Weather Interfered

Weather conditions have interfered
with an "ofiicerelect" supper schedul-
ed on two different occasions to be
held at the Bluff Springs school
house. Mrs. Todd. the teacher Of
the school, had announced during the
campaign that supper compliment
tary to the candidates who were sue
cessful would be given soon following
the election. On the first night set
the weather was very bad and the
supper was postponed to Friday even
ing of last week. Again, on that day,
it showed and the evening was cold
and disagreeable and the officers-elect
were unable to be there.

SILLIMAN'S LANE PASSES TO MAKE |WAY FOR BUSINESS
Historic Thoroughfare In Path of Factory Development
 of Hunter & Ravens.

With the destruction of the Hoff- man Show Case company buildings. and all the tenements on the left side of Silliman's lane for the purpose of erecting large steel warehouse and yards tor Hunter & Ravens, there passes from view the distinctive marks of past commercial and resi- dential epoch in Bridgeport
 The new owners have purchased all that property from South avenue, in cluding what was once the Water proof Cloth factory, later the Stan dard Power Company, and more re- gently the Locke Steel Belt Com pany's plant, to Silliman's lane, in cluding the buildings formerly oc- cupied by the Hoffman Show Case Company, and several small resi- dences that pass beyond the scope of modern history.
 The property was originally owned by the Silllman family who half a the spot. It is the plan of Hunter 6. Ravens to build the large depot for steel, as soon as plans for a spur track from the railroad across Water street are fully approved by the Public Utilities commission. With their ob- taining half ownership in the right of-way known as Silliman's lane, that historic passageway will probably pass from existence, as tn emarch of pro- gress is gradually driving the resi- dents away that big industry may re- place it.

MOVEMENT IN NEW YORK IS
 WITH PRESIDENT
No Wage Erner or Laborer Should Fail to Support
 Wilson.

Troy, N. Y.. Oct. 31-The only con- spicuous representative of labor on whom MT. Hughes has been able to rely in his effort to alienate wage earners from President Wilson, today gave out statement declaring for President Wilson's reelection. He is John M. O'Hanlon, editor of the Leg islative Labor News of New York State, whose editorial endorsing MT. Hughes's record as governor, has been widely circulated by the Republican managers, and. repeatedly read from the platform, by MT. Hughes himself
 MT. O'Hanlon said:
 ''I have been supporting President Wilson for reelection, both in the columns of my paper and wherever have had the opportunity to express my convictions orally, ever since he has accepted a re-nomination. MT Wilson has earned the unstinted sup port of every wage-earner of the country by the splendid program of humanitarian legislation he has the national capitol.
 "The quoted article in the issue of The Legislative Labor News of Oc- LQUcT, IJIU, BlNluS CTcull lO COVoT- nor Hughes for his approval of labor laws while Governor of this state is based on fact. A similar appreciation could have been issued of the work of Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. Since that period both have occupied national spheres of action. MT. Wilson as President has fulfilled every expectation aroused by his ca reer as governor. MT. Hughes has not. As a candidate for President MT. Hughes has declared his opposition to the Wilson program of legislation and seized upon the eight-hour law for railroad men to emphasize that opposition. In discussing it he has attacked the sincerity and intelligence of organized labor and charged it with greed by declaring that it inti- initiated Congress into enacting a. wage law designed to create wages for more than eight hours or work a day. The chief object of the railroad men and all other workers is to pre- vent more than eight hours work a day by exacting higher prices for ex- tra hours.
 '"The entire labor movement of the State of New York almost without ex- ception Is in favor of the reelection of President Wilson. The record of his achievement in Congress is such that no wage earner whether a mem- Der of organized labor or not should fail to support him for reelection"

Many of the expe- rienced men of the company have left to answer the call of the munitions factories.
 The troubles experienced by the rail- roads regarding the freight situation has also affected the company and has resulted in delayed deliveries, MT. Ayres said. He pointed out that since the railroads have shown they were

MISSIONARY NOW COMES
 FORWARD WITH STARTLING STORY ABOUT GREAT TANLAC
Robinson Says National Tonic Relieved Him of General Run Down Condition and Malaria
 of Years Standing.

J. w. Robinson, missionary, of 24 Bank street, gives highest praise to Tanlac, the National Tonic, which has been of great benefit in relieving him of a general run down condition. Recently MT. Robinson stopped in at the Atlantic Pharmacy to see the Tan lac man and to tell him how the medi- cine had acted.
 For more than a year I have been generally run down and listless," said MT. Robinson. "I was full of malaria had no appetite and always felt tired and drowsy. I was very nervous I got some Tanlac some time ago and, since using the medicine, feel wonder fully improved in every way. I have a fine appetite now, am full of strength and energy and have ost that drowsy feeling. All in all Tanlac has been of enormous benefit to me-"
 "So many people are surprised at the quick action of Tanlac," com mented the Tanlac Man. "They have

Warrington, from Carthegena having on board Christopher Hughes IT,, of this city, who went out as com missioner from our government to de- mand the release of the American prisoners at that place. MT. Hughes has succeeded in the object of his mis- sion, and has brought home in the frigate all the Americans that remain ed in prison at the time of his arrival in Carthegena and Santa Martha. They were immediately delivered from pri- son on his demand
 Among them are w. s. Cooper, and Lewis Conte of this place, and MT. Smitht, of the schooner Adelaide. This gentleman was severely injured in an attempt to force the guard some months since at Santa Martha, and supposed by those who escaped to have been killed. MT. Norris Stanley, of Hartford, Conn, is also among the released. MT. Hughes landed at An napolis yesterday morning and arrived ct his own house in this city in the evening in perfect health.

tried other medicines and have found them to be only laxatives which gave temporary relief and left them feel ing worse than they did before using the medicine. When they take Tan lac they expect the same thing. But there they are mistaken for Tanlac Is not a laxative but a splendid vege- table tonic which goes quickly to the seat of the trouble, eliminates the poisonous matter from the system and then starts the work of recon struction. Tanlac is the logical way of building health because it turns food into blood, bone and muscle"
 M. M. Ochincoff, the Tanlac Man, makes his headquarters at the At lantic Pharmacy, 990 Main street, daily. There he meets those interest ed in Tanlac and tells them all about the medicine which is now made at the rate of five million bottles a year to meet the great demand for it.
 Tanlac is also on sale in Milford at Howes' Drug Store-Advertiseme

SMALL PAY FOR THEIR PAINS

 Hanging from a string attached to one of the handles of the safe in the office of the compressed paper box company in Thompson street, is a large card with the following inscrip- tion: Notice to burglars, there is nothing of any value to any human be- ing except the subscribers in this safe. Please do not burst the lock- But the notice did not have any effect two years ago nor did it sometime last night or early this morning.
 Two years ago burglars entered the factory and ransacked it from cellar to .garret in search of something of value. They pried open doors in the desks and secured about $5 in small change and postage stamps. They also devoted sometime to the safe. A hole was drilled in it just above the combination dial. A charge of powder was inserted but that did not have power enough to force the lock. Some time last night or early this morning burglars again tried their skill on the safe, Entrance was ef- fected to the building through a eel lar window in the rear of the fautory. the wire screen was pulled off, and the window, which is a swinging one, was forced open.
 The burglars entered the engine room, where they appropriated large chisel. From the desk of the man. ager in the office they obtained about s7 in change and a dollar in postage stamps. The police are working on the case and hope to arrest the burg lars soon.

COAL $l2 TON
 IN NEW YORK;
 TO GO HIGHER

New York, Oct 31-The high cost of keeping warm took another jump here today. Householders in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bropx learned that coal in the domestic sizes, egg and nut, now brings SIP ton.
 Dealers attributed the increase to the tremendous consumption of coal in factories throughout tn country which are running day and night to fill war and other orders to the nat ural increase of coal orders at this time of year; to the inability of rail- roads, because of a shortage of equip ment, to haul all the coal that is or dered .and to the large increases in shipments of coal to foreign coun- tries, chiefly Canada. There is no shortage, it is said, in the coal sup ply.
 Anthracite coal operators declare that shortage of labor is largely re- sponsible for high prices Thous- ands of mine workers have returned to their homes in Europe to fight and others have gone to earn better wages in the war munitions factor ies.
