Sewer Connections Must Be Made

In another column will be found notice of the board of health relative to the connections to be made with sew CTS and the abolishing of all outhouses.
 The city has spent over sl00,00O for sewer system that all cesspools, drains, outhouses and other disease breeding places may be abe lished. There is a section of the city ordi- nances making connection with the sewer imperative or if it is not done providing for prosecution. The health authorities are pleased to say that there are but comparatively few instances in which the ordinance has not been complied with. The cost of installing inside closets and drains has been in some instances somewhat of hard ship on people who have small means but the sewers have now been conn pleted over year and the authorities believe that there is at this late day little or no excuse for delinquent prop erty owners It is hoped that the few remaining instances will be remedied by the property owners as the authori- ties hope that all connections may be made voluntarily by those whose prop. erty abutts streets through which the sewer passes.

Engine Bumps Caboose

A green hostler at the round house of the New Haven railroad in thls city ran the ;switcher on to the beefhouse siding about midnight Tuesday night and bumped into two caboose cars nearly driving them down on to Front street.
 The hostler came here from East Hartford and was not familiar with the tracks. He started to bring the engine out and was going at fair rate of speed when the engine took the sid ing and hit tho caboose. The two cars lie on the siding after the days run and three men were asleep in one and four in the other. They received a startling awakening from their slum- bers but no one was hurt. The bum- per at the end of the track kept the cars from going over the steep bank into Front street.

BODY IDENTIFIED Suicide Was John DonuoIley of North
 Scituate
Body Buried by the Town Tuesday

The man who committed suicide in the hallway of Central block llast Thursday morning was John Donnol- ley. A number of people who first saw the body did not recognize the man now remember him as an um. brella mender who made occasional visits to Putnam. Thursday after noon man identified the body at Smiths undertaking rooms. He said that while he was a patient at the Day kimball hospital ponnolley was there. Donnolley was picked up in the city and 1t was thought that his fleet were frozen. After he had been warmed up and cleaned mp 1t was found that his feet were not frozen and he was dis charged. Nothing further has devel. oped to throw any light on the cause for his taking his own life. The vial which contained the carbolic acid was found by Captain Murray near Frank. lin'S lunch cart so that it was prob. ably in that vicinity that the man swallowed the poison before returning To the hallway. It was learned that Bonuolley has a half.brother in North Seituate and he was communicated with but did not come to claim the body so it was buried by the town Tuesday.

Escaped Prisoners Enjoy Short Liberty

Frank Maryanik and Abraham Burl, prisoners at the Brooklyn jail, escaped from that institution early Thursday morning by cutting bar from their cell on the corridor of the second floor. A posse of deputy sheritfs, headed by Sheriff Fox and Jailer Fields, started out to SCOUT the country and headed toward the railroad in the vicinity of Hampton. The men were caught on the track in Hampton by Deputy fitis and it was partly due to the inquisi- tiveness of the fugitives that they were so soon rounded up. As the men came down the track they were met by one of the sheriff's posse. To keep them with him he told them that he was searching for some men who had placed ties upon the track to wreck train. The hunted turned hunters and kept with the man to assist in the search. They were led to where Dep uty Pitts was and after short strug- gle were put in irons. The men had the tool which they used in saving their way out of jail. It was a piece of steel whetted to an edge on the stone wall of their cell. Burl is the man sent to jail from the spring term of the superior court at Putnam 10 serve sentence for breaking into the store of Frank T. Preston one night last winter.
