New London Should Begin Soon to Prepare For
 the Entertainment of the Delegates
MAYOR MARIAN EXPECTED TO TAKE INITIATIVE
Alderman Morgan Making Determined Effort to Have Trolley Express Business Done Elsewhere Than State Street Members of Council Anxious For Their Terms to End -Dsgusted With Gallery Play of Fellow Members.

When Cyrus G. Beckwith was mayor of the city of New London one of the youngest members and the most act i've of the court of common council was George Curtis Morgan. He was the Man on Horseback for a time and held tight rein on the party man. agers. He was perhaps one of~the most fearless of city fathers, was quick at repartee, glib of tongue, fine delivery and was destined to be foremost speaker on local affairs. He was recognized as a leader and was, by reason of his activity in the coun- cil perhaps one of the most popular have been elected to any office within the gift of his fellow townsmen. He diverged and took such decided stand against party management that after a time he was unhorsed and his political popularity waned. Since then this young lawyer has taken no active part in politics and devoted his time to the practice of his profession.
 At the present time George Curtis Morgan's younger brother, Frank E. Morgan is a member of the common council and active in all that pertains to the municipal affairs. He, too, is
 
 quite so pugnacious as was his brother Curtis. He is more conser- vatlve in manners but Is persistence personffied. It was Alderman Morgan who got after the garbage collectors and who kept everlastingiy at 1t until success resulted, and he has carried other public matters through the council by his persistent efforts. Sometimes the council balks at the attitude of Alderman Morgan but that does net in least feaze him, for in that event hA carries on the work outside of the council chamber,
 Alderman Morgan has been asking the council repeatedly to take some action that would result in the trolley companies doing their receipt and de- livery of freight business at some other point than in congested State street where it is carried on much to the datriment Of public traffic, The matter has been referred to a. commit tee of the the oeurt of common eeUn- eiI and frequent reports have been made that the trolley companies would take the grievance under con sideration and find some more suitable place for the transaction of a general freight business. But up to date there have been no changes in cendi- tiqn.
 This activity did not suit Alderman Morgan so he decided to take more drastic methods and without the ad- vice and consent of the court of com mon council ef fae city of New Lon don He decided to call upon the gen. eral utilities commission to inHesu- gale the conditions and aet according k. He had photographs taken of cars loaAing and unloading freight, show ing the line of teams in waiting, and also the general hold-up of public traffic. He then circulated q petition ts ths eeHRissleR urging inIlGmasaliiattts

 The delegation headed by Mayor Bryan F. Mahsn that went to Rich mond last summer and captured the big Deep Waterways convention for New London against big delegations headed by brass bands from other more pretentious cities, made many promises of the cordial reception that would be given the delegates to the convention of 1912 and it behoOves the citizens to get together and make good the promises of that delegation. This convention is perhaps the most representative of business interests that is held in the United States and has been fully appreciated in the cities that have been favored by the con ventlon That of 1910 was held in Providence and the citizens contribut- cd S20 GOO for the convention purposes and considered 1t n profitable invest ment So what was profitable for Providence should be fully as profit able for New London from an adver- Using standpoint.
 It was a great victory for the mayor and his associates to secure that con vention for New London and the ctti- zens should see to 1t that every prom ise made is filled to overhowing. It will be the biggest of the big events that ever happened in the city and its influence will be so far-reaching that the benits will be beyond computa- ten, As yet no organized effort has been made to prepare for this big event and 1t is suggested that the pre- liminary work be commenced with the least possible delay. As the mayer was instrumental in getting the con vention it is up to the mayor to take the initiative in the work of rrep8ra- ton and reception. He win find that the whole people are with him in this matter for the reputation of the city for hospitality and progresiveness is at stake. If this convention is proper ly handled it will demonstrate that New London is entitled to be elassed as a convention city and is competent to properly provide for these of in ternatiOnal importance

learn of the sudden death by lightning
of w. A. Long, who was employed on
the VIM. Walker farm east of Kensal.
Mr.. Long had been drilling and the
horses he had been driving had extri-
Gated themselves from the drill, sup
posedly when the bolt struck as both
poles in the drill were broken and the
horses were unhurt.
Mr.. Long was discovered by a neigh
Dor who as working in an adjoining
field, and who fastened to the drill
when he noticed the horses wandering
about the field. Mr.. Walker was at
once notified, and the body taken to
the Walker home and brought to town
the following day, being prepared for
burial in the Berg undertaking rooms.
That death was caused from lightn.
ing was plainly indicated by the burns
|on the body and the manner in which
the clothing was torn.
