The New York papers came in on the early morning train for the first time Friday since the big storm. The trains from the west have been late in many instances ever since the wires were destroyed at that time. The ser- vice ‘is getting better, but the effects of the storm are still seen, and the Christmas rush, which began with ex. tra sections on the through trains Fri- day, will not add to the convenience of travei.

Christmas Eve Exercises. Miss Bessie Donovan of Putnam F Following a custom of several years there was a Christm: eve service at Mr. and Mrs. ctor Smith's Allen Hill farm in Brooklyn. This yearly ser- vice on the eve of Christmas is heid in the stables and is always impres- sive. Following the service there was an entertainment in the Neighborhood house on the farm and an exchange of the greetings of the season. Christmas eve services were held in the Methodist church at Attawau- gan. The church interior was very prettily decorated for the occasion. ‘The exercises were under the direc- tion of E. C. Wood's class of the Sun- day school. Gifts were distributed from a Christmas tree. In Wauregan hall Friday evening the members of the Sunday school of the Wauregan Cnogregational church had their Christmas tree and exer- cises. The children of the Sunday school will have their Christmas con- cert im the church Sunday afternoon. Liberal Giving. Those in charge of the work of the Danielson Benevolent soclety in Dan- ielson this Christmas season were well pleased over the generous man- ner in which the appeal for gifts for Christmas dinners for the needy of Danielson was responded to. There was also satisfaction in the discovery that the needy were less numerous lhls year than usual. °Outt _of the 25 families-remembered with Christmas baskets were ahout eight consisting of one person only and in these cases old, ill, infirm and lonely. The Christmas gifts came as a great boon to them. The donations of vegetables tifls year were generous and of eplendid Does the dread of the dental chair cause you to neglect them?

Edmund McGee, Charles Donohue and Henry Dumas, hurt in an auto- mobile accident here Tuesday evening, remain at the Day Kimball hospital. Dumas’ condition does not improve as rapldly as had been expected. Station Crowded. The Putnam railroad station was a very busy place during the greater part of Friday. Trains were considerably ofi schedule times as a rule and traf- fic was heavy, especially during the afternoon and ‘evenige. The annual church day banquet and exercises at the Congregational -church are set for next Thursday evening. The banquet is to be under the direction of the Ladles' Social circle Business will be generally suspended in Putnam today excepting at stores where provisions, fruits, candies and things of that sort are sold, these re- maining open for the convenience of the public. Carol Singers Give Pleasure. The carol singers made their trip about the city Friday evening as planned and delighied many with the numbers sung. At places along their route the singers were given refresh- ments by friends.

To Start Pole Designation. Painters working under the direc- tion of the state highway department are expected to arrive in this section within a short time for the purpose of painting_telesraph or telephone poles, as may be most convenient, with what is known as the color route _code bande—these for the direction of mo- torists. The poles will be painted in conformity with a plan that has been adopted for all of the New England states. The colors will be blue, red and yellow. Red designates east and west routes, blue north and south, yellow diagonal or secondary routes. In marking the routes it is proposed to use bands of color about eight inch- es in width. On continuous stretches of road without Intersections bands will be placed at distances between poles that will be sufficient to indicate the route.

They broke into the office of the Dayville Gr-in company and got a few dollars in change and also hed in the outside cellar door at E.

CORONER’S FINDING In Case of Deaths of Eli vina Briere and Rose Bi The undersigned coroner within and for the county of Windham having re- ceived notive that Eli Briere, Syl- vina Driere and Rose DBissonnette had been killed at the second crossing a short distance northerly of the pas- senger depot in the village of Day- ville, I proceeded to view the bodies of the deceased, and on the 2lst day of December, 1915, held an inquest thereon at my office in Danielson, Connecticut. From the testimony taken at said inquest T find_the following facts: That said Eli Briere left the village of Dayville with his daughter-in-law, Sylvina Briere, and his daughter, Rose Bissonnette, in an open _democrat wagon at 6.45 p. m. to return to their home a short distance northeasterly of the village of Dayville. That while crossing the main tracks of the Nor- wich & Worcester railrond at the sec- ond crossing northerly of the Day- ville depot they were struck by a special engine, running light from New Haven to Worcester, in charge of Charles W. Greene, engineer, and all three were instanily killed. I find that said engineer on approaching said crossing and the one just below zave the usual sismals of two long blasts and two short blasts of the whistle for each of sald crossings and a sta- tion signal of one blast as he passed the station, and that the bell on the engine was also ringing., That Mr. Briere either did not hear the sig- nals or thinking he had time to cross the tracks before the engine reached the crossing, continued to drive across. 1 also find that as Mr. Briere ap- proached the crossing, Charles Car- riere, who was loading ties on the easterly side of the track, and saw sald_engine coming, threw up his hands and signalled Mr. Briere to stop, but that Mr. Briere either did not see the signa! or ignored it. 1 also find that the crossing where the acci- dent occurred is an exceedingly dan- gerous one, one other person having been killed there within a few years in the same manner, and that the same_should either be properly pro- tected by gates or signals, or abol- ished altogether. I further find that said_deaths were not caused by the criminal act, omission or carelessness of any other person Or persons. In accordance with the statute I delivered the bodies of said deceased to Louis E. Kennedy, undertaker, des- ignated by the relatives of the d i reu st e ceased, for burial 1 file with this finding a copy of the testimony taken at said inquest.

Sixty-nine children at the county heme in the Sawyer district are hav- ing a jolly Christmas today; in fact, | they are having one of the merriest tide periods that has been the lot of most of them, and it started two weeks ago, when the students at the Howe-Marot school for girls in Thompson prepared a Christmas tree which was loaded bountifully with gifts for the little people. Christmas eve there was a tree at the Thompson ciiurch for the county home children, and this afternoon at the home they will gather around an immense and heavily laden gift tree that will bring added happiness to the hearts of every one of them. Mr. ana Mrs. Dewitt C. Parks, su- perintendent and matron at the home, aiways deeply interested and active in making the home a place of sunshine for the children, have this year had their always successful efforts in sur- rounding the home with a true spirit of Christmas augmented by generous persons in various towns of the coun- ty. especially by Putnam, Thompson, Pcmfret and Danielson. Each _year persons closely interested in the home make gifts to the children, but this year the remembrances have been un- usually plentiful and splendid, and for this Mr. and Mrs. Parks are duly rateful, as are the children. The hristmas tree will bend under the weight of the presents and good things that have been sent in. And the dinner! Today the little people will have a feast fit for the gods. Their menu will include chickeh, ralsed on the home farm, and all the accessories served customarily with the same. The whole list of season- able vegetables is included. There will be pies, cake, frult, candy and other goodles galore—and the helpings will be unlimited. There are children in the county today that may well envy the gloriously happy ones at the home. where all is joy. Barometer of Prosperity. The Steel Trust is doing very well, thank you.
