Elmer E. Kenerson, formerly of this city, now caretaker at Riverside park, near New London, discovered the Ce tral Vermont bridge afire about.mid- night Saturday. He called Niagara Bngine.Co. by phone and the company with a force of about 30 men put out the. fire before it had done, very much damage. A gang of bridge builders was put to work by Superintendent McGraw and Sunday morning’ the re- pairs had been made to a point where it was safe for the trains to pass over the bridge. A freight train passed over the bridge about 10 o'clock Saturday night and hot clinkers from the fire pan are supposed to have dropped to the ties, setting the structure afire.

Home 8tands as Result of Thelr Werle. been suggested ?l. ughters, whose ef- Johnson Mome at Norwich Town was established, belong in the lis: of Norwich benefactors. Home chapter was organised with the spectal purpose of securing a home for aged worthy Protestant women of Norwich. For ten years the members of the chapter worked to raise funds and finally were enabled to open the home in 1806 and to run it for a year. At the end of that time, as it seem- ed for thre advantage of the tnstitution, Home chapter decided to turn it over to the trustees of Mrs. Robert John- son's estate, giving up the name King’s Daughters’ home for that of Johnson home. Arrangements had been made so that the Johnson funds were avail- able in 1907 and the gemerous women who were the o inal workers for the institution took the action which was manifestly for the best interests of the home. It had opened in 1906 with four in the housshold. All these original mem- bers are dead. Eleven women are now in the home. 2 The most generous donor, whose gift of $2,000 made the opening of the home possible in 1906, was the Iate Miss Lizzie Meech. Her sister, the late Miss Adelaide Meech, also guve & liberal sum for that purpose. that TWO FITCMVILLE MEN HELD FOR TRIAL. Stabbing Case Over for a Week—in- jured Man Could Not Appear.

' One of the quickest known ways of j dispelling a headache is to give some | of the muscles—those of the legs, for instence—a little hard, sharp work to do. The reason is obvious. Muscular exertion flushes the parts engaged in it, and so depletes the brain. When your head aches take a stiff walk or & short bicycle ride. Thrifty Welsh Farmers.
