Mrs. Deborah L. Mert Had Not Seen Her Husband Since He Left, in 1908. A short calendar session af the su- perior court was held in this city Fri- day morning, with Judge James H. Webb on the bench. As_several at- torneys were in constlfation over the settlement of a pendifg ‘case, short calendar matters were fifst disposed £ / *“Deborah L. Merrill of Batavia, N. Y., obtained a divorce on tbe grounds of desertion from John F. Merrill of this city. According to plaintiff’s testimony the couple were married April 4, 1907 in Danville, and lived together about 13 months. In - May, 1908, Mr. Mer- rill took ali of his belongings and went away, saying he was going to Buffalo to look for work, and his wife had never seen him since, She received several letters from him and In_August of the same year he wrote he was working in Hartford. Soom_after Mrs. Merrill wrote to his boarding place, and to the chief of police, but could get no trace of her husband. She has been supporting herself by nursing, and lately became am_embaimer.

According to a statement made by officials of the local plant of the Amer- ican Thread company, Friday, they are going to exert every effort to have Recreation park, the site of the old fairgrounds, in the best of shape be- fore Old Home and School week. A roque court will be built near the river banks, quoit courts are now being laid out, as is a jumping pit for pole vaulting. The baseball diamond is in fine shape now, and the old diamond is being overhauled. In addition, swings and other appliances will be put up in the park and it is the hope of the company that the public will take much pleasure there. The games, of course, will be under the supervision of the company, but they state that the park is for the public use, and there are many pleasant spots for pic- nicking, ete. A new entrance way to the park is to be made, going through the trian- gular shaped lot bounded by Main and Factory streets, so that there will be but one entrance to the grounds. The plans call for the removal of the house standing near the entrance, and the closing of Factory street as a thor- oughfare. This will make a larger park and add to its attractiveness, Drill Under New Commander, The first regular drill of Co. L un- der Lieut. H. E_F. Tiesing was held Thursday night in the armory. Lieut. Tiesing has been given command of the company since the resignation of Captain Dondero, and takes over charge with two lieutenants and some men short of the requisite num- er of 68 for a full company. He states that it is his hope to have the com- pany recruited to its full strength be- fore the state encampment this sum- mer. Co. L is splendidly equipped, with a fine new armory, parlors, pocket bil- iexd tables, a good Kitchen outfit, and ything necessary to make it a'good place for young men to spend more or less of their time, and it is the plan of the new commander to push the company to the fore, and make it an organization of which the city will be proud, and quite up to the record of Willimantic companies in the past. Penny Dated 1789 Found. In tearing down the old Regan house on lower Main street this week, a pen- ny bearing the date of 1789 was found the workmen in one of the old hioned fireplaces.

Armington Reports $638 Balance, At the annual meeting of the Civic Federation, held in the chapel of the Methodist church Friday evening, the Teports of the secretary, Miss Emma F. Pilling, and the treasurer, Mrs, A. H. Armington, were as follows: Report of Secretary. The Civic Federation has had, dur- ing the past year, a membership of 116; 83 active members and 33 asso- ciate members. There have been held eight regular meetings, seven execu- tive committee meetings, and two spe- clal meetings. The largest number present at any one meeting was 18; smallest number 10; average attend- ance 14. At the annual meeting May 1, 1914, the Federation voted to have a “clean- up week.” Later Mrs. Alfred L. Reid and Mrs, Nathan D. Prince were ap- pointed a committes to carry on the work. In connection with this, 800 cards were printed and valuable sug- geSTlons for making and keeping the borough clean. These cards were dis- tributed among the school children and sent into the homes. The Business Men’s association generously contri- buted $10 for carrying on the work. Plans for a ‘“clean-up week” were made this spring, but the action of the board of health, insisting upon sanitary conditions in the borough, made it seem unnecessary for the Fed- eration to perfect its plans: It was also voted at the last annual meeting to provide not more than 12 cans to be placed on the park and on Main street to be used as receptacles for rubbish. Twelve cans were pur- chased at a cost of $18. These were ac- cepted by the borough officlals, who became responsible for their care. May 11, by request of the Good Samaritan soclety, the Federation voted to take charge of the supplies of that organization, assume its in- debtedness and in refurn receive what money it had in its treasury, the Good Samaritan society to retain its organ- ization. For some time the Federa- tion had needed more ample accom- modation for its supplies, and the af- filiation with the Good Samaritan as- sociation made it necessary to find at once a room. This has been pro- Yided by the town, free of charge, in Town_hall. In May the junior auxilfary of the Civic Federation had u successful tag- day which added $100 to the treasury. In the same month Mrs. George Bur- roughs opened her home for a mil- itary whist, the proceeds of which were $31. In the early summer Mr. and Mrs. T. E, Hopking offered the use of their beautifl grounds for a lawn fete, the proceeds of which should be given to the Federation. The offer was ac- cepted and on the lst of July a very attractive _ entertainment was given, PUTNAM NEWS PUTNAM ‘Dr. E. F.

Gelssler Friday morn- ing—120 daye for breach of the peace, 30 days for having been intoxicated. Lablanche came to town with the idea that he could abuse anyone he liked— and get away with it. He _visited homes and made a nuisance of himself, finally getting locked up. He is old enough to know a whole lot better, but his age doesn’t seem to help any. if he ‘hasn’t improved, he must have been something tough as a youngster.

BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION Outlines Year's Programme and Names persons who are rated as bums and who get into the city court are not soing to bave a pleasant time. The number of arrests has jumped amaz- ingly this spring. Those who get into court are for the most part rounders. They are not to be tolerated in this town and will find it to their benefit to keep away. That is the dictum of the court. Arrests Increasing. The arrests during March number 29, with 31 in April and 13 so far this month, altogether out of proportion to what the city has been accustomed to for the past few vears. Former Residents Lost on Lusitania. The notice of the death on the Lusi- tania of Dr. Frederick Stark Pearson and Mrs. Pearson, who was Miss Ward, both formerly of Putnam, has further local interest in that William H. Ward, C. E, father of Mrs. Pearson, was a brother of Samuel Ward, the manufac- turing stationer of Boston, and Sam- uel Ward and the late Prof. F. E. Bur- nett were classmates at Amherst col- loge, where they were the tallest men in thei class. Dr. Pearson came to be one of the greatest consulting engi- neers in the world and at one time PR S The fete continued through the eve- ning and added $112.97 to the treas- ury. August 19, Mrs. W. E. LaBelle gave the proceeds of his soda fountain, for a day, to the visiting nurse fund. Young ladies served and the sum of $26.05 was realized. When the Federation took up its regular work in October it was decided to reorganize the Choral Union and give Pinafore. However, so little in- terest was manifested that the plan ‘was not carried out. In November the amount in the treasury had fallen below $500, there- fore the Federation felt the necessity of increasing its money-making activ- ities. During that month the Fed- eration held a food sale, a rummage sale, and a military whist. The food sale was at the home of Mrs. A. H. Armington and netted $19.25. The rummage sale under the very efficient management of Miss Helen Perkins, gave the Federation $103.28, and the military whist at Mrs. M. A. Shum- way’'s added $43.85 to the month’s eornings. February 2, 1915, the Federation gave a_ “Cotton ball” Although the day brought the worst storm of the sea- son, the ball was a great success, both financially and socially; $151.32 was realized from this. In April the Junior auxiliary gave the play The Time of His Life. It was admirably done and netted $77.83. The young people by the tag day and play have contributed during the year $177.83. The Federation is most ap- preciative of the assistance of the Juniors. In April, too, the Bohemian club gave the use of its rooms for a mil- itary whist, which increased the amount in the Federation treasury, $75.40. During the winter a series of chain parties were given by a number of members and $16 was realized from this source, It is with sreat regret that we an- nounce the resignation of Miss Field as visiting nurse. She has shown in her work during the nearly two vears that she has been with us, conscien- tious devotion, enthusiasm, rare tact and good judgment. It will certainly be_difficult t fill her place. ‘We regret, too, the decision of Mrs. (Continued on Page Six) Special Committees. The_directors of the Putnam Busi- ness Men's association at a meeting held at the Putnam inn prepared a statement of principles and a pro- gramme for the year which will be published soon, and offered for adop- tion at the adjourned annual meeting to be held on June 11. Postmasier Alexander Gilman and W. E. Davison and A. W. Marcy were named a com- mittee to arrange for a lecture by Df. Jay William Hudson at the Bradley theatre Sunday evening, June 6. John G. Johnson and Charles E. Dean wers appointed to investigate garbage dis- posal, which is a subject that the as- sociation means to take up for study and solution. One Diphtheria Carrier Detected. All cultures taken for diphtherla at the Israel Putnam school Wednesdey and Thursday were returned from the state laboratory to Dr. E. F. Perry Friday. The result was to show one “carrier” of the disease germs, thig case having been detected upon exam- ination Wednesday and the boy sent to his home. No new cases were re- ported from the school Friday. Ten cases of the disease have been reported from the school. Dr. Perry sald Friday _afternoon that the situation at the school is ab- solutely under control and that there is'no danger of an outbreak from there. Suffragists Interested in Hartford Convention. Members of the Putnam Equal Fran- chise league are much interested in the convention of the Congregational union to be held at Hartford June 8-9. The object of the convention is to organize support in Connecticut for the Susan B. Anthony amendmeat to the federal constitution. Since 1913, suffragists throughout the country have been working to secure such gn amend- ment, which was defeated, however, at the last session of congress. The gain in strength in both house and semate was so great, nevertheless, as to en- courege the workers to new effort and the claim is that the amendment will be approved in the sixty-fourth con- gress if the percentage of increase in strength can be maintained. It is om the subject of the convention that An- ie G. Porritt and Katherine B. Day, both of Hartford, are expected to speak here next week. Young Thieves’ Cases Disposed Of. Worcester papers of Friday reported upon the disposition of cases of young men who heve been in the Worcester Jail for several months on charges of breaking and entering and other of- fenses of minor importance. & This gang is the same that broke into the store of Milot & Williams in the Peloquin block on Elm street during the winter and stole goods to the value of severa] hundred dollars. Their vis- itation was repeated, and on one occa- sion they left four suit cases packed with stolen articles under a small building near the tracks in the rail- road yards. It was hoped to cateh them when they returned for the se- creted goods, but this plan did not work out.
