Moody been | notified of his appointment as medical | j§ examiner in Plainville to succeed Dr. G. Wright, who recently resigned as the coroner’s representative in New Britain and this town. Dr, Moody was advised of his selection | yesterday, Coroner Calhoun having decided to have a special cxaminer for the town. There was no special contest for the appointment, none of the local phy- | siclans making much of an effort to land the birth. The position is not a ‘ lucrative one from a pecuniary stand. | roint. Only a small fee is paid for | each case and as the medical exami- | ner is often greatly inconvenienced by | the duties of the office, it requires a | personal sacrifice to fill the position. | Dr. Moody has been practising | medicine in this town for a great many years. He has the confidence of the townspeople and his selection | for the medical examiner’s place will A@oubtless give entire satisfaction. You Can’t Keep Him Down. While it was generally supposed | that George S. Babgcock’s political death had been accomplished at the recent caucus of the republicans when hi¢ aspirations for office were rudely | jolted, the clerk of the board him- self is responsible for the announce- ment that his funeral must again be | postponed. George has decided to enter the fleld on an independent ticket. He has | nominated himself for first selectman | and he will appear before the voters cn a Babcock ticket. He has ar- ranged to have a number of circulars | printed in which it will be explained | to the voters ‘‘that as there is consid- | erable dissatisfaction with both W. J.‘ Johnson and W. C. Hart as candi- dates for selectman, you can vote for ME by inserting my name in the blank column at the right of the ticket.” George admits that he may not be | elected. Nevertheless he expects to poll a good vote as he says many members of both parties have promised to support him. He expects that his entry in the fleld as an inde- “ pendent candidate will hurt Mr. Hart's chances of Winning out. Babcock | claims he has been advised that Hart | intends to put the skigs under him, separating him from his cherished town building, providing of course the former sheriff is elected, The clerk tend to be . decapitated without a struggle and he declares he will be before the voters as a candidate him- self when the election is held. Came For Medicine—Got Drunk. Spencer Rice of Farmington, came to Plainville .last night to get some medicine for his wife.

Rice, who is seventy-two years of age, was picked up by Officer Marino who found him in an intoxicated condition near Central Square. The man had overestimated his capacity and his pedal extremities went back on him, his arrest resulting. Bank Will Pay Tax. Directors of the First National bank have voted to have the carpora- tion pay the state tax on deposits in the savings bank department and as a result the depositors will be ex- empt. The assessment is one-fourth of one per cent. and is.due in Octo- ber. The tax was levied at the last session of the general assembly and the banks were given the preference of paying it themselves or shifting the load to the shoulders of the de- positors. Unless they settle the banks have to file with the assessors a list of the names of their depositors and the amounts which each is credited with. The later action wauld make it necessary for the depositors to pay the tax themselves. The Plainville bank, however, has decided to bear the expense and the money in the savings departments as a result will be exempt from taxation as far as the depositors are con- cerned. The action of the directors will no doubt make a favorable impression on the depositors. It will mean a substantial expense to the bank as there is a large amount on deposit Second Game Of Series. The second game of the series be- tween the Royals and the Federals to determine the baseball champion- ship of the town will be played at Allen’s field Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock.

Transfer Freight Here. In an effort to defeat the efforts of the freight handlers in New Haven to get an increase in wages, the railroad has arranged to have much of the freight heretofore trans- ferred in the Elm City looked after in Plainville. The men in New Ha- ven are out on strike and it is said that the company is having difficulty in getting men to take their places. A gang was brought here from Hartford today to augment the reg- ular force at the freight depot. Ef- forts were also made to employ local young men who worked at the trans- fer platform when Plainville was transfer point a year ago. The Plainville boys, it is understood, re- neged when they learned that they were to do the work of men on strike. The transferring of freight was not done today on a very extensive scale but if the plan meets with suc- cess it is said a larger force will be brought here in a few d Trust Co. Favored. Numerous proxies sent in by stock- holders indicate that men financially interested are favorably impressed with the plan of the directors for changing the First National bank in- to a trust company. Many of the share owners have authorized the di- rectors to vote for them on the propo- sition when it comes up at the meet- ing on September 25th and others have announced their intentian of personally attending the session to en- dorse the suggestion. The directors claim the bank as a trust company will have greater op- portunities to serve local people as it will not be restricted in the loan- ing of money. It will also have a chance to work in channels not per- mitted under the national banking laws and it is thought the change will be of considerable benefit to the in- stitution and the people served by gt 2 Brief Ttems. Postmaster P. J. Prior and son went to Long Island today for a brief | sojourn. Owing to the excessive heat the pu- plls in the local schools were given a half holiday yesterday.
