Celluloid, which was invented m
Newark, was the cause of W. factory
disasters by reason Of its infammabil-
ity. A French savant has now discov-
cred a simple process to make celluloid
non-infammable. The change in the
material will make collars and cuffs
and women's ornaments safer for wear
near a gas-iet.

Hudgins. the only son of Grand
berry and Elizabeth Hudgins fell
asleep in Jesus, aged two years
and five days. He was "a very
bright little boy and was loved
and petted by every one.
Safely, safely gathered in,
Far from sorrow, far from sin,
No more childish griefs or fears,
No more Sadness, no more tears,
For the life SO young and fair,
Now hath passed from earthly care
God himself the soul will keep,
Giving his beloved sleep.

HORSE THIEF WENT
 TO WEST OF NORWICH.
Passed Through Gardner Lake and Was Overtaken at Moore's Corners, Mass,

After a twenty-six hour chase Liv- eryman George G. Avery of New Lon don on Wednesday morning recovered a horse stolen from him Sunday morn- ing. The horse was recovered at Moore's Corners, Mass
 Sunday morning a middle-aged man went to Avery's stable and hired a horse and carriage. He gave his name as Frank Trenton and paid for the hire of the outfit in advance. He stated that he wanted to drive to Poquonoc and would be back at noon.
 Mir. Avery was not suspicious until the hour of 12 was passed, and then as the hours rolled on he began to suspect that he had been vfctimized. He immediately got the phone work ing and located the man and outfit at Gardner Lake. He then traced the man by phone to Colchester, then to South Coventry and Stafford Springs He decided not to rely upon officers, but to go himself, so he left Tuesday morning at o'clock in search of the man and outfit. He went by auto from Willimantic, tracing the man from Monson to Palmer from Palmer Montague. and finally to Moore's Cor ners.
 There he inquired about the man and the horse and carriage and was ing less than 100 feet away from Avery as he made the inquiries. Tren- ton, if that is his name did not wait to hear any more, but turned on his heel and ran. As he did so he was pointed out as the man, and one or two started for him. He darted into a building and jumped out of a. rear window. disappearing in the woods
 MT. Avery then located his prop erty in the barn of a man named Fay Tor, where Trenton had put it up for the night. He identified it and it was turned over to him.

OLD MAGAZINE
 AT FORT TRUMBULL.
Uncovered, but May Not Be Restored
 Because of Expense.

In the course of excavations made during the past few days by Michael O'Brien and his workmen in the old l Fort Griswold at Groton several inter esting reminders of olden times have been brought to light and for the present the work has been suspended in order to ascertain the wishes of the Fort Griswold tract commission in re- 1 gard to preservation and possible re- storation of the material thus un- earthed
 The work which has been prose cuted in the old fort recently has been on the old sallyport and here MT. O'Brien has uncovered what is beyond doubt the old magazine which was in use at the time of the battle of Groton Heights. This magazine, which is, of course. all underground, will measure approximately 7x3O feet, is thoroughly
 bricked up and solidly built and is sit uated about 15 feet from the inner en- trance to the Sallyport.
 Between the magazine and the sally port, old residents say, a covered way roofed in with 16-inch timbers, existed. Some of the remains of this has been found. A chamber adjoining the mag
 azine, but what it's use was has not
 yet been ascertained, has also been
 uncovered.
 Further excavation will be proceeded with very carefully, as many other in teresting relics are expected to be dis covered.
 Now that the old magazine has been
 located. it is not certain that it will be
 restored, a s was the original plan. The
 cost of restoring. it has been found
 will be considerable, perhaps too much
 to warrant taking such course. The
 plan was to find the magazine and
 then make it as it was when the fort
 was in Revolutionary times. The search
 was successful the magazine being
 found at the southeast corner of the
 fort.
 The commission is planning other
 he
 nouncement of the same may be ex-
 pected soon.
