BREAK AT uNcAsvlLLE.
Postoffice Entered and Telephone
 Booth Rifled.

The postoffice at Uncasville was en- tered early Thursday morning and a small amount of money was taken. Entrance was made by the old door. the center one in the building. The burglars seem to have used a large stone to break the pane of glass in the upper half of the door.
 That something was wrong was dis covered by Edward Glassbrenner who at once went to Postmaster Merritt E. Tooker, who lives nearby, and they made an investigation.
 It was seen that the thief, or thieves, had opened the telephone cabinet in the store and had rined it Of it's contents. The telephone cabi- net stands just within the entrance and would be the first object within forced open. Until the s. N. E. Tel. ephone Co. has looked into the matter it will be impossible to say how much money was taken out. The impress sion. however. is that the sum cannot be large.
 Postmaster Tooker says that so far as he can see nothing else has been tempered with. The postofffce mater ials, stamps and cash were not there and that part of the store shows no signs of molestation. He failed to mo- tice any depletion of his stock of ci- gars, confectionery, etc.
 It is only a few months since the office was entered in a similar man ner, no trace of the burglars ever being found. Deputy Sheriff George N. Wood Is at work on the case.

FIRE STATION CHANCE OPPOSED.
West Side Residents Do Not Favor Moving Company ThamesviIle or Selling the BuiIding-Want Repre- septation On Water Board

On Thursday evening at eight o'clock there was meeting of the residents of the West Side for the purpose of takin gaction on the pro- posed moving of the Chemical com- pany from that district to Thamesville and the sale of the building. There were about 25 present when the meet ing was called to order at eight o'clock in the Chappell building in West Main street opposite Falls avenue. P. J. O'Connor was chosen chairman and Herman Alofsin clerk
 The following resolution was pre- sented and provoked considerable dis cussion, resulting in it's unanimous adoption;
 We. the undersigned citizens of the city of Norwich, residing on the West Side, do hereby enter our protest against the proposition of the selling of the building on West Main street in the city of Norwich, now occupied by hose company, No. 5, and owned by the city of Norwich, and we also fur ther protest against the removal of the said hose company, No. ,, from said building. The West Side is in pose of fire protection, and is also in need of place for public meetings, and the building in question should be kept for those purposes, and also for the various elections held in that locality. It would be a saving to the city of Norwich by so doing, instead of hiring rooms in other buildings for such purposes. It is uncalled for and unnecessary to sell the said property and the same should be retained by the city.
 Among those who spoke were J. H. Lee, Dennis Donovan. W. A. Breed. c. F. Briggs, Myer Blumenthal. Messrs. Connor and Mahoney. There was no opposition to the resolution, but the speakers thought that the company
Norwich bulletin., 1909-05-28

should not be taken away from that section and that the building should not be sold. They considered that 1t was jeopardizlng the property of the West Side to move the company. be- lieving that the long runs of the com janies which would serve them were detrimental, dnasmuch as much of It must be up hill. They thought it would take quite a while getting to the Mt Pleasant street schoolhouse or vicin- ity. All the speakers were opposed to the selling of the present seation, as they believed 1t should be retained for th~ polling place and other meetings of the district One speaker thought that if the company did go to Thames vile that there would be another for the West Side as there would be such a hue and cry that it would have to come, and with it a new station. He thought ThamesYille needed the pro- tection and now is the time to get it for them.
 After the resolution had been voted P. J. O'Connor was authorized to cir culate 1t, he having stated that prac- tically all the residents of the district. especially those living in the vicinity of Otis store, favored it.
 MT. O'Connor then stated that there was another matter of much import ance which the meeting should act up- on. The city has a fine water supply. but the Second district has no repre- sentation on the water board. This he clafmed was not right, and thought there were plenty of men qualified to sit in the board in the district. He urged them to attend the caucuses of both parties and work for the nonlna- ton of a Second district man for the water board. which was favored by the meeting.
 The meeting lasted an hour. ad- journing at o'clock after which most of those present signed the protest

BRIEF EULoGY OF
 FRANK T. BROWN. Given at Legislature by Representative Parker of Hartford-FuIfiIIed Every Duty as He Met 1t.

Wednesday in the legislature, when the report of the committee on in- corporations regarding the Billiard company was presented, Mir. Parker of Hartford offered an amendment striking out the name of Frank T. Brown, stating that since the resolu- tion was drawn Frank T. Brown had died.
 In discussing the amendment. MT. Parker spoke in part as follows:
 %This is neither the time nor the place for eulogy on Frank Thurs ton Brown, but crave the indulgence of the house to say word out of re- spect for his memory Modestly and quietly, without pretense and without ostentation, he had come to the front rank of his profession and in the es- teem of the community in which he dwelt
 "Avoiding rather than seeking the applause of his fellow men, he was content to fulfil every duty as he met 1t, and to do with his might his full share of the work of the world. His work was that of master workman. It was done faithfully, thoroughly, conscientiously and masterfully. More than once he has put aside proffers oe high political honors.
 Tt is vain to imagine what honors might have come to him from the womb of the future, but whatever they might have been or however high, he would have borne them modestly and worthily.
 Norwich, justly proud as she is of her many distinguished sons. has had few sons abler and more noble than Frank Thurston Brown.
 with grief as for brother dead, move the adoption of the amend ment."
 The amendment prevailed
