New York Couple Find
Lying Stories Led
to Separation
Other Out Of Town Couples Come
Here to Secure Marriage
Licenses

Having discovered, they say, that
their divorce, secured several months
ago, was based on faIsehood invented
by enemies, William c.. Opperman, d
manufacturer of New York city, aged
34 yeans, brought his former wife, Ed
ma Chippenden, aged 2S, to this city,
today, that they might be remarked.
Mr.. Opperman and his former wife,
were first married two years ago.
They appeared a most devoted couple
when they presented themselves at tn e
office of Town Clerk William Thomas
in the City Hall this forenoon to Sc
cure their second marriage license in
many years The former Mrs. OPP
perman was handsomely gowned, and
Mr.. Opperman displayed a bulky. bun
die of bank notes when he paid the
customary 4icense fee.
They explained that they had been
estranged by lying stories, and that on
learning the real conditions they de-
cided that they should remain no
longer apart. Owing to the easier
method of re-marrying, under the
conditions, in Connecticut, they de-
cided to come to this city and left the
metropolis on morning express. They
expect to be married here tomorrow.
Others who planned to marry DUR
ing the EastertiIne are Stanley J. Bar
ton, aged %, and Jessie 7. Hunger
ford, 21, both of whom came from
New Milford this forenoon; and Fran
els F. Peck, aged "a, of New Haven,
and Nellie N. Edwards, the same age.
Both these couples secured marriage
licenses before the town cherk closed
his office for the day, at noon.

Deep Mud at Crescent Avenue
and KnOWIt0n Street Causes
Accident When Fire Is
Discovered at BurTItt
Lumber Go.

The auto hose cart of No. engine
company was wrecked this morning
at Know1ton street and Crescent ave-
nue. while responding to an alarm
from Box 422 at the A. w. Burritt
Lumber Co. The auto slzidded in the
deep mud in front of the Connecticut
Web and Buckle company and side
swiped a hydrant
Assistant Chief Jacob Horkheimer,
who was riding on the rear of the
engine, was thrown into the roadway
and was bruised up a bit. The other
fremen escaped by jumping, and all
got liberal mud bath.
The running board OF the engine
wasf smashed and a rear mud guard
was ripped off, The auto was max
ing pretty fast time and Driver Wha-
len was unable to right it when it
started to skid. The smashed mud
guard got tangled up in the chain
drive and the engine could not pro-
ceed to the fire. Capt. Plat imme-
diately notified headquarters and No.
1 engine company was depatched to
the fire from John street.
The damaged auto was sent to the
repair shop this noon by Chief
Mooney. AS no other apparatus is
available just now for relief duty.
No 2 engine house will be shy one
company's complement until damages
are repaired.
The fire this morning was in a kiln
dry at the Burritt Lumber company.
The kiln is located in a brick build
ing, just over the boiler rooms. The
fire was discovered by an enploye
who saw smoke issuing from the
caves Of the building and an alarm
was turned in from Box 422.
A big section of the roof was burn
ed away and part of the interior of
the building was gutted. Because Of
the great quantity of wood in the
building, the firemen experienced
some difficulty in fighting the blaze.
They were at, the fire for over two
hours.
Chief Mooney said he believed the
fire was caused by a steam pipe,
which ran through the dry room to
the roof. The condition of the wood
was such that it was most combusti-
Bile.
James Te1ford, assistant treasurer
of the company, said that about $500
worth of hard wood was in the dry
ing room. Some of this is damaged
by water and chemicals, but not
much has been destroyed by fire. He
believed that $1,000 will fully cover
the damage

GAGS HERSELF TO
PREVENT OUTCRY
Then ENDS LIFE
Mrs. G. B. Hills Twice
SIaSheS Throat
With Razor
Had Suffered Shock and Also
Experienced Much WOrrin1ent
Over Litigation

After an illness extending over a
period of two years eliminating in a
severe nervous breakdown, which re
uuired the constant attention Of a
graduate nurse at her bedside, Mrs.
George B. Hills, a resident of the Put
ney District in the town of Stratford
last night committed suicide by cut
ting her throat with a razor while nus
band and nurse were within an ad-
joining room.
The act was sensational in the ex-
treme, as the victim took almost
1naniacaI precautions to prevent her
intention becoming known by the per-
sons who with an open door were
seated less than fifteen feet distant.
According to ithe relation of facts
laid before Medical Examiner William
B. Coggswe1l, called from Stratford to
view the body, Mrs. Hills, who had
been under the care of DR.. Coggswe1l,
had earlier in the day during the alb
sence from the room of her attending
nurse, secured from a drawer the
razor of her husband. This she had
evidently placed beneath her pillow.
In the early evening she had appeared
&n a particularly elated state of mind
and great hopes were being entertain
ed for her early recovery from the
nervous breakdown which had kept
her in bed. Shortly before eleven she
expressed her desire to sleep and the
nurse withdrew to the adjoining sit
ting-room where under the glow Of
reading lamp Mr.. Hills had already
seated himself with the daily paper.
About 1880 the sound of a, peculiar
gurgle as if someone breathing heavily
from asthma or catarrh, came from
the bedroom and caused the nurse to
step to the open doorway. There
with her head completely wrapped in
ehawIs and sheets to prevent Outcry,
lay Mrs. Hills, her neck cut from ear
to ear and razor c1utched in her
two jugular VEINS had been severed
twice by two cuts about four inches in
length. Assistance was summoned by
telephone but before arrival of a ply
Eician she had expired A permit for
the burial of the body will be issued
today Besides her husband Mrs. Hills
is survived by one son.
An intimate friend of the deceased
woman to a reporter for The Farmer
today said: Mrs. Hills had long en-
dured great mental as well as physical
suffering in silence. Two years ago
she was the victim of a paralytic
shock which was followed by a second
in July, last. Brooding over these at
tacks as well as over protracted littga-
tion over the will of the late Charles
Booth, for whom she had been house
keeper in the homestead for a period
of over twenty years, is thought to
have recently unbalanced her mind.
She was extremely morbid and upon
several occasions had intimated sui
cidaI intentions To guard against
such an act as well as to care for her
shattered nerves, a nurse had been
recommended by the attending physi-
cian."
