' While the emp¥yees in the room at work a flame suddenly shot up one ‘of the looms and in a minute or two: the entire- inside of the frame struc- ture was in flames. Box 28, Central av-| enue and Eleventh street, was pulled in, and the fire department made a quick re- sponse. A ling of hose was run into the build- ing and a well directed stream rf water soon had the fire out. Two additional lines of hose were tald and held in re. serve, They were not needed. When the firemen arrived on the scene dense smoke was pouring from the building, The_in- terior of the building was full of bifnd- ing, choking smoke, but in site of this were 7 hindr. the firemen worked their way into the building and i na few minutes the flames were Sque'ched. The recall was sounded shortly, after the alarm. The auto pumper, Main sireet com pany, chief and deputy chief respbnded to the call. Neither of the Greensville companies put in an appearance. Inves- tigation after the fire resulted in the dis- ‘covery that faulty wiring was probably responsible fr the blaze. It is thought that power wires running in between steam pices to the machine came in con- tact with the pipes causing a short cir- cult while the machine was in opera- tlon, The Ufford company officlals were greatly pleased with the quick response of the department and the effective work Gone by the fremen, in saving the tuild- ing. /The ¥:ss is covered by insurancs. The company manufactures what is known as sponge cloth. JUDGE BROWN'S DECISION ] 1N MORTGAGE CASE Judge Allyn Y. Brown has rendered decision in the case of Austin I Bush vs. Ida Hastings and Mario Malnati, which concerned differences regarding notes and mortgages. Judge Brown says in his deciston : “Malnati has repaid Bush all cash logned and has fully paid him for all services rendered, set for in the plead- ings. Malnati executed the assignment Lof. the Hastings mortgage, June 6, 1917, and then delivered the note secured thereby to Bush, to secure Bush upon en- dorsement which might be made for Mal- nati's benefit. The four months’ notes of May 20, 1918, for $500 and $150 respec- tively, and of May 21, 1918, for §125, all endorsed by Bush. and all of which Mal- nati had tge t, were eventually paid by Bush. Whieh payments were securec by said assignmen:s. The principal of these three 'votes plus $147.54 interest thereon at 6 per cent from their respec- | tive dates to - Nov. 22, 1321, totals $922.54. “The amount due Mainati from Bush on his note of June 18, 1917, for $100, plus interest. is $126.57. Deduct this from $922.97, the total indebtedness of Malnati to Bush. “Of the $1.369:90 deposited by the de- fendant, Hastings, with the court on Nov. 22, 1921, under interiocutory order, $100 is allowed to cover her counsel fees and costs in full. This deduction is to be proportionately borne by “the other two parties. . “Therefore $737.13 1is ordered paid to the plainiiff Bush, §532.77 to the defend- ant Malnati, and $100 to the defendant, Hastings', attorney. The actual costs shall be borne equally by Bush and Mal- nati, and no further costs taxed.” WOOLEN MILL EMPLOY ‘DROPS DEAD AT WORK John C.

N\ POSTOFFICE HANDLES THOUSANDS OF CHRISTMAS PACKAGES It was a tired looking group of men that “distributed and sorted mail at the local 1est office jon Friday evening just at the close of the biggest day in the his tory of the local post office. These men had been on their feet for 12 to 16/ hours trying to get off - the enormous Christmas mail that fi:oded the. post of- fice on Friday and to distribute the mail for the Norwich people which had arriv=| ed by the hundreds of sacks on each train, When it came quitting time the men aragged themselves home and will be on tse job bright and early this morning to sce that local people get the Christmas oackages on time. Little does the ma- Yrity of peoole realize the amount of work -that is entailed at such a time as his dnd if they could have seen the in- crior of the local offide on Friday even- ing they would have wondered how about 15 or 20 men could have handled such a quantity of mail with so little Sonfusi n. Every man knew what to do and the work went on witkrut a hitch. In the basement of the office there were thou- sands of parcel post packages ready for delivery_ the first thing thi¢ ‘morning. The carriers will leave the offics this merning laden with thousands of letters and posteards. A little of the amount of work that the office force, carriers, parcel post drivers special delivery men, and rural carriers, do can be realized when over 700 sacks of incorfiing mail were handled and over 500 sacks of outgoing maii left the office. The special delivery men alme handled over 250 packages and the parce! post rackages numbered into the thousands. There were in additlon thousands of let- ters delivered. The letters that passed through the can- celing machine on Friday numbered 34, 000 and about 9.000 were canceled by hand, the letters being’ of odd sizes that could not be handled by the canceling ‘machine. / The statiph-at the Thaver buildi which closed on Friday -evening did g0od business and about 470 packages were insured while there ware as many more”that were not insured. James L. Tourtellotte and@ John Burns were in charge. Postmaster Murphy sald on Friday ev- ening that the business done at the post- office during the day was by far the greatest that he had ever secn and tha' this Christmas for w>me unknown rea- son was he largest in the history of the ot only is this fact true of the local office but the same condition er- fsts in other citles.

Commissioner Earl Mathewsot. in this city on liquor viola- tion . charges a8 the result of a cleanup made this week by Eastern Connecticut federal prohibition officers. The officers in their search discovered tWo unique places where moonshine and other outlawed drinks were kept. At the home of Nathan Car in Oneco, one mile from the Rhode Island state line, in the cellar of the house was an up to date barroom, with home brew drawn from the, wood, sawdust on the floor, wine, hard cider and other mixtures, and fixtures.

A gal- lon jug containing moonshine was taken after destruction was made of Other liquors. Alex Rockstalla of West Wauregan all appearances was long iIn the to a land office business. The officers searched the house from cellar to at! and had about decided to pas: Rockst la when a part of the wall of the cellar gave evidence of being removable. When sections were removed the officers found an underground nassage to the bafn, a distance of over one hundred feet. In the underground passage a larze quanti- ty of wine, hard cider and moonshine was found. The officers paid a visit to the tobac- co store of Plerre Grenier at Moosun. At this place a quart bottle halt filled with home made hooch was found. At the home of Joe Gallus, Plainfleld, some innocent home brew was found, but nothing else. Callus was told he was likely to hear from the department later. SPANISH WAR VETS AND AUXILIARY OBSERVE CHRISTMAS L. B.

Crampton, superintend- ent of the state board of fisheries and game, that it is not necessary for fish- ermen to put their names on their tip- ups or bobs. The notice recelved by the game war- den is as follows: It has lately deen discovered that there is a discrepancy between the law on “fishing in lakes and ponds” as printed In the public acts and as printed in our game laws. We have checked this up in the secretary of state’s office and find that the 1aw as given In the public acts is correct and the one, of course, to be followed. In the printed copy of *he bill, from which we revised our game law .book the sentence “The name of any person using any tip-up, bob or similar device shall be plainly marked thereon” was not struck out. This sentence was struck out by an amendment of the original act. NORWICH MEN I ALL-CONN.
