Trade could be aroused and inspired

has so often been mooted, this great
lumber plant might be secured for this
place.

Preparations are now being made by
Assistant Quartermaster General Mor~
gan for the annual encampment of the
National Guard. As the brigade will
be in camp eight days this year, it has
been necessary to arrange a new sched-
ule of transportation. This is being
done and will entail considerable work
upon the department. There will be a
number of changes in the next camp,

onel Morgan will send‘a gang of men
down to Niantic, July 22, to put the
grounds in order.

oldest woman in Connecticut. died at
her home in New Haven on Monday.

ent health, being able to walk unas-
sisted and to read without glasses. She
was born in Wallingford, and lived
there all her life until the death of her

Haven. She was one of the few people
living who had seen Lafayette and
other Revolutionary dignitaries.

 

The Dr. IV. H. Baldwin and Stanley
marriage Monday at thevFirst Con-

a delightful affair. The happy pair

tian Endeavor excursion to Minneapo-
lis. Thither Father Stanley express‘
ed both their wheels last evening and
they will be on hand there for them to

ulations. '

the Uhion Gospel Temperance Reform
association Tuesday evening, three prin-
cipal offices were filled for the ensuing
six months by the re-election of Joseph
Miller, President; E. Beacom, Secre-
tary; H. D. Lees, Treasurer. The As-
sociation is in better financial condi-
tion than at the beginning of the last

term, and the present outlook augurs ‘

still greater progress in this direction
as well as greater reformative results.
It was also voted to return to the old
custom of opening the Sunday after-
noon meetings at 3 o’clock instead of
3.30 as at present.

Shot Himself.

Charles Miller, a wealthy resident of
White Oak Shade just above West Nor-
walk, shot himself in’ the mouth at 3
a. m. Thursday. Miller, it is said,
has been drinking quite freely of late
and it is supposed that this is the cause
of his rash act. Dr. Bronson of New
Canaan was sent for and found that the
bullet entered his mouth coming out at
the back Of his head, and that there is
no chance Of his recovery. Miller, it
is reported, came from the Black Hills
some time ago and settled at White Oak
Shade. ' "

 

Col, Roberts’ School.
Col. Roberts has been busily at work

every moment since the vacation ofhis .

school in a general renovating, of his
He has
had his buildings and? grounds cleared
up, the students’ bed-rooms thoroughly
overhauled, their beds and bedding
renovated and replenished and every-
thing done possible to make their quar-
ters fresh, tidy, cheerful and. healthy
for the occupancy Of his students on
their return for the fall term. This
school is one of the educational institu-
tions of our town that gives Norwalk a
distinct pre—eminence.

Patriarchs Militant.
The state board Patriarch Militant,
First regiment, has elected George M.

Redway of Hartford colonel, and Frank

W. Tracy Of Norwich lieutenant-colo-
nel of the regiment. William Ridley
was elected major Of the second battal-
ion, and William Pendleton was elected
major of the third battalion. The state
parade, which is to be held in Meriden
in October, will probably call together
more men than any previous occasion
of the kind.

with G. A. Franke. by which the latter
exchanges his present residence on
