 STAFFORD.
 pr. Harlan P. Allen of Columbus, Ohio, died at a New York hospital on the 2d inst under an operation for appendic- tis. He had been for some time suffer- ing from the ailment, but operation had been delayed, because an eminent spec ialist consulted there found no evi- dence of the existence of the suspected disorder Later, on going to the hospital in New York, the case was truly diag- nosed and an operation performed on Sat urday, April 27th, but the patient was then in too feeble condition to rally from it and died on the following Thursday. Dr. Allen was we'll known in Stafford. He was son of the late Edwin Allen of Brimfield, Mass, and his mother was a daughter of the late John Fuller of Staff ford. Born in Brimfield in 1856, he stud jed for medical practice with his uncle, Dr. c. B. Newton, of this village, grad uated at the New York College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons, and after two years of hospital practice further studied with Prof. Knapp, a specialist in treatment of eye, ear and throat diseases. Later he married Hattie Carroll of Rhinebeck, N. Y, who survives him. and removed to Columbus, Ohio, where he built up a large practice, and was chosen to fill a professorship in his chosen specialties in the Columbus Medical College. His un- cle, Dr. c. B. Newton, was called to New York, only to find him in a dying condi- tion. He was buried at Rhinebeck, N. Y, on Monday, one of the attendants at the funeral being his aunt, Mrs. c. l.. Dean, of Maiden, Mass. The absence of Sunday trains made it difficult for Stafford friends to reach Rhinebeck in time for the funeral.

 The contract for building the new Stafford Springs House has been given to Albert E.. Converse, and work of prepa- ton for building began on Tuesday, Sur veyor Fenton of Willimantic making the measurements.

The porte cOchere is omitted, also a story taken from the ell, leaving out the dance hall. There is much expression of satisfaction that the contract goes to Stafford builder.
