Tillinghast has -all the trout fishermen in this neck of the woods ‘highly envious of him and of his prowess with rod and reel. The reason is that Mr, ' Tillinghast was’ showing on Wed- nesday a speckled beauty that weighed twe pounds and nine ounces and meas- ured 19 inches in length. This is the grandest trout shown in this section of eastern Connecticut this season, and Mr. Tillinghast is not unduly proud of the fact that he is the man that caught it. This’ particular trout was suspected of being" where Mr. Tillinghast caught him, and that isn't saying where, The lucky fisherman will tell you that this young leviathan -made the water boil when the attempt was made to start the reel work- ing and that a struggle that lasted over five_minutes preceded the landing of the fish that has since made many fishermen ‘wonder how they do it. & Following services held Wednesday af- fernoen at the home of his sister, Mrs. Edgar Smith on Chapel street, Putnam, Rev.

At a meeting of strikers of the French River Textile company, held Wednesday it was voted 40 to 13 not to return to work at present. Weavers and dresser tenders went out on strike more than a week ago, demanding 48 hours be de- clared a week’s work and asking for a scale of wages described as like that of the American Woolen company. It was stated on excellent authority on Wed- nesday that numbers of the strikers would like to return to their work, but as yet have not developed the courage that such an act would require of them in facing the criticism of the other and more radical strikers. Captain J. H. Bulger of the police has received many compliments of late over fhe manner in which he has handled the strike situations that have developed in this city and vicinity. Captain Bulger has-been insistent that the rights of all persons be recognized while at the same time conceding to the strikers such rights as are inallenably theirs. His excellent work is appreciated by all who have the interest of the city at heart.

After the conference it Wwas stated that the fire department situation remains at it was. There is no com- pany at the Smith Street station, where No. 2 was located, and that company’s motor truck is at the Central Fre sta- tion. The conference brought forth statement that the members of No. Hose company resigned in a body be- cause they had been informed that their resignations would be requested. As they were lead to believe they were to be dropped from the department, they an- ticipated official actjon by resigning, it was stated in their behalf. Members of the fire committee in the special committee said they never heard of any intent to drop the members of Hose company No. 2 in a body from the department. It was then stated in the conference that the hint the men were to be dropped came from Chief Arnold, who explained that he had made no such statement as had been presented to the conference. The conference was not free from acri- monious talk at.times but much of what was said was brought forth in reviewing ground previously gome over in discuss- ing the fire department troubles of the past few months. : Alderman Dugas said that property owmers in the northern section of the City felt that a fire company should be maintained at the Smith Street station in order that the valuable property of that section of the city be properly pro- tected. It seemed to be established at the conference, however, that with the present feeling in the northern section the 2 of the city over the fire department trou- | bles no company of men resident in that section can be obtained, as the men who would be available and who reside in that section are loyal to the meén who resigned and would not take their here. While a company likely will be formed later, the whole plan of reorgan- izing the national guard of Connecticut is to get further consideration, as to de- tails, at Hartford.
