New Principal of Killingly High School Takes a Providence Bride. ‘The following account of a wedding of locgl interest appeared in a Provi- dence paper Thursday: A home wedding took place Wednes- day evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin G. Andrews, 170 Orms street, when their daughter, Miss Lil- lian 8. Andrews, was united in mar- rviage 1o Rebert K. Bemnett of Kill- ingly, Conn. Rev. Nathan Bailey, pas- tor of the Jefferson Street Baptist church, performed the ceremony, the double ring service being used. Leaning upon the aim of her father and attended by her two sisiers, Miss- es Marion and Mildred Andrews, as bridesmaids, the bride entered the par- lar while the wedding march from Lo- hengrin was played by Miss Medora Ladervese, the ceremony taking place before a huge bank of palms. z The bride was gowned in satin mes- saline with pearl trimmings and car- ried a shower bouguet of bride roses. TFhe bridesmaids wore white embroid- ered muslin with pink ribbons and carried pink roses. Willlam F. Ben- nett, brother of the bridegroom, was the best man, and the ushers were George W. Bennett and Harold E. An- drews, brothers of the bridegroom and bride, respectively. After the ceremony, the newly wed- ded couple was assisted in receiving by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin G. Andrews and Mrs. Fannie S. Bennett, mather of the bridegroom. Fellowing the recep- tien, refreshments were served. The guests numbered about 100 and in- cluded relatives and intimate friend: The bride is an instructor in musi and organist of the Jefferson Street Baptist church, Mr. Bennett gradu- ated from Brown university in the class of 1909, and was recently elect- ed principal of the Xillingly _high school.

Jfrom the Pom- For the special benefit of “Reason,” the use of which word as a signature to a letter in Thursday’s Bulletin in- dicates g doubt as to the authenticity tof the story about frosts a vdn:fi,d in Tuesday’'s edition of the paper, the following relative to frosts is quoted from so valuable and recent an au thority as the yet uncompleted elev enth edition of the Encyclopaedia it- annica, volume IL 250: . “The terms ‘hoar frogt’ and ‘white frost’ (the latter specifically mentioned in lThe Bulletin's report) apply to visible frozen vapor fori on exposed sur- faces, . 2 number, of de- srees below! the freezing point are termed ‘degrees of frost. ‘As soon as t'ni mass of air is cooled to its dew-point. water begins to be precipitated in the form of rain, dew, snow or hail.

The frost written of in Tuesday's Bulletin was not only noted and recorded in Danielson but in surrounding tewns. Its character was at that time made clear. It was described as a white frost and as do- ing no injury. Danielson is no more fajgid than other parts of eastern Con- necticut, but it certainly does have frosts in August, be they ever so light. ROMANGE, TGO, HATH CHARMS. Central Village the Mecca for Scores of the Sentimental and Curious. Romance surely has its attractions for young and old, rich and poor, if the number of persons that are mak- ing visitg to Central Village to view the Hotel Central, where “Handsome Jack” Geraghty and Miss Julia Steele French were made man and wife, are a basis for unbias xmjud‘ment: in the matter. As a matter of fact, the many scores of curious folk that have visit- ed the modest little hotel during the past two weeks are wealthy and many of them came from long distances, but at no great sacrifice as they bave tray- eled in luxurious touring cars. Pro- prietor Edward Riley and his employes have had many a busy hour showing the inquisitive visitors about the place, especially the room in which the elop- ing and much pursued couple were made man and wife and in answering the many and varied questions that fertile minds are capable of compound- ing. Tncidentally Danielson has shared in the profits that the not unwelcome publicity has brought to Central Vil- lage. In the past fortnight, many an automobile party that “had.driven in to see where Mr and Mrs. Geraghty were married,” have stopped overnight at the local hotels, among the number Mr, and Mrs. H. H. French and Miss Clara French of Providence. These autoists register from various states, including New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, 1llipois, Virginia, Mary- land and Texas. the westerners and southerners coming from eastern sum- mer resorts where they are spending the season. There cameras have been snapped scores of times at the hotel in Central Village, both exterior and interior views, and the “bridal cham- ber” where the ceremony was per- formed has been the favorite target for the photcgraphers’ aim. Those that come, many of them, at least, write to proprictor Riley asking about rates and other information that they seem to need and his mail has grown heavy, as the days have gone by. The viliage and hotel have had a million dollars’ worth of advertising since the great event. Asked Thursday if he had received any word from the Geraghtys since the morning they had left, Mr. Riley said “Only a souvenir post card, mail- ed at Springfield.” DIED AT FOSTER CELEBRATION. Overwork “in Connection with Old Home Day Caused Death of Dr. Henry Arnold. Foster's Old Home day celebration at which nearly 2,000 jpeople were present, was thrown under a cloud on Thursday afternoon whei Dr. Henry Arnold, who as chairman of the gen- eral committee, had made practically all the arrangements for the affair, was taken suddenly ill, soon after eat- ing dinner. and died within a few minutes. Heart disease and overwork in cennection with the celebration caused death. The deceased was the most prominent citizen of the town and was well known all through this sec- tion. He was born August 5, 18 in Foster, He was a graduate of the University of Vermont and of the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons of L New York and had practiced medicine for 33 years. He was born in the same hpuse in which he died and in which his father, who was also a physician, lived for over 60 years. His sudden death was a distinct shock to the com- munity. He leaves a witlow, two broth- ers and a sister. He was ldentified with no secieties or fraternal organiz- ations. PUTNAM J. W. Wheeler’s Narrow Escaps from Death—Burned at Eastford Church Fair—Commander Whittemore Re- lates Interesting Experience—Special Committee Visits New High School. Members of the special committee appointed by the town to have. su- pervision of the work of constructing the new high school, which they have not yet accepted for the town, visited the ‘building Thursday in company with a representative of the firm of architects and the contractar. There are several minor details of the work that have not been completed to the satisfaction of the committee angd these were pointed out and the agree- ment secured that they would be at- tended to. It is expected tlat such work as is to be done will have been completed and the building accepted before the date set for the dedication esercises. STRUCK, BY EXPRESS TRAIN.
