Arrested For Tony Potoz of this place will be arraigned before Judge George G. Griswold in the Berlin town court to- morrow morning to answer the | charges of committing a breach of the peace and assaulting Daniel Hitchwal Sunday. The warrant was issued by Prosecutor Willlam H. Gib- ney on the complaint of Hitchwai who | claimed he was assaulted hy Potoz. According to the pitiable story as related by Hitchwai Tony took adv: tage of his small stature and gave him a thorough trouncing. He backed up ‘nis allegations by exhibiting a dis- | colored optic and numerous other | bruises about his body. | Hitchwai said that Tony, two other | fellows and himself haa agreed to| have a little “spree,” and each had | Conated a small amount of money for thig purpose, Tony was dispatched to Meriden, where he purchased a keg of heer. The “joy juice” was brought to Tony’s home, where a nerry time was spent indulging in Assault, to ! 1he beverage tc their hearts’ content. Miss Majorie Moore, postmistress at Kensington, whose term is to expire | on December 23 has a very slim chance i of being re-appointed. according to a statement made this morning by Con- gressman P. Davis Oakey of Hartford ~lo a Herald man. Congressman Oakey taid that a few months ago he had re- ceived a letter from Miss Moore in- ! yuiring if she was to be removed from | >ffice or if there was any possibility | of being rechosen. Congressman Oakey wnswered that he is not consulted at all on the appointment but he conjec- lured taat she had a ‘“very poor Jhance.” “Miss Moore,” he said, “nat- urally cannot expect to hold the office lor another term as she was appoint- td under a republican administration and I rather think that she will not be selected again.” . Congressman Oakey said a number of prominent Kensington citizens had approached him and asked him have Miss Moore appointed again to the office. He replied that he had nothing whatever to do in the matter. ¢ Miss Moore has been in charge of the Kensington postoffice for eight vears having assumed her duties in December, 1907. She was recommend- ed to the office by Congressman E. stevens Henry, following the death of her father, R. A. Moore. She was re-appointed to the office at the ex- piration of her term in 1911, The postoffice is of the third class and “pays a salary of $1600. Being endowed with a kecen faculty for business, a pleasing personality, and a thorough knowledge of conduct- ing the postoffice, Miss Moorc has ful- filled her duties to the satisfaction of all. W. W, Fagan of Kenrington, Tnan of the democratic town com- mittee, is being prominently men- tioned to succeed Miss Moore and it is generally conceded that he will re- ceive the nomination. The regime of Postmaster Herry T. Porter of Berlin will expire in July, 1916, and it is not thought that he < will be re-chosen as he as well as Miss Moore was recommended by a repub- lican congressman and therefore can- not expect re-nomination. Mr. Po ter nas held the oZice since 1899, hav- ing succeeded Charles Strickland. Tt is generally thought that A. B. Good- rich will receive the appointment to the Berlin postoffice. He 'has already occupied the office for one term which was during the administration of 5 President Grover Cleveland. The post- office at that time was located in the building which at present is occupied by James W. Woodruff the grocer. Phe chair- to} Alleging that Hitchwai was consum- ing a larger portion of the liquor than he had paid for an argument was | started which Hitchwai claims ended in Tony beating him. | After a complaint was made and a warrant was issued for Tony’s arrest, | Hitchwai was dispatched to round up | his witnesses. It is said while doing this he encountered Tony who at once proceeded to give him another lacing. Hitchwai is a married man and has a wife and five children. Social in Beckley. A social and entertainment will be given this evening in the Beckley hall, Beckley. Singins and dancing will be enjoyed. Music will be fur- nished by the Bacon-Beckley orches- tra. It is expected that the dance will be weil patronized by the younger element. Dunhams Hold Reunion, The fifteenth annuar rcunion of the Dunham clan was held Saturday at Terrace Garden, Meriden. About fifty members of the family were present. feature of the reunion was an ad- dress by William D. Dunham of Nor- ton road, better known as Berlin's silver tongued orator. A high tribute was p; union by President W to the late Martin Dunhzm of thi place, who was the oldest member | and the first president of the assoc tion. Three members = have passed away during the ve! while the family has been augmented fiv births. At the election of officers William | D.

J. W. Denton of this place, Who is to Le prominent in the sessfons. An en- | tire day is to be given up to the ob- servance of the fiftieth anniversary of the missions and there will be inter- esting exercises. September 3 is the day selected for the misstonary con- ference. There will be several promi- nent missionaries on the grounds on that day and reports from foreign lands in which the Advent divines are working in the interests of Christian- 1 ity will be presented. of the Sunday Workers' societies of the various churches in Connecticut as well as delegates from a part of Massachusetts are expected to attend the joint convention of these organ- izations which is scheduted for Sep- temberl. Final plans for the camp meeting are now being made and the man- agers report a very bright outlook. ed colony on the grounds and most of the cot- tages are occupied, Prominent clergymen have accepted invitations to preach during the meeting and the program is expected to be most inter- esting. During the session there will be no services in the Advent Christian church here. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Denton, will leave Saturday for Arena, N. Y., where he will take part in the Catskill camp meeting, but he expects to return for the exercises at the local grounds. His father, Rev. Joshua Denton of Brooklyn, N, Y., a former New Britain pastor, will be here next Sunday to conduct services in the Plainville church. More Auto Cases. Grand Juror S. S. Gwillim hag no- tified 4 number of autolsts to appear in court next Saturday arternoon :how reason why they shouid not fined for violating the laws governing the operation of motor venlcles. They are victims of the energy and strategsy of Constable Marino, who continues his activities against motorists who are careless about the lights on their cars. One of the cases to come up is that of a New Haven man, who was fined recently for having no tail light on his car. When the man was in court, it j= said he was rather offensive and questioned the right of the authorities to fine him. He did not bring his license to the hearing and gave no satisfaction when questioned regard- Representatives to he i ing it. Justice Condell gave him five days in which to produce the license for re- cording his conviction and when he failed to take advantage of the chance thecourt instructed Grand Juror Gwillim to order his appearance here next Saturday. The accusea will be charged with refusing to show his driver's license. Since he received the notice, the Elm Crty driver has evidently recognized his error as he is now very anxious to present his license to the court. He will be given a chance Saturday. Poverty Social, After the regular meeting of the grange to be held this evening in its hall on Pierce street a poverty social will be held. A committee has.been working on the arrangements for this affair for several days and some surprises are promised. Costumes, appropriate for the session, will be worn by the mem- bers and prizes will ve offered. No Word from Auto Parts Co, According to F. T- Wheeler, presi dent of the Business and Improve- ment association, the directors of the Hartford Auto Parts company: have given no further intimation as to what course they will pursue regarding the proposition made to them to move their plant to Plainville. Ofticers of the company stated last would probably be made by today. Hartford busin men have been working hard to raise the capital required for the erection of a suitable building as quarters for the concern, after it moves from the Colt factory, and it thought here that the directors propose to learn the out- come of their efforts before making a decision. The belief is growing in Plainville that Hartford has been brought lo a | realization of what it will lose if the | factory is moved from the and it believed a satisfactory offer will made to the company. A. C. Ministers Here, Interesting discu is | be ons on scriptural topics featured the meeting of the ministers of the Connecticut and achusetts Advent Chris- tian conference held today at Dun- ham'’s grove.

In shape it is nnl‘ This last figure, it should be added, is not likely to be in error by more than a foot or two and may with some confidence be regarded as final. Greater exactness of determination is scarcely practicable in the case of Mount Rainier, as its highest summit consists actually of a mound of snow the height of which naturally varies somewhat with the seasons and from year to year. This crowning snow mound, which was once supposed to pe the highest point in the United States, still bears westerly winds. Six great glaciers originate at the very summit. They are the Nivquelly the Ingraham, the Emmons, the Win- throp, the Tahoma, and the Kautz Glaciers. But many of great size and stateliness are born of the snows in rock packets or cirques—ice-sculp- tered bowls of great dimensions and ever-increasing depth—from which they merge into the glistening armor of the huge volcano. The most dis- tinguished of these aie th= Cowlitz, the Paradise, the Frying Pan, the Carbon, the Russ the North and South Mowich, the Puyaliup and the Pyramid Glaciers.
