FOREMAN GIBSON RESIGNS

AFTER THIRTY-FIvE YEARS OF sERv-
ICE.-HAs BEEN IN CHARGE OF MO-
TIVE POWER IN BRIDGEPORT SINCE
1885.
The following item clipped from the
current issue of the Railroad EN-
ployee, a journal which is published at
Newark, N. j., by B. E. Chaplin and
devoted to the interest of all classes of
railroad men. The New England page
OF this journal is in charge OF Miss A.
A. Nolan OF this place: Another vet
eran of the Eastern railroad service
son of David Gibson of Bridgeport,
who has been with the New Haven
company for the past IS years, in the
motive power department.. Mr. Gibson
commenced his long railroad career
under the late Henry Kittendorf, who
for many years was master mechanic
at New Haven, in 1870, as machinist,
and, in March, 1885, he was promoted to
foreman for'the Naugatuck railroad at
Bridgeport, having charge Of all loco
motive repairs for that line. In 1888,
when the New Haven absorbed the
Naugatuck, he was retained and again
advanced, this time to the position of
general foreman, which place he has
just resigned. Mr. Gibson was a gen.
eral favorite with the employees OF the
company, and especially SO with the
engineers and firemen, who deeply re-
gretted to see him leave their midst.
Mr. Gibson was waited on by a delega-
t1On of yardmasterS, switching crews
and other motive power employees, who
presented him with beautiful French
clock mounted in solid onyx. The
presentation was made by former clerk
J. w. Oddie. Mr. Oddie said in part:
"Mr Gibson: Feeling that some token
other is always appreciated, and as we
have been fellow employees of the same
railroad company for long term of
years, we take pleasure in Offering this
slight token as recognition of our
continued esteem and friendship. Now
that you have passed from our i'm.
mediate fellowship out into the out
side world, we can only earnestly and
sincerely wish you happiness and more
past" The engineers, firemen and
others showed their appreciation in
the form Of gOld-mOunted pipe,
cigars, etc.

FROM AUSTIN WARNER OF VICKsBURG,
MISS.
Vicksburg, Miss, Mch. 2, 1905.
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Your cordial invita-
tion to join in the festivities incident
to the coming anniversary celebration
to hand and much appreciated.
AS usual, you are interested in a
good cause, one that commends itself,
and should prove the means of bring
ing many former Newcomers back to
their old home, to recall old times and
to see the changes that have taken
place in NewtOwn as we'll as each
other.
From your letters, and the long and
interesting journey you have recently
returned from, one would infer that
'Ttme had been dealing gently with
you."
Such celebrations and reunions are
beneficial and a pleasure to those at
tending, and no doubt the hospitality
of the good old town will be taxed to
the utmost.
With kind regards to Mrs johnson

Two Costly Hall Storms.

Last week the Rocky Ford country
had the unusual experience Of two bad
hail storms within three DAYS. The first
came very suddenly Thursday night
about eight O'Clock and covered wide
scope OF territory but was not equally
destructive in all localities. The heaviest
hail was along the central part Of the
valley. The eantaloupes. fruits and ten
der garden vegetation suffered worst.
Sugar beets which had attained fair siz
will doubtless come out all right being
only slightly delayed by the pounding
received.
The hail OF Saturday night struck the
southern end OF the irrigated country to
south. doing much damage. although tho
heaviest hail fell on tho range country TO
the south.
The orchards in the vicinity Of Rocky
Ford were hit hard. Senator Crowley
estimates the loss OF the Fairview or
ehards at $4,000. on which no has
S2zoo insurance. G. A.Jonos had sz2o
insurance and his loss will not DO nearly
covered by the insurance. -..
During the few weeks before tho hail
the insurance companies did large busi-
ness and il is hoped that they will have
the ability and willingness to mako pay
ment, In former years hail insurance
has been an uncertain quantity when the
payment OF losses was TO bo made. bu,
the outlook this year Is that tho Insurance
has been placed in reliable companies.
Tho two insurance companies operating
in Otoro county. represented by the Rocky
Ford Trading Co. and tho Farmers &
Merchants Bank. were both caught for
large amounts Of insurance. both having
issued many policies during the last few
weeks.

The natives of the West Coast Of
Africa have little need for wireless

by a missionary at the rooms of the

OF the susceptibility of the native
African to rythm he told this incl
dent: The Africa always calls the
people together by means of a drum.
me drum varies in size, but is always
made by following out section of q
log. The drum not only tells the peo.
pie OF the meeting, but its purpose as
well. The news which may be thus
sent Is astonishing. On che occasion
missionary was in the Palaver
House at Efulen, at some distance
from his home. A rainstorm came I'M
and ne had no umbrella. A drummer.
learning his need, tapped = message
TO a friend and in short time the
latter appeared with an umbrella. The
natives have no alphabet and an UNI.
brella is not usually in the require
ments of palaver. How. then did
the drummer make himself under.

eminent has to prohibit the use Of
drums as the natives are able with
them to send news from one village to
