City C0urt.--Fuller Judge

John Cox and Edward Coxson were before his honor Friday morning. The
 former was given fifty days for intoxi- cation and breach of the peace and the
 latter thirty days for drunkenness. They were hoboes of the old school and
 looked the part and were probably sailing under aliases. The question of fact which confronted the court of ficers alter the regular proceedings were finished, and which to date has
 received no satisfactory explanation, was whether Coxson was Cox's son or
 whether Coxson's son was Cox. How ever, whether or not Coxson was Cox's
 son or Coxson's son was Cox, both Cox and Coxson are now in Brooklyn jail and when Coxson gets out 1t will
 be 20 days before Cox can join Coxson whether Coxson is Cox's son or wheth- CT Coxson's son is Cox.
 George Rowe of New London was ar- ranged before the court Wednesday
 morning and pleaded guilty to drunk
 enness, breach of the peace and assault. He was sentenced to 30 days each on the first and second counts and to 60 days on the third count with costs
 taxed at $35.99.
 Rowe assaulted Alferie Gregoire and
 John Rabbit, employees at Joys livery stable on Front street. Gregoire
 went to nearby saloon last Thursday night about 10.30 o'clock and there
 met Rowe. Rowe asked him to come
 outside and when they got out in the street he began to pummel him cutting | siderably. He was later taken to a
 doctors office where his lip was sewed | up. Rowe later came into the barn and there struck Rabbit in the jaw He left town the same night on a | freight and it was not until Tuesday
 that the police got track of him. The New London police were notified that | the man was wanted as 1t was thought
 that sooner or later he would show up
 at home.
 | They sent word here that they had | the man and .Ofiicer Chaifee went to New London Tuesday afternoon and | brought him back. Rowe was work ing in Livery street restaurant while | here.
 Rowe's story was that the man he
 assaulted came into the restaurant where he was employed and found fault with the service. Afterwards
 when he met the man he was called
 vile names. Having been drinking he
 resented the remarks last Thursday
 night and gave him what he was ach' | ing for.
 This was denied by Gregoire. Rowe | admitted that he was arrested fol fighting in New London about two
 months ago.

Each Thought Other Dead Fifty Years

In going in search of the grave of q friend of his young manhood days,
 w. B. Whittemore of this city, Past Post Commander of A. G. Warner Post, c. A. R., discovered that the friend was alive whom for 46 years he had believed dead. It also disclosed to the friend that MT. Whittemore was still in the land of the living after his friend had believed him dead for the same length of time. The story as told by MT. sWhittemore after his re- turn from a visit to Massachusetts towns last Tuesday was a most re- markable one.
 MT. Whittemore enlisted In Massa- chusetts regiment during the civil war. Before going to the front his regiment was In camp at Readville, near Bos- ton. W While in camp he was visited by friends, and among the party was . young lady with whom he became
 well acquainted before his company was ordered south, and when they lefS she promised to write to him. They corresponded faithfully while MT. Whittemore was at the front and when
 he returned sick and wounded the la- dy nursed him back to health.
 At this time the young people lived
 in Norton, Mass, but Whittemore shortly after moved away. Subse- quently he asked some one that knew the lady how she was and he was told
 that she was dead. The lady also be- lieyed him dead.
 While in Norton Tuesday Whitte- more decided he would seek the grave
 of his friend. He started out after
 making inquiries and finally located
 her sister whom he greatly surprised
 by asking where his friend was buried. Being informed that she was alive and | the mother of family living in Attle-.
 boro, he went to that place. There the two friends met after believing each
 other dead for nearly fifty years. Each | found the other had married and had
 a family, and they talked over old | times and the strange manner In which they had become separated.

Explosion and Fire Cause Panic

A crowd of people gathered at fair
 in the chapel of the Eastford Congre-
 gational church, Wednesday evening,
 were thrown into panic when an all
 cohol lamp exploded and the cry of
 fire was raised. There was general
 stampede for the only exit, children were knocked down and women iost- led but no one was injured from the
 rush. The only person seriously hurt
 was Mrs. Ellery Bartlett whose cloth. ing caught fire and her arm and parts of her body were burned. She is con- fined to her bed. The cooness and prompt action of a number of young men saved the womans life and also the church.
 The alcohol lamp that exploded was used to cook things that were to be served hot for supper. It is thought that some one attempted to fill the lamp while 1t was hot when 1t explo- ded Mrs. Bartlett was sitting close by and some of the burning fluid ig- nited her clothing. A rain coat and
 sweather were wrapped around her and the flames extinguished. The car pet on the stage also caught fire and
 the flames spread rapidly but were ex- tinguished with boiler of water which
 was being used to make lemonade. II was some time before the excitement subsided. The men who acted sc
 promptly to save life and property are
 receiving great deal of praise foI their work.

Italian Laborers Back on Sewer Job

The twelve Italian laborers employ ed by the Connecticut Contracting Company, which Is building the sec ond section of the sewer, went back to work Friday morning after being oil the job since the preceding Monday The men had not received their pay for five weeks and Monday decided fo quit work until they knew where their money was coming from. A represen- tative of the company was in the city Thursday and met the men who were in no pleasant frame of mind. There was great deal of loud talking and gesturing but it being in the native tongue those interested were the only ones who knew what 1t was all about. When it was suggested that new men be put on the job there was apparent a feeling that boded trouble if this was attempted.
 The city, through the corporation counsel, came to the rescue and the men went back to the job with the un- derstanding that the city would guar antee their future wages. As to the arears all the men assigned their claims to the foreman, Tony D'Amato, and he has brought suit to collect them. The papers were served on the company at their office in New Britain Saturday by Deputy Sheriff Holbrook, the writ being returnable in this city. It is understood that the Construction Company have lost money in this sec ton of the sewer which is nearly all solid ledge. The work should be com pleted now in a few weeks. Only a few feet more of pipe will have to be laid to form the connection at Lee street. The city is anxious to have il completed as il is the connecting link between the upper part of the city and the outlet of the sewer. As soon as this is finished connections with the sewer can be made in a large area in the north end of the city.

Struck by Train

The 1925 afternoon express out of Putnam for Worcester struck a team at the West Thompson grade crossing. J. w. Wheeler, commercial traveller for the Boston Dry Goods Com pany of Worcester, was the occupant of the wagon. He was thrown out and in- jured. How bad his injuries are Is not known yet as he is in nearby house and a doctor is making an examina- tion. It is thought that he is not se- riously hurt. The horse was killed and the wagon demolished. The man was coming down the hill headed east. Whether he was asleep or didn't hear the train is not known but the horse walked upon the track directly in front of the onrushing express. That the man was not killed seems miracu- Iona

daughter had been murdered.
1t is certain that no family confer
ence had been arranged, although
Mrs. Beattie had been in distress for
some time over her husbands con-
duct and had had frequent spells OF
weeping.
1t may be that Harry feared his
wife would expose him to the elder
Beattie, and that his father would
cast him off, for the old man was
deeply attached to his daughter-in-

decided on that account to put her
