.SPOILING MAIN ST,
 WOOD-BLOCK PAVING
Residents Angry That Nice Even
 Surface is to be Destroyed /

A gang of workmen commenced tearing up the new wooden block pavemen in Main street at the foot of Fulton street this morning to the regret of everyone in the neighbor- hood who saw that it means the first uneven place in the fine pavement as the blocks cannot be relaid as evenly as originally. The blocks were torn up for the purpose >of connecting a new building with the water mains in the street. One of the residents of the section who raved about the torn up street said that he did not think the permanent paving commis- sion was going to help the city much if it did not force public service cor porations to run laterals from it's main pipe lines to the curb at intervals of 50 feet whether buildings were con structed on the street or not. He said that Mayor Bryan F. Mahan of New London will not allow even ma cadam pavement to be laid in the streets of his city unless water and gas latera1s are laid to the curb first.

We must take political prestige away from those who have been pursuing politics for personal profit or prestige in ways that are dark and by tricks that are vain.

 ..It's all on account of Miss Hall, :" was the towns explanation, tearfully IS proffered yesterday. Miss Sturges couldn't stand her brothers marriage to Miss Hall, whom she considered 8 servant
 she was installed in a pretty farm house on the border of the thousand acre estate. Her duties were to super intend the care of the score or more Pomeranians belonging to the kennels In this she was usually successful.

 Miss Mary Arnit Hall is a winsorne here two years ago as mistress of Miss Sturges's kennels and was mar ried six weeks ago to Frederick Sturges IT., Miss Sturges's brother.
 MT. Sutrges soon followed. His sister, too, reached the other side in time to attend the wedding which took place early in September at Beckington, Somerset, England.
 After the wedding young Sturges and his bride began a trip around the world. In the meantime, it is said, time has healed whatever ran cor Frederick Sturges, ST., felt to- ward his beautiful young daughter fn-Iaw. and he is ready to welcome her into the family and a, share of his immense fortune
