There was then In Norwich not a hospital of any kind, no T. A, B. building, no Y. M. C. A, building, no post office building, no Masonic tem- ple, no telephone exchange building. The Del Hoff was a dingy furni- ture store, G. A. Davis' store was a small annex to the hotel, and the Cen- tral building was a wooden church. There was no Slater hall and the old and outgrown Academy building stood where now stands a new and modern building, Schools with Drafts for Ventilation. Children who were doomed to at- tend school in Bast Broad street (and by own children were among the vie- tims) sat in rooms with no ventilation except what blew on to their backs through cracks around the windows; while the toilets were a burning dis- grace. Lincoln avenue was only half its present length, Wililams street had only nine houses; now there are more than thirty. Think of the lights of those days: only Were and there a gas light, which smoked when the wind blew. Most of the stores were lighted by kerosens lamps and many of the streets were dark as pockets.

In his paper Dr. Peck went on to describe the conditions and changes that he remembers, as fol- lows: There was at that time a vest pock- et edition of a horse railroad running (I mean walking )to Bean Hill and to Greeneviile only, The snow was deep, So the funny little cars were replaced by & bob- sieigh. For warmth there was a lot of straw on the floor. The cars walk- ed once an hour to Bean Hill and it took an hour to do it. Think of that, the next time you rush up to Hill in less than ten minutes. Let me tell you of some things, as I remember them, thirty-sevem years ago, or iess, No Plate Glass Windows. Then there was not a store in Nor- wich that had a plate glass window. All of the windows on the first floor of the Wauregan hotel were small and had four panes of common glass. On the corner where now is the Norwich Savings bank, there was a pkanut stand. Vhere now stands the Shannon building then stood the old Norwich bank, an insignificant one story build- ing flanked on either side by small buildings. Still other small buildings stood where now we see the Lee & Osgood block, the N. S. Gilbert block and the Plaut-Cadden biock, The new Auditorium hotel and the handsome Majestic, now building, re- place very inferior buildings. The same is to be sald of Judge Thayer’s build- ing. ¢ Then the station of the Norwich and Worcester railroad was behind a lot of unsavory houses and was a fit home for rats.

Paign next fall has been more or less lost sight of by the average citizen though it has not been lost sight by those who make it a practice to see that the people are not misled in their choice of candidates, say the New Ha- ven Journal-Courler. There seems to be a growing opin- {ion that Governor Baldwin will h the running for United States senator all to himself on the democratic side. Congressman Bryan F. Mahan will be a candidate, but the talk is now veer- ing to Mahan's chances for the nom- ination for governor and his chances likewise for election if he gets the nomination. Now all this may be news to Mahan, but that's the way the dem- ocrats hereabouts who are in touch with the inner circle of the game are talking, The deémocrats have been tryinz to figure a winning combination on those two places and they have not yet found one. Not that there are not plenty of candidates who might be able to win, but thgy want someone for governor who will offset any dem- ocratic defection from Baldwin and they want a man who if he has any weakness will be pulled through by the governor. They think that a corfs bination of Baldwin and/ Mahan might do the trick. Just what Lieutenant Governor Tin- gier and Willard C. Fisher and Sen- ator George M. Landers may have to say to that program will not require any great amount of guessing and the democratic state convention next Sep- tember will be a fairly lively affair when they come to nominate a state ticket. Homer 8. Cunimings seems to be out of the reckoning for any place this fall as it is said he is wil ing to wait and go after Senater Mc- Lean’s seat in 1916. There seems to be no great oppos tion to Senator Brandegee on the re- publican side. For governor on the republican side there is very little talk as yet. All along Judge Henney's name has been consistently connected with the. nom- ination, but no one knows if Judge Henney would take it. The name of Everett J. Lake has come to the front principally throngh the efforts of those responsible for the purity com- | mittee's formation. Lake has a great many friends in the state, however, and if there should be & fight in the state convention on the question of a revision of the method of represen- tation Take's friends.will poll more votes than is expected. Speaker Web- ster of Harwinton will have a great deal of strength in the small towns and he will take the nomination if it comes his way. For congressmen all five of the pres- ent holders of seats will be candi- dates for the renomination, barring the unforeseen. Of course if Mahan lands the nomination for a higher of- fice there will be 2 new candidate in Martin Church of Montville, who wag struck by a Central Vermont train injuries. time, but the only external were slight cuts and bruises head. Mr. Church. who is very deaf, was on his way along the railroad track with a basket of fish which he was taking to Beetham's about 4.30 in the afternoon, when the northbound train came along. It reached him near the Kitemaug station and had slowed up as it was approaching the bridge where repairs are underwa Just as the train came up to where he was walking along the side of the track, he stepped up directly in front of the engine and was struck by it and hurl- ed off gbout 30 feet.
