Peach Crop Damaged

]. III. Hale, the peach king, states
that the Connecticut market crop this
year would be a neglible quality. Last
year this state had more peaches than
any other in the union. The trouble
this time has been, of course, the low
temperature. AS rule trees on high
places escape the worst cold, as that
rolls down the hills, and the valleys
have blower temperatures than the
highlands
However, this winter there was
one Tuesday when the thermome-
ter was below zero and the wind
was very high. That did for the high
land trees. 1t was what seldom comes
along. A week or so ago there was Sc
we're cold in the lowlands and the high
places escaped. But as they had been
hit already, that made little difference.
The net result of the two cold snaps,
is that one time the highland got it
and the other time the lowlands suf
fered and therefore both have been hit.
There may be enough fruit TO eat, but
the market supply will be lacking.

FOREST FIRES
Suggestions From State Fire Warden
An Important Problem 10 Woodland
Owners

With the return of spring the dan
ger from forest fires is again one of the
most important problems of the wood
land owner. State Fire Warden Wal
ter .. Filley is sending out warnings
and suggestions to have the citizens
cooperate and try to have as little dam
age as possible from fire this spring.
He suggests that each one familiarize
himself with the laws on the subject
and observe them closely.
In this state the fire danger is great
est in spring and fall, just when people
are burning brush to clear the land or
dispose of trash. Hunting, fishing
and picnic parties bring many people
into the country and greatly increase
the danger of fires caused by careless
ness. In general the people from the
city are not careful to respect property
rights of others. This is due either to
lack of knowledge or because of law
lessness. For example, smokers do
not take pains to eXtinguish matches,
cigars, cigarettes, and heels from pipes
when thrown on the ground. Fires
are built upon land without securing
the owners permission and without
clearing the twenty feet required by
law. The number of fires from these
causes is well shown by the great in
| crease in fires on holidays.

COMMON COUNCIL

At an adjourned meeting of the COM
mon council held Tuesday evening
there were present Mayor Macdonald,
Aldermen Johnson, Dady, Clark,
Byrne, DIVERT, Padgett, Bouthllette
and LaRue. Aldermen LaRue, john
son and Byrne were appointed conf
mittee to see to the carrying out of the
layout of Woodstock avenue as previ-
ously advertised. 1t was voted to pay
the bills of the judgment creditors of
the Connecticut Contracting Company,
money in the city's hands having been
garnisheed by the creditors. Corpora
ton Counsel Torrey explained that he
had received communication from
the receiver Of the company authoriz-
ing the city to pay the moneyiover and
that the city would be saved harmless
in so doing.
Alderman LaRue charged Health
Officer DR.. l.. o. Morasse with using
his office unfairly. He told the coun-
ell that he, DR.. LaRue, had diphthe.
ria patient in family in the north end
of the city The child and the parents
of the child were very anxious TO have
it return to school. He forbad the re-
turn of the child and the health officer
was called and told the family that If
he had had the child for a patient 1t
would have been allowed to return to
school before. DIR. LaRue showed a
card in response to culture he had
sent to Middletown showing that the
child then showed diphtheria germs,
this at time after the health officer
had made bis statement to the family.
Aldermen Padgett, Johnson and Dady
were appointed a committee to investi-
gate the matter.

Early Morning Fire

An alarm of fire from box "a at 10
Friday morning called the fire depart
ment to a house owned by ii. s. Morse
on School street. The house is practi-
cally destroyed, all that remains being
the outer walls up to the second story
1t is thought that the fire caught from
an overheated furnace. The house is
two story and one-balf frame building
and was unoccupied although the IA
mily of j. +. S. Cain had started TO
move liz and one or two loads of their
household effects had been put in the
building. A fire was started in the
furnace TO have the house warm Fri
day and it is thought that to this was
due the origin of the fire. When the
firemen arrived the first floor was just
falling and the whole inside of the
house was ablaze. The about rang at
$50. The loss is estimated at $500
and insurance is carried to the amount
of 81 800.

of the best known cotton manufacture

in religious publication that will in.
terest those hereabouts who know him.
Mr.. Messenger became member of a

later went to Illinois and started a re-

called the Burning Bush. He from

marks about people in this section who
had not agreed with his views and in
the statement he expresses his sorrow
and error. The statement is as follows:
A CONFESSION
sFor years / have been in error on
several important points in my religi.

many Christian people whom | am
now convinced that God honors aud

that these people were all in the wrong
and doomed to hell because they die
not agree with me and the small cote
RE | trained with, and that minutes
mally small number of people connect
ed with me were the only ones who
could be right.
| have been in error in believing
that the New Testament injunction
Lay not up for yourselves treasures
upon earth, was a command to pu
your wealth into the hands of certain
self appointed stewards TO use as they
saw fit without rendering any account
whatever of their stewardship.
These errors inevitably led to censo
| rious critical spirit which has coloreC
to greater or less extent my publ,
work by voice and pen. There ha
| been criticism without investigation
in fact it misled me TO almost tota
separation from all other religion
bodies, other than the one | was con
necled with, LEAKING me incapable 0

acts, motives or spiritual condition Q

During the past ten years of constan
writing and preaching, these error
have prevailed, how far-reaching the.
have been ON others it would be impos
sible for me 10 tell, much in detail ha

of all these sad and deeply reg rette'
facts for which | am extremely sorry

ENGLAND TO CLEAR

German and Austrian Vessels
Interned in Canal Must
Leave, London Says.

LONDON, Oct. 22-The British for
eign office today sent a note to all for
eign powers formally notifying them of
fthe governments intention to remove
from the Suez canal all German and
Austrian ships which have taken refuge
there and which have not already been
detained on account OF hostile acts.
The British government takes the po-
stton that the German and Austrian
vessels which have informed themselves
in the canal ard the waters Immediately
adjoining are putting the canal ports to
use that was never contemplated by the
canal convention.
These vessels all have their crews on
board. and it is reported here that a
number of incidents have occurred
which have led the government to be-
lieve that these alien enemies contem-
plate an attempt to destroy the canal
1t has not yet been decided what will
be done with these vessels. They have
not previously been interfered with by
the government because there was no
desire to establish precedent in connec-
ton with them. 1t Is believed that all
will now be sent to British ports and
their future passed on by the prize
courts.
