BRIDE DISAPPEARED.
Habeeb Hforrah, Deserted Husband,
Nouns Also Expenses of Wedding.

ON February 10 a marriage license
was issued to Habeeb Hforah. aged SO.
residing at 81 Prospect street, and Nee
dee A. lamar. aged 81, residing at 449
Main street. The couple were married
several days after, it is said, by a Syr-
ian priest who was brOdght here from
Lawrence, Mass. The groom paid the
priest $40 for the service rendered,
which was see less than was originally
asked for a fee.
A few hours after the ceremony the
bride complained of not feeling well,
and went to the home of her brother
1n-laW, who lives in the Burnham block
on Main street opposite the spool shop.
The next day the young wife's husband
went to the house to call upon her, but
found the house securely locked and
was unable to effect an entrance, and
also unable to raise anybody within.
He paid another visit to the house
later, but found everything as on the
first visit. He and a number of his
friends went to the house on several
occasions later, with the same result.
Their suspicious were at last aroused
to such an extent that they appealed
to the police Wednesday afternoon.
Chief E. H. Richmond went to the
house and effected an entrance
through a window, but found every
thing in good condition, save that the
beds were unmade-all else in the nice
ly furnished apartment was spick and
span and as neat and tidy as could be.
Elaborate preparations for the untasted
wedding feast were in evidence. There
was wine and other good things upon
the table and eatables on a nearby
sidebord. The young wife and her
brother-in-law were nowhere to be
found and had left no trace Of their
whereabouts. They had effectively van
ished. The chief said that as far as
he could determine no crime had been
committed. The thing that rankles
most in the breast of Habeeb is that
he gave the brother in-l law $3.50 that
was to defray the expense of trans
porting the bride from Syria to this
country.
Hforah is a weaver and had worked
hard and long at his looms to save the
sum, together with the funds that went
to pay the expenses incident to the
wedding. He was simply married and
that was all, and is now without his
wife and his good fat bankrOll.

The most interesting feature of the

Quinebaue on a Rampage.
A swirl of water and the crashing
of heavy cakes of ice marked the
rushing flow of the Quinebaug river
through the limits Of the town Of
Putnam Thursday. The stream had all
the appearances of a spring flood and
swept southwark at a higher level than
| it ever attains except under abnor-
NAL conditions. Nearly all of the
heavy ice went out without causing
any trouble or damage to anyone,
though large cakes piled along the
banks at various points on the course
of the stream. The terrific rain storm
| caused the flood conditions WHICH
We're more effective here in causing
breakup than at Danielson, where
the ice in the Quinebaug held fast.
| Through Putnam, after clearing itself
of ice, the river showed a tendency
to overspread its usual course and
| this was particularly true at Z. NJ.

where large area of land was sub

Woman Suffers from Injuries.

Agnes Desdutelles, a woman of ad-
Vaneed years. still suffers from the
! injuries that she received to her eyes
when the blowup came. Her sight
has not since returned to it's normal
| clearness, though it is expected that
it will in the course of time.

Affecting Young Trees and Sprouts as
Well as Developed Timber, c. A. Til
inqhast Says.

Charles A. Tillingihast of Main street
said Thursday that in his trips as a
lumberman through towns in Wind
ham and New London counties he finds
the chestnut blight doing it's deadly
work. Not only is developed timber
attacked, bus young trees and sprouts
as well, anything that is chestnut be-
ing apparently doomed.
Mr.. Tillinghast mentioned in partic-
ular one lot that he has recently cut
off, east of Jewett City, where 500 trees
The fungus is eating the life out of
trees in about every woodland area in
this section, some sections being far
worse afflicted than Others AT pres
ent the menace it presents is greater
hereabouts than that of tie brown tail
or gypsy moths,as no successful means
Of combating it has been discovered.
The extent of the ravage that is being
worked is not apparent to the inexpe-
rienced, as many suffering trees do not
yet show that they have been attack
ed.
Mr.. Tillinghast describes the blight
as having the appearance of a saffron
colored sore in its well developed
stages. Its first work is done on the
inner bark, through which the sap
flows, fact that keeps its presence
unknown to those not familiar with it's
workings and effects oftentimes until
the tree is about ready to die The
disease may make its appearance on
any part of the surface, from base to
tip. In it's well developed stages the
disease breaks through the outer bark
and the tree is then about ready to
die.
In his inspection of many woodland
Al. IT,
linghast has found an uneven distribu-
ton of the plague spots, in some in
stances many trees in a group being
victims of the disease, while in others
there would be a scattering Of clean
and diseased trees. Still other areas
are yet free from the disease. Only
those who know the value of eastern
Connecticut's chestnut groWths can
make any approximate estimate of the
damage that has already been done
and of that impending.
A discussion of the disease is to be
held at the next meeting Of the East
ern Connecticut Lumbermen's associa-
ton, when it is expected that the state
forester will be present and give an
address on the subject, The situation
is so serious that the talk now is to
advocate at the next general assembly
an appropriation by the state for a
fight against the fungus, which is one
of the most deadly that has appeared
. in Connecticut.

Sixth Application of Cuticle to Eu-
gene BonnevilIe-Eightyf -four Per-
sons to Whom Liquor Must Not Be
SoId-River on Rampage-Shippee-
Burnett Wedding.


For the sixth time since he was bad
ly burned October 90 last, Eugene
Bonneville underwent skin grating
operation Thursday, this time at the
Worcester City hospital. where he is
a patient. This time the operation
was rim point skin grating, tiny bits
of skin being nipped from the person
giving it for the healing of the SUI
ferer. 1t is probable that Thursdays
operation will be the last that Mr.
Bonneville win be obliged to under
go, as the previous grating opera
lions have been so successful as to
cause the greater part of the burned
area to heal, Some of the spots on
the back and arms have failed to
improve, however but there is now lit
tie doubt that they will do so event.
ually. Mr. Bonneville. who is clerk
in LEGAL clothing store, has with
stood his sufferings with great for
titude and his many friends are pleas
ed at the prospect Of his ultimate re-
coYery In his restoration to health
the cuticle of several persons will have
played a part and when he comes
home again his back and arms will
be clothed with tho skin of Several
different people. His case is one of
the most interesting Of its kind that
has come to the attention Of the med
zeal profession in this section of New
England for several years.
Mr. Bonneville's injuries were re-
ceived when a lamp exploded at his
home one Sunday night last fall, scat
tering blazing oil over his clothing,
which was set ahre before he could
tear it off.
