A Quiet Holiday. Christmas proved a very quiet hol- iday in Danielson, with the streets deserted and the majority of local people and their visiting relatives en- Joying themselves in the homes of the Many came out for the chureh services in the morning, but after these were concluded the major- ity found home pleasures best. BIG CHRISTMAS TRADE, Live Methods of Merchants Atrracted The Buyers to Borough. Danielson business men certainly made a success this year of the plan N. D. WEBSTER, Treasurer to draw holiday crowds here— a real sucess. This was never better demon- strated than on Christmas eve, when | with the s attractions of the ki~ of light, -. ‘beautiful arrangement, on Davis park and the dazzling illumina- tion of the business section the strests ‘were s0 jammed with people a8 to be almost impassable. No such jam has occurred in Danielson since the observ- ance of the bicentennial of Killingly's Incorporation, which was observed in 1808. A carnival spirit prevailed and the spirit of the hdliday sedson was also strongly in evidence. The lights are certainly as attractive to people as any little form of attraction th: could be devised and good people came from all the surrounding towns, and came in large numbers, to see the pretty display. It is not too much to Bssume that they not only came, but came with their money, which was spent to gcod advantage in meeting various nees P. H. 8. Defeated 19 to 13. Killingly High school defeated Put- nam High 19 to 13 in the first meeting of the teams this season in the Town hall Christmas night.

A big crowd watched the game, which was fast, and at times rough, so much so that Referce Mellor ordered one Killingly player and one Putnam play- er from the floor. The victory gives Killingly a lead in the league race, The freshman team representing the school also played the Putnam boys, winning by the score of 12 to 6.

Not all of the fowl in New England was killed to do duty at Christmas din- ners, A train that arrived here from Boston Thursday morning had two fine chickens lying on the pilot.

The big teams played a league game, and the meeting between the teams was the first of the season, breaking their tie for leadership in the pennant race. Holiday Crowds at Theater. Over-capacity crowds were at the Bradley theater Christmas afternoon and evening for the vaudeville festival of seven big acts that Manager George M. Fine provided as a holiday bill and to mark the second anniversary of his taking over the management of the house, where he has achieved a deserv- ed success. The seven acts on the Christn gramme constituted a big city ville offering.

Letters and his able office force, after handling a record- breaking business, had practically all of the mail delivered by 3 o’¢lock on Christmas afternoon, and were pleased with having completed the big week of the year. Since Monday an average of 225 sacks of mail matter has been handled, and this may be taken as an indication of what the office force was called upon te cope with. Postmaster Letters was especially pleased with the manner in which trons responded to the request that they do their mailing early, for there ‘was a big response to this suggestion. Another fact that was pleasing to the postmaster was the careful manner in which parcels were wrapped and ad- dressed, and very few percels had to be rejected on account of their not hav- ing been preperly prepared. Inceming parcels wete as a rule received in good conditien, and there will be little or no complaint from the addressees. An extra force has been on duty since Monday. With the aid of teams this force was able to deliver and de- spatch promptly all incoming and out- going mail matter.

THE H. G. MURRAY COMPANY CHRISTMAS JOY RIDE. Provides Brief Pleasure for Three Put- nam Young Men, Christmas did not get by without| witnessing the beginning of the trou- | bles of three Putnam men; in fact, the | great feast day had barely got a start when the merry part of their prospects | began to whisper Good-night. It was| about midnight of Christmas eve when | Wallace Jones, 24, Alma Lucier and | Peter Guyette, also young men, decid- | ed that ‘they' wanted an automobile | ride, and not being among the lucky ! list of persons who own machines they went and got one that belonged to | someone else. To get it they had to force an en- trance to one of M. R. Jov's garages, really a storehouse for machines be- neath the Bradley theater. Once in- side, they did not delay over getting a t ing it, ace of them told Thursday Grosvenordale. ir getting away with the ca seen, and Wwithin a short time information of the fact was transmitted to Mr. Jov. About 1 a. m. Mr. Joy got down town to investigate the matter, and arrrived near the place from where his car had been taken just as Jones was getting back into Livery street with the mia- ! chine, which had_ stalled and was'&giv- | ing the driver difficulty in getting it started. Mr. Joy engaged him in coh- | versation until Sergeant Patrick Hayes appeared, and the office took him in charge. His companions in the affair were not with him at the time. Jones told who was with him, how- ever, and a search was made for the missing pair, but without success until Christmas afternoon about 4 o'clock, when word came as to Lucler's where- abouts, and he was quickly rounded up by Captain Murray near Centennial street. Soon after Captain Murray got a line on Guyette's whereabouts, but that young man made a run for it when the officer hove in sight in an au- tomobile. Later, at 5.30, Guyette came and gave himself up. Carol Singers Welcomed and Feasted. Thirty-six stops were made by the cholr of the Congregational church be- fore midnight Wednesday and during the first hour of Christmas moraing to sing carols at homes where candles in the windows glimmered an invitation to stop.

They were serv- ed at different places with coffee, waf- ers and candy. Methodist Christmas Festival.
