WROTE OBSCENE LETTERS.
New London Brakeman Held for United
 States District Court.

Sylvester Lawrence, a freight brake man, of New London, was arrested Thursday morning upon complaint of Postoff1ce Inspector Charles H. Clara han for using the mails as a carrier of obscene letters.
 Lawrence it is alleged, and in fact has been admitted, wrote a letter on two different occasions to Mrs. Hattie Chase of East Colebrook, N. H. Both letters contained vulgar language. The inspector had two letters received by Mrs. Chase from and signed by Law renee. One was mailed from New London June 9th and the other June 9th, both addressed to Mrs. Chase, care of Horace Dike.
 Lawrence waived examination be- fore Commissioner Butler and was held for trial in the United States dis trict court. His bond was fixed at $500 and he was taken to Hartford to await trial.
 Lawrence in a statement declared that Mrs. Chase was only 15 years of age and that he had known her before her marriage to Chase. He said he re- ceived a letter from her prior to writ ing the letters that have caused his arrest and declares that the contents of the letter received by him were of the same nature as that by which he replied.

 Until After No license rreva"s'
 Many nersons tt understanding the new liouor iicenS law recently passed by both houses # the general assem- biv. think that the law. winch pro vides for not sore than one saloon to each 500 porilation, will &aAi TOT tns immediate rduetion of the Nnunper oI saloons in ach license town pp one

 will be the rise in value of saloon n~ censes already held. The only way the existing number of saloons can pc decreased is by convtcting the pro- prietors of violations of the law, by death of the proprietors, by reruslng to transfer licenses where owners have been forced to vacate theN sa- looms by landlords, and conversely oy increase of population. The law gro hibits the county commissioners from issuing any new licenses m towns where the proportion is one saSQon 70 500 inhabitants. By the exeycfSe or discretion in refusing transfexs tne commissioners will also be enaoled to decrease the number of saloons grad ually. Were the number of saAoans to be reduced at once in Norwich 2 the proportion of one saloon to bVo inhabitants, the number here would be less than 50 on a basis of 2s,o00 population. There are now appxoxf- mately 90. The decrease of the saloons by more than one-third of their nnm- Der would be felt quickly. according to temperance people.
 The new law, as applicable to NOT wich and other towns in New Lon- don county, will not be productive or radical change. In fact, 1t simply puts formally into law what has been the custom of the county commissioners. The one to 500 law is the result of a compromise between the liquor and anti-liquor representatives. The lat ter wished a proportion of one saloon to every 1000 inhabitants, but the QUO mark was finally agreed on-

SIX COWS KILLED ON
 NORWICH H-WESTERLY LINE
Struck by Car on Rounding Curve
 Belonged to Lafayette Main.

Motornan Jack McGlone, running the sos Norwich & Westerly trolley out of this city Wednesday evening. ploughed into herd of a dozen or Lafayette A. Mains cows on the long curve at the Summit switch, killing one outright, injuring three more so that they died within a short time, and two others were so badly injured that they were killed by MT. Main on Thursday morning. This gets the rec ord for killing cattle on the road at one time, Motorman Smith having held it up to this time with a string of four cows killed at one accident.
 The car hit the COWS on a curve where it was impossible to see them until right on top of them and went with such speed as to grind the re- mains of one into the roadbed for distance of fifty feet or more. The cows were huddled closely together when hit, accounting for the large number killed out of the herd. The carcasses had not been removed up to Thursday night.
