BLOOD POISONING
Causes Death of John Coffey of Day
 vile at Day KimbaIl Hospital.

John Coffey, for many years a resi- dent of Dayville, where he has been employed in the mill, died Friday morning at the Day Kinball hospital Putnam, of blood poisoning His death came as shock to the people of the village, for he had been affected with the trouble for only a few days. A week ago today (Saturday) MT. Cof- fey slightly punctured the skin on one thumb with a pin or knife, the wound being so slight that there was barely q trace of blood. Blood poisoning de- veloped, nevertheless, the pain on Mon day and Tuesday being so intense as to be almost unbearable. On We'd nesday afternoon MT. Coffey went to the hospital but the trouble had be- come so far advanced and continued to progress with such alarming rapid ity that no method could be success fully employed to check it. The body was removed Friday from the hospital to MT. Cuffey's home in Dayville.
 The deceased leaves his wife, who was Miss Jane Campbell, two children and several sisters and brothers.

POSTAL ILLUSTRATION
Will Probably Be Established as Re.
 suit of Popular Demand.

That Willimantic will soon have a postal station Is now almost assured as result of a petition that was cir culated about a year ago about the time there was some complaint because or the distance from the old business center to the new postoffice Frank D. Blish, a Church street merchant, was the man to take up the cause most actively, with the result that Friday afternoon Postoffice Inspector c. H. Pendleton called upon MT. Blish and had him sign the necessary papers and contract that he would furnish the required office appliances to properly handle postal sub-station.
 Inspector Pendleton informed MT. Blish that he would recommend to the postmaster general that the station be established in his store. He further told MT. Blish that he would probably hear within the next fortnight whether or not the recommendatins would be carried out by the department as to the location and attendant formalities for the establishment of station.
 The institution of the station will be of great convenience to business men and others in the vicinity of Church street.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Pertinent Inquiry.

Mir. Editor: Suppose that farmer in Massachusetts corrals or rounds up 500 cheap, good-for nothing cows, puts them under the tuberculin test and they are all pronounced consumptive, takes them from his pound, drives them to the Connecticut line, where they are shipped to or held for fixed or would be purchasers. The state ex- aminers of Connecticut are on to their job and proceed to examine those cows for tuberculosis, but the animals after the first and recent inoculation do not respond to the second test given by the Connecticut men, conse- quently are admitted across the line with a good bill of health. What l want to know is, What are Connecti- cut laws good for as far as our cows are concerned if in a diseased COW we cannot determine tuberculosis for quite a while after the first inocula- tion?

IRWIN HOUSE
Purchased by Louis Feiner, Who Will
 Remodel and Improve Property.

Louis Feiner, who for some years has conducted a general dry goods and clothing store in this city, has pur- chased the Irwin house hotel property and has practically completed arrange ments with the Turner estate for a lease of the hotel for a term of years. Mrs. Eugene Squires will remain in charge of the culinary department of the hotel, but MT. Feiner is to secure competent manager to assume the general management of the entire ho- tel. The place has been bargained for and deposit made and the papers transferring the hotel paraphernalia will be signed as soon as they are ready.
 MT. Feiner stated Friday afternoon that he was going to effect a few changes in the way of alterations and improvements generally. The hotel has been doing good business and with proper management should be a paying proposition. Max Markoff, who has been operating the hotel for sev- eral years, contemplates embarking up- on a new line of business, and expects to leave the city, it is said, for a time, at least.
