The bell ringing was quite a mystery until an investigation by one of the parish priests disclosed the fact that a young lady, said to be a teacher, had entered the church while Sexton T. B.

In Colonial Days They Would Have Known What to Do With John Tracy. John Tracy, a character well known in police circles, was in police court Wednesday morning charged with non- support. He was arrested on complaint of his wife, Sarah. When the landlord served & writ upon her and her hus- band to vacate their home on Brook street. Mrs. Tracy, who is in delicate health, sought assistance from the au- thorities. It was learned that Tracy had not done anything for his wife since Christmas eve, 1811. He young and well able to work, and a warrant was accordingly sworn out for his ar- rest. He was locked up Tuesday even- ing. Wednesday morning he entered a plea of not guilty, and Assistant Prose cuting Attorney Samuel B. Harvey ! asked a continuance of the case until Saturday of this week, which was granted. There are two children in the household, and the woman's pres- ent condition is such that she is un- able to work outside of her own home. Tracy attained considerable notoriety a few years ago by marrying a woman nearly twice his age after she had purchased a wedding suit for him, an overcoat, and procured the marriage license, as well as paying the clergy- man's Tee. Two days after the wed- ding Tracy gave his wife a zeting and she had him arrested. They did not live together after that and later a divorce was secured. Many Attend Supper. The supper served by the Ladies' Aid society ol the First Congregational church chapei Wednesday evening was an excellent one, well patronized. AUTO STOCK COMPANY. New Business Corporation Planned for the City. ‘Willimantic men are contemplating the forming of a stock company or a corporation to embark in the automo- bile business. It Is the intention to secure a desirable plot of land and erect a substantial brick structure thereon to be used for the storage of automoblies and as a salesroom. The men plan to have a modern and up- to-date garage, capable of meeting all the demands that may be required of it. The men back of the proposition say that the automobile business has come to stay and that the auto can do more and better work than a horse ever could. The fact that during the year Willimantic is visited by a large number of automobile parties is one reason for the construction of the big filrfll!. as these could then be properly andled. The formation of the company and the erection of the building will mean just so much more business in the city and another solld substantial structure to be added to the city's fast growing number. Brotherhood to Feast With Gue: The Congregational Brotherhood will serve a free oyster supper to its mem- bers and invited friends in the church chapel next Tuesday evening. Notices have been sent out by the secretary, Ellison Smith. FUNERALS. Francois Bergeron.

" DANIELSON - Warrant Out for “Prof.” Joel Doug- las, Charged with Abducting Clai belle Hargraves, 15—Child’s Death Reczlls Thomas Luce’s Crime— Death of David Austin Ends Check- ered Career. A warrant charging “Prot.” Joel R. L. Deuglas of East Killingly with ab- ducting Claribelle Hargraves of East Killingly, has been issued here and a search is being made for the couple, who have been away from East Kill- ingly since Saturday last, The Har- graves girl is only 15 years of age. She formerly lived in Danielson and in Brooklyn, but has been at East Killingly for some time. Douglas is something of a character in the section of Killingly where he has been living for the past three years, coming here from Rhode Is- iand.’ He is about 45 years of age and has a wife and child. For consider- able time, it is said, he has been pay- ing attention to the girl, who, al- though but fifteen, is well developed, and looks cousiderably older. Constable Alcott D. Sayles has the warrant for the arrest of Douglas and is making a search for the man. Evi- dence in the possession of the officer may lead to the preferring of another serious charge against Douglas, who has been traced to his first stopping- place after leaving East Killingly. Douglas is dubbed “Frofessor” prin- cipally because of the fact that he fs in general demand in the section of country where he has been living to play his violin at country dances. He has had no regular occupation, man- aging to support his family and make e good appearance on money that comes to him every month from a trust fund. - Douglas, it is understood, originally came from the town of Thompson, and also lived in Webster for a time, The parents of the Har- graves girl are living apart, she hav- ing been at Fast Killingly with her father, Lack of Interest in Military Matters. That there is a surprising lack of interest among the townspeople in what its military organizations is do- ing was made apparent to those who listeried to what was said by some of the officers and members of the Thir- teenth company at the annual banquet of the organization. It was also clear- ly sensed by the civilians present that this lack of interest is a source of re- gret o members of the organization, for they feel that what they are doing is of sufficient interest and merit to deserve occasional attention from al- most all of the people of the town. The Thirteenth company driils on Tuesday evening of each we An invitation to be present stands for the people to come and see the com- pany at work on any drill night. Very few take advantage of this opportun- ity, though, and by failing to do so they miss a military practice that is not only interesting but _instructive. There {8 more to what the members of the Thirteenth company are re- quired to know than what there was to the military discipline and know!- edge required of Company M of Com- pany I, Danielson’s old infantry com- panies, Tor tho boys who now are serv- ing an enlistment in this town are ar- tillerymen, and they are required to learn many things about coast de- fence work, with all that means, in- clnding the operation of the big guns, that their worthy infantrymen pred- ecossors ever dreamed about knowing about such subjects. Watching the local company's men operating the range finding apparatus in their plotting room at the armory is alone well worth a visit there and it will prove to be a process that the average citizen finds he has known very little, if anything about. The officers and men want the people to come and see the work, and they are also invited to visited the company this coming summer, when it is in camp al ona of the forts in Fishers is- lend- sound. No Hope for Frank White, information_ received ~Wednesday tive to Frank White, who shot himself in thé head while attending a mperance meeting at Hast Killlingly Monday night, was to the effect that the man would probably die. At the Day-Kimball hospital no hope for his recovery was held. IFrom what has been learned about the temperance meeting from an officar who was called therc inimediately afier the shooting, it must have been & peculiar gather- ing, and there is reason to believe that some present were not the striet- st models for these who should not drinis DEATH AT COUNTY HOME Recalls Career of Thomas Luce, Sent to State Prison for Burglary. ‘With the serles of tragedies and near-tragedies that ~ have surprised this town within the past few days, comes the reminder of another of the past in the death at the county home for children. near Putnam, of little ‘Thomas Luce, 6, one of several chil- dren ‘of Thomas and Margaret Luce, committed ‘to the home about three years ago, following the sending of their father from this place to serve a term 1in the state prison after be- ing convicted in the superior court of bresking and entering several places in Danfelson in company with his brother-in-law' and with one of his (Luce’s) little sons as an_accessory, the boy being lifted through windows in places to be robbed and forced to assist in the criminal work. The arrest of the father was fol- lowed bty the breaking up of a home of utter poverty and squalor and the sending of the children to the county home, where they have heen well cared for, Thomas dying as the result of an attack of spinal meningitis. The body was brought to Danielson Tuesday nignt by Undertaker Louis E. Ken- nedy. It remained at the undertak- er's rooms Wednesday, with the time of the funeral not decided on. The boy's mother is belleved to be in Fall River, and Wednesday efforts were being made to locate her, OBITUARY. Daniel Austin. Daniel Austin, about 60, died Wed- nesday morning at the old people’s home on Main street, where he has| lived for some time. He had been ill about six weeks, a severe cold aggra- vating Bright's disesse, from which he suftered. Mr. Austin had been a resient in Brooklyn and Danielson for a considerable length of time, coming to this town about two years ago. He was born in Vermont, where he lived for years. A-tragedy in his domestic life turned him into a wanderer vears ©go, and after serving an enlistment in the regular army, his travels took him to many places, in no one of which he remained as long as he had in Danielson, where he found friends wh) made life more cheerful for him, it was related Wednesday by one who knew him well. Mr. r. Austin_was a man of much ability, his artistic tendencies being 80 well developed that he was able to paint poriraits of considerable merit. He was an omniyverous reader and al- 80 gave much time to writing, much of what he produced being in rela- tion to materialistic subjects, many of his articles being published, He was a man in whom those who came to know him found msny likable qual- ities. Mr. Austin is survived by ihree daughters, a son and a sister, his daughter Jennie and his sister, being with him when he died.

H., has been selected to seek new headquarters for the organization in this city, which is to vacate the quar- ters occupied in a building on Pomfret street for several years. Fewer Tramps Than Usual. Reports avallable show that the number of applicants for food and shelter in this town this winter by tramps has been unusually small. This is attributed to the severity of the weather, which kept the hoboes from traveling, and also to the fact that cotten mills, where many tramps seek work, are not particularly anxious to receive them as conditions are at pres- ent.

Since the recent investigation by the Historical society of Haverhill, Mass., with a view to locating the grave of son), who sleeps somewhere in the Leonard burying ground a few miles south of the borough, and their dent intention to set a marker at his grave, if it is found, other facts of in- terest have become known locally.

The rstem s in vogue throughout - the chools of Norwich and has proven a valuable factor as a means of saving as well as an excellent example. The system entails but little trouble, as each child has his deposit eneviope and Fankbook, which is filled out by the bank officials.
