The result of the conference was re- ported by the strike committee to the strikers at a m; meeting held Sat- urday evening. he meeting lasted about two. hours and is said to have been a most interesting session. “The proposition of the silk company's di- rectors, which was an offer of a 5 per cent. {increase, it is understood, al- though no one could be reached who would make that as an officlal state- ment, was thoroughly discussed by the strikers at their mass meeting and finally, being put to a vote, was. Te- jected by the strikere. It is understood that the result of the feilure of the strikers to take the increase offered will be reported back to the officials of the Windham Silk company this (Monday) morning. The increase was offered, it is said, if the | strikers would go back to work Mon- day morning.

Mr. Hammond had just got in his last load of hay as the fire broke out.

Officer Louis Paul- hus, who was on the Main street beat at the time, heard the cry, and so dic Harry Qdie, clerk of the Hotel Hook- er. An Investigation disclosed the fact that the fire was in the hotel barber shop in the basement of the Hotel Hooker and was blazing away in good shape. E., A, Winter, proprietor of the house, procured a pinch bar and the window was pried open after the glass had been broken and the window catch turned. The fire, which was beiching forth from spitting wires in the wood- work near the gas and electric light chandelier upon the mirror, was soon smothered with a barber's apron or throw. The damage was slight. Protests Against Ettor's Imprisonment. The Willimantic local of the I W. W. held a largely attended meeting Sunday afternoon.

PUTNAM Old Hemmond Homestead in Hampton troyed by Fire—Refused Here, James Bcott Gets License and Bride in Danielson—High School Expecting Record Class in Fall. Fire destroyed the old Hammond homestead and two barns Saturday, doing damage estimated as high as $7,500, In Hampton, east of Elliott Sta- tion. The fire was of uncertain origin, bu: started in the horse barn. The property has been in the family of Senator George A. Hammond of this city for at least 100 years, he said Sat- urday, after returning from viewing the destruction that had been wrought. The homestead has been occupied by Senator Hammond's brother, ex-Rep- resentative Wiiliam A. Hammond, and family. The latter's daughter, Helen, who is home from Boston, got out the horses. The fire started about 11 o'clock Saturday morning. Along with the buildings that were burned 25 cords of seasoned wood went up in smoke, and Mr. Hammond also lost his ice supply. Much of the furniture that was in the house was gotten out. The old homestead has been known to four generations of Huwaplon people and was a landmark familfar to many who have traveled through that terri- tory. TO GROW OLD FASY, One Secret May Be Explained by Cam- bridge, Mass., Young Woman from Matrimonial Experiences. This truly is a rapid age, and people grow old exceedingly fast, but few with the surprising rapidity of Miss Margaret Green of Cambridge, Mass. who at 1030 a. m. on Saturday In Putnam was 19 years of age and a half hour later in Danlelson had advanced to the venerable age of 21! But there was a very good reason for this, 1. e. she wanted to get married, and she had the young man with her. His name was James Scott, 21, at least his age has not been disputed, and he came from St. Johnsbury, Vt. He was two years older than Margaret when the couple reached Putnam, she his_equal in years when they arrived at Danielson, but he, nevertheless, was the more nervous of the pair when thelr matrimonial plans went to smash in this city, and it took the chic little Margaret to brace him up with a pat on the cheek and an assurance that everything would come out all right— this when Town Clerk David Flagg told them that they could not get a marriage license here because the bride who wished to be was not 21 years of age and did not have her parents’ consent to wed. Town Clerk Flagg ‘s a kind-hearted and considerate man. When he dis- covered that Margaret was not yet out of her 'teens he offered the suggestion that her parents' consent must be had before he could do anything for her and the expectant groom. At first Margaret said that she had her par- ents’ consent in writing, but when Mr, Flagg asked to see it Margaret said: “Oh, T haven't it with me.” Mr, Flagg then mentioned that the telephone might be used to get into eommunication with Mrs. Green at Cambridge. To this Margaret demure- ly s2id: *We couldn’'t do that: mamma is out for the day.” Then Mr. Flagg advised a hurry trip to Bosten for the consent. “You can get back to Put- nam by 6 p. m., he told Margaret, “and you can get married in time to return on a late train Matgaret couldn't #ee this at all. “Jimmy"” in the mean- time had wiited. The going was get- | ting hard and he had lost his nerve. { sphere that he and his sweetheart were up against a proposition. But dearie patted him on the cheek, as aforesaid, and told him everything would come out all right. He was a dejected voung man when he left Mr, Flage's office. A half hour later in the town clerk's office in Danieison he had perked up | some. Oh, ves, Margaret was of age; surest thing, you know. It will be noted in the Danfelson news that they got a license and were married by | Rev, W. D. Swaffleld. The marriage license that they received shows that the town clerk of Killingly was told that they were each 21 years of age. Selah! May they be happy for ever- more! But it is a safe bet that they are going to be some perturbed when they meet “mamma!” Lucky Recovery of Handbag. * Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Bamber of this city discovered after they had gotten away from Putnam »n a trolley car on Saturday morning that a hand- bag of Mrs. Bamber's was missing. They were going to Watch Hill for Sunday. Quite early Saturday morn- ing they were on Grove sireet, waiting for a southbound trolley" car. Some- thing frregular In the service delayed the car for nearly an hour, Mr. and Mrs. Bamber spending the time until it came along the'terrace at-the home of Judge and Mrs. F. F. Ryssell, When the car did come along Mrs. Bamber's bag was left behind. It is sald to have contalned a considerable sum of mon- ey. Coming out from his home a few minutes later, Judge Russell discovered the bag, recognized that it was the property of Mrs, Bamber, and return- ed it to her daughter, living at the home close by. On the trip down Mr. and Mrs. Bamber also became aware of the loss and were somewhat upset until a telephone inquiry brought them the information that the lost property | had been recovered and restored. 8pecimens of Native Grown Wheat. Calvin sglnnflv of the town of Thompson brought to Putnam Satur- day and presented to Attorney Charles L. Torrey a sheaf of wheat grown on the Spinney place. Mr, Bpinney has several acres of the wheat and it wiil be ready for harvesting next week. The wheat lg of excellent quality. Wheat growing is now a rare agricul- tural epecialty in this part of Con- necticut. There was a time, many years ago, when much whedt was grown on Windham county soil, but ite culture has come to be a thing of the past. It is stated, however, that the very few people in this vicinity who now pay any attention to wheat grow- ing and meet with success find in the market an opportunity to make a con- stderable profit at the present high prices above what it costs to produce the grain. Mrs. Wheelock Entertained Class. The following is from the calendar of the Congregational church for Sun- day: Twelve members of the Drop In class accepted the invitation of one of its members, Mrs. M.

JEWETT CITY Soldiers’ Monument Committes Or- ganizes—Unveiling Possible on Next Memorial Day—Old Home Waeek Proposed. The first meeting of the Soldiers’ monument committee for the purpose of organization was held in the select- men’'s room at the town hall Friday evening. George A. Haskell was elected chairman and E. H. Hiscox clerk and secretary. The clerk was instructed to corre- spond with Mr, Fanning of Worcester and invite him to come to Jewett City and meet the committee.

M-, Ballou and Father Hayes thought the unveiling could take place as soon as next Memorial-day. ‘Thers was hearty concurrence with Mr. Finn's idea that at that time it would be well to have a grand cele- bration and make a three days Old Home week, with all the good things and fine ceremonies that are suggested by taking notice of what other towns enjoy and benefit by such occaslons.

The failure to revive shipbuilding operations at Nat's Point shipyard has been a disappointment to a great many in Stonington and vicinity, who looked to see considerable doing there upon the leasing of the property by the R, T. Green company of Boston the first of the year. It was reported soon after the lease was made that the company intended building a drydock large enough to accommodate the sound steamers, and build several large ‘wooden vessels here besides doing con- siderable repair work, furnishing em- ployment to a number of shipbuilders and other less skilled laborers. But so far there has been nothing to it. The big contracts reported did not materi- alize and the yard has seen little act- ivity except in the construction of row boats and the installation of a few motors in launches. It is understood that W. F. Green, who has had charge of things here, expects to return to Boston, and there is no immediaje prospect of any shipbuilding here. Thers is a possibility yet that the Boston concern may have use for Nat's Point yard, with its conwenient ) tion for shipbullding and repair work and thera is still some hope of & re- newal of activities here. Little Interest in Local Politics. The nomination of the republicas borough ticket does not seem to have caused a great deal of discussion thuft far, nor has it tended to arouse any more than usual interest in borough polities, One of the nominees for bur- gess stated that he went into the thing because he thought that some- thing ought to be done to make a lit- tle more interest in borough politics, recalling the fact that frequently only one ticket—the democratic—is placed in the field for the annual election. ‘Personal Interests.
