Louise [ As a wedding present, the members of the court of common council pre- sented to Mayor Charles F. Thayer a ‘beautiful large Turkish rocker. On Monday evening at the execttive. com- mittee meeting the members received a latter of thanks from his honor, who was not present, in which he expressed his deep appreciation of the gift. On the arm of the chair was a silver plate marked “To Mayor Charles F. Thayer from the Common Council, 1911.” The executive committee took up a number of matters at its weekly ses- sion. Concerning theé petition for a walk on the northerly side of Shipping Teet, it was reported that there is no grade on th= street, and it is probable the establishment of a grade there will be asked for by the petitioners before the walk is ordered laid. . A petition was recaived for two ligh(s in Water street, but action on this was deferred. One was recently placed near ‘Washington square and in a short tir:e some of the new flaming arc lights are erpected, and it was thought best to wait for them. J The matter of the gutterin the City cemetery as brought to the ceuncil's attention by James A. Hiscox had been investigated by the public works com- mittee, and it was found that it is ‘n the cemetery, which department will fill the hole, and it is possible the gut- ter will be paved to the catch basin.

This was referred to the public works committee for investigation. The erection of buildings covered with sheet iron came in_ for ‘consider- able discussion before the committee, as it was stated ome petition is on its was to the council and another can b2 expected soon. The erection of such buildings inside the fire limits requires the action of the council. The danger of such buildings was point2d out, but as the petition was not bafore the com- mittee no action was taken, but it will probably come up at the next meeting. The sentiment of the com- mittee seemed to be against such build- ings in the fire limits, but their loca- tion as concerns other buildings, it was th‘oughl, should be taken into gonsider- ation. / The Hourigan lane matter, it is ex- pected, will be ready for a hearing at the August council meeting. This im- provement the public works committee is ready to go ahead with, but it must wait for the hearing, and that was de- loyed by the fact thac one of the abut- ting property owners had not signed the agreement concerning the changes from the present way to the proposed one. In the absence of Mayor Thaver, Senior Alderman Gebrath presided at the meeting, a number of the council- men being present. ARTILLERYMEN HAD QUIET DAY AT FORT Work on the Game Delayed by the Rain—Time Spent Blending Powder. Rain interfered with instructions for the Connecticut coast artillerymen Monday. The gun details were put to work blending powders and cleaning projectiles, preparatory to the full service firing, which will begin Wed- nesday. This work was continued in the afternoon, though later it was thought it raight be possible to resume sub-caliber practice. Sunday in camp was a day given over entirely to rest for the citizen soldiers. At 9 oclock in the Y. M. C! A, tent there was service following the church call by the musicians. Chaplin Harry C. Meserve of Da bury, a Congregational minister, preached. This' service was attended by the guardsmen and by many sum- mer visitors from the hotels. At 530 the corps paraded for re- view by Col_ Gilbert L. Fitch. Thir- teen companies, the entire corps, formed as a regiment on the parade ground of the fort and marched in review, accompanied by the band. The hospital is occupied by a few men, but none of the troubles are con- sidered serious by the surgeons. Many soldiers have furnished slight surgery cases on account of small cuts on the hands or feet. Nothing like a dan- gerous wound has been provided for the hospital men to treat. ADVENTISTS MOVE THEIR CAMP GROUND. Located Now at the Corner of McKin- ley Avenue and Otis Street.

Three Were Before Justice Smiddy in Moneville on Monday—Pleaded Guil- ty and Paid Fines. In the Montville court before Justice of the Peace William Smiddy on Mon- day morning at 8 olclock _Arthur D. Sykes and M. C. Mason of Rockville were presented, charged with speeding. Both settled, the former paying a fine of $1 and costs, amounting to $15.57, and the latter $5 fine and costs,amount- ing to $20.14. The lighter fine, which Mr. Sykes received, was becduse he had violated the law to a less degee than his fellow townsman, and having shown an effort to obey the law the fine was made nominal. At noon Samuel Kronig and his chauffeur, Augustus Skelly, were .in the same court, the latter charged with the same offense. An fine of $1 and costs, amounting to $14.41, was impos- ed and paid. Mr. Kronig, it is said, stated the speeding occurred before his son left for Europe, and that there would be no more fo it. TO MEET FIRST AT ALTAR.

Concerning statements that he had caused traps to be set for the catch- ing of autoists on the Montville road, Inspector John Donovan writes as fol- lows to a eommittee of Willimantic autoists: Norwich, Conn., July 23, 1911. Mr. G. A. Barlett, J. B. Fullerton, George BE. Hinman, Committee; Dear Sirs: I noticed several articles in local papers to the effect that I had caused traps to be set in the town of Montville for the purpose of catching automobolists who had exceeded the speed limit. In answering, I would say I caused no traps to be set, neither do I know where they were set. On July 7, I was in the town of Mont- ville, getting ready to repair the state roads, In conversation with First Se- lectman Chapman we discussed the accident that happened in that town, where a team was run down by an auto. Mr. Chapman said he was go- ing to have the town constable sta- tioned on the road to catch reckless drivers, as some drivers were so reck- less he feared there would be a seri- ous accident if it were not stopped. He asked me what the law was in re. gard to speed. I told him and he said he would stop the speeding, as he was afraid his town would be sued if something was not done. Friday evening I called up a report- er on the Norwich Bulletin and told him what was to be done to reckless drivers in Montville. He published the law in The Bulletin, July 8, en- closed please find copy. I also called at Swan’s garage in Norwich and told ‘Amos Swan and a number of drivers around there to look out for the po- lice 1 Montville and to tip off all the automobile people was in the ai July 14 in conversation with ex-May. or Osgood of Norwich in the Waure- gan hotel he asked me if the road was to be policed July 15. I told him I did not know, but I told him I would try io g;‘lnd‘ out and if they wera I would 'phone I also requested Charles Hubbard, who owns a large summer home in Montville, to 'phone Swan’s garage and Mr. Osgood if he saw the police along the line. I heard the traps were set opposite Mr. Hubbard's place, and I also heard Mr, Hubbard had 'phoned Swan’s garage July 8 that the traps were set opposite his place. Before I found out whether the police were on the road Mr. Osgood came down in his auto July 1 I was talking to Mr. Chapman. I introduced Mr. Osgood to Mr. Chapman, and I.asked Mr. Chap- man in Mr. Osgood’s presance if he had the police on duty that day. He said he had and in addition he said Mr. Rudd of the state police had ’phoned him' if he wanted the services of the state police. He said if there would be no expense to his town he would be glad to have them. He said he sup- posed they were on the road some- whera. Mr. Osgood thanked him and rode away. The above facts are correct and T court the strictest investigation by your committee as far as I am con- cerned in this controversy: I did not request police servica in Montville from the selectmen. Commissioner Mac- Donal is the man I repoft to, and ail the business of whatever nature that comes within my observation is report- 2d to Commissioner MacDonald’s office and every move which I make is di- ted by him. Personally T know Com- missioner MacDonald is very much op- posed to making trouble for anyone. The last time I heard or saw the -—_ missioner was about May 27. I left him in your city at 1112 p. m. with Civil Engineer Mitchell in an engine unouse. Trusting this explanation wiil be investigated, I am respectfully yours, JOHN DONOVAN, Inspetor State Roads.

Mr. Dolbeare was walk-| ing a little in the rear of his com- panions, ‘When a few steps south of the church parsonage, an automobile own- ed by Zebulon Robbins of Norwich, going toward New London, came upon the men from the rear, while a horse and wagon from New London ap- proached from the front. Horse and automobile passed each other on ths right, but the machine, having little space, hit Messrs. Nich- ols and Riell, throwing them down an embankment. Mr. Dolbeare had heard the machine approaching and had stepped aside just in time to let it pass him. Fortunately, the automobile was going slowly, in addition to which the driver had made an attempt to bring it to a stop, so that the men were not hit a forcible blow. A doctor was sum- moned and attended the two men, who were taken to their home. No broken bones were found on Mr. Nichols, but he was painfully bruised. Mr. Rieli's injuries were slight.
