The international egg-laying contest that is being held at the Conmecticut agricultural college -at Storrs is at- tracting world-wide interest. At the close of the first quarter of the year's contest, one fact has been established and this all doubt as to the ability of of a hen to lay more than an egg a day. This has been a mooted ques- tion, and thoroughly and convincingly settled. Thursday from a pen of Ruby Comb Rhode Island Reds, the pen consisting of five pullets, as all entr.es in the contest, entered by E. S. Edgar- ton of West Willington, were collected six eggs. One egg, said Prof. F. H. Stoneburn of the department of poul- try husbandry, was collected on the first trip In the morning from a hen in a trapped nest and on the afternoon round another egg was taken from the same nest from the same hen and four other eggs, one each from the four other hens in the pen. .The professor said that this was an unusual thing and could settle the idea that it was impossible for a hen to lay more than a single egg a day, The records for the first three months have not been assembled yet, but Connecticut was leading at last accounts, THIRTY-NINE ARRESTS The Record for January—As Usual, Drunkenness Caused Greatest Nura- ber.

A special meeting of the Willimantic Board of Trade held Thursday eveninc for the purpose of formulating a public policy for new industries was largely attended and many members entered the enthusiastic general discussion of the vital question. President W. B. Knight read a letter from the Ameri- can Thermos Bottle company of New York that will locate In Norwich and said that he had not brought the mat- ter to the attention of the board before bacause he thought the company asked too much for Willimantic, as the mill that they would require would cost $100,000 in addition to a site. He sald: “I do feel, however, that we should do all we can to fulfill our promise to the Willimantic Industrial company and the Rossje Velvet company relative to the matter of one-third assessment of taxable property as compared with other corporations.” It was voted that the selectmen of the town have a town meeting called for some Tuesday or Thursday evening to get an expression of the sentiment of the voters relative to taxing recently located or new in- dustries. It was also voted that the president appoint a committee of three to appear before the board of rellef to have the tax list of the Willimantic In- dustrial company reduced to $15,000. This committée was appointed: George F. Taylor, H. C. Murray and J. O'Sulli- van. The sentiment of the meeting was in favor of leniency towards existing and new corporations desiring to locate in Willimantic in the matter of taxes. Taxation was discussed and the matter of a revaluation of all taxable property in the town toward an equitable a sessment was also brought up. Among thoee who spoke on, the various topics were W. B. Knight, George F. Taylor, William Vanderman, H. C. Murray, John F. Carr, E. F. Whittemore, W. A. Arnold, A. B. Baldwin, John E. Brick. D. A. Lyman, George A. Bartlett, Frank P. Fenton and several others. The work of the assessors was commended by some and criticlsed by others. but the prevailing sentiment appeared to be with the assessors. City Health Officer’s Report. City Health Officer Dr. W. P, S. Keating's report to the state board of health for January shows that there were but five cases of contagious dis- eases reported to him as follows: Diph- theria 3 and tuberculosis 2. SIXTEEN COMPLAINTS Received by Board of Relief at First Day’s Session. The board of relief—Asher B. Holmes, Joseph P. Cotter and Charles F. Risedorf—held its first meeting in the rooms of the board of selectmen in the town building Thursday. Ag it ‘was the first meeting, business was not particularly brisk and only about 16 property owners or their rep- resentatives appeared before the board. The members of the board do not expect many objecting property owners and but few put in an appear- ance. A number of thecallers sought information that was cheerfully given while there were a few who entered remonstrances for the ralse in ther assessments, but they were carefully examined and questioned regarding their sworn lists and from what Lhe members of the board intimat through the chairman, Asher 3. Holmes, it does not propose to reduce the figures that property owners themselves have placed on their lists. That the work of the assessors is| appreciated is evidenced from the re- marks that different property ownera are making, SPRING BUILDING PLANS Arrangements for New Theater—Mrs. C. C.

A COLD JANUARY. Seven Mnmmgu the ercury Was Be- low Zero—Record Temperaturs 22 Degrees Below. By a review of the weather records, the month just closed is shown by the United States weather bureau at Bit- good's to have been one of the coldest Januarys since the habit of keeping accurate records was commenced. Sev- | en mornings out of the 31 the mercury | was below zero, and the total number cf degrees below zero on those seven mornings was 54. below zero, but came mighty close to doing so, stopplng at 2 and 3 degrées. The excess of temperature accumulated during the exceptionally warm month of December has been offset. The coldest mrorning of the month | zero was recorded, the past twelve years. The highest point reached during the month was 47 deerees, this on the 19th. A peculiar that the greatest daily range of tem- perature occurred on the 14th, when the mercury rose from 22 below to 25 | above zero, a change of 47 degres in | mbout seven hours. The temperatures | for the month averaged so low that the mercury freezing point for many days in suc- | cession. | As to precipitation, January was something of a contributor, but the full berefit of this has not as yet been | realized, there being great quantities of snow and ice on the watersheds at the present time, The total snowfall during the period was 23 inches. amount of rain that fell was only 1.28 days—the 9th and 19th,"the latter hav- i the largest amount, .78 of an inch. { n%hsre were 16 clear days, 7 partly | cloudy and 9 cloudy.

Only a {oflun;u circumstance saved him the oss. George Pear], who has a young wom- an friend in Danielson, had just re; turned from giving her a sleigh hide ‘Tuesday evening, and entered the Spaulding barn to stable his horse, when, greatly to his surprise, he found two of Mr. Spaulding’s horses with bridles on, standing unattended on the floor of the barn. This was so nnusua.l that young Mr. Pearl told his father about it as soon as he lved at his home, shortly after 11 o'clock. His father at once sensed something wrong and sent the young man back to tell Mr. Spaulding of the matter. This led to the discovery that Mr. Spaulding knew nothing of the horses being ready to be taken out, and it was at once realized that the horses were just about to be stolen when young Pearl happened along and frightened the thief or thieves away. That the contemplated crime was be- ing carried toward completion by some one familiar with the barn and the animals within it is shown by the fact that the two horses selected were among the most valuable in the num- ber that Mr. Spaulding owns, one of them having cost him $325 last spring. A night man sleeps in the carriage house, but had no knowledge o what was golng on in where the horses are kept. While there was not a trace or sign of the party that made the daring attempt to get away with two of the animals, there is a well founded sus- picion who is responsible for the act. PUTNAM Judge Shumway Reserves Decision in Appeal Cases—Only 13 Arrests Dur- ing January—Scouts Destroy 500 Moths’ Nests—One Complaint to the Board of Rel Before Judge M. A, Shumway at a special session of the superior court here Thursday arguments were heard on a legal and technical phase of the | cases wherein an appeal has been made to the superior court from the decision of the Windham county commissioners !in granting licenses to the Central house and Amadee Bernier in Daniel- son over the remonstrance of citizens of Killingly against those places hay- ing license. The' point argued Thursday by the. attorneys in the case was as to whether Gordon A. Johnson of Daniel- | son, who made the appeals, is legally a taxpayer. This question was raised when the county commissioners, after allowing the appeals, vacated them and granted the licenses in question, this action of the commissioners being taken after Frank T. Preston, town clerk of Kil- lingly, had certified that Mr. Johnstone was not a taxpayer in that town. It is contended, however, that Mr. John- stone is a taxpayer in Killingly, he having filed a list of taxable property in Killingly in October last, before the appeals now being contested were taken. After listening to arguments and citations, pro and con, on the point at issue by Attorney Oliver E. Getty for the Central house and Mr. Bernier, and by Attorney A. G. Bill, representing Mr. Johnstone, Judge -Shumway took the papers, reserving decision. The session of the court did not extend over three-quarters of an hour. The grounds on which the remon- strances were taken—the suitability of the places to be licensed—was not in- cluded in the proceedings of Thursday. To Attend Navy League Dinner. Senator George A. Hammond _has been named as a delegate to attend the seventh annual reunion and dinner of the Navy league of the United States to be held in Washington, D. C., Feh. 22 to 24, and will he present. Senator Hammond has been a member of the league for seven years.

Prepared Lord’s Point Hotel Plans. W. O. Stanton of Springfield, who s building a $10,000 hotel at Lord’s Point, below New London, is an adjoining property owner at that place to Alder- man E. L. Davis of this city. Alderman Davis considered the possibilities in building a hotel at the point, but final- 1v decided not to do so. The plans that are the basis for the structure that will be ready for use next summer are the plans, though, which Mr. Davis Frepflred for his proposed hotel, he having turned them over to Mr. Stan- ton. THIRTEEN ARRESTS, The Record for January—Small Num- ber of Offenders. which few arrests are made—13 being the total for January. The very low number of arrests in Putnam and ad- joining towns has been the matter of comment for more than a year past, but a cause for this condition is ad- vanced. It is claimed that the fact that cotton mills in this section have been running so irregularly is the cause. When the mills are regularly run and on full time many of the operatives are of the class that sometimes, through weaknesses, get into the courts on minor charges. Not being so numerous here and -hereabouts at present, the number of this class arrested has been very small. Five Hundred Moths’ Nests Destroyed. In his search about Putnam for the browntail moth Donald J. Caffrey of the state bureau of entomology has lo- cated 'and destroyed about 509 nests since Monday. This number may seem large, but it is very much less than was found in Putnam last year, when | more than 4,000 nests were found and destroyed. The inspection of the trees in Putnam is not yet completed, but | conditions have been found to be much better than last year. In Raiiroad Secret Service Department James E.
