What sum was agreed upon in.set- tlement was not made public, dut the settlement was reached before all the evidence of the plaintif was in and before expert medical testimony as to or the plaintiff herself had been put on the stand by her attorneys who were Willlam H. Shields and Allyn L. Brown. The case for the railroad was conducted by Attorney, W. J. Bren- nan and C. B. Whittlesey. The evidence of the witnesses tend- ed to show that the sidewalk crossing the railroad track at the Norwich Town station had been constructed of planking and existed for many years. It a that about 1908 or 1909 the planking had been remover, presum- ably by the Railroad company. though none of the witnegses was able to tell who did it, and it ha dnever been res- tored until the Railroad company in | July, 1912, four months after the ac- i cident, rebuilt a plank crossing in ex- tension of the sfdewalk over the com- pany’s tracks, her injuries had been heard in court | poor. t appeared that from the fall her right arm and shoulder had been se- verely injured and the ability to uss the arm had been greatly impaired. By the fall her face was cut and bruised and several teeth were brok- en oft. She bled profusely from her injuries at the time, and was unable to stand or walk without the support of others who held her up.

Bast Lyme Historical society mem- bers, aided by representatives of the Colonial Dames, D. A. R., Society for the Preservation of Antiques in New England and the Soclety of Colonial Wars, celebrated on Wednesday the acquisition of the Thomas Lee house in Bast Lyme. Interesting papers touching on the subject of anclent houses in New England were read and the work of the East Lyme soclety in securing the funds with which to purchase the Lee house was detailed iDy Miss Celeste E. Bush, who also gave s histerioal sketch ‘of Thomax e Ernest E. Rogers, president of the New London Historical society, also spoke. There were 115 visitors reg- istered at the old house during the day, the celebration lasting from 114 o'clock until late in the afternoon, The Thomas Lee house, which was built in 1660, has had an interesting history. Built originally as a one structure, additions were made from time to time by the builder and when the existing road was cut through he made alterations which transformed the rear of the house, past which the road went, into the front, which ac- counts for the 0dd constriction of the bulding. The several societies interested in the preservation of the house raised the money for its purchase with the ald of a large contribution from Mrs. Charles Dudley Warner, and have also raised the nucleus of a fund to pro- Vide ‘for the restoration of the place. One of the features of interest was the reading of the charge of Thomas Lee to his children while he lay on his deathbed and which he desired be transmitted to his descendants. He dwelt on the necessity of obeying the fifth commandment, his charge being short, but forceful. Chorus singing with melodeon accompaniment marked the close of the exercises. Among those present were eight de- scendants of Thomas Lee, one of whom read a well prepared story of the life of the pioneer. There were also 11 members of the Colonial Dames present, with a number of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution. Lunch was served under the trees around the old house after the cere- monies had been concluded, a troop of Boy Scouts offering their services in clearing up the place after the vis- itors left. LIKES NORWICH ATTITUDE. to Be Commended. reports an_incident that never dil happen in New London—and judging from the temper of recent years could not happen—because human nature is not built that way in this city by the sea. And regretfully it is to say it. There were three candidates in tie mayoralty election that was decided in Norwich this week by the re-election of Mayor Timothy C, Murphy, and the report in The Bulletin was to the ef- fect that the three candidates happen- ed to meet Wednesday morning in Un. ion square, where they exchang2 pleasantries over their Tecent experi- ences. 2 Now, that is the way to do business —to forget it—and get down to labor for the benefit of all tongevrned. The man who holds a grouch against the other fellow because he beat him out In politics or business is feeding him- self on something that is to his per- Detual disfigurement—his own persor ality, his own business, and in the personal attitude of the friends he may have. The man with a perpetual grouch has few friends, anyhow. He is on the outside of things, and is left there by unanimous comsent. The pu- Titical grouch is the worst kind of a grouch when he gets dumped. Those three men meeting casually in Nor- lech display a refined sentiment of personal regard. If ever Mayor Mur- Dhy wanted somebody to aid him i any way the two defeated candidate would be the first to come to_his as: sistance. It looks well, reads wel Pity there isn’t more of it in our every. day life. The world would be better for it—New London Globe. Leg Broken on Motercycle Trip.
