Mrs, Keach had not tabulated complete re- turns, although she had labored until 1.a. m. Sunday, but the figures show that the district has by a lib- ,erg'l‘-m_ugin, the $5,000. . apportion-| ment. “The amount of the over-sub- seription will not be definitely known until Tuesday probably, for benefits are planned for tonight that will add more. ® Heavy subscriptions were received Saturday, which was featured by a tag day.

FELL FROM TROLLEY CAR John Allannis Found to Have Frac- tared Skull, John Allannis, 50, was seriously in- jured just after 6 o'clock Saturday evening when he fell to the pavement in Main street, near Reynolds street, 'while - alighting from a southbound trolley .car. Allannis, who is a mill hand and whose home address was given as 2 Academy street, struck his head when he fell and subsequent ex- aminations showed that he suffered a fracture of the skull. He was given attention by Dr. J. N. Perreault and afterwards was taken to the Day Kim- ball hospital at Putnam. Sunday morning his mind remained in. a somewhat clouded condition and his case was regarded as likely to de- velop grave consequences. Tt was stated that Allannis signs of being about to get trolley car while it was down, after his signal to get been ‘answered by Conductor Atwood by pulling the stop signal. Conduc- tor Atwood is said to have warned Al- lannis not to get off the car until it came to a complete stop. 1t was stated Sunday that Allannis has a son who is also a patient at the hospital in Putnam OBITUARY Charles Budlow. Charles Budlow, 62, who has been emploved in one of the local mills, died Saturday at his home on Morin evenue. He had been ill for a con- siderable period.

At 5 p. m., the veterans again as- sembled to attend a patriotic service at the Congregational church, where representatives of other patriotic or- ganizations were gathered for the special memorial service. The ad- dress was by President Marshall of Connecticut college and there was a special musical programme. Trouble Day on the Electric Road. “It never rains but it pours” seemed to have special application Saturday to the string of little mis-adventures that happened alonz the trolley line. In the morning, troyble with a ma- chine ‘at the sub-station at Putnam crippled the line’s service in that city for a time. Later in the day a trol- ley feed wire snapped off on Main street, near the residence of Judge M. A. Shumway, still later a pole supporting the everhead work broke off and fell across the tracks in Wa- ter street and a man was injured by leaving a car, +it was stated, before the car had come to a full stop. Al of theee little difficulties, over which there could be no control, made it dif- fiealt for the officials to maintain their Echedules of -cars, but t! ‘was very little interruption of service, consid- ering the handicaps placed in the way of smooth operation.

Falling from a raft that titled on end under their weight, Marshman F. Arnold, 10, and Warner R. Arnold, 8, brothers, and sons of Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Arnold, were drowned in a little pond near their home in the Quassett Road section of the town of Pomfret, Saturday afternoon, at about.5 o'clock. Another brother, Philiff, 6, had a narrow escape from a like fate, for he was wading out to the raft when the accident occurred and wes hip deep in the water of the pond when he saw his brothers fall off the raft and begin a struggle to get to' shore. Philip, horrified by the dis- aster to his brothers, hurried to his home and told his mother and grand- mother. The mother rushed out to aid her sons, the grandmother to get the father, who was working in a nearby fleld. All were too late to help tke little boys, however, for their bodies were lying in the mud at the Dottom of the comparatively shallow pond when the frantic parents arrived near the place where the raft was floating idly about, The. bodies wera recovered from the pond in the course of an hour, but in the meantime Mr. Arnold, who worked with furious effort to find the bodies and get them ashore, had become so numbed and chilled that for a time his condition was regarded as danger- ous. Marshman, the oldest boy, ingenious and very active, had: supervised the building of the raft that was to cost him and his brother Warner their lives. Members of the household had heard the hammering tliat accom- panied the building of the frail craft, but di@ not conceive what the boys were about. They had been forbid- den to play about the pond, but h evidently elected to risk parental re- proval in order to test out their plan for building and launching a raft., Just what happened to them was told by their little brother, Phiiip, Wwho' was the only witness of the dis- aster. He has told that the older brothers had gotten the raft into the The druggist will refund %o do as promised. your money if if fails diers stand ready for the protection of democracy. Classes Confirmed by Bishop Nilan. Rt. Rev. J. J.. Nilan, bishop of Hartford, confirmed a class at St. Jo- seph's church, Rev. B. nelly, pastor, Sunday morning fier- wards went to the mission church at Quinebaug, village nearby, and ad- ministered the sacrament to another class. The coming of the head of the diocese to the churches mentioned in the town o Thompson provided a spe- cial incentive to *bringing out larse congregations. Bishop Nilan went from Thompson Sunday afternoon tv confirm a class at the Sacred Heart church in Wauregan. P Physical Examination Planned. Beginning today and _ continuing through tomorrow Dr. J. B. Kent, the chairman of the Ictal board, will con- water and climbed aboard it and he was making his way out to them them through the water when the raft tipped up on end. Magshman could swim a little and was safely making his way toward shore, when he discovered that Warner was not faring so well and had .evidently become lodged in the mud. He turned back to the rescue of his brother, Philip tells, and in trying to save him went down with Warner. A member of the family said Sunday afternoon that it would seem from the appearance of Marsh- man’s bedy when it was taken from the water that the boy had been choked with mud as well as water. The double drowninz shocked the entire community and there were ‘were many expressions of sympathy. QUOTA PROBABLY DOUBLED. Although $7,500 Was Asked For, It is Confidently Expected to Secure $15,000. Red Cross workers were elated on Sunday over the remarkable results achieved during the drive of the past week in the towns that make up the district. Sunday’s tabulations show- ed a total of $13,024 in subscriptions, but this - figure is not the final one, for theer are in subscriptionsheFt-fi- for there are more contributions - to come in. Dr. F. A. Libby voieed the feeling of many of the workers when he stated, Sunday afternoon that he will be disappointed if the final fig- ures for the district are not $15,000 or_better. Money came in streams Saturday, ‘when a special effort to pile up a big over-subscription was underway here, and it is not expected that the streams of silver and gold will entirely dry up for several days to come. The city of Putnam alone contrib- uted $2,167 during Saturday. This was great work for Putnam, which has been more tham 100 per cent. on the job in every campaign that has been made necessary by the war, whether the demand was for men, money, ma- terials or willing workers. The peo- Dle of the disirict will share with the workers in the joy that comes of have surpassed all expectations in meeting the Red Cross ‘appointment, and ambition soars high now to double the amount that the district was asked for—$7,500. Every town in the district—Putnam, Thompson, Pomfret, Woodstock, East- ford, Ashford, parts of the town of Killingly—have exceeded the amount allotted to them to raise with the ex- ception of Eastford, it was stated on Sunday, but reports from FEastford gave encouragement that the town would go over the too on Sunday. To- day's reports will show. The giving here has been surprising- ly geperous. It has been easfer to get what has been obtained in this drive *han it was to secure the much Jesser amount subscribed in last fall's Red Cross drive, and this is believed to be due to the fact that all now realize that we are engaged in serious business; that fine young men are fighting and dying in France for those who stay at home and that it is up to those who live in safety and com- fort to give without stint that there may be no unnecessary suffering along. the front lines or anywhere that sol- —_— is filled, €0 it is likely that the new apparatus will not be received here before next spring. though it may come through late in the winter. Personals. Mrs. Elmer Hill of Norwich visited here Sunday with relatives. Henry C. Henderson of Providence was a visitor with friends in Daniel- son over Sunday. President’s Proclamation Read. President Wilson's proclamation relative to the observance of Memor- ial day was read at all of the masses at Bt. James' church Sunday, and members of the congregation urged to atténd masses next Thursiay, which also will be the feast of Corpus Chris- ti, the solemnity of which comes next Sunday. . Wonderful Instances of Liberal Giving As an inspiring change from re- ports of persons refusing to give to the Red Cross comes closing campaign reports of peoplo, of slemder means, ‘who gave so- liberally that there is no question but that they gave “until it hurt,” Solicitors tell of being im- pressed almost to the verge of tears by the unstinted giving of some who had little to give from, but gave even more than they could spare, measur- 2 }ing things as the world measures ough’s new automobile chemical and | them.
