The $25 annual state tax for retailers
handling intoxicants, including drug
gists, provided by the Legislature of
1907, is held to be constitutional by

A badly damaged locomotive. burn

and the blockade of the Midland d.
vision at Pomfret from o'clock until
3 o'clock We're results of a rear-end
crash between two freight trains just
south of that station, Wednesday
morning 1t was the worst wreck in
this section for a long time. Slippery
rails and failure of the brakes to hold
are given as the causes of the acct
dent.
Local extra freight No. 412, in
charge of Conductor J NJ DeVfne of
each morning, was standing on the
east bound track near the Pomfret
station, when extra freight No. as
lso east bound and in charge of Con-
ductor Dennis Ryan of Boston. shot
around the curve and plowed into the
caboose of the standing train. The
brakes on No AS were grinding hard
but not sufficiently SO to entirely check
the momentum of the heavy train. Re
alizing that the smash was not to be
avoided. Engineer Frank DAILY jumped
and escaped without injury. His fire
man, Robert Acker of Boston decided
to take his chances of getting out
safely by way of the tender and the
first car back of the engine, but when
the crash came he was hurled to the
ground receiving a badly sprained an
kle and a severe shaking up. He was
removed to the Day-KimbaH hospital
The locomotive telescoped the ca
boose and tore into the cars at the
rear of the standing train, while the
impact of the collision piled the cars
of the moving train upon the tender,
.burg-ine the big machine under a mass
of wreclSage. This almost Immediately
caught fire. The caboose and two cars
of the local freight were burned.
The wreck spread over upon the
west bound track and blocked 1t.
Wrecking crews were ordered out
from ReadvilIe and East Hartford and
managed to get both tracks clear at
three O'Clock About ten cars were
destroyed or badly dana ged.
During the time that the line was
closed the Midland division trains were
sent TO WilIimantic by way of Plain
field. The Boston-NeW York express
out of Putnam at 3.27 was the first
train to get through. The locomotive

Judge James n. Tucker, one of the
census enumerators for the town of
Killingly makes the following inter
esting statement relative to his expe-
riences in doing the work assigned to
him:
We have finished our work as census
enumerator. Upon the whole the work
has been a pleasant one. We have seen
much Of the social, religious ana nome ,l
life of our town, and the view has
been a pleasing one. Extreme poverty
and want are nowhere to be seen and
the every day comforts to be found in
the homes Of the working people ex-
coed in number and quality the lux
uries of 80 to - years ago. The work.
ing man and his family of today en-
joy each day luxuries that 70 years
ago were unknown to even the most
wealthy.
SO much for the dirge of the grim
old pessinist, who, sitting in sac<cloth
and ashes, continuously walls that the
poor are growing poorer and the rich
richer" The fact is that We are all
enjoying the wonderful blessings and
progress of the goth century.
Neither are We going to the dogs
morally or religiouSIy. We note that
the religious and moral sentiment of
our town is being well sustained and
that to this IS being added the refin-
ing and aesthetic influence of modern
up to date education and culture.
We were almost uniformly received
with effuSiVe cordiality, and our ques-
lions were met with cheerful, ready
and unrestrained answers. Only twice
did we find any one grOuchy and in
clined to give US uncivil answers or a
discourteous rebuff. and these instances
We're hardly worthy of mention, as we
We're assured by their neighbors that
their conduct was the result of mental

CLARENDON M. GREENE
LEFT ESTATE OF $115,o34.
Missing $4,000 Bonds Accounted for,
Equivalent in Cash Being Furnished.

Judge F. F. Russell, administrator
of the estate of Clarendon NJ. Greene,
late of Putnam has obtained, after
much difficulty, the equivalent in cash
Of bonds amounting to nearly $4,000,
which has been missing from the es-
tate for "a year. The inability of the
administrator to come into possession
of the bonds of western railroads
which have been missing has. delayed
him in bringing about a settlement of
the estate ana forced him to ask for
an extension of time
The bonds in question disappeared
shortly after the death of Mr.. Green,
but knowledge of them came to the
administrator through his receiving, in
hfs official canacity, interest due Mr..
Green from his investment in them.
The amount of the first inventory of
the estate filed May 13. 1903. was
S113760; that of the second inven-
tory filed on May 10, 1909. was $7S,-
947.01; and that of the third, filed on
amount inventoried S115,0S4.61.
The search for the missing bonds
was an interesting one and was con-
tinued for a long time.
