Brother of E. D. Spelman. Mark F. Spelman of Forestville, who died Saturday at his home in that village, was well known in Plain- ville where news of his passing was received with genuine regret by a number of people. He was a brother of E. D. Spelman of Whiting street and had several friends here. Mr. Spelman was born in East | Granville, Mass., in 1832. His fun- eral was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from his home. Rev. H. S. Still conducted the services. Inter- ment was in Forestville cemetery. Camp Meeting Closes. The annual camp meeting of the Methodists of this section which has been in progress at the camp grounds tor the past ten days was brought to a successful close this morning. The love feast and closing rally, which mark the conclusion of the meetings, ! were held in the auditorium, Rev. Elmer A. Dent of New Haven, the dis- trict superintendent, presiding. There was a large attendance. Dr. Dent gave an interesting talk after the service. He stated that this year's session was the most suc- cessful in the history of the associa- tion and that the organization is now in splendid shape. Financially the association is well off, having a good balance on hand after paying all its debts. Yesterday's session drew a remark- ably large crowd to the grounds and the parking space for autos and teams was taxed to its utmost capacity.

That the man whose dead Body was found on the “Ledges” in Kensington two weeks ago was not Chas. J. Flo- dine of Cromwell, as.Undertaker fohn A. Andrews of New Britain had Leen "led to believe, has been. learned deli- nitely through a ..communication which ex-Senator Charles B. Frisbie of Cromwell, his employer, has ceived from a man named Johnson «in New Britain. Mr. Frisbie has been informed by the Hardware City man that Flodine is receiving treatment in a hospital %t Fultonville, N. Y., having been sent there by Dr. O. C. Smith of Hartford. The Mr. Johnson who wrote to the ex-senator is taking ‘care of Flodine’s little boy in New Eritain, and, hence, is interested in the case. It was thought that the body was that of Flodine because a picture re- -sembling Mrs. Flodine, who died about two years, was found upon the clothes in which it was attired. Since Mrs. Flodine's death, Mr. Flodine has heen boarding his youngest son = : the Johnson home in New Brita The picture, which was found, . very indistinct, owing to the posure, and it was practically ,possible to recognize the features. will be remembered that the when found, had been lying on the “Ledges” for from ten to fourteen m- Tt Flodine and E. but wa is said about was employed at the J. tevens factory in Cromiwell Dot a very steady worker, it went to the factory sffice X weeks ago and drew his *pay. nce that time. he w ot seen, and his friends organized a searching party, a number which came here to interview Underta Andrews at the time when the .lead body was found.

The registrars will again hold forth in the town clerk’s office on the fol- lowing Friday, August 14, the session to begin at 12 M. and continue to 9 P. M. Judge Lets Beer Peddler Go. Officers John Hackett and Harry Chapman apprehended a New Britain beer peddler in Kensington Saturday evening, who refused to show them { his order book which, according to law, must contain orders for every- thing on the wagon. Consequently | they took him in tow and brought {him over to Worthington ridge for |the purpose of consulting with their superior officers. Finding that Prose- cuting Attorney William H. Gibney { was not at home, they called upon i Judge George Griswold. He made 2 i demanad for the order book, it is said. and the peddler showed it to him dily, after which the judge let him proceed on his way to Cromwell.

Suffrage Lecture Tonight. “The Need of the Ballot From the Working Girls’ Standpoint,” is the bject upon which Miss Vera Buck, head of the \WWoman's Self Supporting lcague of New Haven, will lecture this evening at the Berlin Town hall Other speakers will be the Misses MISS VERA BUCK. — vse Gregory of Norwalk, Conn., and Ann Kuttner, a brilliant and scientific scholar of Columbija univer- sity. The former will talk on “Why 1 Believe in Woman’s Suffrage,” and the latter on “Why College People ! Believe in Woman's Suffrage.” After the lectures, enrollment Llanks will be distributed about the audience, so that any woman who de- | sires to join the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association may do so at this |time. The petition, which is to be | sent to Governor Baldwin, asking him | to recognize the right of women to the ballot, will be circulated about the room al it being the wish of the suffragists to add the names of many local people to the thousands of others which have been affixed to the paper heretofore. Suffrage souvenirs will be on sale also. & It will not be possible for Miss Emily Pierson of Cromwell, who is known as the ‘‘peerless organizer,” to | be present at this meeting, as was first planned because she has an engage- ment to deliver a lecture at a meet- ing to be held in Cromwell this even- ing. Tonight e will talk on “The Practical Necessi of the Ballot to Women of Today Miss Ethel Ran- kin, who came here from Colorado i for the special purpose of partaking in the grand tour of the Middlesex county, which the suffrage association s on Thursday, will also speak in remwell, her theme to be “What I Krow, From Personal Experience How Equal Suffrage Works Out.” moon Unicn Service, The congrezations of the Kensington Methodist and Congregational church- {es met in a union service at the Con- gregational church yesterday morning and listened to an interesting sermon | preached by Rev. Dr. C. W. Morrow, professor of theology and college pa: tor at ke university in Tennessec, who formerly held the pastorate of i the local Congregational church. Next Sunday, the congregations wiil 1 hold another union service, in the Methodist church. In this way, the was being shipped in from other parts of the state. Auto trucks loaded with kegs and bottles pass through Plain- ville nearly every day on their way to the neighboring city and it is said that Bristol has been anything but Sdrved The state police have been at work on the complaints for several da: besides the two local men the officers arrested Tony Zimiski and John Hot- ille. Their cases were also continued to Wednesday this morning and they were released under bonds of $500. Attorney Joseph F. Dutton repre- sented Michael in court and Missett was without counsel. According to the prosecution Michael has been run- ring a bottling business under Mi sett’s license and has been delivering beer in Bristol. Mr. Missett denied this morning that he had in any sense violated the law. He has not been selling anything in Bristol, and if residents of that place purchased any liquors from him in Plainville the man delivering the goods to their home was acting as their agent rather than his. He did not consider the case against him sufficiently strong even to warrant his retaining a lawyer. Attorneys offer different opinions as to whether or not the delivery of liquor into a no license town when the sale is actually made elsewhere is a violation of the law and the question will be fought to a finish in the courts, the temperance element de- claring that Bristol must remain “dry” until the two years are up, while the opposition claims the right to have liquor delivered to the homes in any quantity as long as they buy it cut of the ci Sent to Jail. Michael McKosky, a - tramp, was sentenced to jail for- thirty days this morning when he - appeared before Justice E. P. Prior to answer to charges of intoxication and breach of the peace. McKoskey was arrested Saturday by Constable Marino, . who. found him raising a disturbance on Whiting street. An effort was made to save the town the expense of bringing him to trial by ordering him to go else- where after he had sobered up suffi- ciently to permit of his release. He promised to shake Plainville’s dust from his heels but instead of leaving the town he paid a visit to the saloons churches will get along during their pastors’ vacation periods. Ice Cream Social Tonight. Owing to the fact that it would con- flict with the big lawn social to be held by the grange tomorrow even- ing the date of the ice cream social of the Young People's society of the Kensington Congregational church has been changed to this evening, one duy earlier. Funeral of John Fagan. High mass was celebrated by Father J. C. Brennan at St. Paul's church this morning in connection with the funeral of John Fagan, the respected Civil war veteran who passed away early Friday morning. The funeral was very impressive. The pall bearers were Messrs. Stew- art, Penfleld and McMahon of Stan- ley Post, G. A. R. and Christophar Fagan and Lawrence Fagan of New Haven and William Delaney of Crofn- well. John Fagan of New Haven and John Fagan of Kensington were the flower bearers. There was a pro- fusion of large and beautiful floral pieces on the casket as it reposed in the church sanctuary. Interment was in the new Catholic cemetery in New Britain. Berlin Brief Miss Catherine Hol}gan of East Ber- lin is visiting relatives in Southing- ton. A picked nine from New Britain inflicted a 19-6 defeat on the Beckley Rovers yesterday afternoon. Saturday was one of the heaviest days which the Berlin passenger sta- tion employes have experienced this summer. Henry Hoar of New Britain con- ducted the morning service at the East Berlin Methodist church yesterday. Miss Mabel Carlson of Middletown who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. | ¥. Potts of East Berlin, has returned te her home. Miss Winifred Barnes of East Ber- lin left Saturday for a two weeks’ stay at South Vernon, Mass.

Gave One Hit and Lost. Although he allowed but one hit, Pitcher Burroughs of the local base- ball team had to chalk down yes- terday’s game with the Annex of New Britain a defeat, the itors hav- ing scored two runs while the Plain- ville nine failed to send a man around the circuit. The local boy pitched a remarkable game and should have been a winner. The visitors also rlayed exceptionally good ball. Over two hundred people witnessed the game, which was played at Wood- ford’s field, and gave the plavers much encouragement as well as contribut- ing liberally when the hat was passed. Leave for Conference. Rev. F. L. Grant, pastor of the; Congregational church and §. P. Wil- liams left this morning for the Isle of Shoals ‘where they will attend a ten-day conference of the New Eng- land Congregationalists. After the conference Mr. Grant will go with his family to Windsor Hills, where they will spend the balance of the month, returning to Plainville about September 1. May Postpone Homecoming. Local people have received souve- nir cards from Mrs. Jennie Coleman of this place who is visiting with rel- atives in England. Mrs. Coleman had planned to sail for home next week, but it is believed the Iuro- pean conflict which has caused prac- tically a complete suspension of trans- Atlantic traffic will force her to remain on the continent for an indefinite per- jod. John Deuse, who is staying at the home of E. D. Warfield, is worried about his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Deuse of Forestville, who had made z1rangements to sail from England for this country on August 10. They have been visiting friends in Europe and will probably have to delay their homecoming for some time. Brief Items. m Lowry of West Ma:in iting with friends in New- Mrs. Hi street is v ington. L.

The secretary had been advised by bankers who usually serve the state depart- ment abroad in normal times that hotels and steamship companies accept checks issued by authority of the United States government through its diplomatic representatives abroad. This is one of the steps in the de- partment’s plans to afford relief to the thousands of stranded Americans abroad who had found it practically impossible to cash checks or letters of credit because of the financial strin- gency resulting from the European war. Acceptance of the plan would en- able friends of Americans in Europe to deposit funds with the department Lere, the equivalent of which would be issued in “embassy checks” abroad. Letters of credit, travelers’ checks and money orders would be exchanged at American embassies and consulates for “embassy checks.” Belief was that congress would be asked today to make an emergency | appropriation to care for Americans who are without funds. This money would, in part, be used to charter steamships to bring American refu- gees home as was the case in Mex- ico. The administration is prepared t» ship large quantities of gold to Amer- ican embassies for cashing checks for Americans, but it is not believed that this will be necessary. Telegrams continued to pour in on the state department today from per- Farmers and Planters. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) It now seems probable that the millions of bushels of Russian wheat which western Europe consumes each year will be hermetically sealed up in the country of origin from trans- portation by either land or water. Western Europe will now have to look to the United States and to Can- ada for its breadstuffs to an extent that cannot fail to largely increase the prices to be obtained by the farmers of the North American continent who own grain. The first news of the approach of hostilities came to the cotton market at the very hour that news of rains in Texas and Oklahoma gave en- couragement for larger yields of cot- ton than cculd be counted upon be- i fore that moisture arrived. The com- | bined result was a decline in the | price of cotton, and that decline was emphasized by the war developments yesterday. There may possibly be a few days of cessation of buying by cottea dealers and manufacturers of Great Britain, France and Germany, but that will be due to uncertainty and | not because hostilities will curtail the | demand for cotton and cotton fabrice If war'Should be seen to beinevita- ble between the powers of central and eastern Europe there is nothing in that situation that would in any way seriously curtail the sales of cottons. It was sincerely hoped that tho world might be spared the horrible scenes and the ruinous destruection which aftends war, especially a war between such formidable armics as both Russia and Austria will placa in fighting formation, but war or no war, the farmers and planters of the United States are now assured of fine returns from the season's yield of their lands. With war in Europe, however, and our immense surplus ylelds of bread- stuffs and cotton, there would cer- tainly result a large advance in values of these and corresponding augmentation of farmers’ and plant- ers' cash receipts. BILD FAVORABLY REPORTED, Washington, Aug. 3.—Without op- position the house marine committee today favorably reported a bill em- powering the president to suspend certain inhibitions against bringing foreign ships under American regis- ter, and thus prevent the paralyzing of trans-Atlantic shipping. Both democratic and republican leaders it is said are to imsist wuporn recognition for Bridgeport on theis party’s ticket. The name of Colonei Rogers is mentioned as a likely re- nominee for secretary of state on the republican side, while several demo- crats have been suggested for a place on the democratic ticket. Colonel Rogers is out of sympathy with the local King machine and 4s likely to song in this country inquiring as to the safety of their friends and rela- tives in Europe. receive but little consideration on this account.-—Bridgeport Telegram.
