Bliven, paper box manufacturer, died at his home, 33 Connell street, at 7 o'clock Saturday morning following an illness of three weeks with hear: trouble. He was born in Windham Feb. 1, 1850, coming to Norwich when he was 17 vears of age, and had resided here since. He married Emma Button of Norwich and with two sons she sur- SAMUEL E. BLIVEN vives the deceased. The eonc are E. LaRue Pliven and Alfred Bliven. There are two_sisters. Mrs. Mary Up- ton" and Mrs. Emily Burgess of Leba- non, and three brothers, Vincent Bliven of Lebanon, James Bliven of Washing- ton street, this city, and George Bliven of Central Village. He was the son of the late John Bliven and Emily Bing- ham. Mr. Biiven came to Norwich from Windham in 1876 and entered the em- ploy of C. N. Farnham, belt manufac- turer, on Water street. He then begaf work' in the box manufacturing plant of his uncle, the lats George Bingham, on the second floot of the building now. occupied by The Manhattan, but for- merly conducted as a hat store by John' T. Clark. He remained there 16 years and then entered the business of box manufacturing on his own ac- count. Mr. Bliven did business under the name of the Norwich Paper Box com- pany and for 28 years was established in the Osgood building on Broadway. Because of need of larger accommo- dations the business was removed to the_Hiscox building in White's court in September, 1912. The business was first_established in the basement of the Osgood building in April, 1885, but after three years the shop was cloged for a time. Later opcrations were re- sumed on the upper floor, where busi- ness was continued for a quarter of a century. Mr. Biiven was a member of the Chamber of Commerce of Norwich and St. James' lodge, No. 23, A. F. and A. M. He was a man of most excellent character, gentle in manner and of kind and generous dispusition. He made his home and his business his chief interests and by his sturdy na- ture had succeeded In business and made it pleasant for those about him In his passing the surviving relatives have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends.

Stanton Answers Call by Sending Two Companies to the Scene—Prompt Work by Firemen Prevented Serious - Loss. The First: Congregational church at Norwich Town Green was on Sun- day afternoon hit and set on fire by ll“tllnm The bolt struck the belfry, tearing away shingles and meiting lead which lines the entrance Into the Dbelfry from the church proper. The interior of the belfry was set on fire but did not break out in flames for some minutes after the bolt struck Immediately after the lightning had struck smoke was seen issuing from the belfry. and a call was sent to Chiet Howard L. Stanton. Although thé church is a mie outside the city limits, Chief Stanton and _Deputy Chiet E. S. Stinson responded. See- ing that the fire was in a very diffi- cult place to reach and as it was threatening the church, Chief Stan- ton called the antopumper from the Central station and Chemical No. 2 B from the Falls. Both companies quickly responded. A line of hose ‘was lald but it was not found neces- sary to use it as the flames were ex- tinguished with the contents of sev- cral smail chemical tanks. There was no one in the church at the time and the doors were locked, but the firemen gained entrance through the cellar door. The flames were just getting under good head- way when the firemen reached the belfry and prompt use of the chemi- cal tanks saved the church. The damage was slight. This was the first call outside the city limits under the new regula- tions. The fire commissioners have given Chief Stanton permission to use his own discretion in sending the a paratus outside the city limits in re- sponse to calls. NORWICH PEOPLE COULD NOT MAKE BOAT And So the Fifth Company Boys Were Disappointed on Sunday. (Special to The Bulletin.) Fitth Co, C. A: C, C. N, J., Fort Terry, N. Y., Aug. 12,'1917.—The Fifth company were all vaccinated and in- oculated Thursday. Each man re- ceived smallpox ®erum in his left arm and typhoid in his right. The inocula- tion took place immediately after din- ner at the hospital. Several of the The Fifth company was supposed to take guard mount, but owing to the inoculation this = was postponed. They were glven a 24-hour rest and were not allowed to leave the company street. In fact, there were only a few that feit like going any- Where other than bed. The camp was unusually quiet and all went to bed early. In the morning there was no roll call and mess was not called until = o'clock. Thursday was a strenuous day for evervbody. Dress parade was held at & o'clock, and on returning they were caught in a heavy shower and were soaked through. On arriving in camp orders wore received to clean rifles and fall in for gun drill, which lasted till noon. During the night a heavy storm came up and several of the guy ropes broke. In passing through the compuny street vou see the soldier bovs passing to 2nd fro with sober faces and hold- ing on to their right an The left arm. . which has smallpox. does not bother, hut the right swells and grows Stiff. But outside of the “jabs in the arms” the bovs are all in good health and are enjoying the army life. A Y. M. C. A. tent has bedn erected for the use of the guardsmen at the east end of the island. It will be equipped with a piano, Victrola. writ- ing tables, stationery and magazines. On _Sundays church services will be held and during the week lectures on current topics will be given: atso French ciasfes wiil be held. Rev. Mr. Goidie, who hag been in charge of ¥. M. C.'A. work here, has been trans- ferred and sails for France within a short time. In France he will conduct the same kind of work. Rev. Mr. Goldie is a former Norwich pastor and the boys of the Fifth company regret to_have him leave. It is reportéd around Norwich that the soldiers are getting nothing to eat, r very little. Of course, they are on regular army rations and these do not provide for several course dinners, but the food is very nourishing and each man receives a full meal each time. After~ the return of the rejections the commander has received several letters applying for rejection on ac- count of dependents. No more necd apply, as things have gone so far that is impossible for the commander to grant any more, as the time for ‘such plications has passed. he comfort bags were received and distributed FrMax morning and it needless to say that they were greatly appreciated by the bovs. Th to contain evervthing that w: The whole company unanimously voted o send = vote of thanks to the kind- hearted women of the Woman's Relief corps of Sedzwick post. “Bob.” the mascht, seems ta be enjoying camp life and the chief item on his bill of fare is socks off the tent 1opes, and when he is unable to get these delicacies he devotes his appe- tite to cigarette butts, hat cords, pa- pers and tobacco in any. form with equal relish. These are of his own choosing and he prefers them to the natural food. During the week there has heen an addition to the mascot corps, the bovs having 1eceived a beagle pup from a donor who is unknown. “Bob" has developed a distinct dislik= for the new member and goes at him every time he gets a chance. The pup. Terry, in return teases him, seemingly laughing at_his savage thrusts, First Cook Homer Fraser and As- sistants Dydo and Goyette rre turning out good eats and plen.y of them. Sunday’s dinner consisted of half ' canteloupe, steak. potatoes. brown gravy, beets bread and iced tea. It was an ecxcellent dinner and was en- Jjoyed by all. The camps on the eastern end of the island picked up a baseball team and played the hospital corps on Sunday afternoon. 5 A large number of visitors were ex- DPected at tiae camp Sunday. as it wa thouzht that there would be a special grew weak. car leaving Norwich early in the morning to connect with the 7.15 boat for the island, but to the soldiers’ dis- appointment when the boat docked it was learned that the car had not been run.

Friday night at 6 o'clock the com- pany mounted guard under Sergeants Bartolucei and Stone. Captain Tarbox wae_officer of the guard which went on Thureday night. Captain Tarbox was on duty because he was not inocu- iated with the rest of the company. Gun_ inspection was to have been held Friday, but this was also de- iaved owing to the inoculation. A canteen has been opermed at the sastern end of the island which makes it more convenient for the soMiers to make thelr. small purchasce, such as tobacco, candy. fce cream. etc. A tent has been erecte for Guartermaster Sergeant Gregson, where he can keep Lis surplus issues. Mechanic Clark has opered a barber shop in his tent, and here he cuts “Zips.” All that is required to cut these is a pair of clip- pers, the style being “a la prison,” but it 1s very comfortable during the hot weather. A few passes are being sranted, but the longest time on anv pass given is not more than 48 hours. Passes are much prized by the boys. Passes for the island may be gotten by having the soldier who is to be visited see the commanding officer and giving the name of the visitors a week in ad- vance.

With the exception of the finishing touches on the masonry work on top of the plers, the substructure of the new Thames river bridge being built v the New York, New Ha Hartford Railroad company e Thames at New London is.col pleted. " The building of the steet perstructure has been delaved on ac- count of the war. The steel was con- j tracted for a long time ago, but, is generally known, all the steel mi in the country are giving preference o government requirements and only such steel is beinz delivered at tne present time as is essential for the prosecution of the war. Just when the New Haven will be able to obtain this steel is an uncer- tainty. It is hoped, however, that de- liveries will commenee in the fall, in which case the bridze will be opened for operation in 1918. Ar interesting feature of the steel work, and one that forcibly illustrates the high cost of railroad living, has to do with the cstimated and actual cost figures of the steel. Three engineers—one a New Haven engineer and the other two recofnized authorities in bridge engineering—made separate estimates of the cost of the steel for this bridge. Their estimates varied by than $4,000. But owing to the enormous increase in steel prices, the New Haven railroad will have to pay approximately $200,000 more than any of_these engineers estimated. While the old bridge is some 36 feet longer than the new structure will be, it is considerably lighter. The old bridge is 1425 feet long, while the new one will be 1,387 feet. The weight of the oid bridge is 2,400 tons, and the new one 5.225 tons. The old structure was made of open hearth and Bessemer carbon steel of an elas- tic strength of about 24,000 pounds per square inch. The new bridge will be of silicon steel, with an elas- tic strength of not less than 45,000 pounds per square inch. The old ridge is of the draw or swing span type, the span being operated by steam engines. The new bridze is of the vascule of lift span type, the span Jeing operated by electric motors. The motors will he taken from three cources to Insure against mishap and delay. In building the four piers for the substructure, open-well dredging was the method emploved for three of them, and the pneumatic caisson pro- cess for the other. The old bridge is placed on piles, but it was not prac. tical to use piles for the new bridge, as the soft river bottom loam or clay | would not give adequate support to a pile cluster in a degree requisite for | this bridze. The subsoil Is mud or soft clay for 50 to 100 feet, water be- ing 20 to 50 foet deep. Below the mud is firm gravel to support the deep piers. The center piers adjacent to he channel. go down to a depth of [ 130 feet below water, in order to rest upon suitable foundation material Above the tide level the plers and abutments extend 25 feet high in an artistic desigh. They furnish the sup- port for the steel pedestals of the bridze trusses, which are to carry the railway tracks. The extreme di- mensions of the foundations of tha | piers are 42 feet by 98 feet. It re- auired about 46.000 cubic vards of concrete to construct these plers. Over 31,000,000 has already been ex- pended on the Thames river bride. The new bridge will be a five-span structure. with bascule type of lift. The bascule tvpe was chosen because jof the saving in time reauired for opening and closing to permit vessals |15 pass up or down stream. The five spans from west to east will be 185 feet, 330 feet, 212 feet, 330 feet and 330 "feet. About 5525 tons of steel will be used in the co superstructure. In the City Court. At the session of the city court held turdav morning Judge Pettis was on the bench and disposed of the follow- ing matters: * Stephen Regavich, a boarding house proprietor who called the police to his house in Greeneville early Saturday morning to arrest Peter Mashitski, wi$ before the court, but his case was continued to Sept. 15, and in default of bonds he went to jail. Saturday morning when the police went to.the boarding house they found Mashitski .ying on the floor of one of the rooms. He was suffering from a fractured le.

The empnasis was lald on the last clause; accord ing to my gospel. ust recently 2 book has been writ- ten by the venerable William Dean Howells, entftled, My Mark Twain. This book is a true biography and correct as to information but at the same time it is a great deal more. It is an appreciation and a work full ympathy and affection. It is his own Mark Twain that Howells show: An filustration of the same thing is conveved in the touching little anec- dote of the wounded French soldier of Napoleon’s army. Wounded unto death with a bullet over his heart he voiced his great love when he said to the surgeon who was following the course of the bullet, “Probe a little deeper, sire, and you wiil find the em- peror. " It was his Napoleon enthroned in_ his heart. In his epistle to Timothy Paul was telling him of his religion and the zospel which had been given him b the love and grace of God. He never forgot the vision he had received on his way. This gospel was his by di- rect revelation and he never cgased to remember that. He had enteted into the spirit of it and transmitted it in- to his life. He heid it his gospel, the heart of which was the loving Christ. Mayhe we feel aiready that a great principle is emersing from this epis- tle, which is, that only that is ours which we have made ours through cx- perience and made a part of our life. In the matter of worldiy zoods, only that wealth is ours that we use for our development and the good of oth- ers, The rest is nothing. Going a step higher we find this more vividly illustrated. Foreigners, coming to our shores are amazed at the prodigality of our expenditure for education. It is part of public opin- ion that the best that we can give the youth' of our land in the matter of education is their due. We lavish money on costly apparatus, fine buildings, splendid teachers, gocd Dbooks. ~ Unless, however,. the pupil takes hold and makes all these a part of himself and part of his life they have failed to accomplish their pur. pose. The finest equipment, the no- blest teachers are lost for him, unless he catches the spirit and meaning that will fit him for his best work in life. That is the real test and aH else that he has not grasped is never a part of him: Circumstances almost compel us®to carry our comparison into the matter of patriotism. We sing, “Our coun- try ‘tis of thee” What does our country mean to us? Is it ours for what we can get out of it or just what does it stand for In our hearts? The great ideals for which tour fath- ers stood and sacrificed and struggled and died, enduring untold hardships and poverty—are they ours? Do-we believe, as they did, in manhood, dem- ocracy, and liberty? These are.ver: practical questions being asked just now. Do we believe In the sacred- Dess of these things? Is it our land because it is a part of our hearts and we are willing to die for it or live for its principlés? Against these backgrounds we see the principles of our religion as some.- thing which must be experienced by us_andybecome a part of u: The value of a creed is that which has transmuted itself in the life of belief, which has become habit and a part of our lives. 2 The emotions of religion are the sameé. They may be genuine as life itgelf. The will must %o into them. The soul of religion is in our knowl- edge and experience of Christ in our lives. It is a splendid goal toward which we set our faces We may say we have not yet be- comé Christians. = We have not yet attained the great goal of the gospel, the everlasting gospel of the Son of God and made it our gospel. We may change the expression of it till it is hardly recognizable but it is still the sospel of the victorious Jesus Christ. The blind man to whom Christ re- stored his sight made his ebnfession. He didn't know Christ because of his ong vears of blindness but he knew that he could see. He held on to the fact that he had and Christ hecame his Savior. Tsn't this a message down the ages t0 us to take firmer Lold on our be- lief in Jesus Christ as our Redeemer and Savior? The best word in the message is, Remember Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. For strength, life, wisdom. guidance and peace He is your and my Christ, Savior and Lord CRASHED INTO FENCE NEAR SOUTH WINDHAM, Machine ;Driven by Jack Geno Badly Damaged Late Last Night.
