A southbound trolley ear of the Con- necticut company that left Putnam Cen- ter shortly after 6.30 Friday night ran off the tracks on Grove stréet in front of the Soldiers' monument. The ‘Fear truck jumped the rails and went oft on to the pavement; while the body of the car swung around at right angles, stretching out across the road. The forward truck did not leave the irons. There have been road repairs in progress on Grove street, and crushed rock has been used.. It is thought that a plece of this was on the track and caused the caf to jump. The road was tied up for more than an hour while the wrecking crew was putting the home’ address, were caught right at their felonious work in the Store of Andrew Jaworski, Main street, near the bridge over the Assawaga river. 5 The safe they blew open contained a small amount of cash, a nice black of Liberty bonds, some war savings stamps and o bank book, the cash and securl- ties being in excess of $1200. None of the valuables were lost, as the safe- breakers did mat have an opportunity to move before they were pounced upon and locked up.

Neither Burke nor Ryan were armed excepting that one had a knife and the other a razor, and this is considered a strange circumsthfice for persons _ in their hagardous calling. That they know the safe-cracking ghme is evidenced, however, by the job they did upon the one they tackled at Jaworski's store and the toois and materials with which they worked. The door of the safe was blown clean off and the interior strong box opened by the explésion. No explosives were fourd on the men when they were arrested, but they had a plentiful sur- plus supply of fuse and dynamite caps. Patrolman Wolfe and = Jaworski also found a searchlight, a brand mew chisel, a railroad coupling pin and a candle. A puzzle among the safe-breakers’ posses- sions was a small bottle of iodine, about two-thirds used, and bearing on the la- bel the name of a local drugeist.

Ryan and Burke removed it from its usual position in the store, pushed it along the floor a considérable distance to rear of the shop and eventually t inside the big refrigerator. It was in this cool location that the cracksmen worked upon it, covering it up with coats and other materials about the store before lighting the fuse that set oft the charge. Burke had pocketed the small amount of cash—change—that was in the safe before he was captured, but he had no time to get the securities. Why Burke and Ryan did not hear the three men who captured them talk- ing outside seems strange, but one the- ory is that they did hear them and as- sumed they were no one interested in the James' chureh on Sunday that, through the courtesy and generosity of the Con-| necticut Mills company, hé has been able to make arrangements for the opening of another parochial schodl in reoms that will be supplied by the mill company at Connecticut village.

Frank L. Davis, agent of the Windham County Farmers' association, said on Saturday that the ditching and tractor demonstrations held last week on two farms in the county were successful from every standpoint. The demonstration in the north end of the county was on the farm of August Danielson, which is on the state road from Pomfret to South Woodstock. Thirty-eight touring cars and trucks brought over 200 people from sutfounding towns to the demonstration. Representatives of two commercial trac- tor companies demonstrated what their machinés could do, both plowing low, wet land. Mr. Davis stated that under the conditions, which Were somewhat severe, both machines did excellent work, and showed clearly how valuable such ma- chine sare for agricultural work. Fol- lowing the tractor demonstration, T. J. Enslin, an ekpert in the use of explo- sives, arrived with the dynamite set for the ditching demonstration. The charge blew a ditch four feet deep and betweer eight and nine feet wide. Mr. Ensiin also demonstrated the mud-capping of rock, and the blowing of Stumps. Twenty automobiles assembled in the afternoon of the same day at the C. S. Hyde farm in Brooklyn, where Mr. Enslin | gave another ditching demonstration, and was very successful in mud-capping a large rock. Using six sticks of dyna- mite with a mud-cap, he was able to shatter the rock so that a large amount of it could easily be removed. In com- menting upon the demonstrations, Mr. Davis said that great interest was shown in them, and already a number of the farmers present plan to do their ditch- ing work by the use of explosives. In this way it will be possible to bring into use in this county a considerable area of land that now is uncultivated because of proper irrigation. By using the explo- sives, Mr. Davis says, the land can be drained at a cost that makes it profitable to undertake the work. Covgresyman Richard P. Freeman of —_— MARRIED.

The loss is estimated at more than §8,000. The concern, which is owned and managed by L. A. Lockwood of Putnam and Providenee, was engaged in the dyeing of raw cotton and woel. At the time of the fire there was not much stock in the building, as the plant had been shut down for the last two weeks. The fire was discovered by Mrs. R. Chap- man, who was sitting in a window of her home near by, watching the storm. She saw the lightning enter the mill on the electric. wires which furnished the power by which the plant was operated. The Putnam fire department was called and made the five-mile run in - good time. When they arrived the inside of the build- ing was ‘a mass of flames and there was no hope of saving it. The firemen con- fined their attentions largely to nearby stockhouses and dwellings which were in danger. Water was obtained by pumping from a nearby brook. Wilfred Babbitt, engineer of the plant, was one of the first to reach the mill after the fire was dis- covered. He supervised the removal of dye and raw stock from stockhouses. The building which was destroyed was three stories high, of wood, and 76x50 feet size. About ten men were émployed at the works. The loss is covered by In- surance. —— PHOENIXVILLE The pupils’ of Phoenixville school were given an outing and picic at the grove Wednésday, the 25th, by their téacher, Mrs. Roy Clemens.
