MAILING FORD.

meElueu SteIHS pouuu Hol to ue Out- done by Wallingford. A few weeks ago We had phenomenal sensational pub lie meeting in town hall and since that time our neighbors in Meriden have been getting into gear in the endeavor to equal, and go us one better, and now they have succeeded, or partly so, for Tuesday evening In the Silver City there was decidedly sensational meet ing in town hall that far exceeded in numbers at least the one held here and in rioting and disorder far eXcelled the example set by the borough. The futile attempt, after the Meriden meeting was adjourned, to hold an indignation meet ing, after the example set here, was a dismal failure, as three men on a table failed to get any sort of order into the mob and of course there could not be any third, or mass meeting, held the same evening, so Meriden is still in the rear as far as public meetings are concerned, but as they are to try again next week they may possibly equal Wallingfords shining example. Officer Dan Reilly found one of the lodgers in the tramp room Tuesday night had rather large bundle and as 1t looked suspicious the officer ex- amined it's contents and a spring over coat, collars, stockings, and other ar ticles almost new were found. The man, who gave his name as Smith, claimed the goods were given to him by student in New Haven. The coat was several sizes too large for the man. The officer telephoned to the chief of police in New Haven the facts of the case and received word to hold the man. Detective Gibson came up here yesterday morning and took the sus- pected thief to New Haven. Up to early last evening there had been no definite clue received as to the whereabouts of N. r. Ingraham's stolen trotter Belle. After leaving Stamford all trace of the horse thief seemed to be lost for a time. Yesterday Ingraham was in Yonkers, N. Y, and sent letter I from there home and later was at the Atlantic hotel in New York, where he said he should tsay until the last gun was fired. Deputy Sheriff w. A. Booth started for New York last evening to take in the horse sale and will join In- graham probably before he returns | home.
 | Superintendent Buckingham reports l that six of the inmates of the Masonic home are i'll, but none very seriously so The principal trouble is probably due to too much food and too little eX- ercise.
 l The advance sale of seats for Hoyt's | "A Contented Woman" promises to be | the largest on record. It is seldom I that Wallingford gets such a popular company, with the handsomest lady on | the American stage in its opera house and it is safe to say that there will be l but few empty seats on Saturday even- ing.
 Bart. Pagan came back yesterday ] from the Soldiers home in Noroton af-
 ter a stay of less than a week. His early return causes no surprise to those
 who know him best, as it is believed l that he would never be contented any
 where if he thought anyone wanted him | to stay there.
 Rev. w. w. Peck will conduct ser
 vices at the Masonic home Sunday | Skating is reported as good on Simp- sons pond.

 There was no inprovemnt in the con.
 dition of Mrs. B. A. Treat reported

 sidered extremely critical.

 several weeks ago. The present guar
 ters will at some future day be enlarged
