Effects of Icy Rain. ‘While Danielson 'and vicinity escaped something of the severity of the storm as reported from shore line towns on Monday, the long continued fall of freezing rain had its effect by Tues- day morning, when about everything exposed to the elements bore a coat- ing of ice: Poles of the S. N. E. T. company carrying lines to Putnam ‘were. reported. down near that place and there wers minor troubles nearer home. The service was not seriously impaired, -however. Streets about the borough were. strewn with limbs = of broken off trees from which they were quite easily sarpped owing to the ice = covering they carried. The trolley line crews had tkeir troubles in getting cars over the line, as ice coveed the rails and overhead work, but the schedule was not seridusly interferred with, though some of the cars were a. few minutes late. WAR KILLS FUR TRADE. No Market This Year For Raw Pelts. The wise Miss or Madam who for years has been longing for a set of nice furs will make the most of thia winter’s extraordinary opportunity to zet some good pelts at bargain prices. The European war has put a real puncture in the very high prices that have prevailed for the past few years. One local dealer in raw furs said on Tuesday that the season has been the a 'Warm Room ‘N?HEN you take your sewing upstairs, take the /4ear along too.

Church of Hartford, pur- chaser of the Hunt clothing business at Willimantic, was formerly of this city. He is now one of Hartford’s very successful merchants, W. M. Mansfield Writes From Londen. In a letter to friends here W. N. Mansfield writes from London of the Zeppelin scare and of the extraor- dinary precautions taken to keep the city dark as possible at night. A number of social events arranged for Tuesday evening in Putnam were postponed on account of the storm. Rallroad section men are now on a schedule of working hours that is an hour a day shorter than heretofore. The loss in pay is 16 cents a day, The R. F. D. carriers had another tough day of it Tuesday, but covered their routes as usual. L. H. Healey of North Woodstock has been at Colchester lo install the officers of the grange. House Over 100 Years Old. Investigators have found~ that a house now used as a mill tenement in the rear of the Ballou mill is more than 100 years old, something that can be said of very few buildings within the limits of the city. Letters Not Claimed. Letters addressed to the following persons are unclaimed at the Putnam postoffice: M. L. Lynch, J. F. Pierce, George L. Park Harold Kenneway, Dr_ ‘W. Place, Miss Maria Dee, Jennie Pratt, Miss Eliza Costelle, Mrs. Lily worst he has knowp. At this time last year he had sold three collections of assorted fl’rs to buyers and they were clamoring ? for more; this year they have not peeped about buying. Brime, black skunk skins, selling gt this time last year in the local market for raw furs at $150 and up, are down to about $1.25, a price unheard of in years. This is due to the fact, the dealer says, that 80 per cent. of the furs taken each winter in New England are sent to Europe for dyeing. THe war has kill- ed_the export business. Skunk fur of good quality is one of the biggest sellers in the world’s mar- ket today. It brings fancy prices under still fancier names. Some local women who know this are buying pelts at the bargain prices and will arrange with furriers to fashion them into gar- ments that will cost them not much more than half the price they would have been called upon to pay last vear. Peeping Tom Still Uncaptured. Complaints continue to pour in about the activities of Danielson’s Peeping Tom. He seems to be on his job— his night job—almost constantly. It was learned Tuesday that one of his visits was to a house in the Westfield section. He rapped on the window and threw dirt agairst it to, attract the attention of those within, and _then ran away. This performing has be- come wearying to many and is a cause of nerveusness to many"timid people. There remains hardly:a shadow of doubt as to the man's dentity, but it is necessary that there be none at all if a certain conviction is desired when he is taken. HUSBAND BREAKS HIP. Wife of Edwin Bugbee Had Same Ac- cident Six Weeks Ago. Edwin Bugbee, a venerable resident of the Westfield section, fell against a radiator in his home Monday night and suffered a fracture of his right hip Only six weeks ago Mrs. Bugbee fell and broke her hip and she is only able after that period of time to be relieved from the necessity of remaining on a fracture bed.

Ice Weighs Down Wires, Poles Fall, Handsome Trees at Alexander’s Lake Damaged. The worst ice storm since February 15-16," 1912, gave linemen of various corporations one of their very busiest days in this section of the county Tuesday. South of here, about two miles, five poles went down in a row, giving the telephone plant force some- thing to be busy with. From various towns in this section came reports of lesser cases of trouble, wires brgken, ltmbs falline on lines and so on. The Western Union wires in Wind- ham county did not suffer very much and a good service was being main tained all day, though some cities in the state could not be reached by telephone. A telegraph company line- man who circled about the county during the day clearing up minor cases of trouble said that there was twice as much ice on the wires in Willi- mantic and vicinity.as was the case in Putnam and at Plainfield there was almost no ice on the wires. Putnam had more ice on the wires than was the case in Danielson. The lines of the Putnam Light and Power company were not affected by the storm and their service was not at all interfered with. In the country districts many fine trees were damaged, breaking down under the weight of ice. At Alexan- der’s lake the double row of stately and beautiful pines bordering the trol- ley line southward from Attawauzan crossing were damaged. Many large limbs snapped off these trees and many more bent down so low as to in- dicate ‘they might break at any min- ute. These trees that have been such a mark of beauty for many years have suffered severely' during the last five years, a number of them dying, prob- ably on account of the heavy electric current on the wires that run through their branches where they oveérsnread the road. Ice storms have helped destroy them, also. Local Members to Attend Webster Meeting. Putnam members of the Webster campaign roads in this district.

That the wider interests of the party might be served the democratic candi- dates for appointment have not urged their arguments for selection for some months past, but activities may, and probably will be, resumed at once in towns where the time of the repub- lican postmasters has expired or is soon to expire. The Putnam appoint- ment is looked for early in 1915. P. H. S. Defeated, The Rexall Five of Dayville defeat- ed ‘the P, S. pasketball team at Fri- day night's game in the High schcol gym, 26 to 17.
