Hearing on Road Improvement

The commissioners of Windham county on Friday fixed October Ii at II o'clock as the date for the hearing before them in the office of the clerk of the superior court in this city on the matter of the petition of Arthur B. LapsIey and other residents of Pomfret, in which complaint is made that the selectmen of the town of Ponfret have "failed, neglected and refused" to make such repairs and alterations in a highway in that town AS have been deemed necessary. In connection with the complaint, Selectman George H. Hicks has been summoned to ap. ear,before the commission.
 The stretch of highway over which the hearing is to result is the one lead- ing from the old Haskell stand, just south of the Pomfret station, to Brook lyn center This is a much-trayeled piece of road. The complainants are very anxious that it should be improv- ed. It is said that travel on the road in question is not very difficult at this time of year, but especially bad during the fall, winter and spring months.

County Revenues Lessened

It was said here Friday by County Commissioner Corttis that the com' missioners' annual report will proba- bly show deficit in the county's rev. enues this year. Just what the figures are cannot be known at this time, for the fiscal year does not end until Sep tember 30.
 The prospect of deficit, however, Is something that has been of rare occur renee in this county in recent years. It may be explained that the manage ment by the commissioners has been just as prudent and business-like as ever this year, but circumstances have resulted in a decided falling of from the usual amount of revenue. The county jail at Brooklyn is usual ly big money maker. This year has been an exception. There has been an
 unusually small number of prisoners in the institution during greater part
 of the time, less than thirty once, and this has resulted in prisoners earn ings falling far below the regular amount. Last month the jail had 8 | fine record of earnings, though most oi the other months of the fiscal year
 were otherwise.

 The young woman was seen about the cabin as she sat writing at the pub lie desks. She was observed by Bert Dewey of Lenox, chauffeur, to be in tears.

The f.ag- ments of letter were patched together by the police and the letter was found to have been directed to Francis Her rick, 90 Cross street, Boston, Mass. There was also a torn express compa- ny pt for box sent to Miss Mabel Peterson, Thompson, Conn.
 When the box on the steamer con taining mail letters was opened there was found one addressed to Miss Peter son. This the police opened. It was signed Wilhemina, and stated that she was sending her "some clothes. l won't want them any more, and thought you would like them"
 She requested Mabel to give her love to Esther and Margaret and concluded with: "I am leaving 64 West Ninety first street, so l will write you again when 1 get settled.n
