Whiskey Did it.

Il would be glad to punish whiskey if l could. It seems to be responsible for so many .crimes," said Judge Reed in the criminal superior court Thursday morning, Bridgeport when he was sentencing Christopher Reilly, charged with killing Henry Lucas. Reilly had pleaded that he was under the influence of liquor when he hit Lucas CD tne head with club. and the court remarked on the number of crimes caused by drink. He said the punishment fell upon the innocent, because the families of the prise ners suffered most. If you are innocent, as you claim." declared Judge Reed, "you are a most unfortunate man." The court then sentenced Reilly to states prison for not more then seven and not less than three years. He had been found guilty of manslaughter.
 Reilly and Lucas were members of a gang that was laying Warrenite in Westport. On August Reilly returned to the camp intoxicated and after a dispute with Lucas claimed that the lat ter threatened him with razor. Reilly repeatedly struck Lucas over the head with a club and Lucas died shortly afterward.

REV. MILLS POSITION
New Rector Defines His Attitude as \ Preacher and Citizen.


 Rev. W. Howard Mills, the new rector of Christ Church, officiated last Sunday for the first time since he ao- cepted the call to this church, and good-sized congregation attended. He preached an excellent sermon. which he prefaced with plain statement of his position and attitude as a newcomer in the community. He made it plain to his hearers that he would not advocate from the pulpit any civic. political or prohibition cause that his efforts as preacher would be exclusively along gospel lines yet he is ready to fellow. ship and give the right hand of fellow ship to his fellow-men of whatever creed or communion, Jew or Gentle, and to join in any mission. day or night, for the benefit of the people. He holds him. self as peoples pastor," and recog. nizes the obligations of clergyman, as a member of the community, to labor with the community for the general good, regardless of sect distinctions.
 Mir. Mills, during his two former visits here. made very favorable impression upon all with whom he came into con- tact and the verdict is general that both he and his good wife will occupy warm place in the estimation of the peo- pie of not only Christ Church but the "hole community. and that with the other resident clergymen, Revs. Gillette and Travis, the churches of the village have a three horse team that will work together harmoniously and effectively in "the cause." and not only re-galvs- nize the churches with new interest and greater zeal, but cooperate with excel lent effect in the civic and material betterment of the town.
 Mir. Mills is a cordial supporter of the church Brotherhood movement, and will take an active part in the promo tion of Brotherhood wcrk. He is also 32 degree Mason. and oontemplates in. viting the Masons to attend special Masonic service in Christ Church ou St. Johns day, in December. Ir
