G. G. Engler, Broadway Pharmacy, Norwich, GAGER Funeral Director and Embalmer Prompt service day or night Struck by Naugatuck Special in Rear of Thermos Plant Sun- day Evening—Had Bad Fracture of Skull and Cuts and Bruises About Body. Thomas McClimon, about 45 years of age, was struck and instantly killed Sunday evening a few minutes after 7 o'clock by the Naugatuck, superinten- dent’s special, in the rear of the Ther- mos plant on Laurel Hill, The special was running-about 10 minutes ahead of the passenger train that left the New Haven station at 710 o'clock. The engineer quickly stopped his train and the body was removed from the front of the engine and one of the train crew was left with the body by the side of the track. The special then went on and word was telegraphed back to this city from Gales Ferry. Captain D. J. Twomey was notified at police headquarters, and he in turn notifled Coroner Franklin H. Brown, who was attending the service at the Central Baptist church. The coroner and Policeman John Donovan were sent to the scene of the accident in a jitney and after viewing the body the coroner gave Undertakers Cummings & Ring permission to fgmove it to their morgue. The passenger train due in this city at 9 o'clock was flagged and the body was taken aboard and removed to the morgue from the New Haven station. An examination showed that the man had a badly fractured skull and was out and bruised about the body. His head and face were disfigured to some extent but the features were recognizable and Undertaker Cum- mings recognized the man as Thomas McClimon, who is well known about the city. 'The man wore & dark sult, two pairs of pants, tan shirt with soft collar, a red sweater, black stockings, tan shoes and black’ rubbers. In his pockets were several jackknives, three pairs of stockings, three or four pock- etbooks, empty, and a pipe. He also wore a diirk overcoat. Officer Patrick Murphy saw Mc- Climon in Rose alley about 6.30 o'clock. Officer Murphy visited the morgue and after viewing the body identified it as ‘Thomae McClimon. The dead man has always made his home in Norwich and at one time lived in Thamesville. It is not known what took him down the tracks, but it is thought that he may have been stay ing nights in that neighborhood. It is sald that he had a package in_which were several chicken gizzards. He has a daughter in this city, but up to a late hour Sunday she had not been located. Dr. C. C. Gildersleeve visited the morgue soon after the body had been brought to this city and made an in- vestigation. ASSESSCR PEABODY SUED BY TOWN OF WATERFORD Selectmen Say He Collected Money Under Fake Pretens: George W. Peabody, assessor of the town of Waterford, has been made the defendant in a suit brought by the town for obtaining money under false pretenses. The town charges that Peabody presented and was paid a Dill for services as assessor which he did not render the fown. Under a recent statute of the state, the salaries of assessors of a town were fixed at 250 for time actually spent. In February the three asses- sors of the town of Waterford, George ‘W. Peabody, Charles H. Peabody and them paid until they were investigated as he was then unfamiliar with the statute regarding the salaries. At the ame time a bill for $100 for services of a clerk was presented. The first selectman _upon _investigation found that the bills were presented for the amount per day provided by the sta- tute. The defendant in this suit presented his bill for the same number of days’ services as the other two assessors and in March all the bills were paid by the town. Four or five -days ago on his return from a business visit out of town First Selectman Allyn was called on the telephone and he was Selectman n s Allyn immediately started estigation and found A Peabody had been ab- ten days and that he had actually served only 24 days instead of 44, hav- Lawless with the result that First Se- GIFT FOR C.

Already the commis- sion has received 300 applications from all over the state and it is thought likely the number will exceed 600, Each applicant is entitled to 200 fin- gerlings. The supply to each will be delivered in a can for which fifty cents J.'C. Smith, presented bills for 44 [will be charged. days' labor at $2.30 a_day. The commission is also grranging First Selectman Gurdon S.

The state does not own a hatchery for bass, but no charge is made to the persons among whom they are distri- buted. Superintendent John M. Crampton is in favor of the state’s owning its own bass hatchery and it is quite possible a plan will ‘scon be developed for the starting of one. It would be to the advantage of the state, Mr. Crampton thinks, if it owned ali the hatcheries which it needs for the propagation of fish. The commission has also received a large number of applicants for pheas- ants eges and it will be abe to sup- py them from the state game farm at asked by a resident of the town if he [‘Madison.

Dr. Storrs O. Seymour, Former Norwich Rector, Resigns Litchfield Pastora Rev. Dr. Storrs O. Seymour, rector of St. Michael's Episcopal church, Litchfield, for 27 years, has presented his resignation, to take effect imme- diately after Easter. Dr. Seymour ob- served his 80th birthday on Jan. 24. He has been a member of the standing committeo of the diocese since 1576, is_a trustee of the Berkeley Divinity school, was representative from Con- necticut to the general conventions of 1901, 1804 and 1907, was formerly a member of the state board of education and has held many other offices. Upon his arrival he was taken to the second floor, which was in total dark- ness, and 22 voices in unison gave him & hearty three cheers when the lights were turned on.

Adjutant General Cole Mentions charge Records. e a by rybody ra. hill terer Bragdon. In turn gave a toast to Mr. and Charles Clayton Chase—Haver- (Mass.) Gazette. Mrs. Chase was formerly Mrs. Fannie Comstock Naylor of this city. Norwich Academy Superior—Of Eourse! Writing to the New London Tele- graph concerning the' statement of Carlos Barry of the New London school board claiming the superiority of Nor- wich Free Academy, a New London man says: New London high schools are unfor- tunate in being brought into immedi- ate contrast. with the Norwich Free Academy, an institution having one of the best 'school plants and one of the largest endowments of schools of sim- llar character in New England. To establish and maintain a school of equal equipment and grade would cost this city each year many times the meagre appropriations that are made to the preparatory schools of New London. That parents who can afford the ex- pense of sending boys and girls to the Norwich school do 80 as a matter of choice is doubtless to be expected, but that boys or girls are sent to outside achools as a necessity for college prep- aration is shown to be a mistaken thought by the yearly entrance to our colleges of boys and girls from the o~ cal high schools without other prepa- ration, where in many cases they im- mediately take high mark. Adjutant General George M. Cole sent out the following letter Saturday afternoon to the town clerks of all the towns of Conneoticut: “In comphance with section 1, chap- ter 109, public acts of the state of Con- necticut, January session, 1915, the ad- jutant general directs that such hon- orable discharges or properly authen- ticated certificates of honorable dis- charges of officers, soidiers, sailors and marines as may be presented to the town clerk for recording under the pro- visions of chapter 109, public acts, above stated, shall be recorded in & suitable book in such manner as is provided for all instruments required by law to be recorded in section 1848, chapter 114, of the general statutes of Connecticut (revision of 1902)." By the provisions of this act of the legislature it is possible for an ex- soldier, sallor or marine to hand over to the town clerk his certificate of discharge and to have it properly re- corded. By so doing this will greatly facilitate the keeping of personal tax exemption records. Dismantling Steamer Puritan. The dismantling of the steamer Puri- tan bas progressed so far that the old vessel now presents a dilapidated ap- pearance. With the use of the der- ricks on two steam lighters that are docked alongside the eteamer at the New London line wharf, hundreds of feet of timber are torn from the upper Made Court Com: oner.

Mr. Beck had paid Maynard $5 on account and had then agreed to geliver the goods, Maynard to receive $45 more upon delivery. Before the goods were delivered Mr. Beck got a telegram from a Washing- ton, D. C., attorney telling him the goods belonged to Maynard's mother and_forbidding him to purchase t goods under penalty of being prose. cuted for receiving stolen goods. Beck then attempted to recaver the $5 and when Maynard refused he had him arrested. Maynard was amlly presented a week ago Saturday, but the case was continued to allow the prosecutor to communicate with Mrs. Maynard in Washington. Maynard’s home is at Gales Ferry. Several weeks ago a number of cot- tages at the Ferry were burglarized. When Maynard was arrested for his fraudulent transaction with Mr. Beck suspicion that he was connected with the cottage robberles was aroused and investigation confirmed the suspicion. Prosecuting Attorney Cronin inform- ed the court that Maynard's mother was reluctant to have him prosecuted and that without her evidence the stats would be unable to accomplish much in this case. Mr. Cronin said the Ledyard authorities want Maynard and that they %had lodged a warrant for him in the police station. Judge Coit granted the motion for nolle.

Hansen was presented in the police court at New London Sat- urday morning on the charge of keep- ing a house of assignation and Miss Jennie Penhallow was arraigned on the charge of frequenting that houee rested by Deputy Sheriff Manuel J. Martin. Coast Artillery Would Be Used at In- fantry. If the coast artillery troops in the local artillery district are called into action in the Mexican trouble it will be as infantry. It was announced at Washington Friday that such would be the use of the coast artillery if call- ed upon at all. Using the coast artil- lery as infantry would make 13,000 ad- ditional infantry troops avallable. Morgan Chaney on Mexican Border. Morgan Chaney, son of Mrs. Clara Chaney, of Broad street, New London, is in Texas in territory adjacent to that in which there is so much excitement at this time. He Is at Chrisoval, which is on the Mexican border. Mr. Chaney is an excellent horse- man and is now in the Texas Rangers. He says the people there are more of iess excited all the time in expectation of a Mexican raid. TAFTVILLE Rev.

Mrs. Hansen was fined $100 and costs. She paid. Miss Penhallow was fined $15 and costs, a total of $23, and then placed on_probation. Frances Fraiser and Ella Miner, who were charged with being fre- quenters, falled to appear in court, and their bonds of $25 each were forfeited. The arrest of these women came as the result of a raid by the police Fri- day night on Mre. Hansen's house, which is in Main street, near John. The raid was the result of & com- plaint made to the police by Private Stephen O'Donnell of Fort H. G. Wright, who said he was robbed at the place by the Penhallow woman. CLAMS ARE SCARCE IN THIS SECTION. Snow and Ice Storms Make It Almost Impossible to Securs Shellfish. Along with the scarcity of fish, the scarcity of clamd assumes somewhat serfous proportions. Snow and ice on the Dbeaches at Shelter and Fisher's Isiands are successful in thwarting the efforts of the fishermen to secure long clams, and the storms of the past few weeks have made it practically im- possible to secure round clame in the chief clamming sections between Maine and Rhode Isiand. There is little change in_the fish situation. Strikes in New York and Taftville Congregational church Sun- day At the morning service the sub- of the Lenten address was the s Prayer. 1.

Laying Sire of Tracks. As the Central Village trolley that leaves Tafts station at.2 o'clock was rounding the curve near the Taftville tunnel a man was seen to be lying on the tracks. The car was brought to a stop and the pilot and motorman in- vestizated and found that the man was_intoxicated and had chosen the tracks as a resting place. He was taken aboard the car and carried to Jewett City. Luckily the man was not in the tunnel or he might have met with a serious accident. Delegates to Football Meeting.
