According to the accounts of the affair." Rogers had stopped his team at the crossing, where the gates were down, and was waiting for an oppor- tunity to cross After a time Caleb Shippee, the gate tender, partly raised the gates and, it is claimed signalled to Rogers to go across. Rogers start ed to drive over just as the switching locomotive with a string of cars came down off the house track and from behind another string of cars that ob- scured a view of the track
 The locomotive struck the ice wagon and wrecked it, throwing Rogers from his seat to the ground and in a mixup of the horses, which also went off their feet the animals were no more than superficiaIly hurt.
 Railroad men here set up the claim that Rogers delayed considerably after he was signalled to cross the tracks and that to this delay the accident was due; that he would have been safely across the track if he had started at once.
 An attorney representing Mir. Rogers was at the site of the accident soon after it occurred and it was stated Monday afternoon that demand for settlement for the damage caused will be made of the railroad company.

 ory to Secretary c. D. Hine.

 New Haven, Conn, Sept 25, 1913 MT. c. D. Hine. Secretary, State Board
 of Education, Hartford, Conn.
 Dear Sir: I send you herewith the report of my inspection of the Put nam High school:
 The Putnam school committee has generously and whOleheartedly met the recommendations of your board out lined in my report of March 29. 1913. The changes suggested were of fun damental importance. and their adOp- ton has given the high school an en- tirelY new prospect. The school was weak in 1912-13, today it is strong with prospects of continuous improve ment. The pupils are diligently at work, the teachers are efficient and changes made in the course of study will enable the school to be of greater service to the community.
 I am pleased to note that arrange ments are being made to give instruc tiOnS in manual arts and mechanical drawing, and I wish that opportuni- ties for study in these lines as well as in free hand drawing, might be of fered to grade pupils also.
 The school needs an additional teacher in order to care for Over-large divisions in science, history etc, and to care for subjects now crowded out.
 The following suggestions are of
 1. That an additional teacher be engaged.
 ,. That in the establishment of the tSate Trade school at Putnam, your

 At the Putnam Foundry and Machine company's plant on Monday ten shlfes of the stock of the corporation that were the property of w. j. Turner, formerly connected with the company as general manager, were seld at auo- ton to the highest bidder, who was Samuel Reynolds, he paying $50 share for the stock, @ total of $500 for the small block offered
 Judge l.. H. Fuller acted as auc- tieneer and several bids were received. It was afterwards said by a man con nected with the foundry company that the stock was bought hy MT. Reynolds for the corporation and that the ten shares will be retired. The stock was attached by the foundry company on account of MT. Turner's indebtedness to the concern. MT. Turner's connec- tion with the company ceased some time since.
 It Is generally conceded that the stock of the company which has long been on a six per cent. basis, is far more valuable than is represented by the sale price secured on Monday.
