Improvement of Pawcatuck River Advocated -Lawless
 Soldier Pays for Insolence-Rev. A. H. Robinson
 Wins Bride in Lynn-Home of James Murphy
 Burs1arized.

Liltst.-Col. Harry Taylor, in charge of the United States engineers office at New London, in his annual report to the chief of engineers of United States army, mskes this reference to improvement of Pawcatuck river, Rhode Island and Connecticut:
 No work of improvement in the Pawcatuck river or the channel across Little Narragansett bay was done dur. Ing the fiscal year except the removal of ledge opposite Pawcatuck Point, At the mouth of the river by the T. A. Scott company, under an agreement, and the removal of few scattering powders by the same company Tn completing their dredging contract. This work was completed September 10 1909. A careful survey of the ledge area was made, and the required depth of ten feet was found to have been obtained. A channel ten feet deep and 100 feet wide from Stonington Point to deep water at the mouth or the Pawcatuck river has been obtained, except portion of the natural chan mel about 1000 feet west of Folly bea- con- where for a distance of about 700 feet the depth is slightly def- cient.
 The project for the improvement of this river provides for a channel ten feet deep from Stonington, Conn.,, to Westerly, R. l., with a width of 200 feet from Stonington to Avondale, R. l.. a distance of about four miles; width of 100 feet from Avondale to the lower wharves at Westerly, dis tance of about three miles, and width of forty feet between the upper and lower wharves at Westerly, a dis tance of about half a mile. at cost estimated in the beginning at s200,- 361.60. Under this project a section of the channel forty feet wide has been completed to the full depth along the wharves of Westerly, the 100- foot channel has been extended down. stream 1,S00 feet, and 8. channel through Little Narragansett bay 100 feet wide and ten feet deep, extend- ing upstream to within 2,000 feet of the channel dredged downstream from westerly, has been obtained with the exception of the deficiencies ill depth referred to. This 100-foot channel is ening.
 The present channel appears to have met the demands of commerce very satisfactorily, and on account of the narrow width between the wharves at Westerly there is little probability that much larger class of vessels that now navigate the riv- CT will able to navigate it regard less of what width of channel is ob- tained across Little Narragansett bay, and under the existing conditions the essary to obtained the increased width is unadvisable.
 The commercial statistics for the calendar year, 1909, as furnished by shippers and receivers in Westerly, are: Coal, 5o,072 short tons: Lumber, -so2; paving blocks, 7,542; sand and clay. 1,0os; meat and groceries, 300;

NEW HOTEL GARDE.
Will Be Nine Stories-New Haven to
 Have $75o,o00 Structure.

It was stated recently by Walter Garde, owner of the Hotel Garde at Medow street and Columbus avenue Meadow street and Columbus avenue New Haven, that he has changed his plans about the reconstruction of his present hotel and will, instead, tear the building down and replace it with an entirely new structure. It is to be of limestone and brick front with rooming capacity of about TOO people
 MT. Garde said that as soon as pos sible he was going to put up $780, 900, nine-story structure on the pres ent site of the Hotel Garde at Mead ow street and Columbus avenue The talk in the change of the location of the station somewhat west from the layout which he had originally calcu- lated upon, might affect his ideas so as to change his front from Meadow street to Columbus avenue. But he has now determined to tear down the whole Hotel Garde and to put up a modern structure there. with from 400 to 500 rooms, strictly up to date
 The building will have roof gar den and the structure will be modelled somewhat after the Hotel Astor in New York; The only hesitancy, MT. Garde said, was to see as to just what street the hotel should properly front on.

The insurance man stopped, took hold of the soldier and was talk ing to him in way that was em phatic. when three more soldiers came from the direction of CoggsweH street. The appearance of his comrades gave the soldier courage and he suddenly seized the other fellow and summoned his comrades at double quick time.
 This movement brought fear to the insurance solicitor and he slipped from his coat and ran across the bridge and up Broad and High streets with the soldier in close pursuit, with the coat of the pursued in hand.
