FARMER'S - THRILLING EXPERIENCE Escapes Death or Serious Injury— Short Circult Leaves Berlin Darkness—Grange Building Com- mittee Signs Contract—Other Items. While passing down one of the back roads near the old John Hall place yesterday afternoon, the rear wheels , of a heavy automobile truck belong- ing to McMahon and Flanagan, a Meriden trucking firm, crashed through the planking of the bridge spanning the stream between the two ponds of the Meriden water works &and dropped a distance of three feet into a foot or more of water. For- tunately, the front wheels of. the truck had passed over the weak spot + 2nd the motor was undamaged by the shock, the only loss being that of the rear license marker. A heavy load of hay, which was teing conveyed to Meriden for the city, was loaded well enough to pre- vent its falling off into the brook and Leing . spoiled, and after considerable werk with jacks, the auto, which has | » @ capacity of five tons, was raised and sent on its way. / This morning a force of the toivn's men, under Superintendent Elmer Skinner went down to the bridge and repaired it, the road being passable at this point again. The cost to the town will be slight. In talking over the matter with a Herald reporter this morning Second + Selectman Newton W. Baldwin stated that at the time when this bridge and many other bridges on the back roads were built, they were never intended ior such heavy traffic as they are now being subjected to. “Automobile trucks were not even dreamed of in those days,” said the selectman, ex- rlaining the great problem with which their introduction into the commercial world has confronted town authori- ties. * The accident yesterday was the second of its kind which has occurred in this town in a short time. About two months ago the heavy Cremo ., PBrewing company’s truck of New * Britain, crashed through one of the tridges in the eastern section of the town. It' is the plan of the selectmen to strengthen the majority of those ola * bridges which aye situated on roads where traffic has become heavier dur- ing the past few years, with an object of eliminating further trouble of this kind. The Paper Goods bridge will be re- paired or replaced by a new structure ™ very soon, as it Is considered unsafe. Only last week Selectman Willlam H. {Gibney engaged one of the engineers at the Berlin Construction company to examine it, Farmer Has Narrow Escape. ~ Due to the breaking of a bridle on & horse, hitched to a wide hayrake 5 | upon which he was driving dotwn ILower Lane, an Italian farmer, who : resides on Christian Lane, had a very | narrow escape from serfous injury and probable death late yesterday af- ternoon. As it was, he became so thoroughly frightened that his res- cuers had great difficulty in reviving bhim after helping him out of his dan- gerous predicament. The farmer, whose name could not be learned, had just ‘turned into Lower Lane from Farmington road when the bridle, which was badly| worn, snapped in twa. The horse was startled and began running down the road at a fair clip, heedless the driver's cries. The. latter was thrown from his. seat and barely missed being thrown to the ground when he caught hold of one of the shafts with his hands. From this position he tried. to leap to the ground but was prevented from doing so, owing to the fact that his feet had be- come entangled in the reins. Try as 'he might, he could not free his feet and was in imminent danger of losing his hold on the shafts at any mo- ment and falling under the wheels, behind which the sharp tines dragged menacingly. He clung tenaciously on, however, and was faint from exhaustion when ‘Walter Brown and-a few others, who' chanced along, perceived his predic; ment, brought the horse to a stop and liberated him. The frightenea farmer could neither stand nor speak and was not able to proceed on - his way home- ward until quite a while after he was revived. Before going, he told his rescuers that while passing the Mat- tabessett river bridge, one wheel of the hayrake had almost gone over the side. If this had occurred, the whole outfit would have been plunged into the river with ‘the possibility of fall- ing on the occupant and killing him. Leave for Scotland Saturday. The Misses Janet and RBeatrice Thomson and brother John, children of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thomson of Kensington, will leave Saturday on board the steamship Cameronia, for a stay of about eight weeks in Scot- land. They will visit their mative city and many other points of in- terest in theé land of the thistle. Building Committee Signs Contract. The building committee of the Ber- lin grange, at its meeting last even- ing, signed the contract for the build- ing of the new grange home which job has been awarded to-the Good- rich Brothers of Berlin. The cost, above that for the foundation, will be $2,500. 5 The lot on Deacon North's..hf, purchased recently from Louis An« derson, has been staked out and, in the course of a few days, members of the grange will break ground for the foundation, which they, them- selves, are to erect. The structure will be completed ana ready for occupancy early in the fall. Charles M. Weldon, the local paint- ing contractor, is chairman of the building committee, which has been very busy of late on the plans. Town in Darkness Last Night. Berlin people had two alternatives Jast evening, to sit up in the dark- ness'and feel their way around or to retire early. Th. majority took the !Iatter and wondered why they were deprived of their“lectric light. Shortly after 9 o'clock all the elec- tric lights in town, both those on the strects and in private residences flick- ered three times and then faded away leaving everything in total darkness. Patrons waited awhile, expecting tha scurrent tc be turned on again, but of | heavy |- were disappointed, for the lights could not be lighted again until 12:30 A M. Manager G. F. Atwater of the New Britain division of the United Electric Light and ° Water company, in explaining the trouble today, saia that a wet limb had fallen over the Berlin-Newington feed wire near Traut and Hine's in New Britain last night, causing a short circuit. He was notified as soon as the trouble oc- curred and the “finders” were sent out. It was midnight before they discovered. the cause of the trouble |and made temporary repairs. Mr. Atwater stated that in weather the wires get pretty well soaked and the insulation is easily burned off in case of shorf circuit, such as can be caused by a wet limb lying across hoth wires. This blows out a circuit breaker in the sub-sta- tion, thus notifying the workmen thau something is wrong. Newington was also in darkness last -night, .as that town is on the circuit with Berlin. Going Home After Twenty Years. After living in this country for more than twenty years, John Cha- ponie, vard foreman at the Berlin Construction company, left yesterday for a six weeks' vacation in his native land, Ttaly. This will be the first time that he will have seen his birth- place in more than a score of years. St. Gabriel's Picnic in Beckley.

He has every reason to be proud of his success as the selection of a new and better location was*not accomplished without overcoming numerous diffi- culties. The installation of the fixtures in the new office was completed today by the Corbin Cabinet Lock company of New Britain, which manufactured the outfit. People who visited the place today were agreeably surprised with the transformation made since yesterday. The equipment is up-to- date in every particular and there is rothing required by a modern office, now lacking. The outfit is made of oak, highly polished, and the lock boxes, which are of the keyless type, are metal. Three styles of mail compartments will be used, two sizes of the ordi- nary box and a drawer suitable for manufacturers and others who receive large amounts of mail The office will have a room for the postmaster, one for the clerks and one for the carriers besides the lobhy which will be given up to the pai- rons. There are special windows for carriers, general delivery, money or- ders, parcel post, etc. The safe, purchased by Mr. Rogers for the use of the office, arrived here today and it is planned to have it in- stalled by night. Unless his plans miscarry, Postmaster Prior said this morning that he would move the books and other government property from the old location tonight and to- morrow the mail will be distributed from the Whiting street office. While the establishment of a city delivery system makes it unnccessary for the patrons to have boxes at the rost office, a number have arranged for private mail compartments and will make personal calls for their let- ters. There are over two hundred boxes in the new office. Prepare for Sidewalks, Engineer Joseph N. McKernan has established a grade on t Main street for cement sidewalks, several of the property owners having noti- fled the selectmen of their intention of making the improvement in front of their places in the near future. F. S. Neal and John Cooke plan to have walks and curbs put in front of their places at once and work will be start- ed in a few days. For over a year the Business and Tmprovement association and the se- lectmen have been working to get walks laid on this street. They have met with several discouraging set backs but the interest shown In the proposition now makes them hopeful of ultimate success. With the ex- ception of a few land owners, who claim they are unable to stand the expense which the Improvement will entail, the taxpayers on the street have agreed to have the walks laid. On Fishing Trip. F. B. Newton and A. H. Condell are spending a two weeks' vacation at the Thousand Islands and vicinity. During their absence they. plan to spend some time fishing in the = St. Lawrence river. Both Mr. Newton and Mr. Condell have spent their vacations in this country for several yehirs. and they are well acquainted im the 'Canadian section. At the Camp Grounds.

The various classes met this morning and made gratifying progress In their studies. The musical and literary recital given this afternoon by the Misses Stamy, Newgeon and Beach was thor- oughly enjoved by the Chautauquans and the entertainers received many compliments on the excellence of their program.
