FLAGMEN ARE NEEDED.

Committee on Railroads and Bridges
 Recommend Adoption of Donovan's
 Petition.
 The committee on railroads and bridges of the board of aldermen to whom was referred the petition of ex- Alderman Henry Donovan requiring the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad to furnish fiagmen at the crossings to the road at Argyle, Divi- sion, Thompson, Ivy and Brewster streets held hablic hearing last night in city hall to hear the citizens in fa- vor or opposed to the petition. About a dozen citizens from that section of the city in which those streets are located appeared before the commmittee and all were in favor of the petition, saying that the crossing were dangerous, cit ing incidents where lives have been lost on account of the lack of protection on the part of the railroad. There is nothing at the clossings mentioned to warn the people of approaching trains and as 8 result accidents are narrowly averted almost every day
 The hearing was a short one and in executive session the committee voted to recommend the adoption of the pe- tition.

AGED NEARLY 102 YEARS.

Mrs. Sylvia Langdon Durham of South
 ington.
 If her life is spared until the 27th, of the present month, Mrs Langdon Dunham of Queen street. Southington, will have reached the great age of 102 years and southington will have the honor of having among it's citizens the oldest woman in the state. Mrs. Dun ham was born in Southington, July 27th, 1900, and has spent her entire life there. She is the daughter of Captain Giles Langdon who served in the Con- tinental army. During her entire life she has been out of the state only once. This was in 1866, when she went to West Brookfield Mass, where her son Samuel Durham was stationed in charge of the Congregational church. In spite of her great age, Mrs Dunham is in remarkably good health and is in possession of her faculties to much greater extent than would be expected. She is able to be about the house the greater part of each day and evinces a
 
 ing the past winter she has had several short illnesses but is now in very good health and bids fair to pass not only her 102 birthday but her 103th. Mrs, Durham is a true daughter" of the Revolution and is member of Ruth Hart Chapter, D. A. R. She lives in the family of her son, Giles Durham. An other son is Rev. Samuel Durham of Binghampton, N. Y. It is not at all probable that there will be any large celebration of her birthday as the ex- citement of having many callers would be too great strain upon her strength. Mrs. Durham has seen in her long life the great progress of the country along every line of business. She has trav- elled by nearly every method from horseback through the periods of the stagecoach the canalboat to the more modern steam railways and electric roads. Shortly after her tooth birthday she took a ride around the half mile track at the driving park in one of the Columbia Electric Vehicle company's automobiles This was on the occasion of the fair in 1900 and was a sight that will be long be remembered by the hum dreds who were in attendance that day. Mrs. Durham is a member of the First Congregational church and although she has of late been unable to attend it's services, has lively interst in it's welfare.

LIKE A JAPANESE VILLAGE.
Savin Rock Illumination Scheme a Most
 Pleasing and Admired Feature.

Sayin Rock Illumination Scheme Most
 Pleasing and Admired Feature.
 Savin Rock last night was veritable village in Japan. While early in the evening showers threatened to destroy the decorations they passed off and left everything in fine order. Every one of the 1,400 or more incandescent lights that swung over the grove and park were encased in a gOrgeOusly cOlored Japanese lantern. and the beauty Of the scene was greatly enhanced. All day long six men were kept busy swing ing these lanterns and the result well repaid the management for the time, money and labor expended.
 This was the opening of the three nights festival and special illumina- tion. Tonight the theater too. will be decorated, and the lights that outline the casino and peristyle will all be in- creased in these lanterns. Red fire, too, will play a prominent part. and by an artistic use of this illuminant a most beautiful tableau will result.
 This scheme of using lanterns over the incandescent lights, apart from beautifying the surroundings, has a most pleasing effect upon the eye. ton ing down the brilliancy and reducing the trying rays of the electric lights.
 Tonight and tomorrow this illumirf- alton will be continued, and in addition Atwater's orchestra will present a pro- gramme of concert music, peculiarly ap- propriate to the occasion.

Here the witness laughed He picked up a stone and threw it at me, but I lodged it. 1 then picked up a stick"
 Did you hit him with club?" ask ed Attorney Charles H. Fowler, who appeared for Brown.
 T most certainly did"
 How many blows did you give him?"
 T didn't count them: I got in one while in the barn.
 Did you call Brown damn thief?" Il might have called him a thief" declared the witness; but I don't know as I called him a damn thief."
 MT. Fowler then asked Mrs. Tal- madge if she told her friend, Mrs. Jones' about the affair. Mrs. Talmadge replied: T don't tell Mrs. Jones any thing because she carries it all over the beach" Mrs. Talmadge then added that after dropping her stick she used her fists on MT. Brown.
 Mrs. Talmadge's mother. who is blind, testified that she heari no abus- i've language used by her daughter in the altercation with Mir. Brown.
 The defense opened in the afternoon and exhibited the club with which the assault is alleged to have been com mitted. The shillelah is about three feet long, five inches wide and three inches thick.
