Special Correspondence Of The Star
ROCKVILLE. Nd, February 80, 1911.
The next few months promise to be
strenuous for the Montgomery county
politicians. About the middle Of the sum-
mer both parties will nominate candi-
dates for associate judge. states attorney,
sheriff. the house of delegates, county
commissioners and county surveyor. The
republicans are not, as yet, manifestins
very much interest in matters political,
at least so far as nominations are con-
cerned, but the democrats are already up
and doing. and the indications are that
the primary contests among the numer-
GUS 'Barkises" in that party will be de-
cidedly lively and interesting.
There is believed to be little doubt that
Judge Edward c. Peter will be nominated
by the democrats for full term of fiji
teen years to succeed himself. Although
he has been upon the bench but a few
months, he having been appointed by Gov.
Crothers upon the expiration of Judge
Hendersons term last fall to serve until
the election of 1911 he has. it is asserted,
made good" and there seems to be Il
general feeling among the members of
his party that he should be named for
the full term.
The announcement by States Attorney
Bowie r. Waters that he will not seek a
denomination will, 1t is thought, result in
the warmest kind of a fight for the demo-
cratic nomination for the office of prose-
cutting attorney. Former States Attor-
ney Alexander Kilgour and w. Outer
bridge Spates have already announced
their candidacy and have begun to move
around among the voters in quest of sup
port 1t is thought likely that before
very long Clifford H. Robertson and
Emory II. Bogley, and possibly J. Abby
Henderson. will be In the field, and there
may be others.

Elremen's CIambake

Mansfield Hose company, No. 3, 3,heid their first clambake and outing at Phillips Grove, on the north shore of Alexander's Lake last Sunday. The camp consisted of three large tents, the tables being set out of doors under the pines. Red, white and blue bunting, small American flags and Japanese lanterns were freely used, making a very pretty effect with it's background of green.
 About ten members spent Saturday night in camp, and were fed like princes by Chef Fuller, who had charge of the culinary department. Early Sunday morning a fishing party of two left camp, Tourtellotte in the stern and Adams at the oars. The craft proved .unseaworthy, and as most of the ballast was in the stern it began to settle. "Pull, Adams! Pull for the shoreh shouted Pop, and Adams did pull, but notwithstanding he used all his strength and the boat grounded on high speed, Pop .was sitting waist deep in the water. Enough hot air was blown at him by the rest Of the camp to speedily dry of his wet cloth- ing.
 Al II o'clock a lunch of chowder and fried eels was served. Al p. m. the big bake twas ready and about forty partook of the following menu: Baked clams, potatoes, onions, clam fritters, holsters, lettuce, pickles, chow chow, white and brown bread, soda and ci- gars. Everything was done to turn, and even the chef, who likes to see the boys eat, was satisfied with the appetites they brought with them.
 The entire party was photographed by Morse, also Joe Maynard's auto zoe ing 50 miles, more or less, an hour, ,and carrying the heads of the department The weather was ideal and it has be- come established by long custom that when No. has an outing the weather man hands out one of his best days.3

Ready for Road Building

The city is now we'll equipped to build its own reads and repair those already built. With the stone crusher and road roller now in commission the citizens will expect to see the highway committee carry out their plan of building good and substantial roads throughout the city. It will not all be done at once, but the work will go steadily on and the benefit to the city will be inestimable,
 From all points of the compass the main travelled rosds to the city line are for the most part in excellent con dition. As the ease and comfort in travel to and from the business section of the city advances, trade will in- crease. Good roads are the most valu- able asset of any municipality, state or country, and the work of improve ment along this line is nation wide. The crusher is on the Potter lot near Farrows street, and enough stone is on the ground to keep 1t going for three weeks at this one place. It has ca pacity of 100 tons per day of 10 hours.

The special feature was the Firemen's $ minstrels. The large audi ence was generous with applause and there was plenty of opportunity for them to give vent to their feelings of appreciation.
 Billy Brennan was clearly at home in the role of interlocutor and handled his end of the joke talk and made the announcements with the ease land grace of veteran. The ends were a lively quartette, MessFs. Duffy, Perry, Coffee and Smith, and their songs were sung to encore and their jokes were new and pointed. The ballodists, Messrs. Sharpe, Morse and Corbin, were also well received and the chorus was of good volume Everyone pro- nounced the show exceptionally good for home production.
 Manager Merrill had also secured some exceptionally good pictures and his generosity in donating half the pro- ceeds to the hospital is greatly appre- ciated

Freed from Accusations

Emeen Sliby, missionary worker among the Syrians of the state, was freed from charges of attempted arson, conspiracy and murder, by the Supe- rior court at Bridgeport recently. He was discharged without even trial as the state considered there was no case against him.
 Mir. Sliby is we'll known in this city where he spent some time few years ago and had class of Syrians which met in a local church. lie was highly respected by all who knew him. He has felt his position keenly and wishes his friends to know of his vindication.
 The following facts were responsible for suspicion falling on MT. Sliby: Najib Haddad, aged l9, of Williman- tlc, entered into conspiracy with Nicholas Haddad to burn store in Bridgeport. When the police entered the store the boy shot at them and was arrested. MT. Sliby had helped him, so he wrote to him from the jail. In the communication the prisoner wrote statements incriminating MT. Sliby as follows: "The appointment we made with Mir. Nicholas Haddad" The letter was written in Syrian and trans lated into English before it left the prison. It was through thls commu- nieatian that MT. Sliby was brought into the case. MT. Sliby states that the interpreter made other mistakes, making the letter to read, "I know that it is within your power to help me-" and II followed your instruc- tionsn
 It was found MT. Sliby had nothing | to do with the matter.

To Repair Road

Automobilists who frequent the road between this city and Providence, and they are many, will be interested in the following from Providence paper
 A request was presented to the state board of public roads at it's regular meeting at the capitol Wednesday that the stretch of road running from Che pachet to Putnam, Conn.,, be fixed up.
 This road was a part of the original plan adopted about 1903 by the assem- bly, and it was then understood that these main lines would be constructed before others were built.
 The board was informed Wednesday that the roadway was in dangerous condition and should be attended to at once. The board has not done any thing to this part of the road, 1t is said, and it is desired to have it completed, as it is a trunk line to Putnam, and is the shortest road between Providence and Springfield.
 This piece of road has long been the terror of autoists, and they will rejoice if the Rhode Island legislature speed- fly grants the prayer of the petitioners.

Three Thrown from Wagon

Armand Trahan, IS, Rosaliel Beau soleil, 15, and Edmond Durand, IT, were thrown from wagon near the Fair grounds Sunday afternoon and all more or less shaken up and hurt. Beausoleil was so badly hurt that he had to be brought to Joys stable on a trolley and from there taken to his home on Battey street in a carriage. A small bone in his leg was broken and he was badly bruised. The other boys were able to get home alone and are all right now except for lameness which will soon wear off.
 Trahan was driving the horse deliv- ering papers for Chaunrey Talbot. He has been on the route for nine years and this is his first accident. The route had been nearly covered and only five papers remained to be de |. livered to customers south of the city. The boys were driving along near the trolley track when a car came from be- hind them and the horse became frightened. He reared and plunged as the car passed and then he was given | little rein so that he would go ahead.
 He got the bit in his teeth and all three boys couldn't hold him. He swerved to the left and took the bank up onto the car track. The boys left the wagon here, one at time, doing double somersaulrs. All landed on the car track except Beausoleil who went | out on the other side. The horse con- tinued down the track and was stopped little way of by man from & near by house. The seat and dasher of the wagon were broken, as was the har. ness. A man from the stable later went for the horse, the boys having had enough for one day. The five papers were delivered by the wind.

Since her arrival there has been an expressed desire for an op- portunity to hear her finely cultivated voice. And for this reason the hall was filled with music lovers. Miss Grosvenor was assisted by MT. George Gulski, pianist, and MT. John Bron. son, vioinist. MT. Gulski showed rare ability, his rendition of Brahms E mi- nor Rhapsody and Moszkowskis Bar carole being highly appreciated. MT. Bronson was heard in an Andante and an Andante and Rondo by Vie niawski.
 While these musicians were heard with pleasure, the interest and enthu- siasm of the evening was centered up- on the numbers given by Miss Gros- venor, her remarkable voice showing the results of intelligent study She achieved the greatest success of the evening in the selection from Paccini's Madame Butterfly, and the Elegie by Massenet.
 It is a source of pride that a singer of such rare excellence is numbered among the children of old Windham county, and her artistic career will be regarded with great interest.
