times lately he won't mind IT once
morel came back to Norwich on We'd

day-or at least in this vicinity. Up
at Hartford he was found sitting on
top Of the railroad station-that was
the day. two weeks ago today. when all
the automobilists got wet in the show
er that came down half an inch in
half an hour. Yesterday an imaginative
newspaper man thought he could find
old Pluve in Norwich. The likeliest
place he thought was in the cellar Of
the Thayer building, and thither he
went. The water was seeping through
the walls slightly. but the man who
throws the thunder bolt wasn't in
sight 1t was learned later that he
stuck to the open country most. There
the deluge laid the corn fat in places
and made the farmers sad. Trees were
blown down in places and many were
the dead limbs that the wind brought
low. Some OF the falling debris got
entangied with telephone wires and
there were more or less storm disturb

oner Franklin H Browns apple tree
was blown over in his yard. The troll
ley lines were delayed by sand and
mud on the tracks particularly on the
Yantic line near Gilmans' and on the
main line at Baltic. The crews had to
get out and shovel.

Before Secretary of State.

In a hearing at Hartford Tuesday,
W. Harry Jennings, of this city, was
before the secretary OF state on ac-
count of the accident at Colchester on
July 20, in which his car overturned

to were responsible for the fatality.

beer after haying and said he was at
tempting to turn corner when the
accident happened. The license was
restored with a warning henceforth TO
leave even beer alone.
w. H. Keane of Windsor was ac-
cused by a complainant Of driving a
motor vehicle while under the infiu-
ence Of liquor. Several accidents were
cited in which he was represented to
be under the influence Of liquor. His
testimony principally referred to what
others had told him. He admitted hav-
bill for services rendered some eight
or nine months ago. Mrs. May Eth
eridge testified to Keane having been
under the influence of liquor, as did
NJ z. Terry OF Lebanon, who claimed
that Keane ran into his car in WILL
mantle and tipped 1t over. Counsel
offered to submit dispositions from wit
nesses 1 nfavor Of Keane. In regard TO
running into Terry he said that Keane
had tried to avoid the collision. He
denied being under the influence OF
liquor on the occasion cited by Mrs.
Etheridge. Secretary Burnes request
ed counsel to obtain afidavits as 10

was postponed until Mr.. Wheeler could

Preparatory to the enforcement of
the law passed by the last legislature

that sell liquor to their members, the
county commissioners in the various
counties have begun to receive appli-
cations for such new licenses and will
continue TO do so until November /.
There are quite a number OF require
ments to be complied with under the
new law. For example. TO obtain a IL

lied for other purposes than the sale
OF liquor to members and no club will

line to keep up their rowing in COL
ege with good prospects of landing
some day in the varsity boats.
The Yale sweep. and particularly his
own event. on the Thames this June
must have been particularly gratifying
to Morse. For one thing the year his
brother, Richard Morse, captained the
crew, half a dozen years ago, was q
start of those years OF rowing gloom
for Eli. Again, Morse had won his
place in the boat by sheer grit and
persistence, like Bennitt at No. 2, In
the same boat, he had been handicap
ped by his weight, for both men in
the greater part Of their course were
over a dozen pounds or more below av-
erage. Bennitt increased, but Morse

sports, is the most grinding and the
least spectacular, except for 20 odd
minutes at the last. The row.

drive and life that his stroke was CIV
