NORWICH ‘ BI CK— OO0 THIS WEEK In All Departments Prior To Inventory Manhaltan 121-125 Main Street | LAST MAN LEAVES CAMP AT NIANTIC. Connecticut Made One of the Records of AH the States. Best The last gun In the recent Mexican “war,” so far as Connecticut is con- cerned, has been fired with the ar- rival in Hartford of Major Earl D. Church, the first man in the mol! zation camp at Niantic and the Iist man out. He has not yet been mu:- tered out of the federal service, shar- ing this distinction with the members of Batteries E and F, who are siill at the border, and Capt. O. . King, who acted as paymaster, but expects tc be back before long. 2 ‘When Hartford and Connectic n general were still-in an uproir ever the moblilization orders sent out last June, Major Church was sent to D antic. When the troops began movirg from their home stations to the mobilization camp he was in Niantie ‘When they left for the border he wn in Niantlc and when they were mus- tered out, and long after some peorle had ceased to think about them, was in Niantic. In fact, he did return from there until last Mon his stay at the mobilization camy gregating six months, less three d Now, for the first time in a half yea he is back at his desk as superintend- ent of the policy loan division of the Travelers Insurance company. Major Church did not see s ice at the border, but he suw about every- thing else, including a long list of titles appended to himseif, in compari- son with which those borne ! e late Francls Joseph fade into noihin ness. Before being mustered into fid eral service he was major in the ord- nance department. but after that no time was lost in namingz him actirg camp quartermaster, camp quarte master, officer in command of camr, ordnance officer, signal officer, acting medical property officer, acting que. termaster in the United States army and disbursing officer. A mobilizativa of Major Church all by himseif would be quite a spectacle. Connecticut made one of the best records in his department of all ile states. In his handling of many harn- dreds of thousands of dollars’ worta »f equipment of all kinds, he lost but the total ed bu: $13, while he picked up articles for which his department was not charged to the value of more than $400. in District No. 2, Feanklin.
