Targe Audience Hears Lecture, The lecture on “Rome” delivered by Rev. Dr. Anderson of Hartford was much enjoyed by a 'large audience which filled the St, Paul's parish hall last night., Dr. Anderson was thor- oughly acquainted with his subject and his lecture proved to be one of great interest. He has spent six years in Rome and was especially qualified to speak on this subject. Stereopticon views were thrown on- the screen. One of the many scenes, that were shown was the famous Coloseum of Rome. This old archi- tectural building, once famous as a place of amusement, is now practic- ally a mass of ruins. It had a seat- ing capacity of 90,000, It took 12,000 tc erect this remarkable structure. Nc roof covered the building and in time of stormy weather a huge can- vas was spread over its top. The flipping .of the canvass was said to [ have been. deafening. Here many gladiators combated for the amuse- ment of the nobles and here the blood of many Christians was shed, A personal anecdote told by Dr. An- cderson while visiting this structure proved to be very interesting. A party of tourists were inspecting the Coloseum and its history was being explained by the guide. One of the party had strayed from the party and was making a minute sthdy of the building. He returned when the lec- ture was terminated and remarked to Dr. Anderson, who was standing close by, “This will be a wonderful build- fng when it is completed.” To diversify the program a solo was rendered by Miss Dorothy Trehy in |a very capable manner. Although but a little lady, she hag a sweet so- prano voice and sang the following songs: “Where Is My Mamma” and “When You Wore 2 Tulip.” She was | accompanied by her who played the piano. Funeral of M. Greco. The funeral of Marzio Greco who ;df(‘d Friday night at the Hartford San- atorlum, Newington of tuberculos was held this morning. Services were heid at the St. Paul's church and burial was in § Mary’'s ceme- tery, New Britain. Rev. J. C. Bren- nan officiated. Greca was about 18 vears of age and was well known in | Kensington. He was employed at the Paper Goods factory. Congregational Church News. There will be a meeting in the Blue Hills neighborhood at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Neil Johnson, Wednes- day evening.

Members of the committee elated over the company's decision, as they believe it to be a complete victory for the property owners they represented. The committee had de- cided to make no concessions and had informed Attorney Pierce that suic would be were settled in full. The damages were asked for on the estimates of the committee as to the value of the different trees killed, the decision of the superior court on the five suits brought in connec- | tion with the case a year ago, serv- ing as a basis for calculation. The report was then submitted to each property owner concerned. Some of them at first protested against sign- ing them as they believed they were entitled tg a larger amount than the committee had named, but after the conditions were explained all agreed to stand back of the report. The value of the trees, as estimated by the committee, varied from $50 to $100 each, accarding to size and location. This amount, the commit. | tee claims, agrees with that allowed | by the superior court to John B.| Minor, F. S. Neal, F. B. Newton, A.| H. Candell and A. H. Dresser for the trees they lost. This quintet was | selected by the property owners’ com- | mitee to test the validity of the claims. | The amount awarded to them was $1,- | 300, which is perhaps slightly in ex-| cess of what other property owners will receive, figuring on the number of trees lost. The committee which made the in- vestigation and togk the matter be- fore the company was made up of A. H. Condell, J. B. Minor and F. B. Newtaon, After the property owners decided to pool their interests. a few of those interested withdrew from the combi- nation and it is understoad that ar- rangements have also bheen made to settle their claims through their re- spective attorneys. The company has not vet made any announcement concerning its probable action ori the claims of the town. The selectmen have presented a bill for the expense incurred in removing the stumps of the dead tres and has also rtained Judge Henney to make a claim for the loss sustained, by the town because of the leakage. It is the selectmen’s contention that the killing of the trees impaired the appearance of the streets and also removed a valuahle protection from the high- ways and they want a monetary set- Tt is believed that the company will make an effort to keep this case out of court and there is a likelihood that a settlement will be made without re- sorting to litigation. The extension of the gas mains to Plainville has proven very expensive to the tramway company and it will be years before the system here will show any profit. When the pipes were laid the joints were sealed with cement instead of lead and as a consequence the gas escaped, contaminating the soil and killing the trees.

The youngster irraigned in court urday morning and Justice Gondell rcserved dacision until he could investigate his story. A talk with the hoy's father convinced him that the youth had been lying and he sentenced him to the reform school.
