The fiext business to ‘come -before the meeting was. the discussion of the fire question in_regard to the alarm boxes. Chief Thomas Foley had a commuriication from the Gamewell company mt installed the boxes in this city. e company had sent two men to Willimantic to investigate the cause of the trouble experienced the night of the Jordan fire and this com- munication made a report of -their finding and recommendations in the In regard to their finding on stigation the men ceported the Experts’ Finding. In going to the engine house and making thorough inquiry from those connected with the department and vourself we found that box 43 was pulled on or about 2.10 Thursday morning. _The signal came in to all the tappers and indicators correctly. This naturally put the trouble up to the striker mechanism itself. After a thorough inspection of the striker we found no trouble with this piece of @ipparatus , but during our testing on the switchboard we found that the only conditions that would eause the striker to not send the alarm was on account of the low battery, in other words, you know your ampherage should _be at least .100 and when it was cdt down to at least .070 the striker would not restore when the circuit was open. We also found some foul contacts on the switchboard which had a_ ten- dency to half open the circuit, there- fore, we are safe in saying to you that failure of the striker to work was due entirely to low battery and poor con- nections on the switchboard. These troubles have been adjusted and we are at this time going to make further report and suggestions as ap- peals to us and recommend that your city take proper action to correct the Taulty construction that now exists on the fire alarm system. Wires Faulty. The recommendations were in re- Fard to the wires and the way they were put on the poles, it being the opinion of the company that the damp weather would affect the alarm sys- tem if the wires were allowed to re- main as they are now" fastened to the poles. The investigators thought that the upkeep of the system had_been neglected and in order to make things better -in this respect they recom- mended that one persen should be ap- pointed to have gharge of the upkeep of the system gnd be responsible for {it. To have a pérfect system it should be under one head. Further recommendations were, re- wiring where necessary, testing bat- CONQUERS RHEUMATISH IN A VERY FEW DAYS It is an established fact that one- half teaspoonful of Rheuma taken once a_day has driven the pain and agony from thousands of racked, crip- pled and _despairing rheumatics during the Jast five years.

The magic name has reached every hamlet in the land and there is hardly a druggist anywhere who cannot tell you of almost mar- velous cures. If you are tortured with rheuma- tism_or sciatica, you can-get a- bottle of Rheuma from Lee & Osgood or any druggist for not more than 50 cents, with the understanding that if ft does not completely drive rheumatic poisons from your system—money back.

Dr. Diefendorf of New Haven and Dr. Weldon of this city accompanied Albert Gilman to the county jail Sat- nrday where they had a talk with Mr. Gilman’s son feon, who shot _his grandfather and cousin recently. Botk doctors have been retained by counsel for the defense of the boy but they would not talk about their visit to the jaii, or what was said while there. It is thought, from what was said by the doctors, that they are under the impression that the young man is not sane as he appeared to be very indif- ferent for one who had c@mmitied a double murder. Boys Put on Probation. Six boys appeared before the police court Monday morning on the charge of larceny. They had been taking ar- ticles out of the ruins of the Jordan building and were apprehended for their deeds. W. C.

The offi- cials of the Unifed Charities who had become interested in the case stated that they were unable to locate the sister of the man in New York, where he had intended to go with his daugh- ter. As the accused has decided to remain in_this city and to pay what he owes the United Charities, as well as pay for the support of his child, the court continued the case for three months. Zagara was allowed to Eo on his own recognizance as he has secured employment with a construc- tion company that is doing work in this city. Clearing Up Fire Ruins.
