John Henry McGowan, caretaker of St. Mary'’s, cemetery, Stonington, was found drowned rday afterncog in the small cove near the cemetery. As his clothing was on the bank of the cove it is evident that he was in bath- ing, probably being taken with cramps and could not reach the shore. Dr. George D. Stanton, medical examiner, was notified, and gave opinion that death was due to accidental drowning. He was the son-of Andrew and Ann Gilmore McGowan and was born in Stonington, Sept. 24, 1867. He is sur- vived by his mother, four sisters and two brothers. Stonington Pointers.

MERCANTILE MARINE REDUCED BY 667 VESSELS During 1914—United Kingdom Lost 101 and Germany 13. London, Aug. 15—Lloyd's statistical summary of vessels of 100 tons up- wards totally lost, condemned or oth- erwise removed shows that during the year 1914 the effective mercantile ma- rine of the world was reduced by 667 vessels of 926,134 tons, of which 491 ‘were steamers of 870,662 tons and 275 sailing vessels of 184,450 tons. This is an increase over the figure of 1913 of 338,000 tons and is due almost wholly to_war operations. The United Kingdom lost 101 ves- sels of 229,179 tons by warships or by mines, while the figures for Germany are 13 vessels of 67,641 tons. Apart from the war, the greatest losses of the world’s shipping are un- der the heading of “wrecked,” 2568 ves- sels of 288470 tons or 40 to 45 per cent. of the total losses being thus classified. While the United Kingdom has lost 2.2 per cent. of the tonnage and 2.483 per cent. of the vessels owned, the losses of neutral countries total 2.37 per cent. and 2.67 per cent respective- = Wheat is Lower Dronubly grown in ia.

While walt- ing for the car the big jitney bus came along and the driver called out “Watch Hill". She and her three children crossed the street to get into the jit- ney, but there was no room for them. They /started back for the station platform, Iona in the lead, and in an instant she was struck and knocked down by the automobile. Harry Crosby, the chauffeur, told the medical examiner that he was driving along at a rate not in excess of twenty miles, when the little girl ran out from behind the jitney bus, and she was struck. by the left mud guard and knocked down.

Quite recently a lady summer resi- dent at Weekapaug, whose permanent residence is in Massachusetts was taken sick with diphtheria and as soon as that disease was diagnozed the pa- tient was removed to a residental sec- tion of the village of Westerly, and placed in the lower tenement of the house at Park and Newton avenues, owned by Dr. John Chamlin. This tenement was unoccupied and has been fitted up for the convenience of the patient. It is understood that the occupants of the upper tenement are residing elsewhere at present. Just as soon as the case was reported to Lewis Stanton, health officer, the ten- ement was placed under the custom- ary quarantine and the house placard- ed, “Diphtheria,” which is all the health officer can do under the cir- cumstances. While the residents of that section have sympathy for the lady In her sickness, there is strong protest against the bringing of the disease to a populous part of the town, and there is cause for a burning sensation in the ears of the party responsible for the transfer of the patient. Redmond P. Connolly, who has been conducting a jitney service between Providence and River Point, and whose plan is to extend the service all over Rhode Island, arrived in Westerly with a jitney bus adopted for fifteen pas- sengers with ease, on Saturday morn- ing, and in the early afternoon he made his initial run for hire. He says he will establish routes between West- erly and Watch Hill and Westerly and Pleasant View, making half hourly trips, with two jitney bueses and more if the patronage warrants. While the terminals will be the same as the trolley road, the route will be removed from the trolley lines as much as pos- sible, the run to Watch Hill and Pleas. ant View being by way of Granite street and East Beverly Bayne, other members of the E-nly com- pany, who are participating in the pro- duction of photoplays under the di- rection of Prodneer Totten, gave more street perfo: in place and repro- duced on the moving picture screen the whole plot is revealed and the public pleased.
