Emeralds Won Holiday Game 4 fo 1— Pioneers Played a Fine Game, How- ever. - O - The Fourth in Wlllimuw very quiet. Outside of a few ly pic- nics, excursfonsg to the beaches, aute trips and the attractions at Seuth Cov. entry and Columbia lakes and the in- cidental noise of fire crackers, and tin horns, there was little to note of special interest. The feature of the day was the baseball game in the af- ternoon bétween the Emeralds of this city and the Ploneers of New Britain, Casey and Lefty Smith were the bat- tery for the home team and Noonan and Ahearn were the battery for the visitors, Johnson substituting for Ahearn in the last two Innings. It was a hard-fought battle on both sides, a pitchers’ contest the first half of the game. Both nines fielded superbly and Lefty Smith was no_disappoiniment to the home team in the pitcher's box. Ahearn, the visiters’ backstop, played a very strong game and Noonan wus a hard pitcher for the Emeralds until he weakened a little in the seventh in- ning. It looked as if the Pioneers would tie the score in the seventh in- ning, but their hopes were vanquished. The attendance was large and enthus- fastic. The score was 4 to 1 in favor of the Emeralds.

The city and town taxes having practically been paid in, the tax pay- ers are feeling generally well satisfied with the revaluation of their property as it was assessed on the 1912 list by the boards of the city and town asses- sors of which Dr. George E.

Fourth of July Jolly and Noisy. Danfelson’s night before celebration was sporadically nolsy, nothing like performances of previous years. Some instances of vandalism and indications of a lack of judgment between having a good time and destroying property were notedl. Young men.who mighc have had the key to the buflding for the asking if they really felt that their happiness depended upon ringing the beil in the School street sciool at mid- night, burst open the bulkhead door leading into the cellar to gain entrance to the building, damaging the door so badly that a mew one will have to be built. The young fellows respon- sible for this piece of foolishness like to pese as goody-goody boys when papa and mamma are around. too. Eighty Employed at Williamsville.

Many Petitioners Against Receivership for Windham County Savings Bank. Having had a week more than tors to the petitions protesting against _the appoiniment of a receiver for the Windham County Savings banl the directors of the institution will be able to go into court at Willlmanti: Monday with a formidable array of names, representing many scores of thousands of dollars in deposits. What the effect of these petitions may be in the matter to be decided is, of course, only conjectural, but they are expectcd to be at least indicative of the faith of the signers in the officials of the bank and of a desire to avold the heavy expense of a receivership. So anxious have been the great majority of depositors who have been gotfen in touch with to sign that in some vil lages hereabouts practically every de- positor has signed the petitions.

At Pomfret on the Fourth a cottage cated in the rear of the Grosvenor inn was purned to the ground. It is sup- posed that the fire was caused by someone having thrown a firecracker on the roof. The house is occupied by Mr. Grosvenor's head gardener, James Mann, and his family; they were away for the day and the house was closed at _the time the fire broke out. Some of the furniture in the house was saved, but all could not be taken out. The house was totally destroyed. The total loss on buildings and con- tents is estimated as in the neighbor- hood of $2,000. The building destroyed was known to Pomfret people as the Jepson nouse. It was removed from the old Jepson place to the location where it was burned and was remodeled about two years ago. ‘. The house was insured, the policy covering it having been issued only last week. The fire occurred about midday and was watched by the holi- day crowds sathered for the celebra- tion being held near by. Quiet Holiday—Little Disturbance. Capt. John Murray was pleased Fr: day over the way the celebrators con- ducted themselves over the Fourth, de- claring the day a model one in Put- nam. There were no arrests and there was very little disturbance other than is expected on' Independence day. In the clty the guietness of Sunday pre- vailed. " All business was suspended and “the streels were deserted during the afternoon. Hundreds employed the trolley lines in getting to places of amusement and others and in num- bers went over to Pomfret for the celebration there. On the trolley lines the travel was not as heavy southward from Pit- nam as had been expected, but the northbound cars carried capacity loads of persons bound mostly for the bicen- tennial celebration ~at Oxford, _the heavy riding on the Webster end of the local line making cars late between West Thompson and Dayville. The Fourth might accurately be de- scribed as nearly safe and sane in Putnam, though there were a few cele- brators using revolvers and blank car- tridges in a way that was dangerous. One _incident of special note marked the night before—the breaking of a plate glass window in Douty's store by the striking agalnst it of a ball from a skyrocket. This struck the window with such force as to smash out a large hole, near the top, and some of the splinters of glass were driven clear to the rear of the store. Happily, the danger of fire was avert- ed. The breaking of the window was purely accidental. Attractions at the Park. Putnam was well represented at Wildwood park, where the usual holi- day programme drew thousands. There was dancing, boating, baseball and a show at the park theatre and all of the attractions were well patronized, many also going to the park for the shade and to escape the blistering heat in the city. BULLET IN HIS HEEL. Nicola Casale Gets a Souvenir of the Night Before Celebration. At the Day Kimball hospital on the afternoon of the Fourth a flattened bullet was removed from the left heel of Nicola Casaz about 24, who was brought to the institution from Gros- venordale, the village in which he w: wounded, accidentally, while out with 1 party of friends late on the “night before.” An examination of Casale when he was brought to the hospital here showed that the bullet had entered the leg about half way between the knee and the ankle. An X-ray machine was brought into use to locate the bullet, which, it was discovered by Dr. E. F. Perry, had lodged in the heel, evident- ly having glanced after striking a bone in the leg. The bullet was removed. It was of . calibre. Casale does not know who shot him, as at the time when the accident oc- curred he was out with a party that were enjoying themselves. A sting in the leg attracted his attention from the mnoise of discharging weapons and an examination showed the bullet wound. It is thought he received the bullet from a revolver that was pointed tow- ard the ground by someone who had no other intention than to help make a y welcome to the Fourth. The ind is not regarded as dangerous unless complications arise. Patriotism at Pomfret. The Neighborhood association at Pomfret provided an excellent day’s programme for the townspeople who athered on the green at the street | Friday for the Fourth celebration and | there were many visitors from sur- rounding fowns. In the evening the display of fireworks was also an at- traction and one that drew automo- 5 towns. May Have Been Moosup Car. All effort in- this city and elsewhere {to trace the mysterious touring car |that smashed into the carriage in which Alex Dion and the Misses Gi- beault were riding on the Lake road near Dayville late Thursday night fail- ed Friday, but a clue that was received indicates that the car may have come from Moosup, or in that vicinity. This clue 1s to be investigated. The reck- lessness of the auto party and faflure to stop and aid those injured by their fool drjving caused much ad- verse comment Frid An ldeal Outing Da: Friday was outing and picnic day for the members of the Baptist and Meth- odist Sunday schools and the Epworth |league of the latter church. The Bap- | tist school enjoyed a delightful day at seland park in Woodstock, while the Methodist school and the league went to Quadic for the day. May Renew Loan of $250,000. The common council has arranged that its committee on finance inves- tigate and ascertain if the loan of $250,000 with a Hartford life insurance company for waterworks can be re- newed on advantageous terms, committee also to investigate the fea- sibility of issulng bonds of the city of Putnam to cover this indebtedne: After the investigation and consulta- on with members of the board of water commissioners the il report back to the common coun- L Briefs and Perscnals.

Waiters a Tie—Boat Races at Watch Hill. The Glorious Fourth was ushered in with the costomary demonstration in Westerly anq there was the usual banging of revolvers with blank car- tridges, the loud explosion of modern firecrackers and here and there the sky was illumined by flying skyrock- ets. When the clock in the tower of the old town hall tolled in the day we celebrate the big crowd that had assembled in Dixon square let loose the god of noises and there was some- thing doing along that line until tho rising sun seemed to have an admon- ishing effect upon those who put the kibosh on sleep the night before. Thers and when the customary hour for busi ness arrived the village had assumg its usual orderly and quiet condition and thus it remained for the balanes of the day. The day proper assumed a Sunday-like appearance and all was peace and quiet, a truly safe and sane Fourth of 'July, Every precaution wag taken to pre- vent and be prepared for any fire emergency, for Chief Cottrell and his body of fire fighters were ready to respond to the first tap of the firm alarm bell and the horses were readv to make a quick trip to the central fire house, where firemen were in wait- ing all through the night. There was nothing doing in that line. The firm police were on patrol duty to prevent the careless use of fireworks, while the chief aided by the local police force had made the rounds of the business centre and caused the removal of all lose and inflammable material days in advance. So far as known there was lack of the customary Fourth of July accidents -and, aside from the nolse of the night before, the day was about the same as any other legal holiday in Westerly. The first boat race of the season to be sailed in the local waters off Watch Hill was won Friday morning by Don- ald Battey of Watch HIill, who satled the Pard, a Swampscott dory. There were about ten other entries In the race, but Battey won with a big mar- gin.’ The race in the afternoon, which was a free for all race for boats un- der 23 feet over all, was won by Reb- bert Barrie, Jr. of Philadelphia who sailed_the Bugenia. Charles P. Cot- trell, Jr., of Westerly came in second in the Edvtha. George Clark of Wes- terly was in the lead until the last lap of the race when the Sweet Marie lost her deck halad block, which put her back. She fln!shed in fourth place. The basebaii game between the Ocean house colored waiters and the C. B. Cottrell team of Westerly, which was plaved on the Watch Hill stadium Friday afternoon resulted in a tle score, 9 to 9. The teams were unable to play off the tie at this time, but will do so later. Local Laconics, The Westerly Bov Scouts will return from camp todav (Saturday).

The trolley cars entering Westerly hag full complement of passengers Fri- day, most of them having Watch Hill or Pleasant View as their objective points. Many who are employed elsewhere came to their Westerly homes to spend the Fourth and about every one of them had something to say in praise of the new railway station, the new town hall end the prospective new post office building. A big bunch of Westerly fans wit- nessed the game in New London on the morning and afternoon of July Fourth.
