POSTMASTER APPOINT
MENT THE GREAT ISSUE
HOSSNGER WITHDRAWS-PARTY LEADERSHIP
EIGURE.S IN ThE CONTEST,

The Postmaster appointment
still occupies the center of the
stage. The College Endowment,
the Jacobs decision, even the new
printing plant down Depot Road,
take minor place beside the Post
master contest. AS predicted last
week, Hossinger withdrew. Rather
than settle this muddled the issue.
acticallyevery one in Newark,
candidates included, conceded the
office to Mr.. Hossinger if he want
ed it. Here is where Salisbury
made his usual mistake. Instead
of making the appointment and
dealing with few disappoint-
ments, he has now the citizens of
three hundreds interested, all
forming opinions, practically all
adverse to the Senator. The most
staunch Salisbury men have re-
trained from defending his action.
SO much has this opinion gained
ground, that business judgment
instead of politics is playing a
part With Hossinger out Bowen
has gained more than either of
the other candidates. 1t is under
stood that the Fisher following is
breaking up with a growing ten
dency to Bowen. In a contest of
this kind, Bowen's history works
in his favor. His Democracy is
unquestioned yet he has neve,
taken part in the petty party
squabbles. This gives him an ad
vantage over Fisher. AS a leader
of the Eastern district, Fisher
naturally has made political enc

The gift of S500,000 was COM

Greenville. A letter was received
from the donor setting forth his
desire to give the money for the de-

posing secrecy as to his identity.
The offer came as a most pleasant
surprise to the members of the ex-

was accepted by that committee
subject to the action of the board
of trustees of the college. 1t goes
without saying that the trustees

He urged the court to impose a heavy fine if the accused would plead guilty to simple assault, as he said he did not believe White intended to use the gun except to frighten the officer, and had no intention of killing him.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade and Business Mems association, held Tuesday eve ming, J. W. Gaffey of the V. U. Tel egraph company furnished an interest ing talk, illustrated with stereopticon views. entitled The Story of the Tel egraph.

SUPERIOR COURT.
Suit Over North Windham Pond Oliver White Of Danieison Pays $2o0 Fine-JaiI for Edward BIay.

Judge James H. Webb occupied the bench at a short session of the superior court held in this city Tuesday morn ing at 10 o'clock. Court was opened with prayer by Rev. Charles l.. Adams of St. Paurs F. E. church.
 The first matter heard was the argu- ment of a demurrer by Attorneys Dan ahey and Harvey in the case of Clio Batta Ognio vs. the Elm Farm Milk company. The plaintiffs are the own CTS of a right to take water from a pond on the north Windham road near Phelps Crossing, and the defendants have the right to cut ice from the pond Last summer the defendants let the water out of the pond, in the process of rebuilding and repairing the dam, and this suit is brought to de- termine whether they had any right to so interfere with the prior right of the plaintiffs to take water. The de- fense claimed is that the work was necessary to maintain the pond, and the defendants had been delegated the rights of the owner of the land to keep the dam in repair. Decision was re- served.
 Three accused persons were put to plea. The first was Oliver White, Jr., of DanieIson, arraigned on the charge of assault with intent to kill a state

JEREMIAH o'sULLIvAN DEAD.
Successful Contractor Known Through out Eastern Connecticut for His Ability and Integrity.

Jeremiah O'Sullivan, one of the best | known of Willimantic's citizens, died at his home, 7S Maple avenue, about g o'clock Tuesday morning. Ffbroid phthisis was the cause of death. MT. O'Sullivan had been in poor health for some time and retired from active | business as contractor and builder some IS months ago. About a week ago his condition became serious and he was unable to get outdoors. His end was not unexpected.
 He was born March IT, 1850, in Colaris, County Kerry, Ireland, the son of Otho and Mary (Shannahan) O'Sul- hvan. The family fortunes were de- pleted on account of religious troubles during the reign of King James and later the family migrated to this coun- try.
 Otho O'Sullican came to this country with his family in 1856, settling in New York, but soon moving to Jewett City. Jeremiah O'Sullivan went to work at the age of 13 and soon entered the employ of the Willimantic Linen company. Later he took up the trade of contracting and building, working under Chappell & Potter, and later forming the firm of Casey & O'Sulli- van. In 1877 he went into business for himself and continued until the fall of 1913, when he retired. Many important buildings in eastern Connecticut were built under MT. O'Sullivans direction.
 The deceased was @ director of the Willimantic Building and Loan asso- ciaticn, a director of the Willimantic Savings institute, president of St. Vim cent de Paul society, associate member of San Jose council, No. IA, K. of C., and of the local division of the A. O. H., 8 director and member of the ex- ecutive committee of St. Joseph's hos pital, honorary member of the Putnam Phalanx and of the Montgomery Hose company. He was a man of fine busi- ness character and will be greatly missed in the community of which he has always been a most valued and honored member.
 There survive the deceased his wife, formerly Mary A. Began, two brothers, Daniel O'Sullivan of Tennessee and Otho O'Sullivan of this city, and sister Mrs. Ann Murphy, also of Will hmantic,

woMAN's COLLEGE DESCRIBED.
Mrs. S. H. Williams Explains to Wom ans Club and Guests Merits of Nev State institution.

At the meeting of the Willimantic Woman's club Tuesday afternoon Mrs. S. H. Williams delivered an instructive and comprehensive lecture on the Con- necticut Woman's college. Guests from Anne Wood Elderlin chapter, D. A. R., which has recently contributed S100 to the college fund, and young women from the Windham High school, with the club members, made up good sized and appreciative audience.
 Mrs. Williams spoke briefly on Con necticuts need for a woman's college, the history of the college, it's incep- ton by the Hartford College club, and the personal efforts of Miss Elizabeth Wright, a Wesleyan graduate, now registrar of the new college.
 Reasons for the choice of the college site were dwelt upon and its beauty and advantages shown in photograph and word picture. The speaker stated that the college would open in the fall with two dormitories, Plant and Black stone, and a science hall, splendidly equipped for science and containing the administration and class rooms. The refectory which the institution had ex- pected to put up will be replaced by two houses already on the grounds.
 These houses are joined and form at

one end laundry, kitchen. etc, with a dining room in the central portion. Dr. Sykes, the president, and his Family have consented to live temporarily In the other end building, while members of the faculty will have suites over the main dining hall. A plan showing the future appearance of the college was displayed.
 The architecture of the smaller buildings will be domestic Tudor, and the larger ones associated collegiate Gothic. The college will confer the degrees of B. A. and B. $. and its en- trance requirements are similar to those of all the leading colleges. The curriculum differs from others in that it offers a vocational course, to the need for which other universities and colleges are just waking up. The girls dormitories have rooms 10 by IA, hot and cold water, closet and two windows in each room. It is to be hoped oppor- tunities for a girl to help herself will be offered. A library fund is being raised, and scholarships are being founded all over the state. The regis tration at present is 59, 3T of whom will be resident. Twelve girls will commute from Norwich, one from Fish CTS Island and one from Lyme. New York furnishes six applicants, Vermont one, Rhode Island one and Connecticut 29. There is one special student regis tered.
 Mrs. Williams summed up the assets of the new college under three heads an ideal site, a liberal endowment, and provision for a broad education, but stated that Connecticut and Connecti- cut women must be looked to for the buildings.
 The speaker was accorded a vote of thanks after the lecture. During the afternoon Mrs. George M. Graves sang Nevin's Twas April in excellent voice and responded to an encore with I Love You Truly, by Jacob Bond Luncheon was served at the close of the meeting to the club members and their guests.
