On cross examination he admitted tell- ing counsel for the defense, Attorney A. G. Bill and Mr, Frost, that he knew nothing about the goods except that they were signed for by Drew. He stated that the goods were received Dec. 17 and delivered Dec. 18, although he admitted that it was Drew's eus- tom to let the bills stand and sign a lot of them at one time, relying on his memory for - their correctness.

T} following is the aubstance ol the annual statement of Mayor Daniel P. Dunn to the common council, giv- ing.an account of the work done in the past year: Street Lighting. The streets of the city are now being illuminated by 100 street arc lamp electric lights, costing the city $80 annually for each,.and 132 incan- descent electric lights at $20.50 per an- num. The incandescent .lamp has proven the more satisfactory light, and | should be given the preference When| 00Ty a new contract is entered into. The total cost for lighting the streets for the elawen months last past amounted to $9.607.11, an increase of $270.60 over a similar period of the previous year. The increase is due ot the additional number of incan- descent lights instailed after full in- vestigation of their necessity. Sewers. The sewer in Mansfield Menue from Main street to Quarry street h: m completed and about 800 lineal fee sewer has been laid in South Park street, and all at a cost of $2,066:51. The work of connecting the tenement houses on Arnold Lane and the Quid- nick-Windham property with the pub- lic sewer through the Quidnick-Wind- ham .company’s property is.now being’ performed and when completed will be a decided sanitary improvement.in that locality. Sidewalks. During the past year 38,135.03 lineal feet of sidewalk construction, making aboyt 1 1-6 miles in length, has been. effected, and. 2,087 lineal feet of side- walk eurbing reset. The entire work ‘was done at an expense of $6,628.84. The amount received - from‘ abutting property owners for ‘‘sidewalks -pre- viously - econstructed was $1,913.42, Probably no work under your super- vision ‘meets with more general aj proval than intelligent and consistent sidewalk construction, and its contin- uation wuntil. good walks throughout the: city cannot strongly recommend d. The ‘people . of the ,city are to be congratulated upon being favered byl exemption from: contagious: and in- fectious diseases throughout the year. The excellent prevalent conditions can in part be ascribed to the - sanitary plumbing regulations passed by the common council and the ‘effective in- spection and enforcement of the rules by the plumbing insj water as shown by memmtomdhbalma’mms or SLEP v, Vsl!iet Favors D.D.D. . 5 Th anee. - to serve you. and-up to $35.00. 26-piece- White Dinner Set a-good value— * .

I recommen tinuation of the ice plant and the en- tering Into a contract for a term of years with some responsible person or firm for the disposition of the ice at a fair profit to the ecity and a minimum cost to ‘its inhabitants. Water, ‘The water department continues to be the onmly city investment that re- turns a profit to the treasury. During the year the rentals amounted to $23,- 312.12, the servi connections $203.98, the maten sold $239.85. = These items with the balance on hand December. 1914, of 83.21! T4 mnke a total of $2§,- 970.69. The expenses of the depart- ment for the past 11 months was $16.- 560.06, which with interest on bonds $5.000, interest on borrowed money $187.91 and amount paid of borrowed money $6,500,. leaves a balance on hand November 1, 1915, of $5,410.63. Streets. The sum of $15,000 was appropriated by the last annual city meeting for the maintaining of streets and the purchase of trap rock therefor. Of this Sum the street department has experided $14,488.836. More trap rock has been used for top-dressing the streets last year than in any previous length of time. Nine carloads were spread on_lower Main street, 27 car- loads en Pleasant street and 79 ear- Toads on Other streets of the city. A spectal appropriation of $2,000 was voted for the repairing of Pleasant street and the same has been expended and Pleasant street placed in a very satisfactory condition for travel. A like ‘sum of $2,000 was appropriated: for the repair of West Main street, the work of which is now in progress and it is expected/will be completed before the termination of the term of this administration. An appropriation of $5,000 was'also voted for block pavement: construction on Main street. ‘This: work has done, consisting of the laying of 1,750 square yards of block paving on Main street between Lineoln square and Jackson street, at ‘a- total cost. to the city of $4,946.99. or practically $2.82 per square yard. The completion ‘of this work leaves a very tisfactory strip of ‘block paving on g street ‘over the business part of. The. cost of malntenance of a nreet constructed of block pave- ment is so slight that the first expense thereof. proven a good investment, and the cleanliness of the street has enhanced its desirability. I therefore recommend an_ extension of this Kind of the construction and believe that an appropriation should be made for that purpose. to build Church and North streets. from Main street to Valley street with stone block pavement. I further recommend that Jackson street be rebuilt and macadamized from Union street to the city line. This is one of the most important out- Its present is worn out and needs imme- am. attention. Fire Department. Only one serious fire occurred dur- ing the past year, that of the Youngs puilding on Main street, and the efi- cient service of the department at that fire proved the excelleney of its disci- pline and effectiveness. Two thousand feet of new hose has been purchased at a cost of about $1,300. Six hundred. dol of this amount fis included in the special appropria- tion of $1,500 voted for such purpose and the laying of a floor in the Mont- gomery Hose company building. The latter item has not yet been utilized. g constant increase of property values in the city render the use of a motor truck in connection with the department almost a necessity. I rec- ommend thut a committee be appoint- ed to investigate the matter thorough- ly and report with their recommenda- :{:m to a meeting in the hnm:dlate fu- re. In connection with this department I regret to announce the demise of the chief thereof, Fred W. Gerrick. You have already recognized the de. plorable event by appropriate reso- lutions of respect to his memory and acknowledgment of his loyal services. I desire to add_thereto my personal tribute w m. tjthtunm in the per- formance of official - duties, my high esteem of hu merit as a citizen of our community, and my sincere ad- miration of the true requisite of man- possessed. ice Department.

JEWETT CITY Charles Bryant Held Up Above Plain- field, Wrests Revolver from Masked Man and Knecks Him Down—Saved by Unexploded Cartridge. Charles Bryant, a young man em- loyed at Bailey” able, was coming yme from Moosup alone in an auto- mobile about 10 o'clock Tuesday eve- ning. When approaching the back wanted the ballot, the size of the vote in Massachusetts and in New York and elsewhere showed plainly tbat men were going to give women the privilege goon. For the broader sphere of activi- ties which would be brought about then, and because women now busied themselves about many more things not thought of years ago, education was needed for women. After another selection by the or- ¢hestra, Principal Burr introduced Mrs. Mitchell, who was one of the earliest enthusiasts for the college, and is now a trustee. Mrs. Mitchell sketched the start of the idea and told of the early difficulties experienced. The wonder- ful spirit shown in New London at the start insured the success of the insti- tution. The charter granted the col- lege is most liberal. Mr. Plant's erous contribution- lifted a great load from the shoulders of the commitiee in charge -of raising the first necessary funds. Contrary to a prevailing opin- iom, the rollege is to have no state aid. The plan of its founders was against that. Théir purpose is to place a col- lege in Connecticut the equal of any college for women in the east. Mrs. ‘Wright then spoke of the ‘needs for higher eudcation of women, the special grouping of work and courses at the new college, with Its advantages, and the special need for dormitories at the college, closirig with a plea for contributions and memorial gifts to ald the worthy cause. Pledge cards were distributed during the meeting, to be sent to the commit- tee later. Brief Mention, John Reilly is in New York on bus- iness. T, I Bostan.

'Then they grappled and both fell to the ground. During the scufffe the highwayman got the muszle of his weapan against Bryant's cheek and pulled again, but by the merest chance the cartridge failed to explode. Then Bryant, who is a husky voung chap, was able to wrench the | revolver from his assailant's hand and dealt him a couple of sharp raps on | the head with its butt.

Many say ant would have been justified in ‘shooting the man,| in his possession, and.some biame him for not doing’ so. But the facts are that it was on a lonely road, in the dead of night. and he did what 99 men out of 100 would heve done; and he did it without un- necessary delay. OCTOBER VITAL STATISTICS.
