A meet- ing will again: be held in the near sfuture at wheh time a report will be given by the committee on how' for they have been able to interest the Chambers of Commerce ‘and if they ve able abls to interest capitalists. That ‘considerable’ interest has been roused in Berlin :was demonstrated it last evening’s meeting by the large | attendancé. - The concensus of opin- on of vhe public is that a trolley “jine through Kensington would prove to be a marked success.' 3 The New Britain, Kensington and eriden Strest Rallway company is 3 duly organized company under the [\ state statutes and holds a charter for two years. The charter is held ,in trust for ‘the people who are in- terested in the trolley line. The com- pany is prepared to start the proposed -éi:ouey Toute as soon as it is able to cure capital. @ officers of the company are Allen, Moore, president Charles Lewis, treasurer and Frank F anford, secretary, i _ Although New Britain boasts of a pobpulation ‘of over 50,000 and Meri- den has over:35,000 and the distance ibetwéen the two places is but niles it is strAnge that a trojley line s Tiot been constructed between the two places.

Telephone or mail your orders it you proposéd line will extend ' from Franklin square, New Britain through Kensington past the American Paper Goods company, and enter Meriden by the western section of the city. Engineers have made a thorough in- spection of the proposed route of the trolley line and have found that no difficulty would be experienced in laying the tracks. 3 The fact that the line would run past the American Paper Goods plant, where ‘at least 300 employes plod to and/ from work I‘Qpch}d’ " would meet Wwith ' the general inproval of, a large The “1tRé" Woula prove Sreat benefit to Kensington by helping the place to build up. The western section of Meriden, where the line would' enter the Sflver | city, {s one of the most heautiful parts of the city. Still no trolley .line is found. there, New Britain would also benefit to & large extent by the trolley line as the section below the foot -of Arch street which is graduuliy building up, would have the use of the proposed trolley Iine, Considerable difficulty is now ex- perienced by passengers between New Britain and Meriden, It is said that after 7:30 o’clock at night no train is found on' the time schédule between the two cities necessitating a wait of nearly four hours. The next meeting of the commit- tee Is being waited by the local resi- dents with keen interest.’ ‘Will Appear In Court, Frank Santamor], a Kensington Italian, will appear in the town court tomororw = morning before Judge George G.

He showeud up on time but his actions indicated thal he had not recovered from his “jag" and Justice QCandel] instructed Officer Marino to lock him up. His case was adjourned until 10 o'clock tomérrow morning. When Eph’s case was ~alled he in- sisted on making speeches instead of entering a plea. Justice Condell or- but he kept chattering incessantly and the fine for contempt was then dinp«sed.

Before court apened Eph 'Day, lit up like a Hudson river steamboat for night review, rambled into- the town clerk’s office. Walking over to Town Clerk R. C. Usher Le greeted him with “Good morning judge.” Eph evidently believed the town clerk was an officer of the court and after ex- changing greetings he at once got down to business. “What am I arrested for, judge?” “Your good looks, I guess,” Mr. Usher responded. “Well I want to settle out of court. Here's the money,’”’ sald Hph. He then pulled out a rod of bills so large that it almcst required a shae horn to get it from his pocket and handed it over io the venerable Xeeper of the records. Mr. Usher ex- plained that A. H. Condell, who was in the room at the time was the jus- tice to decide on the merits of his case- Day then wanted to seftle with the justice.

Ellis of East Main street, who underwent an operation for ap- pendicitis yesterday, was most satis- factory.

H, Frost and Dr. J. N, Bull, who ordered his immediate removal to the hospital. The operation was performed a short time after his arrival.

ROSENTHAL REFUSES TO TALK OF BECKER'S FIGHT While lawyets for former FPolice Lieutenant Charles A. Becker, sen- tenced to die for the murder of Her- man Rosenthal, are making super- human efforts to save him from the death chair newspaper men who sought an incerview with Mrs, Rosen- thal; widow of the ‘murdered man, have met with little success. Mrs. Rosenthal absolutely refuses to ex- press an opinion. Shortly after the murder Mrs. Rosenthal was very bitter in her denunciation of the for- mer police lieutenant. It is under- stood that Mrs, Rosenthal has pri- vately expressed her sympahy for Mrs. Becker. —— Condell invariably fines autoists in such cases $1 and coets, Foster had been reported by Officer Marino for failing to have the tafl light burning on his‘car on the night of July 10th.

The Russells have been estranged since a short time after their mar- riage, Since their separatfon Mrs. Russell has been to grand jurors in an effort to have her husband forced to support her. The prosecuting authorities took no action at the time as it was ex- | plained that an amicable adjustment of the couple's differences, regarding financial matters, would probably be niade without taking the case into ccurt. Bills previously contracted by Mrs. Russell are being settled by her hus- tand. E It is reported that he has agreed to pay her $7 a week. . Russell is one of the heirs of the late Thomas G. Russell, whose es- tate, valued at over $60,000 is now in process of settlement. Gets Postal Shower, Mrs. Mary E. Morse of Broad street, the oldest member of the Congrega- tional church in point of years of affliation with the congregation, re- ceived a postal card shower last week from many of her friends.

The Chautauquans, who successful- 1y completed the course of study, re- celved their certificates after the im- pressive procession, after which Mrs. Spencer gave her address, using “The Golden Thread for Her Subject.” The phrase she selected from John Eva- lin's essay on “Friendship.” Her en- tire talk was buflt on this passage from ‘the Evalin paper: “There is in friendship something of all relations, and something above them all. It is the golden thread that ties the hearts of all the world,” Mrs. Spencer's oration was delivered in brilliant fashion and it made a deep impres- sion on the audience.

Hamlin of Hartford and the chorus which she has been instructing during the as- sembly.
