The latter retty freely also and when B ealled him a “Pollack,” he resented. L wardy war ensued and a hot dis- cussion of the relative value of the Russian and German armies was un- der consideration when Beckman hit his opponent in the nose. When Smith retaliated, Beckman picked up a bottle and struck him g vicious blow on the head with a drunkenness: who is employed at the cafe He was well at about a laborer Carbo, en- imbibed floor under table. At this juncture, sonstable Enrico Polo, who had been ummoned by the bartender, Peter jeorge, appcared on the scene and, at the sight of him, Beckman fled through the backroom and out into lthe backyard. The constable fol- flowed and succeeded in bringing him ack to the bar room. Beckman Bolts. Matt Brown, one of George H. Baldwin's teamsters, offered to assist the officer in escorting the prisoners to the lockup. The party of four [ waw just about to board a trolley car at the switch when Beckman broke away from Constable Polo and made | e dash for liberty. Running blindly into the alleyway between the Ken- pington House and Lyons’ barber shop,| he collided with a wire fence _with guch force that he was thrown back {o the ground. The officer was fupgn him before he could get up. He r&d handcuffs from Officer William iRitchle and applied them to his wary ‘prisoner to make sure that he would hot ke a second getaway. ' George, Matt Brown and Con- ckman | it, | following up by throwing him to the | stable Polo were the only witnesses called in the trial this morning. When, given an opportunity to state their versions of the affair, the prisoners told conflicting stories. Beckmain denied that he struck his opponent with a bottle. Asked by Prosecutor Gibney as to how he sustained a deep cut in his right hand, he replied that he fell on the back stairs and cut his hand on a broken whiskey bottle. “How did Smith get that cut on his head?” queried the prosecutor. | “Did he fall on the steps,-too?” Beck- | man sald he didn’t know, but ventured that he bumped his head on the edge of a table as he fell. Constable Polo testified blood was flowing freely from the wound on Smith's head and the cut on Beckman's hand when he arrested | them. 1In his opinion there was no doubt but what they were inflicted by the glass from the bottle Beckman | wielded. Together with the obligations to-the court were $10.95 and Beckman's $15.95.

The shafts were broken and other minor damage done to the vehicle. Jerry tried to get the horse back on | his feet again but was meeting with no success until Officer Ritchie ana William Lyons chanced along. With their assistance, he managed to get the equine up. The damage to the wagon was such that the horse could not be hitched to it and it was neces-~ sary for Jerry to leave the vehicle at the Kilby House and use a wheelbar- row to convey to his home four pigs which werc in the wagon.

Expressions of appreciation, when any particular piece of work has been faithfully accomplished, are always in order but are all too infrequently uttered in our busy and prosaic life. Rev. Samuel A. Fiske, pastor of tac Berlin Congregational church, has re- ceived a most courteous and refresh- Ing letter from Secretary Paton of the American Board in which, among other things he says: “Please tell the people of vyour church that their gift has been re- ceived and that the officers of the board ‘are exceedingly grateful for this help. These are serious times for us and it brings much encourage- ment to ‘have churches like yours stand up for foreign work and showing interest in such practical ways. T note with satisfaction that your offer- ing last year went ahead of other vears by quite a sum. May a great blessing come to you in your local work in return for this blessing which you are sending far away The sentiment among the members of the church is that this simple human word of appreciation is more potent than all the eloquent appeals for support from the officers. May Cancel Appointment. Although he spoke under great dif- ficulties on account of a very serious cold whaich was accompanied by a hoarseness in his voice, Rev. Samuel A, Tiske delivered a sermon at the Berlin church yesterday morning on the subject “Taking Heed to Onme’s Self.” . In the absence of Rev. Edwin M. Pickop, E. E. Agard of New Britain conducted the morning and Rev. Carleton Hazen the evening service at the Kensington Methodist church. Mr. Hazen preacaed in his own pul- pit in the morning. Mr. Fiske may find it necessary to cancel an appointment to give an ad- dress on “Work for Boys,” which he has been asked to give at a meet- ing of the Hartford South association of Congregational ministers at the New Britain tomor- row. The pastor will not be able to take part in the grange debate tomorrow cvening. Church Entertainment, Following the supper to be given by | 8t.

Thursten Fractures Thigh Whea He Falls on Walk. CONDITION CAUSES GREAT ANX'ETY Physicilans Hold Consultation and Advise His Removal to Hospital— Local Tederal Wireless Operator Gets License—Drunk Fined, Suffering from a badly fractured thigh, Rev. Gilbert B. Thurston, pas- tor of the Methodist church, was to- day admitted to St. Francis’ hospital in Hartford, where reports of his condition caused his friends consider- able apprehension. Mr. Thurston has been in poor health for some time and his weakness will make his flght against his injuries extremely hard. The minister’s thigh was broken Saturday afternoon when he fell on the ice coated sidewalk on Canal street. He was suffering great pain when picked up and was taken to his home on Broad street on a sled. Dr. C. W. Moody was called and he gave first aid treatment, subsequently call- ing in Dr. Root of Hartford for a consultation. The latter advised the clergyman’s removal to the hospital. The townspeople are genuinely svmpathetic over Mr. Thurston’s mis- fortune. He has been here but a year. Nevertheless he has made a number of friends who are anxious about his condition. This is particularly true of the members of the Methodist church. They hold the pastor in high esteem and recently extended a unanimous call to him to remain here another year. Rev. L. F. Baker, a former pastor of the Advent Christian church, who is now an evangelist, making his home in Plainville, conducted the morning service in the Methodist church yesterday. In the evening the service was omitted on account of Mr. Thurston’s inability to be present. While the pastor is in the hospital District Superintendent Rev. E. A. Dent of New Haven, will arrange to have ministers in neighboring towns conduct the services here. Fine for Forestville Drunk. Justice A, H. Condell continues to mete out severe punishment to drunks who cause disturbances at the center and the local court is fast ac- quiring a reputation for severity. This morning Pasquale Merta of Forestville, was arraigned on the charges of intoxication and breach of the peace and was fined $7 and costs, amounting to $16.20. Friends came to his rescue and the assessment was paid. Merta was arrested Saturday night by Patrolman Philip Marino. The officer found him near the railroad crossing creating a disturbance. He attempted to get him aboard a Bristol bound trolley but the man was in- clined to show fight and he was locked up. In court this morning he admitted his guilt. Grand Juror S. S. Gwillim appeared for the state and on his recommenda- her mail this morning a large cocoa- nut from a friend in Florida.

For Constipation The progress of modern medical science is, perhaps, no more force- fully evident than in the simplify- ing of many of the old-time rem- edies of past generations. For in- stance, the harsh cathartics and violent purgatives used by our forefathers to rclieve constipation are now known to be not only un- necessary but really harmful. Con- stipation can he more effectively relieved without the discomfort and pain these old-time remedles occasion. A combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Cald- well’s Syrup Pepsin is most effect- ive, yet mild and pleasant. It is ab- solutely free from opiates and nar- cotics and equally as desirable a remedy for the tiniest babe as for rugged manhood. A free trial bot- tle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

Grant gave a most in- teresting. and instructive sermon yes- terday morning in the Congregational church. *“The Honor of Peace,” his subject, gave him a foundation for a treatise on peace among the nations and also to discuss one hundred years of tranquility between this country and England. He spoke at length on the anniversary of the signing of the treaty at Ghent and called attention to the great good that this document has accomplished. Mr. Grant spoke favorably to dis- armament and expressed the opinion that preparedness for war makes na- tions fight "when under other condi- tions they would find peaceful means of settling their difficulties. At the Hospitals, Mrs. Hattle Raymond of Whiting street, who recently underwent an op- eration at St. Francis' hospital in Hartford, is now well on the road to recovery.
