DIES AT HER HOME Popular Yomg Woman Succunbs fo Kitack of Rheomatism » FIRE, PREVENTION DAY OCT. 8 Berlinite Says Town Should Have B e Fire Protection Apparatus— Mentioned for Members of Finance ~Board—Miscellancous Shower. Miss Mary Elizabeth Malley died suddenly at her home in Kensington gt 4:45 yesterday afternoon. Al- though Miss Malley had been afflict- ed' with rheumatism for nineteen pionths, her death was unexpected and ltsgaused a great shock to her family. Death. was caused by an attack of rheumatism of the heart. Miss Malley was born in Kensing- ton in 1886 and was twenty-nine years old. She has been a resident of the town all her life and was very pop- ular among the young people. Miss ~Malley was employed at the Ameri- cxR Paper Goods company until-she became afflicted with the ailment which was responsible for her demise. Bhe made many friends by her engag- Ing manner and personality and a teeling of genuine regret was caused by her death. Miss Malley is survived by her mother, Mrs. John Malley, three brothers, John J.,, Thomas, and Pat- rick, and one sister, Miss Bridget. The fumeral will be held tomorrow morn- Ing at 9 o'clock from St. Paul's Roman Catholic church, Kensington, with Rev. James C. Brennan, the pas- tor, officiating at a solemn requiem high mass. Burial will take place in the new Catholic cemetery in New Britain. Fire Prevention Day. ~ Wepies of Governor Marcus H. Hol- gomb’s proclamation for fire preven- tion day have arrived and are posted in conspicuous places about the town. The paper states that efforts should be made to prevent fire by the dif- ferent towns and tells of the enormous |oss from that cause in the country. The day will be observed in the scheols in a fitting manner. ‘While this is being brought to mind, sjome of the residents think it would be proper for the townspeopi~ to con- sider the advisability of procuring some methods of protection from fir [n July of the present year the insur- pce - underwriters increased their lemiums from sixty cents to $1.00 per. $100, giving the reason that Ber- .mt‘hus absolutely no protection from fre.

Miss Maud Miner was tendered a htful miscellaneous shower at the home of Miss Maud Leclair last night. The affair took the form of a surprise to Miss Miner and she was made the recipient of many beautiful and ap- propriate gifts. After Miss Miner regained her composure the cvening was spent playing games and listening to a Victrola concert. Refreshrt nts was served. Miss Miner will become the bride of Arthur Hughes of Port- land on October 12. For Finance Board. There will be a town meeting in the at 8 o’clock to appeint a board . of finance for the coming year. The law states that the board must begin its work thirty days after election day. There will be three members, one from each district, and already there is much speculation as to who will be chosen. Among the men mentioned for the places this morning were, Colonel Charles M. Jarvis, Major F. L. Wilcox, 8. M. Cowles, H. H. Spooner, ex-Senator Claude Stevens, Dr. R. M. Griswold, Louis Westcott, Fdward Gaines, E. W. Mildrum and George Sullivan. The feeling seems to prevail that a board selected from any of the above-named men would be very efficient. This committee will serve only until rext fall, when the political parties will nominate members at their caucuses. There is no remuneration allowed by the statute for the work and so the matter will have to be at- tended to by public spirited men. The board will commence its work on November 3. Some Horse. Charles Ronketty has an equine of which he is very proud, for only quick work on the part of the animal rrevented his master from being seri- ously injured yesterday afternoon. Mr. Ronketty went to New Britain and got a load of ice. As he was coming down South Main street in New Britain the horse fell and threw his owner from the seat onto the shafts. Mr. Ronketty was non- rlussed and was unable to rezain his | composure. The load began to slide the animal along the ground and the ariver felt himself slipping under the wheels. He was unable to extricate himself and called to the horse to | stop. “Dobbin” cast a backward giance at his master and when he saw | the man’s predicament made a su- preme effort to stop the load. He! dug his hoofs into the ground and backed with such force that he threw Mr. Ronketty back to the seat on the wagon. Mr. Ronketty after a few minutes rest to catch his breath, drove the intelligent beast to his barn, where he suitably rewarded him with oats, hay and other delectables dear te an equine’s heart. Men’s Lyceum Meeting. The annual meeting of the Men's Lyceum of the Kensington Congrega- tional church was held Monday night at the church. Tentative plans for the coming year were considered but nothing definite was done. It is thecught that a program similar to ! that of last year will be carried out.

NEW HAVEN REPUBLICAN. Mayor Rice and Every G. O. P. Can- didate Elected. New Haven, Oct. 6.—Scoring the most sweeping victory that either party has attained in a' municpal election in this city in a great many years, the republicans re-elected May- or Frank J. Rice for a fourth term yvesterday by a plurality of 2,013 and swept into office every candidate on their city ticket by pluralities rang- ing from 150 for Edmund L. Babcock over Tax Collector William Hackett, to that of Mayor Rice recorded over Captain Albert W. Mattoon of 2,013. The board of aldermen which goes in- to office next January will stand twelve republicans to nine democrats giving the former a good working majority. The vote cast was ewidently affected by the rain, being 1,564 smaller than that recorded two years ago. Mayor Rice got a much larger plurality thdn last year, when he piled up a plurality of 1,201. In fact—the plurality rolled up for Mayor Rice stands as a striking contrast to his plurality of 406, won the first time he ran for the office against ex-Mayor James B. Martin. Though Mavor Rice rolled up a larger plurality than two years ago, his total vote fell of 304 from the total of 10,004 which 'he secured in 1913, owing to the smaller vote cast throughout the city at this election. Lane's vote in 1913 was 8,803 and the socialist condidate’s 1,123. Both dem- ocratic and socialist leaders showed a smaller vote yesterday. Aside from the weather conditions which cut down the vote, the elimination of the progressive ticket and the license question served to decrease the total vote this yvear was less by 1,116 than vote this year was less by 1.116 than the vote cast for Lane. By virtue of a tax warrant to me directed and now in my hands, I this day levy said warrant upon cer- tain parcels of land standing in the name of Helen R. Hanmer upon the land records of said town, upon Oc- tober 1, 1913, described as follows: Dwelling house, 2% acres of land more or less south half of lot 144 and lot 145; said tax amounts to $116.10, and on the 1ith day of De- cember 1915, at 2 o'clock, P. M., of said day, T will sell at public auc- tion to the highest bidder, at the public signpost in said town, all or so much of said property will satisfy said tax warrant all charges thercon, Dated at Newington, 1915. as and October 6, CHAS. W. BELDEN, Collector Plainville News ‘MAY OUST MARINO AT TI]W_NMEETING Drive to Be Made Against Police- | man By His Opponents DON'T WANT APPROPRIATION Voters Will Be Asked To Order Se- lectman Against Appointing Regular Patrolman For This Year—Hart ‘Will Accept Moderator’s Decision. Having registered a decision regard- | ing the personnel of the town’s offi- cial family, at the same time settling | the license issue for a year, the at- tention of the voters is now directed | to the adjourned annual meeting to be held in the Town hall next Mon- day night and judging from the | advance *“dope” heard on the streets, the session gives promise of being | very lively. Interest in the meeting indicates that -there will be a large attendance and the debates will doubtless add spice to the gathering. Chief among the subjects to be con- sidered, insofar as general interest is concerned, is the policing of the streets, an issue which is expected to precipitate a struggle between two factions. The results of the plan for looking after lawbreakers and keep- ing the peace which has been in force for the past year will, it is expected, bring about a warm debate, terminat- ing, no doubt, with an effort on the part of Officer Marino’s opponents to have the meeting refuse to make a special appropriation for the appoint- ment of a regular patrolman. With one element there is a disposition to oust the policeman and it was report- ed today that they will attempt to have the meeting give the selectmen to understand that the sentiment of the town is against his reapopint- ment. That the officer has performed his duties fearlessly and conscientiously no one disputes. Nevertheless his ability as a policeman is questioned and the opposition maintains that the streets have not been patrolled in an efficient manner owing to his lack of the qualifications requisite for a cap- able bluecoat. Then, too, the claim has been advanced that the officer has been subservient to the wishes of Justice A. H. Condell, rather than the selectmen who have the authority over him. The officer has clashed with an element that is geeking re- venge and it will no doubt be strong- ly represented at the meeting. The plan of having a regular patrol- man was suggested owing to the in- vasion of thirsty Bristolites, follow- ing the license defeat in that city. With Bristol's return to license it is now argued that a regular policeman is no longer required. There is a faction, however, that is desirious of continuing the plan now in force and they will seek the reappointment of the present incumbent of the patrol- man’s berth. The general impres- sion, however, seems to be that they will be defeated at the meeting. The matter of laying a town tax will also be considered. In all prob- ability the present rate will be con- tinued. y Other questions to be discussed will be the continuing of night school; authorizing the selectmen to make a survey of certain streets in the town and increasing the number of street lights. _ Mother Goose Fair. Placards announcing the Goose fair to be held in the town hall on October 27 and 28, have been distributed by the Woman’s club under whose auspices it will be given. The fair is for the benefit of the li- brary fund and it is expected that it will be well patronized. The ladies in charge of the ar- rangements have been at work on the plans for several weeks and they announce that there will be a num- ber of pleasant surprises in the hall. The fair will be of a Mother Goose character and the club members will wear appropriate costumes. On the afternoon of the 28th it is the intention to have a food and fancy articles sales in connection with the fair. The library fund has reached en- couraging preportions within the past two years and it is believed that the receipts from the coming fair will swell it greatly. Selectmen To Organize. The board of selectmen will hold its first meeting Friday when it will organize for the coming year. The new board has but one old member in Selectman Johnson. His asso- siates, Charles H. Calor and William C. Hart will take the places of Fred- erick S. Spencer and William J. Simp- son. The making of appointments for the year will probably be put off for a week. It is not expected that any changes of consequence will be made. Hart Is Satisfied. ‘While, with other democrats and some republicans as well, William C. Hart clings to the belief that Modera- tor Dresser erred in refusing to count as votes for first selectman “X" marks placed before the names of the candidates on split ballots, the unsuccessful aspirant has given up the idea of taking the case to the courts and the moderator’s decision will be allowed to stand. There is a decided difference of opinion over the ruling of the moderator and even le- gal minds find room for argument in the manner in which the statute cov- ering the point is phrased. Mr. Hart said today that he is deep- Mother ly appreciative of the support given MONITION STRIKERS WINTHEIR DEMANDS President of Gleveie;ld Company Leads Cheer Over Victory Cleveland, O., Oct. 6.—The strike of munition workers at the plant of the Cleveland Automatic Machine com- rany came to an abrupt end here late yesterday when A. L. Garford, president of the company, led a crowd of 900 strikers in cheering his an- nouncement that their demands had been conceded and that they had won the fight. « Garford climbed on a platform out- side the plant and faced the big crowd. The workers a short time be- fore at a special meeting had voted in favor of accepting the offer of the company granting all their déemands except one pertaining to the open shop system. Garford Is Pleased, “I am glad that the differences be- tween you boys and the company have been adjusted,” said Garford. The crowd cheered. “Hurray, let's cheer again, boys,” velled the capitalist as he swung his hat in the air, “I feel like cheering myself."” The men were stirred by this prob- ably unprecedented situation of 900 men being led in a cheer of victory by the man representing the defeated company. Garford Talks to Men. When the tumult had subsided, Garford gave a little talk. “I'm for industrial peace,” he said: “We've got al) the war we can take care of on the other side of the water. I'm glad this trouble is ended. I want to say in behalf of the com- pany and myself that this strike will not leave any sore spots. We are not built that way. You boys did what you thought best in asking for a share of profits accruing from un- usual business conditions. That was proper for I concede the right of every man to do his own thinking and acting.” Garford fairly had to fight his way through the crowd to his automobile to escape the ovation which followed. Conditions of Settlement. The strikers will go back to work . under the following conditions: Reinstatement of fifteen dismissed employes. An open shop but no tion against union men. An eight-hour day under these cquivalent conditions: Permitting employees to quit after eight hours without jeopardizing after places, or continuing to work for a ninth hour at wages of time and one-half, or continuing also to work for a tenth hour at wages of time and three: quarters. Time and three-quarters for work- ing Saturday afternoon. A wage increase of 12 per cent. whenever slack conditions restrict all employees to an eight-hour day. discrimina- him by his friends. Under the cir- cumstances he is satisfied with the run he made and he has cause for rejoicing, the large vote registered for him being a rebuke to Sheriff Dewey for removing him as an officer and a slap at local republicans suspected of conniving to bring about the ex- sheriff’s troubles. « Mr, Hart will serve as a member of the board. Mastro Divorce Hearing. Mrs. Margaret Mastro’s suit for a divorce from her husband, Matthew Mastro, who is serving a sentence in state’s prison for his connection with her abduction a few years ago, will be heard in the superior court at the short calendar session on Friday. The action was brought through Miss Anna Granniss as the young woman's nearest friend. The suit will be uncontested and the granting of a decree is expected. Republican Relief Board. There will be no democratic rep- resentation on the board of relief this year as the result of Monday’s election, the three republican can- didates having secured a majority of votes over their opponents. The board will consist of A. H. Condell, who was elected for three years; I. P. Newell, whose term will run for two years and James Simpson, eleci- ed for a single year. Heretofore the rejief bokrd mem- bers were elected for but one year and the democrats always managed to get a representative on the commit- tee. The general assembly at its last session, however, changed the law and it is now possible to have a partisan board.
