B STORE JlLriiD GFF LAUREL HILL DR10G2 William Moore, Aged 50, Carried Down the Shetucket - and Then Swam Out Into the Harbor Where He Was Rescued Frank Petrofski Rowed Out and Caught Him .as He Was About to Sink. Bridge jumping has appealed to but few in the past several years, although some years ago as a sport it got a hold on a few of the local daredevils, and furnished plenty of excitement. There was a repetition of it Monday afternoon about 4.15 o'clock when Wil liam Moore of No. 278 West Thames street, a papermaker, with a different object in view, jumped headfirst off the bridge into the Shetucket river, keeping afloat until nearly to the freight house and from that point to the center of the harbor he swam un til rescued by Frank. Petrofsky, who rowed out to him and took him into the boat Just aa he was giving up. Many saw him in his helpless position, but could do nothing, and had not Mr. Petrofsky gone to his aid, which he did at a big risk, he would have gone to. the bottom. . Moore had been at the almshouse, where on Saturday he caused quite a little trouble while under the Influence of liquor, and he was taken to the police station. He remained there un til Monday morning, when he was pre sented before Deputy Judge Barnes in the city court. On his plea that he could get work in Montville if giv en a chance, he was placedon proba tion until the first of February and al lowed to go. . He did not go to Montville and dur ing the day had been drinking more. During the afternoon he was at the se lectmen's office. He was told to come back later, as those in the office at the time were busy, and he went away. He must have gone almost di rectly to Laurel Hill bridge for the purpose of ending his life. He was seen to walk on the bridse from twen ty to thirty feet and jump headfirst into the river. . Charles E. Brady was just driving on the bridge from Talman street when he heard someone holler and he saw Moore's feet as he was dis appearing downward. It is believed he landed on his back and did not go very deep into the water. The indications are that he was slightly stunned by the cold plunge and the force with which he struck the water, so that, partially submerged, he was carried by the current until he had nearly reached the freight house., when he seemed to recover himsslf and began to swim. ' From that point he was carried by the current and by his swimming out into the harbor, cover HEARING ON SCHOOL. Residents of Harbor District at New London ' Remonstrate to Board of Education.

The four acts wore well staged, the settings being excellent and adding much to the success of the production. As Joe Brooks, Robert LeSueur play ed the part of the young man who took the earnings of the company by which he was employed and spent them in his own behalf and then sought to have his wife atone for hfs wrongdoings. His work was, as usual, of a high order, and at various points throughout the play the-audience ac corded the players much applause. , Gertrude Perry, as the wife of Joe Brooks, played the role in a most ef fective manner. Particularly fine was she In the scene at Captain Williams' quurters, while equally strong was her work in the closing scene when she laid before hef husband his faults and failure. S. F. Cairns as Captain Will iams was fitted for the role and his work was excellent throughout, while Laurence Dunbar as Jimsy was like wise clever as a friend of the family. J.'A.

This is decidedlv- the. latest in capital pun ishment Chattanooga Time ing, it was thought,' about a quarter of a mile in the ice-cold waterr" Frank Petrofsky of West Thames street was 'told that it was his boy, and he hustled to the river and cast ing off a skirt began te row out to the man in the water. There is loe on the harbor, so that he was obliged to row down toward the McCrum-How-ell foundry in order to get around this and then' up stream again to reach the man. i re was none, too soon, as Moore was Just barely a'ole to make his hands go and his head was wobbling when Mr. Petrofsky got hold of him. Then came a hard and dangerous task, the hauling into the boat of an almost helpless yet thoroughly frightened man. This was accomplished after a hard struggle in which the boat was half- filled with water. Mr. Petrofsky had exerted himself to his limit In rowing out to the center of the har bor, believing that it was his boy who had gotten overboard, which, to gether with his efforts to get the man into the boat at the great risk of tap setting, had him about exhausted. He was, however, able to row ashore, but could give little help in getting Moore from the boat to the shore. Michael Murphy took Moore from the boat and carried him on his back to his saloon in West Thames street, where his wet clothes were replaced by a blanket, and he was given a hard rub bing with dry towels by direction of Dr. Higgins, who had been called. Moore was unconscious when taken from the boat, but under the brisk rubbing he soon revived. Tho nmhnlAnre was called and he was taken to the almshouse by Policed man Henderson. He was in a hyster ical state in the ambulance and there were times when the policeman had all he could do to restrain him. He complained of cramps every little while, but it was thought that he would have no serious effects from his experience. There was a large num ber attracted to the river bank. Al though he went overboard evidently intentionally he made a hard fight to get out of the water, although he was swimming away from the nearest docks all the time. He la married and has a family. For many years he resided in Greeneville and Is an ex pert papermaker. The distance from the rail of the bridge to the water is between thirty and forty feet.' He was apparent uninjured by the Jump.

Proposed Idea of Taklnd the Fralght .From and To the Groton and Stow ington Line at Groton. The merchants along the line of the Groton and Stonington trolley road are to have increased facilities for shipping to and from New York If the reported plans of the road' to erect a dock in Groton are carried out, says fhe New London Telegraph. These plans call for the stopping there of tho steamers of the Norwich and New York Propeller Co. every day, and the running of two boats instead of one. I - The plan has baen under contempla tion for some time, and Its ultimata adoption, 'it Is id, depends entirely upon the support given it toy the mer chants and manufacturers of Groton end Stonington.' The -project, is being advanced by the trolley company and has received the. support of the Nor wich and New York propeller line, but the electric road will have to show business for the freight steamers three times as large as tliey are now getting. At present there is a working- plan between the G. and 8. trolley express and the propeller line of freight terniFi. AH the freight to and from New York which each company can secure is bandied on a 50 ,per cent, basis, but there are drawback to the methods that have to be employed. Tills freight is landed at the dock of the. Propeller line at the foot of Federal street, and ha to be trucked to- the. ferry boat and then transferred across the river. As many as five double loards are carried each day and besides being an inconvenience, the pspense of trucking amounts to a lar-je Item. In view of this extra expense the G. and S. trollev line has advanced the nlnn or building a dock on the Groton side of the river, the dock to be erect ed on the Susan tilorsan property, alongside of Captain Chipnmn's fish market. The plan meftts with tho epproval of the Norwich and New York line, which has expressed Its willingness to load and unload' freight thre if the flock ia built. The freight boat fc carrying from 15 to 25 tons of freight eaoh day for the trolley express, and if this can ho increased to 50 or 75 tons a day th projecit will twwSoufcedly go through. For some time past the G. and 3. officials have -been making endeavors to secure the promises of freight for this line from the merchants and man ufacturers, and it is generally under stood that their efforts have been so far successful that ft is said the Gro ton dock is about to be bultt. In the winter the Propeller 'line runs but one Iboat: In summer two. Should the deal go through two boats will be used all the year around.
