CIRCUMSTANCES PROBABLE. Opposition to Granting Licenses to Eli Dagenias and Charles T. Senay.

It was learned Saturday that remon- strances will be entered against the granting by the county commissioners of licenses at No. 13 Railroad square, where Eli Dagenias is the applicant and at 1S6 Main street, where Charles T. Senay is the applicant. These re- monstrances, 1t is understood, will be entered for the same reasons as were the remonstrances against these places in past years, principally on account of their location. These remonstrances have previously been sustained by the commissioners, in the case of the Main street place principally on account of a desire to keep one side of that street south of the Main street railroad cross ing free of licensed places. The com missioners had not up to Saturday set a date for coming to Danielson to grant licenses.
 Fifteen Families Now Quarantined.
 Dr. w. H. Judson, health officer and physician representing the borough in the supervision of all patients under quarantine in Danielson, seemed well satisfied Sunday with the manner in which the health problem in Danielson is being controlled and considered the situation we'll in hand.
 The end of this week will witness the release of some of the families that have been shut in. At present fifteen families are quarantined. There is only one new one in the list, this on High street. All the precautionary measures that were taken two weeks ago remain in force and have been strengthened. The present week will be sufficient time for most of the pa tients to recover, or nearly so, from the disease. and if there are no new eases, which have been but very few since quarantine and vaccination was ordered, there will be hopeful anticipa- ton of the end of the difficulty.

 In spite of the heavy rain of which Willimantic cannot seem to get enough this fall, the attendance at the car niVal was large and all seemed quite willing to spend. All of the attrac lions were generously patronized and the hall was filled with dancers from \ o'clock until nearly midnight.
 The carnival appears to have been a success, due in great measure to the efforts of the general committee com posed of F. Nj Lincoln, J. H. Hurley, C. 6. LAFklns, Arthur Bergeron and JO- Ga@@ G%R. @g well as the dancing com- mittee, Arthur Bergeron, Philippe La Paine and Arvid Thornberg.
