Rose Given Jail Sentence—Rapid Fire Drill at Cottrell Plant, ; The thunder and lightning of 'Wedl- ley night was untsually severe at int View and vieinity, and it was midnight before the cottagers 1 get peaceful rest. The flrst crash kened Lewls Stanton, teller of the :.,ng;un ;l.;rut mpuyfi‘wh». with family, occupying his, cottage, emian.

Stanton was knocked down gnd partially stunned. One of the Reéves girls was hurled across the room and &l In the cottage WePe more or less stunned. The lightning struck the flagpole on top of the tower, then scattered into room in the house, doing con- damege to the cottage, fur- niture amd household utensils, The tower was smashed, the roof partly torn and shingles were ripped from roof and sides of the cottage. aiso struck an electrig light near the cottage of Frank Fioney of Summit, N. J., and oceupied by Mr. and Mrs. Finney, three chil- dren and two maids. The lightning entered the cottage by the electric light wire youte, but did not do much dam- age. lLast season the Finney family occupded the Log Cabdin at Pleasant View when it was struck by lightning, and Mrs, Pinney was painfully injured. The family is cccupying their own new cottage for the first time the present AeASON. The Rhode lsland members of th Perry centennéal commission, of which | Sepator Louis W, Arnold of Wester] is a member, will attend the ann meeting of the National Perry Centen- | ntal commisston at Put-in Bay, Ohio, | - September 9, 10 and 11. Rhode Island is particularly interested in this matter as Commodore Perry was one of its native heroes, an it has been asserted by historians that everyone of the ves- selg In Perry’s fleet was commanded by & Rhode Islender when he woa his great victory, Mre. Mary Sullivan, mother of Dan- | el B. Sullivan, can store, in Westerly, died Wednes- | day morning at her home in Stewart street, New London. Bhe was the widow, James Sulli- van and is survived seven sons, | James C. a policeman, and county | president Ancient Order Hiberians; Florence, a gardener; Mithael J.,, en- gaged In the printing, business and district deputy of Knights of Colum- bug, all of New London; John C. of Dublin, Patrick J, in the dry goods business, Chicago; Martin J. in dry goods bustness, Hartford; and Daniel R, manager of Mohican store, West- erly, and three daughters, Miss Mary, New London; Mrs. Phillp Sullivan of New London, and Miss Ella F. Sullivan of Chicago. Mrs, Sulivan was the mother of thir- teen children and grandmother to for- ty-ome, af whom thirty-five grandchil- dren are living. The local sentiment in favor of the ranite block pavement over the vitri- lod brick pavement, by reason of gran- ite pavers being a home industry, will not prevail when it comes to paving | that section of the Broad street bridge over the Pawcatuck river that is with- in the Bmits of the town of Westerly. ‘Therefors the patchwork effect will be | eliminated. portion of the bridge in the town of Stonington was paved | brick about three years ago, and | is in fully as good condition as wl ladd, and it is probable that the styfe of vitried brick will be used on the Westerly section of the bridge The track extension on the bridge, to commect the Groton-Stonington trol- tracks with those of the Pawcatuck | Velley, 1s completed. The ties are laid on the girders of the bridge and the section of the road bed is of solid con- crete from the dome support between | the girders to the surface of the ties. The rails are of just the right height to accommodate the brick pavement. The space that will be used for brick road surface will be filled in with | earth, thoroughly tamped, until the end of the summer season, when the trafiic 8 i ] on the bridge will be decreased. Then | the modern brick pavement will be laid | with as little publie Inconvenience as possible, H. H. Lyster, representing the Inter- General Construction company of New York, arrived in Westerly on Thursday, to supervise in behalf of the ocontractors the construction of the new postoffice bullding. Excavation for the foundation has been in progress several days and the cellar level has been reached in some parts of the site, but no gravel suitable for foundation has yet been found except in the north- east corper. Tests wege made at the southwest corner of the site un the direction of Mr. Lyster and Leslie Mc- Quilkin, the government supervisor, on Thursday. The test pit was extended to the level of the Pawcatuck river and a large stratum of sand was reached, but no gravel. The comtractor in submitting bid for | the work, did so with the understand- ing that there was from three to four ! feet of gravel all over the site and | eomiract was awarded on that Therefore, if additional excavation is | required to get proper footing for the | building, that work will be done at the expense of the government and outside of the regmiar contract price. 8o _far as goes, the jurisdiction of the Third district court, the embez- zlement charge against Peter M. Rose was dlsposed of Friday, when Judge Oftver H. Willlams adjudged him guil- ty amd gemtenced him to thirty days in the ce county jail and to pay & fine of $100 and costs. Appeal was_taken to the superior court and | bonds of $300 furnished. The argu- ments in this case were made by Town | Bolicitor Harry B. Agard for the state snd Judge John W. Sweeney for de- fendant on Friday of last week, the latter taking advantage of many tech- nk:':\m of ‘law in behalf of his cli- en: Some time ago, the police of West- erly made liquor raids on three places in Bradford, and, as no owner ap- peared, the charged. Bquors were ordered dis- Subsequently, the owners ‘were arrested, convicted and sentenced on the charge of selling Intoxicating Nquors fllegally.

Captain Hooper, promoted from Ne. 1 man on Block Islang is in charge at Green Hill. Capt. Herbert M. Knowles of Wake- fleld, district superintendent, says there is to be no change in the list of captains at the stations, which he con- siders a benefit to the service, but nec- essarily there are a few shifts in the crews.

Concerning the reunion of Class of 1881 =a correspondent writes the Waterbury American: After 31 years this class makes the record of having only three that have answered the last call, and only three of the living mem- bers not heard from. This reunion took the form of a house-party at Mystic, the summer home of Mrs. Clara Hammond McGuigan, superintendent of the Oral school for the Deaf. The location and assoclations were ideal such a gathering. Beside the hostess those present were: Mrs. Hlea- nor Brown Rosseter, Gujlford, Conn.! Mrs. Hattle Brown Humphrey, Win- ester, Conn.; Mrs. Mary Howe, Win- , Conn., Mrs. Lottie Manrose Eim- b Orange, Mass., Mrs. Minnie Pot- ter Holmes Longmeadow, Mass., F. Theopilus Liefleld, former Consul to , Brooklyn, N, Y. Letters; n 12 others were recelved. The hostess at the 'Sunday morning break- fast wore her graduation gown un- changed and it proved even more be- coming than in '81. Another member of the class wore the class color. The rain only added to the pleasure as the open fire proved conducive to remin- isces, and many a good story was told, No life had been barren of experiences and some had traveled extensively, The former consul had written a book, “Faces and Phases of German Life,” st pl ev sen,” he presented each classmate with a copy. Souvenirs of baskets made in the school were also recelved. Two had had the pleasure of graduating daughters in the same class at Mt. Holyoke, Others were justly proud of thelr college sons and daughters, The spinsters were making good in many lines of work, One match was made in this class, Dr. and Mrs. Wright of the state of Washington, who hold the honor of being the first grandpa and grandma in the class, A e at most delightful call was made on Miss Celestia Bush at Nlantic, a former teacher in history, A mes- sage was sent the class from their teacher in mathematics, Miss M. Jen- nie Atwood of Bristol. Those present were 80 enthusiastic over the reunion that another may soon follow. STONINGTON. Matter of Sidewalks to Be Acted Upon —Dr. and Mrs. C.

We heard much two years ago about “the old guard,” the name derisively conferred on a set of republican poi- ticiang in New York who could not dle and would not surrender. The linger- ing memaries of the campaign of 1912 inspire soms of the followers of Rooke- velt today to style themselves ‘“the new guard.” If they must seek Na- poleonic temninelogy for third party uss, why do they net go to an au- thorized lexicon? There was no “new guard” in Napoleon's army, His guard as it progrepsed and developed was divided into the old guard, the young guard and the middle guard, The mid- dle guard cams last in its organiza- tien, All three of these guards were e.

Perhaps on second thought, the third party people had better drop the Napoleonic analogy al- together., Besideg the references to Elba, Moscow, Waterlool and 8t Helena that protrude themselves upon the imagination of anybody who thinks of the Napoleon era the objection that should occur to the third party is that whatever the division of the guard is mentioned it calls up traditions of the stanchest loyalty to the old cause and the most chivairous disinterestedness. —Boston Transcript.
