 Preliminary work that will lead up to the construction of the new central office of the Southern New England Telephone company has commenced on Grove street. Just how much of the work will be done before the cold weather sets in is uncertain, but there seems no doubt that there will be some advance and that the work will go rapidly forward in the spring. The construction of the new central office will mean a great deal to Putnam, for in addition to the structure there are to be many changes that will improve the service through the length and breadth of the territory of the Put nam division.
 Wreck Delayed Trains.
 The freight train wreck, due to a rear end collision between two | trains between Webster and Oxford Friday, somewhat interfered with the smooth running of the passenger trains in the Worcester New London branch | during the day, though the delays were longer in the forenoon than dur | ing the afternoon. The blockade of the tracks also had the effect of tying up the freight transportation service and that is of vast importance at the present time.
