 On the first day of his stay in the 1own at heel, bankrupt little capital Hawthorne had gone for a stroll in its suburbs. Curiosity had led him to climb a garden wall. What he had seen there had brought him back every Afternoon, to the disgust of Blake, who was sick of the dead and alive little kingdom and who wanted t0 see what would happen when Hawthorne and himself and $1OO,OOO should strike Paris simultaneously.
 A few minutes before the stroke of 5 in the afternoon Hawthorne had climb ed the wall. The sound of steps on the path from the house beyond sent him into hiding behind a dilapidated summer house just as a very young and very pretty girl entered the gar den. The girl moved forward eagerly, as if expecting some one. A shade of wistfulness crossed her face as she found the place seemingly deserted. Rea ching the sundiaI, she leaned down and kissed its numbered face. Then, turning quietly, she discovered Flaw thorne coming out of his hiding place. ..1 Aele- didR't fgtahten yau.A he

NARROW ESCAPE
OF GUESTS IN
HOTEL BLAZE
Several Overcome by Smoke,
Gropinp Way Out In Early
Morning Fire at Putnam

Putnam, Conn, Jan. 27.-A fire,
which, early today, Quilted the Chick
ering Hotel, came near costing the
lives of several of the hostelry's guests
who were taken from the burning
building in an unconscious condition.
The flames were first discovered
coming from the cellar windows and
the fire is thought to have started
near the boiler. At first the flame s
were confined to the lower part of the
building but the upper floors of the
hotel, a three-story, wooden structure,
were flied with smoke. So thick was
the smoke that many of the guests,
most of whonf left their rooms with
only their nightclothing, became part
1y unconscious while trying to grope
their way through the smoke and took
those who had partly lost their senses
to a place Of safety. After their re-
moval the flames swept through the
upper stories.
The total loss is estimated at S2O,-
900. R. H. Bradley owned the build
ing while the hotel was conducted by
]. T. Mcclellan, who lost a large
amount of money and jeweIry. Five
stores on the ground floor had their
stock damaged by water.

CHARTER NOW.
IN FOREGROUND
Power Centralized In Two Boards
With Veto Retained In Town
Meeting
Two Tax Districts, Primary
Election to Nominate Select
men and Finance Committee
Especial to The Farmer.)

L -
,Stra.fford Jan. 27-The principal
| topic here is StratfordPs new charter,
the foundation of which is laid on the
old town meeting, but which is a mix
| ture Of number of principles, includ-
| ing the commission idea.
The charter-now merely proposed
divides the town into two districts.
One district represents the settled part
| of the town. The other. the outlying
farm territory The districts will
| share in common all expenses peculiar
( to BOTH But the district in which
| the village is located will pay for all
! improvements which are for it sole
| ly.
The Board of seleetmen are trans
foz1nedS into a commission, in which
is vested the power to make ordi-
nances and bylaws, substantially the
| same power exists in a Mayor and
Common Council in an ordinary
Connecticut city.
The seiectmen are to be nominated,
however, under a. carefully guarded
direct primary system:
Tn power to repeal any ordinance
passed by them is retained in the town
meeting.
The Seaectrnen appoint board of
finance which Is to consist of six mem
the first SeIectman is made chairman
thereof with a vote m case of a tie.
The greetings Of the finance commit
tee are to be public Their chief duty
is to prepare and recommend the AN
nl1al, budget and the tax rate. The
powers given to them are very sim
liar to those welded by the Tax
Board in Bridgeport.
Their acts are partly subject to the
veto of the town meeting, which may
reduce the rate recommended by the
committee, but not increase it..
Generally speaking the charter is in
the direction of the Capitalization of
legislative and administrative acts in
two boards, with a, veto power in the
town meeting.
If the charter is approved in town
meeting it will be transmitted to Hart
ford for legislative approval.

CLASH OF STRIKERS
AND sTRIKEBRE.AKERs

New York, Jan. 27-Many Of the
striking garment workers were Elk
pected to return to work probably to-
morrow as the result Of the tentative
agreement reached by the manufac-
turers, contractors and union leaders
at recent conferences. Increases in
wages and shorter hours were among
the terms of the settlement which was
to go into effect pending the arbitra-
ton of their differences.
Demonstrations by groups of strik-
ers gathered in front of shops and
factories were of frequent occurrence,
today. In one clash between strikers
and strikebreakers in Brooklyn, a
score of shots were fired. One striker
was wounded and carried away by his
companions. A strikebreaker was ar
rested and charged with the shooting.
He said he was attacked as he tried
to enter a factory.

GIRL TESTlFIES
IN WHITE SLAVERY
CASE AGAINST MAN

Boston, Jan. 27.-A .sordid' story of
alleged abuse to a Is year old girl was
told in municipal court, today, by
pretty Ruth NJ. Stone. of Boston, who
appeared as prosecuting witness
against Frank J. Rifferd, FL, of Spring
field, Mass. Rifferd's arraignment was
the result of a, series of similar prose-
cutions by federal authorities who
have for weeks. been investigating
white slavery cases in Connecticut,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
The girl, who is well developed for
her age, though of slight build, de-
clared that she had been -enticed from
home with a promise of immediate
marriage and that she had been lock-
ed in a room at FL Gray street, Bos-
ton, and kept there for four days with
out food. Mrs. g. p. Eggleston, who
keeps the Gray street boarding house,
said Rifferd and the girl had ce1ne
there. last week, registering as man
and wife. The girl said she had been
subjected. to gross indignities, the de-
tails being unprintabIe.
Rifferd was arrested, yesterday, at
Springfield, where he had gone with
Ruth.
