CAME FROM wlLLIMANTIc.
Fakir Who Said He Was Michael Shea
 of Norwich is John Luccy.

Michael Shea, arrested for panhand- ling in Putnam and Attawaugan last week and sent to the jail in Brook lyn under bonds of $1,000 to await trial at the March term of the su perior court, is not Michael Shea of Norwich. He is John Luccy. F, of POT Main street, Willimantic, and the blitheful youth has nof conceived the idea that his mother may be anxious about him.
 This information is contained in a letter that Chief Filling received from Luccy at the jail on Tuesday morn ing. In the letter Luccy writes that he has been thinking his predicament over and has decided to tell the truth about who he is and where he comes from. He writes that he has decided that it Is better to tell the truth and has made a plea that the officers be lenient with him. Luccy explains that he gave a fictitious name because he was ashamed of what he had done. but now he sees the error of his ways and promises to do better.
 The tone of the letter would indicate that the boy has really been doing some thinking since he was locked up last week. When first arrested Luccy said that his name was Shea and that he came from Norwich; later he told the officers that his home was in Co., lumbus Ohio. This time he is proba- bly, telling the truth.
 Luccy is the youngster to whom State Policeman Hurley. Capt. John Murray and Dr. F. F. Perry restored speech, hearing and the use of a bad lv crippled arm and leg after about two minutes treatment under fire. It was one of the greatest mind cures on record. The cure was made in the olicep office at Putnam just before Luccy was brought to Danielson for trial.
 Officer Hurley was notified by Chief Filling of what Luccy now has to say about himself but no action wa staken In the matter on Tuesday.

City Health Officer Keatina Claims That His Service Has Been Adequate and Above Criticism


 That His Service Has Been Adequate
 and Above Criticism.
 Dr. w. P. s. Heating, who has filled the office of city health officer for the past four years and is a candidate for reappoiutment, took exceptions to some things that were said anent the office and the manner in which the work had been done at the meeting of the board of aldermen Monday evening.
 Among other things that Dr. Owen o'Neill said was that the work of fumigation as being performed at the present time was absolutely made quate," for the reason it was not thor oughly done. He said that these things could be and should be done right Dr. Heating says that he does not agree with Dr. O'Neill and that the matter of disinfecting was done as well as 1t is possible under existing conditions. The work of Immigration is done half of the time by the physicians attend ihg the cases and what he as heal of ficer did was done just as well as 1t could be. He used a formaldehyde candle that had the approval of the state board of health and which was used fin many of the large cities of the state. Besides he did this fumigating work without compensation, aside from the salary as health officer.
 Regarding the quality of his work as health officer, he had endeavored to perform the duties as carefully and thoroughly as though there was much larger salary attached to the of flee. It was not a question of doing simply $25 worth of work each quarter but he did what there was to be done and took what the city allowed for the work. Concerning any criticism that may have been made with reference to hiq ruOrLr he health n67nQr GQid that the statement of the county health of- ficer made at a recent meeting of the common council, to the effect that the work had been done faithfully and we'll and that he had been paid a ri- diculously low compensation, should be considered of some value.

NEW RECORD
To Be Made of Those Buried in Wood
 stock Hill Cemetery.

City Engineer F. Walden Wright Is engaged at work in the cemetery on Woodstock Hill making a record of the persons buried there. The Woodstock Hill cemetery is one of the oldest in this section and contains graves dat ing back into the latter part of the sevente tn century. The scores upon scores of years that have passed since the cemetery was first used has caused a confusion of records as to the per- sons buried there. and Engineer Wright is to make a new record. It will be impossible to secure a complete list of all those resting in the quaint spot. as the inscriptions on many of the stones have been eitirely obliterated. Re- fardless of this fact, the work of list ing the names that can be read has been commenced. The work will re- quire considerable time. A fund has been raised by woodstock persons to defray the expense.

BOARD OF TRADE
After Social Supper at Hooker House Hears Address by Tax Commissioner Corbin.

A goodly number of the members of the Willimantic Board of Trade and their friends sat down to the second social supper for the season Tuesday evening that was served in the dining rooms of the Hotel Hooker. Landlord Winter had provided an appetizing re- past that was thoroughly relished by those in attendance. The novelty of having the supper served in excellent shape was appreciated by the members and friends and it is intimated that some of the suppers to be held during the remainder of the winter may be served at the same place instead of in the banquet hall of the Board of Trade.
 After supper the company adjourned to the lecture room of the Board of Trade in the opera house block and lis tened to an able address on Taxation by State Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin, who entertainingly and in terestingly explained the perplexing subject in its varied phases.
 Among those who were present at the talk in the lecture room besides members were many citizens, especial ly taxpayers. who are vitally interested in the question. The evenings social time was one of the very best that has been given under the auspices of the local Board of Trade.
