Interesting Convention of the Connec-

Interesting Convention of the Connec-
 ticut Union at Meriden.
 The convention of the Connecticut Woman's Christion Temperance Union held in Meriden, had large attendance of delegates.
 The down-pours of rain interfered somewhat with the public meetings, but, as the president put it, "the members were not to be frightened by an over dose of their own beverage.
 On the first evening there was held @ diamond medal contest. which was in- tensely interesting. There were five of Mystic. winner Of the gold medal at Danbury last year. The successful con- testant at Meriden was Wm. Andrews, of Wilhmantic. Of course the subjects all related to temperance, but the de cision was based on excellence of voice, articulation, gesture, memory and gen. eral effect. N.# r.ss tf
 On Wednesday evening there was an address by Clinton Howard of Rochester, N. Y He has the reputation of being one of the leading temperance orators His subject was "War on the licensed liq ,.'r traffic. ,5,
 Mrs. Ella Boole, president of the New York State Union. addressed the conven. tion on ''The Maine Oampaign-Was it worth the efort?"
 Dr. Wilbur Crafts, of the Reform Bureau, and Mr. Emil Hohenthal, were also speakers.
 Mrs. Buell. gave the annual address re- hearsing come of the difficulties enoount. cred the past year and making sugges- tions for future work.
 From sketch of Mrs. Buell. given in Meriden paper we quote the following:
 Mrs. Buell. is a vlgorous thinker and writer. Upon the platform she is mod est and womanly, clear and logical reasoner. and commands the closest at tention of her audiences. In disposition she is gentle, and reserved in her man. ner of a religious nature her instincts naturally seek the right and from 1t she could not be swerved. She is true New Englander of May Flower stock and possesses the Yankee equipoise under all circumstances"
 The children's department, the Loyal Temperance Legion was represented by Company A, of Meriden-some of the members singing and giving recitations.
 There were no changes in state officers, except that of treasurer. Mrs. Denison. who has held that office for nine years, resigned and was presented by the con- eention with a diamond pin, in recogni- ton of her valuable services.

AUTO SMASH
New York Driver Slams Into Side ot
 Parsons Store.

New York Driver Slams Into Side of
 Parsons Store.
 Coming down Railroad street at a rapid clip Sunday afternoon, an auto mobile driven by a New York man named filling, swerved suddenly to the right, in front of Walters meat market, and smashed into the side of Parsons store with such force that the spokes of the forward wheels were splintered, the front axle was bent, the mud-guard commission. The driver was thrown from his seat, but tniraculously escaped with no more serious injury than a sprained wrist. The impact ripped the siding from the store building. made a deep dent in the heavy sill and knocked some chips from the foundation stones.
 Stories differ as to the cause of the accident. It is asserted that filling had let go his hold on the steering wheel in order to flap" his hands to warm them, and that at the fast rate at which he was travelling he was unable to get con- trol after the machine began to swerve. filling himself is said to have given the explanation at the Bullock garage where the auto was taken and left for repairs, that the steering gear was out of order and played trick on him. He said he was not running fast at the time, though the condition of both the auto and the building would seem to indicate that when they came together eith 1T the machine or the building was going some."
 Persons who saw the outfit coming down the state road from Ashley Falls N were impressed with the reckless speed with which it was swallowing up the road. and remarked that in some places, where the law is observed, the driver would find himself facing a court if he attempted such speed, It was fortunate that DO pedestrians happened to be on the sidewalk where the accident hap pened~at the time.
 Postmaster Holt was at his desk in the postoffice located in the farther sid } of the next building, when. the crash cLme, and the noise of the collision to- gether with the violent jar, made his desk shake, and he ju umped up to zee what unusual thing had happened,

Resolutions on w. n. Canfield's Death
 At a stated communication of Housa- tonic Lodge, No. 6l, F. and A. M, held in their lodge rooms Thursday evening, these resolutions were adopted
 Whereas, death has again entered the ranks of our mystic circle, and another star in our constellation has laid aside his working tools here on earth and crossed the dark river to that country from whose bourne no traveller ever returns.
 Brother Canfield, although young in years and in Masonry, had by his en- gazing manners and genial disposition, won for himself firm and everlasting memory in the hearts or his brethren. While we cherish his memory we shall miss his cordial greeting and brotherly hand-grasp which made us feel that we were meeting a true brother and while we mourn his departure we rejoice in the thought that he is beyond the pain and suffering of this world and has entered the rest that remains for the faithful. And it is
 Resolved, in Lodge assembled, that these resolutions as adopted be entered on the records of the Lodge, and a copy, duly expressed, be transmitted to our late brothers widow.

DESTROYING THE LIQUOR
Barrels and Bottles Galore Emptied
 Into the Sewer

Into the Sewer
 Friday morning. in Judge Ford's tribunal. the court gave orders for the destruction" of the liquors confscated from the raided dealers in "LitJle Italy" and the state police lost no time in setting about destroying the stuff. There were several cases of beer, kegs and barrels containing whiskey and wine, and the whole precious accumu- lation was sacrificed. The process of destruction" consisted in pouring it into the sewer, and there may be some question as to whether bad liquor is really destroyed by pouring it into the sewer. The former owners, who were heavily fined for violation of the liquor laws, did not finger in the neighEorhood of the Town Hall to see their goods destroyed but, as one spectator re- marked, There's plenty more where that came from"

HALLOWEEN FRANKS.
Ghosts and Goblins Galore Pile Things
 Up Promiscuous.

Ghosts and GobIins Galore Pile Things
 Up Promiscuous.
 The Halloween ghosts, goblins, witch es and boogie-men had just such time as the parrot had with the cat, Tuesday night, judging from the appearance of the streets yesterday morning. The center of the village looked as if an able bodied cyclone on a glorious drunk had arrived.
 All along. on both sides ofMain street, wreckage and disorder strewed theway, and the astonishing transpositions of all kinds of portable property-gates, sign boards, wagons, piano boxes, etc.-was something impressive. r@..-s
 Particular attention had been paid to the garnishing of the front of Judge Ford's music store, where a choice and carefully assorted collection of boxes, cart t-wheels, fence posts, iron gates, oil barrels, scrap-iron, wheelbarrows, and kindred and sundry articles of junk and bric-a- brac made heap that reached up to the second-story windows.
 The roof over the stoop in front of Wigglesworth's tin shop was embellish- ed with Q choice collection of similar stuff the fronts of Parsons store and the postoffice building were artistically adorned with embellishments that added strikingly to the general architectural effect and gave conclusive evidence of hard and conscientious work on the part of the muscular ghosts and goblins.
 Some jocular spook had transferred Jeweler Allyn's big watch sign to the front of Jeweler Collins store, and placed above it big sign setting forth the luxury of smoking Peter Schuyler cigars--inquire within. A number of Whitfora's massive signboards were de- posted at intervals along the walks, where they wouldn't do the most good, and everywhere there was unmistakable evidence of ghostly attention.
 One reprehensible feature was the breaking off of one of the stone hitching posts, from the sidewalk in front of Parsons store, This looked too much like malicious mischief to be enjoyable. though it may have been done by acci- dent. But all in all it was great night for the ghosts.

Thirtieth Wedding Day of Mir. and Mrs.
 Frank Goodwin Observed.


 The thirtieth anniversary of the mar riage of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Goodwin was observed, Saturday evening, at their home on Rood street. The affair was a complete surprise to MT. and Mrs. Good win, and the successful manner in which It was carried out was highly creditable to the friends and neighbors who pro- noted it. MT. Goodwin and wife were inveigled to the home of Charles Rood, on some pretext, early in the evening, and when they returned home they found their door.yard and the side of the street thronged with automobiles and teams, and the house crowded with a merry throng of friends from far and near. AS the couple had received not the slightest intimation of any such do- ings, their surprise was complete.
 There were nearly hundred guests in the assemblage, and the evening was pleasantly passed. Congratulations were showered upon Mr. and Mrs. Good win who were the recipients also of num- erous valuable gifts, useful and orna- mental, including a handsome sum in cash. ~ A beautiful supply of refresh ments had been provided and all par took heartily. It was we'll along toward the little hours when the party dis persed, each wishing Mir, and Mrs. Good win many happy returns of the day.

THE COON CAME DOWN
But Defied the Marksmen for Two
 Solid Hours.

But Detisd the Marksmen for TWO
 Solid Hours.
 The second grand coon hunt of the season was pulled off, Thursday night, by the first class in Astronomy, and netted one coon weighing somewhere around 21 pounds. The cast of char acters included Henry B. Ives, guide ; Ned Roberts. bush beater i; Walter A. Goggin, silencer G. A. Adam, range finder; Tom Sweeney. master of hounds ; Tim Sweeney, advance agent; Walter Hayes, lantern bearer Albert Toussaint, executioner. ...-.-a 4 ,e. ~a
 This aggregation struck into the forest somewhere above the reservoir, with the Sweeney dog ahead. It was not far from ten o'clock when the fren- zied barking of the dog apprised the party that it had 8 coon up tree, some where near the apex of the hill. Follow ing the sound, the advance guard found that the coon had picked out big tree in the most inaccessible section of the mountain, and taken refuge among the topmost branches. After a laborious climb the main body of the expedition succeeded in reaching the spot, where the dog continued to try to bark his head of, and the coon could be distinct ly seen outlined against the dim. moon. lit sky. It was then discovered that there wasn't & gun in the party. but somebody produced horse-pistol and blazed away at the coon. The animal simply grinned. After 8 number of futile shots Toussaint volunteered to climb up and either kick the coon of the limb or shoot him to death. He took off his shoes and started up. At height of about 175 feet he halted, took a position in crotch of the tree, within Habout 20 feet of the coon, and began to shoot. Every time he shot, the coon grinned After shooting away box of cartridges, he let down rope and another consignment was sent up to him. After he had fired 43 shots, Archie Adam appeared on the scene. He had lIOhLu bAA0 Sbb ID huu climbed the mountain to investigate And he had brought his gun along. With this heavier weapon the fasillade grew hotter. and finally the coon let go and tumbled down through the branch es, striking the ground stone dead. Ives intimated that the animal died of fright. Roberts insisted he had laughed him. self to death. Toussaint gritted his teeth and said nothing. Any way, the coon was dead, and as it was then o'clock the next morning, the expedition started l tor home. There isn't mucn more to tell. The coon was presented to Sheriff Rhoades. who found, when he came to undress it, that it was full of bullet holes, from one end to the other, and the | theory is that the animal was dead long before it was knocked loose from the entangling branches by heavy rifle ball.

GRAND JURORS ACT.
Find Probable Cause and Hotel Pro-

prietor is Fined.
 The whole town has been stirred up to 8 frenzy of excitement and split into bitterly partisan factions by the develop ments in the liquor precautions which came to head on Monday, when the services of States Attorney Donald T |. Warner were invoked and ''court of inquiry before the grand jurors was held for the taking of testimony bearing upon the matter of sales at the hotel and elsewhere in the village.
 Constable l. P. Hornbeck of Falls Will lage was called into commission and given about twenty five subpoenas to serve on that nnmber of witnesses, in cluding some of the most prominent men i'll the business life of the town, who might be able to tell whether they had ever seen any person who had ever said he had heard anybody speak of having seen somebody who had bought a drink at the hotel or elsewhere. The serving of these summonses caused a pTOlOuuu S6uShLIOup dAN buO ps@A1ACS SAAA- moned gave expression to some pro- nounced sentiments whiIe assembled in the auditorium of the town hall await ing their respective turns to appear be- fore the august tribunal in the probate office down stairs, where they were ex- amined, in rotation.
 The grand jurors-Messrs George S.. Cunning Anson A. Lawrence and George Van Deusen-sat during the forenoon, and for time in the afternoon. As one result probable cause was found in the case of Landlord Baker, and he appeared before Justice Ford and pleaded guilty on five counts, paying fine of $25 on each count. which, with costs. amounted to $l92 45.
 The taking of evidence before the grand jurors was continued after the hotel case was disposed of, and adjourn ment was taken to next Monday, when the hearing will be continued, and further sensational developments are hinted at-
