The amount of mail matter of all classes handled at the local postoffice Saturday was unusual, surpassing any Easter holiday within memory. Post- master Charles H, Dimmick said it was entirely unexpected and resembled the quantity handled at Christmas. It included thousands of KEaster cards and advertising matter and kept all the clerks and carriers on the jump throdghout the day. It was easily the biggest Kaster business handled through the Wilimantic office. Stricken with a Shock. Mrs, Mary A.

A car 1 search revealed the girl hidden, however, although the m-] mates of the household tried to con- | vey the impression that there was no | one afflicted with the disease i th ; house. This goes to show what a | proposition the authorities are up pgalnst, FUNERAL. | Edmund P. Colbert. i The funeral of Edmund P. Colbert was held Saturday morning at 10.30 t St. Joseph's church and was ; attended. Among those pres- | ent was a delegation from the wind- ing department of the American thread company, where deceased had been employed as a second hand, There were beautiful floral tributes. Rev. T.

Weaver has caused the police much trouble by frequently jumping freights to New York and back again. Mr. Girard only Saturday received another incriminating postcard from Weaver, postmarked New York, April 2. Weaver will be held for trial this (Monday) morning, although the case wiil probably be continued a day. Local Notes, Van Horn of the Hotel Saturday with friends Willlam H. Hooker sp in Colchestes A.

In the warning for the annual bor- ough meeting is a clause “to seq what action the borough will take in regard to furnishing police patrol of Main street, between the Congregational church and the northerly borough line, between the hours of 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock p. m.” To voters who ex- pressed an cpinion on the matter Sat- urday this p:cposition appears like an effort to secure a special favor in the way of police protection. As against the request for this spe- cial protection it is pointed out that not even the business section of Dan- ielson is policed at the expense of the borough, excepting on Saturday nights and Sundays, and that as far as an all night policing of the business section is concerned, if it can be considered as police protection at all, the total ex- pense of it, this being in paying & soli- tary watchman who is not an officer, is met by the business men, who con- tribute a certain amount each week This being true, there are many voters who cannot quite see their way clear to a vote to meet the expense of | police protection six hours each night to a certain well lighted section of the town that is as safe or more safe to travel in at any time of the day or night as is any other section of Dan- ielson, no part of which has such pro- tection as is sought. Thnse who oppose the pian do principally on the theory that it w not be as equitable and fair to as of the voters of the borough to as: in paying for street lights for those living on certain streats, while the streets others lived on might have to %o along without them, or to request an exclusive sewer service or the ad- vantage of any other public utility for the benefit of a few at an expense to all. Broad street or Maple street or Franklin or Furnace street, it is held, | ! ag fully entitled to police protection, 80 uld 1 Main street, | seeks it. MONUMENT AT AUCTION. White Elephant on the Hands of Rail- road Claim Agent Who Bid $10. purely residential, tha There was an auction sale of unac- cepted goods at the frelght station of the New Haven road here Saturday morning. Twoe wagons were sold for a total of $14. The interest of the 50 or more persons that gathered, how- ever, was centered in what was to have been the sale of a granite monu- ment, lettered with the inscriptions wanted by the family that ordered it about four years ago. In transit from Barre, Vt., the car carrying the montu- ment went astray, reaching as far south as Texas before it finaliy reached Danlelson. When it did get h chipped and otherwise damaged, the consignee would not accept it. Hence the sale. The crowd at the sale must have looked like buyers with ready money to the road's claim agent, for he made an opening bid of §10 for the monument Thia proved te ba such a strong opener that no other hids were received, so | the granite pieces are to be shipped to West Quincy and again offered sale by the railroad on Wednesday this week. The original value of the monument la eald te have been from $126 to $150. OBITUARY. Vincent Bowen.
