FORESTERS MET
Talked of the Matter of Bringing
 in Lodge Physicians.

Committees representing the local courts of Foresters and the Ladies auxiliary, A. o. H., held meeting in Foresters' reading room last night and discussed the attitude of the medical fraternity. The meeting was largely attended. J. J. Mcdonald pre- sided and nearly everybody present had word to say in favor of secur, ing medical service at the present rates, even though it should be found necessary to bring in men from out of town. Already several reputable phy- sicians have been heard from who are willing to locate in Waterbury and do lodge work at the price refused by the Waterbury Medical society, but the meeting didn't think it advisable to reach any conclusion in hurry, and after discussing the pros and cons of the matter it was decided to leave the question open for couple of weeks more and in the meantime communicate with as many reputable physicians as possible and get their terms. Meetings will be held on and off between now and January 1 to hear what the special committee hav- ing this work in hand has to report. The lodge men are very confident of carrying their point. It appears from what was said that no trouble will be experienced in securing the ser vices of as many physicians as it may be necessary to have locate here and that they will be willing to work at a price which will enable the lodges to do business at the old plan and also minister to the needs of others at figure within the reach of men of modest means. Some of the speak CTS called things by their right names, but nothing was said derogatory to members of the local medical profes- sion, except that under the conditions which obtain in the labor market, medical attention for poor man and his family at the rates charged here by the physician and druggist is prac- tically out of the question and that in aiming to meet the situation the For esters were not only fighting their own battle, but also taking up that of every other man and woman in the community who has little or no wealth at his or her command. It was the unanimous opinion of the delegates that the interests of the societies which they represented demanded concert ed and speedy action in order to be ill shape to meet the new order of things.

BOYS BEFORE COURT
Broke Info South Leonard Street
 Store aud St0le Candy.

The store kept by Mrs Moore at 115 South Leonard street was broken into Sunday night, last, and four boxes of candy, valued at $4 were taken. About the same time freight car on the nearby track was broken into and quantity of goods, mostly canned milk, was taken. A day or two later Officer Peter Myers noticed that notwithstanding the high price of milk, people in South Brooklyn seemed to think it of no value, for the streets were full of it., cans of the article lying around everywhere. The officer traced the lacteal to a shed, and from thence to the bur glarized freight car. Then Detective Kennaugh got busy and he rounded up Henry Mastriana 15, Joseph Ci brian IT, Rudolph Berube 15, and Peter Smith 1T, and this quartette was before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day charged with theft of the candy above mentioned. During the court session, another young fellow named Frank Bowling was arrested on the same charge. The boys blam- ed each other for the breaking of Mrs MOore's store window, and it de- veloped that some of them had been in court before for trying to bust" the poor Standard oil company by running riot in that unfortunate com pany's premises alongside the rail- road track.
 Bowling was returned to the state school for boys, out of which he has been only seven months. Mastriano will accompany him, and so will Be- rube. Smith was bound over to the superior court under bail of $100 and Ciprian was fined $7 and costs. The complaint in his case was changed to theft. as he had no previous record.
 Felix Mcdonald, for intoxication was committed to jail for thirty days.

REAL SNOW STORM
Snow ShoveIers Out in Force on
 the Streets To-Day.

The first real snow storm of the present winter struck Waterbury to- day and while it made things in- convenient for the trolley company and steam railroad people, it was a God-send to men who look to that sort of thing for means of earring an honest dollar. Yesterday the town was full of ilde men, but to-day every able bodied man in the com munity who is able to shovel snow had all he could swing into. There was considerable drifting and .his prompted many to let the snow re- main where it pleased and get out and do their sidewalk cleaning when the storm ceases. The law does not force anybody to clear the walk while 1t is storming, but many turn ed out to-day and made an effort to improve walking conditions by hustling the beautiful" into the streets. The snow will make the liverymen happy and the boy who owns double ripper will be in his glory.

GerriSh.HerSey.

The social event of the week among
the people of Bu6kfield was the marriage
of two of her most popular and respect
ed young people-Mr. Benjamin Z. Ger
IRISH and Miss Fannie A. Hersey-both
for many years residents of this village.
In the absence from home of the local
pastor whom they intended to call to
their service, the contracting parties
took a carriage drive to South Paris
Thursday afternoon where they were
married by the Rev. A. K. Baldwin of
the Congregational church.
Mr.. Gerrish is one of our most active
and successful business men, while his
bride has been for many years prominent
in the circles in which she moved. For
several years she was assistant post
mistress where she formed wide &C
quaintance and became very fayorably
known. She is also member of the
auartette which has furnished music for
many occasions. An embarrassing event
of the occasion was the sudden death of
the father of the groom. He passed
away Just as the plans of the wedding
were completed. 1t was thought best
and advisable however to carry out the
plans which they did. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gerrish will go on short bridal tour
later, after which they will return to
their beautiful home on High Street,
where for several years Mr.. Gerrish has
resided. They have the good wishes and
congratulations of their large circle OF
friends.

Killed by cavs.In Of Bank.
HAROLD FUTILE, TWELVE YEARS OLD,
sMOTHERED LAST TUESDAY.

Il
Harold Tuttle, the 12-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Horace D. Tuttle OF the
Whittemore District, Paris. was killed by
the cave-in Of bank last Tuesday night,
though his body was not found until the
next morning.
The boys in the Whittemore school
had dug out hole in the sandy Dank
near the school house, 10 which they
were in the habit of playing. There was
rather small opening, but back of the
entrance they had sco0ped out q cave so
that two or three of them could squeeze
in.
Tuesday night Harold did not appear
after school at the home of his parents,
which is a short distance west of the
school house. An older brother of his
was at work with team at Mr.. Law
rence's, about mile and half from the
school house in the opposite direction,
and as there had been some talk about
Harold going there, it was supposed that
he had gone home with the Lawrence
boys, and no uneasiness was felt about
him.
Wednesday morning when the children
went to school, Harold was not there,
and the Lawrence boys had not seen him
since school closed the night before. A
younger brother of Harold then re-
membered going with him toward the
bank after school. Immediate search at
the cave revealed the fact that the earth
had fallen in on the boy and killed him.
The depth of earth over the boy was
not more than twelve or fifteen inches,
and if there had been any one with him
he would in all probability have been
rescued. Indeed, it seems as if he would
have been ableAo throw it off by his own
exertions if it had not smothered him too
quickly to give him opportunity.
Coroner William j. Wheeler of South
Paris was summoned, but considered an
inquest unnecessary.

one who sat down to dinner. The dinner

postponed until the June meeting, which
will be held at Buckfield June ed.

veterinary from Somelville. Mass, gave
q talk on the anatomy OF tho foot and
