EASTERN IaAUGHS@AT MERGER
 The news thai a meeting has been called by certain New England league nagnates in favor of merger with the Eastern association did not strike terror to the hearts of President 9O'Rourke and other Eastern moguls today. frWe are going right ahead with our plans for rganization.'' said OsRourke, "and the actions of these men of no interest tox us. I think the meeting which they have called in Boston Dec. 80 is more for the pur- pose of discussing the New England league situation than to talk merger. It is well known that the New Eng land is $15, ,0o0 in debt and has no means of paying up.7 (
 '-The Eastern directors are meeting with great encouragement fin their plans for the 1916 circuit and by next week we will probably be able to make an official statement that our circuit is organized. Whether this will be six or eight clubs I do not care to- say at this time"
 Although Louis Pfeper, the ring leader fn the merger campaign has been talking loudly about the good of the game it is well known that his only motive is to get a paying city parehtly has no confidence that the merger will go through, however, for he has applied for a job as manager in one of the Eastern cities.

FATALLY TRAMPLED BY
 BULL AT STATE HOSPITAL.
Daniel Flynn Was Knocked Down in Box StaiI-Died from His Injuries.

Daniel Flynn, 53, employed at the Norwich state hospital as a herdman. was knocked down and trampled upon by a bull in box stall in the hospital barn Monday morning dying a few minutes after he had been rescued and taken to the operating room at the hospital.' His ribs on both sides were crushed in the attack that the bull made upon him.
 The animal is a Holstein four year old. dehorned and with 8 ring in it's nose, by which it is led with a staff and attached to a wire in the barnyard during the day. Mir. Flynn has been in the habit of taking the bull out of the box stall every day, first putting some feed into the feedbox in front of the stanchion. In this way, when the bull put his head through the stanchiOn after the feed, the staff could be easily and safely hooked into the ring in the bulls nose and the bull could be backed out of the stanchion and led from the box stall.
 But on Monday morning when MT. Flynn went to take the bull out he varied from his usual practice and un- locked the stall gate and went into the box stall with the staff in his hand to hook it into the ring in the bulls nose. The animal tossed his head out of reach as MT Flynn tried to hook the staff in the ring and as the bull swung his head back the man was knocked down in the stall. Before MT. Flynn could get to his feet the sight of the prostrate man had aroused the bulls passion and the animal jumped on the man. trampling him nearly to death before he could be rescued.
 With Mir. Flynn at the time was one of the patients at the hospital. He ran off and got Martin Murphy, another one of the farmhands, who grabbed a pitchfork and fought the bull off long enough to get MT. Flynn's body out of the stall.
 For the past seven years MT. Flynn has been employed on the state hos pital farm, coming here from Wood stock. In February of last year he was knocked down by the bull but man. aged to get away without injury that time. He was a good workman and faithful in his employment.
 He is survived by his wife and by three children, Mrs. Paul Collins, whose husband is employed at the hospital, Miss Mary Flynn, who is employed on the telephone switchboard at the hos pital and Bernard Flynn, who is also employed at the institution.

To Keep Skin in Fine
 Condition All Summer

It would be much better for the skin if little cream, powder or rouge were used during the heated term Mixed with precipitation, dust and grime, these things are anything but beautify- ing. Ordinary mercoHzed wax will do more for the complexion and without giving an oily, streaked;- spotted or pasty appearance. It is the ideal ap plication for the season, as it not only keeps the pores clean. but daily re- moves particles of scarf skin which have been soiled by dirt or weather. By constantly keeping the complexion clear, white, satiny. it does. more tow ard perpetuating a youthful counte- nance than any or the arts or artifices commonly employed. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, will completely renovate the worst complexion. It is applied at night like cold cream and washed off in the morning.
 To keep the skin from sagging or wrinkling, or to overcome such condi- tion, there's nothing better than a face bath made by dissolving 1 ounce pow dered saxolite in F pint witch hazel.

WILL HAVE FIVE FAIRGROUNDS
Executive Comittee Norwich Association Settle Upon Some Plans for the Season-Mss Mary Mckay to be in Charge-Some New Equipment to be Secured.

Plans for the fourth season of the Norwich Fairgrounds were discussed at meeting of the executive commit tee of the Playground association held Monday afternoon at o'clock in the rooms of the Norwich Board of Trade in the Thayer building. The outlines of the summers activities thus arriv ed at will be presented at a meeting of the directors of the association to be held in the same place at five o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Pres ident J. B. Stanton presided at the meeting on Monday,and Miss Eliza beth Hunting, Arthur L. Peale and John. NJ. Lee were the others in at tendance.
 Five playgrounds are to be conduct ed this year, these being Lake street the largest and most used of all the recrection spots, Greenevil1e, the Falls, Hobart avenue and Pearl street, and the idea of continuing a playground at Thamesville has been necessarily abandoned, because the school yard there does not give at all adequate facilities and there is no other place in that section that is

suitable. Hobart avenue was closed last summer, due to the repairs on the school that were going on at that time there.
 Miss Mary F. Mckay, under whose supervision the playground activities were so successfully carried through last summer, will again be in charge during the coming season, which will probably begin on Monday, July 12, or possibly during the week preced- ing.
 In regard to equipment, it will be necessary to secure some new ..appar- atus and certain repairs will have to be made in order to get the various grounds into readiness for their busy season. These and various other mat ters will come before the directors on Thursday.
 The report of Treasurer Lee on the proceeds from the recent Fairgrounds day was not completed on Monday, but the figures at hand were encour- aging. It is believed that they will not vary much from the preliminary report made some time ago, about $500 net proceeds from that day.

DROWNED MAN IS
 PROBABLY JULIUS CoUCHoN.
Said to Have a Family in Lowell and
 Parents in WiIimantic.

Investigations pushed by Undertaken Hourigan on Monday resulted late in the evening in making it probable that the man who was drowned Sunday afternoon in the ShetuCket river was Julius CouchOn of Lowell and that he has a wife, son and daughter there. It is also believed that the mans father and mother are MT. and Mrs. Louis Couchon. residing at 2 Edn street, Willimantic.
 By securing the number of the bag gage check found in the drowned mans s clothes and reporting it to the New Haven railroad company, the piece of baggage which it represented, a new dress suit case, was sent on here from Norwood Central and delivered to the undertaken. Among other things, the dress suit case was found to contain a guarantee for a suit of clothing bought in Brattleboro on May Il and issued to Julius CouchOn. There was also a pair of overalls in a laundry bundle from Lowell with the name COuchon on the laundry ticket, which was dated June 23. Other articles in the dress suit case were a shirt, several pairs of good socks, some of them silk a hammer and several sizes of small wrenches that looked as if the man were a mill worker.
 A telegram to the Brattleboro police brought the answer late in the after noon that they had known of a Julius Couchon who worked in a. mill there, and they furnished the information that he probably lived in Lowell.
 Late in the afternoon a Frenchman who repairs sewing machines saw the body at the Undertaker's and claimed he knew who he was and that his par ents, MT. and Mrs. Louis Couchon, lived in Willimantic. The Frenchman said he had repaired sewing machine at their home last week.
 Earlier in the day two men from Occum had seen the body of the drowned man and asid they felt posi- tive he was a man named John Moren- cy. who had been away from Occum for several months Morency, it was found, is not in Occums now.
