OBITUARY.
Charles Ellis.

Charles Ellis, about 81, who for five
weeks has been a patient at the Day
Kimball hospital died at that insti-
tuition Saturday morning. The an
nOuncement of his death caused gem
eral sympathy, as he was a man who
by reason of his many admirable traits
had come to be generally beloved by
the citizens of Putnam, where he had
been a resident for nearly a score Of
years.
1t was about that length of time ago
that Mr.. Ellis came to this city, en-
tering the employ of the Putnam
Wooden company, where he has been
employed as boss carder and where he
was regarded by employers and en-
ployes as a man of whom nothing but
commendable things were to be said.
Mr. Ellis was born in Hampden,
Ne. He lived during the early years
of his life in Belfast, Me- in which
city he obtained his education and
married. He came to Putnam from
Plymouth Mass, where he was fol-
several years with the Plymouth Wool
en- company as overser of the card
ing room, coming from that city to
Putnam.
During his residence here Mr.. Ellis,
while very much appreciated, was not
prominent in a pollucal way, being
primarily a man whose first interest
was in his home. He was not ident-
fed either, to any extent, with frater-
nal organizations, but was valued
member of the Royal Arcanum of this
city
He is survived by his wife, two
daughters, Flora E. of New York and
Evelyn E. of Putnam; a son. Frank
E. of New York, brother Albert c.
of Waterville, Me. and a sister Mrs
L. T. Brown Of New York.

HonOrs for Cushing FERN.
INTENSE COLD.
u Degrees Below Zero Saturday, with
Penetrating Northwest Wind.

The rigOr of a relentless winter such
as is seldom experienced in this lati-
tude, was applied with cruel persist
ency Saturday, when the most bitterly
cold day of the season practically
caused a suspension of business, not
that those who have business to do
were not ready and prepared to do it,
but because the weather conditions
kept all within doors who could pcs
sibly avoid going out to be lashed
by the biting wind and shriveled by
the Arctic temperature. Twelve de-
grees below zero was the early morn
ing mark registered in various parts
of the borough, but the intensity Of
the cold was greatly amplified by
the strong northwest wind, which was
as searChingly merciless as those
winds that sweep the ice fields of the
frozen north At noon in DanielsOn a
thermometer at a home on Mechanic
street registered zero, while one ut
a Broad street residence was showii 3
four below.
All during the day the business Sec
ton was almost deserted, as far as
anyone being out of doors for am
length of time was concerned, and thu
storm got only portion of their usual
Saturday trade.
In considering the extraordinary
cold there We're those who found it a
source for a display Of humor, how
ever. One man related that the mer-
curry in his thermometer had gone so
low that it bent the nail supporting
the lower part of the inst ument. 10
which another replied. "Pshaw! That's
nothing. The mercury in mine went
so low that it not only bent the nail,
but broke it off, letting the thermom-
eter fall to the ground, from where
it crawled under the veranda to ge-
warm"

Sabatina Dibatisto, q, laborer, from
HYDE Park Mass. lost his life Satur-
day morning as the result of an acct
dent at East Thompson. Diabatisto
was one of a crew of laborers loading
sIeepers on a work train near the sta
ton named. DibatstO was standing
near the end of one of the cars when
the locomotive, which had been de-
tached from the train, backed into it
to be coupled on. He did not hear the
warning cry of the foreman to be on
the lookout, and when the impact came
he lost his balance and fell to the
rails, one car passing over his body
across the groin.
Dibatisto was put aboard the ex-
press due in this city at 1926 a. m,
when it came along, with the intention
of sending him to the Day Kimball
hospital, but he was terribly injured
and died in the baggage room of the
local railroad station before he could
be removed to the institution.
Rev. Adrian Dykeman, assistant at
St Mary's church, administered the
last rites of the Catholic church to
the dying man a few minutes before
he expired, the priest answering a hur-
nv call to the station, where, among
the TRUNKS and general equipment Of

his last upon tiny cot.
