Shortage of Water.

The water situation in the western part of the county is reported as very serious, says a Norfolk special to the Courant. In Sharon, according to the reports, the town is practically without water and in Lakeville, unless relief arrives soon, it will be necessary to re- sort to pumping, while in Millerton, N. Y., the situation is but little better. Norfolk has no cause for worry at all on this score, as there is an abundant supply in the Lake Wangum reservoir to meet all demands. The water com- pany has been unusually active at the source of supply this summer, having engaged force of men to remove the underbrush around the shores and fish, ing and boating on the lake have been closely restricted.

ONE SEPTEMBER MORN
Fine Fruit Laid on the Editors Table,
 Monday.

Nice things are being "laid on the editors table," these days. For inc stance, Monday morning, Mir. Levi Bronson, of East Canaan, having read of those rare and belated raspberries, dropped in to assure the editor that September raspberries are nothing much to brag about; and in support of his assertion laid on the table a box con taining about pint-just enough for pie-of the most delicious fresh red raspberries, picked that very morning, September 2S. If anybody can lay on the table any nicer berries, or any more of them, let them come.
 The same morning came Frank Johnson, with a pound d.sweet apple measuring IA inches around and weigh ing one pound and an ounce, which he deposited on the table--a perfect speci- men. If it was such an apple as that, which tempted our first mother to climb the tree, in. the Garden, one could hardly blame the lady for shinning up and filling her pockets.

Kennedy RenomInated. .

Congressman William Kennedy, of Nagatuck, was unanimously renomi- mated in the democratic congressional convention held Tuesday in New Mil ford and the race between him and Postmaster James P. Glynn, of Win sted, the republican nominee, is now on. This was the first democratic con- gressional convention held in Litch- field County since the creation of the Fifth district ...
 In his address as chairman Judge Addis declared that Gov Baldwin, the Connecticut state senate and President Wilson and the democratic Congress had made an unexampled record for sane and progressive legislation.
 The name of MT. Kennedy as nominee for Congress was placed in nomination by William J. Neary, of Naugatuck, and the nomination was seconded by Col. Frank M. Chapin, of New Hartford. As there were no other nominations, on motion by Ool. Chapin, MT. Kennedy was nominated by unanimous vote, the delegates voting by rising.
 MT. henneuy, expressing HIS hppre- citation of the honor done him, turned to praise the democratic administration as having handled great economic ques- tions, for the benefit of the people as a whole, the protection of the working classes, the true conservation of resources and the inauguration of a new ora wherein the few shall not rule the many.
 Postmaster E. L. Roberts and Henry B. Ives were the delegates from North Canaan.

SALISBURY WOMAN'S FORTUNE
Son, Who Committed Suicide, Missing
 Fifty Years ," a .a

Son, Who Committed Suicide, Missing Fifty Years. '".. .a..a
 A fortune probably will go to Mrs. Henrietta Ostrander, an aged woman of Salisbury, as the sequel to an auto- mobile accident early this summer, in which A. O. Houghton, a prominent citizen of North Adams, Mass, his daughter and New York guest, Mrs. Hutton, lost their lives, says a special to the Courant.
 | When the driver of the car, John Widders, committed suicide the night after the accident, it was found that he left an estate of about SEQ, 1000, He had been employed in the Houghton family for forty years, but had always refused to talk of his early life except to say that he had once lived with the Shakers. 1t was not known that he had any living relatives, and it was expected that his property would go to | the state. ###. 2"
 Through an accident, however, the mother of the dead man has been found. It seems that woman who formerly lived in North Adams was in Salisbury when the account of the &C., cident reached this town. She repeated the story of the suicide and also his subsequent developments to the effect that Widders had left considerable fortune and no relatives to claian 1t The information reached the ears of Mrs. Ostrander and she began an in- vestigation, which proved beyond doubt that Widders was her long.lost son.
 Mrs. Ostrander says that her hus- band, who was john Winters, deserted her and their three children soon after her son was born, about 1857. When the boy was years old she took him over to Lebanon, N. Y., and left him with the Shakers. Later she married again, The boy, who took the name of Widders, remained with the Shakers until he was 16 years old, when he found work in North Adams. His mother had not heard from him for over fifty years until she learned of his death. Mrs. Ostrander is so years old

He took with him kit of barber's tools belonging to NIT. Rhoades, in satchel, also owned by Rhoades, and was expected to return the same night. He hasn't come back yet, nor has the property of the boss barber been returned.
 Fox got separated from Williams during their sojourn in Hartford, and skipped a train and remained over night in order to find him; but was obliged to give up the quest and return alone, the next day.
 On Thursday Williams telephoned to Mrs. Rhoades, from Hartford, that he intended to come back that night, but failed to show up, and nothing further has been heard from him. Williams seemed likable sort of fellow, good barber, we'll informed and an interesting talker, and he made many friends during his sojourn here.
