Willlams by Suturday at his home in Plainfield at the| of 75. Mr. Spalding had been in poor health for some time, but was seriously ill for the past two weks. | He is a descendant of Edward Spald- | ing, who between 1630 and 1633 came | to the Massachusetts colony. Chester Tilden Spalding was born in Plainfield, August 2, 1837, and all his life wa ent in that town. He was engaged in railroad work during his active life and for over 25 years was an express messenger on the Provi- dence and Fishkill road, now part of the New Haven system. He also kept the restaurant at the Plainfield sta- tion for some time, but retired from active dutles several years ago. Jan- uary 28, 1866 he married MAry E. Rob- bins, whose death preceded his. In politice he was a democrat. He was one of six children of Stephen and Ruth Green Spalding. The deceased was one of the prom- inent residents of Plainfleld, where he was held in high esteem. His death will be learned with sincere regret. Mr. Spalding leaves one son, Archi- |bald 8. Spalding of this city, clerk in| the gelectmen’s office. There are three | grandchildren. Charles G. Orn. The death of Charles G. Orn occur- red Thursday morning at 1 o'clock at the Backus hospital, after a two weeks’ serious iliness of stomach trouble. Mr. Orn was the son of Andrew G. Orn and Katherine Peterson Orn, be- ing born in Stockholm, Sweden, July 19, 1869. At the age of 20 he came to this country, residing in New York until he moved to Mohegan about 11 years ago, ‘August 1st, 1898, he was united in marriage to M Lena E. Swenson, by whom he is survived. He was em- played by H. F. & A. J. Dawley, and wa upright. and honorable in all his dealings. He was a good neighbor and liked by all who knew him. evening. Contributions Reported Thursday. When the teams met on ‘Thursday noon there was much enthusiasm, f° being one of the best meetings that the committeemen have held and they plan to hold them every day now un- til the finish. The report of the teams showed that there had been secured in additional pledges the sum of $2,045, making the total at noon $53,790. With the addi- tions secured Thursday afternoon and evening the amount is now over $55,000 and well along towards $56,000. Raymond Eldred is completing the arrangements for the concert in Y. M. C. A. hall on the evening of the 8th, and has secured the assistance of Miss Pearl M. Jackson as soloist for the | evening. He plans to hold a tag day next week. Finish Team Work Tuesday. The committee of 100 having been formed for a ten days’ campaign, this will end on Tuesday, by which time the team work will be closed up, and it is desired that the entire sum be raised within that period. This will mean a trifle over $20,000 in four days. It re- mains to be seen whether this can be done. If all is not raised by that time there remain nine days thereafter in which the first committee or another can raise the remainder. ‘When the dinner was over, Chair- man James L. Case called the meet- ing to order and presemted Rev. P. C. Wright to make a few remarks. Rev. Mr. Wright was greeted with ringing applause as he voiced his confident conviction that the citizens were go- ing a head to raise the needed $75,- 020, and he emphasized the tremend- ous importance to Norwich of this movement in more lines than in mere- ly securing the Thermos company to come here. Others Want Factory. General Chairman William F. Hill also addressed some ringing words to the team captains and their men, »irg- ing that they get into the fleld for a long, strong pull all together to finish the campaign by the limit of the ten days. He assured the teams that oth- er cities were watching Norwich and are after the Thermos factory to lo- cate in their midst, but he belleved that Norwich was going to hustle and win and that no other city would get the plant. | Nicholas Tarrant also spoke and was | given three cheers when he predicted great results which would land us at | the goal in the next four days. - Secretary Henry W. Tibbits of the board of trade read the following tele- aun of congratulations from Hugo umrmuntormar resident here: New swick, N. J., Jan. 31. | | i Had Two Toes Amputated.

Secretary Tibbits also referred to his recent visits in Hartford and Willi- mantic, where the Norwich campaign for the Thermos fund was being close- ly watched, as well as in other cities "of the state. The meeting was one of the longest series, lasting until 115, as! many of the team captains remained | in conference with the men of their teams over the way the assignments could be covered, Another Appeal by General Hill. Another appeal has heen been made by General Chairman Hill as follow: Alexander the Great once sighed be- cause there were no more worlds for him to conquer. If we had him in Norwich today, we could give him a job, His Macedonian phalanxes were invincible and we must, soldiers of progressiveness, use the phalanx in carrying forth our campaign. The time is growing short and not a single spear of grass can be allowed to grow under our feet. There must be no sleeping on our arms or lurk- ing within the interenchments. The skirmish is over and we are in pssi- tion on the firing line. So far we have met few reverses—henceforth, we must meet none. “Up and at 'em” was once a famous battle order. It must be our inspira- tion now. The charge is at hand and we must win the fight, even though we do it by the bayonet. None of the world's great generals knew what it was to pause in his movements. We must draw our lessons from them. If one man lags, he clogs the whole sys- tem, so you all, each and individually, must keep on the qui vive, determined to do your best to make Norwich boom and to inject the serum of business progress into what our rivals would term a moribund city. ‘We are not dead oy a long shot; nor have we been crippled, But we will be if we permit the Thermos bottle works to locate elsewhere than in Norwich.

On Thursday Engineer Sterling the New Haven road was in this city in conference with Agent E. C. Jewett relative to a siding which will be de- sired by the American Thérmos Bottle company at Sunnyside if the plan to get that company here is consummated. They visited the property and it was found that there is plenty of room for the desired siding which the com- peny whl put in as soon as they are given the word. The sending here of the engineer looks as if the New Haven road feels that Norwich is going to get the company to locate at the Mason place. BOARD OF RELIEF ORGANIZED FOR YEAR. Edward Kirby is the Chairman and F. R. McLaughlin the Clerk. e members of the board of relief— Edward Kirby, . R. McLaughlin and James W.

The board will be busy throughout February, de- voting the first three weeks to hearing the complaints of those who think they are unjustly assessed or mot sufficient- ly assessed. They will also put in some time investigating complaints and looking over property, but will finish their duties the last of the month. There was little business for them on Thursday.
