 Frank R. Lang, who has advertised himself as physician, and under whose treatment the child of. Herman Muller, of Centre St., died, as recorded last week, was on Saturday arrested at Staffordville by Sheriff Mullen. It will be remembered that the "Doctor'' had pulled several teeth for little child of Mullers, and that the child soon after the operation was taken with stupor and after several hours died, in spite of all efforts of Dr. Rafftery, who was called, Lang skipping when Dr. Rafftery said that the child would die. At the trial on Monday before the borough court, Chandler Judge, c. H. King appeared for the state and J. H.
 
 were as have been printed. Mrs. Muller testified that before the teeth drawing the doctor administered powder "the color of four, and looking like fine salt" Ali ter being alarmed at the child's condition he gave brown powder. He seemed to those present to have become helpless, scared and incapable by fright at the 'child's condition. Cause was found for holding him under $1 ,000 bonds for trial for manslaughter, in default of which he was taken to jail. Lang had advertised himself by circular in the German lan- guage as doctor. He is a Russian Jew, and the Mullers are German, none of them speaking or understanding English to any extent. Unfortunately no examination was made of the stomach of the dead child.
 For the first six months, after making complaint of the horrible condition of the Spring-st. bridge, people have been very patient over the neglect to fix it. How it will be for the balance of the year we are not prepared to say.
 The fourth annual reunion of the Chaffee family will be held at Evergreen Park on Wednesday, Aug. 7th. All con- nections of the family who see this notice are to consider themselves cordially in- vited. J. M. Chaffee, of Staffordville, is chairman of the committee of arrange ments.
 A considerable number of passengers went upon the Y. P. S. c. E. excursion last Thursday. The several places from which excursion tickets. were sold con- tributed such great crowds that some were left upon the dock at New London, the Block Island nevertheless sailing away with the heaviest passenger load she had ever carried. Most excursionists got off at Watch Hill, and those who went on to Block Island could not leave the boat owing to her very short stop there. The only bad incident of the day was the kill ing of a woman who was walking upon the track near Norwich, she being thrown by the locomotive against ledge at the roadside, so that the passengers were spared the horror of seeing the body mu- tilated or crushed.
 Examinations for entrance to the high school will be held at the school building on Saturday afternoon, Sept. Sd, at o'clock, examinations to be given in arithmetic, geography, U. s. history, spelling, and grammar.

Bagnall will be at the high school building on Saturday after noon, from 3 to o'clock, to meet such scholars as intend entering the borough schools the coming term.

 At the borough meeting last Thurs day it was voted to accept the new street on school house hill.,, In relation to the electric lights MT. Hicks, on behalf of the company, submitted the proposition to give the borough for $1200 per year IA arc and 27 incandescent lights 26 nights in the month, and until II o'clock. He ask ed that the meeting delay action for one week, giving all chance to consider the matter, the burgesses and Electric Light Co. meanwhile to confer together as to the matter of location. The idea was fa- vorably received by the meeting, and ad- journment made until this (Thursday) evening at o'clock. There are sections of the village still unlighted. Three ip- candescent lights are not as yet located, This number is deemed by the burgesses to be insufficient to supply the dark places, and it is proposed to avail of the offer of the company to substitute 10 additional incandescents for two arcs to be taken out, and perhaps it may be thought best to exchange yet another arc for five in- candescents. Under these plans the will lage can be most thoroughly illuminated. It is not unlikely that the railroad may be called upon to provide some lights made necessary by its crossings. If this is done the change of two arcs to incandes- cents will be amply sufficient.

 The School House
