By Order of Architect of New Trade
 School Building.

Work at the Putnam State Trade School building has been making pro- gross the past week. The walls that were laid have been torn down on in structions from the architect because they were not being built according to specifications. The work of re- building has commenced Chester E. Child, chairman of the building com nittee. said Saturday: "The work is now being done more satisfactorily as the contractors are following speci- fcations. They are not working as rapidly as we would like but we would much prefer for them to go slowly and do the work as it should be done"
 The building should have been ready for machinery by April first but from the present outlook it will not be ready for a couple of months yet.

TRIAL IN SEPTEMBER.
Condition of John EIliott UnfavorabIe
 To Earlier Appearance in Court.

The trial of John Elliott for the murder of Burt Pettis and daughter. Syhil. will not take place before Sep tember. State Attorney Charles l.. Searls made the announcement when asked about the matter Saturday aft ernoon.
 Mir Searls pointed out that Elliott's condition is grave, so much so that it was necessary to perform a surgical operation for the relief of the injury to his head Saturday afternoon: that there is. of course, no means of know ing whether the prisoner will die be- fore he can be indicted and brought to trial or whether in due course of time his condition will be normal.
 Mir. Searls said that he could at this time file separate informa- tion and bring together a grand jury to consider the evidence with a view to obtaining an indictment, but even though this action be taken. Elliott is all probability would not be able to appear in court for trial before the ad- journment of the present term.
 Should Elliott die, the state will be saved heavy expense.
 Tn view of the state attorneys de- cision not to take up the case until September, Elliott is to be kept at the jail, closely guarded.

The garage of Charles A. TiIlinghast and it's contents, including a big tour ing car. was destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon, The alarm came in from box 36 at 1.40. The Tillinghast place is outside the borough limits and while the fire department responded prompt
 ly, there was not sufficient hose to reach the long distance, nearly a quar- ter of a mile, from the nearest hydrant to the site of the fire. The fire entirely consumed the garage and left the car a charred wreck. The fire developed so rapidly that MT. Tillinghast was un- able to get the car out of the garage, although he might have succeeded in doing so had not the brakes on the car been set. The net loss by the fire will amount to several hundred dollars.

have lost in both the foot ball and

the NeWberry teams. We did not see
either game, and to tell the truth, We
have never even seen basket bail
game and only one foot ball game.
We suppose that is an admission we
should not make. We are interested
in the Newberry teams in whatever
arena they may enter and would have
been glad to have recorded their sue
