the jitney drivers were charging round prices for their services. There were no five or ten-eenf trips to surround ing villages, but the prices were no more than are ordinarily charged for automobile service. One travelling man who hired 9 car to drive him down to Dayville, ordered the machine stopped and himself let out when he found that he was going to be charged the usual rate Of S150 for going to DayYiile. He said he expected to pay 10 cents, which was regarded by the driver as real conservative expec- tatien.

On Thursday the strike appealed to the public as something of an interesting novelty for this section, where strikes of any kind are few and far between.

Frank x. King.

Frank K King, 8, died Thursday morning at his home on 79 Pomfret- street, as the result of Bright's dis ease with which he has been trou- bled for several years. Of late years Mir. King has been in the employ of Dr. Frederick A. Morrell.
 He was born Sept ', 1857, in Fair fax, Vt, the son of MT and Mrs Charles King. Aug. 16. 1886, he mar ried Jennie Racine in Dayyille. They have lived in Putnam for about 25 years.
 Besides his wife, four grown chii- dren survive: Mrs. Mabel Lincoln, Charles w King, Edward G. King and Bertha J. King, all of Putnam A brother, George King, Fairfax, Vt, and Mass, also survive.
 Mrs. Annie G. Harrington.
 Mrs. Annie Gordon Harrington, 56, died at a hospital in Stamford on Thursday. The body is to be brought to this city. The deceased was the wife of Henry Harrington, employed at the Putnam Wooien company's plans.
 Mrs. Harrington was the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Martin Gordon and was born in Dudley, Mass, although the greater part of her life had been spent in this city. She was married in this city IT years ago to MT. Earring ton by Rev. John Van den Noort, for many years pastor of St Marys church, now of Dengen. Holland. She leaves besides her husband a sister, Miss Bridget Gordon, of this city. Rev. w. s. Beard 5accaIaureate

 Gifts for Night School Teachers.
 Miss Emma J. Dutton and L. F. Battey. night school teachers, were presented a five dollar gold piece each, at the closing of the sessions for the present school year. Miss Dutton was also presented two dozen carnations and each of the teachers received from the students written expressions of appreciation of her careful and eff hcient work. The school was in ses- sion IS nights. The membership at 1 the outset mounted to high total Of 150. but gradually dwindled until only about 25 were attending at the close of the school year. Many of those who recently gave up their school work had to do so in order that they might have the early evening for work in their gardens. It is now believed that had the night school season been started earlier in the fall. allowing of closing the school very early in the I spring that the average attendance for the Whole period would have been higher than is the case. It is proba- ble that the night school will again be organized naxk zall.

NOT A TROLLEY GAR
 RAN ON LINE THURSDAY.
Effect of Strike to Tie Up Traffic Be- tween Central Village and West Thonpson-o Only Two Ncn- Union Men.

There was absolutely nothing doing as regards trolley service between Gen. tral Village and West Thompson dur ing Thursday, the conductors and mo- tormen on the local line having made good their threat to tie ID the line, the company falling to meet the un- ion's demands. Not car was moved ever 5Ge line. nor was any attempt made to do so.
 During the day the company and it's dissenting employees seemed to be play ing a waiting game. Everybody was standing pat. Three men reported for duty at the Dayville carhouse. it was stated there, but they were dismissed until such time as a plan of action is put in effect. Of the five men who work at the Dayville carhouse and are known as car station employees, three went out on strike. The foreman was one of the two that remained.
 The striking motorrnen and conduc- tors engaged in conferences at DayYille during the morning and afternoon and also received a visitation from the na- tional union officials who tlaye been at Norwich.
 There are only two men on the local division employed as members of car crews who are not union members. One of these reported for duty Thursday morning, but as the company had de- cided not to send out any cars he could not go out over his usual run.
 Just what trolley service now means to the towns along the QHinebaug valley was not long in being demon strated Thursday. With everything running smoothly, as it I,as since the road was built, nearly a score of years ago, the service was taken as much a matter of course as the oxygen of the air.
 Thursdays inconvenience.
 The abrupt suspension Of the service Thursday put different light upon the proposition. No cars came to accom- modate the many who have come to depend upon them as means of transportation to and from the places where their occupations or business called, and there was quick sensing of the fact tBlat trolley service has be- come quite indispensable between a
