Boston Store Watchman Heard Ham- mering About 4 o'clock—Thought It Came From Club Caretaker in Shanpon Building. Sounds of hammering heard by the watchman at the Boston store at about 4 o'clock Monday morning seem to locate that as the time when _the burglars were at work in the United Cigar Stores place in the adjoining building where they got about $200 after taking the safe into the cellar and breaking it open. The watchman did nothing about the noise he heard, it is understood, because he believed the noise came from some one in the Shetucket club rapping a hrush on the window sill as he had heard this done before. Accordingly Fe did not investigate to_see what the noise might be. Selecting such an hour for their work shows_ how closely the mauraud- ers had laid their plans to run the least chance of detection as this is the hour when the central part of the city has the least number of police- men on patrol Guty there as most of the night men finish their beats at 4 o'clock and are on their way home very shortly afterwards. Further details as to the use the burglars made of the Shannon build- ing have also bLeen learned as it is understood that the sledge hammer with which they worked was left in the oflice of Attorney John D. Hall on the second floor of the Shannon building, whose windows are in close proximity to the roof where the sky- light to the cigar store is. OBITUARY. Joseph Travelli Tracy.

Case, Spalding DECISIONS IN TWO COMMON PLEAS CASES Given by Judge Waller—In Suits Over Automobile and Hors The auto case of John A. Morgan, conservator for John A. Morgan, Jr. of Norwich v: Charles R. Cooke of Pendleton Hill, has been decided by Judge Waller in favor of the plain- tiff. In his finding Judge Waller says: I find that John A. Morgan, Jr, bought the auto in question and that he caused a receipt for the same, as well as the register. to be made out in the name of the defendant for pur- poses which were expressed at the time. I cannot find that there was an intent on the part of Morgan to make an absolute gift of the auto to the defendant at the time it was pur- chased or that such a gift was in fact ever made. Judgment may therefore be entered for the plaintiff for the possession of the auto described in the complaint together with costs of this action, Mr. Morgan was represented by F. H. Brown. Judge Waller has decided the horse case 0of Theodore D. Picard vs. Ray. mond Crowley in favor of Mr. Picard. Judge Waller's finding reads as fol- lows: I find that the plaintiff has estab- lisheq the allegations of the complaint to the effect that the horse in ques- tion was sound in condition when the defendant hired the horse and that the condition of the horse, when re- turned, was due to the defendant's failure to exercise ordinary care. I find that the defendant's negli- gence was the proximate cause of the death of the horse. - Judgment may be entered for the plaintiff to recover of the defndant the sum of $250 MAYOR CALLS MEETING IN RESPONSE TO PETITION City's Interests in Separation of City and Town to Be Discussed. In response to a petition with the requisite number of signers on it Mayor T. C. Murphy has called a spe- cial city meeting in the town hall for next Monday evening when the bus- iness to come before it will be to ex- press the sentiment of the citizens re- garding the plan now before the leg- islature of dividing the town of Nor- wich Into two towns and to consider the city’s interests in the matter and take any necessary action. It is understood that those inter- ested in the meeting will probably endeavor to have action taken on two ways, first, expressing opposition to the proposed plan of division, and, second, expressing to any future at- tempt at consolidation of city and town unless such consolidation should be requested by the outlying sections of the town. It is anticipated that the meeting will be & big one and that the interest that has been aroused since the sep- aration plan has been brought to the front will result in a very thorough discussion of the subject from all points of view.

With his subject The Glories of the Irish Race, Rev. William A. Koefe, pastor of St. John's church of Plain- fleld, thrilled a large audience with his eloquence at the entertainment Eiven Tuesday evening in Pulaski hall under the auspices of St. Mary's par Rev, Fr. Keefe, who was formerly a curate at St. Mary’s, was presented to the audience by the rector, Rev. J. H. Fitzmaurice, and spoke as follow There are thousands of gloriously in- spiring lessons to be learned by men of every natlon and creed from a study of 1 glories inspired by St. Patrick’s wonderful achievements and remark- able influence upon Irish character. Ireland’s conversion to Christianity Dby St. Patrick is probably the only case in all history where an entire country was led to Christ by one man, and that without costing the apostle a single tear, on hour of sorrow or a drop of blood. And we are proud to know that the church of Christ never glorled in nobler defenders and more generous supporters through all the terrible changes and struggles of Christian history than the sons and daughters of the Isle of St. Patrick. His religion anq his influence in- spired and directed every hero and all the heroism of Irish Christian history. It taught the pagan kings of Tarra and Armagh to adore the Prince of Peace and made Bridget of Kildare and the daughters of Erin models of picty and purity throughout the whole world. Patrick's doctrines inspired Finlan and iKeran and Brenden and armies of monks and nuns to build up the great schools and colleges of Clonard and Clonfet and Bangor and Tismore and Cloumacunise and Glen- dalough to educate tens of thousanis from every country and to win for the home of our ancestors the glorious title Land of Saints and Scholars, Patrick’s influence gave Columbkille strength to bear the tortures of exile and heartaches for the conversion of the Scots and Picts. It sent Aiden to teach Christian civilization in Essex and Northumbia. It sent Columbanus to bear Christ's doctrines to.Burgundy and Bregenty and northern Italy. It inspired St. Gall and St. Killian and St. Livinus and countless other Irish missionaries to evangelize Switzerland and Wurtzburg and Brabant and other countries of Europe. _Irish love and Irish zeal for the prac- tice and spread of St. Patrick’s re- liglon cost your forefathers and mine centuries of the most terrible persecu- tion and sorrows and exile ever record- ed ‘in Christian history. Irisch faith and Irish valor were fested most se- verely in the fires of penal laws and horrible punishments. But, thank God, Irish fidelity never weakened and S Patrick’s sons and daughters are still working wonders for the evangelization and_education of the nations. When the priests of Ireland were banished and hunted and slaughtered our Catholic ancestors rallied glorious- ly hear to heart and shoulder to shoulder around their soggarth aroon while in mountain caverns and peas- ants’ cabins he dared to offer up the august sacrifice of Mount Calvary, When education was prohibited and the Catholic teacher was driven from the land, the Irish hedge school master gathered the boys and girls of Ireland around him in the shade of a prickly hedge, taught them to read and write and gave one of the world's grandest examples of national sacrifice for edu- cation. In those little Irish gatherings around the hedge master—in those cabin turf built schools, with earthen floors and hard stone seats, Irish learning was kept alive and Irish schol- ars were trained to take honorable places among the world’s brightest teachers. The noble spirit that inspired the missionaries and scholars of Ireland to deeds of glory raised the soldiers and statesmen of Ireland up among the world's greatest heroes. It won the crown for Malachi, wearer of the collar of gold. It strengthened the arm of Brian Boru as he held the crucifix aloft and led his heroes to battle for God and country at Cloutorf. It burned in the hearts of the O'Nells and O'Donnels and O'Briens. It made Sarsfield the word and Sarsfield the man that roused the women of Lim- erick to fight and die with their hus- bands and sons in the heroic defense of the walls of their beloved city, and it won martyrs' crowns for Maxwell's heroes at the Bridge of Athlone. Love of Ireland made thousands of noble men like Robert Emmet and Lord Ed- ward Fitzgerald regret that they had but one life to give for their country. It inspired the eloquence of Gratten, etc, and Meagher and made Daniei O'Connell, the greatest layman of his time, the emancipator of 7,000,000 peo- ple and the greatest patriot of the age, Irish heroism gave marshals and generals and commanders to the armies ard navies of France and England and Spain and Austria and -made the shamrock and the wearing of the green eymboly of bravery throughout the ‘world. Brazil and Paraguay honor the no- ble Limerick Jesuit, Father Field, who converted 150,000 natives and founded their Christian civilization. Argentine republic glorifies the deeds of Irish Admiral Brown. Chill and Peru_ re- vere the memory of Ambrose O'Hig- gens, viceroy of Peru, and his son, Bernard, dictator of Chill, and they ali honor John Devereaux, the South American Lafayette, who led his gal- lant Irish legion with Bolivar in the liberation of Bolivia. Our country, the greatest republic on earth, the United States of America, can never begin to measure the influ- ence of Irish heroism and Irish virtue in the foundation, defense and progress of this land of the free and home of the brave. Blood of Irish martyrs bap- tized our young republic with Parker and .Sullivan and Moylan and Morgan and Anthony Wayne at-Bunker Hill CRAZY MAN TAKEN TO THE ALMSHOUSE.
