One of thcse accused was arrested at his home on the West Side after the raid. Besides the men, the police secured 120 bottles of beer, 15 bottles of ale, two_bottles partly filled with whiskey, $7.95 off the crap table, and seven packs of cards.

HORSE FELL OVERBOARD. Was About to Go Aboard the Chelsea —Rescued with Difficulty. One of two horses, a bay and a gray. that Louis Levine of Colchester was about to ship on the steamer Chelsea, slid off the gangplank and went into the water at the dock just before the boat was to start Sunday afternoon. It was rescued with considerable diffi- culty by the mate of the boat and two men of the crew, after it had been towed up the Yantlc river and brought ashore above the Chelsea Boat club house. The gangplank had no sides on it and the restive animal, which was the bay horse, slipped overboard when it shied as it was being led along the plank by a member of the crew going down between the dock and the boat. A rowboat from the steamer was at once lowered and a rove was tossed over the head of the swimming horse. As the men in the boat started to take the horse up the east branch of the Yantic to a place where it could walk ashore, the horse’s hind feet became so entangled in the harness that the animal was in danger of going under. The only thing to do was to get hold of its head and hold it up above water by the side of the boat until lana was reached. When the boat was beached above the boat house, the horse was so much tangled up that it could not struggle to its feet until the men had got into the water and cut off the harness. ‘Even then it would not move until it was yanked to its feet, plunging around and “scattering the crowd of helpers right and left. Policemen Frank S. Henderson and Tom Murphy assisted the crowd of workers and a section of fence at the boat house yard was removed in order to get the horse out where it could be led back to the dock of the Chelsea. The boat officials secured a veterinary and wanted to have the shivering horse put into a barn to recover from the effects of its cold bath, but the owner wanted to resume the trip on the boat. However, §vhen the animal was about to be taken aboard again, Mr. Levine decided not to go and the boat departed, leaving the two horses in the freight shed. To the County Home. Joseph William Dayall was commit- ted to the county home by Judge Ay- ling on Friday upon application of the selectmen.

Mrs. Dayall is in the Backus hospital and will be con- fined there for some time to come. ‘When she left her home a neighbor agreed to care for the boy. He con- tracted the mumps and the neighbor, who had so much to attend to, was unable to care for him. For a while he was in the hospital and later was taken to the almshouse. As Super- intendent Chapman thought it best the boy should attend school it was ad- visable to have him committed to the home until his mother recovered and is able to care for him. In the City Court. At the Saturday morning session of the city court Judge Kelly sentenced John A. Clark of Taftville to jail for 15 days on the charge of falling to support his wife and family. Attorney Bailey demurred to the complaint, but it was overruled. by the court. An appeal was taken and a bond of $200 was provided. Constable Daley made the arrest. Mr. and Mrs. Clark were parties in a divorce trial recently, but Clark_lost his case. A Westerly man 62 years of age was charged with drunkenness and was discharged by the court. Andrew Chapman, who was accused of intoxication, was placed on proba- tion until May 1. He hails from Provi- dence, where he hLas been living for some time past. Secured Divorce in Hartford. Tn the Hartford superior court on Friday Florence Hinton Hoffman of Hartford was divorced from John Her- man Hoffman, last heard from in Jer- sey City.

JEWISH INDUSTRIAL=AID Relief Society Had to ‘Retrench Some on ‘Account of War. The annual report of the Jewish Ag- ricultural and Industrial Aid soclety, which has clients in Chesterfleld, Boz- rah, Colchester, Ellington and other Connecticut localities, which has just been made public, shows that although the activities of the organization were appreciably affecteq by the European war, the work was carried tneon an extensive scale. Of the work in gen- eral, Alfred Paretzki, the president, says: “T am pleased to point out, however, that the program of retranchment we were compelled to adopt has not seri- ously affected any of our activities, and the curtailment is purely relative. We have made this vear 327 farm loans as against 423 last year, 390 in 1912, and 384 in 1911. But this year's loans ex- ceed in amount the loans granted in any prior year. We have also added two states—Florida and Minnesota—to our field of operations. The amount of this year's loans is $170,811.92. “We have received in the way of repayments from our, farmers $124,- 786.37, as against $119,225.97 in 1913. Of the amount collected $93,022.05 was principal and $31,764.32 interest. While we collected $5,560.40 more than the preceding year and fully came up to expectations as regards interest, we fell somewhat short of our estimate on the principal. “Nothwithstanding the compulsory restriction of our activitles this year, the growth of our society has been steady and cumulative. Since its in- ception each year saw the society in a stronger_ position than In the one preceding. During the fifteen years we granted a total of 3,318 loans aggre- gating $1,910,227.68. These loans were made to 2,876 farmers, occupying 2,387 individual farms in 34 states and in Canada. The loans outstanding at this writing_number 1,4880 and agsre- gate a total of $9788196.62. “Our farm labor bureau this year placeq 937 men in positions as farm laborers, a falling off of 180 from last year, but an increase of 114 over 1912. Counting the laborers placed more than once during the year, the num- ber of positions secured is 1,104. The total cost of conducting this bureau was $1,243.71, which is $1.13 per cap- 1 Movements of Steamships, New York, March 7.—Sailed, steam- ers Dante Algheirio, Genoa: Chicago, Havre.

DIVINE AUTHORITY IN THE CHURCH Subject of Lenten Sermon at St. Pat- rick’s Church. At the Lenten service at St. Pat- rick’s church Sunday evening, Father Walter, a Passionist missionary from Boston, delivered a powerful sermon before ‘a_congregation which was the largest that has been present at these special Lenten services, speaking uron the general theme of the divine right of the church to promulgate and en- force her laws. In his opening words he referred to the modern trend of Indifference to legislation and the fashion of men to refuse to recognize any authority out- side of their own sweet will, which he compared to a similar_ condition in the days of old when the Jews said: bow effor little olive-color p tablets do the calor but have no after effec don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold ®of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, “dullness” and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver.

He pointed out how the church was concerned with the spiritual welfare and the state with the temporal wel- fare and that the church has the just right to make the necessary laws for securing the proper worship of God. He asked how it was that men would obey irksome laws of the state. but when the church asks for obedience they seem so unwilling to obey unless it pleases them. The church is not a mere human institution with mere human_authority, but exists by divine right, locming up through the centu- ries with the divine seal of approval upon her brow, towering over govern- ments and exercising an authority that none of them possess. The real reason why men refuse to obey God’s Jaws, Is the diabolical spirit of pride. They say they don’t want to be dictated to by anv pope, bishop or priest. They say they don’t want anyone to come between them and God, but this, the preacher said. is a mis- erable subterfuge. God the Creator has the right to tell you how he wants to be worshipped and He does so de- clare through his representatives.
