 LUTHER X. ZASRISKIE.
Given by Bulletin Employees at Del Hoff Cafe-Presented Gold Mounted Fountain Pen.

farewell banquet to express their sincere regard and good wishes was given on Saturday evening at the Del Hoff cafe by a party of his associates on The Norwich Bulletin staff to Lu- ther K.

Moves, president and treasurer of The Bulletin company, who referred in an appropriate way to the part the gift might play in official duties of much importance. MT. Za- briskies response expressed his great appreciation not only of the gift but of the spirit which prompted it and his assurance that it would always awaken memories of an especially en- joyable period of his life.

TWO BOYS DROWNED AT MONTVILLE
Harry and Charles Edwards Aged Ten and oeven Went Through the Ice-Older Boy Lost Life Trying tol Save His Brother.

A double drowning accident occurred at Montyille on Sunday afternoon when Harry and George Edwards, sons of MT. and Mrs. George B. Edwards, went through the ice at the Red Mill pond of the c. M. Robertson company, the older boy losing his life trying to save his brother. The boys were ten and seven, respectively, and had gone to the pond to skate, but the ice was thin and they went through into deep water, it being about ten feet where the bodies were found.
 Charles, the younger. had accompa- nied Harry to the pond. The latter had skates, but the former intended to skate about on his shoes. He started out onto the ice at once and had got some distance from the shore when he broke through. The water in the pond is used in the running of the mill and the ice there was only about an inch thick, it being new ice on a rising pond As the younger brother went through Harry made an effort to get him and went out onto the ice until he also was in the water. The younger boy had gone down and the older boy had come up for the last time when L. J. LaBounty, attracted by their cries, arrived. With a pole in his hands he crawled out onto the ice on his hands and knees, taking many
Norwich bulletin., 1911-01-09

chances, and cried to the boy to catch hold of the pole. It is supposed, how ever that he was too far gone to un- derstand he made no response or attempt to grab the pole and sank.
 The work of getting the bodies was begun at once, a large number being attracted by the affair. A boat was secured from a nearby pond and brought there in a cart and from that grappling irons and pikepolee were ef- fectively used the bodies being secured in about a half hour. The drowning occurred about 245 o'clock, the older boy going down first and being the first to be brought up. No effort was made to resuscitate them. it probably being considered that they had been in the water too long, although doc tor passing and supposing that they had just fallen in and were being taken out alive told them to roll the body on a barrel.
 They were found where they went down, it being close to the channel, where the water is ten feet or more in depth. The boys are survived by their parents. two brothers and a sister. Medical Examiner Dr. M. E. Fox was notified and after learning the facts gave permission for the removal of the bodies. The bodies were recovered by Herbert Hummel and James Everett.

COMMON PLEAS COURT
 HEARS THREE CASES
Hicks vs. Lewis, and Tannar, and Or chard vs. Equitable Assurance Go.

At New London, in the court of com- mon pleas Saturday morning Mrs William Hicks appeared as plaintiff in the case of Hicks vs. Lewis She claims that she loaned James Lewis, waiter at the Crocker house, $500. and that he had failed to repay. She had some difficulty in giving dates.
 Can you give approximately the date you loaned the money to Mr Lewis ?" Attorney Hicks asked.
 Mrs Hicks was visibly confused She pondered and finally had to admit that she didn't know whether it was in 1900, 1900 or 1900. Judge Waller sought to straighten up matters and to jog Mrs. Hicks waverirg memory.
 Don't you know the present year. that is, whether it is 1910 or 1911?' he asked
 Again Mrs. Hicks was forced to ad- init that she didn't know the year, nor even what month and what day it was.
 This man has got me all rattled up." was her defense.
 The case could not be tried with the despatch with which the ordinary case is, as the witnesses were not used to testifying in courts. Mrs. Hicks consumed considerable time in giving her testimony. Dates were not the only things that confused her. She was not exactly certain of sums.
  Lewis and said that he repaid S35 on the installment plan, which she said left that man owing me more than s150.' How much more she couldn't say.
 There was an interested gallery. Both plaintiff and defendant are prominent in New London colored so- ciety, which added interest to the suit. Mrs. Hicks is the wife of the veteran janitor of the Nathan Hale grammar school. She said in court that she realized after a while when Lewis fail ed to repay the money that ''he was going to beat me out of it.
 Following this case came the two cases against the Equitable Home Assurance Co. The plaintiff in the first case was Attorney Abel P. Tanner and in the other case Frank Orchard. Tanner sues for $500 and Orchard for $500.
 They are parallel cases, breach of contract being claimed in each. It is claimed that the plaintiffs entered in to a contract with the defendant com pany to make @ payment monthly. As each new set of 90 contracts was se- cured one of the older contracts was to mature and the holder of the con- tract was to receive S1,000. which he was to repay in small installments, which really made the company sim ply a loan concern.
 The complaint is that none of the contracts ever matured. A parallel case to these was heard in the super for court months ago, Mrs. Sarah A. McJennett formerly of New London. being the plaintiff. She secured a judg- ment of within 9 few dollars Of $l,00O.

THE GREATEST THING
 IN THE WORLD.
This is the Love of God, Says Rev. P.
 C. Wright at Evening Service.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that who soever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life" form ed the text for the sermon sunday evening at the Central Baptist church by Rev. P. C. Wright the pastor, upon the theme The Greatest Thing in the World.
 The love of God as expressed in the text was the greatest thing in the world, he declared, thing never to grow old. never to die out, for it was born in the heart of the living God. Men are after truth and the Lord God vii honor the man who honestly seeks to know the truth to do it. Tho love of God is the best thing in the world because it is most like His own self God is a personal spirit, perfectly good. who in holy love creates. sustains and orders all Mans mind is darkened by sin not to see the love of God as ex- pressed in the beauty Of all animate and inanimate creation. but some day when we see not darkly but face to face. we shall understand. Gods love is also the greatest thing in the world because it shows the patience Of God and shines in mercy from age to age. Love gave itself for a world lost but with possibilities Of everlasting life, and rescues me from the ruin to which I am pressing on Seeking beyond the highways and the hedges, it wins me back. The love of God is working out the solidarity of man and it gives hope. Sin leaves the soul darkened and mis- era ble and lost, but the love Of God opens wide the doors of hope. sympa- thy and strength, and in the hour when all human help fades away, then the love of God comes into the soul opening to visions beyond the mind of man to see. Hope leads to the crown of glory. Is the love of God. the best thing in the world, in your heart?

FREE DELIVERY SERVICE
 FOR MYSTIC AND DANIELS SON. Petitions Lodged With Postoffice De- partment by Congressman Higgins Soil Survey for This County.
Special to The Bulletin.)

tSpeclal to The bulietln-J
 Washington, Jan. Representative Higgins has lodged with the postoffice department a petition for the estab- hshment of free delivery service in Mystic, and has asked the department to send an inspector to investigate. The receipts of the Mystic postoffice are now large enough, under the rules and regulations of the department. to warrant regular city delivery for that place, but of course the patrons of the service must see to it that the streets are all named, the sidewalks in good condition and the houses numbered. This is what the inspector will inves- tigate
 MT. Higgins has also filed an appli- eaton for free delivery service at Dan Ielson, where the conditions are the same as at Mystic. Mir. Higgins hopes to get the department to allow both offices to start this service The de- mandS upon the postoffice department for the establishment of free delivery are numerous. however, and it gener- ally takes considerable time for the officials to determine each case.
 Soil Surveys for This County.
 Representative Higgins has request ed the secretary of agriculture to au- thorize a soil survey of all of New London county during the coming sea- son. Last spring MT Higgins secured :" SCi " oi " ihuildAi county, put lho report has not yet been completed. It will probably be finished early this spring, and it is expected will prove very valuable and instructive to farm CTS and others.
 In recent years most of the appro- priation for soil surveys has been spent in the south and west. During the last year only two New England counties have been surveyed, one be- ing Windham county and the other Plymouth county, Massachusetts. There now seems a good chance to have a survey made of New London county
