Lady Asistant Telephone PHYSICIAN REDUCES MEDICAL BILL Cuts Off $35 at Suggestion of Compensation Commissioner in Case of Byron Tarbox vs. Totokett Mfg. Company— ‘ Blood Poisoning Developed From Small Cut on Right * . Thumb—Joseph Semak Given Compensation and Al | lowed Medical Bills. As the result of a hearing before Compensation Commissioner James J. Donohue in his office in this city, Dr. R. R. Agnew agreed to cut his bill for medical services in the case of Byron N. Tarbox of Versailles from $185 to $150, which the Totckett Manufactur- ing company, the respondents in the case, agreed to pay. The finding in the case was filed on Thursday in the superior court office in this city. The hearing was held on Tuesday, Aug. 29, at 3.30 p. m., for the purpose | of passing upon the bill rendered for medical services. Jan. 3 last the claimant received a cut on his right thumb while at work in the mill. He was attended by Dr. R. R. Agnew and Dr. Thompson. March 9th a voluntary agreement between employer and employe was approved by the commissioner. The agreement provided for $7.50 weekly during dis- ability, with medical, surgical and hospital services. The agreement was carried out according to the terms and the only question in dispute was the bill of $185 rendered by Dr. Agnew for his services, the respondents claiming it excessive. It was’ found that the injury was a small cut on the right thumb. The in- Jury later developed into blood poison- ing involving the entire arm at one time. Two daily dressings were re- quired_and later one dally dressing was required during a period from Jan. 13th to March 29th. In view of the fact that the bill appeared some- what large and considering the stand- ard of living of the claimant, at tbh. suggestion of the cucumissioner Dr. Agnew agreei t make the bill $150, which the respondents agreed to pay. Thursday the finding in the case of Joseph Semak, claimant, vs. the Amer- ican Strawboard company, was filed by Commissioner Donohue. The hearing was held on Sept. 2d at 11 a. m. June 15th the claimant cut the third finger of his right hand. It was very diffi cult to get the exact dates of Injury, the time the claimant stopped work, and the date he returned to work, on account of the fact that the dates were more or less confused in the claimant’s own mind. It was finally agreed to place the date of injury as June 15th, disability beginning June 19th, and first medical aid sought on June 22. In view of the conflicting statements made by the claimant, and the impossibility to ar- rive at the exact dates required to fix the period during which the claimant any, it was finally agreed to award him one week's compensation, with medieal services. LEDYARD MAN STABS HORSE BECAUSE IT FELL. Alphonse Norcross Charged With Using Pocketknife on Animal, In- tlicting Three Wounds. Becoming angered at his horse when it siipped and fell on the pavement in Water street, New London, early Thursday afternoon, breaking one of the wheels of the wagon, Alphonso Norcross of Ledyard drew a pocket- knife and is allezed to have stabbed the animal three times. Norcross was placed under arrest by Patrolman Hammond on charges of abusing his horse and intoxication. The horse and wagon were taken to a livery stable, where J. E. Underhill, a veterinary surgeon, was called to ex- amine the animal's wounds. According to Dr. Underhill, the stab wounds are not of a .serious nature, not being very deep. Following his arrest, a pocketknife was found in_the prisoner’s possession which was blood stained and which the police believe was the weapon used on the horse. Norcross will be arraigned in police court this morning before Judge Coit. FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE STATE INSTITUTIONS Several Bills to be Prescnted at Reg- ular Session of Legislature. Legislation relating to the improve- ment of public institutions all ove the state was anticipated Wednesday at the meeting of the state board of charities in the capitol. It developed that several bills have been formu lated, to be presented at the regular session of the legislature, affecting in- stitutions generally, and much of the discussion at the meeting yesterds was devoted to these measures. Mem- | bers of the state board expect that they will come up-early at the reg lar_session. The meeting of the board vesterday was the first since sessions were suspended for the summer, last July.

PASSENGER TRAIN Fifteen Have Narrow Escape From Se- train, due in New London at 8.30, was wreck at South Amherst, Wednes- day evening about 6.30 o’clock. The tracks and went down an embank- ment. All the passengers escaped without injury. Georgze M. Church, express messenger, was the only one injured and he only slightly. The train, wgich is known as the boat train, was made up of the en- gine, a combination express and mail car, a baggage car and a passenger coach. It was in charge of Conduc- tor George Spafford and Engineer Gates. As the train was running along near South Amherst, the engine left the track and the tender and the cars turned over and plunged down the embarkment. The engine remained upright, but it was derailed. There were about 15 passengers on the train, but they escaped with a severe shaking up. Express Messen- ger Church was injured about the legs, but his injurles were so slight that he was able to go about after re- ing medical attention from Dr James 1. Collard of Belchertown. None of the passengers required at- tention.

A conference between the clerks of the house and one of the clerks of the senate was held this week in the of- fice of House Clerk John Buckley in connection with the special session of the general assembly called for Tues- day. It developed that none of the clerks had received any notification of the session other than the call through the newspapers. Two of the clerks had plans made for a vacation trip after the state convention, but they agreed that they had better de- fer their plans and wait around in the possibility that they should be needed. One of the interesting things con- nected with the talk of the clerks was the feeling that the session might last two weeks. This seemed surprising | to those who gathered that the ses- sion, having been called for a specific purpose, would transact that business at once and adjourn, especially in view of the fact that there would be no remuneration for either the mem- bers or the officlals. The clerks were of the opinion, however, that it would be necessary to have bills referred to committees and printed, so that the members could study them before committing themselves by their votes. There was reason to believe that spe- cial legislation would be offered. in- cluding a bill for the rellef of the families of soldiers in towns where the local government had not assumed the burden. Palmertown School Open. “The Palmertown school opened on TPuesday morning, exercises being held in the Town hall and in the Baptist church which will be the case until the Palmer Memorial school is fin- ished.

Al ils of the soclety are paid and tue inter's supply of coal has beeu pur- chased. The imperative necessity of a suita- ble fireproof &torage space for the col- lection of relics in the mansion was discussed. and it is probable that ac- tion along this line will be taken in the near future. The thanks of the society were extended to Miss Imrma Douglas for the gift of a collection of maruscripts of the late Frances Man- waring Caulking and to Mrs. Charles C. Lippitt for an ancient deed in frame. Miss Elizabeth Gorton, the secreiary, read an extremely interesting paper cn Colonial Church and Clergy. Beguining with the first recorded evidences of 1e- ligious teaching in this country on the Pacific coast, she went on to the com- ing of the colonists to Jamestown in 1607 and the establishment of the Church of England there, and t~ the period 13 years later, when Plymouth was settled and the Puritan churci es- tablished. From that point Miss Ger- ton traced the development of the church in this country thfough the Revolutionary period. Following the business meeting, tea was served. Mrs. George S.

It was stated that the nurses are to recleve $3 a day as long as they are in the employ of the city. Among the suggestions made by the health officer was one that was the cause of much discussion by the board The health officer thought that some- one should be appointed to go about the city and order'all people whose yards and grounds about the house were in bad condition to clean up their places and if this was not done to en- force the law.
