Day kImbaII Hospital Thanksgiving
Donations

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving day
and this announcement reminds a.!
citizens of Putnam, in fact all in the
eastern part of Windham county, that
it is time to consider how generous
each may be disposed to be in their
annual offering for the Day kimbsll
hospital, that benevolent and highly
priced public institution of which we
are all proud.
The committee of the Woman s
Board wish to ask of heretofore res
ponsive public generous Offering this
year for the needs of the hospital. En-
velopes and bags will be provided for
the reception of money and articles for
use as in former years. These bags
may be left at l.. +. Smiths repair
shop, he having again courteously per-
United the ladies its use ON Tuesday,
November 26th, between IL u. m. and
p m. Bags may also be sent direct
to the hospital If more convenient for
the donor. In any case the committee
particularly request that the names of
donors be PLAINLY written on the
bags or envelopes that there may be
no mistake in their acknowledgment
They also respectfully suggest that a
church offering the following Sunday
would be very acceptable as there are
large number of patients at the pres
ent time under treatment. Mrs. WE.
Rafferty,, this city, and Mrs. Warren
Ayerill, Pomfret, are the efficient COM
mittee in charge of this feature of the
Weman's Board activities.
No appeal TO the generosity of the
citizens of eastern Windham county is
more deserving of recognition than
this annual appeal of the ladies for
thank offering donations. The hospi
tai is doing a work of inestimable good
in the community. 1t is largely de-
pendent on voluntary assistance of its
friends and they have always been
prompt to meet the appeals for their
assistance. The institution has great
~ 'cA pduutu III tuC thSt iSW yeuiS
which of course entails increased ex-
penses and increased needs. The beds
are nearly all filled and large num-
Der of patients are yearly accommodate
ed. There is an efficient corps Of
nurses and an efficient manager who
has established an economical policy
as possible without letting the good
work suffer. An able corps of physi
clans give their services and the wom-
en- do a great amount of work each
year to see that needed articles and
money are furnished. On special oc.
casions like this Thanksgiving dona-
ton the public is appealed to TO assist
and it is to be hoped that the ladies
and those in charge will be encourag-
ed this year by greater amount of do
nations than ever before. If everyone
does something, no matter how little,
the aggregate will be an enormous
help to this worthy institution.
Next Sunday at st. Mary's church
collection for the benefit of the hospi-
tai will be taken at all of the masses.
In announcing the collection last Sun
day FIR. Bedard highly praised the hos
pital and told his people that they
were fortunate in having such an in
stitution in their midst and urged
them to give assistance. st. Philips
church will have similar collection.

Angered, the police say, because he
was given "A cold reception ON his ar
rival from New London, Leon ".

caliber revolver into the body OF Lot
tie, aged 8S, wife of Edward Burnett,

the head near the forehead. He died
an hour after he fired the bullet into

Mrs. Burnett was dangerously i'm
iured. The police are at loss To de

Jerome is said to have been hot-tem-
pered and the police say they believe
he shot her In fit of anger.
Mrs. Burnett Is in serious condi-
ton. One bullet entered her left fore
arm and was removed In an operation

Coroner Holds Inquest

Coroner A. q. Bill of Danielsou came
to Putnam at IL O'Clock "Wednesday
and conducted an inquest relative TO
the railroad wreck Saturday night in
which Harry Brooks OF East Hartford
lost his life.
The inquest was held behind closed
doors. The coroner courteously told
the newspaper men who sought ad-
mission that he felt that it would pe
irregular to admit them. Besides the
coroner and his stenographer lnspec-
tors Duffy, Lyon and Bromley of the
Interstate Commerce commission were
, the only ones at the hearing, Coroner
Bill said that if there was anything he
could give the newspaper men after
| wards he would do so. The hearing
lasted until $50 p. M, the crews of
both trains that figured in the disaster
being examined.
The testimony of Engineer Walter
Forbes of Boston, who was driving the
locomotive of Extra 4l0, which crash
ed into Extra Alp, was of special in
terest.
Engineer Forbes related that he first
saw white light on the track ahead
of him and later the faint CLEAN of a
red light. He put on his brakes. La
ter, when he got the signal cleared, he
answered by blowing the locomotive
whistle and put on his emergency
brakes. Engineer Forbes ran by Flag
man Gallagher, who has disappeared,
quarter of mile above the wreck.
According to the rules, Gallagher
should have been back q mile from
where his train was hit.
Engineer Forbes told of running
over two torpedoes before they came to
Gallagher, which would indicate that
the latter had started back towards
his tram after putting them on the
track. Engineer Forbes estimated the
reduced speed of his train at from 10 to
20 miles an hour, at the time the acct
dent occurred. Fireman Hurley, who
was in the cab with Forbes, did not
claim to have seen any other lights
than white light.
inspectors Duffy, Lyon and Bromley
asked some questions of the crew.
Their inquiries relating especially TO
the rules of the road and the speed of
the trains. Coroner Bill said Wednes-
day night that his finding will not be
made until he has an opportunity to
interview the engineer of west bound
freight train that passed by the scene
of the wreck, just few moments be-
fore it occurred.
The crews examined at the inquest
here left Immediately for Hartford,
where they will again be examined to-
day at a hearing before the inspectors
of the United States interstate com
merce commission.
