 SERIOUS LOSS TO CITY

The five local freight crews that have been taken away from Putnam since these locals have ceased to make this a terminal point number ap- proximately thirty. There is one less switching crew and at the rouna house, where there are now but two locomotives housed, the employees have been reduced by about eight AT the coal chute there has also beer eurtailment and several yard clerical maintenance, and traffic jobs have been eurtailed. A like situation ha, arisen at the freight depot and it iss rumored that Putnam may lose itas importance as a trasfer point.
 Whether these changes are to be permanent or whether the jobs vii be restored when there is an improve ment in business is not known A, the present time the cutting down of the number of employees. with it's cor responding cut in the railroads weekly payroll. is being felt by the business interests of the city.

Kid kaplan Headliner-k. of C.
 Minstrels

The manager of Kid Kaplan. feath- erweight boxing champ. having signed his boy for bout next Monday night, the entertainment in which the cham pion was scheduled to appear at the Bradley Theatre that evening has been advanced to Tuesday evening. January 26. rather than disappoint the hun dreds of ticket holders who were look ing forward to seeing Gonneetieut's premier ring product.
 Rev George F. Donahue. who has arranged for the big evenings benefit for the Holy Name Society of Pom fret, has been assured that kaplan will be on hand Tuesday evening, and aside from a change in date the big show will be staged as planned.
 Surrounding the featherweight champion will be the K of C. minstrel aggregation of Webster. numbering in the ensemble and speciality depart ments some unusually good amateur talent now being coached by the vet eran producers. John ?. Heald, John E. Goggin and Billy o'Donnen. MT. Heald especially is well known as q successful producer of amateur enter tainments in Webster and Putnam.
 Kaplan will be seen in action in an exhibition bout and ticket holders for the big affair will get the first oppor- tunity ever afforded them to see box CT, who is sitting pretty at the top of the profession in his class, in action. The featherweight champs presence in Putnam will be big drawing card in itself, but the evenings entertain ment will be we'll rounded out with the minstrelsy offering.
 After the show Kaplan will be ban quoted by the Holy Name Society at the Putnam Inn, but it is rumored that he will be more seen than heard, for, us a speech maker. he is a champion boxer.
 Tickets for the affair have been sell- ing for some weeks. and the demand for the pastebeafds has been exceed ingly gratifying to those in charge, assuring large and enthusiastic re- ception to the champion and to the Webster minstrel aggregation.

The retrenehment policy of the N. Y. IN. H. & II. Railroad. which has taken the form of a eurtAilment among train crews and other depart ments of the system, seriously affects Putnam. Ii is believed that from seventy five to eighty men, whose daily wages have been spent in Put nam, are not at present drawing those wages in this city. The loss of this weekly payroll. the amour, of which is only problematieal. but is eonssr- vatively estimated at ever 5000 a week, is a serious one to Putnam.
 While the railroad officials are not prone to give the details of the re- trenehment changes in Putnam, those who have observed the recent change have computed the number of men who have been retired from former jobs in Putnam and believe that seyenty-five Co eighty Is a conservative estimate.

READY TO QUESTION
 FORMER CASHIER
Receiver Coffin h Conference With Governor Thursday
 Meets Committee Today
Answers of Gilpatrie May Furnish
 Key 10 Mystery

Receiver George Nj. Coffin, in Hart ford. Thursday, on matters pertaining to the case against the Putnam Buick Company. conferred with Governor Trumbull in the interests of expediting the temporary transfer of former cashier, G. Harold Gilpatric, from Att lanta to Hartford for questioning.
 Mir Coffin appeared to be out of sympathy with the view of Lawyer John F. Carpenter, who had appeared before Referee in Bankruptcy Saul Berman Wednesday and objected to having Gilpatrie brought North for question for the present, on the ground that more than q month of continuous work by lawyers and ae- countants would be required, in his opinion, before they would be pre- pared to question Gilpatrie.
 Mr. Coffin told the governor that he is ready to question Gilpatfic without further delay.
 Answers to Gilpatrie to certain questions which Mir Coffin wants ans wered. he said would furnish him with the key to solve the mystery of the of enormous sums un- accounted for "a date.
 Governor Trumbull advised Mf Coffin that. since he had turned over to his special commission the re sponsibility for the states inyestiga- ton of Gilpatrie's transactions as state treasurer. he was reluctant to commit the state. He invited MT Coffin to meet his committee at a meeting which is being held in the governors office at 10 o'clock this morning.

STORE AND HOUSE
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Eastford Has Early Morning Blaze With Loss of Over
 S10,000
House I5o Years Old Destroyed In
 North Grosvenordale

Eastford and North GrosvenOrdale have recently been the scenes of dis astrous fires. The fire in the former village occurred at an early hour, Tuesday morning. The first on the Woodstock road out of North Gros- venordale. occurred between 9 and II o'clock, Wednesday morning. In East ford the general store of Areha .. Walker was burned to the ground with a loss of from SlO,O0O to slZ,- 900. In North Grosvenordale the large house on what is known as the "Rastus Elliott" place, together with one barn and a shed, were totally destroyed.
 The Esstford Fire
 Fire was discovered in the Eastford store between , and o'clock Tuesday morning. There was no way of fight ing 1t except by bucket brigade and the fire had gained such headway and spread so rapidly that little could be done. 4 high wind carried burning embers some distance and other build ings were threatened.
 How the fire started IS unknown. Mir Walker closed the store Monday evening about 6 o'clock. At that time there was hardly any fire in the stove. When the blaze was discover ed flames were breaking through the roof and sides of the building. The store was heavily stocked and nothing of value could be saved. The loss, estimated at ten to twelve thousand dollars. is only partly covered by in- surance.
 The burned building was one story wooden structure about 30 \ 30. 1t was built several years ago by John J. Young who for a time conducted the store The store came into the possession of Mrs. Beatrice E. Ken nedy. wife of N. Waldo Kennedy, who ran the business successfully for some years. Mrs. Kennedy sold the pro- perty to Mir Walker some three years ago.
 House i5o Years Old
 l. was shortly after 9 o'clock. We'd nesday morning. that Mrs. Thomas Krevieh discovered smoke and flame issuing from the partition in the house on the ground floor near the chimney. The flames soon burst through and the interior of the house was mass of flame in few minutes from the time the fire was discovered.
 Help was summoned from North Grosvenardsle and twenty-five men responded They were unable to dn much aside from saving q small amount of furniture and some farm ing implements from the barn. The cattle and live stock were taken to place of safety The loss is estimat- ed at over S3.000 and the place was insured for s2.300. Mir. and Mrs. Krovieh have lived on the place sew eral years.
 The house destroyed was q large two and a half story dwelling and is said to have been at least 15O years old. The sparks from the burning house set one barn and a shed on fire. They were also destroyed. One barn on the place was saved.

FIDDLERS SIX NOW
 BOOKED IN CONTEST
Much Interest Has Developed In Old Timers Competition
 At Bradley Theatre
Other Entries Expected.-T~o of
 Three Judges Chosen

The past week has developed a great deal of interest in the appear anee of the old-time fiddlers' contest to be staged in the Bradley Theatre on Monday evening, Feb. 1. One of the latest to signify his intention to compete is Jonathan Whitford of Eastford, aged 73. It was Mir. Whit ford who first drew attention to the old timers in Windham by issuing a challenge that resulted in the contest in Providence in which the aged violin player took part. He is welcome acquisition to the group already sign cd up. which includes Henry Pray. Ballouville: George O. Ross, Putnam ; Gus Tetreault. Putnam; John Supre- naut. Putnam. and Jerome Shippee, Putnam.
 Doubtless there will be other en- trants before another week passes and Willimantic's champion. Cote, will ap- pear unless he is prevented by other eHeagemnets.
 The SsA Amusement Company's venture is to be a success. That Is q furegone conclusion. The interest in the contest has passed expectations all ready There will bc three judges. two having already been selected They are Postmaster Macdonald and John \. Morse. the latter a lifelong violinist and maker of high class vio- lins Mir. Morse is not eligible to com pete for he k a virtuoso and not in the fiddler class, although he doubtless could give imitation of the old-timers. many of whom play their iiddles by cal.
 In addition to the offerings by the S-A Amusement, both local newspap- CTS, The Patriot and Observer, have contributed cash prizes of five dollars to be awarded at the discretion of the management and the iudges.

Putnam has a left handed fiddl- er. He Is so far as known the only south paw in the state. He has an especially arranged fiddle with strings reversed. The fiddler Is Wallace Aldrieh and he is the seventh entrant in the contest to be staged at the Bradley theatre. Mir. Aldrich is a bit modest. other wise, before this, he would have lssued a challenge to all left hand ed hddlers ia the state. possibly New England or the United States. Such d challenge would be interest ing as it would disclose If there are other south paw bow weildors in the country.

TO DISCUSS TRADE
 SCHOOL ADDITION
Opportunity to Be Given Pub- lie This Evening to Express
 Their Views
School Buildings Are Now Over
 Crowded

An important public meeting will be held at the high school building at s o'clock this evening. All who attend the meeting will be given an opportunity to express their views on the proposed addition to the Putnam State Trade school. No definite ac- tion will be taken as the appropria- ton will have to be made in town meeting. The committee, however , wishes to get the expression of opin- ion from as many as possible, as n matter of information.
 The proposed addition to the Trade school is in part to relieve the con gestion at the High school. The prob lem confronting the town school com mittee is as to whether a costly ad- dition shall be built to take care Of the growing demands at the High school. or whether the town will vote to build an addition to the State Trade school which will relieve tke congestion in both buildings.
 Valuable Asset
 A feature of the State Trade school aside from it's excellent educational advantages, offered free of charge to all classes of pupils. is it's value as an asset to the mercantile and indus trial life of the city. A citizen in close touch with educational affairs stated, Tuesday. that without doubt the state spends from S25 ,000 to S35. GOO annually on the Putnam school. including the salaries of in- structors, supplies, etc. Most of the money Is spent in Putnam as the instructors all live in the city and furthermore the state purchases mer- ehandise in Putnam that Is necessary in maintaining the school In addition to this the town receives S100 900 foi outside pupils attending the Higf school
 City Enriched
 h the past ten years the city Ina. been enriched over S200,0O0 by hay ing the school here as well as adding to the educational advantages the town has to offer. From an economic standpoint the Trade school k bene. fit to Putnam and it's growth. ever though f entails the expenditure ot money hy the town tc supply larger school building. is an increased asset to che business as we'll as the educa. tional advantages of Putnam.
 The problem will receive free and open discussion at the meeting this evening and it is the duty as well as the privilege of everyone interested in the towns welfare to attend and take active part.
 The members of the committee ap- pointed to investigate the needs of an addition to the Trade school build ing are Byron D. Bugbee. chairman, Henry J. Thayer. Silas NJ Wheeleek John Bulger. William P. Warren and Alexander Gilman.
