It is probable that the persons who were asleep upon the upper floor of the tenement house at the corner of Water and Cottage streets Christmas eve when the fire on the lower floor was discovered would have burned to death had it not been for the sharp eyes of Conductor Frank Preston, who saw it from the trolley car that was coming up through Cottage street af the time. DIED SUDDENLY. Frank P. Warren Has Apoplectic Shock and Dies With an Hour. Dan‘elson was shocked Thursday afternoon by the announcement of the sudden death of Hon. Frank P. War- ren, one of the foremost citizens of this part of eastern Connecticut. Mr. Warren was stricken with apoplexy at his home on Broad street at about 11.30. He was seated in a chair and engaged in removing his overshoes when seized with the attack which lerminated fataily an hour afterward. Mr. Warren had been feeling espe- cially well Christmas and this was also true as to his conditlon on Thursday morning. The attack came so suddenly and with such severity as to cause him to immediately lapse into unconsciousness. Dr. George M.

No man who has lived in Killingly has commanded greater degree of respect than Frank P. Warren; no man has more fully deserved it than he. An ideal of manhood that the world eldom finds, was as near- d in his character as one s it in this life. A native lilingly and a lifelong resi- n its confines, he was from t years and at every stage career all that is best in hu- dent with his earlie of his manity. Mr. Warren was the and Lucretia (Pa was born Nov. His education received in schools of Killingly and in n's high school and augmented throughout life by careful study of many subjects. Ju 9, he was married to Miss of Wise n, who survives nest Ross War- , 1888, who is a culty Worcester 0 came here a few 1d the holiday recess on of Edward Warren 52, in this with his parents During nearly ail of the active years of his life Mr. Warren was engaged in the lumber business on an extensive scale, meeting wi unusual degree 1 success, and he also con- ducted a sawmill at Killingly Center, not far from the Warren family home- stead, where he had always lived un- til his new on Broad street, in Danielson, mpleted and occu- pied ttle more At the time a was nim 0. of his death Warren mber busir scale formerly, as he was from active work. Warren was as far apart tendencles from unfair but popular ~olitician, it was Iding of political posi- steriing qualities be- carge best known both in his native and throughout Connecticut, Time and time again he was honored th clection to important official po- sitions. most frequently against his desires, for he s of a retiring dis- on and nev sought publicity. In a town that has always been strongiy republican Mr. Warren, who was al- V' unch democrat, has had but to agree to be a candidate to be as- sured of election, the only time he was ever defeated at the polis being at the ovember election this year, when he c nominee for sena. nty-eighth district, Killingly, Putnam, Woodstock, Thompson, Eastford and Ashford, and losing then by a narfow argin For three years he was a selectman of the tow he had served on the board of relief and as auditor, filllng the latter p fon at the time of his death. Four times Mr. Warren was elected a member of the Connecticut house of representatives from Killing- ly, serving through the sessions of 1884, 1905, 1907 and 1911, and serving through each session in the thorough- ly efficient and faithfu! way that all of his personal and pubiic duties were discharged. During the session of 1907 he was appointed a member of the epecial state school commission that investigated educational conditions throughout the state. At the state capitol his chief committee work was concerned with educational affairs, in which he was deeply Interested. For a number of terms he had been 2 member of the school committee of Killingly and for several years and up to his death chairman of the organiza- tion. He devoted a great deal of time to school interests and to the benefit of the educational system in town. In grange circles Mr. Warren was also well known and liked. He was a past master and past treasurer of the 1 grange. He was a director in the Windham County Savings bank and was affiliated with the A, O. U. W. Mr. Warren was one of the most prominent members of the Danielson Baptist church. While he was serving his last term in the legislature Mr. Warren'in April, 1911, was elected warden of khe bor- ough of Danielson, serving until April of the present year, when he resigned an opportunity for re-election after having given a business-like adminis- tration of the borough's affairs. Last winter Mr. Warren was stricken with an {llness that kept him confined to his home for many weeks, and by those who wera close to him it is be- lieved that this was the first break in his theretofore robust health and indi- cated that other attacks might be ex- pected subsequently. None came, however, until Thursday. It would undoubtedly be a difficult matter to find in the town of Killlng- ly a man who does not appreclate the great value that Mr. Warren has been to this town. His exceptional high standing was based upon his exceed- ingly honorable record. But there are those in Killingly, the unfortunate, the needy and the helpless, who will long love and bless his memory, for acts of kindness and cherity without number —deeds of benevolence that were mosat frequently covered up by him with words of admonition to the beneficla- ries that no word should be spoken by them of his gifts and help. Mr. Warren was primarily a Chris- tlan man. Hls daily precept was to follow In His footsteps. through tions th FUNERAL. Ann Thompson.

A man who recently became a bride- groom in this city, tells of seeking a license to marry from the officlal charged with the duty of issuing the same in the city of Boston. The pros- pective benedict wanted the license at once. “Nothing doing,” quoth the li- cense clerk, “you will have to walt five days.” “Can’t you fix it so I can get one at once?” inquired the swain. “No." “Where can I go to get a license to marry and get it quickly?” “You go to Putnam, Conn., and you'll have no trouble; that's the way every- body's doin’ it.” The advice was accepted.

Mr. Mason is a traveling salesman for a firm in which he is a partner and with which he has been identified since he was a boy. The territory he covers is Massachusetts, Rhode Island and and Mrs. Mary's | Connecticut. Mr. Mason is one of the prominent Rhode Islanders who has little sympathy for those in his state who are howling down the New Haven rallroad. In a letter recently published in a Pawtucket paper Mr. Mason to the advantage of the road compared the service that it is giving today with the far less satisfactory service that its patrons were getting ten years ago. Mr, Mason goes on record as stating that Mr. Mellen is ope of the most efficlent railroad heads in the {United States today. §. of V. May Leave Hall. A plan is on foot whereby the Sons of Veterans of Putnam may take the lease of a large hall in conjunction with the Woman's Relief corps, the Ladies of the G. A. R. and the G. A R, the plan including the idea of sup- ply free hall rent to the latter or- ganization as long as it may con- tinue to exiet as a post. The G. A. R. lost all of its furnishings in the big fire, a fact that is going to make some- what difficult their future plans for a hall unless the plan mentioned is put through. Guests at Danielson Wedding.
