A fifteen-year-old boy, laden with two air rifies, a pair of skates, a pearl handled knife and some shot for the guns, was arrested by the police at 11.30 Thursday night in the rear of Preston Bros. store, on Franklin square. At police headquarters the youngster told how he had climbed up on top of the fence that runs along behind that store, and standing there had been able to take the glass out of a cracked window, slip the catch, open the window and get into the store. ‘When Officer Patrick Murphy went around, as usual, to try the rear doors of the buildings along his beat, he saw the boy standing in the shadow, and about five feet away the air rifles and skates lying on the ground. The offi- cer pretended not to notice them and the boy went up the alley. Officer Murphy made a turn about and was walting, out of sight, when the boy sneaked back to get his booty. The young chap, who was quiet and well mannered at police station, gave his name as Charles Canat, aged 15, and safd his father and mother live on Tal- man street. George C. Preston of Preston Bros. was notified by Captain Twomey of the break, and came down to make an investigation. He found that nothing had been taken other than what the boy had with him, ARTHUR POTHIER ELECTED CHIEF RANGER At Annual Meeting of Court Sachem, Foresters of America.

Precautionary measures are Dbeing taken at the Norwich state hospital, in view of the smallpox that is exist- ent around Norwich, to avoid the spread of that infectious disease. A ort time ago one of the nurses was taken ill and a preliminary diagnosis indicated chickenpox. nce then the features of a mild case of smallpox have developed and the nurse has been removed from the home and been placed in quarantine in quarters at the Gallup farm. On Thursday a ond nurse who rooms in the same nurses’ cottage w taken ill and is now under observation. To preclude the possibility of further trouble from this source, it was decided to vaccinate the dozen or fifteen nurses in this staft house. Quite a number of the hos- pital patients have been vaccinated, who it was considered might have been exposed by the illness of the first nurse, Gospel Mission Meeting. Through the winter 913 the Gospél Mission, 265 Main street, (Steiner's hall), served to the poor men of the street every Saturday night a lunch of some kind and hot coffee to get them off the street and keep them from saloons if po: e.

P oithe Koetai’io Thaavee frnh nid in-} able Christmas gifts for men and boys may be had; we're i There were two calls for the fire de- | ! partment on Thursday, the first at 3 | few minutes before 4 'o'clock, which | was a bell alarm for a fire in a clothes press in a ienement at No. 266 Main street, ‘and the second at 8.04 in the; evening, which was a telephone call for a chimney fire at No. 201 Maple street. s Fireman John E. Blackburn, who was off duty at the time, turned in the alarm for the fire at No. 266 Main sireet by ringing box 23 on Franklin Square, near Ferry street, when two ‘women came running down the stair- way at No. 266 and out of the house, saying there was a fire inside. He could see the smoke coming out of the windows on the second and third stories. The place is occupied as & lodging house and the fire was in a clothes press off the front bedroom on the second floor. Someone had prob- ably gone into the closet with a match, Chref Stanton thought, and accidental- ly set the clothing on fire. The blaze had a good start when the firemen arrived, but no water was needed, as the line of chemical from the autochemical and another from Chemical company No. 1 were all suffi- cient to subdue the blaze. A small section of the wall of the clothes press. also had to be chopped out where the fire had started to eat into the building. The steamer responded to the alarm and was located at the cistern in Franklin square 4nd had a fire going under its boiler and steam partly up by the time the recall was sounded, soon after the companies arrived at the scene. The combination ladder truck was also on hand, and a small extension ladder was used to get up to a front window from the sidewalk. A quantity of the smouldering clothes from the closet was thrown from the windows of the house on to the side- walk. This is the same place where on the evening of Oct. 31 Charley Myeis was found in the hallway of the top floor with his clothing partly burned off and his legs badly burned. He went Jjuries. The building is owned by Stephe. Lambert and is vcoupaed on the ground floor by a shoe swre and a barbe shop. p Search for Chimney Fire. At 8.04 o'clock in the evening there came the excited tones of a woman's voice over the wire to the West Main street station, and a few moments later, while the hitch was being made by the firemen, the alarm was reiterat- e It sounded like 21 Maple street in the stress of the moment, and Chemical No. 2 from the West Main street sta- tion and the autochemical from the central station went to that number, But at that place no sign of a fire had developed and the finding of the blaze they were to fight became the task of the firemen. Chief Stanton was able to command the use of an automobile and leaving the apparatus behind he started out Maple street to run down the elusiv- blaze. His scouting was unsuccessful until he got as far as No. 85 on tha- street and met a man who told him that there had been a slight blaze at No. 201 Maple street, but that a few pails of water had quenched it without damage. Then the firemen went back to their respective houses. —~ ‘The moral of the incident is that too much care cannot be exercised in send- ing in a telephone alarm. At best it lacks the assurance of the bell alarm and in this particular case the similar- ity in name of Maple court, Maple Grove avenue and Maple street might have led to confusion. The fire was in the house at 201 Maple street, owned by George A. Bur- lingham, where Herbert H. Allen and hig family have their home. It was a blaze in a chimney, and the people in the house, with the help of the neigh- bors, put the blaze out with practically no damage. The house was outside of the city limits, as it turned out, but Chief Stan- ton was prepared to send the men and apparatus there, in case of need. DENIED NON-SUIT MOTION IN BREAKWATER CASE. Defense Begins—80-Pound Rock is an | Exhibit—Case Goes Over to Next Week. In the superior court here on Thurs- day the day was occupied with the continuation of the trial of the suit of Joseph Novy against the Breakwater company for $15,000 damages. After the plaintiff had rested, Attor- ney Loomis made a motion for a non- suit and argued it, but Judge Shum- way denied the motion without hearing what argument Attorney Whittlesey for the plaintiff had to make against it. The concluding witnesses for the plaintiff on Thursday morning were John J. Ryan, a New London alder- man, who owns quarries, and who tes- tified to the need of foremen warning workmen, and George K. Crandall of New London, who told of the righ. slope for banks. Aftér the motion for non-suit had been denied, Attorney Loomis proceed- ed with the case for the defense. His first witness was Josepn Wickl, a fellow workman of Novy. The wit- ness testified through Louis Coleman, a Polish interpreter from New Haven. Archibald Torrance gave expert tes- timony on methods of safeguarding banks in quarries, and Frank Piascik and Joseph D. Balastini, who were there working when Novy was hurt, told of the circumstan A round boulder weighing about 60 pounds was put in as an exhibit as similar to the stone that hit Novy. Gennare Bettruc. ci acted as interpreter for the last two witnesses. The last witness for the afternoon was Michael J. Drury, who has been in the quarry business since 1896 at vari- | ous pl and was in charge of the Breakwater company's quarry at the me of the accident to Novy.

Thomas Berkley Leahy. In the intimate business life of a city a man of warm personal qualities. approachable, with a keen sense of what is honorable and just, is always |a force which makes the relations of business more than mere bartering and exchange, makes them truly something worth while.
