MUCH BUSINESS AT
 NfANTlC TOLL BRIDGE.
Travel Over That Road Increased Since It Became Free-Low Construction Allows Very Few Boats to Pass.

The removal of the toll from the bridge over the Mantle river by the purchase of it by the state has in- creased the travel over that road. On the day it was taken over there were about twentyffv autos which crossed before the change was known, but thereafter there were one hundred or more who passed free. It is a beauti- ful drive through that section and the taking off of the toll will result in in- creased travel, as has already been shown thus soon.
 The bridge tender there is kept busy at this time of the year raising the draw. The bridge is built low and ,rly at very low tide can even a row boat or a lanch pass underneath. l. becomes necessary to do much work there in the summer time with the pleasure boats from Oswegatchie, the Spiritual camp ground and Golden Spur passing up and down the river. The county is obliged to maintain the bridge tender there and at this seaso.N his duties are not easy and he has long hours During last July alone the bridge was opened and closed 175 times. A record breaker is looked for this sea son.

FAIRER TREATMENT
To Be Demanded for Catholic Charges
 by Torrinaton Societies.

A movement is on foot among the Catholic organizations Of Torrington, says the Waterbury Republican, with a view to more liberal treatment on the part of both local and county au- thorities- of patients and charges who may be sent to institutions for treat- ment. It is understood that the plan was first discussed by the Ancient Orr der of Hibernians and that all the other Catholic organizations were found to be heartily in sympathy with such a proposition. The idea is to bring about legislation. if possible, whereby Catholic patients who may be sent away for treatment by the town authorities be admitted to such insti= tutions that, may be able to provide spiritual as well as physical treatment, And especially is the movement plans ned for children who may be admitted to the county home, which Is the Gil- bert home at Winsted It is the desire of the promoters that permission be se- cured whereby Catholic children at this institution may receive instructions in their own religion and that fitting ser vices may be held regularly for their benefit. Although the project Is yet in it's infancy, several committees have been appointed and it is expected that such bodies will soon be chosen by every Catholic organization in Torring- ton.

SAW TOM sHARkEY
 STRUCK IN THE FACE.
Men from This Section Were at Woonsocket at the Races on Friday Gentle Rebuke by Tom.

On Friday several from this section. including Charles Geary of Stafford Springs and one or two Norwich men, were at the races in -Woonsocket Among the men prominently known who had horses entered was Tom Shar- key, the well known pugllist Sharkey's horse, Klondike, failed to win, and the fighter lost his roll, but he took it like a sport and showed no signs of feel ing.
 At the station. as he was about to board the train, he gave his place to q woman, and in turn was about to get aboard when fellow tried to give him the elbow. Sharkey had the better of the elbowing, and the crowder went to one side, but came back with sting ing punch in the face, which marred Sharkey's face a bit.
 Laying down his grip, Sharl1ey grab bed that fellow by the neck with one hand and planted his right good and solid under his jaw, causing the fellow to wilt in his tracks. Rescuing him from his slump by the coat collar, Sharkey was about to repeat the dose, when friends interceded and Sharkey saw the folly of administering another punch and dropI,ed the fellow who med- dled with the wrong man.

SUNDAY OUTINGS.
Topic of Talk by Pastor of Congrega
 tonaI Church, WalIingford.


 Rev. Richard G. Woodbridge at the regular weekly prayer meeting at the church. Wallingford, on Wednesday evening took occasion to call attention to the manner in which Germans observed Sunday outings and held picnics. He said that at first con- sideration 1t seemed entirely wrong to hany that picnics should be held by them on the Sabbath. but there was a better side to considerable father, mother and children, in fact the whole family attended the outings and were together.
 MT. Woodbridge was talking on the subject Social Consciousness as Exer- cised in Recreation" He told of how he enjoyed hearing laughter and talk ing in houses as he passed, for he knew all were making merry, the whole family was together. He believed in observing every anniversary that came into ones life. He told of the thousands that visited baseball games and of the wonder that SO many per sons could find time and the where withal to follow their desires, but he sanctioned all kinds of honest reerea- tion. There was time, held the di- vine, when masters thought the longer hours a man worked the more could be produced by him. Times and thought had changed and now "all work and no play" etc. was the rule observed -Meriden Record.

POWER HOUSE DAMAGED BY STORM.
South Wndham Station Had Four Coils of Dynamo Burn
 ed Out-Troley Road Crippled.

q one passenger remarked: You could get off anywhere and beat the cars walking Because of the weak power the cars were not run into the center of Willlmantic, but only to the top or Jillson Hill, where the road dips down under the railroad trestle. Passengers were discharged at this point ana walked in the rest of the way to the center. If the cars had gone down the hill they would all have been stall ed in Willimantic, as they could never have climbed it again with the power available. After the lightning's worA the trip were, made in half an nouf longer than the usual time.
 The electric machine at the power house will have to be lacked up, taken out and rewound, which will propapiy be a three days job.
 Besides the damage done by the lightning to the trolley road, the ram washed the country roads badiy m many places, but there was no damage of any account to 1the roadbed Of the trolley road from the rain.

The electric storm and heavy rain that broke the drought north of this city Friday afternoon. but did not ex- tend to Norwich, put the South Wind ham power house of the Connecticut company out of business about o'clock in the afternoon, and 1t will be three or four days before 1t can be running again to supply power to that end of the line. Four coils were burned out in the dynamo with a great flash when the lightning came in and the machine had to be shut down in hurry to prevent further damage.
 This power house furnishes the elec- tricity for the trolley road between Baltic and Wiflimantic, and that sec ton of the road was helpless after the lightning had done its work until the current was switched on from the Thamesville power house in this city. The power secured from Thamesville, however, was only just enough to keep the cars crawling over the line, but it was the best that could be done. As

NO NEED OF ICE.
Valuable invention Patented by stann-
 ford Men.

T. c. Moseley and Henry Borg of Stamford, says the Advocate, have in- vented something that won't cause joy to the iceman. It is a metal container in which oysters. ice cream, milk or anything else. hot and cold. may be carried to any part of the world. with out it's temperature having changed from what it was when placed in the container
 The invention is the result of long experiments conducted, by MT. Borg, who is chemist and is one of the proprietors of the Borg drug store. and Mir. Moseley. who is metal expert. The principle is similar to that of the Thermos bottle. but until this inven- tion appeared there was no metal suit ed to the purpose. The holders are now being made in Chicago, and are in fair way to revolutionize certain lines of business
