fl THE UNFAIR . LIQUOR TRAFFIC. Made the Subject of a Dis course by H. H. Spooner
 at the North Canaan
 Town Hall. .
Arguments Used Against the Granting of Licenses-Why He Considers the Traffic Unfair to the Man Who Drinks, Unfair to the Home, the School, the Church and the Town.

Austins orchestra, Winsted, fur nished music for the no,licenss rally held at town hall, North Canaan, last Friday night. Justice George W. Ford presided as chairman of the meeting. Patriotic songs were sung. In intro ducing the speaker Justice Ford said that there had been enough doing in North Canaan the past year under license to set people thinking. There had been more wife beating, caused by liquor, more murders committed, while under the influence of liquor, more thievery done, while in liquor, and more drunken men seen upon the village streets than ever happened under the regime of no license, and if anybody had a doubt as to the truth of these assertions, he in- vited them to visit his office and look over the records and files of the cases men tioned.
 The speaker, H. H. Spooner, Secretary of the State Christian Temperance Union was received with applause. By way of introduction to his subject, he said :: "The temperance question has been called an old story, and it is an old story, yet there are constantly new sides to it. What your chairman has said of your town. is equally true of towns every where. Never has town gone from no-icense to license, but crimes have increased three times as much as under no-icense. In fact there has not been one-third the crime, sorrow and trouble under no-license that there has ~been under license. It follows as naturally as night follows day.
 1.-The liquor men have taken up new way of working. They are putting out mass of deceptive adyertising; are placarding the country over with argu- ments for their side of the case If you

Mo LEAN HAS
 THEM WORRIED Would be Swept Into Office by Popular Vote.
His Forces are Reported as Winning All Along the Line---An Interesting View of the Senatorial Struggle.
 Especial to the Newsl

Hartford, Sept. 27-The Bulkeley forces in the contest over the United States senatorship now held by Senator Morgan G. Bulkelsy are very plainly worried. From the time that the candi- dacy of ex-Gov. George P. Mclean was announced there has been uneasiness on the part of Bulkeley and his friends. It was long since admitted by some of the more prominent of the latter that if
 Connecticut were to have a popular election for United States senator, Mclean wonld be swept into office by a arge majority of the voters. As the returns from the caucusses which are nominating senators and representatives in the state legislature come in the crystallizing of this sentiment in these nominations is becoming daily more evident. The candidates who are openly for Mclean are winning all along the iiue. E.
 One of the straws that shows which way the wind blows is the retirement of Andrew F. Gates from the railroad commission in order to take more active part in politics. Since it is hard
Connecticut western news., 1910-10-06

to see how he can take a more active part than he has taken, this is taken as joke, but it is no joke to the Bulkeley forces.
 Their latest move was to claim that Senator Walter l.. Goodwin of Hartford cousin of Candidate Charles Goodwin who heads the Republican state ticket, had turned from Mclean to Bulkeley and was to be renominated on that basis. Senator Goodwin has promptly denied that anything of the sort is the case and says that he is not announcing himself for anybody and has not decided to allow the use of his name as candidate himself yet
 It is freely said in Hartford that "Charlie" Goodwin cannot carry the city for governor unless he comes out for Bulkeley and that this fact has been announced to him, and the announce ment of the "defection" of his cousin was doubtless intended to have some bearing on this. The candidate for governor, however, is taking no part in the contest over the United States senatorship.

Woman as @ Traveller.

When a woman who is travelling Is assigned to her room in a hotel she looks up the hotel rules on the door and carefully reads them. When she comes to one as follows, No washing of clothes permitted in this room," she gives a satisfied sigh. Then she un- packs her trunk, rings for hot water and within an hour has the mirror covered with handkerchiefs pasted there to dry, and has hose, underwear, waists, etc, hanging over the back of every chair. Then she gets out her diary and notes in it how much money she has saved. "There are said to be some very historic places in this town" she notes after detailing her wash.

TRAINS COME INTO
 COLLISION HERE

There was 8 wreck in Canaan Tuesday night at the crossoYer of the Central New England railroad, which, while slight as to actual results was alive with dread possibilities. Extra No. 51, Engi- neer Harry Dodge, Conductor Jesse Drum, was being made up by the switcher on the Central New England road for the west. The signals indica. ted clear track as the switcher started to push train of several loaded freight cars down the track across the N. Y. N. H. 6 H. road, just south of Canaan depot. Before the cars reached the crossover, some person, at present un- known, threw the signal, indicating a clear track for the N Y. N. H. 6 H. local freight, No 1470 which was also switching on it's tracks. AS a result of the error, the N. Y. N. H. 6 H. train backing down, hit car 61456, B. 6 M., loaded with merchandise, knocking it from the 0. N. E tracks down a slight embankment, bending a switch and throwing the car onto it's side. Mike Cullen of Canaan, was on top of the car at the moment of impact with the cabose of the N. Y. N. H. & H. train, but saved himself from injury by jumping on the upward side of the car as it overturned. The rear of the N. Y. N

ANOTHER VICTIM
 OF THE ENGINE

Arthur J. Wilson, for a number of years an engineer on the N. T., N. F. 6 H. railroad, was killed by his engine Sunday night near Botsford. He was we'll known to railroad men throughout the Berkshire division, over which he has frequently run. His home was at State Line, Berkshire County, Mass, where he leaves D widow and two daughters. one a member of the fresh man class of Pittsfeld high school. It has long been the habit of the engineers to turn over to their fireman the care of the engine, at the beginning of the steep grade near the Botsford junction, while they stepped off and ran into the station for orders, thus saving travelling back two train lengths to reach there
 This Engineer Wilson did, but as he stepped from his engine, his jacket caught on the cab and the engine being ia motion he was thrown under and cut in two. Death was almost instant. The body was buried at Newtown where the deceased was wei, known, ...

AMONG THE WISE
 AND THE FOOLISH
Both Classes Prominent at
 the Harrington Fair.

eanaanites Were Out in Large DeIe-
 gationsIand LitchfieId County Sent
 Thursday 1000 People to the Big,
 Successful Show, .-s.
 Thursday was Canaan day for the Great Harrington fair and the trains from here that morning were crowded. It was likewise the great day for Litch- field county. People came from as far east as Winsted and all along the line west, even from beyond Millerton. The trains from the south brought large numbers from along the line as far as New Milford, st least. The crowds con- gested the Canaan depot waiting rooms and platforms and 1000 people boarded the trains from here for the fair grounds.
 Friday saw large number leave for Harrington. The first two days drew a goodly number, but Thursday appeared to be the banner day.
 The fair was 8 success, both in attend anoe and in entries. The average at tendance Wednesday and Thursday was from 12, ,000 to 15, 900 each day.
 The poultry exhibition comprised all the leading breeds of fowls and some very fine birds were shown.
 The cattle show was commendable. There was splendid collection of we'll bred cattle and they excited much in- terest from spectators.
 The trotting all through the fair was interesting and some good races were pulled off.
 The hall exhibit of grain and vege- tables made good showing, though not as large as some fairs have.
 In the hall all sorts af merchandise in way of fancy wares found ready sale. There were many novelties, good, bad and indifferent and the stands and booths coined money.
 Along the midway the usual bunch of fakirs did business with bells oD. Games of chance and gambling devices were numerous and many hard working greenhorn was parted from his cash. There were all sorts of catch penny de- vices at work and the fakirs coined money hand over fist.
 An airship in form of dirgible made daily flights to the delight of enthusiastic crowds.
 It was great day for the country boy and girl for bashful swain and maid of his choice for aged grandsire and husky son for hard working housewife and buxom farm lassies; for shop girls and their best fellows; for village clerks, horsemen, stock raisers and all who en- joyed fun, frolic, trottihg and general sight seeing.
 The lemonade stands, sandwich coun- ters, dining rooms. restaurants, side shows and vendors of farming machinery did land office business. People seemed 0 have plenty of money and parted with it freely. Good weather marked at least three days of the fair and the majority who attended feel satisfied that they received their moneys worth.

WHAT OUR BOYS
 SHOULD LEARN Lucius Futile Offers Some Practical Advice.
That Boy Devoted to His Employers h. terests and Who is Faithful and Tru1 and Not a Clock Watcher is the Boy Who Wins Success.


 Luoius Futile, former president of the Boston 6 Maine railroad. in au interview gives some excellent advice to boys. He says truly: "The great trouble with boys to. day is that they want to begin where their fathers left off. They are not satisfied to work along year after year, as did their fathers, content to do the work given them as we'll as they can and wait until the time comes when their services will be recognized They are too impatient.
 , "The railroad business is very different from what it was 8 few years ago, when She roads were small. or before the large systems were organized. In those days the president of bank or some local capitalist might be placed at the head of railroad corporation, but that is not the way business is conducted to-day.
 "You will find that the men directing the railroads of the country to-day, al most without exception, are men who have started at the bottom of the ladder and after long years of service have gained knowledge of railroading that cannot be obtained in any other way.
 "It is practical acquaintance with matters of the business that makes them valuable, which enables them to grasp the details of large and important mat ters and to make quick decisions. They may ask the advice of the heads of de- partments, but they are not obliged to depend upon it, as would be the case with an officer who did not have prac- tical experience of his own to rely upon. He can tell whether the advice is good or bad. He knows.
 "The man who spends long years of service as an operator, ticket agent or clerk, in any of the minor positions in which some of the most prominent rail road men of to-day have started, is learn ing all the time all kinds of things are coming to his notice, and, while he is spending all these years apparently with out receiving any recognition, he Is mak- ing himself more valuable, preparing himself for the future.
 "This is something the public does not always take into consideration. The public's estimate of man is after he comes into sight. Then you hear re- marks about how quickly he has forged to the front, and how successful hs has been in so short time. The 20 years or more of patient plodding he put in be. fore the public ever heard of him is not taken into consideration.
 "It does not matter much where boy

It was Democratic victory, so far as regards the election of the town ticket. There are various reasons assigned for this, but let the figures speak for them selves and tell the story.

SOME OF THE CONDITIONS
Which It is Claimed Led up to Existing
 Results.

North Canaan has returned to the column of the dries. By vote of 15 majority Monday, the die was cast The license vote cast was 452 of which 231 were No and 216 were Yes. Various causes are said to have brought about this result Some say it was the Italian vote, of which there are IS, and that 14 of these voted no. Others say that the li- cense men had some forty odd men here ready to vote, the majority of whom were ineligible, being non resident. Be < this as it may it is fact that the Rev Harry Cornford as official challenger for the day held up fully a dozen of these voters and it was shown that not permitted to do so. One of these acknowledged that he had lived for 8 year past in Torrington, had not an aTti- cle of clothing, even i'll this town, had paid no poll tax here, but claimed vot- ing residence. 1t took but @ minute to disqualify such eases, once they came before moderator George H. Fuller.
 Others charge that money was sent here by parties living in Massachusetts, who are interested in having North Ga naan go no license, that it might swing the liquor trade over the Massachusetts line. How much truth there may be to such charge no one pretends to know definitely. Tbese are but few of the many reasons one hears about town from people who try to account for the large no-license majority, compared with that cast when last the town voted on the question.

a terrible warning to those yet
spared who "put an enemy in
to their mouths to steal away
their Drains!!"
Under the energetic direction
of Mr. WP Hawkins, the mule
was extricated from it's muddy
bed and was soon able to travel.
The coroner was notified and in
a few hours he arrived at the
place and impanneled the jury
of inquest with Mr. w H McGee
as foreman. Meantime willing
hands had lifted the wagon from
the remains of the unfor tunate
man, the colored men who had
gathered around freely lending
their aid as they always do here
in such emergencies. The body
was so completely encased in
mud as to be unrecognizable,
but when washed and laid out
the features looked natural save
for a few bruises, leaving no
room for doubt as to the identity
o. the body.
There was very little testi-
mony given or required, the
facts of the case being almost
self-evident. The jury returned
the following verdict: 1--WE,
the jury of inquest, have made
examination and believe, to the
best of our knowledge, that the
deceased came to his death by
accident, his mule getting off
the embankment and turning
the wagon over upon the body
of the deceased
Two points a little puzzling
were: first, that the body and
the mule and wagon were all
facing downward, when the de-
ceased was presumed to be on
his way home-just the opposite
direction-at the time the acci-
dent occurred; and, second, that
according to the hour that the
deceased left town to go home,
he should have passed beyond
the dangerous causeway before
night overlook him. The most
plausible explanation of these
discrepancies is that Mr. Lennon
had passed the causeway and
found out that he had lost some
thing, causing him to drive back

TO HIS Death.
JR LENNON VICTIM OF TERRIBLE ACCl-
Dent ON PUBLIC HlGHWAY
FRIDAY Night.

Shocking and terrible was the
death of James Blanding Lennon
last Friday night. Coming into
town early Friday morning from
his home at Martins X Roads,
Just a few miles across Black
river, with a freshly butchered
beef in his wagon, he disposed of
his beef and left town. it is said,
alone in his wagon and consider
ably the worse for liquor, late
in the afternoon, a little before
sundown. He was never seen
alive again. so far as has been
testified.
Early comers to town from
beyond the river Saturday
morning reported seeing in one
of the big bitches or excavations
at the fork of the Kingstree and
Manning roads about two miles
from town, an overturned wag-
on. with a mule attache !, and
something like a mans feet
sticking out from underneath
the body of the wagon.
At 9 o'clock a m thanks to the
courtesy of Mr. j D Gilland for
the use of his auto) a reporter
for The Record arrived on the
scene. 1t was truly a gruesome
spectacle. The overturned wag-
on, the human body, its head a
foot under mud pinned down by
the front wagon wheel, the half
frozen mule feebly foundering
in the mud, the poor beast
meaning piteously the while,
a broken package of apples the
father was taking home to his
children he was fated never to
see again with mortal eyes: then
beside the cold and pulseless
corpse, now almost without
semblance of human form. was
seen quart bottle Of whiskey,
the silent witness that told the
story Of a sordid tragedy. What
a moral to be pointed out! What
