Frank Fenton Elected Captain—Seven Recruits Received. The first meeting of the Home Guard was held in the town hall after the town meeting with 60 men present. Dr. John Welden, a member, made a brief physical examination, one man being rejected because of heart trouble and was placed on Reserve Home Guard list. Seven new recruits were sworn in. Mr. Fenton and - Mayor D. P. Dunn made short speeches on the Home Guard. The drills will be held in private and at least once a month. Frank Fenton was unanimous- ly chosen captain. Jeremiah P. Mc- Cdrthy was elected first lieutenant and Harry Denman, second lieutenant. All three officers have had previous experi- ence training. Recruiting will be stopped in a few days as the company is up to the regular strength. If drill- ing is done in the armory, the reserve will guard the armory.

Mr. and Mrs. Kempf are a fine old couple and they always have deservedly had the respect of all who knew them. Mrs. Kempf was so much distressed by the call of the sol- diers and seizure of the ammunition that she was made ill, and Mr. Kempf is quoted a$ saying that he is glad the ammunition has been taken away. The officer in charge of the infantry detachment declined to make any statement whatever about the affair. Reports that rifles were seized at the Kempf place are absolutely untrue. The officials took no action other than to seize the three cases of ammunition. Masons Work Degrees. Danielson, April 10.—Many members of Montgomery council, No. 2, R. S. M., gathered at Masonic hall here on Tuesday evening to confer -degrees upon a class of candidates. All of the surrounding towns were represented, and the degrees were conferred by a team from Franklin council of Nor- wich, which had a large delegation in attendance, including a band. A sup- per was served in Masonic hall at 6 o'clock. The affair was one of the most important in the year’s work of the council OBITUARY. (Ceontributed.) Mrs. William Elliott died at her home in Central Village Th morning, April 5, at 2 o’'clodk, after an illness of three months. She was a ruent and cheerful sufferer to the st. Mrs. Elliott was born in Colchester, Conn., Nov. 4, 1860, a daughter of M and Mrs. Daniel Sullivan. Her .gir) hood was spent in Colchester. She was united in Elliott of Lebanon, Mrs. Arthur Taveria of Westerly, Helen Elliott of New York, the Misses Elizabeth and Louisé Biliott of Cen- tral Village and Edward and J. Ar- thur Elliott of Central Village and Florence Elliott, deceased. She also leaves one grandchild, Miss Arleen Taveria. Mrs. Elliott was an ideal wife and mother, faithful to the interests of home and children. In her last hours she expressed the satisfaction that she had always labored for their edu- cation and moral well being. Gentle, unselfish and always thoughtful of others, she endeared herself to a large circle of friends and neighbors. ‘The funeral was held from her home Mondap morning, April 9, at 8 o'clock, the house belng filled with relatives and friends from this state and three neighboring states.

Liverpool, April 10, 11.08 p. m.—The American Hne steamer New York, bound from New York for Liverpool, struck a mine last night when nearing her destination. The explosion oc- curred on the port bow of the vessel. Nearby vessels went to the assist- ance of the liner and all her passen- gers were taken off and brought to the landing stage here. It was found that the damage, which was confined to the.fore part of the vessel, was not serious and the New York was able to make her dock under - her own steam. The vessel had shipped some water, but her appearance as she came into the river suggested nothing more than that she was heavily laden. The steamer will go into drydock as early as_possible. The New York struck a submerged mine and the explosion shook the ves- sel from stem to stern. Orders were at once given to every person to dom & life belt. The crew behaved splen- didly, as the vessel began to take in water rapidly. The bulkheads were promptly closed but in a very short time there were many feet of water in_the forehold. During the launching of the small boats some of the crew received minor juries. en landed late tonight many of the passengers showed signs of their rience. Some of the wom. vousness and from exposure, and sev- eral of them spent the night at hetels here under thescare of physicians. A few were stil] wearing life belts and insisted on away as souvenirs. The crew stayed by the ship and brought her in. Divers are already at work examining the hull, but the ex- tent of the damage is not belleved to have been very great.
