THE HARTFORD DAILY COURANT: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1898. 11 EAST HARTFORD NEWS. OF THE STATE, THE REV. AND MRS. JAMES A.

WOOD CELEBRATE THEIR ANNIVERSARY. A Large Number of Friends In Attendance-Many Presents Were Recelved -Real Estate Sale-Funeral of Martin E. Fox--News In General, The Rev. and Mrs. James A.

Wood of the Hockanum Methodist, Church celebrated the tenth anniversary of their marriage at their home on High street last evening. No written invitations were sent out but a general invitation was extended to the members of the church and friends and a large number were present, Among them were many members of the East Hartford Methodist Society and the occasion was a very enjoyable one. Gifts were numerous, among them being a gold watch Rev. J. A.

Wood. from the members of the church and friends with a suitable inscription on the inside of the cover; a very handsome china tea set and a purse of meney. Mr. Wood was born in Albion Mines, Pictou county, N. and was the son of Daniel Wood, who was born in Glasgow, Scotland, coming to Nova Scotia when a young boy.

His mother's maiden name was Catherine McPherson. She was born in Inverness, Scotland, and belonged to Highland Clan of McPhersons. On the mother's side there were two or three Presbyterian ministers. In 1888 Mr. Wood married Miss Barbara Clark in Boston at the People's Temple.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. C. E. Davis. He took his wife to Taunton, where he was then stationed, and a very happy ten years of wedded life has been passed by them.

Four children have teen born to them. Muriel B. oldest daughter, was born at North Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard, April 30, 1889; Orville J. was born in South Middleboro, August 30, 1891; Ruth and Althea were born in Hockanum, the first November 11, 1893, and the second May 15, 1895. Mr.

Wood's early life was spent in Nova Scotia, where he worked in a coal mine for thirty-five cents a day. His early education was received in the grammar and high schools of Providence, R. and afterwards he took a course in the East Greenwich Academy and the New Hampshire Seminary and College at Tilton. Later he took course at the Theological Seminary in Hartford. His father went to California, like many others, at the time of the gold craze.

One letter was received from him after his arrival in that country, but nothing has been heard of him since and it is not known whether he is dead or alive. Mr. Wood was at that time years of age and the care of the family fell largely upon his shoulders. He is well qualified to be the poor man's pastor for he knows what it means to be trained in the poor man's school. He struggled hard for an education and while in the grammar school in Providence he did odd jobs mornings and evenings.

While in the high Mrs. Wood. school he worked on the "Providence Morning Star." When attending school in Tilton, he had a ministerial charge in Wilmot and Andover, boarding himself during the week. His early life and such experiences as these have given him a deep insight into human nature and he would not exchange this education for all the learning of the schools. He has had three charges in the New England Southern conference, in North Tisbury, where he stayed three years; South Middleboro, where he stayed two years, and at Hockanum, five years.

This being the limit in the Methodist Church, he must move in April. When Mr. Wood came this charge five years ago there was discord among the people. For nearly a year before he came they had no regular pastor and were supplied by the Rev. Mr.

Eldridge of Hartford. The church property was run down and some members had left while others seemed read to go. Mr. Wood took hold of the task and with the help of a faithful board of stewards and trustees, a good work has been done. Repairs and improvements on the church and parsonage have been made amounting to over $1,000, and no debt remains.

The spiritual part of the work has not been neglected, for many have been added to the church and it is now a most loyal and harmonious If weddings are an indication of growth, this church ought ti be in good shape. Mr. Wood has had about thirty weddings in four years. Mrs. Wood is a Piles Cured In 3 to 6 Nights.

CHAPPELL, THE SLICK MAN, IS BOUND OVER.

Couldn't Furnish Bonds, 40 Went to Jail- Klondike Lecture -Chase Memorial Vase Presented -Deaths of Aged People--Notes. Charles I. Chappell was given a hearing in the police court yesterday morning. He was charged with having obtained $70 of James Jones in 1894 by false pretences and in a separate count with obtaining $25 in money and goods of John S. Kenyon last September In exchange for a check for $25 on the Windham National Bank of this city, the cheek being signed "Dr.

C. Chappell" and drawn to bearer. Mr. Jones and Mr. Kenyon detailed the elreumstances of their transactions with him and E.

E. Bass, teller of the bank, teetiffed that Chappell never had had any money on deposit In the bank. The evidence disclosed that Chappell was a keen one and was careful that no third person was near to overhear his negotiations with either Jones or Kenyon. Chappell claims that the present is the first time he has ever been arrested, but his demeanor in court showed that he was not a novice in such affairs. The only question he asked any of the witnesses was of Jones, and that was whether anyone was present when he claimed the partnership arrangement was made and the money turned over to him.

Jones replied that there was not as he (Chappell) did not want any one to know about the deal. Chappell evidently knew that he would be bound over and would have counsel assigned to him in the superior court, and he took no chances by making any statement when the opportunity was offered him in court yesterday. He simply had nothing to say. Judge Bowen found probable cause and held him for trial at the next term of the superior court under $500 bonds, in default of which he was taken to jail by Officer Hastings.

(Special to The Courant.) Torrington, Jan. 18. It was authoritatively announced today that Torrington is to have a new Industry and the old needle shop on Church street will again be put to use, a new company having 1 been formed to begin operations there. The promoters, who are local men of prominence, decline to state at present what branch of manufacturing will be undertaken, but it is known that a corporation with $50,000 capital stock has been organized, and that half of the stock has been subscribed for here. The Torrington men interested are Warden James Alidis.

A. F. Migeon, Charles Alvord, Elisha Turner. Charles Brooker, James A. Doughty and John Alvord.

These gentlemen collectively are the mainstay of the Coe Brass Company, the Excelsior Needle Company and the Turner Seymour Manufacturing Company, Their connection with the project gives it a standing that it would not otherwise have had. Mr. Migeon said to-day that the details of the project would be given out the latter part of the week. There are good grounds for believing that some branch of manufacture allied to those of the concern that is backing the new enterprise will be entered into. BIG OYSTER SYNDICATE.

New York Men to Control Many Acres in the Sound. A New York syndicate, composed of Thomas L. James, ex-postmaster-general; John E. James, William James, Charles F. James and George H.

Shaffer have taken out articles of incorporation for the Anglo-American Oyster Company. The syndicate now owns 400 acres of oyster ground off South Norwalk, and the intention 1s to buy 1,500 acres or more. Mr. James English partners buy annually from 60,000 to 70.000 barrels of dysters in the American markets, and it is our intention wholly to supply them. We have been giving them all we could for some time, but our beds are not of sufficient size to fill such an order.

We are capitalized for $50,000 now, but have the power to increase this to $500,000, which we will undoubtedly do. We expect fully to organize in the coming week. This is one of the biggest business schemes that has ever been undertaken in the oyster industry, GOOD ROADS PLANS. SUGGESTIONS MADE TO THE COMMISSION IN MIDDLETOWN. Scheme Presented by Vice-President Calet of the Federation or (yetistsEx-Commissioner NeDonald's Views -He Thinks Old Law Better Than This.

(Special to The Courant.) Middletown, Jan. 18. At the meeting of the state good roads commission this afternoon in the superior court room a plan was outlined by S. P. Calef, the vice-president of the Connecticut Federation of Cyclists, that struck the committee as being most feasible.

There were present Senator Keeler, Representatives Kenealy of Stamford, Hall of Willington, Hall of Waterbury, Hutchinson of Eesex, Pendleton of Stonington and Sampson of Woodstock. Representative Hutchinson acted as secretary. Selectman Kelsey of Ciinton favored good roads and thought that the state should pay twothirds of the expense and the towns -third. He favored the idea of bonding the state. Mahlon Pratt of Essex thought there should be a law that would not be a burden on some towns as the present law was.

Towns should be allowed to judge as to proper material to be used. He thought Essex would be in favor of bonding the state on long time bonds. Mr. Chapman of Westbrook favored -Governor Dewell's scheme of bonding the state. He thought the present law unjust.

Selectman James C. Pelton of Portland favored bonding the state for good roads. Ex-Representative Asaph H. Hall of Portland did not think 000,000 would be enough to build the main roads of the state. He thought the small towns, which have a large, amount of roads, should receive larger SUIT than the present law allowed.

James T. Inglls of Middlefeld W89 in favor of increasing the amount of good roads, The most feasible plan would be to bond the state A. N. Pierson personally was In favor of bonding the state if it would give good roade. Ex-State Highway Commissioner W.

R. McDonald thought the state should bear all the expense. He did not think the present law as good as the first one. The main lines should be built first. The bonds should run fifty years and a sinking fund be created to retire them.

Selectman Pratt of Essex favored bonding the state and a state supervision of roads. This was also the opinion of Selectman Otis A. Smith of Middlefield. E. H.

Wilkins of the Connecticut Division, League of American Wheelmen, favored one commissioner and five deputies and the issue of $5.000.000 in thirtyyear bonds. Towns whose grand list was less than $10,000 for each mile of state roads, for each dollar appropriated, should receive from $10,000 to 000 $20,000 per mile, $4 for each dollar raised; to $50.000 per mile, $3 for each dollar; $50,000 to $100,000. per mile $2 for each dollar over $100,000, dollar for dollar. An equalized grand list was to be used and the commissioner to have a charting of all official distances. He also advocated enforcing the wide tire law.

He would create a highway fund by the annual state appropriation of $200,000, by a direct tax on the state of 3-10 mill per year, this fund to be used to maintain roads and form a sinking fund to redeem bonds when due. Pearne Representative Briggs and Judge of this city also spoke in favor of good roads. Sheriff Brown sald Chatham would favor the state's paying all or nearly all of expense of roads. S. P.

Calef, the vice-president of the Connecticut Federation of Cyclists, was the last speaker. He said that the federation was preparing a bill which it would present to the committee. It did not favor a state tax but long term bonds and a yearly appropriation to pay Interest on them and create a sinking fund. The state should pay two-thirds three -fourths of the cost and towns the balance. The state should loan money to the towns at 3 per taktrig town bonds as security.

The main highways should be macadamized, gravel ting used on less traveled thoroughtares There should be three comnot one. The wide-tire act should be compulsory in four or Ave years. Representative Smith suggested that this would be opposed by the small towns, owing to the number of vehicles, to which Mr. Calef replied. The hearing then adjourned.

The commission will In Putnam two weeks from to-day. THE REV. MR. ARTHUR'S CASE. Council Hears Charges, Including That of Profanity, (Special to The Courant.) Wilton, Jan.

18. A council to-day listened to charges preferred against the Rev. C. M. Arthur of the Norfield Congregational Church, where there has been so much trouble of late.

The council was made up of thirteen ministers and elght lay delegates. It met in the town hall, the Rev. Charles Ray Palmer of New Haven moderator and Judge M. B. Beardsley as his assistant.

Fitch and thirty other members of the church, Among other things it is alleged that ing came to Weston, that he Mr. Arthur. misrepresented his standhas been tyrannical and that his demeanor has had a corrupting influence.

He is semi-conscious, OFF FOR KLONDIKE, (Continued from Page 1.) Treat admits the probability of an occasional error. He said in part to a "Courant" reporter yesterday. "It we do not strike luck it will not trouble us much as we are prepared for disappointment. In such a case we will each lose about $1,000 and fifteen months of our time.

Every member of the party has acquired an extensive vocabulary of minIng terms and geographical names, and uses them with great freedom in describing their future. They have the utmost confidence in their ability to withstand the cold of the new country and evidently have been getting into active condition during the last cold snap by exposing themselves freely.

The food question is the most Important problem to be dealt with in such a Journey, This has been solved in a Clarence Heidacher. manner eminently satisfactory to themselves. That which is most portable has been selected, that 1s, evaporated onions and potatoes, salt pork, beans, bacon, malted milk and other concentrated foods.

Tea and coffee, preferably the former, figure in quantity, as the last named, it has been whispered, induces the much dreaded rheumatism, a thought that is unpleasant to the traveler. The beef tablets and concentrated foods will always be carried on the person whenever the party divides for one reason or another, that in case of separation, sustenance may be gained from their consumption, without the use of which a death might result from starvation. Last, and by no means least, 150 pounds of good Connecticut tobacco will bring a much needed solace, together with pleasant memories of their distant homes. The main part of the supplies will be purchased at Seattle, the material taken from this state coming within the baggage limit of 150. pounds per passenger.

Clothing and Utensils. With the goods enumerated come two tents and three Yukon stoves. Much faith is placed in the heating ability of these stoves and one Klondiker remarked confidently: "'They will heat enough to drive us out of the tent in 'forty below' weather!" Each man has prepared a complete medicine chest for personal use.

Much attention has been given to the selection of clothing. There are biankets, boots, gloves and sleeping bags galore. C. E. House of South Manchester has filled the orders satisfactorily in the line of outside and underwear.
