Father and brother testified against | Wiiliam O’Donahue, the ‘black sheep” of their family, when he was arraigned this morning before Judge George Griswold in the Berlin police court. He is a fighter through ana #hrough, they said, and begged the judge to give him a long term in state’s prison so that they could be rid of him for all time, The testi- mony they offered, however, was not strong enough to warrant such action on-the part of the judge and he fined the white hope five dollars and costs. A-ythirty-day - sentence, which he im- posed, was suspended on condition that the prisoner does not make an- other appearance in court. O'Donahue was charged on counts; one for intoxication and the other for breach of the peace on Saturday last. He pleaded guilty to the former, but denied the latter. Thomas O’Donahue, a brother of | the accused and his double in ap- péarance, was the first witness to be sworn in. He stated that William has a decidedly mean disposition. Trouble had been brewing at the house in the two i he said, and towards evening the objected and grabbed him by the throat, he said, and in self defence, ! he threw his brother onto a lounge. After court had adjourned, James O’Donahue forbade his son to return home. ferent air and brushed out after ar- ranging with Judge Griswold for the payment of his fine. High Price for Dog License. The highest price paid for a dog! ligense this year is $6.04. Telesfora Zdczek is minus this amount because | of the fact that he recently purchased a harmless little fox terrier from an Italian laborer. No, the town authorities are not so unjust that their prices vary to dif- ferent customers, but this particular price was fixed by the town court to- day. Several complaints have been heard from Kensington residents of late of the damage committed by Zaczek’s, canine, the sequel of which was that Dr. Warren James Clark served a warrant on him Saturday. Two witnesses, Town Clerk Shaw and Frank Baldwin Day, Mr. Zaczek's neighbor, were summoned to witness against him. Some of the latter's rab- have been killed by the trouble- some dog which has made itself a general nuisance. Zaczek has owned the animal about four or five months and should have taken out a license for him long be-! fore this. The town clerk said that he had not registered the canine. Judge Griswold fined the accused one dollar and actual costs, all of which amounted to $4. 79, . Zac- zek then went down into the town clerk’s office and paid $1.25 more to have his dog licensed. Selectman Has Ptomaine Poisoning. Selectman Newton W. Baldwin is suffering with an attack of ptomaine poisoning. He was taken suddenly ill last Wednesday night after he had eaten some spare rib immediately be- fore retiring and his doctor feels that the meat was slightly decayed.

His testimony corroborated Thorhas' but he concluded by asserting emphatical- ly that matters have now gone toq, tar. The embryo “Gunboat’ Smith turned on his brother when given an lopportunity to question the witnesses. “Did you say I choked you?"” he mslfed fiercely. “I said you did!” replied the other. | ‘William denied that he had started | | the quarrel.

Plainville News BOSTON ENGINEER T0 TALK ON SEWER PLANS H. B. Eddy Wil Attcad Ansual Mecting of Sewer District Tonight. METHODISTS GREET NEW PASTOR Committee Does Not Expect Final Action at Tonight's Meeting—H. S. Woolley Dies in BPast Hartford—- Make Payment on Mortgage. Harrison B. Eddy of the firm of Metealf and Eddy of Boston, which has been engaged as consulting en- gineers on the layout for the proposed sewer arrived in town today and made 'preparations to give a talk to the voters at the annual meeting of the sunitary and sewer district to be held tonight in the Town hall. Mr. Eddy visited here a few weeks ago and went over the zone which it is pro- posed to sewer and also inspected the property which has been recom- mended to 'the district committee for sewer beds. The Boston engineers have had copies of Engneer McKernan's plans, which have been approved by tha officers of the district, for several Gays and their report will be presented at tonight's meeting. Consulting engin- eers were engaged after it was learned that the opposition to the sewer idea proposed to throw cold water on the designs made by FEngineer McKer- ran. It was said that they intended to insist on having the plans traced by a board of engineers before taking any action concerning their acceptance. The opposition was deprived of thls argument by the officers who engaged the engineers themselves. Mr. Eddy ‘has not given out any information as tc what are his opinons but he is ex- pected to make a thorough report at tonight's meeting. He will probably have many questions’'to answer in ad. dition to making his formal report and this feature of the session promises to be very interesting. Besides electing officers and trans- acting routine business the meeting will discuss plans for financing the project. Many suggestions have been made to the committee as to what means should be taken to pay for building the sewer and the members have two or three ideas to offer to the voters. While it was expected that definite action on the question of authorizing the officers to award a contract would be taken at tonight’s session, members of the committee said today that in all probability an informal discussion of the subject will be the limlt the voters will go to. FHarry S. Woolley Dead. Harry 8. Woolley, a .well known Hartford business man, died Saturday night at his home in East Hartford after a brief iliness. He is survived by his widow, who before her mar- rlage was Miss Lena Clark, and two small children. Mrs. Woolley is a daughter of Mr, and Mrs. W. E. Clark, former well known residents of this place.

Chicken thievea have started their spring activities in this locality and several of the residents have lost some of their choicest fowl during the past week. The boldest theft of the season was recorded Saturday night when Frederick Hickox's hennery was ralded. Thirty birds were taken by the thieves, who it is thought, used a team to make their getaway. Mr. Hickox found his coops deserted when he went out to feed the hens yester- day morning. Alarms and traps have been placed in many of the chicken yards and if the thieves continue to ply their trade their career may come to a sudden termination while they are here.

John Pepe, the well known horse trader, guided Mr. Missett's horse, and Mr. Brau drove for himself, The woodsman’s horse won by a narrow margin.
