TROLLEY EXPRESS FROM
 NORWICH TO PUTNAM.
Local Business Men Are Getting Sig natures for a Petition to This Ef- feet,

Owing to the absence of many of the members from the city on sum- mer outings, the Norwich Business Mems association did not hold its scheduled meeting in the Board of Trade rooms on Tuesday evening, but the members who were present held an informal conference and discussed a number of local interests.
 In the afternoon there was a meet ing of the jobbers and shippers of the city and the project of having a trolley express run from Norwich through to Putnam was discussed, and 1t was decided to circulate a petition for signers among the business men and then present it before the trolley officials for their consideration. All the merchants are apparently in fla vor of the idea and about 25 sigma lures had been obtained Tuesday night during the short time the peti- ton had been drafted. President Fairclough and Charles w. Pearson are directing the petition.
 The local shippers believed that if a branch of the trolley express sys- tenn can be established between this city and Putnam 1t will be of much value to their businesses and to the places through which the trolley runs. They call attention to the success that Is attending the recent opening of the trolley express business between Put nam and Providence.

his wife, who is but eight years his junior and is in as excellent health passed the day quietly by going down to Neptune park, New London, where they were the guests of Mrs. Mary F. Doolittle of this city. The genial spirited old gentleman, with all the lusty appetite of his youth, wrought havoc with q shore dinner at the beach. MT. Williams added to the festive atmosphere of the occasion by using for the first time, although he did not need it, a handsome gold headed cane that was presented to him when he headed a certain organization away back in 1873.
 A chapter in his life tht he remem- bers with distinctness was when he piled the waters of the Thames and Fishers Island sound as captain of the old side-wheeler Liberty, just about 55 years ago. There was competition on the river in those days too, but the two rival boats dropped out of the fight in midseason and Captain Will jams made money on a schedule of fares that took a passenger anywhere between Norwich and Stonington Point for five cents. The details of how he did it are interesting.
 MT. Williams had just returned from California, (and he had had some ad- ventures there, too, during a three years stay, in that then wuId country) and wished to get down to Westerly to see a friend When they taxed him 75 cents on the river boat for the trip to Stonington, from which he was go- ing over by train, Mir. Williams was a little wroth. He had read in the paper that morning that the Greenmans, Mystic shipbuilders, had just complet-
 sl rrsv~ l,af, ployees work during a slack spell, and were offering it for sale cheap. From Stonington MT. Williams went to Mys- tic instead of Westerly, although he visited the latter place later and won bride there, and a day later he was a full fieged navigator. His company paid dividends too, that fall, for the low prices brought overf1owing crowds. Captain Williams said he used to make seven stops along the river banks and it took an hour and fifteen minutes to make New London. Tuesday the boat he was on made one stop and took two hours for the trip. but it was part ly due to a breakdown.
 But the Nicaraguan government bought the steamer for use along it's ashore for good.
 John Breed first enticed the captain with managing some real estate for him and then MT. Williams went into the hardware business with MT. Breed and Amos Prentice and he has been in it ever since. When the old firm passed out, to be succeeded by the | present Eaton Chase Co.,, MT. Williams stayed too and he can now point back with pride to 53 years of uninterrupt- ed service.
 Never letting business interfere with his interest in the welfare of the com munity, Mir Williams has been alder man, acting mayor and in other po-
 sitions of public trust. He follows
 politics today with a keen and andy ! tical eye and he is absolutely against | the Bull Moosers and their candidate l All his life MT. Williams says he has voted the republican ticket straight | but thi stime, if it necessary to defeat l Roosevelt, his vote is cast for Wood row Wilson,
