PUTNAM A dance number ‘that is entitled After the Rain, might have been appropriateiy played Monday in thanksgiving for ths escape of this territory from being utter- 1y drowned out in the hear-deluge of the night before. The storm tore out a railroad embank- ment and washed the materia] down onto Front street, burying the trolley tracks that run under the railroad bridze at that point and gullied city streets and country highways in towns all about. It flattened out standing corn until fields of it had the appearance of having beea mowed. It put the telephone service nn- der' more or less of a handicap throuza lines knocked out of service. It say the means of delayiny train service :o some extent during Monday and of in- terrupting trolley service on some D of the Putnam division for a time Su day evening. Numbers of .gardens in low-lying sections of the city were un- der .water Monday morning. The .storm that broke. soon-after the coming of darkness Sunday evening and continued ‘into the smail hours of Monday morning was unusual not only for its torrential rain, but also because .of the longth of time it endured. Accom- panied by vivid lightning, the stormr an- palled many, Traffic of all kinds was hampered by the .storm and only the hardiest of motorists took the chance cf procesding along the state highways, as drivers had' great difficulty in foliowinz the roads during the storm, rain falling 5o fast that it was next to impossible o see any distance through a windshield, {even, those protected with cleaners. In Pomfret, lightning caused the deaih of three cows. Limbs wereé torn from trees and in some cases wires were knocked down by the fury of the storm. A locomotive having been obtained (o haul the work train that operates out of this city, the train went back in sel vice ‘Monday, doing away wih the. ar- rangement of having the men who work with the train go northward to thoir work on an early morning passenger train, as has been the rule during the past week. It was stated Monday for:- noon that some of the men who left their jobs with the train and went on striks reurned to work Monday, but the ma- jority of the 38 who-went on strike ara still out. Residents of this city learned Mon- day with regret of the death at Guii- ford of Katherine Ward Leete, wife of Frederick W. Seward of this city. Mrs. Seward had been seriously 1l for somd time past and her condition had b:en eritical for more than a week. Mrs. Seward was born in Guilford, daughter of Edwin A. and Mary (Leete) - Leete; her father being a Tesentative of one of the ploneer fami- lies in'that section of the state, the an- cestral record dating back tb earliest co lonial days. Her marriage with M. Seward was on November 26, 1885. In 1890 Mr. and Mrs. Seward came to this city to reside and since have made their home here, Mr. Seward being one of th» clty's ‘well known business men. Fou children ‘were born of their marriags, Ethel, born in Guilford, who died in infancy: Clayton Leete, who was born in Guilford in 1888 and died in this city in 1917; Dr. Lee Sanford Seward, bora in Guilford, now. practicing medicine in California, ‘and Mrs. Katherine Lown, wife of Arthur D, Lown, a resident of this"clt: @ s. Seward was one of the active and prominent workers of the Second Con- gregational church of Putnam. Monday morning the funeral of Mrs. Elizabeth Park Fallon, wife of John Fallon, was-held from the: home of ‘er mother. Mrs. D. C. Park, in the Saw- yer district. ‘At St. Mary’s church at 9.30 o'clock, Rev. Charles M. Bedard was c3l- ebrant of the high mass of requiem. The service was attended by many relatives and friends. Burial was in Grove Stroet where the committal service was conducted by Rev. Fr. Bedard. The bearers were Edward W. Mullan, James H. Rafferty, Walter J. Bartlett, John . McGarry, Dr. Harry A. Houghten and ‘Winfield Houghton. At St. Mary’s church Monday morning at 9 o'clock, there was a marriage and nuptial mass, Miss Blanche Bernier be- coming the bride of Henrl LaBante. The marriags was performed by Rev. U. ©O. Bellerose of Taftville and he was celebrant of the nuptial mass. which was attended by relatives of both families and a number of friends. The father of the bride and father of the groom were the witnesses for the bridal couple. TUp to Monday 111 shares of the fonr- teenth serfes of the Putnam Buildiaz and Loan associatfor's shares had been subscribed, the majority of the new is sue being taken by holders of prior is- ssue. No spectal effort is-beirg made at thia_ time ko foost subscriptiond, but shares are being taken by members of the association who have learned from past experience the worth of the Invesi- ment afforded. Owing, it was sald. to washouts that traine from ‘that division were being operatel j through this city during the early hours of Monday. The morning newspaper and mail . train from New London for this Ity and Worcester arrived here about two and one-half hours late. On the Rhode Island side of the Ch: pachet route to Providence the Rnode [ land state highway department has ua- dertaken the work of widening this much traveled highway, which is s0 narrow .n some ‘places as to make the passing of even two large touring cars some- what dangerous unless care and skiil is. exercised by drivers. It was stated here Monday that it is probable that this entire route will have been widentad within & year or two 8o as to-make the route more suitable for handling the heavy amount of traffic now passing over it every day throughout the yeor State Treasurer ' G.

Waish ran to the assistance of an aged mar who was being run away with by a frightened horse in Pomfret in Novem- ber, 1921, and after rescuing the ea- dangered and injured man from a peri'- ous position- administered first Walsh at that time was working wit1 a crew operating out of this city. Weather permitting, there is to be another Chamber of Commerce opén an: band concerts in Union square tomorrow (Wednesday) evening. This will be tha second in a series of concerts arrangel by the chamber for the summer pericd. Several hundred boys and girls who are in summer camps in territory he abouts have had the interesting exp: ence of watching sgevere thunderstorms during the past 48 hours, Not all cf the young people escaped without feeling a bit creepy during the storms, whicn fortunately did them no serious harm. At Woodstock and Pomfret, where the ice storm of late November, 1921, -seri- ously damaged scores of beautiful shade trees and ruined many fruit trees, the summer's follage has in large measure covered the scars, and it mow appears that the trees in most instances will be as beautiful as -ever within a few years. Axel Maim, thirty years ago a resi- dent of Putnam; and whose father at that time ran the Putmam gas house, called on Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Cut- ler, of Oak Hill, Sunday. Mr. Curler and Mr. Malm were chums and attended school together when the Malm family made its home in this city. Mr. Mala now resides in Cleveland, and is pur- chasing _agent for a large concern there. Business brought him to this part of the country, and he took the opportuni- ty of looking up his boyhood friend. On reaching Putnam Mr. Malm first made & visit to the gas house, walking down the railroad tracks as he had done as a bay- It seemed much like old times, he said, but distances have grown short- er,as he has grown older, and the jaunt from Unfon Square to the gas works no longer seems the miles that it usad to scem as he trudged it to join his tather, and play around the big tanks, as a youth, Putnsm baseball ‘fans had thrill cn thrill piled up Sunday afternoon when | the Nightingale-Morse basehall team took the measure of the Worcester, Mass,, Collegians and sent them back to the Bay State, defeated, 7 to 4. This evens things up between the two ‘teams, for three weeks ago the Collegians came to Putnam and in a ten inning affair seat the Nightingales to the -locker room nn the small end of a 11 to 10 acore. At that time, the locals insisted that they had been off tune and that: luck was against them in the breaks. Sunday's game seems fo substantiate this, for in every respect they ontplayed their form- er conquerors. At the plate, Putmam hit- nicked Lamotte, who was on. the nd_ for Worcester, for twelve sato- g bases they ran riot and stole second: ai- most at will, for early in the game they, found that McGfilicudy had a weak right arm, and could not make the toss. that prevented stealing. A double -steal by Carey and Maher in the fifth paved tns way for two runs on a hit by Faucher, and these two runs enabled the Nightin- gales to come from behind and gain a one run lead. This lead was very short held, however, and it was not un- til the eighth that the game was safe- ly won. The most spectacular play of the a ernoon, if not the most spectacular piav thus far this season, came in the eighrh. ‘when Nelson on third, with one out, and the visitors a run to the good, staited. for home as Lamotte delivered the bali He reached the plate and siid, as Um- pire Farley called him safe. It was as daring as it was brilliant. The Wor- cester players immediately began to question ‘the decision, and rushed to the plate where they crowded around umpire. Farley stuck fast to his -e. cision, and sent the Collegians back to the fleld. They went with some rel tance. Putnam then scored two addi- tional runs, as if to convince their op. vonents that they did mot stand in need of close decisions in order to win the game. The two runs that clinched the game crossed over as the result of a doubi from Auger's bat. It was his secon hit of the game. Auger has been fie.d- ing in good form all season, but he his not registered a safety in R, sk MBcate that His work Sunday seems to his batting eye has been recovered. Cap- tain Faucher pounded three singles, one of which, in the eighth, started. the rai- Iy that gave the game to the Nightin- gales, Boulay, at first for Putnam, con- nected for two doubles and a single, and scored one of the Putnam tallies.

Boulay was caught trying to reach the plate in the fourth when he’came from second on Tetreault's hit to center. Duif made a perfect throw to MeGillicudy, and the Putnam runner was easily nip- ped.
