National c. A. R. Encampment nit


 Indications are that about 80 Grand Army veterans from Bridgeport will be among the 100, ,000 members of the order who will gather from all over the country in Kansas City for the fiftieth national encampment, which will be- gin August 28 and last until Septem- Der 3, says the Standard. Bridgeport will be well represented in the big parade and has engaged special band to furnish the proper musical setting. Among the notables of the G. A. R. in Bridgeport, who will take in the tour are H. J. Seeley, commander of the order in this state, and Mrs. Seeley, William M. Barnum, assistant adjutant general, Past Commander-in.C Chief A. B. Beers, and Mrs. Beers, Lyman s. Catlin, and others.
 The following route will be fol- lowed: Special Pullmans and coaches leave New York at 5:50 o'clock, August 26, passing Niagara Falls in daylight and arriving at Chicago at $40 p. m., Sunday. The party will leave Chicago at 10:30 that night and arrive in Kansas City on Monday morning.
 An extension of this tour, for those who wish to take in the trip farther West has been arranged, Yellowstone Park, Colorado Springs, and the Pacific coast being some of the points of inter- est on the tour.
 There is little likelihood of any inn portant national office coming to a member of the Connecticut delegation and no candidates from this state are being presented for election to the more important positions.

HIT BY MIR. V0GEL'S CAR
Former Canaan Educator Runs Into
 Heedess Pedestrian.

Says the Torrington Register, of Sat- u7day:
 "Nichola Popiela, of East Albert Street, was struck last night by an automobile owned and driven by George J. Vogel, superintendent of schools. Popieia was badly bruised about the body and it was feared that he suffered internal injuries. His con- ditioE today was favorable, however, and no serious developments are ex- pected. No bones were broken.
 ''The accident occurred on South Main Street at East Albert Street. MT. Vogel, who was accompanied by his wife, was driving north on South Main Street at moderate rate when Popiela, it is said, stepped from the sidewalk directly in the path of the car. He was struck in the side and thrown to the ground and dragged for short dis tance.
 ''Mr. Vogel immediately stopped the car and after learning where Popiela lived assisted him to his home and summoned 8 physician, Dr. W. O. Kennedy.
 "A witness of the accident said to- day that MT. Vogel was driving close to the right hand curb and was not ex- ceeding 20 miles an hour. Popiela in- tended to cross the street and ap- parently neglected to see if any vehicles were coming before he stepped from the sidewalk.
Connecticut western news., 1916-08-03

MT. Vogel, who formerly lived in Canaan. where he had his headquarters as state school supervisor, was rec ognized as one of the most careful drivers on the road, and it is incon- ceivable to any who knew him and had ever ridden with him, that the ac
 cident recorded above could have been the result of anything but neglect and heedlessness on the part of the victim.

sion from the school to the church.
After renewing their Baptismal vows
and making the usual profession of
Faith, they devout!y approached the
Altar steps to receive Hoy Commun-
ion.
Reverend Father Sailer most hap
PLY addressed the little children and
their friends on this great feast day.
The choir rendered excellent music.
Bowers of green and an abundance of
spring flowers with lovely roses lent
their natural grace and beauty to
adorn our affairs. Our parishioners
and friends were delighted to have
witnessed this rare day of joy and
honor prepared for the little children
Of our parish.

His Answer to Charges Made by the

When H. P. Quanbeck Of Nelson

the Nonpartisan league, bu. preferred
to follow his own, judgment as a citi-

A. c. Town!ey and his henchmen and
another candidate brought out by them
for state representative. As was to
be expected, the Nonpartisan Leader
came out later with an article full of
vituperation and accusations against
Quanbeck, charging that he had violat-

answer to these charges is to the point
and contains food for thought. He
