The local churches, both Protestant and Catholic, were well filled at all services held yesterday and the spirit of Easter was in evidence. The mu- sic was superb and the sermons in- teresting. Activities commenced at the lin Congregational church with a sun- rise service at 7:30 A. M., which was largely attended. The morning wor- | ship fgllowed at the usual time and Rev. Mr, Fiske spoke elogquently on the subject, “Fear Not.” The praise ‘service in the afternoon was a very appropriate conclusion of the special services of Holy Week. Mrs. H. H, Damon and the members of the choir | deserve credit for their earnest work in the preparation of the program which Interpreted In song the spirit | of joy and hope which characterize the day. The pastor spoke briefly on “Easter Gladness.” The following young people were received into the fellowship of the church yesterday: Elsie Brownson Adams, Eleanor May Aspinwall, Viola Marguerite Aspinwall, Ruth, Viola Austin, Helen May Chamberlain, Sylvia Janet Dean, Maud Belle Mc-| Carroll, Hattie Louise Miller, Mabel Lucy Rawlings, Hazel Esther Vile and Margaret Webster Wilcox on confes- | sion of their faith.

The Easter cantata, “The Crucified,” ren- dered last- night, was a fitting ex- pression of Easter joy and was great- ly appreciated by all present. Miss Kathryn Stillman Bunce of New Britain was at her hest as alto solo- | ist. and Oscar Benson of East Berlin never sang better as baritone solo- ist. The plano and organ music was also commendable. The Ladies’ Ald church supper in Thursday evening. Rev. Edwin M. Pickup special Easter sermons at both ser- vices of the Kensington Methodist church. A program of many beauti- ful numbers was carried out by the Sunday school children during the noon hour. “The Joy Ber- will the serve parlors a on delivered of Faster in the Soul” will be discussed at the Tuesday evening service, under the leader- |ship of Miss Myrtle Ryor. The an- nual meeting of the Sunday school board follows directly after and >f- ficers will be elected for the comini year. _Local People in Wreck. Among other local people who suf-| fered slight injuries in the wreck of the New Britzin-Hartford dinky Sat- urday at Clayton’s Crossing, were Otto Malone, Louis Fiori and Artero | Maronl. Committees—President, | people appreciated the ex- cellent service afforded by the Herald promptly answering anxious Berlin queries on the telephone and issuing ,an extra with complete details of the unfortunate mishap. Many people living in his district went to Hartford via the dinky trains, ' Saturday, and their friends and relatives were overjoyed upon learning through *he columns of the Herald that none of the passengers were injured to any great extent. Mrs. Eldrege Quite TII. Mrs. Mary Eldrege is critically il with pneumonia at the home of her son-in-law, Superintendent James Dempsey of Colonel Charles Jarvis' farm. Dr. Gillan of New Britain has charge of her case and a trained nurse from Hartford is in constant attendance. \ Freight Engine Derailed. While hauling the rallroad com- pany’s big wrecker over the tracls of the “Y” In the Berlin freight yards, Saturday evening, a large freight engine jumped the tracks. It was essential that the wrecker be hurrled to the scene of the New Britain dinky wreck so a New Brit. ain freight engine was engaged to haul the heavy car away. Con- siderable time was consumed in re- placing the disabled engine on the rails. The tracks at the point of the de- railment, are used but seldom and the curve is too abrupt for engines of the larger type. To Hartford Via Berlin. Dinky trains running from Hart. ford to Bristol and return were run to Berlin and thence to their desti- nations Saturday night because of the fact that the Highland division right- i of-way was torn up in the accident at Clayton. Two of the three “Ys"” in the local yards were utilized and fair schedule was maintained. Boy Scouts Measured for Suits. A representative of a Hartford clothing firm was in town this after- noon taking the measurements of the boy scouts, who are to have the reg- ulation scout suits made up for them. There are about two dozen lads in | the Berlin detachment at present and many others have signified their in- tentions of joining the ranks very soon. Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, who is scout master, is making wonderful progress with the boys. . Four Bridgeport Boy Scouts hiking through town yesterday afternoon at- tracted the attention of several of their local comrades. The downstate Youths pushed a wagon tn which they carried a tent, cooking utensils and supplies. Saw It in the Herald. “I saw it in the Herald,” is the an- swer which Postmaster Henry L. Porter received from a Bristol young lady when he asked the latter how she learned that a letter addressed to her was advertised in the Berlin post office. Last Monday the Herald print- ed in its Berlin column a statement to the effect that a letter was ad- vertised here for Miss Alice Huhn. Miss Huhn called Mr, Porter on the TAX NOTICE. At the annual town meeting held on the first Monday of October, 1913, a tax of sixteen mills on the dollar on the grand Mst of 1913 was voted, the same to Become due and payable on the first Monday in May, 1914.

McMahon’s farm in Kensington, where he is training for a twelve-round bout with Sam Lang- ford to be fought in Boston April 28. He answired all questions of the em- { bryo “white hopes” in a cheerful manner, thereby galning many friends. The chief feature of yes- terday’s progsram was a fifteen-mile run along the Kensington roads. Today he took a jaunt to Meriden and return, after which he chopped down one of the largest trees on the farm. Playing handball and punching the bag comprised the program 'for the remainder of the day. Brief Mention. Mrs. BE. W.

Plerce of Worthington ridge took a turn for the better"yesterday and they dre now considered, to be out of dan- ger. Mrs. Pierce has been ill with pneumonia and her husband with acute indigestion. The malil at the Berlin and Ken- sington post offices was extremely heavy during the last few days of last week and today, due to the many Easter post cards which are always exchanged at this season. Miss Alta Judd spent Easter-in New York with a friend, Miss Inez Tol- ley. 8. A. Keeney of Blue Hills is con- fined to his home with an attack of acute indigestion, Miss Mildred Taylor, teacher in Miss Wheeler's private school at Hartford, is spending the Easter holi- days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jason M.

L. Barnes of New Britain, Mr. Barnes owns a big tract of land orn the mountain side. The big clift near the Electric field is a part of his property and it is understood that he rroposes 'to blast in this locality for stone to be used in road construction and rallroad work. | The place is admirably located for a | stone crusher site on account of its accessibility and proximity to the trolley tracks. John Morway Near Death. Reports from the bedside of John Morway, of Maple street, who is 1l With cancer trouble indicate that he in sinking rapidly and may live but a short time. Mr. Morway's condition has been critical for weeks. He has Leen making a brave fight, however, and his friends have marvelled at his vitality. He is now unable to take any nourishment whatever and is growing weaker steadily. ‘Was Passenger on Train. Fred Babcock, son of Fire Commis- sioner George S. Babcock, was a pas- senger on the “dinkey” train wreckea at Clayton Saturday afternoon but fortunately escaped being injured Mr. Babcock was shaken up a bit and | for a time was in a nervous state as a result of his experience but he shows no ill effects from it today. Mr. Babcock is of the opinion that the train was going at the rate ot | about fifty miles an hour at the time of the derailment. He does not be- lieve that spreading rails caused the accident but rather inclines to the theory that Engineer Benson applied the air brakes too suddenly, consider- ing the speed the train was moving at, as Clayton's crossing came into view. The engine was running backward at the time and Mr. Babcock thinks the sudden application of the brakes lifted the wheels from the ralls. Saturday Night “Drunks.” The town had an exceptionally large collection of visiting “drunks,” mostly representatives of Forestville and Bristol, to deal with Saturday night. After the saloons closed there were several of John Barleycorn's victims around the center and for a time they made things lively for the officers. Two or three fights were quelled while they were in the incipient stage and the particijpants managed to get on the trolley car without being arrested. It was said today in authoritative quarters that Selectman Johnson is preparing to instruct the officers to make an effort to clean up the center of the town. The local gang of curb- stone decorators, which sinoce Bristol became “dry” has been augmented by ly and the selectman belleves it 1is time the police did something to keep them out of sight. They at least should be forced to make their head- quarters in some place other than the streets in the center. Unless the Plainville constables prove themselves able to cope with the situation which has arisen as a result of the action of the Bristol vot- ers, an out-of-town patrolman may be appointed. , Easter at Churches. Impressive services were held in the local church yesterday with appro- priate Easter sermons by the pastors. In the Church of Our Lady of Mer- cy the decorations were elaborate. There was high mass in the morning and the cholr furnished a special pro- gram. In the evening the pastor, Rev. H. T. Walsh, celebrated vespers. ‘The Women’s Relief Corps present- ed the Sunday school class of the Church of Our Saviour with a silk American flag at the Easter festival held in the afternoon, The children in the Baptist church also participated in an Baster festival. Auction of Machinery. Machinery and other equipment of the plant of the defunct Plainville Pa- per Box company was sold at auction this afternoon to satisfy a mortgage foreclosuré judgment recently ob- tained by the Trumbull Electric com- pany. The box people were given eleven days by the court in which to settle the judgment to prevent the foreclos- ure sale. They neglected to take ad- vantage of the offer and Deputy Sher- iff Marsh sold the machinery. and equipment under the hammer. Brief Items. Mrs. Chloe Warren of Canal street was in Concord, N.
