insane Man Causes Panic

A congregation composed of women and children at St. Mary's church Fri day morning were thrown into panic by the strange and threatening actions of William Twomey, who was later de- clared 10 be insane. Women and chill dren ran screaming from the church, hid under the benches, and became ex- cited and alarmed from fear Of person. al violence to themselves and to their beloved pastor,
 Twomey occupied seat we'll for mass, while the stations of the cross was in progress Twomey followed Fa- ther Van den Noort about. When at the sixth station Twomey was seen to reach into his pocket take out hand kerchief and it appeared to those who saw the action that he took from the handkerchief a revolver. The alarm was given and there was general stampede. The congregation fled to the doors and the priest to the altar and out through this exit followed by Twomey.
 It was just before nine o'clock that the police were notified that a desper- ate man was at the church and Cap tain Murray started for the scene. lie told man in the office to send an au- tomobile after him if he could find one and when he was on Bridge street En- gineer Perry's machine, driven by John Macdonald, overlook him. Speed laws were disregarded in reaching the church, but the man had gone. F. NJ. LeClair said he would know the man if he saw him again and was asked to get into the machine which proceeded down Providence and Elm streets. When near the Twenty foot LeClair shouted, "There he is'' as a man was seen near May street. The captain had the tonneau door open and as the machine slowed up at the curb, jump ed out and pinioned Twomey's arms. The prisoner was placed on the back seat guarded by the captain and Super intend of Streets Dumas, who was also in the machine, and he was locked up.
 He was taken into the city court and the case was adjourned to Saturday morning. During the interim investi- gation was made and no one could be found who could say to certainty that they saw revolver. None was found on Twomey and he said he never owned one. It is believed that the pistol was imaginary. Blanche Mignault, 13, Mary Smith, H, and Mildred Warren, l5, testified to Two mey's strange actions and the flight of the congregation but none of them could say that they saw revolver. The case was continued a week and Twomey placed in charge of the proba ton officer. He was later examined as to his sanity and committed to the Norwich State Asylum. He does not claim any particular place as his resi- dence. He has lived in Brooklyn, Pomfret, East Thompson and wooster. He was never naturalized and the final disposition of the case will be made by the governor.
 Twomey has had several escapades in this city. He was arrested for talk ing off his clothing on front lawn, throwing money about the streets, go- ing to rest in public places and several other harmless but annoying transgres- sions. He is harmless looking man and sat and smiled in the court room during the proceedings but could not be inductd to talk about what he had done other than to say he had no re- yolver and never would harm anyone.

There was no contest over the offices, the same officers, with q few exceptions In the minor offices, be- ing reelected. Then there was no vote on the license question so that there was little interest AS the outcome was a foregone conclusion and nothing was done to get out the vote. ASA votes were cast and 49 of these were illegal which reduced Ithe vote | 10 per cent. 20 ballots were cast with out a mark of any kind on them and % were wrongly marked. There were PA straight republican ballots and l26 straight democratic ballots.
 On the question of Constitutional amendments l97 voted for the amend ment effecting the adjournment of the legislature to 40 No. On the amend ment concerning powers of the Lieu tenant Governor 197 voted Yes to 33 No.
 The business meeting was adjourned for two weeks. This was done so that the matter of appropriations may be acted upon more intelligently. It is the intention to have budget of the necessary appropriations made up so that a suitable tax can be levied to meet the expenditures. It also avoids the commotion heretofore experienced by holding the meeting while voting was going on.

Congregational charch Notes

The third visit of the choir to the Worcester Festival took place Friday of last week, and was enjoyed hy all. As customary the Hotel Warren was their headquarters. Dinner was served at private table in the grill room at 6 o'clock. The concert was thoroughly appreciated, and the benefit derived will be seen in the work of the choir in the year to come. Returning to the hotel the choir went to the room of MT. and Mrs. Williams, where tables had been arranged for ice cream and cake. After the cream had been served Miss Gladys K. Williams was found to be without spoon, and the di- rector and his wife supplied the want with two silver dessert spoons suitably engraved, and shower, in recognition of her approaching wedding, was con tinued by gold coin from the "boysn of the choir, and articles of linen from each of the "girls.p Midnight had died of old age before the party went to their various rooms. With all the happiness of the evening there was n deep undertinge of regret that the coming Sabbath was to be the last in which one of their most popular and valued members would be associated with them. The party was AS follows: Mary II. Daniels Myra Ellis
 NJ. Gladys Murfey Fredelle R. Randall Margery Burgess Gladys k. Williams Harlie l Corbin Hattie c. Inman
 Fife C. fnman Harold $. Corbin Christobel Clifford Merrill Paine
 Gladys Farmer John A. Morse, Jr. Josephine Clifford Wallace Smith

 MT. and Mrs. l.. o. Williams The singing by the choir last Sunday morning was unusually good, and the three solos by Miss Williams were lis- tened to with more thar usual appre- citation, for while few knew that her marriage was to occur that day, many were aware that 1t was the last service in which her beautiful voice would be heard.
