"firefIy" Manager Arrested am
 Discharged.

Jack Shoemaker, manager Of the nFirefiyp company which showed here last night had a disagreeaple exper- fence this noon.
 It seems that a man and his wife, two members Of the company, were discharged and paid of after the per formance. Thereiwa some loud ar gument before the matter was settled and they parted with the management under no pleasant circumstances.
 The man ,accosted the manager on the street and threatened to do him in- jury and then threatened to,have him arrested. Just before the l2.4O train for Worcester pulled out with the com pany on board bound for Southbridge, the husband found Captain Murray and told him that the manager had as. saulted his wife. The officer boarded the train and took the manager of. Later, when the wife heard of what bod been done, she appeared and said 1t was done without her knowledge and that she did not wish to appear against MT. Shoemaker. She said she was satisfied and was sorry that he had been arrested. He was immediately set at liberty.
 MT. Shoemaker appeared to be very man. He said' he had been having trouble with the couple and could stand 1t no longer so paid them two weeks in advance and dis charged them. He thought the arrest was for revenge as he said that the charge vas false and several of the male members of the company re- mained behind to see him through his experience.

 The suit for divorce brought by Mrs. Vada Van Valkenburgh, the former "Sl0,o00, 900 widow,P against Philip Van Valkenburgh, an aged lawyer, will be heard here Thursday. Mrs. Van Valkenburgh charges that her husband deserted her in January, 1910. They were married in Greenwich, Conn.,, on Nov. 23, 1909.
 The suit was instituted last April and the trial day set for May 6, but the case was postponed that time. Mir. Van Valkenburgh was said to be in Europe then, as was his wife. He is still there, 1t is believed, although, if he is to flight the divorce suit, 1t will be necessary for him to appear per sonally in court. When the proceed ing was brought, friends said he would not make contest. It will not be ne- cessary for Mrs. Van Valkenburgh to appear, as her deposition will suffice.
 For the purpose of bringing the &C., tion, Mrs. Van Valkenburgh establish ed residence at Pomfret, three years ago.
 Van yalkenburgh, who was report ed to be millionaire at the time of his marriage, was declared an involuntary bankrupt last July. The claims against him totaled about $i3, ,000s His creditors tried to locate him but failed.
 Mrs. Van Valkenburgh has brought several suits against her husband. The first, for separation in New York, was dropped. Last fall she sued him for Sl00000 to cover her living expeD- ses. That suit was dropped after, it was reported, Van Valkenburgh had settled for the full amount.
 The above case is not being tried to- day as the parties In interest could not get together. It is possible that the case may come up the 26th but this is not certain.

of the attorneys and will prob.
ably hand down it's decision
to-day.

| If we can organize good roads
team that will work like a base
bail team, the hot weather will
not interfere with building good
roads.
1t is all right to grade and
shape the roads, in fact the first
thing and the proper thing to do,
but that is not all; it does not
end there, for the work is only
commenced when the road is
properly shaped and graded.
After this is done then comes
the work with the roller and drag
to keep the road in shape; this
should be done as often as nee
essary, and the necessity of roll
ing and dragging will be less
frequent as the road gradually
packs and becomes hard by rea
son of the traffic over it. AS Of
ten as the road is cut down it
should be dragged and reshaped
until it becomes hard and firm.
To shape road nicely and then
leave it for wagons to cut down
and the rains to wash away, is a
waste of time and labor, because
the old road was better for
vehicles to travel over, not having
all the loose material to go over.
Start right, then keep at it as
long as the necessity exists, is
the way to have good roads.
