ToIocate in Putnam

George H. Ryder, the well known organ builder and composer, is to make his home in Putnam, and will reside at 1lS South Main street, after Sept. l. MT. Ryder was obliged to leave New York city on account of the health of his wife, and has been spend- ing the summer at Clark s Corners. He will be remembered as installing the first pipe organ in the town of Putnam, in the olo Congregational church, and giving a dedicatory recital June 23, 1865. For a number of years he was employed by E. G. x G. G. Hook, now Hook x Hastings, in erecting organs, and for thirty years conducted an organ factory in his own name. He was the efficient organist for many years for the Star Course of Entertain ments in Fremont Temple, Boston MT. Ryder is widely known throughout New England and New York as one of the most expert organ tuners, and will continue to make that his special line of work. He has already made con tracts with number of churches in this vicinity for the care of their church organs by the year.

Old Cemetery Site FOand

Workmen employed by the Wheaton Lumber Go. of this city, were startled Monday when their picks and shovels struck brick vaults in lthe rear of the Congregational church, at Webster and more excavating revealed four collins, badly decomposed. Whether or not the collins contained human bones the workmen were unable to determine, but allege that at least two of the ;coffins contained decomposed bodies.
 With the unearthing of the four graves, old residents of the town recall that the spot where the annex to the Congregational church is being built was once private burial ground. The spot is within few yards of Webster s Main street, and workmen were sur prised when they made the grue- some find.
 People who claim to have know ledge of the burial ground, say that the families of the original Dr. Negus, who at one time owned vast section of land running from Mechanic street to the St. Louis church, were placed at rest in this spot.

JABs AND JABs THROAT WITH KNIFE BLADE
 Fred Rogers, 42, whose home is on High street this city, committed suicide in Elmville last Thursday morning by continually jab5ing the blade of his iackknife into his throat. Rogers was woolen weaver and for number of years worked for the Putnam Woolen Company, but of late he has been em- ployed at the wooden mill in Elmville, working nights. Insanity caused by excessive drinking is thought to have been the cause of his act.
 The man where Rogers boarded said that Rogers had not been feeling well for several days and stayed about the house. Thursday morning he was seen in a field about Il o'clock and a woman in a house nearby who was watching him saw him take his knife and repeatedly jab il into his throat until he fell 10 the ground with blood flowing from several wounds. The woman gave the alarm and a hurry call was sent 10 Danielson for physician. Dr. J. B. Shannon responded and with Coroner A. G. Bill hurried to the scene.
 Rogers was found lying on the ground and 1t was apparent that he was in serious condition. A pay en- velop, by his side bore the following, written in pencil; "Good Bye, please forgive.n The man appeared to be try ing to say something but he was unable to speak. A pencil and paper was handed him and he wrote, in an al- most undecipherable scrawl: "What are you going to do with me? Put me in the furnace? The words denoted that his mind was unbalanced. The physician ordered the man removed to the Day Kimball Hospital and he was hurried here in an automobile but died before reaching the hospital, presum- ably just as the machine reached the city limits.
 Rogers bore an excellent reputation when he was himself, his great fault being the drink habit. He was ar raigned in the city court here several times on the charge of intoxication and the last time, having broken the terms of his probation, was sent to jail for several mon ths.
 He is survived by wife and daugh- ter in this city and has relatives in Norwich from which place he removed I to Putnam.
 The body was taken to Norwich for burial Saturday morning.

Ministers Gather at NOrthfIeld

Largest audiences of the whole sum- meT.
 At Northfeld POO ministers sfrom all parts of the country, representing more than eight denominations, are daily listening to Rev. John A. Hut ton of Glasgow, and pr. A. T. Robert son, Professor in the Baptist Seminary at Louisville, Ky. These men who are the pastors of thousands of parish- oners form very interesting audience when one considers the dynamic force represented. Theological students and grey haired pastors, Methodists, An glicans and Lutherans all mingle freely and listen to MT. Hutton's masterful treatment of the lessons de- duced from the history of the Christ ian church during the first three centuries. Dr. Robertson's course on the Epistle of James is new depar- ture for Northfeld. The study is being made directly from the Greek text in which language the leader is uneXcelled as teacher. Even those not acquainted with the Greek are attending the lectures.
 But the ministers conference forms only small part of the work now going on at Northfield in this confer ence, which is the largest and most important of the year. Sunday the Auditorium will be crowded with nearly 5000 listeners and the eight or ten other meetings include services for those from four to four score.
 The attendance at the conference is so large that special overflow meetings are being arranged to follow this ses- sioE, from August 20 into September; a number of the prominent speakers will remain for this Post Conference.

City Court--Fuller Judge

Sherwood Cornell was before the court Friday morning charged with being found drunk. He plead guilty and the case was continued to August 2Bth. He was found on Elm street by Captain Murray and as he was unable to take care of himself he was locked up. The man said he had been ill and had taken l5 grains of quinine and then drink of whiskey. He said he was not in the habit of getting in- toxicated and his looks bore out the statement.
 Saturday morning Patrick McGlynn and Edward Cox were before the court and plead guilty to drunkenness. The men were found asleep in the yard of E. NJ. Carver of School street. Cox had been before the court before and was sentenced to thirty days and costs of Ss.09. MeGlynn was given 70 days without costs, it being his first ap- pearance.
 The largest number of offenders to appear in court at any one time since tae first of the year, six in all, were ar raigned Monday morning.
 John Barry and Joseph Turcott, minors, both of Norwich were charged with larceny on two counts. Probation officer A. N. Bowen was appointed guardian ad Item and pleas of guilty were entered. The boys came to Put nam Saturday on freight train. They went into the stores of A. C, Luke & Co. and A. NJ. Douty and while the attention of the clerks was elsewhere helped themselves in the first place to two neckties and pair of socks and in the latter to some caps. They at temped to board freight train but 1t was moving too rapidly. Special off. cer Martin had been notified of the affair and picked the boys up and turned them over to the Captain. Their parents were notified and their fathers came to the city Sunday. Both stated that it was the first trouble of any kind the boys had ever been in. They made good to the store keepers and appeared in court and paid fines and costs of $6 each and took the boys home. Both young men seemed to feel their posi- tions and doubtless learned a valuable lesson. They said they did not know ! what made them do 1t.
 Peter Steakleton was sentenced to 30 days for drunkenness Mary West WAS given 30 days for drunkenness and 6o days on a charge ,of being common drunkard. William Light was put on
 probation having his case continued | for four weeks. James Egan of Alta
 waugan was fined s3 for getting drunk. Joseph l.. Kenyon of Woodstock ap' | peared before the city court on We'd pesday morning on charge of being in- l toxicated. He was fined sS.09 and costs. Being unable to pay, the judge | sentenced him to serve 30 days in Brooklyn jail.
