When it was first built it was a tavern with a dance hall upstairs where many dances were held through the winter. L:Wr when the house was rebuilt there was a gailery from whicn the dancers could be watched and Mr. Carpenter. remembers seeing one or two dances there. Eighty or ninety years ago a man named O'Brien lived in the house, ac- cording to what Mr. Carpenter remem- bers his father told him, and bought all the shad that used to be caught in the | Thames river. At that time the shad\ fishing was such an important occupa- tién that probably eighteen to twenty gangs were fishing from Perch rock to Allyn's Point, and Mr. O'Brien used to take all their fish, paying 6 1-4 cents per fish to the men who caught them, and selling them to peddlers’ teams that came from all over this section of the state and carried the fish away to sell to the farmers. Every farmer salted down a barrel of shad just as regularly as he salted down pork for his family Tt was a tepant house on the state hospital property -and was occu- pied by Mr. and Mrs. R. Smallwood and family of five children The loss on the building was estimat- ed at §5,000 by Superintendent Franklin S. Wilcox. The state carries no insur- ance on any of its buildings. The furni- ture in the house was saved and the Smallwood family was given temporary ters at the state hospital after the They recently came here from fire. ‘When the roof was discovered on fire, a call for help was sent to the state hos- pital and Dr. Wilcox responded with a force of men with fire extinguishers, and formed a bucket brigade, but the fire had too much of a start for them to do anything towards saving the house.

WAR DEPARTMENT CLEARING UP DRAFT DESERTERS' RECOEDS The war department is promising to publish before long the comvlete list of the names of draft deserters, but before doing so is making effort to clear u» all the cases revorted by local draft boards so that po injustice shall be done to any man. Already the names of about 165,000 men have been removed from the de- serters’ list since they had their cases| disposed of during the war. These were ! men who came under the following clas- sifications : (a) Registrants who enlisted in the army, navy or marine corps, but failed to inform their local boards of the fact. (b) Men who failed to report for military duty, because of ignorance of the selective service act but who, after learning of the seriousness of the of- fense, reported to military camps for service, and were restored to duty, after satisfactorily showing that their offense was not wilful. (c) A small number of persons, who during the progress of the war were con- vieted of desertion, or discharged as physically unfit for service. - (d) Registrants who died after their induction orders were mailed. Of the remaining 325,000 names, the records of 151,000 showed that they could not properly be charged with de- sertion, and their records of 173,000 reg-! strants revealed that they had been or- desed to report for military duty and wilfully failed. Out of over 24,000,000 registrants, the maximum’ number chargeable with wil- ful desertion is 173911;: considerably less than one per cent. of the total reg- jstration, and a tremendous improve- ment over the draft record of the Civil war. The war department, in the near future, will publish to the country a list of men classified as wilful deserter and desires to obtain the cooperation of the various state and local officials, pa- triotic societies and other agencies, in- cluding the department of justice, in bringing about the apprehension of these men. Assurances of such cooperation have in many cases already been given. Exact copies of the list of names, grouped by states or other convenie divisions will be available for postmas- ters, police stations and other age Pending publication of the list of de- serters, any man charged with draft de- sertion who wishes to avoid the humil tion of arre may voluntarily surrend at the nearest army post, camp or sta- tion; in order that his case may be vestigated and his status definitely termined. In the event that any su man’s case shall have been finally dis posed of, prior to the publication of the list of deserters, his name will be omit- ted from that list. Any draft registrant who is’in doubt S to his draft status may write to the adjutant general of the army, Washing- ton, D, C. and find out how he is clas- | sified, notwitbstanding the fact that ig-| norance of such status is the registrant's { own fault, bec; < of interest | in keeping track of his obligations to the de- The war department wishes it clearly bers from Connecticut.

As indicative of the deep interest that is being taken by the French govern- ment in the pilgrimage of the knights, the Paris edition of the New York Herald, of Aug. 18 contains the follow- ing: ‘The French government has given instructions that every courtesy is to be shown to the American visitors, and ev- ery possible arrangement has been made to make the trip through the devastated reigons as comfortable as possible. One of the chief efforts of the govern- ment is to provide satisfactory tele- graphic communication, and if necessary services in the smaller areas visited will be augmented and English-speaking op- erators installed. Orders ha: been sent by the tele- graph authorities to every postoffica on the itinerary of the Knights of Colum- bus party that no delay whatever is to be permitted in the despatching of tele- erams from the American guests to ad- dresses either in Frahce or the United States.” SETTLES FIRE INSURANCE AFTER ROATH ST. EXPLOSION The fire insurance on the house, No. 52 Roath street, where the Jower tene- ment was wrecked by an explosion on the night of July 2, was settled satis- factorily on Tuesday. Because of the explosion there had been some question as to the payment of insurance by the two companies which had policies for $2,500 an the house for the owner John Donovan. This is the house where there was an explosion of sulphur and potash in a closet in the tenement of John Brown, this explosive material having been brought) home' by a boy for use on the Fourth of July.

The of-| fense of draft delinquency is no more to | be overicoked than that of draft deser-| tion. The department of justice has most ably cooverated with the war de- partment in apprehending draft desert- ers. The war department ha temporarily ; suspended the payment of the re §50 for the apprehen: to military authorities of draft des because of the tremendous expense would be incurred. The patriotism and universal desire of the peovle to see no | draft deserter go unpunished, it is be- | lieved will be sufficient incentive with- out the offering of a reward for the ap- prehension and surrender to military authorities of those draft offenders.
