NEW TAFTvlLLE RESERVOIR
 IS BEING CONSTRUCTED
Will Hold 50 Million GalIons-Progress on Big Weave Shed, Cellars for More Dwellings and Velvet Mill Ad- ditions.

Work was started this week by Con- tractor Archibald Torrance on the new reservoir for the Ponemah company at Taftville, which is to be located on the stanton farm on the Canterbury turn pike. The dam to be constructed will be 300 feet long and 34 feet high. It will be of stone construction, with a core of concrete, and of ample strength to hold back the 50,000, 900 or more gallons of water that it is estimated the reservoir will be able to hold. The basin of the reservoir will occupy a space of several acres and the floor of this basin must be put in good condition. The land where the basin is to be located is not level, and there is much excavating to be done, with considerable blasting. Six months of good weather, however, will find the job nearing completion. There are about thirty men at work on the res eryoir, with two hoisting engines, two derricks and a stone crusher, besides smaller equipment. Some brush re- mains to be cut.
 Three of the 15 cellars which MT. Torrance has also contracted to build for the Ponemah company have been completed on Norwich avenue in the rear of the present TOW of tenement houses The retaining wall here has now been moved forward distance of IS feet for about half it's length and gangs are at work on the remaining cellars. where blasting is going on. The contract for the woodwork for the 15 houses has not yet been awarded. 1t is understood.
 The two large additions to the vel vet mill of the J. B. Martin company are being rushed by Contractor Tor rance. Foreman Edward J. Sullivan is in charge of the men who are at work on the south addition, which is to be SIP feet long and S7 feet wide, two stories high, and will contain the offices and storehouse.
 The offices will be in a section 100 feet long nearest to the river. having a cellar underneath. There will be no cellar under the rest of the building, but 3S piers of concrete, each II feet deep and two feet by three, will be built to support the floor timbers. About half of these are now in. The foundation wall. 8 feet high, has been completed, and the brickwork has been started. The road has been moved south and the telephone poles shifted and when completed it will be 46 feet wide, with a concrete walk feet wide next to the mill.
 The addition to the weave shed of the Ponemah mill is about half done, the brick work being pp on two sides. The frame for the roof, of 10 by IA timbers, is partly up. with posts sup ported on concrete piers. A saw-tooth roof will be put on. and a concrete floor laid. This addition is 66 feet by 133.

 INJURED AT PLAINFIELD.
James Clark of New London Knocked
 Down by Another Train.

James Clark of Al Winthrop street. New London, a conductor in the freight service of the New Haven rail- road was painfully bruised Tuesday morning when he was knocked down by a freight train and under the cars, although the wheels of the train did not pass oyer the victim. Clark was taken to New London and admitted to Memorial hospital At the institution 1t was said that Clark's injuries con- sisted of severe contusions. It was at first believed that he was injured in vternally.
 Clark left Midway in charge of a local freight train bound for Worces- ter. At Plainfield cars were to be dropped from the trai1 and while the switching was in progress Clark stood in the middle of a track parallel with that on which his train was working As he did so a Providence division local freight train also doing switching duty backed down upon Clark. The con ductor was felled, but luckily his body landed between the rails and not across them.
 The brake rigging of the car caused Clark to be dragged a considerable dis tance before stop could be made. When extricated from beneath the car Clark was suffering great pain from the bruised condition of the body and legs.

SOME HARD KNOCKS Woman Gets Rid of Coffee Heart

The injurious action of Coffee on the heart of many persons is well known by physicians to be caused by caffeine. This is the drug found by chemists in coffee and tea. A woman suffered a long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up cof- fee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes:
 My heart was so weak it could not do it's work properly My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would seem that would never breathe again.
 The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart. He said I must stop it. but it seemed could not give it up until I was down in bed with nervous prostra- ton.
 For eleven weeks I lay there and suffered. Finally Husband brought home some Postum and I quit coffee and started new and right Slowly l got we'll Now I do not have any headaches, nor those spells with weak heart. We know it is Postum that helped me. The Dr. said the other day, I never thought you would be what you are ] used to weigh 92 pounds and now I weight 15S.
 "Postum has done much for me and I would not go back to coffee again for any money for 1 believe it would kill me if I kept at it, Postum must be well boiled according to df- rections on pkg then 1t has a rich fiavour and with cream is fine.

Students Entertained.

On Friday evening the sophomore
and junior classes of the high school
awaited themselves of an invitation
extended by Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
ROCKFORD of Greenbush to spend the
evening at their home. In consequence
of the disagreeable weather many of
the pupils decided to remain at home,
but there were about twenty five in the
party, together with their teachers.
They we're driven to the ROCKFORD
home by Thomas Kaliher and on the
way had a very merry time. The
party did not reach it's destination
until 10 O'Clock, after Mr.. and Mrs.
Rocheford had given up all hope of
their arrival. Games we're played and
fun and frolic ran rampant during the
evening. At midnight very delight
full supper was served sy the young
ladies of the classes, assisted by Mrs.
ROCKFORD, and at O'Clock the party
started for home, arriving in Prince
ton at $3.50 Saturday morning.
The pupils take this means of ex-
tending thanks to Mr.. and Mrs.
ROCKFORD for the invitation and hos
pitable treatment accorded.

william Cordiner Writes.

A letter from VIM. Cordiner says
that he and Magnus Sjoblom have not
yet succeeded in reaching the diggings
that their progress was brought to
an abrupt termination by the washing
away of railroad. A cloudburst
struck the southeast quarter of Ena-
vile, Idaho, just after they arrived
there and carried the jerkwater rail
road track over the side of a preci-
pice, where it hangs like a loop OF
wire; so they will either have to pro-
coed on burros or walk knee deep in
mud for twenty or thirty miles. Bill
incidentally remarks that Enaville is
peculiar place nothing to eat at the
hotels but bar meat, pemmican and
sour bread, with an occasional herring
or slice of SOW belly. Magnus has
sent east for a consignment of pre-.
pared lutefsk and imported Norwegian
cheese, and Bill says that his sense OF
smell tells him it has been shipped.
Bill concludes by saying he will write
more anon.
