DANIELSON Joseph William Warren, 77, was found dead lying outside the door of his barn in the Mashentuck district early Wednes- day morning. His death was caused by exposure, following a fall, Dr. George M. Burroughs, medical examiner, stated after viewing the body and ascertaining the circumstances surrounding Mr. Warren's death. Indications are that Mr. Warrén lay near the door of the barn from probably § or § o'clock Tuesday night until shortly after daylight Wednesday morning, when his body was discovered. He had been dead only a short time when found. Itis believed that he fell upon arriving from Danielson late Tuesday afternoon and was unable to arise. His presence on the place was not noted by his wife, who be- lieved that he had not returned from Danielson, where he had driven on a b\lli- ness trip. Mrs. Warren was under the impression when Mr. Warren did not arrive home at about the usual time he was to be expect- od that he might possibly have been de- layed at a blacksmith shop awaiting the oeing of his horse, and later dismissed this thought for the belief that it was so jey that he would remain in Danielson over night rather than attempt the return trip. The storm had, disabled the tele- phone line, so Mrs. Warren was unable to ascertain by this method as to whether Mr, Warren had remained in,Danielson. She did not hear his team as he drove in, nor was he aware that he lay near the barn with his horse standing near by throughout the night, Mr. Warren was one of Killingly’s old- est citizens. He was born in Gloucester, R. L, a som of Lester R. and Elizabeth (Arnold) Warren. For 35 vears he was a school teacher in Killingly and many men and women now grown to manhood remember him as their instructor at the Killingly Center school. He had lived for years on the place in the Mashentuck district of thé town, about three miles from Danielson, where his death ocourred. Mr. Warren leaves his wife and one daughter, Mrs. John Baton, of Wauregan. The late Dr. M. 8. Warren, who practiced dentistry in Dan- felson, was a son of Mr. and Mrs. War- ren, Tests being made of the siren of the borough's fire alarm telegraph system Wednesday wafternoon again brings to | mind the hazard that Danielson is accept- ing in relying wholly on one siren for sounding fire alarms, a situation that Chief Engineer A.

Getting in touch - with East Killingly subscribers of the telephone company con- tinued to be something of a problem dur- ing Wednesday, for the storm damage was so extensive in that section of the town ‘that repair men were unable to clear it up during the day. The Bast Killingly section suffered more severely from the storm than any other part of the town of Killingly. Washouts were reported during Wed- nesday along the line of the new highway to Little Rest. These were due to the severity of Tuesday's storm, in which great quantities of water fell hereabouts. In the vicinity of South Killingly there is constderable havoc caused by the storm. Included in wires that are down are two used exclusively for carrying stock market reports between the Wall street district in New York and Boston broker- age offices. Fiffeen cable men who -are making their headquarters at the Meadow Brook inn near South Killingly while engaged$ as they have been for months past, on underground cable work, were called out to do aerial work in oring lines knocked down by the sto) and on Wed- nesday were scattered over country in the northern part of the county, and near Webster and near Hampton. These men are A. T. and T. empioyes, familiarly cial service fo rths ‘Wwomen's nr(ulxw- tions.

There is only. one—and he unopposed— candidaté for mayor, Senator Archibaid Macdonald, who has very. previously ser- ved the city in able manner as chief executive. There is only one candidate for alderman-at-large. The election, ex- cepting as it pertaing to the alection of a tax collector, where thers is to be a contest, will be a mere formality. Interest now centers in what the mew government will do after it organizes early in January and flis the appoin- tive offices that will be within its gift. One of the institutions eut of from electric lighting service js the Pomfret school, Pomfret, whore approximately 130 boys are studving this vear. Anti- quated lghting devices have been brought into use until the service ean be restored. ~ Drivers om rural routes outof this eity have had their troubles. in endeavering to cover their usuval ferritory and bring mail to patrons throughout this week. Mud, fallen trees, braken poles and wirs entanglements have made some of the areas covered seem like No Man's Land. Sections of storm fefices were being set up Wednesday on the north side of Grove street at ils eastern extremity te protect that exposed stretch of cement roadway from becoming. drifted, during the storms of winten ing Tuesday night. The damage to fruit and shade trees and.to timber land in the town of Woodstock is almost beyond belief, and residents there regara the storm as the most destructive in their experience. Whole orchards have been rined in some sections of the town. Par- ticularly heavy damage to apnie orcharas occurred at Woodstock I\, North \Voodatock and East Woodstock. Prac- v all of the trees on what is known ias the Gildersieeve farm are almost if not wholly ruined the result of ice gathering ‘upon thi and limbs -and trunks snapping under the pressure of the gale of Tuesday. For two days past Pomfret, Wood- ock and Thompson, excepting in some sections, have been in darkness except- ing as light has been supplied by lamps, |lanterng and candles. The storm dam- aged the electric light service wires te such an extent that the service of the Putnam Light and Power Company could not be supplied. ' Efforts to clear away this handicap were in full biast during Wednesday, when it was hoped that by evening the lines would bp restored as far as Overlock's corner in Pomfret and in part of the town of Thompson. In ‘Woodstock the situation is the worst and a longer time will be required to restore serv! stated that the tops had broken off in many cases, leaving only the trunks standing. It appears that some areas in Wood- stock were harder hit than others, the | properties oft high points of land getting the worst of “the storm. Judge Clarence H. Child said that the worst of the damage {o the- trees oc- curred between 8 and 10 o'clock Wed- nesday morning. The trees had previ- ously been heavily coated with iee and gave way under the pressure of a gale that at times blew with a velocity of 50 miles an hour. Many limbs were torn off large elms thal for vears have been the pride of Woodstock and some of these trees are so badly damaged that they may have to be taken down. Between this clty and East Thompson 40 poleg were reported down Wednesday. morning. During the storm of Tuesday a pilot locomotive with cahoose was sent over the main line from Putnam to Bos- ton ahead of all passenger trains to pre- vent possible wrecks from poles that might have fallen acrossithe rails. The pllot crew shuttled back #nd forth dur- ing the day. An evening:passenger train from Boston was delayed at Douglas for two hours and a half as the result of poles having falien across the tracks. Automobile tracks that had been stall- ed and unable to proceed over cy high- ways running out of this city began to been so trimmed as to protect the wires agalnst limbs falling upom them there would have been little or no damage to the lines. An inspection of the entire system of ®nes running out of this city to supply light to surrounding communi- ties showed on Wednesday only one break not caused by limbs falling upon them, and the exception was where a cromm-arm gave out on one pole, a min- or bit of damage that would not have interrupted the service. Lighting company representatives have had many difficulties in the past with property owners who protested against having trees trimmed so as to prevent limbs overhanging lines of the compan: In many cases absolute refusal to.allo trimming has, been encountered. Had property owners permitted trees to be trimmed no such tangle as now confronts the people of the surrounding towns would have occurred, particularly as concerns the light wires. And in this connection it seems little less than irony that some of the most vehement pro- testers against the trimm\ng of trees to et clearance for the lines were the loudest complainants on Wednesday be- cause their homes and other buildings have been left temporarily without lights. THE HORRORS OF Failure of the siren to properly sound an alarm means in effect that the entire | fire alarm telegraph system of the bor- ough would be rendered impotent, and this might mean a disastrous fire loss that otherw might not have occurred. Numerous citizens believe that an aux- ] Ul He"e'Ed By Fm" a t"es " ary siren should be installed by the ‘l’he Famuus F""t Maulcma borough, these citizens favoring a pian | that has been advocated for some time past. The plan is for the horough to rurchase a compressed air plant and siren to be installed at the central fire station.
