CHELSEA WiTHSTOOD
 GROUNDING IN FINE SHAPE.
Inspectors Surprised That She Sus- tained So Little Damage Under the Conditions.

Local Agent F. " Knouse of the steamer Chelsea has just received his official report of the grounding of that steamer last Monday afternoon on the Sunken Meadows Tn the fog. She was ffoated on Wednesday afternoon about 4.40 o'clock, and since then has been examined in drydock at Jersey City. In the report of the inspectors they ex- press their great surprise that 1t has been possible for a vessel of the Chel- seas size to ground on solid rock and be ffoated off again, sustaining so little damage as is shown.
 The necessary repairs for the boat have been ordered by the company and 1t is expected that the steamer can be back and running again in five or six days
 The report mentions with approval the discipline shown on the boat when she grounded, as there was no excite rnent, and the 30 passengers were quickly taken ashore in launches pro- v;ded by the company and sent to New York by rail. reaching there safe and sound about two hours after the acci- oent happened
 The steamer Thames, which is the freight boat of the line. is filling the Cheisea's place until the latter is run ming again.

by Rev. Hugh Treanor-Women of Parish to Form New SodaIty.

To offset the Holy Name society re- gently organized in St. Patriclcs par ish, application blanks were distribut- ed on Sunday for a woman's society. to be known as the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin. At the high mass the rector, Rev. Hugh Treanor. preached from the epistle for tie day, Philip. iv, 4-7, choosing as his text, 'The Lord is Nigh"
 This nearness of God. a fact too often forgotten, is a consoling assur- ance of sustaining help. while it should have a deterrent effect upon mortals terndted to do evil Short-sighted indi . viduals fail to see themselves as part of q great plan. it's end it's beginning God. The beautiful lessons of St. Paurs admonition were pointed out most convincingly.
 In his reference to tho Holy Name society, which starts with the real rep- resentative men and practical Cath plies of the parish. Father Treanor de- clared that he expected each member to do missionary work in the cause bringing in other hundreds who need enrolment in such an organization.

STONY BROOK WAFER RIGHTS
Proceedings Insuted by Water Board Asanst C. S. John
 and Others- Judge Shumway Appraise the Dam

the application was deferred until this time because it was impossible to de- termine until recently that the board could not agfee with them on an amount. Great effort was made to reach an agreement if possible for the purpose of saving expense. There was fully a dozen with whom settlement was made It IS understood that there are a number who fear that the brook will be wiped out of existence which it is claimed as a matter of fact that it will not It may be reduced in size. but the overflow of the reservoir as we'll as all waters below the dam will continue down that course.
 The action in this matter is similar to that brought against J. Raymond Palmer during the fall.

THE IMPRESSIONS OF
 A LIFE, THE TOPIC
Rev. P c. Wright Considers the Greatest Crown of Any Life Is to Make an Impression cn Life of This World.

Sunday evening at the Central Zap tist church the congrega tfon was .,ne of the largest at this series of DO; IL lar services and the special singer for itone of the Barleten quartette of Boston He was heard in two solos, It Is Enough, from Elijah, and Come Unto Me (Ccenen), displaying an ex : pressive voice uf well rounded tones under easy control and noticeably fine enuncia+ion, which made his singing a pleasure.
 The sermon by the pastor, Rev. ?. c. Wright, was upon the tf eme. The Impressions of a Life. in which ne de- clared he considered 1t the greatest crown of any life that it should make en impression upon the life of this world. and, that it should be our high est ambition so to live as to make an impression upon men that shall be Hbidlng. Three things that ought to be characteristic he mentioned as nec- essary in life if it IS to make an impression upon life The first. is its Gospel of Jesus Christ comes in to give Us the highest ideals. Second. our ideals must be translated into convic- ticn. The man who hasn't conviction does not impress lis life upon any one to any great extent. Thirdly. our ideals and convictions must rule to the extent that they shall bring our whole life under their control We must make our lives square with our ideals and our convictions If they are uplilt of those whom we impress.
 Rev. Mir. Wright prefaced his sermon with a few remarks about the writ ing of anonymous letters, mentioning that he had received one this week. asking him to preach upon a certain subject. Anonymous letters, he said. seemed to be a frailty of humanity, and also an exhibition of cowardice-

THE NICHOLS HOME
 GETS MUCH NoToRIETY.
constabIss Make Raid and the Owner
 is Presented in Court.

In the town court of Stonington on Saturday morning Frank Nichols, whose wife was recently taken to Brewster's Neck asylum after a vain attempt to coInpiit suicide, was fined for harboring. keeping and using fe- male for purposes of prostitution, and Archibald J. Robinson, who has been prominent in musical social circles of Mystic of late. failed to appear to an- swer to a similar charge. and his bond of $500 was called, says the New Lon don Day.
 Incidentally also Sarah Mccormick. 20 year old daugL.ser of Philip McCor- mick of Stonington borough, was pre- scented on q charge of being an un- married female between the nge of IS and 21. in danger of falling into habits of vice and of leading an idle and vic- ious life. She was comnlitted to House April 20, 1910, was recently let out on probation. With approval of her father and cour officials she was re- committed to that institution.
 The court proceedings grew out of a raid made Thursday night by Con- stables William Foley and Charles J. Ledwith at Nichols home. Ii is stated that hey found Nichols on a couch downstairs, and in an upper room to- gether the Mccormick girl and Rob fnson, both scantily clad. A hearing was to have been held Friday morning, but was put over until Saturday, and Nichols went on Robinson's bond for $500. Robinson was seen in New Lon don at II o'clock Friday night. it is stated. but failed to put in an appear ance at court. and Deputy Sheriff Broughton called his bond. The case has been reported to Attorney Hull, it is said, and he may take some action in it.
 When court opened and it was found Robinson was not present, Nich- ols case was called In addition to the charge stated above there were two other counts against him. but these were nolled. Prosecuting Attor- ney Benjamin H. Hewitt in his state ment to the court after Nichols had pleaded guilty. declared that he con- sidered Robinson chiefly too blame, as he came to Nichols house after leav- ing the last car from Stonington in company with the Mccormick girl. He represented to Nichols that the girl was hungry and without shelter and Nichols, an easy going man, was persuaded to tawe them in- Attorney Hewitt recommended fine Of $15 and costs. which the court imposed IL was also recommended that no action be taken on the bond at this time and that recommendation was also fol- lowed. Attorney Clarence Roche of Westerly appeared for Nichols.
 The Mccormick girl was represent ed by Attorney Herbert w. Rathbun and her father was appointed her guardian ad liten. She 100, pleaded guilty to the charge alleged against her and was recommitted to the Hart ford institution for the remainder of her minority.
 Last May Robinson brought suit in the superior court against Miss Lucy Haley for s25,000. The suit was based on what is known in legal terms as common counts. and is a matter of contracts, 1t is said, though details were to be given when an amended complaint was filed later. which has not yet been done. It ir admitted however, that breach of promise fig ures in the case
