CEMETERY ASSOLIATION T0. MEET Will Consider Plans for Improving ;‘rounds-l)octor Says That Miss $mith Will Recover—Rev. Carleton .Hazen Writes Home—Briefs. The theft from the Tallard Brick company last night of an " endless helt valued at $400 was the third crime of its kind which has been com: mifted in Berlin within a period of three months and in which more thdp $1,000 was lost. Thae police are p®™led as to what the motive of the thieves may be. Prosecuting Attorney William H. Glfihey was notified early this morn- lng of the theft at Tallard’s Ac- companied by Deputy Sheru’t James Clark, he went over to the brickyard to nvestigate. It was found that the’window of the power house had been smashed by the ¢hieves in their endeavir to gain entrance. After | slipping the belt, which was twenty inches wide and sixty feet long, from the dynamo, they crossed the rail- T tracks and, ‘leaping a fence, jmade away across lots. The officers ‘werg able to follow their footsteps as far.ns to the fence and they found thegimpression of the colled belt on the 'other side of the structure, where the thives evidently dropped it before zetting over themselves. It is esti- mateq that the welt weighed in the neignborhod of 300 pounds. About a week ago, someone broke Into' the engine house at the brick- yard and stole a smaller and less valugble belt, gaining entrance by forcing a padlock. Mr. Tallard is determined to run down the thieves hnd ' he stated this morning that he uld ask to have state police put on neip trail. Early in Jn.nuarv Stilos d Reyn- plds’ power house was entcr ¢ and a piece several feet long cut from their end! bit, ruining it competely. The oss ‘was estimated at about $300. A short time later the engine house at the Merwin Brick company's yards was entered and a plece cut out of an endless belt there, which cost aboug, $400. Prosecutor Gibney said this morn- ng that he was inclined to think the l.mge was done by some party that s '.ry]ng to put the brickyards out of business. He based his opinion on he fact that, after they Hhave been put, ?he endless belts have very little alis, The leather of which they are and are guarding their property very closely. Cemetery Association to Mm A special meeting of the . Souta Cemetery association will be held. to- morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock on the cemetery grounds in Kensington. As business of importance is to be tran- sacted, it is hoped that everybody in- terested will attend. Last fall, ex-Senator. Claude W. Stevens, Frederick H. Norton and Frank Hutchinson, were appointed a committee of three- to logk into the matter of improving the grounds, which, in the last several years, have become rather run-down -and over- grown with weeds and tall grass. Mr. Hutchinson has succeeded in pledg- | ing several people to contribute tow- ards a sum to be expended for im- provement work and now the com. mittee wants to meet all the mem- bers of the association and ascertain just what action they wish to take. High Mass for Michael Fox, Requiem high mass will be cele- brated at St. Paul's church in Ken- singtan tontorrow morning at 8 o’clock for the late Michael Fox, the nonagenarian, who died suddenly at the town farm Wednesday night. S. of V. to Give Danoce. At a meeting of the Berlin Sons of Veterans’ association held last even- |ing at the home of Comrade Alvin Bunnell, Hubert H. Damon, chairman of the committee which is arrang- ing methods for raising funds for the engaging of a band on Decoration day, made his report. Tentative plans were made for an old-fashioned dance to be' given in the town hall in the near future, probably April 26. * Judge Alling’s Birthday. Tomorrow Judge Willard A. Al- ling of Kensington will observe the passing of exactly three-score years since his birth. He was bhorn in Kensington, near his present resi. dence, March 27, 1855. His early education was received in Berlin and supplemented by a course in the schools of New Britain. Returning to Berlin,' he remained with his father two years, then took a special course at the carriage-makers trade with well-known carriage makers of Plain- ville, remaining there about two years. Mr. Alling soon took charge | of his father’s carriage shops, and on his own account, engaged in the manufacture of wagons, which he con- tinued for about twenty years, be- coming quite well-to_.do and retiring in 1893. Since that time, he has been engaged in the real estate busi- ness and in the management .of his several properties in Berlin, Kensing- ton and New Britain. Mr. Alling married December 1877, Harriet Elizabeth Upson, the daughter of Isaac and EI beth Dru- silla (Allyn) Upson. To them were born the rollowing children: Benja- min Willard, the prominent New Britain lawyer; George Baldwin, Mar- shall Louis; one son that died at the age of seven months; Lulah Eliza- beth, who'is now Mrs. Harold Upson; Lauretta. Delia, a student at Welles- ley college and Esther. In polities Mr. Alling is a repub- lican. He has represented his town at various congressional, county and probate conventions, and has held various other town offices, such as member of the republican town com- mittee, town auditor and president of i iy too pliable to be used for oles. officials of other brickyards in have taken warning since the ries at Stiles and Reynolds’, n's and Tallard’s were reported the West Lane Cemetery assaciation. He was judge of the town court for many years, being succeeded hy Judge George G. Griswold some time ago. He was enrolled upon the books of the Berlin srange many years ago and served as secretary of the or- ganization for two years. He is an attendant 'at the Kensington Congre- gational church, X Miss Smith’s Condition. Dr. Roger M. Griswold said this noon that the general condition of Miss Laura Smith who was seriously injured in a runaway accident Sun- day afternoon, is rather improved. *'It is safe to say that she is going to get well,” said the doctor. The voung lady is not fully, rational yvet but she is re- gaining her faculties as steadily as can be expected; N She does not realize what has oc- cured and in speaking to one of the members of her family last evening, remarked wearily, that she had then been ill in bed five weeks and that she felt no better than she did at the beginning of that period. Mrs: Hazen received a letter this morning from Rev. Carleton Hazen, the pastor of the Kensington Con- gregational church, who had charge of the body of Mrs. Webster on the trip to her late home in Eden, Vermont, which she left a week ago today. In his words, the people of Eden were “‘a sorrowful crowd’ when they viewed her remains -at the funeral yesterday. “It was very evident,” he writes, “‘that she was loved generally about the town and’ was a leader in the church work there.” After the services, Rev. Mr. Hazen, went to Johnson, Vermont, where one of his brother’s resides. He will return to Kensington about 9 o'clock tonight of his plans mater- ialize. Miss Elizabeth Rohm, who assisted Miss Smith in the missionary work at Eden last summer, agreed with Mrs. Webster to keep house for her during her visit to. Berlin. The news of her tragic death was a great blow to her. Berlin Briefs. A Lenten service will be held at St. Paul's church at 7:80 o’clock this evening.

The classes will. not meect next week as a result. Members of the school committee profess to. be satisfied with the suc- cess of the evening ‘schools.. They report that the average attendance since the school was inaugurated has been twenty-four. They consider this high for a town of Plainville's size, under donditions now existing. The pupils are making good progréss in their work and Principal Judd reports that several who were without the least knowledge of English when the school was opened are now able to carry on a conversation in the lan- guage of this country, Bids for Painting. Sealed bids for the painting of the town building have been received by the selectmen and the contract for the work will probably be awarded in a few days. The bids have not as yet been opened and the select- men are ignorant as to the figures con- tained in the contractors’ estimates. To insure the use of first class ma- terial in the work the selectmen themselves purchased the paints and oils necessary for the job and the contractors were asked to bid on the| actual work only. Several impravements are planned at the building. It is proposed to paint both the exterior and interior, touch up the scenery on the stage in the hall and have general repairs made. Good Business at P. O. Despite the general business depres- sion, hard times were not felt to any appreciable extent at the local post- office during the fiscal year, which will close next Wednesday and it is expected that the annual report of FPostmaster P. J. Prior will at least show that the receipts did not fall off materially dquring the last twelve months. Until the report is compiled it will, of course, be impossible to tell the exact amount of business handled at the office, but it is believed that the statement will show the recipts to be in the neighborhood of $11,000, which was approximately the amount received during the fiscal year end- ing March 31, 1914, The business depression, of course, | and sewer district, had seme effect on the mails, but the amount of matter handled, neverthe- less, brought in about as much mone) as was received last vear.
