The 10.45 northbound trolley car struck a delivery wagon of John G. Potter on North Main street, Tues- day morning, practically demolishing the vehicle. The contents of the wag- on were spread over the ground and the driver escaped injury. The horse when freed from the wagon ran away, , x but was stoppzd in the vicinity of the Shetucket Coal and Wocd yard. It appears tiat %he driver of the wagon was on tfie left hand side of the street | and made an effort to cross in front of the car, both going in the same direction. After starting across - the track the driver of the delivery wagon started to turn back. He had not sufficient time to make it and was struck squarely by the car. 3 % Peter J. Masket of Yonkers was a visitor here Monday. TAFTVILLE ‘Alabama Jubiles Minstrels a Big Suc- <cess—Had Big Audience—Notes. The Cornerstone club of Congregational church staged its am- nual musical entertainment Tuesday evening in Ponemah hall which was taxed to its capacity. The entertain- ment was called the Alabama Jubilee minstrels and the performance made a big hit, every number being applauded by the large enthusiastic audience. Following the minstrels dancing was enjoyed until 12 o'clock with refresh- ments served. ‘The music was fur- nished by a three piece, orchestra. The novelty act , the Alabama minstrels brought the house to an immediate ap- plause, the act being carried out very artistically The end men, Victor H. Davis and Arthur Schofield kept the audience In good humor, cracking witty and very laughable jokes. The magic surgery proved a fun maker, introducing Pro- fessor Oscero from. Zanzibar, assisted by Professors Wyndoddle and Davisco. Fred Dugas, a talented rolling skater gave a fine exhibition on the wheels jwhich added much to. the programme. Before the curtain was raised the en- tire troupe sang-Old Folks at Home, and- the remainder of the pmmmme follows: Alabame Jubilee, chorus; Lonesome Melody, Robert M.

President King said that he had re- ceived applications from concerns de- Secretary | siring locations in Norwich, one. of which was a machine shop which de- sired to start in a small -way. There are few available buildings here now and he thought it would be a profit- able investment to build an indu trial building on the built land at tl West Side. Committes of Protest. James C. Macpherson reopened the State of Maine discussion by saying that it occurred to him that in the case of the removal of such an ex- press train a protest would meet the same fate that hundreds of like pro- tests meet and he moved that the chairman of the committee on trans- portation together with the president of the organization and such members as thought advisable, be delegated a committee to go to New Haven and appear before the proper authorities and make their protest as effective as possible. This motion was carried. Flags for Preparedness. President King spoke of the cop- vening of congress next Monday and said that flags would be hung out all over the country by those who be- lieve in preparedness and he request- ed that all in Norwich who favor pre- paredness hang out their flags. The Board of Trade was requested to look after the flag flying in Norwich in re- gard to this matter. The meeting adjourned .about $.4% o’'clock. press the chmge has been made and uld hardly be possible to bring express back, yet the meeting could protest. t 3 In answer to a question as to why the express was removed President King said he had been told, that it ‘was because freight trains bothered the running time of ‘the express. Effect on the Mail Service. Postmaster Murphy, who was pres- ent, was questioned as to what effect the removal of the express had on the local mails. Postmaster Murphy said that now the mails get here on the train due‘at 555 a. m. In former years the mails used to get in from Boston and New ¥York “on the Central Ver- mont train due here at 5.15 a. m. which gave plenty of time to have the mail all up in the boxes and ready for the carriers at 7 o’clock. Then the time of arrival for the Central Ver- mont morning train was made 6.30 o’clock, which made it impossible to get the mails ready for 7 o'clock. Post- master Murphy made application to the officials, with the result that mails were brought here by the State of Maine express. At first the mails averaged two or three pouches, hut they soon jumped to 20 pouches. The mail was all in the postoffice by 5 a. m., which gave the clerks opportu- nity to have it ready for delivery by 7 o'clock. The mails are daily increas- ing, especially the parcel post, and the time of arrival now does not give \ime enough to get the mail ready by 7 o'clock. It is expected that the mail will be about an hour ldte since the removal of the express. Postmaster Murphw safd that if the express had been permanent he expected to have a_collection made late at night, pos- sibly as late as midnight, so that let- ters mailed here at at time would be delivered in New York and Bos- ton early. the next morning. President King said: There'is an in- clination on the part of the road to cut us out; I don't know why. It seems as.though wé ought to have at least one express train a day. It was.then moved that the Board of Trade enter a formal protest to the Y. N. H. & H. railroad against the removal 0! the express. Questions Sidewalk Ownership. J. D. Haviland made inquiry about the ownership of sidewalks. His ques- tion was prompted through newspa- per adveftisements that appear at this time of the year ordering residents and property owners to clear their walks. Mr. Haviland said he is per- fectly willing to look after the walk in front:.of his- property, but he would like the Board of Trade to take some action to find out where the respon- sibility lies. I would like to know ‘whether I own the sidewalk or whether the .city owns the sidewalk, said M- Haviland. This request was referred to the public improvémerts commit- tee. Lights Not as Bright as Before. President King said there is some question as to whether we are get- ting as much light on Broadway and Washingten street as formerly. “Ste- phen J. Kehoe, superintendent of the municipal gas and electric plant, said that it was possible there is some dif- ference in ilie light. The lamps used are 11 years old and are becoming ob- solete. The new style lamps, such as are on lower Broadway, are being in- stalled as rapidly as possible and as soon as the finances permit the new lights will be carried right through. The new lamps furnish more light and at a cheaper rate, he said. Reference was made by President King to the recent criticism of the lack of fire alarm boxes in the city by ‘Engineer - Howland of the National Fire Underwriters association. ‘Chief MEMORIAL ORATOR m W.
