James W. Chamberiain, Brother of Late William Chamberlain, Has Re- markable Careers as Engineer. James Wing Chamberlain of 17 ‘Wrentham reet, Derchester, will go on the pension roll of the Boston & M ilroad New Year's Day after |a remarkable service with of 53 :h the com- and 7 months, all of | were ced on locomotives. | The longest period he was off duty during this long service was for three a brother of the late William Chamberlain of Norwich and consequently has acquaintances | here. | Another noteworthy feature of this service of more than half a century is that Mr. Chamberlain will retire with an olutely clear record which has never had a demerit for any cause placed against it. Mr. Chamberlain was born in Wor- ester, Dec. 17, 1844. He entered the ervice of the road June 1, 1861, as a pare fireman, and in turn served as fireman, spare engineer and engineer. His latest run has been on the train {leaving Boston for New York b | i 5 a. m. on which he ran as as | Springfield, returning on the noon train from New York, taki it at Springfield and bringing it through to , arriving here at 5:55 p. m. Mr. Chamberlain actually antedates the corporate existence of the Boston & for his first work was done ston & Worcester Railroad. Those were the days of wood burning locomotives, but Mr. Chamberlain kept abreast with the development of steam as motive power, and his last years of service have been as engineer on one of the big modern express locomotiv From Jan. 13 to July 1, 1863, M Chamberlain served as traveling en gineer, and again in the same posi- tion from Dec. 7, 1897, to Nov. 1, 1901. He was also road foreman of loco- motives from Nov. 1, 1901 until Aug. 1, 1903. Since the latter date he has been steadily running his locomotive on through trains. In going on the Chamberlain will carry with him highest regard of everybody on Boston & Albany, from the high regard of evervbody on the Boston Albany, from the highest offic through all branches of the service where Mr. Chamberlain is known. nI his own statement, accompanying his application for retirement, Mir. erlain said: “I have never had' a sickness which required me to be ab- sent more than three or four days at any one time My service with the Boston and Albany has been continu- ous. I have been absent a week or two during the most of these years on a vacation, but never more than two weels. retired list, Mr. the as usual last Monday morning, but when he reported for duty yesterday i(lxe service between now and New | ment—would be ‘dispensed with and he will begin to draw his pension on December 31. State Highway Work. Contracts for work on state high- ways were opened in the highway de- partment in the capitol at Hartford Thursday, as follows: Norwich—About 3,177 linear feet of trap rock macadam resurfacing. Speci- fications at the selectmen’s office, Nor- wich. East Lyme—About 4.340 linear feet of special 6 inch gravel, gravel or native stone construction.

Mr. Chamberiain took out his train | | morning he was informed that his ac- | Year'’s—the date of his official rotix‘o-l Entangled in more of the mazes of matrimony than he was perhaps aware of, and somewhat startled some time ago when he was told by a lawyer that he might be charged with bigamy, Willlam H. Armstrong of Norwich has flled papers with the clerk of the su- perior court asking for an annulment of his pretended marriage with Ella Daniels of Waterford on Nov. 18, 1880. This is another step in his efforts to get out of marital involvements, the previous chapter having ended with a divorce from Annie M. Arnold secured on Dec. 11, 1914. The circumstances of the case are somewhat unusual. On June 7, 13879, Mr. Armstrong, who has been in the employ of the New Haven road for many years, mar- ried Annie M. Arnold in Sterling. Later he found that she has given an assumed name, her real name being Martha Knowles, and for that reason he considered the marriage null and void. Believing this on Nov. 18, 1880 he married Ella Daniels in New Lon- don. On April 28, 1901, the defendant jeft the plaintiff and since then they have not lived together. Of his first wife the papers showed that Arm- strong had not heard for 20 years and the divorce was obtained. The papers alleged wilful desertion on her part the same month as the marriage. Of his second wife, Armstrong has an 1S vear old child. While he claims de- WANTS SECO DMA_RIZGZ ANNULLED sertion Mrs. Armstrong has written to lawyers from Waterford where she is living claiming that she was abused by her husband, at one time being kicked in the stomach, and shé had to take in washing. Arthur J. Perry of New London brings suit agalnst the Central Ver- mont Railway company for the sum of $5,000. On Dec. 9, 1913, while rid- ing between New London and Nor- wich on a train the car went off the rails and down a bank and Mr. Perry claims he was severely and perman- ently hurt and lost his clothes and jewelry. He was confined to his home for six months, Frederick D. Burrows of Groton brings suit agalnst the Mystic Ren- dering Co, of Groton for $1,000 to re- cover money loaned on Dec. 1, 1814. Frederick C. Chidsey of New Lon- don has brought an action against Elliott K, Taylor of New London for the sum of $1,000. Mrs. Margaret O'Neill Dougherty of Waterford seeks to be freed from James L. Dougherty of the same town on the charge of desertion. There are five children and the wife claims the custody of Irene and Henry. They were married Oct. 22, 1890. The Humphrey Cornell Co., of New London, has sued the Niantic Men- haden Oil and Guano Ce. of East Lyme for the sum of $1,200, CARRIAGE DEMOLISHED BY WILLIMANTIC AUTO.

The auto driv was wholly to blame for and who was afraid cf the consequences did not stop but kent on down Broadway leaving the oce pants of the carriage and the wiec carriage age, on the road. Luckily neither of the young men was injured and the horse escaped with out ever a cratch. William F. Bailey the proprietor of neizhborhood | though at the time and al- he did not see the accident, tried to folow up the Willimantic au- to in his machine but was unable to learn the identity of the driver. remains of the wrecked car- o were gathered up and taken to . Bailey's stable on an express wa- gon. The young men undaunted their mishap chartered another hol and carriage and made a second s for the hall. NEW YEAR'S EVE DANCES. At Miller’s, the Norwich Club, and the Wauregan, the Old Year Was Danced Out. A New Year'’s subscription dance was given at the Norwich club with n attendance of about 100. An ama- teur orchestra furnished music for dancing. During intermission refresh.- | ments were served to the dancers. The Wauregan house had charge of the catering and.the committee In charge of the dance were: Philip Johnson, Raymond Sherman, Humphrey Almy and Traver Briscoe, At Miller’s dancing academy, Thurs- day evening about forty couple at- tended a New Year's subscription dance. The hall was prettily deco- rated with streamers of bunting and college pennants. There were twenty numbers on the well arranged pro- gramme and Jed Harris had charge of the catering.

The New Year's eve dance of the 1814 club in the Wauregan house was delightful affair, bringing together pout 60 couples from this and many es_ including Boston, Worcester, Willimantic and New London. The main dining room was attractively decorated and Drew’s orchestra gave excellent music for the 18 dances, dur- ing the intermission between which refreshments were served. The patrons and patronesses were Dr. and M T. A. Crowle Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ruckley, and Mr, and Mrs, Lawrence Millea. The committee of arrange- ments comprised Misses -Isabel Mur- phy., Miss Eva Henauit and Miss Miriam Murphy.

Blake and Enoch Cheney, assessors of the town of Lisbon, have completed their work and their report was sent in on Thur day to the town clerk. It shows that the grand llst for 1914 amounts to $427,198. This figure shows a de- crease from last year, when there were severai transient property holders in the town who have since removed, and the grand list was $436,881. Over the grand list of two years ago, however, there is an increase of $130,000. Concerning the system employed in Lisbon Tax Commissioner Witliam H. Corbin has this gratifying comment to malke in his biennial report for 1913- 1914: “The board of assessors of the town of Lisbon, consisting of Calvin Wil- cox, Ernest M. Blake and George J. Meyer, caused to be printed the as- sessment list of 1913, giving the item- ized value of all the property belong- ing to_the different individual taxpay- ers. The work done by this board is remarkable as compared with that done in_other country towns in the state. Practically every form of tax- able property has been included in the individual lists and separated in its detall so that 1t is possible to se- cure an accurate comparison of val- vations of similar property through- out the town. A few excerpts from the published lists of the town of Lisbon are given herewith to show the complete detais of the work done. there. R. R.
