WIILIMANTIC-

longing to A. e. Cruthers OF Norwich,
bearing the number 1872. figured in
slight accident on Main street, that
resulted in no injury to any person,
but the car itself was not SO fortu-
nate, as it was considerably dam
aged.
The driver was plotting the car
down Main street and when opposite
the Windham National bank the ma
chine started to slide and skidded
across the wet pavement from the
trolley tracks and finally brought up
against a post on the sidewalk be-
tween r. Z. RemingtonS and W. j.
Sweeney & Sons stores, that was
boxed in with boards. The post was
smashed to splinters. The car sus-
tanned a broken side door. damaged
hood and sprung the rear axle, and
rendered the off wheel pretty WobDly.
The impact of the car against the
post was sufficient to turn the car
completely around, not once but twice
before its driver could stop 1t, and
then the machine was headed in the
wrong direction.
A big crowd gathered and not a lit
tie excitement was caused for a few
moments. The driver and two other
occupants of the car made a hasty eX-
animation and then proceeded leisure
ly down Main street with frequent
stops until the Main street macadam
was reached, when there was clear
going.
Those who saw the mishap consider
it a lucky escape for the occupants of
the automobile and breathed signs of
relief when it was found that no one
was injured.

COLCHESTER AGENT
Refused to Give Up Books and Papers
to Middietown Employers-Amos
Case Held the Fort.

Thursdays Middletown Press aid:
trunk filled with books, papers,
etc, was sent here last night, from
Colchester, to the custody of the clerk
of the court of Middlesex county, and
today they are reposing in his vault
in the municipal building.
The books and papers are those
used by Amos Case of Colchester, agent
and manager of a branch store in Col
chester for the Coles company of this
city.
A few weeks ago the Coles company
decided not to continue the services of
Mr.. Case as their agent in Colchester.
Mr.. Case claimed to own the building
In which the business was done, and he
boarded it up. The Coles company ask
ed for the books and Il statement of
the affairs of the agency. and they al
lege that they We're unable to obtain
them. The Coles company was unable
to ascertain the condition of the bust
ness in Colchester for the reason
THAT Mr.. Case would not provide them
with a statement nor give them the
custody of the books containing the
accounts.
Through their attorney the Coles
company obtained from a judge of the
superior court an Injunction TO pre-
vent Case from diSposing of the books.
They also brought a suit against Case,
claiming damages of $4,000 In ad-
dition, they garnisheed Father O'Don-
nell, the parish priest, Thomas Broth
ers and some others. whom they
thought might be indebted to the
agency for goods supplied.
On the other hand, Case has threat
ened or has already brought suit
aga inst the Coles company, alleging
that they tore the board off the build
ing owned by him and which he nailed
up when he lost the agency.
Constable Griffin has been to Col
H. Of
ground over and working up the case,
and he finally went down and served
the papers, assisted by Deputy Sheriff
Wickwire of New London county. 1t
is understood that Case has retained
counsel to represent him in the pro-

Naval Line and Staff
The line and staff trouble began with
the application of steam to naval
navigation. When engines were put
into Warships it became necessary to
place them in charge OF skilled Off
GERS. 1t was perhaps natural that the
navigators and disciplina1fans of the
ship, the fighting force, should look
disparaginglY upon the men who work
ed below, and We're charged with what
they regarded as the less hazardous
task of making THE vessel go. At the
same time the vital Importance of the
man in the engine-room was recOg-
nized. Without his skill in the hand
ling of the great machine it would be
helpless before the enemy. Corps pride
developed rapidly. After the Civil
the peace conditions, there was, per
haps a tendency to overspecialize,
and it was inevitable that the line ana
staff jealousy should become acute.
The Spanish War in many ways
taught the unwisdom of permitting
these two sides to PLAY nolitics, to en-
gage in preferment enterprises.
1t would be in the last degree bene-
fetal to the navy if this question
could be brought to the point Of final
adjustment by act Of Congress. Ener-
gies that therefore have been eX-
pended IN legislative endeavors might
be applied profitably to the develop
ment Of the service to the highest pos
sible degree of Washington
Star.

POE IS IN THE HALL OF FAME
MELANCHOLY POET ELECTED TO
HONOR At LAST.
Harriet 1eecher Stowe Heads List o.
Ten Celebrities Chosen With "a
Votes.

New York, Oct. 22-Edgar Allan
Poe is at last in the hall of fame. Years
of effort on the part of staunch sup
porters to get his name added to the
list was rewarded by the announce
ment of DR.. John H. MacCracken, chair
man Of the senate of New York Uni
versity, that the author of "The Raw
en-" with ten others had been accorded
this honor. The. eleven names added
are as follows:
Harriet Beecher Stowe, "A votes;
oliver Wendell Holmes and Edgar Al
Ian Poe, 50 votes each; Roger Will
liams, Ga; James Fenimore Cooper, 81;
Phillips Brooks, 60; William Cullen
Bryant, So; Frances E. Willard, Sc;
Andrew Jackson, George Bancroft, So
each; and John Lathrop Motley, 81.
The total number of ballots cast was
81 and the number required for choice
was 81. Poe's vote jumped from AZ
in 1905 to 60, an increase of ~ votes.
An analysis of the vote shows that of
this SO votes 81 were cast by college
presidents, II by professors of history
and scientists, Is by publicists, edi.
tors and authors and 10 by jurists.
Contrary to the general impression, the
memory of the melancholy poet is as
famous in the west as in the south,
according to the vote. Since the last
election, his fame increased more
among college presidents than among
any of the other groups.
AS result of the election the auth
or's corner doubles it's population and
goes far ahead of the statesmen in
number. Eleven bronze tablets for
the names chosen will be designed with
an appropriate quotation from the
words of each, and the formal unveil-
ing will take place in October, 1911, in
the hall of fame at New York Univer-
sity.
In the vote for women the names
chosen are those of women who were
not eligible at the last election, not
having been dead ten years at that
time. Of those who were voted for in
the last election, but still lack the nee
essary votes, Charlotte Saunders Cush-
man, shows a gain from 80 to As votes,
Martha Washington from 80 to 43, and
Lucretia Mott from 33 to Al.
