Patrolmen still have their difficul- ties in keeping tabs on automobiles that are left standing in borough streets at night without lights glim- mering. Sewer Ordinance Recalled. Borough Clerk Wesley Wilson called attention Wednesday to the fact that a borough ordinance is already in ef- fect under which property owners can be required to connect dwellings and othey buildings with sewers, within six months after the completion of a sewer through any street; and that failure to comply with the ordinance makes a violator of it liable to a fine of not less than oné dollar nor more than fifteen dollars for every week during which he fails to comply. This is in accordance with a vote passed at the annual borough meeting, April 11, 1910. F‘UNERAL. Albert H. Evan At his home in Elmville Wednes- day afternoon funeral services were held for Albert H.

Burial was in the Dayville cemetery. A. F. Wood was the fu- neral director. RAINED ICE ALL DAY orbers, for Falls and for Resultant d Language. Humanity with shock absorber at- tachments might have fared better, in many instances, than was the case here Wednesday. As one little fel- the situation; “It Pained At times and places it also rained humanity—not discrimi- nating, either, as to wl er particu- lar specimeds of humanity were proud or meek, but just sprngng them around kind of casual like on the glazed land- scape. Hence the advantage of shock absorbers, of which there might have been at least two kinds—ene to lessen the compact of an irresistible fall against an immovable object, the oth- er to ease off the force of some of the explosive language, of which there was a picturesque supply. In other wor it was exceedingly slippery about n. Mr. Helnz and his 57 varietles+would have been shamed into oblivion after taking a peek at what was done to borongh streets and sidewalks in an attempt to make it possible to walk upon them with some degree ofsisafety. Red, green and blue dust destroyers, coal ashes, wood ashes, salt, coarse and b beef brine, twenty-six, more or kinds of sawdust, sand, gravel and a host of other things were seat- tered about to ward off the machina- tions of the Ice King. But he con- tinued to claim his victims. The paved section of Main street was like a skating rink. A horse owned by the Quinebaug company fell at a point near Union strect. She compladently resisted all effonts to get her up, so as a last expedient a score of men and boys lifted her bod- ily, others slipped a skid under her and she was lifted clear of the ground. Even then she held her legs doubled under her, refusing to put them down until, after much persua- sion and mzay devices, she was in- duced to do 80. In the meantime she was some baby for those who were holding her up. ‘While skids were not required for the humans who fell, some of them had difficulty in getting to their feet and many of them got bumps that they won’t forget for the remainder of the year. BOY CAVE-DWELLERS Novel Retreat Excavated and Fur- nished in Rear of the Cyr Building Suggestive of the troglodvte dwell- Ings of the soldiers on the Buropean weéstern battle (front is a vacation habitation that has been constructed by a number of boys who make their play headquarters in the rear of the building. They have excavated a cave-like dwelling, roofed it over with an arch- ke covering that protrudes a couple of feet above the ground, built a stair- way, sealed the sides with box boards, and made a ceiling of the same ma-. terial, carpeted the floor and installed a stove, from which a smokepipe runs up into the open air.

And he is still as strong and active as the best of ’em. FUNERAL. Moses Congdon. Funeral services for Moses Congdon were held at his home at Pomfret Landing, Rev. Harryv Beadle of the Pomfret Congregational church offi- ciating. Burial was in the Bruce fam- ily_cemetery. Danielson members of Putnam lodge of Elks have secured a number of membership applications from men they hope may be added to their list of brothers soon after the o] ing, of the new year. Paine-Cartier. Announcement was made of the marriage of Miss Arline Cartier, clerk in the store of Town Clerk David Flagg, and Roy Paine, a traveling salesman, whose home was here, by Rev. C. F. Bedard at St. Mary’s rec- tory Christmas night. Telephone employes here, who re- ceived a Christmas gift of three weeks’ extra pay, hear with particu- lar interest a story that they are to have an advance in pay soon after the first of the year, but there has been no official announcement. Controls 72 Tenements. Including those that it owns and leases, the Manhasset Manufacturing company now controls 72 tenements in the city. The company has built a number of new houses in the Meadow street section of the city during 1916. John W. Lynch, Richard Carpenter and John W. Carpenter constituted a committee that drew resolutions rel- ative to the death of Percy L.

It is_a hold-over proposition. Therefore, when the com- mon council holds its first session of 1917, next Tuesday evening, no changes are anticipated. Middle-cf-the-Roaders Numerous. “Watch your step,” was a slogan that didn’t have to be called to any- body’s attention in thish town Wed- nesday. Evervbody was doin’ it and doing it with practically undivided at- tention. Tho streets had been polish- ed until thev shone. Many bad falls were reported, but most evervone es- caped without receiving more than in- cidental injuries. Sidewalks were treated with many kinds of preparations to make walk- %mxfer, but notwithstanding this a t many people got right out into the middle of the streets for what they considered safer going. Motor-truck Desirable, But Expensive. It was stated Wednesday by a member of the city government that only o emall minority of the members of the common council are in favor of supporting the petition asking that thé city give consideration to pur- chasing another motor fire truck to add to the city'r department, The matter is expected to come up AL e S SRR AR, they have excavated a tunnel, of which there is no sign above ground, from their poilu’' cave to what may t‘ described as an “observation post. This “post” station is about 30 feet distant general . -headquartens and the lookout position is reached by a ladder that leads up to a box-like contrivance through which the boys can peer out upon an unsuspecting world at their pleasure. Deep (6 feet) down in their abode, the boys were as snug as a bug in a rug during Wednesday's ice storm. They sat about dreaming dreams, while waiting for “the enemy” to af tack and giving free rein to imagina- tive episodes that would make Cap- tain enig look like a mere piker in the heéro class. Their subterranean engineering problems completed, they ‘were g the most of what are their very happiest hours. As a of fact. the construc- tion work done by the youngsters is cleverness and their ability and willingness to work. Their underground quarters are suffi- ciently ‘Toomy /to house a considerable company of them, and it is warm and comparatively dry and comfortable. b ‘WEDDING. —_— . . Gilbert—0O’Connor. Miss Margery O'Connor of the West Side, Danielson, and Willlam Gil- bert of Boston, Mass., were married Saturday, Dec. 23, at 5 p. m. at the home of the bride’s aunt, Mrs. M. Hartley of Danielson. The bride wore white silk embroidered Brussels net satin. The bridesmaid -was dressed in D silk crepe de chine. The best -man-was Clifford Hartley. The Buests were dservm‘!l n':hmmn r the e y and a del evening was spent in the old English style. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert will make their home in Boston. B on la'll external pain. I you neglect kidney backache, / Urinary troubles often follow. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for kidney backache, and for other kidney ilis. Noriyich citizens endorse them. Lednard F. Lovett, motorman, 374 Central Avenue, Norwich, says: ‘T have used several boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills in the past for backache, which I think was brought on by over- lifting, I'was taken with pains across the small of my back. Stooping seemed to aggravate the trouble, causing pains when I tried to straight- en up. Doan’s Kidney Pills have given me prompt relief from these at- tacks and ‘I highly recommend them to others.” : Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim- ply ask for a kidney remedy — get Doan’s Kidney Pills — the same that Mr. Lovett had. = Foster-Milburn Co, Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Sfoan’s Liniment Eases Pain Sloan’s Liniment is first thought of mothers for bumps, bruises and sprains that are continually happen- ing to children. It quickly penetrates and soothes without rubbing. Cleaner’ and more éffective than mussy plas- ters or ointments. For rheumatic acres, neuralgia pain and that grippy soreness after colds, Sloan’s Liniment gives prompt relief. Have a bottle handy for bruises, strains, sprains -and For the thousands whose work calls them outdoors, the pains and aches following exposure are relieved by Sloan’s Liniment. At all Druggists, 25c. —_— for discussion at next week’s meeting of the common council. Outside of the members of the city government, persons with whom the matter was discussed Wednesday were nearly @ unit in admitting that it would be fite for a city to have a truck such as proposed, just as it would be fine to have two more or three more; but all were not agreed that the condition of the city’s fi- nances at the present time would warrant spending the price of even one truck. In the interest of keeping city ex- penditures down, some voters hold that the purchase of another truck should be deferred for a time. Notwithstanding that cautious and prudent citizens point out - that it would be wise for the city to limit its expenditures as much as possible at this time, on account of the rather large -debt, it is known that there is strong sentiment in the north part of the cty, where the truck would be located, in favor of its purchase, and that fact may prove to be the balance of power, as it were, in the final dis- position of the truck matter. Visited in Worcester. Miss Bernice Gahan was a visitor in Worcester Wednesday.
