WlLLlMANTIC.
Rev. J. J. Fiemming Reminds Parish
toner's at 81. Joseph's Church of
Lenten and Other oblisations-For
hidden Marriages Considered.

Rev John j. Flemming. during his
announcements at the 1890 O'clock
mass. Sunday, admonished his people
that certain happenings OF late for
hidden by the church, must cease. as
they have excited much comment and
has caused Willimantic to 6e a regu-
lar Gretna Green. According to the
newspapers, lately Father F'lemming
stated local Catholics, and from other
places nave been Married in town by
ministers and justices of the peace.
This" he said. lis no marriage at
all, and any Catholic, or Catholics so
married. living as married people, are
not married, but. living in a state of
tornlcaJion or adultery. Such people
are exeom municated by the church.
Then, as to the divorce evil. The
church never grants an absolute di-
vorcG- A divorce only in very rare
cases Is permitted and that in the form
OF separation, and prohibits either
husband and wife to marry again while
the other is alive
Father F1emmlng laid particular
stress on the matter Of strong drink.
He said there was too much drinking
going on in this city During the holy
season OF Lent self denial should be
pTacticed, and some modification
shown. Those WAC drink hard should
try and stop and take the pledge.
A11sN VIM LS(AS liquor now ana then
and know wien TO stop should abstain
entirely.
Treating, according TO Father F1em-
ming, IS one Of the prime causes of
men getting drunk. Many a man of
GOOD intentions falls through this hab-
It. A father Of family coming home
TO his wife and little ones beastly
drunk can he expect any honor from
bis family? What an example to his
little ones?
Father Flemming hoped his remarks
would bear fruit and said he looked
Tor less drinking at least during Lent.
A great deal OF money is needed this
spring, Father Flemming states, to
carry out the plan of identifying the
church and school grounds. Hence,
outside collections should not inter-
fere with the ordinary offertory COL
lection on Sunday; everybody should
make an extra effort to help out in
this rnetter. Unless the money comes
along no work could be done and for
this purpose a gathering of the mem
bers Of the different societies connect
cd with st. Joseph's church win be
Leld Sunday evening, March H. at the
church to arrange for funds to carry
out the work.

Chicken Pie Supper Awaited Members
of Farther Lights Society.

Lights Of the Baptist church drove to
the home Of Alvah Pierce at Squaw
Rocks farm Friday evening, where
they we're very pleasantly entertained.

readings that were fully sufficient u
maintain the pleasure Of the event.
Thirty Prisoners Cutting Ice.
Thirty prisoners from the Jail at
Brooklyn were taken to Alexander's
lake Saturday and put to WORK getting
in ice. 1t was good strenuous work,
perhaps not Of the kind the majority
of them have been accustomed to, but
of common value to the county, the
prisoners, the icemen and the people
that viii appreciate 1t next summer.
The jail men helped save the situation.
At present los prisoners are held at
the jail. a number close to the high
record mark Of the winter.
The Use Of State Arnories.
Local members of the G. A. r. are
interested in a bill before the legisla-
ture 10 allow the use OF state armories
for quarters for the posts. It is quite
probable that the bill viii pass. Should
the legislature also vote to purchase
the armory here in Dsnielson for s15,-
600 as has been proposed, the Grand
Army men here would be in line to re-
ceive the benefits Of the lePlslation.
In the local armory there is a large
banquet room on the parloT floor that
Is rarely used for the purpose intended
and this could be readily arranged as
quarters for the veterans. Such an
arrangement would relieve the post Of
a considerable yearly expense for rent
and it also has other advantages.

ant Pratt reviewed the method of con-
troll of an artillery district during an
engagement, explaining the divisional
commands from the district command

the side doorways Of the enclosed milk
wagon, when the locomotive struck the
horse. Parts of the harness became
entangled on the locomotive and the
animal and part of the vehicle were
dragged $50 feet down the track. About
