INJUNCTION HEARING ORDERED
In Exayor Tinker Attempt Restrain City of New Lon- don From Paying Its Delegates Expenses to Waterways Convention-Before Judge Shumway Here Friday.

Be 1t enacted by the senate and house of representatives in general as sembly convened:
 Temporary injunctions may be granted forthwith if the circumstances of the case demand or upon notice but no temporary injunction shall be granted without notice to the adverse party unless it shall clearly appear from specific facts shown by affidavit. ble loss or damage will result to the plaintiff before the matter can be heard on notice.
 The outcome of the case. which will probably ultimately be heard on it's merits in the superior court, is awaited with wide interest. Regardless of the legal aspects of it, there is a practical ly unanimous sentiment in the city of New London that the delegates should not be compelled to pay their own ex- penses, particularly in view of the fact that they were appointed to go as mu- nicipal representatives. At the last meeting of the court of common coun- cil a bill for s450, covering the ex- unanimously ordered paid. While this cannot be done through the regular channels while the injunction is in force, neYerth eless it was generally construed as an index of the mental attitude of the council members.
 Former Corporation Counsel Abel F. Tanner was Mfr. Tinkers attorney in securing the temporary injunction from Judge Greene. The merits of the case itself are not touched upon at the present time in Corporation Counsel ConnoIss application, the latter being presented purely on the legal techni- calities involved.

TAFTVHLE
Two More Gases of Smallpox Found
 School Children to Be Vaccinated.

In the past few days two new cases of smallpox have been found in the village and the houses have both been quarantined by Dr. George Thompson, health officer One of the patients is Mrs Michon of Norwich avenue. She is related to the Michon family on Providence street, who were quaran- tined the first of the week One of her children had been i'll, but it was not thought that the illness was se- r1ous so little attention was paId to it by the family. It is now thought that the child had smallpox, probably con- fracted while attending school and that the child spread the disease in the two families. Mrs. Michon has a mild case. but she is well broken out.
 The other patient is George Ravens son of MT. and Mrs George Ravens of Front street His case is also mild At the time the case was discovered MT Ravens was not in the house. and as he was vaccinated quite recently it is thought that he is in no danger of contracting the disease so he was not quarantined with the rest of the family and has taken up his residence elsewhere However as a precaution his clothes were fumigated by Dr. Thompson
 Dr. Thompson thinks that indica- tfons point to the school children as the real source of the disease and as soon as possible he will cause all the children of the school to be vacci- hated If this does not suffice to ar rest the spreading of the disease he will take measures to yaccinate the empl yes of the Ponemah mills. A f1tlr ger of the mill employees have al- req been yaccinated as a precautfon. Noe-ies have been posted in the mill that any employees who wish may be vaccinated at the expense of the mill by applying to the management when they will receive a card which when presented to the doctor will entitle them to vaccination.

EASTERN CONNECTICUT
 FARMS CHANGING OWNERS. Old Resident Element Passing-Pur- chasers Are of Foreign Birth.

Real estate men who make a busf- ness of handling sales and purchases of farm property in eastern Connecti- cut are reaping a harvest. it is said, from the constantly changing owner ship of farm lands The "old resident element is passing and in it's place is an influx of foreign birth. In many instances they make good settlers, and not a few abandoned farms have been redeemed by them. In other cases the newcomers soon tire of bu- collie pursuits and, discarding the back to the soil'' movement. join the back to the city caravan, placing their farms in the hands of the real estate men to be disposed of to other seekers for the pastoral life.

Tn the pool tournament in progress at the Elks home among the members of Norwich lodge the first defeat suf- fered by w. A.

Sullivan broke and left the cue ball in the jaws of the corner pocket for Carney, who was forced to make an exceedingly difficult shot to get one. But he made it and then missed on the next ball. Then Sullivan missed and Carney ran off the two more that he needed to win.
 The following are the latest scores in the tourney:
