a line musical program,
The lecture was by H. C. Knight.

‘ ern‘ New England Telephone Company.
and the stereopticon work was done by
H. I. Spalding. manager of the Middle-
town exchange. ,

A large curtain was hung in the par.
lore of theclub for the stereopticon
views. and shortly after 8 o'clock the
lecture commenced. Mr_ Knight we
faced his talk with a few words of in-
troduction. stating the reasons for the
delivery of *the lecture—namely. that
people might understand some of the
difficulties which have to be overcome
before a practical telephone service
can be given. He spoke of the tele-
phone as’ being the broadening of one
of the human senses so that it prac-
tically‘euminates space, and berated
it in importance as a convenience with
the clock whidh hangs upon the wall,
prophesying that in time it would be-
come universal.

ed how they slart'ht some lonely farm
house with a single pair of wires and
gradually carry a greater and greater
burden until they take the form of an
serial cable or an underground cable
and are thus conducted to the central
office. .
The little cable boxes were then
explained. they forming the connect

showing the details of their construc-
toln and the work of laying them.
Some of the difficulties of laying a
submarine cable brought a jest on- the
‘part of the speaker which caused
laughter to the many listeners. A pic-

Board of Estimate and Tax:
alien *
An important movement has just
started to bring about a radical change
in the selectmen's methods of doing
business. The plan is to have a
Board of‘lilstlmate and Taxation. whose
duty it shall be to prepare estimates
of the cost of doing business in each
separate department of the town gov-
ernment a forthcoming year. This is
a similar plan as that carried out in
the government of both the Clio' of
Norwalk and the City of South Nor-
walk.-the town government of Bridge-
port, Danbury and other places.
Those who have planned the cam-
paign believe that in this manner the
Town of Norwalk can conduct its at-
fairs on a much better business basis
than under the present method, which
gives the selectmen a lump sum to
conduct all of the business. irrespec-
tive of departments.
A petition is now being circulated.
requesting the selectmen to call a town
meeting. whose business shall he to ap-
- , minnow cannot-0:10 eraser
re the new legislature and request
that body to institute a Board of Es-
timate and Taxation, as mentioned.
The petition reads as follows. to-
gether with the names that appeared
on it this morning:
To the Selectmen of the Town oi Nor-
walk.
Gentlemen: '
We. the undersigned, electors and
residents of the Town of Norwalir, do
hereby request you to call a special
town meeting for the purpose of up
pointing a suitable 'commlttee to ap
pear before the incoming legislature
at Hartford and ask for such proper
legislative action as may be necessary
to institute a Board of Estimate and
Taxation. for the Town of Norwaik.
which Board shall serve without pay,
and be of a nonpartisan character.
and to take any other action in pur-
suance of the aforesaid purpose as the
meeting may deem proper.

LETWTSTON, Me.,-Dec. 7.-—Four peo-
ple were killed and three others ser-
iously injured in a head-on collision
between a special and a regular
freight train on the Maine Central Rall-
road near the small station of Anna-
bessacook late last night. The wreck
was said to be due to a. misunderstand-
ing of orders. ‘Both trains were going
so fast when they met that eight of
the thirteen cars of the special were
buried over the engine and demolished
with the greater part of the contents.
The track was blocked for hours.
The dead: ' ‘

caboose with two of his brakenlen and
beyond a shaking up and minor
wounds. escaped unharmed, as did Con-
ductor Hurgraves. in charge of the
regular, who was in his caboose. ,
Owing to,the late hour which the
accident occurred all the telephone and
telegraph offices in the vicinity were
closed and great difficulty was exper-
ienced in getting word throudl to this
city for help. Tile survivors rallied
from the sudden shock of the cam
tmphe when they saw its extent and
worked desperately to reach their oohi-
radsa imprisoned ‘. beneath, the, wreck:

seals that bad stricken

taken from his cab alive and lingered
until several hours into the morning.
when he succumbed. Engineer
Fletcher was also practically burned
to death. but it could not be told
whether the others had been killed
outright or died before aid leached
them. As soon as wrecking crews and
physicians could reach the scene, ar»
rangements were made to carry the
wounded some to lAWISTOYI and some
to Portland. ‘
The indescribable confusion of the
wreckage beneath which were the im-‘
prisoned men. caused the work of res-
cue to proceed slowly.
Fireman Budget. of the special, was
wedged so tightly between the engine
and leader that it was impossible to
remove him. it was hoped that his
wounds had rendered him unconscious
at the first impact for the live coals
of his machine slowly roasted his head
to a crisp.
Fireman Freeman managed to jump
from the cab before the trains met.
but a mass of lumber from a freight
car landed on him. crushing one arm
and otherwise bruising him. Thelma
any that while he must lose his arm
for the entire length he will probably
survive.

Have the New Canaan Thief
~Iiubovlcli (leis One in Four
Years in Slate Prison
———.—.
Joseph Mendocno. a dapper looking
young man of slightly foreign and at~
tructive appearance, was put to piss
in the criminal superior court. Brid-
geport. yesterday morning, upon a
charge of burglarizing the New Can-
aan residence of Mrs.,Catherine A.
Bliss. wife of the Hon. Cornelius Bliss,
of New York. about 1 o'clock on the
morning of July 20.
Mendiclno pleaded not guilty to the
charge. and after stating in response
to a question, that he was over 21
years of age. he was led downstairs
again to a. cell.
That the man suspected of having
stripped the Bliss residence at New
Canaan of jewelry. valuables and men.
ey. worth from $15,000 to 320.000 had
been captured. has not been generally
known. in fact Mendocino has been
at the jail for about a month charged
with burglary but the specific charge
against hi. i was not received until to-
day.
Cornelius Bliss who is treasurer of
the Republican National committee re‘
aides in New York city and has a
summer home at New Canaan. When
his home was robbed last. July and his
wife‘s jewelr taken it created a son-
sation. Pinko on detectives were im-
mediately placed upon the case and
they finally landed upon Mendicino In
New York city. They believe that
they can convict him of the burglary.
Few particulars of the case could be
learned this morning but it is expect-
ed that it will be taken up in a few
days. Attorney Frederick A. Bartlett
has been retained as counsel for the
accused.
Frank Riley. aged nineteen who had
four counts of burglary. charged again-
st him changed his plea to guilty and
Judge Ralph Wheeler gave him a new
iencc front one In three years in the
state prison. All the burglaries were
committed in Bridgeport on October A
and 5. and when Riley entered the
dwelling houses of Walter Chapman.
Hanlnah Swenon, Mary H. Trent and
William Baldwin. .
Richard Allen, Riley's pal. aged 18.
also changed his plea to guilty of en--
loving the house of Mary H. Treat and
l off with one year In jail. Both
c aimed to belong in Boston.
Stephen Kubovlc. who was found
guilty by the jury yesterday of assault
with Intent to murder Chrialopher Fay
at Norwalk on November 24, received
thc maximum sentence of four years
and the minimum of one year In ‘the
state prison. '
Matthew Reynolds got four months
In jail for stealing a pockclbooll from

The annual report of County Health
Oillcer George E. Hill. was filed today
and Mr. Hill in his report makes m'finy
recommendations for the better pro

county. Among his suggestions is one
for the adequate protection of public

Mr. Hill suggests that the statutes
he as amended that proceedings anal-
ogous to condemnation proceedings
might be lnstltuted by the owner of

water companies or by the Health All-
thoritles so that upon the finding of
a preliminary court that. the public
health requires that such property be
owned by the owner of the water sup-
ply. condemnation should follow in the
usual manner prescribed.
The report goes on to say that there
has been considerable detail work-dur;

been of a routine character described
