over one hundred users of electric
power were inconvenienced, as were
also the many users of electric lights.
This fuel oil is fed to the boilers with
out the aid of air or other pressure
and therefore the supply can be fur
nished direct from barrels, but, of
course, not to such good advantage as
if by the regular pump line. It is ex
pected that the plant will be in condi
tion to run to capacity by this (Tues
day) evening.
The George W. Moore Narrow Fab
ric company was compelled to sus
pend work Monday for lack of mo
tive power which is expected to be
furnished by the Westerly Light and
Power company, but which failed as
stated. The narrow fabric company
is a new industry to Westerly and is
doing a good business and without
any bluster. This plant is now giv
ing employment to sixty-five well-
paid persons with wages in some in
stances as high as $5 a day. and it is
said that a girl who cannot earn $12
a week Is considered incompetent. The
concern has no difficulty in securing
desirable help.
Sydney Alfred Chapman, of Wester.
ly, aged 63, died Monday morning, at
his home in the section known as
District No. 6. He was born in the
old Chapman homestead and always
resided within the borders of the town.
At the age of seventeen he 'began the
work of stonecutting and was active
ly engaged in that trade up to three
years ago. He contracted the disease
known locally as stonecutters' con
sumption, caused by the inhalation of
granite dust. Mr. Chapman has served
as a member of the town council and
three years ago received the appoint
ment of forest fire warden for the
town of Westerly and retained that of
fice until his death.
Mr. Chapman is survived by his
widow, a son Sydney and a daughter,
Cora M. Chapman; also by two broth
ers, George E. and E. Merton Chap
man, and two sisters, Mrs. Elmer Bur
dick and Mrs. Elizabeth Murphy.
Mfihrfa the rising of the Pawcatuck
tfipur by reason of tha continuous rain
caused more or less damage to some
properties along1 its banfca, none has
been reported of serious consequence
and only tha expected results from
the semi-occasional freshet material
ized. Now with tie rushing waters
going seaward and the rainfall at an
end, the wafer is slowly receding in the
Hooded sections, and tha danger that
impended nas passed.
Perfaaps the most serious inconven
ience of the flood was the entering of
-water Into the oil tanks of the Wes
terly Xsght and Power company, that
depends entirely upon oil as a fuel.
As a result the plant was put out of
business early Alonday morning and

Have ready a pail of warm

a soft cloth in the water,

Do not wash windows when
the sun is shining on them.
Mirrors should be washed in
the same way as windows.
Then polish with a. soft cloth

Coughs and Consumption.
Coughs and colds, when neglected.
always lead to serious trouble of the
lungs. The wisest thing to do when
you have a cold that troubles you is
to get a bottle of Dr. King's New Dis
covery. You will get relief from the
first dose, and finally the cough will
disappear. O. H. Brown of Musca
dine, Ala, writes: "My wife was down
in bed with an obstinate cough, and I
honestly believe had it not been for Dr.
King's New Discovery she would not
be living today." Known for forty
three years as the best remedy for
coughs and colds. Price 50c and $1.

Pains in the Stomach.
If you continually complain of pains
in the stomach, your liver or your
kidneys are out of order. Neglect
may lead to dropsy, kidney trouble,
diabetes or Brigbt's disease. Thou
sands recommend ijieetrie Bitters as
the very best stomach and kidney
medicine made. H. T. Alston of Ra
leigh, N. C, who suffered with "pain in
the stomach and back, writes: "My
kidneys were deranged and my liver
did not work right, 1 suffered much,
but Electric Bitters was recommended
and I improved from the first dose. I
now feel like a new man." It will
improve you, too. Only 50c and $1,

Street Committee Authorized to Spend
$600 on Oil Wagon.j
There was a large attendance of citi
zens at the city council meeting Mon
day evening in anticipation of a sharp
discussion of the ice situation in Wii
limantic. After the routine business of
accepting reports, a legal opinion was
read from Corporation Counsel Kelly
to the effect that the city did not have
the legal right to give any. person or
persons the franchise for the exclusive
sale of ice in this eity, while it could,
under legislative privileges, go into the
ice business on its own account. There
was no action taken on the ice prob
lem, which leaves the situation un
changed. The matter of purchasing
equipment for oiling streeets was con
sidered at length, representatives of
the Studebaker company, Standard Oil
company and the Texas Oil company
making statements to the council rela
tive to the cost of an oil wagon and
the expense of oil. The Texas com
pany representative made the lowest
bid for furnishing the oil, and he claim
ed their product penetrated into the
ground, while the Standard oil remain
ed on top.
The aldermen instructed the street
committee to purchase an oil wagon
Which will probably cost $600 and oil
for the streets, all at a cost not to ex
ceed ?2,000.
Chief Richmond's report showed
there had been 46 arrests in this city
in March.
A number of petitions for sewers,

John Collins was appointed city en
gineer at $6 per day for actual ser

to $2 for nine hours' work and street
pavers a raise from $2 to $2.25 a day
of nine hours. Their petition was re
ferred to the water and street com
mittees to investigate and report.
Mayor Dunn favored a progressive
policy in the maintenance of the
streets, and he was authorized to call
a special city meeting to see what act
ion the city will take relative to the
proposition of the state highway com
mission to permanently assume the
care of about a mile of a portion of
Mam street after Willimantie shall
have put it in condition at a probable
eoet of between $400 and $500
A communication from the Albany
