E. c. sTEDMAN AND W. II. PAGE.
Writer and Artist Who Figured in
Story of Railroad Accident of 1858.

H. H. S. of Willimantic writes The
Bulletin as follows
| was much interested in the account
of the railroad accident given in the
Illustrated News of 1858, which you
published in your paper Saturday. Jan
20.
I have a bit to add to that article.
The young artist referred to was my
uncle, the late William Fl. Page, who
carried on business of various kinds
for many years in the city of Nor
witch. He has told me many times Of
the accident and how he rowed in a
boat down to the scene of the disaster,
and it was so curious that he drew a
picture of it when he reached home.
The E. c. S. by whom the article is
signed was Edmund Clarence Stedman,
who was a great friend of his. and
asked him for the drawing, that it
might be sent to the News with his
article concerning the accident
The accident it has since been learn
ed occurred at what is known as Perch
Rock, or the Heebner rootbeer house,
just below Thamesville, on the west
side of the river. There used to be a
house on the river side Of the railroad
track, the cellar of which is still there.
and that was the house which the train
crashed into as it left the track.

FAIRGROUNDS ASSOCIATION.
Large Attendance Expected at Meeting
What ex- Governor Hughes Thinks,

The public meeting for the opening
of the Fairgrounds associations season
in town hall Monday evening promises
to bring out a large number of sympa-
thizers.
Ex-Governor Charles E. Hughes Of
New York in an address on Why We
Want Fairgrounds said:
We want Fairgrounds for children in
order that we may conserve the health
of our people A great deal is being
done in these days to protect us against
the spread of disease. We are fighting
with intelligence and with new-found
zeal the great white plague, but the
dread disease of tuberculosis must be
successfully fought by developing
stamina. physical strength, through
exercise in all the physical activities.
We must nourish that strength in
childhood.
We want Fairgrounds for children
| to conserve the morals of the people.
My opinion is that the average boy
is a good boy and the average girl is
! a good girl. I believe that the average
man and woman would rather be right
| than wrong; I have a profound conf
| dence in the capacity Of human nature
! to seize that which is good to hold
| true to its ideals with a progress that
| is spiral. but none the less onward, al
/ ways pressing to humanity's goal.
! The best way to train a boy to do
| right is not to lecture him into tears
| about his wrongdoing, but to show
| him the delight Of an honorable and
| happy boyhood. 1t is to give him op-
portunity to prove what il in him In
! good works And the good will always
| in the main, with exceptions that only
prove the rule, prove to be the greater
attraction. Boyhood and girlhood must
have q vent in play. 1t is natural; il
! Is right.
II a boy or a girl is to take easily
to moral instruction. to listen readily
| to the voice of conscience he or she
| must have a wholesome life. A few
hours in the fresh air, a few hours o.
| self abandon in innocent fun, a chance
to be q normal boy or girl, will d.
more to reinforce your moral lessons
than many. many days of mere teach
i ing Thus the playground will be
without any direct effort one OF tn,
regenerating and uplifting forces Of tn,
community.
We want Fairgrounds in order tina
we may aid In the development OF tn
sentiment of honor. l do not know o
any better way to teach the boy to b.
honorable and straight than to Civ
him a chance to play with his com
rades In the playground he learns i
without any suggestion OF rebellion
against instruction and precept an,
preaching. He learns it because h
does not want anybody else to chea

headquarters, and as clerls there r. H
Palmer has been named. This will

his services are needed.
The Southern New England Tele-

Company Sends Telegram.
In response to a telephone COM
muication with President Walker Of
the Thermos Bottle company Wednes-
day morning to the effect that S75,-
000 would be all the money that Nor
witch could possibly raise. This was
witch could possibly raise, a. telegram
was received in the afternoon. The
communication was made as the re-
suit of doubt being expressed that
$4,000 would be sufficient to buy the
land, erect the building and equip it as
required.
The telegram, which was received
at LIS, read as follows:
eve win accept the Mason house
and seven acres of our selection and
$4,000 cash; same terms. Letter fol-
lows.
American TheFmos Bottle Co."
By this It will be necessary to raise
the $4,000, but if that should not be
sufficient to complete the building the
company will bear the rest of the ex-
pense. Many got the impression that
$50, 900 would be all that would have to
be raised, but that is not so as the
purchase price of the property, $4,000
must be secured just the same The
new offer makes the amount definite,
while previously money was being
raised to meet the estimated cost of
a building, which is liable to vary.
