Radiant Chapter, BRIDE DISAPPEARED. Habeeb Hforrah, Deserted Husband, Mourns Also Expenses of Wedding. On February 13 a marriage license was issued to Habeeb Hforah, aged 33, residing at b4 Prospect strees,and Nee- | dee A, Zamar, aged 21, residing at 449 Ma street. The couple were married soveral days after, it is said, by a Syr- | fan priest who %vas brofight here from | Lawrence, Mass. The groom paid the | priest $40 for the service rendered, which was $2 less than was originally | asked for a fee. { A few hours after the ceremony the bride complained of not feeling welil, | and went to the home of her brother- | in-law, who lives in the Burnham block | on Main street, opposite the spool shop. | The next day the young wife's husband | went to the house to call upon her, but found the house securely locked and! was unable to effect an entrance, and | also unable to raise anybody within. He paid another visit to the house later, but found everything as on the first visit. He and a number of his friends went to the house on several asions later, with the same result. Their suspicions were at last aroused to such an extent that they appealed to the police Wednesday afternoon. Chief E. H. Richmond went to the house and effected an entrance through a window, but found every- | thing in good condition, save that the | beds were unmade—all else in the nice- | Iv furnished apartment was spick and span and as neat and tidy as could be. Elaborate preparations for the untasted wedding feast were in evidence. There was wine and other good things upon the table and eatables on a nearby sidebord. The young wife and her bréther-in-law Were nowhere to be found and had left no trace of their whereabouts, They had effeotively van- ished. 'The chief said that as far as he could determine no crime had been committed. The thing that rankles most in the breast of Habeeb is that he gave the brother-in-law $150 that was to defray the expense of trans- porting the bride from Syria to this country. Hforah is a weaver and had worked hard and long at his looms to save the sum, together with the funds that went to pay the expenses incident to the wedding. He was simply married and that was all, and {s now without his wife and his good fat bankroll. FURY OF THE GALE. Chimneys Blown Down and Other Damage Done by Thursday’s Blow. The strong wind that almost blew a gale in this city and vicinity Thurs- | day did considerable damage. Two chimneys on the Cote block at the co ner of Chapman and Elm streets were blown down in the forenoon and one of > flying bricks struck a boy, but for- | tunately did him no serlous injury. A little before noon the chimne; the residence of Captain James C rane, 75 Quercus avenue, was blown off close to the ridge pole, but no oth- er damage was dome. The captain ugk the judgment day had come, s he was awakened from a _sound sleep. He works nights at the Federal building, and was just getting in a good nap. He said the noise was deaf- ening and reminded him of the roa of a battery in action. All about the city signs were blown down and dead limbs were blown from trees everywhere, and in some in- stances came very close to causing in- jury to pedestrians. | Passengers coming up from Norwich | on the 2 o'clock t:olley witnessed the | spectacle of a frame house in course | of construction being lifted bodi from its foundations at Taftville an blown a distance of at least twelve) feet to one side. The Central Vermont train arriving | at 230 from the north indicated the | ferocity of the storm up country, as| the pliot and entire front of the en- gine and the roofs of all cars were cov- | ered with a coating of snow. It did not snow much locally, aside from a | few aqualls during the day, but the | wind blew the dirt around in clouds | and made it most unpleasant to be abroad. Claimed Cow Had Tuberculosis. The civil action of Ben Bycel of this city vs. Oscar Bergason of Village | Hill, Lebanon, was tried Thursday be- fore Justice of the Peace Samuel B. Harvey. Attorney P. J. Danahey ap- peared for the plaintiff and the defend- | ant was represented by Attorney | George E. Hinman. The plaintiff claimed that he pur-| chased a cow from the defendant for $16, and that the cow was warranted Dy the defendant. When the cow was butchered it was found to be infected with tuberculosis, and was therefore worthless, as the carcass had to be buried. The defendant claimed that the plaintiff bought the cow as it stood and that the price itself would indicate that a warrant did not go with it. Five witnesses in the case were examined for the plaintiff and four for the de- fendant. At 3 o'clock the attorneys commenced their arguments and at the close of the trial decision was reserv- | ed by the justice. G. A. R. Committees Named. Commander W. H. Buckingham ot Francis S.

Persons who like to watch those things, kept an eye on the rivers, espe- cially the Quinebaug, Thursday, that they might see the grand smash that| would have been sure to follow the moving out of the exceptionally heavy ice, but it did not budge, though the | great quantity of water that came| down in the storm caused both riv to rise rapidly during all of the day The freeze up that followed the storm prevented a maximum rise and also fixed conditions right for further dan-| ger from flood, as the ice will not pa out unless another big storm moves it. Nearly 30 vears have passed since Daniclson people witnessed the last big freshet in the Quinebeug and Assaws ga rivers, one that swept away bridg and furnished a wonderful spectacle| that bas not since been forgotten.

CHESTNUT BLIGHT Affecting Young Trees and Sprouts as Well as Developed Timber, C. A. Til- linghast Says. Charles A. Tillinghast of Main street said Thursday that in his trips as a lumberman through towns in Wind- ham and New London counties he finds the chestnut blight doing its deadly work. Not only is developed timber attacked, but young trees and sprouts as well, anything that is chestnut be- ing apparently doomed. Mr. Tillinghast mentioned in partic- ular one 1ot that he has recently cut off, east of Jewett City, where 500 trees were found afflicted with the disease. The fungus is eating the life out of trées in about every yoodland area in this section, some séctions being far worse afflicted than others. At pre ent the menace it presents is greater hereabouts than that of the brown tail or gypsy moths,as no successful means of combating it has been discovered. The extent of the ravage that is being worked is not apparent to the inexpe- rienced, as many suffering trees do not vet show that they have been attack- ed. Mr, Tillinghast describes the blight having the appearance of a saffron- colored sore in its well developed stages. Its first work is done bn the inner bark, through which the sap flows, a fact that keeps its presence unknown to those not familiar with its workin the tree diseas is about ready to die, The may make its appearance on any part of the surface, from base to | tip. In its well developed stages the disease breaks through the outer bar and the tree is then about ready to die, In his inspection of many woodland properties that are affected Mr. Til- linghast has found an uneven distribu- { tion of the plague spots, in some in- stances many trees in a_ group being victims of the disease, while in others there would be a scattering of clean and diseased trees. Still other areas are yet free from the disease, Only those who know the value of eastern Connecticut’s chestnut growths can make any afproximate estimate of the damage that has already been done and of that impending. A discussion of the disease is to be held at the next meeting of the Hast- ern Connecticut Lumbermen’s assocla- tion, when it is expected that the state forester will be present and give an address on the subject, The sit srious that the talk now advocate at the next general assembly an_appropriation by the state for a fight against the fungus, which is one of the most deadly that has appeared in Connecticut. Washington Birthday Events. Two notable holiday events were the ‘Washington supper given by Sarah Williams Danielson chapter, D. A. R., in Wood's hall, and the Washington dance in Phoenix theater Thursday night. Both events were largely at- tended, many finding time to be pres- ent at both of the functions. PUTNAM Sixth Applica gene Bonneville—Eighty-four Sold—River on Burnett Wedding, For the sixth time since he was bad- burned October 29 last, Eugene Bonneville underwent a skin grafting peration Thursday, this time at Worcester City hospital, where he js patient. This time the operation was rin point skin grafting, tiny bits the of skin being nipped from the person giving it for the healing of the suf- ferer. It is probable that Thursday operation will be the last that Mr. Bonneville will be obliged to under- go, as the previous grafting opera- tlons have been so successful as to cause the greater part of the burned area to heal. the back and arms have falled to improve, however, bat there is now lit- tle doubt that they will do so event- ually. - Mr. Bonneville, who is a cle in a Iceal clothing stere, has with- stood his sufferings with great for- titude and his many friends are pleas- ed at the prospect of his ultimate re- In his restoration to health the cuticle of several persons will have played & part and when he comes home again his back and arms will be clothed with the skin of Several different people.

EIGHTY-FOUR PERSONS POSTED, Cannot Buy Liquor in Any Saloon in | Town—Seven Women in the Sham ful List. According to_a list just issued by C. E. Pierce, Luther M. Keith and Dr. Omer Larue, selectmen, there are 81 persons of adult age in Putnam who may not buy liquor in any one of the more than score of lcensed places.

The most Interesting feature of the list to one who likes to consider pe- culiar psychclogical slants, is apt to be that ohe showing that two broth- ers and their wives arey grouped as a quartette to any ome of whom the sale of intoxicating liquors 18 forbid- en. All of these people have been black- listed by persons having the legal right to take such action, The ma- jority of them gracefully submit to the restriction placed upon them, but there is a minority that does not so readily agree and are a constant source of troutle through their efforts to get the sentials for a jag. They are all newn to saloon men, however, and “buying” is no easy stunt for them. Quinebaug on a Rampag A swirl of water and the crashing of Leavy cakes of ice marked the rushing flow of the Quinebaug river through the limits: of the town of Putnam Thursday. The stream had all the appearances of a spring flood and | swept southward at a higher level than it ever attains except under abnor- mal conditions. Nearly all of the heavy ice went out without causing any trouble or damage to anyone, though large cakes piled along the banks at various points on the course of the stream.
