SURGICAL SKILL SAVES
 LEG FOR c. s. PEckHAM
Tendons Satured and Five Inches oi Bad Bone Taken Out by pr. TingIey.


 Charles s. Peckham who was able to leave the Bacl1us hospital in an auto- mobile this week for the first time since last November. and is now stay Ing with his sister. Mrs. c. A. Gray, feels that he owes his splendid recoV- cry almost entireiy~to the surgical skill of Dr. Witter K Tingley of this city. MT. Peckham has been convalescing rapidly in the past few weeks, and now expects to recover largely the use of his leg which last fall nearly everyone maintained would have to be amputat- ed when it was crushed in a runaway cacident up in Woodstock. The heavy wagon pasesd over ths right ankle and lower part of MT. Peckham's leg, after Mir. Peckham had been thrown from his team and the result was an almost shapeless foot the fragments terribly torn and the bones broken and crush ed. The injured man was brought down to a bonesetter in Jewett City, who took a glance at the crushed ankle and at once pronounced it a case for amputation. sending MT. Peckham forthwith to the Backus hospital. Here MT Peckham came under the care or Dr Tingley. whom he considers did wonderful piece of work in saving his lower leg. The Norwich surgeon with out delay accepted the chance of saw ing the injured member, and by the use of antiseptic measures the re- duction of the fracture and the skillful suturfng of the severed tendons had Mir. Perckham on the way to recovery Etraightway
 Complications set in three monthsI iatsr. and examination showed necrosis of the lower end Uf-tlle- tibia in Mr. Peckhams leg, and Dr.. Tingley foundI tt necessary to remove five inches of the dead bone. Recovery from this op- erarion was necessarily slow, but grad ually fresh and healthy bone replaced that which was removed. and since then MT. -Peckham has found himself coming steadily along on the road to recovery and confident of being able to use again at no distant time a pair of legs almost as good as they were before the accident.

NEW LAW ON ISSUING
 MARRIAGE LICENSES
Where Both Parties Rre Non Resi- dents of Town Five Days Notice Must Be Given.


 For his own information and direc- ton regarding. the new Connecticut law governing the issue of marrisge licenses Town Clerk Charles S. Hol- brook recently wrote to Attorney Gen eral Light on the subject and has re- ceived reply from which the following is quoted:
 If both parties to marriage are non-residents of the town wherein they apply for a license. they must give Ave days notice before license can be issued to them. This will pre- vent many impulsive marriages and IS similar to the law now in effect Tn Massachusetts"
 This new regulation goes into et- feet on August 1st. A law requiring previous notice in some cases IS also in effect in Rhode Island.
 The new Connecticut regulation will cut off a convenient refuge for Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island couples de- sirous of a speedy marriage without the knowledge of the home folks. It was easy for them to slip across the border to some nearby Connecticut town clerk from whom they got the license provided the town clerk was satisfied thev were of legal age Nor wich henefitted by the get-married quick couples from Rhode Island while Putnam was convenient for Massachu- setts couples. coming by train or au- tomobile from the way of Boston or Worcester.
 Now the married -qncks from Rhode Island and Massachusetts will have to find other ways to make the sudden plunge into matrimony. The effect of the law will also be to pre- vent Connecticut couples from jumping out of their own towns overnight and turning up the next morning all smiles to announce that parson so-and-so in another part of the state had made them man and wife.
 Only when at least one. of the par ties. who applies is a resident in the town where he applies can the town clerk issue the license at once.

 beginning and so it will remain.
 The brother was not as keen bus
 mess man as Jonathan When they
 were on good terms he wanted to build house; his brother said he would
 build it for him charging only two
 cents the first door, four cents the sec

 to be the price of the last door. Elated
 the brother told his wife that at last
 he'd gotten the better of Jonathan, for although the house was to have thirty two doors counting the little closet doors by the side of the chimney he
 did not think the price would be very much But his shreWd wife soon con Vinced him, with pencil and paper
 that his cheap" house cost him over $32, GOO, ,000. Needless to say it was not
 built on those terms. The cellar hole still remains on the Navin's place. of
 the house of Thirty two Doors Jonathan Clark was famous bridge builder even going as far west as Penn sylvania to build bridges. The story goes that in harvest time someone
 wanted to borrow a fail and sent a town character, an old revolutionary soldier to Jonathan C1arks to borrow one. Mrs. Clark answered that her husband told her not to lend anything while he was gone The old soldier without a word started for Pennsyl- vania. He was gone over three months walking there and back, and when he returned he had a written order from Jonathan Clark to his wife to lend that fail
 Unfortunately the old soldiers name has lapsed from MT. Jewett's memory but he remembers hearing the story
 of the fail told by MT. Clark and others on many occasions.
 For many years, this part of the town was called Goshen. but when the 1 Post Office was established. it was

OLD HAMPTON PAPERS
JoHNATHAN CLARK PLACE

| One of the most interesting places in
 Hampton is the Jonathan Clark house
 standing at the Four Corners in Clark s Corners, square white house now owned and occupied by Mir Oliver who purchased the place d few years lago.
 Jonathan Clark was a famous char iacter in Hampton's oldest days He was a man of considerable money and such importance, that it is no wonder that the negro answered. when he was ask led: Who made the world ?- that "Jonothan Clark made it; he makes leverything"
 He started the house long known as the old Clark Tavern in 1900. It was raised in 1926 and he moved into it in lS44. He built it practically alone, making it the work of his life time. Ebenezer JeWett remembers when he was young boy. of passing the house and seeing MT. Clark working on a closet by the front door which was open. He spoke to him and showed him the house with great pride. giving him the exact dimensions which were Fl 12 feet long by Al 1-2 feet wide. He erected the big sign post on the Boomers July 4, 1900; its four arms giv- ing the distance in miles to Hartford, Boston, Providence and Worcester He also built a cupola on his house which was considerable of a novelty at that | time in Hampton.
 He had brother who owned the place lying east of the railroad towards
 Hampton Hill. It was owend up to a few years ago by F. C. Jewettm of Nor wich and is now owned by Afr Navins.
 Between | Jdhathan 4 Clark 3and' his brother theFe was no love lost.s A bit ter quarrel between the two was over a strip of land between the two places,
 neither would cultivate it. and it was
 called Devils Lane. The walls which bounded the strip are still seen, and it lhas bees~ e"&ed as a road by later gene

Birmingham Boy Still Dis
satisfied With Salary Fig

Seasons Work

Derrill Pratt, the Alabama star who is
the property of the st. Louis Browns, left
last night for st. Louis, where he will talk
with Colonel Hodges concerning his sal
ary for the ensuing season.
1t is generally believed that satisfac-
tory terms will be offered and accepted,
and that Pratt will again star on the in
field for the Browns. Last season he was
considered one Of the most valuable
youngsters who broke Into baseball In
1912
Last season Pratt drew minor league
salary On account Of his worth, he
reached the conclusion that eshouid De
paid more money than Hodges offered:
Pratt wants $500 for his years work, and
the chances are that he will get that
sum.
Pratt is in excellent physical c9nditfon.
He has spent the fall in the field with
the gun and dogs, and makes the ap'
pearance. of diminutive stonewail. He
thinks that he will go finely this season.

Once upon a time, as granny used to
for the baseball writer's of Birmingham,
having at the heart the interest of the
local club, in tactful manner to prepare
the fans against the shock of future
trouble and disaster And thus it hap
pened, as everyone familiar remembers
well, that when a star of the year just
gone fell down and showed little of the
stuff which previously made him great,
the fans, instead of raging about the
town. swearing vengeance and predicting
ruin. calmly viewed the situation with
out undue complaint.
That was 'once upon time 1t is
no longer necessary for the baseball writ
ers to endeavor pleasantly to prepare the
fans. For In Birmingham, now, they are
always prepared. They do not antici-
to study the field with the idea of finding
flaws. They simply rear back in rich
and calm content, and softly mutter-
"All is well. Rick is at the front"
MT. woodward mas wrought the cnduSe
For it is well known-in virtue of the
efficacy of past experience-that Rick
stands ready to fill the gap when strong
men fall or rush to the rescue when all
hope seems lost
Therefore, it is unnecessary today for
the sporting editor to write his usual
warning. The fans do not care for warn
ings, any more. They know all will be
well. They know that there Is scarcely
a chance in the world of the Barons slid
ing and ending in the second division.
They simply know these things, and it
is unnecessary to chat with them.
At the present time they are resting
very quietly, these Birmingham fans, SO
numerous, so strong and active, and faith
full. They know that good infielder Is
needed to take Almeida's place. They
do not apprehend that Hernaon Of the
South Atlantic. will be able to do the
work. But they do not despair.
