HOME FOR YOUNG WOMEN.
May Be Object Of Effort of Loca. w.
 c. T. U.-Proiect Favored.

The local ". c T. U. held a most interesting meeting at their rooms on Valley street. Friday afternoon. In some respects it laid the foundation for one of the best movements for the welfare of young women ever sug- gested in this city. Rev. MT NGzum, the new pastor of the Methodist church, spoke of the fine work for young girls being done at the Deacon ess' home in Pawtucket. of which he is one of the trustees. MT. Nuzum said one of the good works of that home was to provide clean, pleasant boarding place for young women al a moderate price. one that should have a homelike atmosphere. It was not essentially an institution for rescue work for unfortunate girls, but it met the need of supplying a home for young women who find it difficult to secure agreeable boarding places. It is not unlikely the local union will soon take definite action towards establishing such home in this citS. Mrs. J. M
 Gager the president, had charge of the meeting Mrs. Fannie Martin, su- perintendent of the department of missions and temperance read an in teresting paper on this line of work and clippings on the same subject were read by other members of the union.

Railroad detectives and the local police worked here Friday the problem of finding the men who broke into three places in Oxford Thursday night, later stole a handcar from the railroad company building in which it was kept. put it on the rails and headed for Putnam
 The special mystery of the case, ac- cording to the railroad detectives. is to find the handcar, which has disappear ed. One theory is that it was dumped into a river at some convenient point. At any rate, it cannot be found; neither can it be determined just how far toward Putnam the men who stole the handcar travelled on the trip, but it is believed that they did not pass Webster. Information of the railroad officers working on the case is to the effect that the hapdcar and it's reck- less crew followed a freight out of Oxford at about 2.30 a. m. Friday.
 The three places burglarized in OK ford were a barber shop, where about a dozen raZorS were stolen; drug store, where cameras, fountain pens, cigars and toilet articles were collect ed. and the railroad freight station, In the last named place about $7 in money was taken.
 Oxford officials sent out an early morning call to police in Putnam and other Connecticut towns along he Norwich branch to be on the lookout for the crooks, but nothing about them could be learned during the day.

 carrying an additional 3 inch layer of plank and while this does stfffen the structure somewhat 1t also adds to the dead weight and reduces the car rying capacity. Whereas the plank makes a satisfactory floor for light traffic when kept in good repair and renewed frequently on this partfcu- lar highway, which is the main road to Boston. plank would be out of the question and a more substantial floor is necessary. such as macadam, aas- phalt. or wood block surface on con crete floor. Such a. floor would not only make a more satisfactory wear ing surface. but would last much long, CT and would need littdle or no re- pairing.
 Tho present width of the bridge is inadequate to take care of the vol ume of traffic which now passes over it. This will never decrease. and the chances are that it will double with the improvements by the state. More over if the state ever takes over the bridges they will be apt to insist on a bridge at least Is feet to 24 feet wide.
 To guide you in making an appro- priation we have made an estimate on suitable bridge for this site un- der the following specifications:
 Span. 113 feet. width 24 feet. floor concrete, surface, macadam.
 For the entire structure not inc1ud- ing the abutments we figure that it should not cost over fifty eight hun dred dollars ($5, 5,S00).
 Of course, we do not make this as definite bid. the figures being only approximate. If the town sees fit to build the bridge, we will be glad to go into the matter in detail and make closer estimate. In the meanwhile, we place at your disposal the ser vices of our engineering and bridge departments and will be glad to have our representative consult with you in regard to this work at your con Venience.

RUNNING DAY AND NIGHT.
Waterman Worstsd Mill Rushed-
 Other Plants Busy.

Just what effect the proposed changes in the wool tariffs will have on the wooden and worsted industries in and about this city is not yet ap- parent. All of the plants are running full time and one of them, the Water man Worsted cOmpany's mill, has just started to run night and day C. Fred Waterman of this company says that the company has large quantity of advance business placed and that or ders have come in at such a rate that it has been necessary to put a night shift at work.
 Interviews with a number of woolen and worsted manufacturers indicate that there is a considerable degree of uncertainty as to what the future will bring for them in the way of busi- ness reverses due to tariff changes or business improvement that will follow 8 restoration of confidence once the tariff revision is completed. All are agreed on one point, that the the soon CT the revision is completed the better it will be for business. Once the schedules are fixed, there will be a basis for doing business. something that does not exist in the woolen and worsted manufacturing line at pres ent, a general rule.
 Burglars Believed to Be Tranos.sA
 A theory has been evolved that sew eraI of the breaks that have occurred in this territory this week are the work of d gang of tramps living in the open somewhere hereabouts. This is indicated by the fact that Lood- stuffs are stolen whenever they can be gotten; also beverages that tramps are fond of. A search will probably be made in order to determine if such a theory about the burglaries Is cor rect

kiilinsiy WooIen Mills Not Affected by Tariff TaIk-centraI Village Plant on Four-Day Schedule.

The operatives in the big plant of the P1ainfield Woolen company at Central Village were put on a schedule of four days a week beginning Friday morning. At the mill office Friday afternoon it was said that the curtail- ment was due to the uncertainty ere. ated in the woolen manufacturing bus ineSS by the impending tariff changes; that cancellation of orders received some time since are coming in in num- bers, and that running short time was necessary to keep the mill from sus- taining losses.
 Hope was expressed by a represent ative of the company that the tariff schedule on wool will be quickly set tied When the schedule is readjust- ed he said, conditions might be better, and then, again, they might be worse: This is impossible to forecast at this time
