Bacon Prize Farmers’ Club Meets in Newington Tonight—D. A. R. to Elect. The Connecticut Trap Rock and Construction company, a close cor- poration with a capital stock of $€0,000 is being organized in Beckley Quarter and papers of incorporation Vill be taken out very soon. The new irm succeeds the Connecticut Crushed Stone company which was foreclosed a short time ago by Frank Becher of Hartford. Eight buildings, a ground storage tunnel and fifty-three acres of land, which were used by the old concern, have been appropriated, all the old viachinery has been tested and put . into perfect condition and operations = will be resumed at the plant in less than six weeks’ time. Officers are to be elected in the course of a few days. kmployment “will be afforded about eighty men by the new company. The Connecticut Crushed company's death knell was sounded when, after a series of difficulties brought about in competition with the suffield-Berlin Trap Rock company across the way; the officers were un- atle to pay Frank Becher of Hartford the interest due him on a mortgage. This barrier has now been broken by turning the plant over to Mr. Becher for the niortgage he held on it. The fact that there were no other bidders ‘made this action possible. The plant as it now stands is - worth. about $82,000. Officers elected at the organization of the Connecticut Crushel Stone com- pany in February of 1912 were the president, Louis Russell of Hartford; the vice president, Mr. Pedick of Fieckville; the secretary, Carl Becher of Hartford and the treasurer and general manager, Harry E. Hall of New York. Since the concern dls- banded, Mr. Russell has been incapa- vitated. Mr. Hall was taken ill a short time ago with ptomaine poisoning and will not return east to enter into the new venture. For this reason, it is Loss of Eleven Stone 19 B probable ‘that an entirely new per- onnel will be selected to manage the affairs of the Conmectizut Trap Rock and Construction. company, in which local men are interested. The machinery was used but little by the former company as they had not begun to fill any orders othcr than to supply the town of Berlin with some stone for roalwork. ‘It is therefore, in the best of condition. All that is lack- ing at the plant, which is situated on the Berlin-Middletown branch of the raflroad, is a spur track, and this will be installed as'soon as possible, D. A. R. to Elect Officers. Officers for next year will be el=ct- ed at the May meeting of Emma Pest Willard chapter, D. A. R., 'which i is to be held on the fifteenth of next month. - Mrs. George P.

Members of the chapter were very much impressed with the state vice regent, - Mrs. Charles Bissell of Southington, who attended the meet- ing yesterday afternoon and made a few remarks, Town Home Inmates Healthy. In compliance with a state law passed recently, Selectman William H. Gibney has had the four inmates of the Town home examined for the purpose of asceftaining whether or not they have any symptoms of tuberculosis. Dr. R. M. Griswold has just made his report, which states best of health. Chicken Thieves Again Active. Frank N. Bacon of Beckley Quar- prize chickens, valued at about thirty- five dollars, had been stolen from his henneries some time Wednesday night. The thieves depriveé one of his neighbors of all his stock. Circumstances in these robberies are similar to those attending many similar cases Wwhich have been brought to the attention of the author- ities, the outstanding fact being that the thieves appeared to have been acquainted with the surroundings of the coops which they have plundered.

Plainville News TAYLOR AND LESSARD WITHDRAW APPEALS Discontinue Contest to Collect From H. M. Clayton’s Estate. V.CTORY FOR ADMINISTRATOR NEAL Claims Had Been Disallowed by Com- missioners—Appeals Were to Have Been Heard in Superior Court— Runaways Are in Utica. Closing the final chapter in the protracted fight of creditors to annex liberal slices of insurance money be- longing to the estate of H. Manning Clayton, George J. Lessard and E. Alexis Taylor of Bristol have with- drawn their appeals from the decision of the commissioners, who disallowed their claims, and Administrator F. S. Neal is now preparing to file an ac- counting with the probate court. Notice of the withdrawal of the appeals was received from the admin- istrator this morning by Judge George R. Byington The appeals were to come up before the superior court at the present session and Judge Cooper had been retained by the administrator to represent the estate. Judge W. J. Malone of Bristol was counsel for both Lessard and Taylor. ‘With some other bills the claims in question were not allowed by A. H. Condell and Judge Thomas Welch, who acted as commissioners, on the grounds that they had absolutely no standing. Taylor sent in a bill for last summer when it failed in its at- tempt to prosecute IEdward Madeley | for failing to carry out its orders. The | society wanted Mr. Madeley’s horse J‘ killed but on the advice of a veterin- | arian, he refused, and was upheld by the courts. Plainville has since been without a humane agent, ¥. B. Newton and G. S- Babcock, who represented the so- ciety here, having been removed for assisting in Mr. Madeley’s defense. Their places are still vacant. Plan for Reception. Members of the Methodist ehnrch are making preparations for a fare- well reception to be tendered to their retiring pastor, Rev.- 8. E. Lawson and his wife. The affair will probably be held on Tuesday or Wednesday night. Mr. Lawson will assume the duties of the Darien pastorate tomorrow but will probably be unable to household effects from Plain: til the latter part of next weel Expect Lively Meeting. General interest is taken in the an- | nual meeting of the sanitary and sew- | er district to be held in the Town hall Monday evening and it is expected that there will be a large attendance. Although it is not expected that a vote authorizing the officers to make preparations to award a contract for | building the proposed sewer will be asked for at the meeting, no notice of such action being given in the call, there will be a general discussion concerning the merits of the plans prepared by Enginedr McKernan and approved by the district committee. Representatives of the firm of Met- calf and Eddy, which has been en- gaged to examine the plans, will be at the meeting to give their opinion of the layout and to make whatever suggestions they consider advisable. Brief Items. William Woods, a teamster em- ployed at Hart's livery stable, is seri- ously ill with pneumonia and [pleurisy. favorable reports were received to- day from the Hartford hospital con- cerning the condition of Mrs. J- J. Murphy, who recently underwent an operation. Her carly recovery is ce- pected. 5 Mass will be celebrated tomorrow lle un- royalties on a hand soap which Clay- ton manufactured. He claimed he had a verbal contract with the de- ceased manufacturer. The commis- sioners reported that Lessard’s claim had some merit as far as debt was concerned, but they ruled that it should be paid by the Gridley Realty company and not Mr. Clayton. The latter had borrowed some money from Lessard to be used for the Grid- ley Realty company, with which he was connected, and gave a note of the corporation as surety. The com- pany argued that it was a personal debt and the company should not be held responsible for it. Although bills for over $11,000 had been filed against the estate, the com- missioners allowed claims of less than $2,000, leaving over $6,000 for Mr. Clayton’s heirs. The report of the commissioners and the with- drawal of the appeals is a complete vindication of Clayton’s business deal- ings, the character of which was ques- tloned after his untimely end. It s also a victory for Administrator Neal who' vigorously resisted the efforts of the creditors to rald the estate. Judge Neal said today that some 'of those wWho presented substantial claims against the estate were really in Clayton’s debt at the time of his death and had they owned anything attachable, he would have brought suit against them to force a settlement. Runaways in Utica, Friends of the families have located Fugene Parkinson and Paul Leonard, two local youngsters who had an at- tack of wanderlust, in Utlca, N. Y., where it is said both are now work- ing. The boys left their homes a few days ago and their relatives have been greatly worried over their absence. ' 2 Parkinson is now a “bell hop” in a Utica hotel and Leonard is employed in a store, according to advices Te- celved here last evening. At the Churches. Congregalional—The pastor, Rev. F. L.

Thurston, who this week was appointed pastor of the local Methodist church, suec- ceeding Rev. S. E. Lawson, will con- duct services tomorrow. He is ex- pected to preach both morning and evening. Episcopal—Holy communion will be celebrated in the Church of Our Saviour at 10:45 in the morning. At the evening service, Rev. John H. Jackson of Hartford, will give the sermon. Commissioners to Meet. The commissioners having in charge the disbursement of the money in the Strong fund will meet Monday even- ing and will probably initiate Rev. G. B. Thurston, who by reason of his ap- pointment to the pastorate of the Methodist church, becomes a member of the board. According to Mr. Strong’s will, the pastor of that church is to serve on the board with a Con- gregational and Baptist minister and a republican and democratic layman. The board has had a busy winter, an exceptionally large number of applications for help having been re- ceived from the poor of the town. The commissioners have co-operated with the selectmen in relieving the conditions of the unfortunate and much suffering has been alleviated by their efforts. Humane Agent Here- Humane Agent Wells of the Con- necticut Humane society, has been in town during the week investigating complaints about horses being over- worked or otherwise abused and in two of three cases it is.said he has ordered the shooting of the animals. This is the first visit of the society’s representatives to Plainville since (Palm Sunday) at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy at 9 o’clock. Health Officer J. N. Bull has re- moved the quarantine from the home of William Kelly on Canal street. Two of Mr. Kelly’s sons who were ill with scarlet fever have recovered.
