PatrOiman Ryan Sees Brother
 Whom He BelieUed Mas Dead
PUTNAM POLICE OFFICER RECEIVES VISIT FROM PAT RICK j. RYAN MISSING FOR OVER THIRTY
 FIVE YEARS
The Brothers Sudden Appearance Psomans Home Here
 Monday Proves Tremendous But Happy Surprise

brother. Is proprietor of boarding house on Broad street. Providence. and recently he had some guests who came from Brooklyn, N. Y., the homs of Patrick ]. Ryan. the long missing brother The visitors casually inauir- cd fl their host knew a Patrick J. Ryan of Brooklyn. they wondered if by any coincidence their friend and their host were related is any way.
 The Providence Mfr. Ryan immedi- ately said that the man must he his brother who had left the parental home in Pawtueket S5 years ago, to seek his fortune i6 the world, and had never been heard from since nor seen. Because no word had been received from him in years, he was supposed to be dead
 But Mir Ryan took the first oppor- tunity and went to Brooklyn. to find out who this Patrick ]. Ryan was and thus he found his missing brother. Together they paid visit to the sis ter in Lowell and while there conspir- ed to "give John the surprise of his life" by paying him an unexpected visit And in this they succeeded hand somely
 Patrick Ryan went west after he left Pawtucket. He travelled about a good deal and served during the Span ish=American War After the war he settled in Brooklyn, N. Y. The first chance he got after the war, he went to Pawtucket to visit his relatives. But he found that his father and mother were dead and that the family had moved from the city. His greatest ef- forts failed to disclose where his brothers and sister had gone. He tried numerous methods of finding them. but each time failed. So it was left 10 the inquisitiye boarding house guests. perhaps guided by the hand of Fate, To make their inquiry and thus set in motion the first of series of events that have happily resulted as here outlined.
 The brother who had not been seen for 85 years, by his kin, is an assistant superintendent of the Peterborough Rapid Transit Company of New York City, Is married and has one child.

Wednesday was the big day. when about 1000 peo- pie from miles around assembled to enjoy the attractions of the fair and the events on the days program. Treasurer Riddick reports that this years attendance did not come up to that of last year. nor did the receipts from the gate and grandstand ts2,- 463 60) reach the figure of a year ago. this seasons being about $500 less.
 Woodstock Fairs track record for the free for all event was broken on Wednesday when Harry R., owned by Merrick Massey of southbridge, eov- cred the mile in 2:24 X, in what many described as the best race held on ei- ther that day or yesterday. Harry K last year set a new low record for the track by doing the mile n 2'27 \ and on Wednesday lowered even this last time.
 Wednesday could not have been more perfect as far as the weather was concerned, and as far az known nothing occurred to spoii sny1ss'- pleasure.
 The midway was quite extensive and was made up of much the same attractions as in years past. For the farther pleasure of the thousands who attended the fair. there were band concerts and vaudeville, supplied through the Keith Booking Agency.
 The exhibition hall was one of the spots that attracted everyone, and well it should. for there was a lot to see.
 The poultry exhibit was unusually large this year as was also the display of cattle.
 The Community Club. East Wood stock won first prize for its exhibit with other clubs or granges, To addi- tion to the premium of $50 offered by the Fair association a beautiful silk banner was also presented the winner by the Farmers' Association of Wind ham County.

MOVE FROM WARDS.
 ALDERMEN RESIGN
Msgnsn and Pigeon Will Be Elected to Succeed One
 Another

The resignations of Aldermen Hon orius Magnan and Alfred J. Pigeon were presented to the mayor and com mon council at the adjourned month ly meeting last night tn the municipal building. They were accepted. The aldermen have moved from the wards that elected them and for this reason had to resign their offices But this does not nectssarily mean that they will be permanently oil the council. for 1t seems probable today that they will be elected at the next regular council meeting to All the vacancies they themselves created by resigning.
 This very unusual state of affairs is created by the fact that Mir Mag nan has become a resident of Ward 1 and MT. Pigeon has secured a tene- ment and has moved into the third ward. Mir. Nagnan was elected by the third ward and Ar. Pigeon by the fourth. So 1t will be seen that tley have simply moved into one another's city voting district. If the Democrat ic city committee recommends them for election by the council. to fill the two vacancies now existing, as the committee will undoubtedly do. the council will vote to elect Mir Pigeon to fll the unexpired term of Mir. Mag nan and Mir Magnon the unexpired term of Mir Pigeon
 Charles F. Donahue, Eugene Bro deur and Merle Fish made application for the positions of drivers of the new hook and ladder truck.
 The council voted to lease a strip of land at the corner of Mechanics and School streets, to the state. for lo years. The Federal government. CO., operating with the state, will erect q set of scales.

To live for years in the belief tha, ones brother was dead, is one thing But to have him suddenly appear al ones home. healthy, stalwart and prosperous. is another And both oi these experiences have now gone into history in the life of not only John Ryan. patrolman on the Putnam police force. but his brother. Edward Ryan of Providence. and his sister. Mrs Mary Congdon of Lowell. Mass
 IL was Monday of this week that a man knocked at the door of the home of Patrolman Ryan. and when Mrs Ryan answered the summons. asked f a John Ryan lived there who used to make his home in Pawtueket. K l. In a flash Mrs Ryan realized who the man before her was. and said to him You are Patrick j. Ryan. Johns brother" Her visitor acknowledged this fact and welcomed the invitation to accept the hospitality of one ot Putuam's guardians of law and order Mr. Ryan has been doing night duty of late and was asleep when his broth CT arrived, but he was awakened and one may we'll imagine the great joy of the brothers in greeting one an other-the first in over s years of the exchange Of "reminiscences of their boyhood days and of their ex- perienees since last seeing one an other. The visiting brother was ac- companied by his brother Edward of Providence and by his sister, Mrs. Congdon of Lowell, so the whole par ty comprised sort of family reunion. And a more happy affair there never was. according to Officer Ryan. He says his brothers and sister conspired not Co give him any warning whatever of the long missed brothers visit, and for this reason the surprise in the meeting was tremendous.
 Mir. Ryan did not know that his brother was living until Monday. but his other brother in Providence and his sister in Lowell. had known for quite number of days Their joy and happiness in finding the missing brother was just as great as that of Officer Ryan. and how this event came about Ia quite interesting.

To see if the city won't provide a way out of the difficulties of the Day Kimball Hospital. due 10 it's inability to cope any longer with its sewerage problem. the common council at the meeting last night voted to call spe- cial city meeting to be held on next Thursday. Sept 2i. when an sppropri- ation of S5.500 will be asked to ex- tend the city sewerage system to the hospital. City Engineer Perry has drafted plans for the sewer line that is such an absolute need. and the course it will follow k described in detail in the call for the city meeting. printed elsewhere in this issue. The city's share of the cost of the under taking would be s5,50o and the bal ance would be paid for by the hos pital, which has agreed to pay Sl2b0.
 Trustees of the hospital are asking the city to make the proposed sewer connections, only after failing in ey- cry attempt to meet their problem themselves. Gesspools will not take care of the sewerage of the institu- ton, and the trustees know of no method. after exhaustive study. to take away the hospital's sewage. ex- cept by being connected with the sew er. So the trustees put their problem up Go the common council, and the members of that city body, firm in the belief that the hospitals need is para mount. have now called a city meeting Co see if the voters of Putnam won't provide by special appropriation what the hospital is in such crying need of

He did not contribute to the support of his youthful wife.
 Boston Police Arrest Roger
 Acting on this message, Captain De lage got in touch with the Boston po- lice and gave them such an accurate and minute description of Langevin that the officers went to the Back Bay station, instantly recognized their quarry and placed him under arrest as he alighted from the train. Lange- vim made somewhat of fuss when ac- costed by the officers, but he got no- where with his remonstranees.
 He was taken Go Boston police head quarters, and the officers state that he confessed to his marriage to the Bag nall girl in February. Captain Delage went after Langeyin Wednesday, and early in the afternoon had him locked up again at the Putnam station. His arraignment in court yesterday morn ing followed

 Curtain Rises on Case Monday
 It was early Monday morning that Langevin and Miss Kelleher. who is the daughter of Mrs. Harold Kent. left the city for Worcester, with the firm intention. the young lady declares, of being married somewhere along the route of their journeys. Before lesy- ing home the girl left a note, saying that she was going away and for her mother not to look for her. But when Mrs. Kent found the note. she immedi- ately suspected the elopement and at once notified Captain of Police Remi Delage.
 Due to the captains quick work. he soon found out that the pair had taken train at the local depot for Worces- ter. and were bound for Nashua, \. If. He communicated with the Worcester police and they found the young peo- pie sitting close together in the rail- road station in that city. Langevin was arrested on the charge of kidnap- ping, and was brought back to Putnam by Officer Eugene Gibney. who went after him.
 The arrest of the young man and subsequent developments, started a story that has been read al about ey- cry breakfast table in New England.
