Beginning on that day they will be obliged to wait only seven minuteg for accommodations as the train which has been leaving at 10:53 A. M. will now wait until 11:04 before departing for Middletown. Other people, who have occasion to travel on the express train which ar- Fives at the Berlin passenger station at 8:55 P. M., and who incidentally, have had occasion to wait one hour ‘and twenty-five minutes for a train to carry them homeward are also pleased. Heretofore the train for Mid- dletown and Intermediate points has left Bérlin only.two minutes before the arrival of this train, which is pa- ronized very largely. The schedule, as posted in the wait- *ing room of the local passenger sta- tion, read as follows: “Train now leaving Berlin, daily except Sundays, at 10:53 A, M., for ! Middletown, will leave at 11:04 A. M. and will be scheduled eleven minutes ¥ late at intermediate points to Middle- »m“n, due 11:30 A. M. ¥ “Train now leaving Berlin, daily except Sundays at 8:53 P. M, for Middletown will leave at 8:58 P M. and will be schasiled five minutes lat- er at intermediate points to Middle- town, due 9:24 P, M. “Train now lea daily except Sunda for Berlin, will leave at 11:09 and ¥ill be scheduled thirteen minutes Jater at intermediate points to Bers lin, due 11:35 A. M.” Mention of this change in schedule will not be included in the summer schedule booklets, which were pub- | Mehed on Jupe 7, but will be printea in the hooklets containing the fall i schedule, which are gotten out in September. While the complaints about hedule have Leen numerous, no pe- tions for improved service have been circulated, as has _been done here on other occasions. Nothing has been done by the rail- road, however, in regard to changing .the running time of the first train to Middletown on Sunday mornings, phich leaves here now at 8:60 the | | Christian Endeavor society of fat his church | Pack o'clock. There has been much com- plaint about this train, as people who own motor boats and keep them at Middletown are unable to reach that city until 9:21, which gives them a late start for a day’s outing. Pastor Coming Home. Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor of the Second ,Congregational church ~at 'Berlin, {a expected home some time this afternoon from Silver Bay, New York, where he has been in atten- dance at the -Missionary Education Conference as a delegate from the his church. Mr, Fiske has been absent from Berlin sinmce last Friday, having left .immediately -after the funeral. of. Miss Catherine M. which he officiated.

Herbery Macy of Newifigton, on August 2; by Professor E. and by Rev. Samuel W, Raymond ot Hartford on: August 16, Halmer's Bridge Repaired. The town repair gang yesterday completed repairs at Hallmer’s bridge near the old John. Hall place, which wag damaged Wednesday when a ten ton auto truck, heavily ‘loaded, dropped a distance of three feet into a foot of water, when the %&nking gave way. Under the personal supervision of First Selectman William H. Gibney, the workmen tore .away the old wooden structure, which was built many years ago for light traffig, and constructed a solid concrete bridge over thirty inch twin tile. The cost to the town will be in the neighbor- hood of $100. No decision has as yet been made in regard to making repairs to the Paper Goods bridge, which was in- spected and found rather weak about a week ago by an engineer of the Berlin Construction company. The matter will be discussed at the next meeting of the board of selectmen. The board may recommend the erec- tion of a new bridge at this point, de- cision to be made at the annual town meeting in the fall. North, at his fefnily will To Transform Barn Into House. . R. Jones, the local dynamite expert, is contemplating moving the cld barn which stands at the rear of his property on Worthington ridge, cut to the building line on Deacon North's hill, then having the building remodeled and transformed into a modern dwelling house. Tourists Heard From. Several Kensington people have re- ceived postal cards from the Misses Catherine and Adele Murray and Adele Bassett, who are in Queenstown, Ireland. They are enjoying the best of health. They will travel extensive- Iy in England, Ireland and Scotland, after which they will return to this ccuntry early in August. The young ladies left Kensington June 30. Ze Goes to Correct Destination. After doing some detective work that would make the Pinkerton De- tective bureau look sick, Postmaster Henry L. Porter succceded yesterday ir. delivering a package which had been addressed incorrectly, to the party for whom it was intended. Yesterday morning the postmaster received a communication from the Berlin Brick company, informing him that a package had been received at their office which was evidently in- tended for another. Mr. Porter denned his hat and coat, left his as- sistant, Miss Olive Shaw, in charge of the post office, and went to the Berlin York's | E. Nourse, on August 9,-| Brick' company offices. - He was shown the package, which had been sent to the Berlin Brick company by a concern in Hartford, and decided, after being told that no one there had ordered the goods it contained, that it had been - addressed incorrectly. Subsequently, he took it along with him to the post office and had just written the Hartford concern to send lhim postage for its return, when G. A. Pickett walked into the office. No, sooner 'did Mr, Porter broach upon the subject foremost in his mind than Mr, Pickett concluded that the package in question belonged to him. and had been missent. Examination of the contents proved that he was right and the package was turned over to him without further ado. It | left Hartford July 10. Benson Leaves Hospital. Victor Beénson of East Berlin, one of the two motoreyclists who were injured in ' Cromwell about three weeks ago in a’ collision with an au- tomobile driven by Dr. A. M. Mec- Hugh of Middletown, left the Middle- sex hospital Thursday and returned to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Swain Benson. ' Bénson sus- tained a compound fracture of one of his legs' in additlon to other in- juries, and it is probable that he will be confined to his home for many more weeks. Mr. Benson's companion, who was with him on the motorcycle at the time of the accident, and was also injured, ‘left the hospital some time ago, as his injuries were not so se- vere. The smash, in which the young men were injured, occurred Sunday afternoon, June 27, at the corner in Cromwell, where the road to East Berlin branches off from the Hart- ford turnpike.

Another increase has been made in the capital stock’ of the Connecticut Quarries company of this cording to notice filed y ternoon with the secretary of state by the board of directors. This time the capital takes a jump from $550,- 000 to $575,000 and the number of shares of common stock is increased from 2,00 to 2,250, the preferred remaining unchanged. The par value of the stock is $100. The company is now one of the trap rock corporations in this section of the country. It con- trols quarries in several parts of the state in addition to its plant at White Oak, and supplies much of - the crushed stone used in highway con- struction throughout Connecticut. It also has big contracts with the rail- roads and its several crushers are in- variably operating to their capacity. The White Oak plant has been a remarkable success and for years owners of stock in the company have been drawing substantial dividends from the profits derived from its operation. The company now has nothing to do with the ice business a new cor- poration having been formed recent- 1y to take over this branch, the quar- ries company’s officers devoting their entire attention to the crushers. The directors acting on the in- crease in capital are B. D. Pierce, N. W. Bishop, F. D. Hastings, John W. Cooke, A. S. Lane and James H. Cooke. To Have Tent Services.

Tel. | Panama Pacific International Exposition To Be Fairyland At Night Splendors Of Architecture And Sculpture To Stand Out As Clearly As By Day. The night Panama-Pacific International EXpo- sition at San Francisco in 1916 wfll be very wonderful and beautfful. It will bring out every detail of tho vast exhibit palace. of the great courts amd gardens. of the sculptere fi have been physicaily impossible five or six years ago. Instead of millions of red, blue and yellow incandescent lamps being ex- posed to view the palaces. and conrts will be flooded with a pure whice light, a diffused glow not so Lrilliant as dayMght but giving daylight colar effects. Massed batieries soarchlights. hidden upon the roofs .t the exhibit palaces, wil} play upom triumphal arches, upon the courts and gardens and upon quivering prisius and reflectors set above the colonnades of the courts and in the towers. In no part of the exposition will the. fllumination be observed to Dpetter advantage than in the magnilicent South Gardens, which are flanked on the one side by the facades of the exhibit palaces and the huge Tower of Jewels, 435 feet high. and upon the other by a g:eat wall of massed pirk asters. At the east end of the gordens, and shown almost in the centre of the jhotograph ab-ve, is great Festival Hall where strains from a vast organ will fill the grounds with harmony throughout the day and night. A spectacular feature of the lighting will be that given bv the huge bat- teries of searchlights upon the margin of San Francisco harbor. At night the batteries will go through evolutions in color, throwing . huge auroras so far into the Heavens that the Jight will be visible a distance of forty or fifty miles. The site of the exposition extends east and west for a distance of 15,000 feet, almost three miles, and s located just inside the Golden Gate, the famous entrance of San Francisco harber from the Pacific Ocean.
