The actual loss is covered by insur- aace, but the parish will suffer & mone- tary loes in addition to the building and its furnishings, as a successful kirmess was being conducted in the building during eight nights this month, and all of the properties and articles used or. for sale in connection therewith were damaged.

The second fire loss within a few months at Hop River occurred Satur- day afternoon, when the plant of the National Seat and Novelty company, run by A. J. Kinsman of this city, was destroyed by fire. The previous loss was the damage done in January to the plant of the American Board com- pany in the same vicinity.

The building was of wooden con- struction, about 70 feet long and half as wide, and was erected a few vears ago, and located near the railroad sta- tion. About 20 people were employed there. The estimated value of the plant was $10,000, and only $4,000 in- surance was carried at the time of the fire.

An automobile driven by Michael Caron of Jordan road, employed at the velvet mill, collided with Napoleon Douglas, a bicycle rider of 15, near Jordan Bros. store Saturday afternoon.

Mr. Caron stopped his car and took the lad to the office of Dr. Girouard on Union street, where an examination revearled no serious injuries, but a few bruises and scratches. The police investigated the accident but the boy claimed no one was to blame.

Mesting to Consider Bank Merger. Trustees of the Brooklyn _Savings bank were sent notices on Saturday for a meeting to be held on Wednes- day of next week at which meeting they will pass upon the proposition to merge with the Windham Countq Sav- ings bank, probably under the name of the Brooklyn Savings bank. The notices were sent out in com- pliance with the statute requirement that ten days’ notice be given of a meeting at which such action is con- templated. Why be neutral? asks a local business man, and adds: If you favor war, dig a trench in your backyard, fill it half full of water, crawl into it and stay there for a day or two without anything to eat, get a luna- tic to shoot at you with a brace of re- volvers and a machine gun, and you will have something just as good and you wili save your country a great deal of expense. NEW $2,000 ORGAN Ordered for St. James’ Church—An- other $1,000 Paid on Parish Debt. r At the masses at St. James' church Sunday morning Rev. M. J. Ginet, M.

The new organ will cost about $2,000 and will combine all the modern im- provements in the art of the organ builder. Another especially interesting an- nouncement by Father Ginet Sunday morning was that he has just paid another $1,000 on the debt of the par- ish, this being a duplication of a num- ber of such payments made during his exceedingly successful pastorate here. ran 1; hit by pitcher, by Madsen 9, by Connors 1, by Brennan 1; passed balls, Cone 2; left on bases, Dart- mouth 12, Rockville 4; time, 2.00; um- pire, John J.

Clark, 96, Fined $50 for lllegal Liquor Selling in Woodstock—State Police Made the Arrest—Cleanup Week Ends—Suffrage Talk Follows Cowslip Supper at Eastford. Beautiful, peaceful, no-license Wood- stock was somewhat farred Saturday when State Policemen Jackson, Bridge- man and Flynn flashed into the town in & big machine and arrested the venerable W. G. Clark, aged 95, Proprietor of an i6n at West Wood- stock, for illegally trafficking in liquor. Liquor eelling is not a popular pas~ time for anyone to engage in in Wood- stock, where a man would have about as much chence of getting a license as he would from Hon. W. J. B, 80 the arrest was in the line of an astounding occurrence. The state police have had a man in West Woodsotck for some time, 80 it is evident that someone up that way had notified the state police depart- ment that there was gomething doing. The agent made good on the job. State Policeman Jackson said after the raid, and the proceedings that fol- lowed if, that the officers found ten empty, and new, rum kegs there. They also got a quart of whiskey. Clark, in wireless range of the cenfury mark, was arraigned before Justice Clarence E. Chester of Chaplin and fined $50, which he paid. Charles Hall, in Clark's employ, was fined $10, which he pald. State Policeman Jackson quotes Hall as saying: “We had to get a living some way.” Clark, it appears, is not a citizen of the United States, although bora in €904, old New Hampshire. At an early age he went into Canada and eventual- ly became a British subject. He re- turned to the states about 33 years ago but has never renounced his allegiance to the British crown, though he is not worrying about conscription for ser- vice in the war zone. At 95 years of age he is a real active mam, for his years, and upon re-entering business at such an advanced ago, two or three years ago, was the subject of a number of newspaper writeups. In a Few Words. Deputy Sherift John Filts of Hamp- ton was a visitor in Putnam Saturdaey, assisting state officers in a raid in ‘Woodstock. Miss Josephine M. Gifford and Dor- othy Beard conducted the C. E. meet- ing at the Congregational church Sun- day evening. George C. Patenaude of Woonsocket Yisited friends in Putnam over Sun- ay At a_meeting of Cargill council, K. of C., Sunday afternoon the third de- gree was conferred upon a class of candidates. Mrs. C. V. Benedict of Norwalk was a visitor with Putnam friends over Sunday. Some legislative matters of speciai interest to Putnam will not be heard of again for at least two years, for they have not been passed, and the legislature may adjourn tomorrow (Tuesday). No frosts of a damaging nature were reported in this section Saturday morning, when the temperature drop- ped so low as to threaten damage to crops. Attractive Grounds at Country Club. Members of the Putnam Country club were at the “home™ south of the city Saturday afternoon to inspect the grounds, which are beautiful at this time of year. End of Cleanup Week. Cleanup week came to end Satur- day with many property owners put- ting in the time slicking up backyards and other places where waste matter has accumulated during the winter months. Israel Putnam School Sanitary. Smoke and water tests conducted at the Israel Putnam school Saturday to determine whether or not there are any sewer gas leaks into the building showed an utter absence of the same and that the plumbing is_ perfectly tight. Supt. Harold W. Files was present while the tests were being made. Bond Buying Pleasing Locally. It is with special interest that stu- dents in the world of finance note a tendency of the security buying public to turn from standard stocks, which have been fluctuating in many in- stances in a surprising degree, to bonds. Liberal buying of bonds will tend to improve the market for them and if prices will advance in substan- tial degree it will be of special benefit to the depositors in the Putnam Sav- ings bank, which holds a great many high grade bonds, depressed in value in some cases and in some degree. Cowslip Supper and Suffrage Talk. In response to an invitation, Miss Rosamond Danielson, county chairman of the Connecticut Suffrage associa- tion, went to Eastford Friday evening to address a meeting under the au- spices of the Ladies’ Ald society of the Methodist church in that place. There was also a “cowslip” supper and an entertainment. Miss Marjorie Burgess of this city gave several readings and there were two solos by Mrs. Rawley, Mrs. Pierre Myer accompanist. Mrs. UNDERGOES SURGICAL OPERATION. Rev. W. D. Swaffield Hurried to Provi- dence Hospital Suffering from Ap- pendicitis. At the Parade street hospital in Providence Sunday morning at 10 o'clock Rev. W. D. Swaffield, pastor of the Baptist church here, was success- fully operated on for appendicitis. Rev. Mr. Swaffield has been at Lake Winne- pesaukie, New Hampshire, the past few days and has done some rather labor- ious work about the place where he spends his summers. To this he charged the pain that he suffered while returning home Saturday with Ermest R. Warren, but Dr. George M. Bur- roughs, who was called upon Rev. Mr. Swaffield’s arrival here, diagnosed the trouble as appendicitis. Rev. Mr Swatfield was taken to Providence Sat- urday evening by Mr. Warren in the latter's automobile, At the hospital Sunday afternoon it was said that had the operation been delayed for another 24 hours Rev. Mr. Swaffleld's coadition would have be- come highly critical, but he was then resting comfortably. Their pastor's sudden illness came as a great shock to the congregation of the Baptist church, where the ser- vice on Sunday was conducted by Rev. H. B. Goodsell of South Killingly. OBITUARY.

Dr. Osler on Diphtheria. Relative to diphtheria, which is caus- ing much discussion in the city at the present time, Dr. E. F. Perry, acting city health officer, quotes the noted Dr. Osler as follow: Diphtheria, Etiology Modes of Infection—The dicease is highly contagious. The bacilii may be transmitted (a) from one person to another; few diseases have proved more fatal to physicians and nurses.
