STUNNED BY LIGHTNING. Carl Mathewson of Plainfield Abls to Work Friday—Conductor Taken to Hospital. Carl Mathewson, who was stummed M'QUILLAN IN JAIL. by lightning at Plainfield during the o X2 storm of Thursday afternoon, was able to be about his duties in the station at the place Friday. ‘Reports from Plainfield were to the effect that the locompotive fireman who was rendered unconscious by lightning during the| storm was unable to stick te his werk after reaching Oneco, though he had the nerve'to try to stay out for the|honze, whole i, and had to be relieved.

Mark MoQuillan, rounder, was ar- resied by Captain Marray Friday as the man who has been smashing sa- lovm windows in Putnam-and stealing him. He was put into an automobile, brought here and locked up. McQuillan's latest window breaking stunt was pulled off during the early hours of Friday merning. The Chap- delaine saloon on South Main street was the object of his attack. He vis- ited the place about 1 o'clock in the morning, -smashed out a window_ with a big sione and stole some bottled goods. At gbout 3 m. he returned, broke out anather window and took some more of the goods displayed. His stealings for the night totaled eight bottles of wine, ihree bottles of whis- key and one bottle of brandy. McQuillan's arrest was brought about through information that Cap- taln Murray was able to obtain from other tramps who had hélped the pris- oner drink up the stuff he had stolen. They also charge . that McQuillan broke out the window in Gagne's sa- loon on Pomfrei street one night this week, doing comsiderable damage. The tramps who were willing to tell the police .about ‘McQuillan’s operations were kind enough to say for him that he had been liberal in dispensing the Stolen goods. It is understood that the window breaking stunt is an old game of the arrested man and that he was once sent ts jail in Brooklyn from Danielson for doing the trick in that town. At a session of city court Fridav nignt_ M:=Quillan . was charged with breaking and entering the two saloons. He pleaded guilty to breaking into the Chapdelaine place and not guilty to breaking into the Gagne place. Judge Fuller bound him over to the Septem- ber term of the superior court for Windham county, fixing his bonds at $300, which he was unable to furnish, and was taken to the jail at Brooklyn to await trial. Local Intersst in Douglas Camp lflut- ing. The plan to give $1.000 to the church danomination that has the largest representation on a ceriain date this year at the Douglas meeting, which is to be heid fa“n‘: July 19 to July 29, is going .to attract an unusually lareg number of people from this part of Connecticut, and the largest gathering ever ussembled on th> camp grounds is anticipated. George M. Morse of this city is presi- dent of the camp meeting association, the members of the board of dircetors being scattered over southern New England. During the past year two new kitch- ens have been built on ths camp grounds. These are located near the dining hall. The kitchens are furnish- ed with stoves and lockers and will be for the fres use of these In the camp who prefer to cook their ewn meals, Tents are to be erected this week for the accommodation of those who cannot secure quarters at the assaci tien lodging houses and cottages, Those wha are already at the camp ground will observe today (Saturday) as a day of prayer and fasting, to ask God's blessing upon the meetings which are 10 open a week hence.

Mahan have been crowned with success and now all hats in New London are off to him and even the ladies make courtesies of appreclation, It was the mayor-senator who con- ceived the idea that the development of New London harbor as a terminal for ocean steamships would not be on- ly beneficial to his native city but to the whole ~state and sucecessfully planned a fmovement that regulted in the state making an appropriation of $1,000.000 for the purpose. It was a big undertaking for the mayeor-senator but there is nothing so large but what he is able to undertake. He entered into the matter with his characteris- tic energy and worked night and day. His efforts ‘were secogded by men of prominence throughout the state a nd he was supperted by all the progressive members of the general asembly who realized that what was good for the only har- bor worthy the name in the state was gond for the whole stats. When the appropriation was made there was a blg hawser attached that left the whole matter of using the appropria- tion with a commission composed of judiclous and representative citizens, with the governor, the mayor and Frank Valentine Chappell, of New London, in the membership. It was conditioned that the commission giv- ing the matter the closest investiga- tion,. visit other seaport cities and con- | sult with experts in that speclal line, | before coming to decision whether it | was for the best interests of the state ! to spend the appropriation.

Mayor Mahan Wn Busy on Project Night and Day— Further Appropriation Made for the City Hall Remodel- ing—Prediction That Change Will Cost $115,000— The First Police Force—Historical Facts Should Be The commission complied fully with the conditions, and after careful and conservative examination and investi- gation covering a period of a year and a half, finally unanimously concluded that the appropriation be expended. A sub-committee is now considermg the best mode of procedure and will report to the commission within two weeks. It is then expected that the actual work ,of development will be commenced and until aftér that meet- ing is held the membership of the commission have no information for the general public, as there is no de- sire to anticipate the report of the sub-committee. It i known, however, that plans have been drawn for the general work of erection of one or more modern equipped piers, and that as- surance has been given by one or more steamship companies”that New London w'll be utilized as a terminal. It is also known that the: railroad companies entering in New London are planning to co-operate with the steamship lines and that in conse- quence much of the import and export traffic will be diverted by way of New London, The prospects are now assuringe that New London harbor, the only real one in the state and one of the best on the Atlantic coast will be given its proper rating and that the whole state will be benefitted. In Massachusetis larger appropriation’ has been made by the state for the development Boston harbor and the same is 1n§ of the relationship of Rhode Islan with Providence. So what is good for Massachusetts and Rhode Isiand will be good for Connecticut. Naturally, New London will be the chief beneficiary, and in a few vears the life-long talk about New London being a dead city, when by reason of its npatural advantages and fine ‘harbor it should be the largest city m the state, will be among the things that were and are no more. Just at this time when there is gen- eral elation over that million dollars appropriation, it might not be ad- visable to say much of that altered over and enlarged city hall proposi- tion and the way it was worked from its inception to the present time. At the outset of construction, to make no reference to the original and sen- sible plan of the then Mayor Arm- strong in regard to the city hall building, there was blunder and since then there has been a serles of blunders, or something even worse. Under the present plane it was sup- posed that the expense would not be in excess of $65.000, as it was so stat- ed at the time the appropriation or rather the isuance of bonds was wot- ed. The work of preparation was started In a way new to those who have to do with the construction of publie or any other buildings. The excavation was commenced without consideration of the final cost and left tha property in siuch eondition that the work must continue if the cost was to be half a million as the city could not (Oontinued on Page Sixteem.) ‘Why Physicians Recommend Casteria unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey’s Cordial, etc. Thisisa ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, C pharmaceutical socicties and medical authorities.
