Monday afternoon about 4 o'clock there was some excitement for a few moments at the union station just af- ter the leaving time of the Central Vermont flyer. Mrs. Joseph Riquier of 46 Center street had been at the station with some male friends to see her husband off on a trip to Canada. The temporary parting unnerved her to some extent and in fact so confused her that she does mnot now know whather she lost her pocketbook con- taining $60 or more or whether she handed the roll to her husband for safe keeping. She discovered her loss soon after the train puiled out of the station. She bacame greatly excited and a crowd congregated. She tried to explain her trouble and finally a gen- tleman who was with her spoke to Officer C. Victor Enander and told of the lady's misfortune in English—ali previous conversation had been car- ried on in French. The officer sug- gested that the lady go to the telegraph office and try to locate her husband by wire and ascertain if he had th= nocketbook that was the cause of her flood of tears and attendant excite- ment. She consulted Station Maszer The Surest Road To Wealth Is By Work And Saving, and if you don't believe it do a little figuring and learn. Did you ever stop to think how money accumulates. Take one cent the first day, two the second and four the third and double the amount cach day for thirty-one days and you will have the stu- pendous amount of $10,735,418.24. Suppose you do a little figuring with the amount you could easily deposit each week and see how much you would have in five or ten years. The Willimantic Savings Institute (Established 1842.) H. C.

The telegraph office was visited and a mes- sage forwarded along the route of the Central Vermont to intercept Mr. Ri- quier. Up to a late hour no word had been received from him. Prevented Accident. Monday morning the : presence of mind of Guy S. Richmond averted an accident. A horse owned by Aaron Peck became frightened when a large sunshade fell from the carriage upon its back. Young Richmond jumped tu the horse’s head and pulled him down before he had an opportunity to run away. The people in the carriage were very much relieved and were profuse in their thanks. OBITUARY. Miss Louise A. Loiselle. Miss Louise Anna Loiselle, aged 38, died at 8.30 o'clock Saturday evening at St. Joseph's hospital, where she had been undergoing treatment for several weeks. Death was due to blood poisoning. - She had resided here’ for 32 years, most of that time being engagad in the dressmaking and millinery busi- ness. For a number of years past her establishment has been located in the Hooper block. She was born at St Mariz de Manneire, Canada. There survive a father, Peter Loiselle, resid- ing in Rer native town, and these sis- ters and brothers: Mrs. Solomon Bel- anger of this’city, Mrs. A. Mongeau and Mrs, Joseph Desmorias, Central Falis, R. L. Mrs. Henry Thouon, Ste Angele, Canada, Miss EMza Loiseile, Richlien, Canada, Mrs. Isaac.

When Michael Laramie, who occu- pies theé baseément in the Holmes block at 719 Main .street, entered - his place of business on an errand about eight o'clock Sunday morning he imagined for a moment that he was starting out upon a trouting trip without his rub- ber boots. The entire floor was flood- ed to the depth of an inch or more with water, Wirt and filth from the street, the 'result of carelessness on th= part of someone in the employ of the street department. It is the custom for the street cleaning department to G:releu Basement | lush the Main street pavement early Sunday morning, and the man went a little farther, for they inadvertently aimed the hose toward Laramie’s place and the strong stream carried every thing in its course, washing street rafuse down the stairway and in through the screened window that was open and in upon Mr Laramie's shoe repairing machinery and everything that was lying upon the floor. The floor was not entirely dry at - 4.30 ock Monday afternoon. Mr. Lara- mie said Monday afternoon that he did not contemplate instituting any suit for damages, but hoped that the foolishness of someone would not re- cur and/that Sunday's episode wouldl be the first and last occasion when he would be flooded in a similar manner. The damage to Mr. Laramie was not so great, although several machines were wet up pretty badly and re- quired considerable attention to put them in shape. The _inconveniencs caused Mr. Laramie. however, was great, and he was hampered all dav Monday in carrying on his regular business. The windows of Young's lunch were badly bespattered with mud and filth also and they had just under- gone their weekly cleaning. Farewell Party Ends in Arrest. John Bolad, who resides at 25 Chap- man street, was arrested Monday fore- noon by Officer C. Victor Enander at 10.35 o'clock and lodged in the police station upon the charge of drunk. Bolad with some friends started in Saturday evening to give Joseph Drosz. Bolad’s brother-in-law, a far. well party in honor of his departure for Poland. Nearly everyone enjoyed themselves, but Bolad, apparently overjoyad at the approaching leave- taking, imbibed a bit too freely and when he with some friends went to the union station to see Drosz off on the train could not navigate without a compass and consequently got entan- gled in the meshes of the police seine. Mrs. Bolad was trving to secure bail for her husband late Monday afternoon. but was unsuccessful up to a lat hour. Bolad will be arraigned in pol court this (Tuesday) morning. WEDDING. Marcil—Chouinard. . Munday morning at 8 o'clock at St. Mary’s church Alphee Marcil and Miss Marie Chouinard were united in mar- riage by Rev. J. J. Papilion.

Bennett, High School Alum- nus, to Return as Principal—Mon- day’s $1,600 Fire at Wauregan—Hal- pin Wins Championship — Outing Notes. Robert Kershaw Bennett of Dayville, who nine years ago last June received his diploma as a graduate of Killingly high school. was elected principal of the institution at a special meeting of the school committee of the town held Monday afternoon to fill the vacancy created by the recent resignation of Hal R. Eaton, who goes to_Attleboro. Mr. Bennett was selected from near- Iy forty candidates for the place as eminantly fitted to successfully direct the work that he will be called upon to do, .decision in his favor, being based on a record of scholarship and teaching experience that has won for him unqualified commendation and ion of positive confidence in his to do notable things in the educational field, He was born in Dayville 27 years ago and is the youngest man ever elected as principal of Killingly high school. Graduated from the school at the head of the class of 1902 he taugh~ for three years at East Killingly, later going to Brown university, graduating with the dezree of A.B. In his junior year at Brown he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, though he had entered cellege four months late. In his senior year he awarded first prize for greatest ability shown in public dis- cussion and also received final honors in_mathematics. President Faunce of the university referred to Mr. Bennett as one of the most brilliant men at Brown. While studying there, Mr. Bennett was ap- pointed an instructor in mathematics, but did not accept. He gave two years of study to pedagogical subjects while at Brewn. His teaching experience, aside from that in Killingly, includes three years as instructor of the graduating class of the Candace street evening school of Providence, for three years an in- structor in the boys’ symmer school in the Y, M. C. A. of thé same city, one year the sub-master of the high school in Plymouth, Mass., and one year prin- cipal of the high school and graded school in Windsor Locks, from where he will come.to Danielson, although re-clected there for the coming year. Mr. Bepnett's salary here is to be $1,400. In Windsor Locks, where he had 12 teachers under his direction, the im- pression that he made may be indi- cated from the following extract from the letter of a prominent citizen of that town to a member of the local committee: “He has unusual tact in dealing with all classes of people, voung and old. He is very popular with his pupils, his teachers and with the people of the entire community. I do not know of a single fault or weak- ness that has hurt him in his year of work here. Frankly, I think I have never known anyone to come nearer to my ideal of what a young high school principal should be. Very few men could win so large a place in the af- fection and esteem of a community like ours in so short a time. I be- lieve he will make good from the start, and that he is also bound to develop greatly in the next few years.” This estimate has come tojbe shared by the local committee. Mr. Bennett has been found to have made more than good wherever he has been: His attitude in seeking the principalship in Killingly may be gauged by his enun- ciation of the feeling, “without the full confidence of the committee, I do not care for election.” And the com- mittee deemed’ that he is entitled to this upon the record of his attainments ; ts.

Has No Water Service, Monday motning at 3 o’clock Waure- gan was visited by the worst fire in the viilage Por years, a house and barn, owned by Andrew T. J. Clarke of Canterbury, and located opposite the Sacred Heart church, being total- ly destroyed. The loss is about $1,600, with insurance covering a greater part of this amount, Sisters of the Holy Ghost in the convent across the street discovered the blaze and gave the alarm by ring- ing the bell in the building. The en- tire village was immediately aroused, but though there were many men will- ing - to work they were handicapped because of the fact that there is no hydrant system on the west side of the river, which is the town of Brooklyn. The families of Ernest Peltier and P. J. Plouif occupied the destroved dwelling. Plouff succeeded in getting out practically all his belongings. Pel- tier got out about everything except the contents of two rooms. This is regarded as fortunate, as the firmeen, who had quickly responded, had no water with which to work. Indications are that the fire originat- ed in the open cellar of the barn. Just how it started is a mystery that could not be explained Monday. Un- der the conditions that prevailed at the time the fire broke out, there be- ing no wind, fear for surrounding property resulted in a call for help being sent to Danielson, but no ap- paratus was sent from here because of the reason that without water no use could be made of it there. ‘With the aid of their chemical en- gine the members of the Atwood hose company turned their attention to pro- tecting the Sacred Heart church from it is said that the destruction and building would probably have become ignited and gone down were it not for their efforts. Windows in the house next to the one that was burned were broken out by the intense heat, but the damage is principally to the Clarke property. SOLDIERS’ EXPERIENCES. Strenuous Day on Monday—Visitors to Tented Field. Members of the Thirteenth company, C. A. C., experienced some real camp weather at their station at Fort ‘Wright, Fishers island, on Monday, and theyv will have this to talk about when they get home along with the fact that tney are getting more real and hard work this year than in any season since they were transferred from the infantry to the coast artillery ‘branch of the service. In a sense, the annual encampment is regarded as a period of not over- strenuous work, but down at Fort ‘Wright the company is kept on the jump from early in the morning until dress parade at .night, and much is being done to develop them into effi- cient artillerymen. On Thursday a party from Daniel- son will be at the camp. They will probably leave here on the morning train, catching a boat from New Lon- don to the island about ten o'clock. By trolleying home from New London at night, reaching Danielson at 10.10, they will be able to get in a good long day with the soldiers, remaining at the camp until after dress parade. Charles L. Darbie, father of Capt. El- bert L. Darbie, was a visitor at the fort Sunday. HALPIN THE CHAMPION. Wins Honor in Amateur One-Half- Mile Running Test. Thomas J. Halpin of Hyde Park, Mass., until two years ago a resident of Danielson, is the new amateur half- mile running champion of New Eng- land, having earned that title at Read- ville' track _on Saturday Dby defeating James M. Burke of the South Boston A, A, at the athletic events arranged under the auspices of Division No. 1, A. O. H, Halpin romped in ten yards in the lead, having gone the half-mile in ‘1 minute 1-5 seconds. His many school friends in Danielson heard of the result with gleeful satis- faction. Halpin never made any at- tempt at half-mile running while in Danielson, but since going down to Boston he has gone in for the sport and developed remarkably fast. His win of Saturday was over the cham- pio nof New England, and the race was run to determine which of the two should lay claim to that honor. Halpin is a tall, slender youth, and one that has very little fo say about his fleetness on the cinder path; in fact, he is guite averse to talking about his ability to make speed. But he is a fiyer and there are those among his friends that hope he may have a chance to make the American Olympic team. A Motoring Incident. A certain autoist had a peculiar ex- perience while driving his car between Danielson and Providence. This hap- pened in Rhode Island. it was early in the morning when the driver, who was accompanied by ladies, found the narrow road, obstructed by the out- stretched legs of three drunks, while another sat in an old vehicle to which the remnant of a horse was attached. Aware that he could not drive the car through without running over or into the men or the team, the driver sounded his horn and awoke the sleep- ing jehu, _After extended parley, the latter agreed, sullenly, to give up “halt the road.” He did So and then de- cided that having given a little more than half, he would get back in the middle again—and he did. A minute later he went over the embankment with his rig on top of him, for the auto driver, becoming _exasperated, turned on the power and 'bunted the obstruction out of the way. Neither horse nor man was injured, but it cost the owner of the car $5 to get a fender straightened out. He says the satisfaction that he got was worth all of that. Rates to Veterans Bound for Roches- ter. Charles A. Potter, patriotic instruc- tor of the department of Connecticut, G. A. R., has received from the depart- ment commander an announcement as to the rates that are to be given to veterans for transportation to, the na- tional encampment of the G. A. R, at Rochester, N.
