Te grew rapidly worse and on Sunday it became evi- dent that the end was near. Mr. Davis was a native of Killingly, where his ancestors, the first of whom came to the Providence colony from Buckinghamshire, Hng, soon after 1700, have lived for gemeraiions, and have always been prominent among the town's people.

Martford Phalanx May Be Enthusing Over a Foster Fake. The preseniation to the Putnam Phalanx by Lieut. A. E. Brooks of Hartford of what a paper of that eity describes as the “identical implemen which the general (Putnam) standing in the furrow on his Con- mecticut farm at his country’s call to arms,” this referring to the plow which General Israel was using at Brooklyn when he received the call for duty, has set some Danielson peo- ple to wondering whether or not the Phalanx has really received the orig- inal plow that the great patriot left in the fieid in the 7 s town—or a eounterfeit of the historical Imple- ment. There is a story about a “General Putnam plow” that may Interest the Phalanx members and the committee that has been appointed to draw up resolutions in appreciation of the gift, More than a score of yvears ago W. O. Jacobs, who was engaged in the hard- ware business in Danielson, was over in the town of Foster one day 1 saw an old farmer who had a plow s patched with hoe blades and so an- efent looking that he conceived the 1dea of purchasing it d putting it on exhibition here as the original plow that General Putnam left in the DS S s S L S S e e furrow to answer his country’s eall to arms. Accordingly, he brought the batter- ed implement te Danielson. It was exhibited here and in the windews of hardware stores threughout the coun- ty as the Putnam plow and attract- ed a great deal of attention. At about the time of the dedieation of the me- morial to General Putnam at Brooklyn it was displayed upon the lawn at the home then eccupied by F. A, Jacobs on Main street and ticketed in a manner to create the impression that it was the original plow; The old piece of junk drew hundreds to imspect and comment upon it. Among those who came and saw and fell for the hoax was a Hartford collector of relics and antiquss, and he could not be satisfied until he had paid some of his good money for the old plow and car- ried it off to Hartford. It is possible, of course, that the Phalanx the original plow, but the fake one was taken to the Capitol City and may now })[e having resolutions written about Ex-Senator Jacobs, brother of W. O.

John Howland, principal of the International college at Guadalajara, Mexico, In which country he has been a resident for 30 years, writes an in- teresting letter to the Congregational- ist relative to the United States inter- vening in the border republic’s trou- bles. Rev. Mr. Howland was formerly principal of Killingly High school. His wife is Sarah (Chollar) Howland, daughter of Deacon W. H. Chollar, of Broad street. ..In the letter referred to he writes: ‘Intervention would probably call for an immense expenditure of blood and treasure and would make MexXico un- inhabitable for Americans for a long period of years. The Mexicans are a proud people. They value peace, but they value national liberty and inde- pendence far more. Crossing the bor- der with an armed force would be a declaration of war, and nearly every Mexican would feel called upon to re- sist, hinder and destroy, if not kill; and no capitulation would be recog- nized by those not participating di- rectly in it. The immense territory would probably have to be conquered, plece by piece, and heavily policed, and even then there would be, almost certainly, an interminable guerrilla warfare.” Fine Fishing in Maine. Cards received Tuesday from War- den W. I Bullard, who with Mrs. Bullard is at Kennabago lake, Maine, announce that he is enjoying some splendid trout and salmon fishing and that some of the catches of the beau- ties show 'fish weighing several pounds.

Con- tradicts Dispatch Concerning Arbi- tration—Colchester Inquirer May Have Unidentified Body Exhumed— D. A, R. Committees Announced. Fred Ellery, chairman of the strike committee of the operatives of the French River Textile company, asked for a denial Wednesday of the state- ment in a press despatch from this city that the striking workers had asked for arbitration of the points at which they are at odds with the company, with Mayor Archibald Maedonald act- ing as mediator. No one with the au- thority to do so, declared Mr. Ellery, has made any such request as was in- dicated in the despatch. Mr. Ellery made it perfectly clear that the sirikers are not officially com- mitted to recede one jot from the po- sition they took at the beginning of the strike as to the concessions de- manded. They are still awaiting the granting of these demands by the company. The third week of the strike will come to an end at 4 o’clock this (Wed- nesday) afternoon. From all that couid be gathered from the strikers Tuesday it was evident that they are just as determined as at the first’ moment to remain out until they get the conces- sions they are asking for. At the silent plant in Mechanicsvilie the picket lne is rigidly maintained by the strikers. There has been no de- sertion from their ranks and they ex- pect none. Families are moving aw from there, but tenements of the com- pany continue to be occupied by peo- ple who have been employed in the mill. The appeal of the local organization of the I. W. W. for aid from locals in other mill centers in New England has commenced to be effective and the strikers are beginning to receive mon- ey payments from variou$ cities and villages. Baltic is one of the miil towns in this section from which a weekly payment of about $30 is slated. ‘Webster is also generous, as is the Olneyville section of Providence, Mid- dleboro, Mass., and other textile cen- ters in Massachusetts. Willimantic and Jewett City two places where thare are organizations of the I. W. W., are not as yet on the contributing list. Moos- up is also absent from the group of towns sending money here.

The matrimonial business in town this week has shown a falling off from the record that was made here last week, but the couples are still coming here from neighboring states. Returns at the office of the town clerk show that James McElhenney, 26, and Freda Stine, 23, both claiming their home as Webster, were married by Rev. Mr, Studley of the Putnam Methodist church.
