A petition signed ty over twenty- filve voters was presented to Select- | man Willlam H. Gibney last evening and the Work Is Done | | WILL IMPROVE FAIR GROUNDS ‘Women Have Hair-Pulling Duel—Did Constable Refuse to Arrest Drunk- + en Passenger?—Hard Hearted Par- ent Makes Daughter Happy. Demonstrating the value of dyna- mite as the farmer's friend E. R. Jones, Berlin’s dynamite expert. bet. ter known all over the' country as “Dynamite Jones,” dug a long ditch to ‘drain the southern end of the Fair < grounds today by exploding a half ton of DuPont dynamite. By using this explosive the work which would have take a dozen men a week to do will be completed in a day or so. Z For years the swampy condition at ¢ the south end of the Fair grounds has rendered that portion of the en- closure unfit for any practical pur- poses, but with the water drained off + the space will be converted into a parking place for visiting automobiles and fully 2,000 cars may be accomo- dated there. In digging this drainage ditch, Jones planted the dynamite in a'line from the swamp to the Mattabessett river. It was then exploded by an electric spark and tons of earth were hurled . into the air and the ditch was com- » pleted in the rough. The explosion shot some of the stagnant water about 100 feet into the air, resembling a geyser. It then remained for the men to shovel aside the loose dirt and the work was finished. Over two feet of water has already peen drained into | him to do so. for the purpose of having the select- man call a special town meeting at which the finance committee will ! give its report for the approval of the ‘:a citizens. Mr. Gibney this morning stated that the meeting will probably be called for next Saturday evening. tice of the meeting will be posted five days before it is called. Constable Refused to Arrest Man. It was learned this morning that Constable John Carbo of Kensington refused to arrest an intoxicated man {on a trolley car who was making a nuisance of himself a few days ago when Conductor Gubbins requested The reason the con- ductor says that the constable re- fused to arrest the man was that he was drunk and did not know what he was doing.” According to Conductor Gubbins the man continually provoked the passengers by spitting on the floor. The conductor's attention was called to his conduct and he told him to stop. The man is said to have paid no attention to the command and again deliberately spit on the floor. It was then that the conductor de- manded his arrest and the officer is alleged to have refused. Meet in Head-On Collision. A car belonging to F. W. Schagee of Massachusetts and another ma- chine registered under a New York license B71210, collided head-on early this morning near the home of N. L. Beckley in Beckley Quarter. Mr. Schagee’s machine was badly dam- aged, the front axle being sprung. The New York machine, although somewhat bent up, was able to pro- | ceed on its way. According to wit- nesses no one is to blame as there is a bad curve at this point and neither driver was able to distin- the river. As an example of what can be ac- complished by the judicial uge of the high explosive this ditch will be left there unti]l after the Fair week to be inspected by visitors, arter which drain pipes will be installed and the swamp will be forever drained. As the affair takes place so early in the fall this year the directors have decided to plant down the erst- s while swamp, which covers five or six acres, with an early fall crop so that the land will be useful financially as well as for a parking place for cars. A gang of men has been put to work at the grounds by Secretary Le- land W. Gwatkin constructing new! tie rails for horses. A fence is also being built around the lake at the grounas. Two hundred feet near the baseball wdiamond will be utilizea by spectators so that all can secure an excellent view of the fireworks display every evening from new bleachers. ‘Woman to Appear in Court.

Love Always Finds a Way. After several months of admiration, Pia Secondo, an East Berlin resi- dent employed at R. O. Clark’s brick- vard, broached his love to Fepisia Flango, a pretty. nineteen years old girl, and asked her to become his wife. Fepisia had also been casting longing eyes at her gallant knight and hesitated not for a moment in accepting his proposal. Both set out yesterday afternoon to the town clerk’s office for a marriage license, The pretty Fepisia burst into tears when she was informed by Town Clerk Shaw that her father’s consent was necessary before the much de- | sired license would be issued. Both went to East Berlin, taking i the same road that they had so light- ly passed over a few moments pre- viously. Pasquale Flango, Fepisia's father, was soon located and told by his daughter that he was desired at the town clerk’s office. ‘When the news was broken to him at the office that his consent was de- sired before a marriage license could be issued, Pasquale broke forth in a storm of protests and in an emphatic manner declared that she was too young to wed and his consent could never be secured. Although Fepisia entreated and begged her flinty-heart- ed parent. Pasquale was as stern as A no- | a rock and could not be moved. Then ' little Fepisia also became enraged and tinformed her determined father that {she would wed her beloved in spite of his objections. “We will elope” she cried. | The three left for home without ! the license. After reaching home | Pasquale thought the matter over and it grieved him to think that his only child was unhappy. He called her to his side and asked her to secure the marriage license and he would O. K. {5 |"The couple were married this morn- ing by Rev. J. C. Brennan, pastor of St. Paul's church. !

In going over some o1q papers that | belonged to his father, who at one | time lived in New Britain and died in | that city, Town Clerk Usner recently unearthed a republican ballot of 1884. That was the famous Blaine-Cleveland campaign. The ballot is a curio when compared to those used in thesc days. It is printed on a sheet of pa- per about four by eight inches and a peculiar scriptitype of a style no long- er in vogue was used. At the head of the ticket appear the names of James 'G. Blaine, for president, and John A. Logan, for vice president. On | the state ticket, Henry B. Harrison was candidate for governor and Lor- rin A. Cooke fod lieutenant governor. Valentine B. Chamberlain of = New Britain was candidate for state treas- urer a position now held by his son, Frederick 8. Chamberlain. The late J.

Although the town year closed July 81, a whole month earlier than in past year, in order to give the select- men time to prepare their books for auditing and to give ample time for preparing and printing the annual town report, no advantage has been gained.

The selectmen’s accounts were said to have been ready for more than a week, but because some of the supplemen- books wre not prepared, the board refused to permit the auditors to get to work.
