 bile and loss of use of the machine.

 at the corner of State and Washington crashed against the automobile. The papers in the suit are return
 able before the superior court the first Tuesday in September.
 Alleging false arrest and imprisOn- ment, Barofau Bruno of New York has brought suit against Giuseppe La frieri of New York, formerly of the Navy Yard, for $10,000 The arrest of Bruno on the complaint of Lafrieri, on the charge of embezzlement, is the 1 DaSlS or the suit winch IS brought III !

Bruno was arrested in i New York and extradited to this state 1 where he was bound over to the crim- 1 inal superior court for trial. In the 1 superior court State Attorney Hull 1 caused the case to be noiIed.

 CT Weather is Promised.

There was one individual who es- capped the censure on Tuesday that has been handed to him on sundry OthCr occasions this summer and oth- CT summers, in fact as long asgo as newspapers began, and editors of a hot and sultry night Iamented the lack of news. We are referring now to our friend Humidity, often honor ed with the rank of General by those who fight under him. He was away from Norwich yesterday, most of the time, but while he was gone the mercury was busy; it touched 95 in the center of the city early in the aft ernOOn and 94's and S2's were common. But the weather was much more en- durable than on previous occasions in the years past when there was less heat and more moisture in the air
 The thermometer began to fall in the evening, and when the weather report came in over the wire this morning O ia cooler wave due here today, that helped. In two days time we shall need OvercOats and sweaters by night. so fc1le is New EngIand's s weather.

 The deceased was only years, ' months and 5 days old, but she was the entire household. She was also greatly beloved in the Sunday school of the Central Baptist church, of which she was a faithful member and a constant attendant.
 The illness which proved so swiftly fatal was only five days in duration and its seriousness was not recognized by the parents until shortly before the end. But everything that loving hands and medical skill could do had been tried without avail. She died of acute ydrocephalus-water on the brain, The physician said that the child gave evidence of a predispositiOn to this disease which probably would have re- suited fatally at some later time even if she had recovered from this attack. The fears expressed by a few people that this was q case of infantiIe paral- ysis are absolutely grOundless. The sOrrowing parents are receiving the sympathy of a large number of neigh bors and friends.
