Mrs. Hampe with her blind husband and nephew is moving to Hartford where she has engaged a 1 house on Vernon street. Hear From Agent’s Superiors. People on Worthington ridge, who ! were defrauded by a peddiler, repre- senting the Safety Gas Lighter com- pany of Haverhill, Mass., have re- ceived answers to their communica - tions in which they lodged com- plaints against him. Officers of the firm say that the Mr. Williams who sold gas lighters here about a month ago, and who acted very discourte- | ously to residents, is not directly un- der their control. They have takem steps, however, to have his case In- vestigated, it is said. . The letters received inform the addressees that Williams bought his gas lighters at wholesale prices of six and one-half cents each. The firm was surprised to learn that their representative = had charged local people fifty cents for the arti cle which may be purchased in any store for ten cents. School Children Injure Signs. Selectman Willlam H Gibney has local schools in regard to having them prevent children in their classes from damaging the signs posted a short while ago to warn automobli- ists of tneir approach to u schooi. house.

Marriage License Issued. A marriage license was issued this mcrning to Christian Zwick of Hart- ford, aged twenty-one, and Miss Wil- Lielmina Schmidt, aged eighteen, of the Blue Hills district in Kensington. Owing to the fact that the bride-to. be is a minor, it was necessary foy her father, Louis Schmidt, to write his consent on the license. Mr. Zwick and Miss Schmidt will be married Saturday, April 18, at St Joseph’s Tectory in New Britain. Good Friday Hours at Post Office. As tomorrow is Fast Day, special who ! hours will be observed at the Berlin and Kensington post offices.

Exmployes are to receive their wages this evening. The American Paper Goods factory will close down for to- morrow only, operations being re- sumed Saturday. Still Another Fish Story. That local fishermen are vying with each other for honors, is evident ! from the number of reports which the | Hlerald receives as to the success of | their expeditions. Fach day brings a better story. Today’s record is the catch of a |large trout by Edward Alling of Kcnsington, which tipped the scales ifor exactly one pound and seven ounces. As the relator says: “If you | don’t believe that one” go up to { Monier's in New Britain, where said | speckled beauty. reposes in a con- “splcuolu place in the store window. Baseball Season Opens Tomorrow, ‘ As far as local teams are concerned, i the baseball season of 1914 will have its start tomorrow afternoon, for at that time, the Laurels and Indepen- | dents, both of Kensington, will cross | bats on the trotting park grounds. Eoth teams are strong and, while the i game is to be played more particu- larly for the purpose of trving out candidates, an interesting contest is { expected. ! “Scab Train” Discontinued. Fearing a disturbance at the Meri- | den’ railroad station this evening of- ficers of the Aeolian company dis- i charged their non-unfon help last 1 evening, one day in advance. Sub- sequently the so-called ‘“scab trair, made its last appearance last even- |ing and those local organized men, {who were planning to give them a “well-deserved send-off,”” were disap- pointed. Tt is said that Meriden men had made pretentious plans for getting a last “whack” at those who had worked in the Aeolian factory during the time i that the strike, which has just been settled, was in progress. Officers of the company heard of the plans, and (Continued on Tenth Page.) 1f you have a little money to spend for meat and want to make it go as far as possible at the same time | getting reliable goods go to Cowles store.~—advt.

Members of the Methodist (-n\lrch‘ tendered a farewell reception to their retiring pastor, Rev. 8. E. Lawson, last evening in the church parlors. | Despite the inclement weather there Was a good attendance, including sev- eral of Mr. Lawson’s friends who are affiliated with other churches. The retiring pastor and his wife, who also has been an active church worker since she came to Plainville, greeted their friends as they ¢ntered the par- lors. Musical selections, rendered by Fox's orchestra, proved an enjoyable fea- ture of the program. 8everal num- bers were given in a most pleasing manner., During the reception John A, Lamb, a member of the official board, on behalf of local Methodists, presented Mr. Lawson with a percolator. Mr. Lamb expressed keen regret over the pastor’s departure, but stated that the People of the town wish him unlimit- ed success in his new field. As pas- tor of the Methodist church in Darien, Mr. Lawson is afforded big opportun- itles and Mr. Lamb expressed the opinion that his appointment was a promotion that was well deserved. Responding to the presentation, Mr. Lawson expressed his thanks and also | told of his appreciation of thé friend- ship and co-operation shown by the | people of the church during the four years he had served as pastor and he made a plea for a continuance of | PARALYTIC STROKE Greenville, S.

Candidates for the baseball team to Tepresent Plainville during the sea- son will report .at Weoodford's field tomorrow morning at 9:30 for light work. The baseball association, un- der whose patronage the games will be .played, will meet this ‘evening in the court room in the Town hall to hear reports from Captain Thomas Firth on the prospects. The outlook for a good team is! said to be exceedingly bright and by | mid-season it is expected that the town will be represented by a club which will compare favorably with any of the semi-professional nines in the state. There is a wealth of good material from which the team can be selected, but it is the intention to give the local players the preference in picking the candidates. Captain Firth is a catcher and one of the best amateur ball players in this section. He has received some good offers from out-of-town teams; and his decision to play here is the| result of the persuasive efforts of lo-| cal friends. G. C. Woodford is taking a lively interest in the plans for the organi- zing of a club and he has given the association the use of his grounds on Pine street for the season. All interested in the efforts to have a good ball team for the town are invited to attend tonight’s meeting| and candidates for places on the nine are requested to report at Woodford's tomorrow morning. Mrs. Antonio Gnazzo. Mrs. Antonio Gnazzo, an aged Ital- ian woman, whose husband was de- ported to Europe a few months ago, dfed yesterday at her home on Bo- hemia street after a lingering iliness. She was sixty-two years of age and was the mother of Antonio Gnazz> and Mrs. James Minello, two well| known residents. Her husband was sent back to Italy to keep him from becoming a town charge, his relatives having re- fused to support him on account of his fondness for liquor. Mrs. Gnazzo's funeral was held this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock from the Church of Our Lady of Mercy. The services were conducted by Rev. Wil- liam Kilcoyne. Interment was in St. Joseph’s cemetery. Trumbull i Asheville. Henry Trumbuil, treasurer of the Trumbull Electric company, left yes- conform with the government's re- quirements, should the postal depart- ment decide to lease it for quarters for the local post office, is now in shape for inspection. The carpenters have practically completed their work and it is expected that the postal de- partment will send inspectors here probably next week to look over the premises, Postmaster Prior is in favor of moving the office from the Newton block on West Main street to the ‘Whiting street location, and he is anxious to have the inspectors make a report as early as possible in order that a change can be made without much delay, should the Rogers prop- erty impress them favorably. Clough Big “Feeder.” Harry Clough, a motorman em- ployed in the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company’'s lines, is today feeling no i1l effects of the big “feed” which he devoured vesterday to give the other trolleymen a demon- stration of the capacity of his stém- ach. On a wager Clough ate twenty- six eggs, hard boiled, at a single sit- ting, and when the last one was down explained that his appetite was still unsatisfied. Clough had wagered that he could eat two dozen eggs and he offered to prove his statement if his friends would pay the bill. They accepted and the husky motorman made good. To prove that his appetite was even bigger than he had at first thought, Clough adjourned to a restaurant and ate two more eggs and some rolls. The big meal had na bad effects on him and he worked as usual last night. His friends are now firmly convinced that it would be unwise to invite him to dine, especially when he is really hungry. School Children Debate. An interesting debate on the sub- ject :“Resolved, That Arithmetic Is a More Useful Study Than Grammar” was held this morning in the Gram- mar school, pupiis from the eighth grade participating. On the afirma- tive side were Edith Cooke, Gene- vieve Conilon and 'Helen Nilson, while the negative was upheld by Anna Suba, Hazel Conlon and Flma Hart. The judges, Cornelius Prior, John Crowley and Philip Morse gave a decision in favor of the affirmative. The children on both sides acquitted ‘themselves creditably and showed that they had prepared their argu- ments with considerable care. Brief Items.
