this time. 1t is understood, the jury stood II to l.
 Mir. HIn was seriously injured April last when a team which he was driv- crossing just east of the Moosup sta- tion. Mir. Hill had his left leg brok- en and toes cut from his right foot besides sustaining other injuries that kept him in the hospital for weeks and more weeks at his home. One of his horses was so badly injured it had to be killed and his team was smash ed.
 The evidence submitted for the de- fence tended to show that the railroad company had taken every precaution to prevent such an accident as befell MT. Hill. He testified that the auto matic signal bell at the crossing was not heard ringing by him just before he. started to cross the track. Witness es for the railroad company testified that they had heard the bell ring ing.
 Brown and Perkins of Norwich were counsel for, MT. Hill. Shepard and Barnett for the railroad company. No Stamps Received Yet. Like other towns in this section of the state, Putnam was without the l necessary stamps to carry out the provisions of the new emergency tax
  when the business week was ended Saturday night One attorney who has been approached for legal advice and instruction by a number of clients who want to be informed fully as tc l what they must do said that the whole proposition seems to be up in the ail at present; that he had written tc a government revenue agent at Hart ford without getting any reply and 1 that the chances are that the stamps required in Putnam will not be avail l able for everyone by Tuesday. He &C., counts for this by the reasoning that the enormous demand belng made upon | the rel enue officials is so great that they cannot handle it as promptly as they would like.
 In the meantime, however, the staInT ! tax is to become effective and those ] who want to keep on doing business and are fearful of-yiolating the law are somewhat worried over the situa- l tion-

building had caught fire from an oTer- heated stove. Flames were tapping briskly at the woodwork and the room was heavily clouded with smoke.
 Running around to the door, Ser geant Young smashed his way through it and gained the interior, but was im- mediately driven out by great volumes of smoke that threatened to suffocate him. After getting a little fresh air, he rushed in again and after peering about discovered Sault calmly sleep ing. By this time the opposite end of the room was a mass of flames.
 After getting Sault to safety, Ser geant Young rushed over to box g, at WoodWard's corner. and pulled in the alarm. By the time the department arrived the little structure was com pletely wrapped in flames and the fire had communicated to a large wooden building occupied in part as a paint shop by Anthony Boulias. Streams of water brought the fire under control in a jiffy, but not before the cottage was completely gutted. More than 1000 gathered to watch the operations.
 The cottage destroyed was formerly a part of the Asa Graves estate and is now owned by his son. ", A. Graves. It has been rented to J. !. Bush. who, 1t was said. had given Sauit permission to sleep there. Afr. Bush lost practi- cally all his clothes and valuab1es. He was not at the cottage>>when the fire broke out.

IN THE FIGHTING
 LIES WITH RUSSIA
Enormous Losses Have Been InfIiot-
 ed on the Germans.

London, Nov. 29, 9.55 p. m.-wAiie deprecaLng the exaggered reports oi Russian successes in the battle in northern Poland, where the German emperor has joined Field Marshal Voa Hindenburg to offer his advice and to encourage his troops, the latest avail able official reports from Russian headquarters statae that the advantage in the fighting still lies with the Rus jan army. It is also officially said thata enormous losses have been in- flicted on the Germans, but no men tion is made of the capture of Ger man divisions, which has been so free ly claimed by the Petrograd cores pondents of London and Paris papers.
 Opposed to this is the German ofi . cial report, which says that the Rus sian attacks have been repulsed and thata the German counter attacks have been successful.
 Some days must elapse before this battle which promises to prove the most decisive of the war is conclud- ed. So far all that is definitely known Is thata the German advance has been brought to standstiil-S onae of the German troops have been part ly or wholly Surrounded bur they are still fighting stubbornly to break theil way through the Russian lines ap- parently to the northward where they hope to join endorsements sent from Thorn.
 In the battle before Cracow the Russians do claim decisive success. During the last week they took 3e,000 Austrian and German prisoners in this region This victory is taken in Pe- trograd to mean that Cracow will nos bear the Russian advance in Silesia from the south but that, with the Aus trian army beaten. it will be necessary only to mask the fortress.
 The Russians likewise announce success on the Austrian side of tho Carpathians and against the Turks in the Caucasus, although in both re- gions the worst of weather has pre- vailed.

MARRIAGE LICENSE CHANGES.
Town Clerk FIass to Advocate Inser- ton of RelationshiP-Woman, Too Should Take Oath as to Truth of Statements.

Town Clerk David Flagg is to take up with the bureau of vital statistics of the state the matter of having in- serted in the forms for marriage H. censes in Connecticut a question that all applicants should be required to answer-as to whether the proposed contracting parties are blood rela- lives. The idea is to prevent such cases as came to light last week. when it was discovered that young man and his niece came here from Northbridge, Mass, last year and took out a license undew which they were married. It has also been suggested that the wo- man named in any license to wed in Connecticut should be required to make oath, as we'll as the man, to the truth of the information given in the license relative to herself and her an- tecedents. At present the male is al- lowed to make oath as to the truth of not only the information about him. self and his people but about his wife to-be anr her people, so far as is required by the questions now contain ed in the license form.
