The second floor was devoted to the town clerk and judge of probate as at pres ent and the south half of that floor now used by the sewer and water de- partment was used as the police court and for a time as police headquarters as well, with the lookup in a corner room back of the post office. The upper floor was used as the chamber Of the court of common council as at present and the room in the rear now occupied by the highway commission CT was devoted to the Young Mems Library association.
 The original cost of the city hall lot was 919,000 and the cost of construc- ton of the building was $3S,000.
 In former time next to the Law house, on the opposite corner of Union and State streets, stood the Penniman house, built by James Peniman in TITO and occupied iu later days by Asa Out ton and others. This old building was removed in 1850 to permit of the en- Iargement of the grounds of the First Congregational church, then just com pletad. This may serve as 8 pointer for the age of the town clock, remov- ed within a month and replaced by 8 new time-keeper, through the persist ent efforts of Alderman James E. OLeary.

PAsTEUR TREATMENT
To Be Taken by Ray Hurlburt, Who
 Tod Calf Which Had Rabies.

r oG GaT WnlCn f1 aQ hapgGS.
 Following a report from state aII- thorities that the calf killed here this week was suffering from rabies, Ray HUrlbUrt ot Woodstock avenue has gone to New York to receive the Pas teur treatment to prevent the possible development Of the malady from which the calf suffered after being bitten by a. mad dog nearly a month ago.
 The report to Dog Warden Peter Gardner from the physician at Middle town who made the examination for the Ddlf'B head contained the advice that if any person having aibraslons on his hands had been feeding the calf. 1t would bs wise te take the preeaution that Mir. Huriburt has taken, that pos sible infection might be overcome. MT, HuRlburt, whe had been feeding the calf from bis hands, on which the skin is broken, on receipt of this advice left for New York as soon as possible,

 Putnam is now the only cotton man 1facturing center in this part of the state in which operatives have not been notified of an increase of wages in connection with the recent general advance throughout New England. There are four cotton mills within tha city, giving employment to several hundreds of hands.
 The number of books drawn from the Putnam public library during the month of March was 2,157, this being the largest number of books that has been taken out in the history of the library.

Ts proposed extensive improvement in connection with the ferry approach at New London suggests 1t early is tory, The historian says: 'The ferry to Groton as one of standing embar- rasments to the town. The disposition of it from the earliest times has been by leases, varying in terms from one year to fifty years, and in rent from two or tree pounds to two hundred dol lars a year. The ancient ferry wharf was at the head of Water street, near Hallam, a position of manifest ad- vantage when @ sail boat was used as the high ground of Winthrops neck served as q protection from the wind and swell of the waves. It was com- paratively easy, eve in rugged weather to round tho point and run into the smooth water of the cove. Tho width of the river from this old wharf to the ferry wharf in Groton, as measured on the iee with chain, tn February, 17a1, Was one hundred and forty rods,
 Tn 1T94, tho sum of $500 was raised by subscription, and a wharf built at the end of the Parade, which was &C., eepted by the town as the only ferry wharf, Tho width of the river from this point to the opposite shore, as measured 0T ths ice January, 1891. was IA40 AOELLLuA 1AAh lIILy EOIlHt III l6Gls 6 horse or team ferry boat comneno- ed running, Tis was an improvement on Seulling, rowing and sails. but the horse boat was often out of repair, and iR saIis respects iReonVenient and of- fsnsiVe,
 In 1sAs, an arrangement was made by te town with Marc NJ. Comstock, by which he was to have 6 lease of the ferry for ten years on condition that he furnish a ferry boat propelled by steam, Under this lease 8 steamboat was provided seventy feet long, thirty five feet wide, and of twenty-five horse power, which furnished the public with requisite accommodation MT. Comstoek renewed the lease.

Daniel M. Thomas The Only Living Resident Who Wt-
 messed The Wreck of The Atlantic.
HISTORY OF THE GROTON FERRY
Government Has Arranged For Use of the Wharf Formerly Owned by J, M Huntingdon Co., of Norwich-Present City Hall Built Nearly Sixty Years AgO-COIector Poor est Paid Officer in the Custom House.

While the newspapers of the pres ent time are teeming with matter re- Iating to the loss of the big steamship Titanic and the attendant fatalities, the worlds worst marine disaster, ref erence is made in some of the news papers of the loss of the steamer Att lantic as being of second in import ance to that of the Titanic, While the loss of the Atlantic was perhaps among the most serious marine hor- TOTS of that time 1t is nothing in com parison with the Titanic or with some of more recent periods. The Atlantic was wrecked on the coast of Fishers Island sixty-siX years ago and the late George ". Rogers, who died at the age of ninety-foUr was for years the only surviving passenger resident in New London, At the present time the only resident who was an eye witness of the disaster Is Daniel N. Thomas, He was at work on the island at the time and assisted in the recovery Of bodies, the rescue of passengers, and the saV- ing Of the cargo. One of the largest and most important funerals held in New London up to that time was that of the Walton family whose bodies were recovered from the wrecked At lantie.
 The WaItons were an English ennl- grant family who had sotourned for a sort inein West Newbury, Mass, and were on their way to New York on the Atlantic bound for the then far west. The father, mother and four children Derished and a young man who had recently married one of the daughters, and a boy of thirteen, were all that survived of the family of eight per sons. They had no home in this this country no friends to claim their remains. This family, the living and the dead, were brought to New Lon don and the people offered aid and sympathy for the bereaved and d res pectable sepulchre for the dead.
 Burial was in the Old Third bury ing ground, on the site of the Nathan

Though the deal fell through for the government to lease from the railroad company wharf privileges for the gov ernment transports running to the is land forts from the old Frink and Prentis wharf, it is understood that the projected spring cleaning of the wharf properties along the harbor front will go forward just the same and be extended all along the line of the road within the city limits. The government has made arrangements for the use of the wharf of the New England Carpet Lining company, and which is in part the property known years ago as the West Indies wharf, the Huntington and Raymond and the J. NJ. Huntington company wharves, Frederic w. Mercer, of the carpet lin- ing company has added to and greatly improved the property since it came ito his possession and it is now ample for the service of the government as well as the business of MT. Mercer
 Here was once located the private warehouses of the J. M. Huntington company of Norwich and where the firm conducted, in connection with the warehouses at Thamesville and the office in Norwich, the most extensive importing business in Connecticut, and in the special line of molasses and sugar the equal of any firm in New England. In addition to the large fleet of vessels chartered by the company to bring cargoes from Porto Rico and other ports in the West Indies, the firm owned the brig George which for many years was the flagship of the fleet. Even as late as the first admin istration of President Cleveland 1t was nothing unusual for this firm to re- ceive two and sometimes three car goes week during the season, mainly of molasses and sugar but with large quantities of bay rum.
 This entelprising firm of importers materially increased the revenue of the custom house at New London in duties collected and incidentally increased the fees of the collector that gave him sustantial recompense as the holder of the office in addition to the political honor, and therefore the posi- ton was considered the choicest polit- ical plum of the government that grew on a local tree.
 When the laws regarding that spec ial line of importation made the busi- ness so unprofitable that it was aband- oned there has been no political con- tests for the appointment of collector of the port of New London The hon or of the position remains but the rec ompense is lacking as there are no more fees from duty on imports in the trade with the West Indies As a re- suit the collector is the poorest paid officer engaged in the New London custom house In fact his fees do not aggregate the salary paid to the tani- tor and messenger.
