EXTRA WORK FOR
 WATER DEPARTMENT
Auto Breaks of Hydrant - Water
 Street Main Springs AIeak.

The skidding automobile of Frank A. Comstock of New London, registry number 1894, broke off the hydrant in front of the Hathaway market on Sat urday afternoon about 3.30 o'clock. West Main street was wet and slippery at the time. A big volume of water was released and went spouting up like a fountain until the water department had shut the water off.
 Policeman Frank s. Henderson held up the machine until he had reported the matter to police headquarters. and the water department was notified.
 They got new hydrant in at 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
 little before noon on Sunday the water department had another call for overtime work when a big leak was reported in the Water street 6-inch main in front of the Auditorium the ater. Policeman Henderson also sent In this report. The water was shut off at the Market street corner, while the depaStment's employees dug up the street to look for the leak. It was puzzling one to locate as the water oozed up in several different spots and there was much digging to be done. The leak was finally repaired about 7.SO so that the water could be turned on again.

BOSTON FRIEND WROTE
 WEDDING ANNIVERSARY POEM
For Golden Wedding of Mir. and Mrs.
 Stephen Parker of East Great Plain.

Mr. and Mrs. Stephen c. Parker, who until two years ago had spent their entire married life on a farm they owned in Montville, were most agree ably reminded on Saturday at their home at East Great Plain, of their wedding day just fifty years ago by the call of a party of about 30 friends, whose plan to come to celebrate the anniversary had been so quietly kept that their visit was a complete sur prise. Several who came from Will limantic arrived about 4 or o'clock and the others came later in the aft ernoon and in the evening so that a very enjoyable time resulted.
 There were gifts of yellow and white chrysanthemums, one gift of a S5 gold piece and scores of good wishes, but the feature of the gathering w2s the anniversary poem written by Mrs. Isabelle Champlin of Boston, who was present also and read the appropriate verses
 Besides their two sons, James A. Parker of Phillips avenue, who ar ranged the surprise, and Julian B. Parker of 10 Brown street, those at tending included the two grandsons, Carl Stephen, the son of James, and Ralph Congdon, the son of Julian, as well as local friends, and about II from Willimantic and from Montville. Among the last named was Mrs. Charles Scholfleld, who was 92 last September, and was the oldest person present.

TIED WITH WIRE AND
 LEFT IN THE WOODS
Hymsn Bass Incurred the Ennnity of
 His Business Rivals.

Fourteen-yearold Hyman Bass, who runs a Sunday newspaper route in Thamesville, and lives at 293 West Thames street, came to the Temple Spring of George A. Bullard in the Trading Cove district. about o'clock Sunday afternoon, where he told that he had been tied to tree in the woods in Leiiingwell by Frederick Symington and Robert Stevenson. who run a store at Thamesville and also sell Sunday newspapers. so that they are business rivals of Bass.
 He declared that he had been taken In an automobile by the two young men and had been left out in the woods, bound. He was carrying the piece of wire with which he said he had been tied up. Later investigation of the case, 1t is understood, developed the information that he had not been bound to a tree, but that his hands had been tied together with the wire when he was left out in the country By the use of stone he was able to get the wire off his hands after long struggle.
 It is possible that there may be legal action to follow what he says was done to him. which was brought about in his opinion because he had succeeded in getting the trade of some of the customers of his business rivals.

1.-THE. TASK THAT LINCOLN LEFT
Theme for Strong Prohibition Sermon Two Norwich Pull pits by Rev. Walter E. LanphearHe Gives Figures of Income and Cost for Norwich Predicts National Prohi- bition by 1920.

At the Congregational church in Norwich Town on Sunday morning and at the Congregational church in Greeneville on Sunday afternoon Rev. Walter E.. Lanphear, field secretary of the Connecticut Temperance union, eepoke upon the subject The Task That Lincoln Left, making his address 8 strong advocacy of the cause of na- tional prohibition.
 The wording of the subject was sug- geseed by the words of Lincoln on the afternoon before his assassination, to major Merwin. "Merwin," he said, "by the help of the people we have cleaned up a colossal job. Slavery is abolished. After reconstruction, the next great question is the overthrow and destruc- tion of the liquor traffic. And you know, Merwin, that my head and my sheart and my hand and my purse will go into that work. In 1S4S, more than 20 years ago, under the influence of Gods spirit, I predicted that the time would come when there would be neither slave or drunkard in the land. I haye lived to see one predic- ton fulfilled. l hope to see the other realized"
 The Hobson resolution for national prohibition, which came up for vote in the house of representatives last De- cember and in spite Of the strongly organized opposition, and in spite of the pairing off. two to one, gained a majority of eight votes, will be rein congress on the 9th of next month, said Rev. MT. Lanphear, and it will be kept before every session of congress
 until it gets %he necessary two thirds vote in both branches of congress. Af- ter that, the question of the amend ment will be given over to the states for ratification, and the necessary
 hree-fourths of the states seem sure to be gotten in time for saloonless nation by 1920.
 When this amendment comes to the states and to Connecticut there will be
 a fight royal for the sending to Hart ford of representatives and senators favorable to the ratification of the amendment.
 Advantages Claimed. The advantages of this amendment method of abolishing the liquor traffic are, first, in the fact that the move | ment is non-partisan and is drawing | to its support large numbers of all parties; and, second and supreme, ad- vantage of this method is in it's thor oughness. Great progress has already been made by states and localities. territory is already dry by vote of the people, and considerably more than | half the population live in dry terri l tory. One year ago there were nine dry states. Now there are 19, with three other states to vote on the sub 1 ject of statewide prohibition during the year.
