NORWICH MEMORIAL DAY FLOWERS SCARGE Dark and Cold Weather of This Week Has Retarded the Blooms—Will Embarrass Those Who Need Blossoms For Cemetery Decorations. Householders who watched hopefully for a bright, warm, sunshiny day, with a theught for the flowers that are needed for Memorial day, were doomed to disappointment on Wednesday, and the prospect is for a shortage of bleoms te be used for the annual dec- orating of the eoldiers’ graves. Gar- deners and dorists say that this year the season is a peculiar one. The re- cent succession of cold, dark days has retarded the development of the blos- soms which could ordinarily be expect- ed at this time, while the few warm days that preceded this perfod pushed other plants ahead so that they have blossomed and are gone. Memorial day this year seems to come just in Dbetween two periods of blossoming, as the season may be sald to be out of Joint. The snowballs, which can usually oe relied upon for a good share in the Memorial day decorations, are mostly green at the present time, but if Tues- day and Wednesday had been good warm days they would have been out just right. The Ilacs, which are largely used in ordinary seasonms, felt the effect of the few warm days and blossomed early. They have gone by now. Wistaria was blossoming in the early part of the week, but this is a poor flower to use, as is wilts so quickly, and anyway the rain has knocked these Ibossoms all to pieces In a number of gardens iris is blos- soming nicely and can be used for the decorations. To supplement the garden flowers, the wild flowers are sometimes used, but these have failed this year also Laurel, which is often largely relied upon, is only budding now, it ported. There is the so-calied swamp apple and dogwood to be found in the woods. aleo from the rain. As in former years. the Grand Army men will welcome any contributions of flowers for the work in decorating which they have to do and the flowers will be received today at the Buckins- ham Memorial at any time during the afternoon and evening.

ULTIMATUM TO STRIKING SILK WEAVERS lssusd by Brainerd & Armstrong at | Mahan Said to Be Out for the Job for New London—Expect to Start Mill | Monday. The Brainerd & Armstrong company at New London issued an ultimatum to the striking silk weavers Wednes- day. . The company declines to grant the 15 per cent. Increase in wages and announces that it will resume opera- tions in its weaving department on Monday next. The company promises protection to any of its old employes who desire to return to work and in event of failure to secure a sufficient number will get weavers from out of town. BURNS WERE FATAL. Miss Ruby Lewis, Daughter of C. F. Lewis, of This City, Dies in New London Hospital. Miss Ruby Lewis, the 21 year old daughter of Charles F. Lewis, of this city, died at the Lawrence hospital in New London Wednesday afternoon from burns received Tuesday night, when her clothing took fire from a lighted candle which she was carrying. The accident which culminated in the Foung woman's sad death occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Leech in Broad streei, Groton. Mrs. Leech recently gave birth to a child, and Mies Lewis assisted the housework and acted in the capacity f nurse during Mrs. Leech's illness st midnight Tuesday night Miss _ewis was moving about the house with the lighted candle in her hand when her clothing became ignited from the flame of the candle. Instantly her garmenis were ablaze and she was enveloped in flames. Mr. Leech heard her crics. Grasping the situation, he succeeded in smothering the flames, but not before she had received horri- bie burns about her face, arms and Emergency treatment was given the ¥o woman and during_the night she suffered intense pain. Wednesday morning she was taken to the Law- where everything know rence hospital, to medical science was done to save her life. But the task was useless and her suffering came to an end Wednes- day afternoon The flames from Miss Lewis' cloth- spread to the furniture in the room where the accident happened. After smothering the flames in which Miss Lewis was enveloped, Mr. Leech with the assistance of Walter Bud- dington. who occupies the tenement sbove, turnad their attention to ex- tinguishing the fire in the room, and ing fought the blaze successfully before M damage had been done.

A Hartford special to the New Ha- ven Register Wednesday said | During the debate on the measure | providing for the appointment of minor | court judges by the governor, which, | by the wa defeated by a vote of 100 to 93, the name of Governor Bald- win was used by Representative | for the first time | minence in the | for the United Thoms of Waterbury by any democrat of state as a candidat States senate in 1915. This statement was forced from the gentleman from Waterbury following a | remark by Majority Leader Healy that | Governor Baldwin will not always be governor, for the simple reason that | the democrats do not want him any longer. Mr. Thoms said this is not so; that there is no_quarrel between the gov ernor and the democrats of the assem- | bly, and he remarked- further that if | the governor ran for the same ‘office again, as he may, the speaker had no doubt he would be elected. “But,” said he, “we may find that we will need him as United States senator.” Coming from Mr. Thoms,who is fair- ly close to the governor, that is as| close as any democrat, stirred up. siderable political conversation abou the corridors and the hotels here last night and was accepted as a plain statement of the fact that the gover- nor would like to be sent to the United States senate. The senators to be chosen henceforth will be elected by popuiar vote instead of by the legislature as heretofore, but the nominee of the democratic will be placed before the people as a te con- be the delegates to that convention who will name the ndidate, and for that reason it is said that if the governor has any han- kering to go to the senate his friends ought to get busy. Coming down to hardpan, there is considerably more talk of Congress- Mahan for senator than there is of Governor Baldwin for the same place. Mr. Mahan has two years before him in congress in which to make a political stake for himself and upon which he can ask for some little vation in the political line, that is, of course, if he makes good, and few doubt that he will While he won't talk, it is pretty well established tha* he would not turn down a nomination as senator. In fact, there are some folks living over New London county way who know the astute Bryan F. who say that already he and his clos- est friends are working in perfect ha mony to land this nomination. vention. It will DEER DOING DAMAGE. Eat Dahlia Bulbs, Tulips and Sweet Peas in Gardens. Farmers have been complaining con- siderably lately about the amount of damage that is being done their crops by the deer all through this end of the | state. The animals were never more plen- tiful than they are this spring, and the damage to growing crops is vor- respondingly large. Flower xardens as well as vegetable gardens are suf fering, for the deer is apparently as fond of dahlias as he is of onions. At Farmholme, the summer place of Miss Mary Sharswood of New London, several dollars’ worth of valuable dah- lia bulbs have been destroyed and the deer have also eaten from tulip beds, ete. At Mrs. Wolcott Main’s in We- | quetequock = herd of five deer played | havoc with her flower garden, spoil- | ing all the sweet peas, dahlias and other flowers. Last Saturday night | the trolley killed a deer near the bridge at Wequetequock and the fish | and game commissioners gave the crew of the car permission to use the ani- mal. As a result Motorman Clyde Batty | and several of his friends are enjoy- ing venison this week. The farmers are, howover, taking the matter seri- ously, as their loss so far this season has been considerable, and will of | course be a great deal heavier as the season advances unless drastic meas- ures are taken.
