MARRIES HS FORMER CLASSMATE Rev. Watson Woodruff Performs Cere- mony at Wedding of Dr. Sheldon and iss Pitkin of South Windsor— Celebrate Wedding Anniversary. It is improbable that the experi- ment with a brick roadway, sueh as | wag suggested to the state highway department by local brick manufac- swrers, will be tried in this town, nothing having been heard from/the brick makers regarding the matter gince last year. Furthermore, it is understood, that Worthington ridge will not assume the beautiful aspect which the highway authorities were Wwont to depict to the residents last season when complaints concerning thg deplorable condition of the road- | way were thickest. About a week ago the much-mooted improvement to that part of the state highway extending through the cen- ter of the Worthington district was made. It consisted of the filling in of almost unsightly holes and other depressions in the roadway with a | The highway department has agreed to oll the road as soon as possible. That this is a long-felt want need not be said. A glance at the inch or two of real estate on the verandas of the residences along the ‘“street” will con- virce the most skeptical about that. The brick roadway, to which refer-[ ence was made above, was suggested to the highway commissioner early last season, the proposition of the brick men being to supply all (he[ brick necessary for a certain stretch of roadway if it were built according to their specifications. The idea of the briek dealers was to prove the su- periority of brick roads to those made | of Warrenite. A similar experiment was tried near Winsted last year but | was not regarded as a success, which act was probably responsible for the fact that the agitation has been | drepped. | Celebrate Wedding Anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Harry N. | of Farmington road celebrateu the | ifteenth anniversary or their wed- | ding last evening at their home by | | entertaining a large number of thew friends. A buffet lunch was served, whist was played and a very sociable evening was spent. Mrs. McLegan and Mrs. Stiquel won the first and second ladies’ prize, respectively. Mr. Person captured the gentleman's first prize and Mr. McLegan won the sec- | ond. The consolation prizes were | awarded to Miss Julia Stiquel and | W. Copeland. | Mr. and Mrs. Chapman were mar |ried in Middletown April 2§, 1900, by Rev. Champion Achison at the | Holy Trinity. church, Middletown. Chapman | Marries Former Classmate. | | Rev. Watson Woodruff of Lynn, | Mass.,, who huas been visiting his par- en Mr. and Mr James Woodruff, of this place last evening tied the | nuptial knot for Miss Marion Pitkin {and Dr. Arthur Sheldon Grant bt South Windsor, Conn. The ceremony | was performed at 7:30 o'clc in the composition of small stone and tar, thus rendering the surface of the roadway more regular than it has been for a long period. However, with the hundreds of automobiles, both heavy’ and light, passing over the roadway daily, some of them at a very excessive speed, it stands to reason that the worn roadbed must suffer deterforation. Already, in fact, a f®W of the very familiar holes are Leginning to reappear. “Eve cloud has a silver lining,” however, and even this is not an ex- eption. Although the local automo- lbilists must be subjected to being sunced about in their cars as they pass down the “ridge,”” they will at leamt have the privilege of breathing -stless air, or the nearest thing to it.

Baldwin, the Kensington coal man, has been add- led to the list of chicken thief vic- |tims. A visit to Mr. Baldwin's hen- | neries was made some time last I | day night and fourteen White L | horns were stolen The theft v | not reported to Selectman Gibney | til this morning. There is marked similarity between the raid on Mr. Baldwin's coop and | | that made on Charles H. Miller's Tuesday night. In both cases not the | slightest clue was left by the intrud- er. What puzzles Mr. Baldwin is that he had twenty-two hens in the house from which the hens were taken and the thief very generously left eight, | taking fourteen. Why he did not take the other eight cannot be figured out | by Mr. Baldwin. The same was the case with Mr, Miller when the chick- en thief picked out five Rhode Is- land reds and did not touch thirteen | others which were in the coop.. Pre- | cautions are being taken by the farm- ers in this viginity to carefully bar | their hennerids ¢ “stitch in time saves nine.”” Books Turned Over. Selectman William H. Gibney, N. W.

Hereafter when the motorman turns off the lights at the cutouts where switches are located it is necessary for the conductor to accompany him. The motorman cannot turn the lights out until ordered to do so by the conductor. ; This new law places® the blame upon the shoulders of the conductor as well as the motorman in case of an accident.

Smith in the court of common pleas concerning the suit of Frank and Matilda Lord against the estate of the late Patrick Coughlin. The case came up for trial yesterday and while many of the wit- nesses were heard it was necessary to continue it to today for the purpose of getting additional testimony and giv- ing the attorneys an opportunity to argue the points of law invalved. Mrs. Lord seeks to recover $867.50 while her husband wants to diminish the value of the estate by $170.40. Their claims are for services which they allege they rendered the eccen- tric old bachelor for several years before his death and for which they were never compensated. They claim they cared for his property, furn ed him with food, did his washing and also looked after him in many other ways. In return for their work, the plaintiffs told the court Coughlin had | promised to leave certain real estate to Mrs. Lord when he lied. The’old man failed to make a will, however, and his estate, which is valued at about $55,000, is to be divid- ed among some twenty nieces and nephews. James Cray, ddministrator of the estate, disallowed the claims of the plaintiffs, the suit resulting. Judge W. J. Malone and Attorney Newell Jennings represented Lord and his wife, while Judge W. T,. Canty is looking after the interests of the estate. Close Evening Schools. That the evening schools, introduced here a few months ago, will be brought to a close in the near future, probably next week, is the opinion of at least one member of the school committee and when that body meets again it is likely that action towards this end will be taken. Most of the night schools throughout the state closed before Kaster, but as Plain- ville was late in getting started the term had to be lengthened. While the attendance come up the voters when the matter of estab- lishing the school came up for con- sideration, members of the school board declare that the plans worked out successfully and they are well satisfied with the results obtained. The pupils registered have attended the sessions regularly ana seemingly in the did not work. The attitude of the school commit- teemen would indicate tnar the school will be continued next vear. Work on Road Finished. The building of the new highway in Westwood park has been completed and the road is now open for travel. The force of men employed by the lectmen, to do the work has fin ite task and there remains only little grading to be attenaed to, While the highway is but a crude to the figures presented to | road at best it will answer the re- quirements of the district for some time to come. The selectmen had the 1 work done as cheaply as possible, de- | voting their efforts simply to opening up a way for travel and ignoring the appearance of the street. | Railroad Closes Passway. | Residents of the district near the | freight station, known as “The Valley” are incensed over the actlon of repre- sentatives in closing to the public the pussway used for years as a means of entering and leaving the section.
