Settled Out of Court.

The case of Charles H. Baker vs. the Quidnick- Windham Manufactur- ing company was the next to be tried, but the case was settled out of court. The suit was first instituted in 1909, and Mir. Baker, who owns land near what is known as the Ten-Mile river, sought to recover $500 damages for having some of his land Overflowed when the defendant corporation put on flashboards on the dam. An agree ment was reached Wednesday morn ing whereby MT. Baker withdrew his suit against the company, and the lat ter then purchased from MT. Baker the right to flow part of the land. The company contemplates raising the dam two feet higher than it is at the present time and that, of course, means that still more of MT. Bakers land will be overflowed. The right to flow the land was what MT. Baker sold to the company. This settled the matter and all parties interested are now satisfied. Caleb Morse of New Haven and Thomas J. Wall of Tor rington represented MT. Baker, while the Quidnick- Windham Manufacturing company was represented by Charles E. Searls of Putnam.

LEAVES WIFE AND SONS.
John Roe, Painter, Vowed to Jump a Freight if It Killed Him, and Met His Death.

John Roe, 54, the man who was struck and killed by the Boston bound express in the local railroad yards Tuesday night, had been employed as painter in this city, it was learned Wednesday. and that his home is in Roxbury, Mass, where he has a wife and two sons, one of the latter about 30 years of age.
 Roe was with two companions when he met death. The story that they tell is to the effect that they had gone up into the yards to jump New London bound freight. As one was coming south through the yards the express approached in the opposite direction. Roe's companions say they shouted a warning to him to be careful and to lie down between the two tracks, but he replied that he was going to get the freight if it killed him, which was the unfortunate outcome.
 The locomotive of the express hit Roe, fracturing his skull. He prob ably died instantly. The accident hap | pened unknown to the crew of the ex . press which proceeded on it's way to | Boston

STRIKE AT THREAD MILL.
About 800 Operatives Out, Claiming Discrimination Due to I. w. w. Ask for 54- Hour Week.

There is another strike on at the local plant of the American Thread company. About 500, principally Poles, Russians and Syrians, employed in the manufacturing department, went on strike Wednesday morning. From what could be learned from some of the English speaking strikers, the strike is out of sympathy for some who have recently been discharged. A striker. a leader among the Polish faction. said that Overseer William II. Jenkins of No. mill had dis charged some of the Poles, discrimi- hating because they belonged to the l. W. W. He said that Tuesday after noon eleven of them, all members of the 1. W. w., left their work and went out, and that the matter was talked over in the evening and it had been decided to strike.
 Wednesday morning the strikers at tempted to induce others to strike. The police were notified and Chief E. H. Richmond with a squad of officers vent 10 the vicinity of the mills and

kept the strikers away from the mill gates 80 that those desiring to go to work might do so.
 At noon when the employees came out for work a number of the strikers were on hand making various remarks, apparently in Polish, to people or tnelr own nationality, who had worked dur ing the forenoon. Chief Richmond with five officers were on hand during the noon hour to keep the crowd quiet and orderly. Two officers were sta tioned at the gate leading to No mill, while the chief and three officers were at the entrance to No. mill. The remarks of the strikers were ad- dressed to people of their own race only and no other people were mo- tested. The police kept the strikers away from all who desired to go into work.
 The strikers had banners printed in the forenoon that asked for a 54- hour week instead of a 5S-hour week at the same wages they are now re- ceiving They also asked for change in the transmission of the normal, which refers to the speed at which the machines are worked and they further asked that the company em- ploy only people who are affiliated with d labor organization.
 Officials of the company state that the whole trouble had its inception when an undesirable employe was discharged. His friends did not like it and took sides with him and in- duced others to do likewise.
 The strikers sent for I. w. W. speakers and it was expected that they would arrive during the after noon, but they did not show up. The strikers formed in a body and march ed up Main street with their banners flying to the town hall where mass meeting of about 300 was held in the afternoon. The meeting was ad- dressed by local I. W. w. leaders and was perfectly orderly. Some of the leaders said that nothing more would be done until leaders from Lawrence Mass, arrived.
 At the present time there is scant chance of the strikers getting any such concession as a 54-hour week and as for the speeding, the officials say that it is normal except in the case of some machines that have been speeded up for those so desiring it

AFTER 35 YEARS
Famous Notre Dame Academy to Be Utilized for Grades of Parochial School.

The last of the Sisters of Mercy and the last of the boarding students of Notre Dame to go away from Put nam, in accord with the changes that have resulted in the closing of the academy as a boarding school, left here Wednesday afternoon for Hart ford. Among the Catholic population of the city there is deep regret that the fine school developed here during 35 years has so suddenly disappeared, but the circumstances leading up to the change are such as to allow of following no other logical course. At the academy Tuesday evening many members of St Mary's parish were present to say farewell to the Sisters who have labored so lovingly and so earnestly for their charges and for the general welfare of the parish, and there was every evidence that the vast amount of good work done here will ever remain a fond memory among the people of the city.
