio’s cash bond from $100 to $50, waraing him to keen quiet about his place and tellimg him that if there were no further compiaints that the case would be ultimately dismissed. Lambert on Probati Albert J. Lambert, 18, who also was before the court on a charge of petty theft, was placed in charge of the pro- bation officer and his case continued until the first Monday in June- Lam- bert is to be given work on a farm near the city, the final disposition of his case depending on hns c¢onduct dur- ing the probationar Wells’ Case Nollod The case against Fred Wall harged with assaulting Hector Fountain, was nolled.

This week we had the pleasure of entertaining a fam that came all the way from a far western state to take up a farm in Connecticut. They have come to locate in our state not because the west is too full of farm- ers, but because the westerner is at a disadvantage for the want of home markets. The home markets of New England, especially southern New England, are the best in the world, and western farmers are beginning to realize it. This man was a - sheep Tancher away up-on the Continental Divide.. From him we learned a whole lot about isolated farms, long hauls to market over poor roads and across the prairies, stinct of buyers, the exacting rules of transportation companies, etc. He is a man who did some thinking and he was forced to the conclusion that the place for a farmer is relatively near good markets. Resuli: He ‘eame east—came to Connecticut—and he is here to stay. Is not this a hopeful sign? Does it not show thkit the glowing enticements ‘western of ‘boosters have another side—the side that is not discoverable uniil you gs’ there and find it out for wyourseif. the farmers of New England boouted their country the way the western newspapers, barkers for land agencies, etc., boost their sections, it would not be long before New Eng- land would be as full of farm homes as Iowa and Illinois.

Bacon's wharf, which was afterwas known as the Mitchell.and the Hamil- ton Powers whart, ‘and since removed to. make way for the present steam- boat wharf of the New' Bngund- Navi- gation company. ' This "hotel ‘wasthe terminal for the Colchester stage route —the four horses’ drawing the old stage coach being ;@riven by Palmer Peck, Rheun Tingley and later George Childs. In this old- hotel -Morris w. Bacon received - his first .lessons in business as clerk. When a very: young man -he' became clerk .on the steam- ‘boat line between New. London. and New York, serving on the Connecticut and later on the steamer Cify ‘of Bos- ton of the Norwich' line. His. Jove for steamboat life -and: realizing - flxt( there was money in the busi became manager of fhe steamers Ce- cile, Cygnet and Ospre: wlth ute between New London, Point, the Pequot and Osprey bc:a.ch “This business was carried en each summier until the beach was abandoned as a public_resori, having-been pumhased for private purposes. Mr. Bacon erected: the marble bloek in State 'street in 1868 "and inyested largely in other real estate. At that time he resided in Golden sireet. He purchased the Marvin property at the corner of State and Meridian streets for a residence, and subsequently sold that property to ¥rank A, Munsey, who erected the fine eight-story build- ! ing that gives New' London a decid: edly citified appearance and now util- | ized as one of the best-equipped hotel properties in New- Engiand. “Mr: Ba- ron owned the building in Green ‘Street formerly occupied in part by the Eve- ning Telegram and the Morning Tele- graph, the bullding being erected and | occupied in thirty -days, the building record in.New Jl.ondon— a three-story frame ' building ~with basement, erected and occupietl with- in thirty days after the contract was awarded. That was thirty-eiglit years ago and the building is completely oecupied and in good order today, for Mr. Bacon was noted for keeping. his property in first class shape. Many | years ago, while he was :steamboa ing, he became interested.in. '.lmj elry business with John Gordon, with store at.the corner of State and streets, under the firm name of don & Bacon. Ilé never engaged in any other mercantile business. Mr. Bacon leaves a widow, his sec- ond wife, and one daughter, Tizzie, now Mrs. Henry Whittemore, of:Pa adena, Cal. ' He has the reputation of being wealthy and it is Intigrated that his will provides for a.lasting memo- rial of public benefit. Some vears ago Mr. Bacon informed a friend that it was intention to found a Bacon school for the beys of New ILondon, put it is said that after giving this atter consideration it wvas abandon- | ed, as it would be liable ‘to conflict with the present Bulkeley school. establishing Much of the committse time of the Connecticut legislature has been cen- sumed in matters pe-taining. to New London, giving the impression that the city within its present limitations is complete in every detail in some re- spects and in others only the finishing touches are lacking; hence the needs | of expansion, new- park system, new sidewalks, new municipal or .rather state wharves, new methods of con- ducting city business ‘and almost a new everything and new bonds with which to meet the expenditures.. All of which is according to Hoyle so far it goes, but in all this ':ronzsshe- interest of the government is increas-. ed in the building b7 reason of the valuable equipment therein, and ob- Jjection may come from . tl;nt source 'to the ‘armory being used for civil func- tfons’ and public. entertainments. When that comes to pass, the city of New London will be without a place adequate for any gathering be- ‘ond .the ordinary and will be hand- icapped every time effort is made for an event of. any magnitude.” -So the | citizens must get together and invest | in a building large enough to be sub- stituted for the armory on special | occasions. This* building has been used at intervals for various purposes and has been equal to all demands to date. It was there where the grand reception was given to Admiral Walk- er and the officers of the White squad- ron of years ago. - It ‘was there where Moody and Sankey préached and sang to thousands; it was there where the people of:New London gave a recep- tion to the late Rev. Thomas P. Joynt on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his pastorate of Mary’'s Star of the Sea church; it was there where the big republican and the big. democratic rallies were held; where fairs of the firemen and patri- otic societies were given and where balls and concerts of magnitude were attended by the townspeople and many others. - In fact it is the .only place in town that can house an event of any magnitude. To lose the use of the armory means much to the peo- ple of New London and there are some people in New London who believe that .a special act allowing the use of the armory under certain condi- tions ‘would be a popular move on the part of the New London delegation at the present session of the legisla- ture. Apropos to the New London armory matter is the action of the governor of Rhode Island In regard to the use of. the state armory in Providence for |an automobile show. The legislature voted in favor of granting the per- mission, but when the matter came to the governor for his signature, he exercised his power of veto, which is something almost new for a governor of Rhode Island. But Providence, is not New London. In the Rhode Is- Jand city there are ten companies in the armory, including a battery equip- ment of the value of $30,000, and other general government property of great value, and were the state to permit the armory to be used for other than military service the government might be inclined te withdraw the property. Then again there are but two com- panies in the New London armory and using the drill hall not over twice a week, and_therefore could make up for any lost drill time by reason of occupancy of the armory. Not so in Providence, as the armory is used almost every night in the week for military - drill. don on Thursday of the present week that = shows the kaleidoscopical changes of the human mind, wherein a fellow who evidently intended to steal a horse and buggy quickly changed his mind and took a bicycle instead. Representing himself as a collector for the Singer Sewing Ma- chine company he calied at Harvey’s { stable and wanted a horse to be used in connection with making. collections in the country for the company. Mr. Harvey was suspizious, called the lo- cal office of the sewing machine com- pany for information. He then re- turned to the stable and informed the fellow that_his horses were all en- gaged to attend the funeral of E. Z. Mark. The fellow took the hint and left the stable. without further ceremony. Did he hurry away to some distant place to escape possible arrest for impersonation of a sewing machine agent and attempting to get posses- sion of a horse and carriage under | false pretense? No; he did not. He left the stable and in less than a minute thereafter he was in the bicycle shop, negotiating for the rent- al of a bicycle to go into the country on a collection trip for the sewing machine company. He fared better than he did at the stable, for there he was believed. to be just what he represented himseif to be. He got the bicycle and rode away, perhaps never to return, voluntar: GUILFORD LINE 1 { cut Company to Center of New Ha- ven—In Operation by Aug. 1st.

There are streets and streets well within the city lim- its that are barely passable and the wonder is that the city'is not saddled with claims for damages by reason-of the condition. In.most of-these: streets there is not evem ' curbing, to ‘say nothing of granelithic. pavement..or even soft coal ashes. In one of these streets ‘not - many weelzs ago the actual depth of the mud was eighteen inches and the mud on the walks on the sides. of- the street was over an inch 'in depth.’ And | this is a street that.is used by a great many people going to and-from the trolley cars.
