JOSEPH HoNARTH
 DROWNED IN RIVER.
Was in Swimming Above the Dam
 Alone-Body Found Floating

About 230 o'clock Sunday afternoon the body of Joseph Howarth was found floating in the Shetucket river just north of the Ponemah company's mills by two young men. Victor Davis and Daniel Thompson. The young men were out on the river in a canoe when they saw something floating in the water. On coming nearer to the float. ing object they found that it was the body of a man floating face downward. They lowed the body to the shore and word of the drowning was immediately sent to Medical Examiner Dr. Rush w. Kimball. Dr. Kimba1l arrived shortly after and viewed the body. The body was claimed by Ernest Jones of South A street, and as the drowned man has no relatives in Taftville word was sent to Pawtucket, where his wife resides Permission for the removal of the body was given and Undertaken George Grant took charge of the re-
 mains.
 How MT. Howarth met his death is not known, as it is claimed that he was good swimmer MT. HoWarth was last seen alive about 1 o'clock by Ma poleon Fsurnier and at that time he was prepar ring for a swim The body
 was found up stream a few hundred yards from the place where Mir How aFth entered the water. As there is no current here, the water being below the dashboard, it is thought the body may
 have been blown up stream by the wind
 The mans clothes were found where he undressed and were brought to the place where the body was left on the bank by two boys
 MT. Howarth was about g years old and resided in the Taftvflle boarding house for some time, coming to Taft vile about two years ago. He leaves n0 relatives here. bat is survived by his wife and a son who reside in Paw | tucket. He was employed as a mule spinner in the Ponemah mills and was member of Hugh H. Osgood lodge. l. o. o. F.. N. U., of Taftvtlie. DF. Kimbali decided that it vas a ease of accidental drowning, It is probable that Hewarth was seized with cramps while in swimming.

 WITH BOSTON STRIKERS.
Local TrolIeymen Stand With Connec- ticut Divisions in Passing ResoIu- tions.

At a meeting of the Norwich local of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes on Friday evening. at which President William Barry presided a vote was taken ratifying a resolution which the joint conference board of New England had passed to show their sympathy with the striking elevated railway em- plOyes in Boston.
 The resolution passed by the local stated that the conference board and the division members knew that their brothers in Boston were engaged in bitter struggle for the right and lib- erty that our forefathers struggled for Boston Elevated Railway Company was endeav0ring to defeat the spirit of in dependence and right of organization among 1000 fearless employees. For thiss reason the resolutions condemned the policy of the railway company as unAmeTican and obstructive to the progress of society, and the Norwich local recorded it's purpose to stand with the other eighteen divisions in central and western Massachusetts and in Connecticut in giving moral and financial support for an indefinite pe- riod to the Boston men or until a sat- isfactery settlement had been reached between them and the railway com- pany

 the teachers and pupils under his charge and maintained the public

OVER A HALF TON OF SALMON.
Archibald Mitchell's Great Catch in the Billy Florence Pool on the Rest- geuche River.

Archibald Mitchell. writing a friend on July 4th, said;
 "A salmon is never more beautiful than when just taken out of the water alive I landed beauty which tipped the scales at 40 1-2 pounds last Fri day. It measured AS 1-2 inches long and 25 inches in girth. It was taken on Mitchell fly in the Billy Florence pool, famous spot for large fish when the late Billy Florence fished this pool 20 years ago, He put a mark with brown paint on a rock projecting from the cliff alongside the river to locate where he met with most success.
 Ny attention was called to that brown paint spot on the rock the first time l visited the Restigouche which was with my late friend, John w. Johnson, in 1891; but the rock has crum5led since then. The mark Is now to be seen on the rock, and 1t happened to be just at that spot where I landed the 40 pOunder. 1 have sent the fish away to be mounted and will probably place it on exhibition after I get 1t from the taxidermist, Sixty-four sal mon have fallen to my rod. Anything on this river under 20 pounds is con sidered a small fish. l herewith send copy from our record book of all have taken from 20 pounds up, which is 40 t1sh. weighing as follows, 24 under 20
