At 12 about 200 Pioneers gathered at Ponemah all and the seventh annual business meeting was opened by the president, Albert Rollinson, who in welcoming the Pioneers, paid a tribute to the village of Taftville and told how pleased he was that the Pioneers 2 |could once more meet in a body with- hearty slan on the back, accompanied |in the limits of the village where their Guess|boyhood was spent. The minutes of the last meeting were read and ac- cepted, as was the treasurer's report. officers for the ensuing year took place. which resulted as follows: President, R. Thomas. of Providence, R. vice president, William Brierley, New Bed- ford; secretary and treasurer. William R. Booth of Providence, R. L. After the election of officers Dr. George Thompson of Taftville was called upon to zive the address of wel- come, and in his address the Pioneers were heartily weicomed to the village. and were told to make themselves at home, if they had not yet done so. Senator Halloway of New Bedford was then called upon for a speech, and responded in his sincere way. express- ing the sentiment of the entire group when he stated that bad weather could never discourage a Piomeer. Speaking for the society, he thanked Mr. Rick- etson and J. D. Aiken for their liberat support of the Pioneers, and for the many kind favors they had done for the society. He then called for a ris- ing vote of thanks. which was re- sponded to unanimously. At this point President Rollinson arose from his seat and in few words carrying a heartfelt meaning he requested that every Pioneer &tand for one-half minute as a tribute to the | two members of the society who had responded to the call of their Maker, during the past year. and for the time mentioned all stood with heads bowed in memory of the late Richard Dunse of Woonsocket, and the late William Hicks of Taftville. A motion made that the next reun- jon of the society be held at New Bed- ford was lost and the matter of the next meeting place was left in the nands of the officers for decision. It was aiso voted that every member liv- ing out of the village leave his name and the name of any friend with the secretary so that in the future all members might be notified of the re- union. Several other members were called upon and responded with stories of the old days which brought back many an incident that happened when the men were into any kind of mischief possible. The famous ball game be- tween the Red Nose team and the Bot- tle Nose team was pleasingly describ- ed. Soon the motion to adjourn was made and the seventh annual business meeting was closed. The hall had been decorated for the occasion, the stage being made at- active by the use of pailms. while lags of all nations were strung from the four cormers of the room. The lofficers of the Pioneers were seated on the platform. Parade Held. At 1 o'clock Tubbs Military band under the leadersnip of John M.

Whitite- sey, commissioner of domestic ani- mals, who gives oral advice that far- mers arm themselves to protect their flocks from roaming dogs. Commis: sioner Whittlesey said vesterday that gnless the “roaming dog” 2 ed by the Jast legislature. stricily. the $10.000 appropriation made to the Connecticut Agricultural college will result in but small bene- fits. This appropriation was express- Iy named to encourage the sheep in- dustry in Connecticut, but the press ence of so many roaming dogs have caused farmers to become discouraged as to raising sheep. Commissioner Whittlesey _said: “This is the season of the year for dogs 1o attack sheep. There have been reported to me eight casex of damage among five different flocks in towns including Norwich and Bark- hamstead and roaming dogs were the cause of all the trouble. These dogs are liable to distribute contagious dis- sheep and poultry. They are a menace to public health, and the new law should be strictly enforced.” “The law regarding these dogs reads: “The dog warden shaii ™hake A gent search and inquiry fof the vio- lation of any provision of Chapter 186 of the General Statutes and shall take into his custedy every dog not having a tag or plate on a collar abeut his neck as hereinbefore pro- vided, or which he shall find roam- ing. unattended, over the country not the property of the owner or keeper, in reasonabie call or centrol of the owfier, keeper, of agent er which he shall find at large in the public highway not abutting on the property of (he owner or keeper or agent, and not attended or not in rea- sonable eall and control of the own- er, keeper or his agent, or which shall not be confined. or controlled agree- able to any rule, order or regulation, duly promuigated by the commission- er on_domestic animals or by any lo- cal official or officials vested with au- thority to make such ruies, order, or regulation and shall impound each dog so taken.” SHOWS 50 PER CENT. GAIN IN NORWICH POPULATION Norwich has had a »..n of 50 per cent. in population in the last 10 vears, according to_a survey made by the Cewspaper Feature bureau in antici- pation of the coming census of 1 For all cities of a population of 25000 or over the figures have been obtained through a survey which included re- poris of city school superintendents, reports from municipal water depart- ments as to services, consumers and families. Nérwich had a population of 20,367 according to the 1910 census, which the survey just taken now raises to 30,550, a gain of 30 per cemt. An outstanding feature of the sur- vey is the rapid growth of the cities since 1910, much greater than during the 1900-1910 neriod. The industrial expansion, so utarked in nearly every ity. has attracted larger numbers than before from rural communities, The war industries alone brought thousands from country to city.

The house is owned by Hertz Bros. and is occupied by Mrs. 13a Rutey. The fire company had | been there the day before for a similar fire and the landlord had been warn- ed to have the soot cleared out, but It had not been done before the second | fire occurred.

A lttle after noon the flood from the skies ceased and the rest of the after- noon was fairly free from rain. but after 8 p. m. the floods descended again, continying for nearly an hour, with a heavy downpour.
