Because of the overflow at the rail- Toad bridge at the Berlin depot yes- terday, trolley traffic on ithe Berlin- New Britain line was badly tied up.

Again this year the license question prom- iscs 1o overshadow all issues of the election and it will probably prove the only real contest to be settled. The prohibitionists of Hartford county have decided to concentrate, their efforts in this locality in the fall. They propose to make a deter- mined effort to keep Bristol “dry"” and they have hopes of winning over | both Plainville and Terryville, the two towns which secured a large part of the liquor business from' the neigh- boring city. Meetings have been held at which ministers and others inter- ested in the fight have been in attend- ance.and .plans for the campaizn, while still in embryonic form ,indi- cate that the battle'will be waged with exceptional vigor. Even among the license advocates in Bristol there is a difference of opinion as to the results of the fight to keep that city ‘dry” and there are a large number willing to wager that the saloons will not be reopened for at least another two years. That there are probably as many with views entirely opposite is evidenced from the fact that offers to bet are not permitted to pass. Considerable money it is said, has already been placed with stakeholders and it is ex- pected that the speculation will con- tinue until the election. Last year Plainville managed to keep in the license column, the ‘“‘wets” getting a substantial .majority, con- sidering the work dane by their op- ponents. The prohibitionists de- clare there will be no let-up this year a if the town keeps its saloons, | it will not be the resujt of any negli- gence on the part af the antis. Ter- ryville is in a position similar to that of Plainville and that town is prom- sed a battle roval in the fall. |1t not expected that the paign will open here until next month. The prohibitionists will have prominent temperance advocates here to expound the doctrines, which, if accepted, will make Plainville a sa- loonless town and there will be much ‘“buttonholing” and other quiet work done by the leaders of the! “drys.” The saloonkeepers, of course, will not be idle and an interesting campaign is predicted. Adventists To Meet. Members of the Advent Christian churches of Plainville and vicinity are making preparations for the annual campmeeting which is to open at Dunham’s grove on the Southington road on August 28. The meeting will continue for eight days and min- isters of the Advent denomination from various parts of the state will preach. The program for the sessian has no. as vet been issued. The managers, however, state that'some interesting sessions have been arranged for and they expect a large attendance. i No Personal Injury. Clatming that Olin W. Wetherel of Maple street failed to show that his illness was the result of any personal injury sustained during the time he was employed by the Corbin Cabinet ; Lock company of New Britain, Com- missioner George B. Chandler in his ! formal decision filed yesterday refus- i ed the local’s man's appeal for com- pensation under the employers’ lia- bility act. Since the hearing a few days aga it was expected that an un- favorable decision would be ' given, Commissioner Chandler having inti- mated at the time that he could not grant the appeal. Mr. Wetherel is over seventy years | of age. He had been ill for over a year and he sought compensation from the New Britain factory own- ers, clafming that his sickness was caused by a poisonqus dust which he inhaled while scraping off the walls | of certain departments in the plant. His average earnings were $12.09 a week and he asked for benefits for - several months. Although they admitted that it was possible the aged man's health had been affected by the dust which he inhaled, physicians who testifled at the hearing explalned that the real origin of his illness could not be defin- itely determined. He had a compli- cation of diseases, any one of which might incapacitate him. Give Flowers To Hospital. Blossoms used in & sweet pea con- test held in connection with the ab- servance of Flower Night which was a feature of the Grange meeting Tues- | I | \ J.

There were many handsome bouquets in the con= , test. B. W. Edwards and Miss Ella D. Smith won the prizes for the best entries. W. S. Mason of Farming- ton and J. L. Ahlquist of Plainville acted as judges. Flower games were enjoyed dur- Aing the evening and an interesting: program of an appropriate nature was | given. Miss Lottie M, Beckwith gave a reading on “Millions in Flowers” and/ P. A. Cowles spoke interestingly on raising sweet peag for profit. There was also a piano solo by Miss Lila Daniels and a recitation by Mrs. Mary F. Williams. Did Little Damage. While Plainville people claim that nowhere in this locality was there a heavier rainfall yesterday than right here, the damage done was compar- atively light. The town has but few hills and consequently did not experi- ence wash-outs on highways, a fea- | ture of the havac wrought by the storm which will prove expensive to many other places. Vegetation suffered the only dam- age and the farmers report that the loss will not amount to a great ceal. Corn felt the effects of the storm more than any of the other vegetables and this morning the stalks in several fields were found levelled with the ground. Both the Pequabuck and Quinnipiac rivers were greatly swollen and the meadows in the vicinity of the ! streams were innundated today. Mrs. Cavanaugh Dead. Mrs. Elizabeth Cavanaugh, an old Plainyille resident, died last evening at the New Britain General hospital Wwhere she had been a patient for sev- eral weeks. She had been one of Plainville’s charges in the town home in the Hardware city for the past few years. She was about 80 years of mge. For a number of years the Woman made her home with her son in an old and delapidated house on Neal's Court, the selectmen finally pursuading her to go to the Town home. She is survived by two sons three daughters. The funeral was held this morn- ing from .St. Joseph's church in New Britain. Interment was in the new Catholic cemetery in that city. Brief Items.
