PAUL'S DEDICATION MAY 24 Deferred Exercises Will Take Place on That _Day.~—Goodrich - Gets Settlement.—Literary Society An- P nual Meeting.—Mrs. Sessions Il After negotiations of several weeks, a deal was consummated yes- terday .afternoon between Louie Lan- za and the G. Prentice company, both of Kensington, for the purechase by the latter of a two story . factory ‘building belonging to the former which is situated on New Britain road and occupied at present by the Prentice company. This, added to.a large strip of land obtained about a month ago from the American Paper Goods company of Kensington, gives the Prentice company all title to a parcel . of land which abuts at the east on the Berlin-New Britain divi- ision of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and at the west on New Britain road and having a depth of about 200 feet. ” The /Prentice company will not al- ter its plans for the erection of an- other factory on the site, however, and has awarded the contract for a $10,000 addition to the B, H. Hib- bard company of New Britain, same ato be erected and ready for occupancy within sixty working days. Groynd will be broken for the foundation very soon, probably next week, if the weather permits. The new factory building is to be of mill cunstruetion, 100 feet by forty feet and three stories high. The Hardware City firm has also contracted to construct a detached building for the housing of a, 125 horsepower plant, which is to be in- ¢ ¥stalled by the Bigelow Boiler Works. , Officess of the Kensington firm feel that, ‘to meet all their orders, it will be necessary to provide room for four times the present number of seventy-five employes.

Goodrich of Worthington ridge has triumphed at last over Sam Robington of New Britain, against whom he brought legal proceedings several months ago to recover a horse and twenty-five dollars which he gave in return for a “gold brick” in form of a horse. Not only has his own horse and the twenty-five dol- Er‘! been returned to him, but the ew Britain man has been obliged to pay all lawyer's fees. Settlement was made out of court. the ! the contrary, decidedly spirited, and'| untrained. This was evidenced dis- tinctly when the local man attempted to drive his new charge along Farm- ington road; he shied upon meeting a trolley car, became utterly uncon- ; trollable and smashed the valuable carriage to which he was harnessed. | Mr. Goodrich went to Robington immediately and claimed that the deal was off. He had learned that a | bruise which the latter contended the ! horse had sustained in transportation | on the railroad, was nothing léss than lameness, and demanded retraction. Robington ‘“couldn’t see it.” He en- | géged Lawyers Saxe anl Hungerford | of New Britain to fight his case against ’ B. F. Gaffney, who was retained by the Berlinite. The case was not as- signed to the courts however until quite recently. It was to be heard in" the. Hartford court of common pleas this week, but the defendant evidently | saw that his case was weak for he offered settlement without further action. Mr. Goodrich fought for the prin- ciple of the matter and he feels highly elated over his success. ‘Warrantee Deed Filed. Town Clerk Shaw has received a ‘warrantee deed recording the sale of George Beckett's place on Turnpike rcad to Theodore F. Clark of New Britain, brief mention of which was made in the Herald some time ago. The property in question is bounded on the north by land of C. J. Mueller and estate of Henry Hollister; on the east by the estate of Henry Hollister and of C. J. Mueller, partly by each; on the south by property of C. J. Mueller and on the west by the high- way, Turnpike road. The parce] is the same that is now comprised within the limits of the boundary fences as they now exist. Literary Society Annual Meeting.

Well Kaown Gzen Passed Away at Early Hour Today. YOUTHS ARE WANTED “cACK HOME” Funeral to Be Held Sunday After- noon.—Crowe-Healy Wedding Mon- day.—Carrier Service Promised, According to Reports. John W. Morway, a lifelong resi- dent of Plainville, who for years was superintendent of Sessions Clock shop in Forestville, died at an early hour this morning at his home on Maple street after a long illness. Mr. Mor- way had been a sufferer from stom- ach trouble for a long time and for several weeks his condition had been critical. For over a montn his life had been despaired of by physicians in attendance and during the past few days his death had been hourly expected. Mr. Morway put up a brave fight against the ravages of the diseases and while he suffered greatly during his illness he seldom complained. Everything possible was done for him and after operations had failed to give him but temporary relief, it was planned to take him to for radium treatment. His condition became so critical, however, that the plans were abandoned hecause it was not thought he could stand the strain of the journey. The funeral will be held Sunday af- ternoon at 3 o’clock from his home. Services will be conducted at the house, the officlating clergyman to be selected later. Burial will be in West cemetery. Mr, Morway was fifty-six years of age and was a native of this town. He lived here practically all his life and was one of the town's best known citizens. He was a capable me- chanic and for years was one of Sessions Clock shop’s most valued employes. At the time ill health forced his retirement he was super- intendent of the plant. He had a most affable disposition and although a home-like man, made many friends, all of whom will mourn his passing. Besides his widow he is survived by three brothers, Lewis I, Henry B. and Edward Morway. The latter lives in Southington. He also leaves four sisters, Mrs. N. D. Kalish of Plainville; Mrs, Louis' Gleason of Chicopee Falls, Mass.; Mrs, Rollin Kirkham of Cheshire and Mrs. Hattle Coleman of Southington. Crowe-Healy Nuptials.

Carrier Service Promised. ‘Washington newspaper correspon- dents report that the postal depart- ment at the national capitol has au- thorized the appointment of two car- riers for the Plainville post office next month. While he had no ofiicial no- ‘tification of such action up to noon today, Postmaster P. J. Prior said that he would not be surprised if the order were issued as the matter of es tablishing city delivery here has been under consideration for some time. Postal inspectors who visited the town a week ago for the purpose of investigating the matter of leasing the Rogers building on Whiting street for post office quarters, advised the postmaster that they would start immediately to ascertain the status of the city delivery question in order that they might take definite action regarding new quarters. If- reports concerning an order for the appointment of letter carriers are correct the postmaster believes there will be a change in the location of the office in about a month.
