LARGE FIRE IN BRISTOL.
The Il. N. Welch Clock Company Burned
Mt


Bristol, Conn.,, March 1.-THE "Move-
ment" works of the E. N. Welch Clock
Manufacturing company occupying a
five-story frame building, were entire
ly destroyed by fire this afternoon. The
money loss will aggregate nearly $780,
900, on which there is an insurance of
about $4,000.
The fire originated on the first floor
in the dipping room, and spread with
such rapidity that it drove the employees
from their benches without giving them
time to save even their wearing appar-
ell and it was necessary to rescue en-
ployes on the second floor by means
of ladders, and many had to be taken
out through windows.
The fire department of the village
consisted of a single steamer, and that
being wholly inadequate to cope with
the fire assistance was asked for from
Bristol, and steamer and one hose
wagon was sent down, but before their
arrival the building was a mass of
smoking ruins and the flames had COM
municated and burned a two-story
frame building near by owned by Mrs
Mary Fox, and occupied by Levi S.
Sloane as a saloon. The loss to E. N.
WEIGH company is estimated at $4S, 900;
insurance $36,5O0, dividend among fif-
teen companies; Sloane's loss is 81 900,
insurance $500, Mrs Mary Fox loss
$1,000; insurance $500.

THE BABY JOHN BROWN KISSED.
Henry P. Goddard Claims Story is Only
a Pretty Romance

| Henry P. Goddard Claims Story is Only
a Pretty Romance.
Concerning the story recently pub
lished in the Springfield Republican of
a certain Owen Carter, who claims to
be the negro child kissed by John
Brown on his way to his execution
Henry P, Goddard, formerly of the edi-
torial staff of the Norwich Bulletin
writes the Republican and encloses a
letter from a Charlestown, w. Va, gen.
tleman who characterizes the story as
the production of the fertile imagina-
ton of sentimental newspaper CORE
spondent, who either has no regard for
the truth of history, or is woefully de-
ficient in information"
Mr.. Goddards letter is as follows:
In recent issue of the Republican
was published an article from a Mr..
Hiss-presumably of Baltimore-pur-
porting to give the history and a pho
tographic picture (reproduced) of one
owen Carter of Charlestown, W. Va.
This article asserted that Owen Carter
was the veritable negro child kissed by
John Brown just before his execution
in 1859. AS I have always been interest
ed in the John Brown story, and had
been for nearly eighteen years familiar
with the historic localities in and about
Charlestown and Harper's Ferry, in
which his life work ended, I was as
founded at some of the statements in
the article, especially as long since
ceased to believe the pretty story of
his kissing a colored child on his way
to execution.
After reading the article referred to
l sent it to G. Frank Gallaher, one of
the best known and most highly re-
spected citizens Of Charlestown, gen.
tleman who served in the confederate
army throughout the civil war, but who
is as unprecedented and fair-minded a
man as I have the pleasure of knowing.
I enclose you copy of his reply, which,
as you see, shows that the statement
published by Mr.. Hiss is without solid
foundation, and only a pretty romance.
If that gentleman can produce author-
ties to fortify his original statement,
should be very glad to have do so.

| Hartford, March 17.-Henry L. Good
win of East Hartford died of pneumo-
mia at his home at 2:55 this morning.
| Mr.. Goodwin was stricken while in the
| hall of the house of representatives
last week Friday, having a fainting fit
from which he recovered in about half
an hour, so as to be taken to his home.
Pneumonia developed and Mr.. Good
win failed rapidly principally because
Of his feeble condition and advanced
age
Henry Leavitt Goodwin was born in
Litchfield November 25 1921, son Of
Oliver Goodwin, native of Hartford,
and his wife, Clarlssa Leavitt of Beth
lehem, Litchfeld county. Henry began
his business career as bookkeeper for
his uncle, who was in the paint bust
ness in Brooklyn, N. Y. Upon the dis
covery of gold in California he joined
the pioneers and established shortly
after his arrival in the mining regions
a letter post or pony express for carry
ing letters and messages from one
camp to another, and in this was very
successful, making some money The
government, however, put an end to the
profit of this private letter carrying
and took the mail service into its own
hands. Mr.. Goodwin was then inter
ested in a system of water supply for
miners camps, and in this he was also
successful. He did not remain on the
coast a great many years, but returned
to Connecticut His father was man
of competence, and had retired from
business, and Mr.. Goodwin did not in
terest himself in any particular bust
ness.
He took up his residence in East
Hartford in 1862 but had never carried
on business there, except to engage in
what farming was necessary to keep a
small place in condition. He married
Susan Leavitt Goodwin. July 80, 1878.
She died the following April. There
were no children. Mr.. Goodwin was
elected to the general assembly from
East Hartford for the years 1871, 1872
and 1874, For many years Mr. Good
win has been best known by his ap-
pearance before successive legislative
committees and at meetings of the
stockholders of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad company,
pointing out what he thought were de-
linquencies in the management of the
finances of the road, in it's bookkeeping
and in its returns to the state for taxa

CENTERVILLE CHURCH.

Rev. Mr.. Bean, rector of the Episco-
nal church in Centerville, said vester-
day. when seen, that his conduct had
not been investigated He said the
church had never been so prosperous
al it is now, and that the parish never
before had kept a rector over nine
months in office. He said that the call
of the two clergymen, Rev. Messrs
Morgan and Beardsley of this city, by
the bishop, was merely to adjust the
affairs of the church and set them right
before he left. He described the parish
as turbulent and fault-fndipg, and said
that no charges had ever been brought
against him for any reason. Mr.. Bean
is supported by several in the parish,
who say that the trouble lies in the de-
sire of a few men to run the church
regardless of the minister.

IN STINC
Boy Knows the Kind of Food He
Needs.

Needs.
A grocer in the suburbs of Chicago
has a son about six years old who has
been kept in the country with an aunt
a goodly part of the time, owing to his
puny, half lifeless condition.
This last summer when the little
chan returned home. he was round, fat
and hearty, but when he sat down to
his fathers table, he refused the meat
and potatoes, and demanded Grape
Nuts, the ready cooked food.
The grocer knew about Grape Nuts,
and had been selling them over his
counter but it never occurred to him
to use them at his own table. 1t was
found upon inquiry tina tthe boy began
to improve as soon as he was put on
Grape Nuts by his aunty, and that the
evidence of the value of the food was
shown by his condition.
1t is needless to say the grocer sup
plisd Grape Nuts to his little boy, with
out further question, and the entire
family have not joined the Grape Nuts
army.
