Gurleyville, July 26.—Fire that starte at 2 oclock this morning fom causes un- known totally destroyed the Goudbrod Bros. Silk mill at Gurleyville, and the mill boarding house connected with the mill property, causing a property loss of $25,000 aid a loss in stock of about $7.- 000. The property was covered by in- surance. Mr. and Mrs. Hobby, who live n the boarding house connected with the mill property were awakened about 2 o'clock in the morning and saw flames ooting from the mill structure. An a'arm was sent out but nothing could be done to save the building. The flames which began on the north end of the structure, spread throughout the build- fng and neighbors aided the Hobby fam- ily in saving some of the household fur- niture before the mill and boarding house burned to the ground. The property, which was located near the' lank of the Fenton river at one ena of the vilage towards Storrs, was a wooden building, the north end one story high measuring 50 by 36 feet. On the south end an ell of two stories, 40 by 20 feei, connected with the board- ing house, a two story structure 30 by 20 feet. The mill property was owned by the Goudbrod Brothers of Pottstown, Pa., and was purchased in October, 1919, trom E. L.'Smith of Gurleyville, wWho had op- erated the mill for twenty-five years. At the time of the fire the employes of the company numbered about 15, all engaged in_machine twisting and throwing. The mill, which is reputed to be the second oldest silk mill in the country, was built in 1810 by James Royce, grand- father of E. L.

The text was Ps. 73- 41, "And limited the Holy One of Is- rael” Several examples were given of how one can limit his own powers, which is a serious thing; one can limit the powers of his fellow man and hinder progress, which is a still more serious thing; but the profound)y serious thing is to limit the powers of the Holy One of Israel. Mr. Aldrich is passing a few days of his vacation wWith his parents, Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Aldrich at the parsonage on West Town street. T The Congregational and Methodist Christian Endeavor Socleties of Norwich Town met Sunday evéning in the Metho- dist vestry. The topic was The Perils of Materialism. Louls Maples, president of the Norwich Christian Endeavor Union, read the reference from 1 John, 2: 15- 17. Miss Blanche Wheeler and Lewis Irish sang a duet, Jesus Leads. Several of the hymns used at the recent world's C. E. convention were sung during the service and the report, continued from the previous Sunday was read under the following head{fgs: The estimated num- ber: of delegates and the places from which they came; the names of the many places where this society exists; how some delegates reached New York: the welcome received by the delegates at the first general session; a summary of the address of Dr. Francis E. Clark's president and founder of Christian En- deaver, also the addresses of Dr. Amos R. Wells, and Frederick Wallis, and a general description of the C. E. parade in New York July 9.

The north end of the strue- ture was built a few years ago, but the ell, which was the original mill was practically the rame as when it was built In 1810. In the old days the pow- er was entirely furnished by water pow- er but when E. L. Smith took the mill succeeding his father, E. B. Smith, steam power was installed. In 1810 the mill em- ployed 15 to 20 operatives and the num- ber increased and during Mr. Smith's ownership over forty employes worked there. Since the war the business has lessened and when the fire wiped out the mill only 15 hands were employed. The Goudbrod Brothers could not be reached Tuesday and it is considered un- likely that the structure will be rebutit. The loss of the mill to the village will be felt as many of ‘the residents found employment there when business was good. From its historic standpoint its loss will also be a blow to the village, as one of ithe oldest silk mills in the coun- try has been lost forever. The Goudbrod Brothers only recently installed a new water wheel at the mill and invested over $3,000 in the property which was entirely lost in the fire. ALLEGES REASONS IN JITNEY CASE APPEAL Assigning twenty-five reasons, W. A. Perritt and 'Christopher Glenney of Manchester, whose application for a cer- tificate to operate three jitneys from South Manchester to Hartford and re- turn was denied by the public utilities commission, ‘have appealed to the super- for court, for a re-examination of the propriety and expediency of the decree and to “grant such relief to the appel- lant as may be just and equitable in the premises,” “The appellants are a party to the the Connecticut company and the city of Hartford are the only adverse parties,” says the com- plaint. The argument is advanced the commission erred in refusing to give a certificate of public convenience and necessity, despite favorable evidence at a hearing in May, and the complaint re- cites further, that the appellants have not applied for and do not desire a cer- tificate of limited service, that tne com- mission erred in deciding that routes in city streets, whether for urban or su- burban_traffic, should conform as far as racticable to. the routes prescribed by the common council or city ordinance for public service cars. Other arguments made in favor of a re-hearing are: Because the commission erred in de- ding that public necessity and conven- nce for a jitney service camnot exist where a company ‘is willing and capa- ble of affording adequate service at reasonable rates, because the commis- sion erred in construing the statute as prohibitory rather than regulatory, be- cause the construction placed upon the statute unconstitutional, because the general assembly has no constitutional right to enact laws which abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States, because said stat- ute is class legislation and in effect re- stricts the right of the public in the or- dinary and usual use of the highwavs of the state, because under the construc- tion of the statute by the commisston the property of citizens is taken wihout due process of law, because under the construction by the commission the that rights of. individuals to use the high- | pose jparticularly to scrutinize ways of the state are restricted and di- minished %o as to enlarge and increase the special privilege of the trolley com- pany, because the refusal of the com- mission to grant a certificate to the pe- titioners confiscatory. and in derogation of their property rights and in deroga- tion of common right and in violation of the constitution of the state and of the United State SIX AGREEMENTS APPROVED UNDER WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION Six workmen's compensation agree- ents as follows have been approved by ‘ommissioner J.

FORGED LIQUOE PRESCRIPTIONS NOW MAKE APPEARANCE Prohibition Director Stremlau has been advised by the headquarters at Wash- ington that fraudulent physicians’ pre- scriptions for the purchase of liquor are being circulated throughout the east, and he was instructed to warn drug- gists in the Connecticut district to watch for them. So far nome of the fraudu- lent prescriptions have been located in the state, that he has heard of, Mr. Stremlau said, but warning will be given the druggists in the state, numbering about 200, who are licensed to fill such prescriptions. In his warning Mr. Stremlau instructs the druggists to compare all prescrip- tion blanks they receive with the sam- ple blanks fugnished them for that pur- , and if they are not satisfied ‘that the prescription is genuine, to notify the director's office. They are warned carefully all prescriptions. signed with.the name of a doctor they do not know. According to Mr. Siremlau the druzgis! should ‘be able to tell the fraudulent prescrip- tions from the genuine, if they examine them closely. OIL STATION BOILER PLANT AT SCOTCH CAP BURNED Fire breaking out in the engine room of the Tidewater Oil company at Scotch Cap. -Quaker Hill, about 630 Monday evening, leveled the boiler plant and for a time seriously threatened the gas and oil lines which lay near the scene of the blaze. The main lines are reported to have become overheated and an explosion was feared, A telephone call reached New London for help, and Assistant Chief Charles Rose responded with the Nameaug En- gine company, and on reaching Quaker Hill found a bucket brigade made up of employes of the company, endeavoring to fight the fire. The firemen were unable to get adjacent to any water supply where the, motor pump could be used and were forced to fight the fire with chemicals. An_emergency call was also semt to the United State ssubmarine base and the naval authorities summoned all the crew of the engineering force, intending to transport the crew acroes the river for service. The maval fire boat. is reported to have been undergoing repairs at the time, however, and before the naval men could get under way the city firemen had the fire under control. The boiler room was constructed of corrugated iron, of the structure had burned away the] iron shell caved in, leveling the building to- the ground. The cause of the blaze could not be learned. 4 R. €.
