Another big advance toward the
industrial prosperity of the state was
made the other day when it was an
nounced that the Seattle Construc-
ton & Dry Dock company had been
awarded the contract for the con-
struction of big freight steamer for
the New York & Cuba Mail Steam
ship Co., known as the Ward line.
The steamship is to be of 5000 tons
capacity and while the amount OF her
cost has been made public, 1t Is
known to run to very large figure.
This is the second large steamer for
this Eastern concern that the Seattle
firm has contracted to build. Work
has already been started on the first
one and both are to be completed
within year.

Two BurgIaries in POmfret

Smith Brothers store and the POM
fret railroad station were broken into
some time Friday night. A person
living near the store heard an auiomo-
bile late at night which wss at first
thought might have carried the burg.
lars. Later developments throw con-
siderable doubt on this feature.
At the store the burglars gained en-
trance by breaking glass in the tran
som over door. A number OF cheap
watches and other merchandise was
taken.
AL the railroad station the visit OF
burglars was discovered when the
agent opened the ticket Office Saturday
morning and found the ticket case
broken open and lying on the floor.
Ten 1000 mile mileages were taken. A
broken window showed plainly how
admission was gained. There was no
money in The Office.
Early in the morning a mileage
book was picked up in the Putnam
railroad yard and two men were seen
BY the switch tower man. It would
point 10 the burglars going into Asssa-
eausetls and IL is believed that they
may have been some of "a gang that
are believed to have made periodical
visits to this section in the past.

plant. w. +. RAFFERTY, Of Putnam was
the lowest bidder on the heating con-
tract but that part Of the contract has
not been awsrded as yet Is some minor
changes are TO. be made In the plans.
At the first meeting when bids were
opened they were so high that they
were out of the question II the com
mittee was TO keep inside the appro.
priation, Ii was at first hoped to have
a building l00 feet long but this was
found TO be impossible for the money
In hand so that building 90x50 was
decided upon. The second bids were
so low that ii was found that some ad
ditions could be made To the contract
AS ii then stood and the third time the
bid of the Willimantic Company was
accepted. Under the terms Of the con-
tract the building must be ready to re.
ceive machinery by the first of next
April and be ready for occupancy by
April 18th.
The building will be three stories
high of brick construction and will
contain 200 feet of floor space. The
lower floor will be devoted TO the wood
working and machine shops, the sec
ond floor to textile department, and on
the upper floor drafting rooms and
class rooms. The building Will be
erected on the high school lot west OF
the present high school building, 'front.'
ing on Providence street and the west
end will be near the railroad bridge. LII

which is expected 10 be material saw
ing. Machinery for the new building
has already been purchased and IL Is
expected that there will be large in
fux of pupils when IL is opened. Night
sessions are expected 10 attract many
pupils and the future of the Putnam
Trade school Is considered bright.

The Salvation Army kettle, which
makes its annual appearance at Christ

pod near the bank corner as deposit
tory for nickles and dimes and ocoa-
sicnelly money OF larger denomina
ton. The proceeds will be used in
spreading holiday cheer in homes
where for one reason or another there
is restitution.
The Army workers In Putnam are
familiar with these families and are al
ways keeping I'm eye on those who are
worthy aud see to it that they Mt lenet
have the necessities of life. This an.
NAL appeal TO the public always re-
ceives a generous response as many
small contributions make a substan

greatly appreciated and perhaps re-
lieve actual suffering. Everyone by
dropping a coin In the kettle may take

County Home Children Entertained

During the holiday season all kind
hearted people of this section think of
the homeless children at the Windham
County Temporary Home. While
they are without fond parents to love
and care for them,, To say that they
have no home in, the broad sense Is
not technically accurate. They are
very well cared for and are treated
kindly by the superintendent and ma
tron. Mr.. and, Mrs. &. ID. Park, and
another Park''is loved by all the In.
mates, She sees to IL that they have
many good times and little treats.
But at this time of the year, chill
dren's time many people outside the
Home remember the children and they
are always bonntifully supplied with
presents and good things children SO
enjoy. Perhaps they have even more
than many children in their own
homes as 1t sometimes happens that
they have several Christmas eelebra
tions. They have already been more
fortunate than most children for last
Saturday ,they were all invited, and
accepted of course, an invitation to
the Howe Msrot School where they
were entertained by the teachers and
young ladies who distributed presents
and refreshments that brought forth
joy Gus shouts from many little Threats
and made many little eyes sparkle In
pleasant anticipation as gifts were
handed about.

THREE KILLED
Frightful Accident at Dayyille Railroad
Crossing
Light Engine Strikes Wagon and None
Escape Death

One of the most frightful railroad
accidents that has occurred in this sec.
lion in years happened at the upper
railroad crossing in Dayville village at
| : O'Clock Wednesday evening when
Eli Briere, -, his daughter, Mrs. Rose
Bissonetse, -. and his daughter.in-
law, Mrs. Fred Btiere, p, all of Alta.
waugan, met instant death by having
their skulls crushed In when a locomo-
tive running from New Haven to Wor-
cester, flight, struck the wagon in
which they were riding.
MIR. Briere and his daughter had
driven down from their home just
north of the town farm 10 meet Mrs.
Briere who was coming from Daniel
son on an electric car after days
work in the mill of the Danielson Cot
ton Company. Mrs Briere was bride
of eight weeks and previous TO her
marriage was Miss Sylvina Veins,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Veins
of Dyer street, Danielsen.
People who saw the trio leave the
village say that the horse was lively
one and WINS going along Mt good
clip. Suddenly there was the sound
of an oneoming engine, then a loud
crash and all was darkness. People
realized in moment that the danger

and his daughter were lodged on the

were later taken Ito the undertaking
rooms of Louis Il. Kennedy.
The engineer running the locomotive
was Charles ". Green Of Worcester.
1t WIS a remarkable coincidence that
the last fatal accident ia which he fig
ured was on an engine driven several
years ago at this very same crossing
when A. NJ. Lannon who lived near
Alexander's pace was killed. The
fireman was John p. Gaudette of Wor-
cester and the hagman Frank McGsnn
of New Haven.
