Monty-Goodfellow, John Amede Monty and Miss Jessle Weir Goodfellow, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Goodfellow were united in marriage at the home of the bride’s parents at Kitemaug at 11 o'clock Tuesday forenoon by Rev. J. B, Al- drich of Montville. Only immediate relatives and intimate friends were present. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Agnes Maude Good- fellow and the best man was G. Homer Monty, brother of the groom. The bride was charmingly attired in white silk crepe de chine and her maid wore pink silk crepe de chine. The bride carried a bouquet of bride’s roses and wore a spray of roses caught in her hair. The bride was given away by her father and the single ring cere- mony was used. The house was at- tractively decorated with pailms and ferns and the ceremony was perform- ed under an arch of evergreen. The bridal chorus from Lohengrin was played by Miss Mildred Goodfellow, sister of the bride. A reception followed the ceremony and a wedding dinner was served. There were many beautiful gifts to the bride. Mr. and Mrs, Monty left during the afternoon for a honeymoon trip to Bos- ton, Mass.,, and on their réturn will take up their residence at an attrac- tively furnished home in Versaiiles. The bride’s going away suit was of brown serge trimmed with velvet. Mr. Monty is well known as an all around athlete and has a wide circle of friends. He i{s an expert mechanic and is at present employed by the Versailles Sanitary Fibre company. He is a native of Sutton, Que., Can. and has lived in Occum and Norwich for several years. His bride was born in Parkham, Ont, Can. She is well known and popular in this city. Floated Off Gardiner Island. Tug Tasco towed schooner Thomas Wooley into New London harbor Mon- day afternoon, having taken her off the beach at Gardiner Island after revenue cutter Itasca had failed in a three d effort to float her. The Tasco w three hours getting the “Wooley’s huil into deep water. The schooner’s hull is damaged and she will require patching. Her sails have been blown away. The Wooley went ashore light last Thursday. She was driven farther up on the beach at each flood tide until Monday, when the Scott wreckers got there, she had only two feet of water around her. By bridling the schooner the powerful Tasco was able to haul her down the sand on her bilge. The name of Representative John E. Craney should not have bee nomit- ted in the list of those who rode in the first car over Boswell Avenue ex- tension, for he was the gentleman whose work in the legislative halls made it possible.

In the $15,000 suit brought by Joseph ' Novy against the Breakwater company a verdict for $700 was hamded down in | the superior court on Tuesday after- | poon at 4.28 o'clock, The jury had been out since 3.59 o'clock, following a b0-minute charge by Judge Shumway, | when they re-entered the ccurt recm : and Foreman G. H. Morgan announced a decision in favor of the plaintiff. A motion for a new trial filed at once by Attorney Seymour JC. Loomis for the Breakwater company, entering it because the verdict is against the evi- dence, on the ground that it does not appear by the evidence that the de- fendant was negligent, but was in the exercise of due care. The plaintiff, by the evidence, knew, or ought to have known and appreciated, the dan- | gers alleged in the complaint. | ‘When the court came in Tuesday NORWICH PEOPLE IN FIRST AID WORK Miss Maude Gallivan and C. L. Hub- bard Instrumental in Saving Life of Lineman Herbert Johnson, Herbert Johnson, a 24 year old Wil- limantic lineman in the employ of the Western Union Telegraph company, is coming back to health rapidly at the New Haven hospital and the part that two Nerwich people took jn bringing this happy condition’ of affairs about has just begun to be known. The ex- i press train leaving Boston at 1.03 last Tuesday and New London at 8.55 | struck Johnson and a 'fellow lineman iyust bevond Waterford. They had got- | ten on this track to avoid a train on | the other. On the train were Mr. and Mrs, C. .. Hubbard and Miss Maude Gallivan, the latter a trained nurse, all of this citv. One man was crushed to pieces by the locomotive and Johnsen was insensible and was taken at first as dead. But Mr. Hubbard insisted that the unconscious form be taken into the baggage car and then he searched the train for a physician, without success. Then Miss Gallivan came to the Tes- cue. With a hypodermic needle that was borrowed from a passenger on the train, injections of strychnine and brandy were pumped into the inani- mate body all the way to New Haven and artificial respiration was also car- ried out by Miss Gallivan and her vol- unteer first aid corps. - Johnson, arriv- ing at New Haven without having re- j covered consciousness, was met by an ambulance and hurried to the hospital where the greater facilities brought about a successful ending to Miss Gal- livan's heroic measures, i i MAHAN PROPOSES CANAL FOR EASTERN CONNECTICUT The Water Transportation Would Be a Big Thing for This Section. Congressman Mahan called at the war department on Tuesday and had a lengthy interview with the army en- gineers, with a view of securing a pre- liminary survey of a system of canals in eastern Connecticut, which In his opinion, will be of immense benefit to Windham and New London counties. As a rtesult of this interview Mr. Mahan has introduced a bill provid- ing for a survey of the Shetucket river from Norwich up to its juncture with Quinebaug, thence up the latter river to its juncture with the French river near. Mechanicsville, thence up the French, river to the ‘city of Webster, Mass, The scheme is deemed feasible by the army people, and if authorized by congress the work will be undertaken. ‘Water transportation will be furnish- ed by the proposed canal to the vil- lages of Greeneville, Jewett City, Pack- er, Wauregan, Danielson, Pomfret Yanding, Putnam, Mechanicsville, North Grosvenordale, Wilsonville, in Connecticut, and Webster in Massa- chusetts. An abundant supply of wa- ter for the canal can be had from Lake Chaubunagunganaug, near Webster. OBITUARY.

Will Start Driving Test Piles to Determine Length WNeces- sary, 4 The T. A. Scott Co. will, weather permitting, begin today the first actual mechanical operations for the con- struction of the steamship terminal at New Londqn. Surveys, plans, esti- mates and theoretical preparations have already been made. It remains for the day before Christ- mas to witness the turning of the first bit of earth inaugurating the com- mencement of construction of a pro- Ject which it is believed will revolu- tionize the maritime business of Con- mnecticut. Strictly speaking, earth will not exactly be turned. Insteaa mud will be displaced by the driving of the first pile by one of the Scott Co.s rile drive-s. Numerous piles will be driven, the p.rpose of which is to ascertain the ccinpany will be obliged to order to i-rosecute the work of construction. This, of course, will be determined hy the depth to which they have to be driven before sufficient resistance is encountered. Range poles were erect- ed at the teyminal site Monday to aid the company in making its pile deter- mination, The contract for the building of the terminal, which was awarded to the Scott Co. several days ago at a meeting of the harbor commission in Hart- ford, has not yet been signed, owing to one or two details yvet to be at- tended to by the sub cimmittee. iThe Scott Co. is ready to affix 1ts signature, however, having completed all the far- rangements required of it by the t s of the contract, and the formalit; f signing will undoubtedly by adj da within a brief time. g 1 There has been some guestion as to what type of steamships would be likely to make New London their ter- minal and some alleged humorists have suggested that the Imperator will probably be steaming up the Thames in a vear or so. It is not the inten- tion to secure European passenger ex- press steamships. As a matter of fact they would be the least desirable ten- ants of the pier, at least for a time. ‘What it is desired to ge! at New London, and what, judging by inquiries received, will undoubtedly come there, are the smaller freight stearnships. These are the type of vessels which bring the greatest returns in every way and which are destined to build up the manufacturing business of the city. Facilities for marine transporta- tion unsurpassed in the Unmited States will be furnished. Tt is a well known rule of shipping that the father goods may be shipped by water and the shorter by rail, the greater economy. The reserve is true in passenger traf- fic. Certain large steamship concerns doing virtually an exclusive {freight business are paying in New York, 77 cents a square foot for wharfage. New London can let them space at about 11 cents a square foot and give a re- | turn to the state on_its investment of about 5 per cent. It would be diffi- cult'to imagine a steamship company that would not grasp the opportunity | to curtail to the extent of 6-7 ome of | its biggest items of expense, All these facts and others will be | fully demonstrated by the commercial | agent which it was voted to appoint iat a recent meeting of the commission. | No appointment has yet been made |and none probably will be until the | terminal construction is further ad- | vanced.
