Mrs. Clement was i'll less than a week. It was not believed that her illness was such as to- cause apprehension until suddenly at the last conditions came that were entirely baffing to medical skill Mrs. Clement was the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Marshall Badger of Manchester. N. H., and was born in that city Feb. H. 1893. She and MT. Clement were the children of neighbors and were youthful play mates. They were married five years ago and have lived here nearly three years, in which short time both have made friends of everyone whom they have met. Mrs. Clement was Iowa. bic. gracious woman. an acquisition to any community, friend whom to lose is the cause for a sorrow not soon to be healed. She was an only child and is survived by her parents, her hus- band and a daughter, Vireinia. 3 years Of age. She was a member of Dorcas circle of the Kings Daughters, the La dies society of the Consregational
 charcl. and the Y. P. s. c. E. The UCOlN WAS lthen 9dluFudS nIOfIlIl2 tO her home in Manchester, N. H. where the funeral will be held. MT. Clement, who is i'll. was not able to go. Mrs. Badger wa& here caring for her daugh- ter an! yee.lt to Manchester with her body. The teachers of the Riverside er;,nHnar school havee telegraphed flowers to Manchester. Yip Ten, the laundryman, was found dead :n his laundry in the court off Soule stl eet Sunday morning. Charlie, as he was known to his customers, was 6 fine, good natured young man, about 25. e account of his cheerful disposition ae nad made many friends here who learned with sorrow of his sudden death. He was last seen alive Thursday croning. Friday and Satur- day the many patrons who called for 1 theic laundry were much surprised to l fird the ooor locked. It was generally
 he!ieved ttst he had gone away. Sun 1 day morn;rg his brother from Norwich | came here on the boat train to pay 1 him visit Hee not gaining admis- sion, sought MT. Zegeer, who owns the 1 property. They decided that some- l thing was wrong and forced the door. i The young man was found dead in his 1 bed. Medical Examiner c. H.

 Between 8 o'clock Saturday evening 1 and sunrise Sunday six inches of snow
 was added quietly to the already nearly three feet which abounds in i this section. Fresh snow was needed 1 because the mountainous drifts piled all about were getting a bit soiled. | Sunday morning everything shone glistening white and clean again. It 1 is matter hardly to- be estimated with any degree of accuracy, the mil- 1 lions of tons of snow and ice that cover the big Quinebaug watershed in l this section to the depth of over two | feet. Practically the same conditions ! exist here today as did in the memora- 1 bic February of 1886. when Jewett City 1 was devastated by the great flood of 1 Saturday, Feb. 18th. Heavy ice cov- {! cred the lakes and streams with more 1 than two feet of snow. Three days of
 warm rain did the business, and such 1 d volume of water was never turned 1 into the Quinebaug valley in so short a time before nor since that date. | There are several favorable conditions l now which would tend to make an- l other such flood unlikely. The Slater i aid Ashland dams, which were carried away at that time, are new now and 1 would stand under twice the strain. | Again, Aspinook dam has been con- 1 structed and reinforced since then. | s1I.
 | miles, is covered with 30-inch ice. but | it cannot now move out all at once | under the pressure of high water as it used 10 do in the river. The great i waste gates at the dam can control ar.y amount of water that comes. Yet 1 in the event of high water. which is sure to come, just as much must go | through the narrow way at Lisbon bridge as there ever did. but the
 pounding tons of ice will be eliminat- i ed.

There was no trolley service north be- tween and, after 10. Many Jewett 1 City people were marooned at Taft vile station for more than two hours.
 Local auto liveries made trips to Taft vile in a binding snow storm and i brought people to Jewett City. The
 hold-up was caused by trouble be-
 tween this place and Plainfield.
