In regard to the relatives of Thomas A. Brackett, 35, who was killed on the Central Vermont railroad on Fri- day morning, the Worcester police have not yet been able to locate any in that city. Undertaker Gager still holds the body in his morgue, Chief David A. Matthews of the Worcester police did, however, send the information that Brackett has a father in Sailor's Snug Harbor on Staten Island, N. Y. a brother, John Brackett of Boston, a sister, Mrs. Ab- ble Seavey of Walsboro, Me., and an aunt, Mrs, Gregory of Rockland, Me. Coroner F. H. Brown, acting on this information, despatched letters to the relatives on Saturday, so that a re- ply may be expected today. A Worcester man, Michael J. Gulley, said that he remembered Brackett on the firing line In_the Spanish war as a private in the Twenty-second Mass. infantry and that he wished to find his discharge papers, which would entitle him to a respectable burial and a head stone over his grave Instead of being buried at the expense of the state as will be the case if none of his rela- tives are heard from. BAKERS AT THE LAKE. Party of Seven Proved Prowess at Pulling Out Fish, A party of seven bakers from the Providence bakery of this city enjoyed a week end fishing trip to Gardner lake this week, going out at 6o’cloc k Saturday evening and passing the night on the lake.

WMoses H. Wiloox Paid Costs $18 and Was Let Go Saturday—No Evidence Against Him. On recommendation of Prosecuting Attorney Hewitt the complaint against Moses H. Wilcox of Quiambaug, charged with violation of the lobster laws on information furnished by Game Wardens Walter M. Davis and B. Lynn Pease, was nolled by Judge W. A. Breed in 8tonington town court Saturday morning upon payment of costs amounting to $18, and it is an- ticipated that this brings an end to the investigations of Pease and Davis in that vieinity. The motion to nolle was made at the request of Fisheries and Game Commissioners Geer and Davis and concurred in by Judge Herbert D. Rathbun and Attorney Abel P. Tanner, counsel for Mr. Wil- pox. It 1is possible, however, that another arrest will be made on In- formation from the same source with regard to a Portuguese lobsterman in Stonington. n recommending to the court Satur- day morning that the case against Mr, Wilcox be nolled upon payment of costs, Prosecuting Attorney Hewitt stated that all the cases as the result of recent investigations had been progecuted by him on complaint and evidence furnished by the two game wardens, Pease and Davis. He said ¢hat the commissioners had offered to furnish a lawyer and prosecute, but that he had told them that he fntended to @0 his duty in acting as prosecutor, as has been his custom and his duty in all other cemplaints Jodged with him for viclations of the law within the jurisdiction of the Ston- !ngan eourt, e added alse that the evidenes @hat had been furnished him had not been strong enough te conviet, “In the cese against Meses H, Wilcox,” coneluded Mr, Hewitt, “the aceused is eharged with giving Pease shert lob- sters; but I am given te understand that this evidence will be centradict- ed by the witnesses that will be sum- moned In the defense, and I could not expect your honmor to believe the evidence furnished by these two war- dens against the evidence that would be submitted by three respected citi- zens of the town, and I therefore rec- ommend that the case be nolled upon payment of costs.” The court then allowed Commis- sioner Davis time to say that his work fn the fulfillment of his duties as a commissioner of fisheries and game was unpleasant in many respects. “It 18 hard,” he said, “to get wardens whom we can trust explicitly; but I rcan recommend both Davis and Pease as Dbeing absolutely nonest. All 1 wish is that fisheremn would abide by the law. I would much rather not be obliged to investigate and bring charges against any of them; but it is a fact that all along this shore of New London county we have infor- mation furnished us about the taking of short lobsters and we intend to see that the laws of this state be en- forced wherever this is expected of us. I have agreed to abide by the decision of Attorney Hewitt in asking ‘that this case be nolled.” POMONA GRANGE MEETING AT PALMERTOWN THURSDAY Professors Gulley and Kirkpatrick of Storrs Will Speak—Other Features on Lesturer’s Programms.

The weather man was exceptionally good to St. John's Holy Name society of Fitchville Saturday afternoon and night by withholding the downpour of raln until 11 o'clock, after all the con- tests had been run off and the crowd had assembled in Palmer hall for the social. Through the courtesy of the Palmer Bros. company a large team conveyed St. Mary's T. A. and B. society and a large number of their friends from the 1.45 car at Yantic to the ball grounds near the Catholic church, which Nelson Stark had allowed for the use of the game. Marra in Great Form. The ball game between the local and St. Mary’s T. A. and B. society was not called until about 3 p. m, awalting one of the members of the vigiting team, and was stopped at the end of the seventh to allow the other contests to be held. The locals were handicapped by an accident to Danny Marra, the local twirler, who cut the top of the index finger of the left hand off Friday with a buzz saw, but gamely went in and pitched a fine game. Score by innings: R.H. 512106 %14 7 St. Mary's ....0001000—1 3 Marra allowed two bases on balls and struck out 8, while Soboleski al- lowed six free passes and struck out three.

After the game the ctowd adjourned to the green near Palmer hall where the other contests were held. The first on the programme was the 200 yard dash. There were ten en- tries started. J. Monte of Norwich came to the tape first, but a protest was made that Monte fouled Atherson of New York. A prolonged argument followed. The judge ordered it no race and ordered it to be run over. ‘When the race was called for later only Atherson and Marra were willing to sfart, and the race was not run. The prize, gold cuff links, is yet in the possession of the promoter. The 100 yard dash went off smooth- 1y, there being siv to start. Atherson won the prize in this event, a gold fountain pen, receiving much com- ment by the excellent showing he made. No time was kept of the two running’ events, owing to the course. The jumps occupled the attention of the crowd next, a steel fishing rod be- ing presented the one winning the most points in the three jumps. There were three entries. In the hop, skip and a jump, Atherson of New York made 38 feet § 1-2 inches. The second best was by Monte who made 36 feet 1 fnch. In the standing broad jump Marra made 9 feet 7 inches, Atherson and Bentley making 8 feet 8 inches each. The running broad jump was won by Marra with 17 feet. Marra got the fishing rod.

Brown, Thomes Foley and Fred Kingsley—got the drop on Captain Marra’s team—A. Chapman, J. Foley, J. S. Sullivan, A. Avery and Captain Marra—and after two minutes of hard work were given a box of cigars for the victory over Captain Marra’s team, © events for boys were not run off as the entries withdrew, The tub race afforded the most amusement and feur of the youngsters started to paddle across the pond. James Kelley and Franeis Kelley won first and second while Jim Foley pad- dled in third. Deac Kelley succeeded in getting quarter way across before his tub capsized. 4 Pocket knives were given the win- s event finished the programme and iater dancing was indulged in, the hail being crowded to standing room. 1 eary’s orchestra furnished music and Professor Congdon prompted. The affalr was a success and much credit is due the members of the Children of Mary who assisted the, re- freshment committee of the Holy Name society in serving. A box of cigars was won by M.

It stands to reason that this alkalold, when taken in daily doses of six or more gralns, must exert a harmful ac- tion on the nervous circulato and digestive systems.
