Have Machine Guns.

That the rebels are armed with ma
chine guns. which they have mounted on
the roofs Of buildings. has been admitted
by the Marquis Of Lanedowne
The official view is that the rising of
the Irish malcontents was planned for
Easter Sunday in the hope of military
authorities being caught off their guard.
Three other strokes are believed to have
been timed by the Germans to synchro-
nlze- with the rebel movement by the
landing Of Sir Roger Easement with a
shipload of arms, and the cruiser and
Zeppelin raids on the English coasts
Sir Roger Easement is quoted as
having said since his capture that the
uprising depended largely on his
leadership and would probably be a
failure in his absence. But the de-
veIopments so far seem to show that
the rebellion was competent of taking
care OF itself.
May Postpone Trial
Events in Ireland are concentrating
attention on the renegade knight.
Owing to the present state of feeling

Of rebellion. That much is certain from
official admissions in bouth houses Of

Here and there the blaze may be par

but in Dublin and in the west it con-
stftutes what Premier Asquith char
acterized in the house Of commons to-
day as "confIagration."
Martial law has been proclaimed all
over the country and Maj. Gen. Sir John
Maxwell lately in command of the Brit
tsh forces in Egypt, left for Ireland this
afternoon to suppress the rebellion with
all the circumstance of civil war.
Dublin itself seems. from the govern
ment admissions. to be in a state OF
war resembling that in the City of Mex
icn during the last days Of MaderO.
Rebels Hold Buildings.
The rebels hold buildings in sackvire
and other streets it is said. What this
means may be judged from the fact
that sackvnIe street is to Dublin what
Broadway is to New York When they
captured the pOstoffice on Monday the
rebels also seized the city han, the four
courts Of justice and the two principal
railway stations, which command COM
municatiOn with England.
The telegraph wires were cut at the
same time, and there continues an al
most complete stoppage of communica-
tion between Ireland and England. That
IreIand's internal trafic Is paralyzed to
some extent is shown by the fact that in
Drogheda. twenty-six miles north of
Dublin, no Dublin papers have been re-
ceived since Monday.
In Dublin Bay British warships have
their guns trained on the city; but the
authorities are hopeful that the mill
tary may be able to restore order with
out the horrors of a naval bombardment.
What horrors in the way of street and
house-to- house fighting may be going on
from hour to hour can only be conjec-
tured.

Monday night trouble threatened

Special Agent Merrill Of the Central
Vermont road was also in conference
with the mayor at the mayors office
in the city hall. The mayor told the
special agent that the men must be
taken back to New York.
Two Central Vermont coaches were
attached to the S.11 express for New
York and the strike breakers were put
aboard them. The announcement that
they would be taken care of appeased
the strike breakers somewhat but they
remained in more or less belligerent
mood until the departure of the train
and then they broke windows and
created a general disturbance. Some
of them carried revolvers, blackjaclzs
and clubs. One of them claimed to
have been shot at in Water street, but
the police said no shots were fired
The spokesman for the strike break
ers claim they came here ignorant of
the fact that a strike was on and they
were improperly fed and housed.

MRS. y. ?. FARNsWoRTH.
Former Norwich Woman Passed Away
in Colorado Springs After Quarter
Century In West.

Writing to the Colorado Springs Ga
zette concerning the death Of Mrs. H.
P. Farnsworth last month. Mrs. 8. L.
Caldwell of that city paid the follow
ing tribute to a former Norwich wom-
an:
The recent passing away of Mrs.
H. P. Farnsworth has left such a sense
of grief and loss to her host of per-
sonal friends that a few words lin
memoriam" win, 1 feel sure. express
their feelings as well as my own.
During u residence of about a quar-
ter century in this community she
had made a very unique and distinct
ticeable individuality. Her coming to
Colorado Springs was something of an
accident. After her son, the late
Charles Farnsworth, had finished his
education at Brown university and
the Harvard Law school, 1t was nee
essary to spend a winter In Madeira
and Algiers for the benefit OF his
health. But these places proving I'M
satisfactory, start was made for
California. and stop made in Colo
and sightseeing. California was never
reached as a place Of residence, and
this town became their permanent
home.
Wherever Mrs. Farnsworth went she
carried an atmosphere OF delicacy, re-
finement and good breeding. AS you
looked at her you inevitably thought
Of Lavender and old lace" while the
good old word "gentlewoman'' came
into your mind. But delicacy in her
case had no element of weakness, for
her opinions on all subjects were pro-
nounced and spoken with courage and
held to with firm conviction. And
her convictions were based on a wide
intelligence, for she was an omnivor-
Gus reader of the best books. Her
early life had been spent in Norwich
Conn, a beautiful old town where the
best traditions of New England edu-
cation and culture were a part Of her
daily life, and she always carried its
atmosphere with her. To her it was
always home" and a residence of
! 5 years in the west had never les
sened her loyalty to her native town.
Mrs. Farnsworth belonged to a type,
which will almost certainly disappear
in our age of rush and hurry, where
speed is at a premium, amusement a
fetch and philanthropy a profession.
Amid the turmoil of modern life she
went her way calmly and effectively,
the personification of gentle dignity.
She was a devoted adherent OF her
church, helpful in word and deed to
the sick and unfortunate, and equally
beloved by both young and old
Somebody has gone out of our lives
whom we shall always miss.

Want New Dyke at Ocean Beach.

Steps were taken at a joint meet
ing of the Park commissioners and
the committee of Ocean Beach prop
erty owners Monday afternoon in the
city hall at New London to ascertain
to what extent the property owners at
the beach would cooperate in financing
the erection of a new dyke with board
walk upon it, commencing at end of
the present front walk and continuing
along Alewife Cove to the watchman's
tower.
Rough estimates obtained by the
park commissioners as to cost of con-
struction Of a four-foot wide board
walk upon substantial dixie faced by
bulkhead of chestnut posts and
planks are that about $4,000 would
be required for the work.
The Beach property owners com
mittee was told by the park commits
sioners at this meeting that the COM
missioners considered the sum of ST.
900 should be raised by the property
owners and those interested in welfare
Of the beach of the city were asked to
expend the remaining amount.

BkRTLETTS REEF MENACE
TO NAVIGATION.
Present Lishtship is Poor Protection
to Shipping.

Two steamers on Bartlett's Reef
within two weeks have stirred New
London men interested in marine mat
tiers to action as regards the inefhcien-
cy of the present lightship at that
place.
Although, Bartlett's Reef is one of
the most dangerous points along the
Connecticut coast, it is guarded by an
old fashioned, poorly equipped light
ship. that is not sufficient protection
for mariners as is evidenced by the
mishaps of the two steamers, the Mo-
hawk and S. O., No. 81, which went
on the rocks at that point within two
weeks of each other.
At one time the department of light
houses sent Inspector Yates to this
city to Investigate the cause of COM
plants that were being r e.
ceiVed in Washington.
