1 watch who had come not so much to dance as to witness the scene from the balcony or reserved sections of the 1 main floor.
 The music for the concert and the dance programme of 20 numbers was by the Phoenix. orchestra, which play ed excellently. Colonel F. B. Warren was the prompter for the number of other than round dances on the pro- gramme.
 Captain E. L. Darbie of the Thir- teenth company was floor director, with | Lieut. F. E. Withee of the Thirteenth company as assistant, and Sergeants Ira A. Warren and John E. Casey and Cook c. A. Hamilton as aids
 The grand march was led by Col H. s. Dorsey of New London and Mrs. About 60 couples were in the march which was very pretty affair direct ed by Capt. E. l.. Darbie. Not so many came out for the dance as was ex- pected but about 150 were present and enjoyed a very pleasant evening.
 Mrs. kiwier Lost $70.
 LadisIaw Kiwier, resident in Water street, reported to Chief George M. Filling Thursday morning that Mrs. Kiwier had lost a roll of $70 in ten dollar bills, wrapped in handk kerchfef- The money was lost at some point be- tween the Evans building and the low CT eend of Water street, but though a search was immediately instituted over the short distance and continued through the raging storm, no trace of the money could be found. The Kiwier family recently came here to work in local cotton mill.
 Against Telling Park Trees.
 Nearly 150 names have been signed to the petitions against the cutting down of the row of trees on the north side of Reynolds street and the south side of Davis park and the indications are now exceedingly strong that the trees will not be removed, though there has been no official decision on the matter as yet. The protest against the removal is so strong and so well based, however, that those opposed to the cutting feel that they have almost won their case.
 Backed His Horse Just in Time.
 J. E. Potter of Elmvi1le had a mar row escape from injury when the giant elm in Westfeld was blown over by the storm Thursday morning. MT. Pot ter was driving along with his fish cart when he heard the tree begin to crack and give notice of toppling over. He sensed the situation and began to back his horse just getting clear of the wreck that carried down telephone ca bles and electric wires in a general mass of wreckage.

From all parts of Windham coun- ty reports are looked for this morning were storm of Thursday. This is indi- cated by the first reports, that began to come in Thursday.
 Few in the city ever saw it rain harder than 1t did here during Thurs day afternoon when from three to four o'clock the water fell in sheets. A high wind drove and whipped the water about until much of it reached earth as spray.
 The first reports of damage told Of telephone poles knocked over, roofs torn off and lowiands, with the build ings upon them, flooded.
 Here in the city the wind ripped off a large section of the tin roof over the Putnam inn. The tin came off with a rip and tear that attracted attention and those who gazed saw sections yards square futtering in the wind, like a 1oosened sail. On oth- CT buildings in the city the small sec tions of roofing were torn off and oth- CTS notably the Union block, the loss of roofing material was threatened at every minute.
 Windows were smashed out of homes by the force of the gale and in window was noticed going just in time to save it.
 Close watch was kept of the Quin- ebaug river, which was rising rapidly OuflnS the d4lG1uCOus laO tOldI I1oS during the day being about three feet Water was pouring over CargiH falls in beautiful rushing mass. The old Morse baseball grounds were under water early in the afternoon, while south of the city Wheaton's flats were being gradually inundated. At dark the river was at as high @ point as it has reached in many years but the danger was lessened on account of the absence of ice.
 On Bridge street telephone pole was broken off by the Lo4 ce of the wind and was leaning over against the veranda of a house.
 The storm was so severe that the business section of the city was prac- tically deserted during the greater part of the afternoon.
 Landlord E. c. Rogers of the Put nam Inn said Thursday night that he would be satisfied if he could re- store his house to it's former condition at cost of from s2000 to 330o0. When the wind ripped the roof off the build ing the worst of the deluge of the afternoon had not commenced. The terrific downpour of the next two or three hours allowed a great quantity of water to get into the hotel. This water worked itself down to the street level and practically ruined the dec orations, and many of the furnishings large pieces and the ruin wrought was so general that the redecoration of the building will be an expensive propo- sition. The injuries from the storm will not prevent the house from doing business as usual however, excepting in reducing the number of rentable rooms for the present

In all the storm of Thursday after noon, when the rain was falling in torrents there was a wedding in the Congregational church, Rev. F. D. Sargent marrying Miss Rosalie H. A. Reimo1d. 23, and Carlton Randall Dean. 23, both of Worcester.
 The bridal party did not come alone, but with two other couples, their friends. The group was driven through the pouring rain in a. closed touring car which picked them ur at the railroad station after the form ality of getting a marriage license and other incidenta1s. had been completed
 It is not usual for out of town couples who come here to be married to ask to have the ceremony perform ed in the church. but in this case the visitors asked for the privilege and 1t was readily granted.
 MT. Dean is 8 manufacturer in Wor- cester, 1t is shown by the marriage H- cense. He Is the son of MT. Oliver M. Dean. The bride also lives in Worces- ter. She Is the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Abraham Reimold and was born in Philadelphia.
 Coming from the church leaning on the arm of her husband Mrs. Dean's face was wreathed in smiles and the indications were that no amount of rain could dampen her spirits on such a glad, if wealtherwise gloomy and temna2tuous day. Over hAP travaHnT

THE BRIGHTER DAY.

Yesterday the joys of life were ours. No thought was taken of heetfng hours. Full crimsoned health pulsed in our
 veins,
 No heed was given to loss or gains; Our carefree hearts knew naUght O1
 strife,
 Today the heart may be oppressed, The yearning soul may seek for resty Ambition crushe .das yet uncrowned; And doubt, and pain, and bodY's thraU Turn joy to ashes; laughter, gall. Tomorrow, with it's smiling face, Bids hope to beckon in the race: For health and joy ride on its crest. So banfsh fear within the breast. And birds and flowers shall skirt tho
 way
 That leads unto that brighter day.

DAVIS THEATRE.
Tho Spendthrift, Tonight.

 If indication counts for anything the Davis theatre will be packed Friday
 night to witness Potter Emerson Browns production of The Spendthrift. MT. Brown is also author of Fool There Was, both plays had success runs in New York city, and are writ 1ngs of the present day. In brief it tells of business mans ambitions to succeed, and a wife's extravaSance, who almost brings her faithful hus- band to ruin and bankruptcy. It also sends out a warning to the thought less. The play is brilliantly blended but at no time does it resort to any thing but dignity, refinement of the highest social order.
 Miss MyrAle is happily cast in her spendshrfft MT. Burtfn as Richard Ward, the husband, Messrs. Depew, Hall, Piel, also Mrs LongsberIy, Rus sell and Reynor will all ne suitably cast in congenial parts.

 Messrs. Shubert and William A. Brady are sending us the big New York company in Graham Moffat's Strings, at the Davis theatre. It comes here direct from a years engagement at the Comedy theatre, New York, and with the original imported company that has been such an important fac- tor in the success of MT. Moffat's play There is in it a pretty fantastic little story quaint settings and costuming, and agreeable humor. It is an enter ta.innent of charm and appeals to all classes of xheatregoers. The title arises from the fact that Bunty solves all domestic entanglements that arise during the course of the comedy. In other words she pulls the strings Bunty is the daughter of a Scotch vil- 1age grocer in about 1860. Bunty's father. Tammas Biggar, is being in- 6uced to marry one Susie Simpson, who years before gave old man Big gar some money to invest for her but he used it to pay off his sons debt instead At the same time there ap- pears Helen Dunlop to whom Tammas at one time was engaged to be mar yied. Bunty, who has love dNffair of her own. now steps in and straightens out the complications. The entire ac- ton of.the play takes place in two days. The company that Messrs. Shu bert and William A. Brady are sending us includes Molly Pearson, Edmund Beresford. Vera Pole. Ethelbert Hales, 1 Sanderson Moffat, Amy Singleton, 1 Margaret Nybloc, J. E. MacGregor, Marjorie gDasgidson, Leonard Booker and others.
 The play comes here direct from a two months engagement at the Ma jectic theatre, Boston. Remember Thursday evening April 3rd.

VALUED ELM AT $1,ooo.
Wird Ruins Grand Old Tree in Grounds
 of Thomas Adams

monster elm, one of the very larg- est in eastern Connecticut, was split apart, and a half section of it blown to The ground in the gale that swept over Danfelson Thursday. The tree is loca ted on the property of Thomas Adams, in WestfieId, near Davis switch It was approximately 100 feet in height had a spread of over 60 feet at the top and was close to six feet in diameter at the base. Survivor of the storms of probably two centuries and apparent ly supreme against their probable tests for a long time to come, the giant tree was rent by the fury of Thursdays gale and a great part of it crashed down to the street, carrying away electric light wires and telephone cable, leading to Dayville. The over head work of the trolley line which is on the opposite side of the street at that point, escaped injury.
 Throughout the afternoon that DOT ton of the great tree which remained standing sWayed dangerously under the flashing of the wind and threatened at every moment to topple over on the cottage, which it would crush undoubt- edly as easily as it would an eggshel1, for 1t contains tons of wood. It's great size made any attempt to sustain it with guys or support it in any other way a hopeless task
 MT. Adams greatly dep1ores the loss of the tree, for which he said he would not accept S1 900. It was @ magnificent arbOreal growth, certain to attract and hold the attention of anyone who loves the beautiful things in nature. Some of it's branches were of a diameter in excess of that of the trunk of an ordi- nary large tree and it's whole structure was on beautiful lines.
 From various sections of the town and from surrounding towns came re- ports of damage from the storm. Wire service companies had lines and poles damaged, and in some instances chinn- hi iG latter was the case at the home of F. E. Colvin, Maple street, where por- tion of the chimney was swept away and other damage done.
