Michael Smith Had Three Gashes in Top of His Head—Saloon Window Pushed In. A row at the saloon called The Ad- miral, at No, 257 North Main street, on Thursday evening, which was contin- ued on the sidewalk after the partici- pants had been put out, led to the ar- Test of three men, one with three gash- s in the top of his head, said 10 have been made either with a bottle, a bil- liard ball or pieces of glass from a w dow that was pushed in. Policeman Matthew J. Delaney was the first officer to arrive on the scene, hearing the racket and arriving just after the fighters had been pushed out into the street and were continuing their fight there. He stopped the row and arrested Michael Smith, 24, a Rus- sian, whose head was bleeding from three cuts in the top of if, and Joseph Mokofski, 21, also a Russian. On the way to police station the two turned upon the officer, who devoted his atten- tion to landing Smith at police head- quarters, which he did while the other man made off. A citizen named Barry assisted the policeman. Later Mokofski was arrested at a house in Greeneville by Sergeant John H. Kane and Policeman Delaney, and another man named Joseph Dmuls 23, a Lithuanian, was arrested in Greeneville by Sergeant Allen C. Mat- thews. Smith was so badly cut that when he arrived at police headquarters Captain D. J. Twomey summoned Dr. J. W. Callahan, who sewed up the wounds after cutting off a portion of the man’s hair on top of his head to get at the wounds. Friends bailed out Mokofski and Dmulski for their appearance in police court this.morning. According to the police, there was no blood in the saloon. Several hens perched up behind the bar led to the supposition that the patrons might have been shaking for them, and this might have had something to do with the trouble that resulted.

Above this polnt to Pratt street the excavating has all been done 5o that it will be but a short piece of work to put in the remaining ralls as soon as the rock has been cleared away.

Young won from Stur- LIFTED BY BARGE. Early Thursday me the coal barge John McCarthy broke away © her moorings at the Mystic wharves and drifting up the river on the in- coming tide lodged herself aihwart the west end of t}s Main street draw- bridge and with the help of the rising ing tide lifteq that end of. the draw {Wo feet above the west approaci while the other end tited down cor- respondingly, to the complete frustra- tion of vehicular traffic. s Automobiles, grocery teams, meat and milk wagons went round by the head of the river instead of crossing K Mai nstreet as usual, whilé pe- estrians, hesitating ,ventureq across the tipsy structure, some ‘of them, and others not caring to chance it, went home again or took to the railroad bridge a half mile farther downstream. ‘Trolley cars are transferring = their passengers; but, wifh all teh cars of the Groton and Stonington having been soused for the night in the car barn on the west side it was necessary to requisition a portion of the rolling stock of the Norwich and Westerly in order ‘to meet the requirements of traffic to and from the castward. The explanation of the singular oc- currence seems to be that th ebarge's hawsers had .been tied too short the night before and when the tide went down, with low water about 2 o'clock in the morning the ropes were too rotten to hold the craft and she went adrift. When the tide began to make flood the barge left the power house dock and started upstream. She drifted clean under the west end of the draw. her cabin catching on the understruc- ture of the# bridge and holding her there. When the tide rose higher, it was either a case of sink the barge or lft the bridge. The old bridge couldn't stand the pressuré and was lifted. Tho tug Alert was sent for as soon as the predicament was disco ed by the village early risers. In the afternoon a’ lew water the barge was pulled out from under the bridge and tae draw dropped back, but not quite to its proper place. As the tide began to fall and the barge with it the bridge began to set- tle; but the opening and closing ap- paratus had been put out of commls- sion and it is not improhable that the pecullar accldent will neccessitate, what many in town have been hoping for, a new bridge. The bridge for many years has been a source of annoyance to traffic on account of the time that it r quires to open and close it by man power. The installation of a motor was _considered by the town fathers of Stonington and Groton, and the street railway company agreed to stand a third of teh expense; but the experts decided that the installation of an electric or gasoline motor would not be practical, considering_the pres ent inadequate condition of the draw structure and its approaches. BARREL BURNING LIT UP THE SKY Mode Traditional of . Celebrating Thanksgiving in This City. Ancient tradition was religiously maintained by the youth of Norwich in the burning of hundreds of barrels in strings on the various hilltops of the town Thanksgiving night and burned fingers and smoked filled eyes ni no way detracted from the pleasure derived by the coming generatton in all parts of the city. barrel burning is a custom péc Norwich and has been an here for a long term of years. of the pleasure of the barrel b undoubtedly lies in the fact “stolen fruits are always the sweetest for a great part of the material for the blazing piles is in the form of ash barrels, surreptitiously appropriated from various backyards - during the | night hours, much to the sorrow of the housewife whose attention is of- tentimes called to the theft by the piles of ashes and garbage dumped on her walks or lawns. That the ancient custom is in no way declining was apparent from the larga number of barrels consigned to the flames Thursday evening. One of the most éxida: e illuminations took place on the Chase lot on Mount Pleas- ant street, where the West Side j'zang’ burned nearly 300 barrels. In tHe same section the Myers avenue gang burn- ed 200 barrels One of the most no- ticeable burnings was that on the va- cant lot on Jail hill, visible from nea 1y all parts of the city. At the top of Seventh street hill about 300 barrels Thanksgiving liar to that were consumed and the CIff stree, Williams _street and Lincoln avenue, Falls and Thamesville bovs anl did thelr part in the illumination. Several small strings of barrels were burned on Dr. L. E. Walker's lot on Division street and the Broad street boy d 100 barrels which they burned at th rear of Dr. G. A.

To do this it will be necessary to change the course of the Ross & Sons, and four parcels of land. must be taken to provide for the new course of the waterway and the tracks, as foilows: From John L. Ross & Sons, about one-quarter acre; from 175 acres; and two other parcels equaling about three-quarters of an acre. According to the commission, the road is empowered to take the specified land and to make all designated improvements and’ all costs of construction and damages done are to be paid for by the com- pany. approval of the HANDLING CHRISTMAS PACKAGES. New Compartment Ready to Take Care of Big Packages at Postoffice. The new arrangement for handling large package mail at Christmas time at the postoffice has just been com- pleted under the direction of Postma ter William Caruthers, It consists of a chute leading down from the main mailing room into a compartment in the basement. The packdges from the chute slide on to a table and are taken from there to be made up into routes on the dis- tributing table, which is also inside the compartment, The ole is enclosed in wire netting which runs from floor to ceiling And there is a gate which is padlocked shut. The new arrangement will greatly facilitate the handling of the immense number of packages which come in the Christmas mail. Changing Postoffice Doors. The main doors at the postoffice have been changed so as tc swing outward. The chief reason for the change was because of the strong winds that blow through the winter directly against the front of the building, swinging the doors inward in spite of the best and heaviest springs that could be put This made it hard to keep warm and also in- of heating the upon them | the lobby decently the dificulty entire building.
