John C. Brennan conducting the eremony and celebrating the nup- al mass which followed. The bride was attended by her sis- fer, Mrs. Howard Abeale Burnett and e bridegroom’s brother, Francis ofey, was best man. The bride ore a traveling gown of dark blue jluvetyn, trimmed with fitch and a hat of blackberry panne with blue nd rose uncurled ostrich feathers. irs. Burnette’'s suit was blue broad- loth trimmed with seal bands and ber hat was a black Gainsborough, rimmed with roses. TH® altar was artistically but simply pcorated with oak leaves, while rysanthemums and ferns and altar 4tes were banked with similar deco- ations, the whole showing very ef- ectively against the white and gold pt the altar. After the ceremony a reception was eld at the Richard Murray home- tead, the bride and bridegroom re- elvipg their friends under an arch- bay of autumn leaves. Maynard of feriden catered and served thirty- vo guests at the wedding breakfast. Mr. and Mrs. Brennan left on the 1:29 train for New York and later iil spend their honeymoon on a ip to Niagara Falls and Cleveland. efore their return they will visit e hgidegroom's sister who is a stu- ent at the Immaculate Heart Acad- Iny at Watertown, New York.

They will be at home after e 15th of December at 115 Dewitt rect, New Haven. on Expenses Filed. veerday was the last day for fil- g election expenses and from the t it can be seen they were light. Fillard I. Alling, reported expenses $1 for printing, C. F. Lewls spent 0 for transportation, W. W. Fagan, blitical agent of the democratic Lrty spent $1.75 for printing and 40 for postage, making a total of b 15, Lelana W. Gwatkin, unsuc- pssful cajuidate for tax collector, re- ! expemses of $19.00 of which 00’ went for printing and station- der of the candidates report no ex- penses. No Third Selectman. Since Edward Stevens, who was elected third selectman, has not qual- ifled there is a vacancy on the board of selectmen. His place will be filled by the other members of the board and they are waiting for sug- gestions from the democratic town committee, before doing so. There are several names being mentioned, among them N. L. Beckley, J. J. Fitz- simmons, W. W. Fagan and .George Sullivan. As Mr. Fagan will prob- ably be the next postmaster of Ken- sington and Mr. Sullivan is a mem- ber of the finance board/ it is thought the position will be filled by one of the first two named gentlemen. St. Paul’s Fair, Another large crowd attended the fair last night and was generous in applause for the entertainment. 1t was a musical program and every one of the performers acquitted him- self with credit. The drawing on the season tickets took place and the following is the result: Ton of coal, E. J. Ryan Jr, ‘Westfleld; - barrel of flour, blank; ham, blank; umbrella, Miss Anna Cary Kensington; lemonade set, blank; box of cigars, blank. Tonight is the closing night and another huge crowd is expected to bring the 1915 fair to a fitting close. Father Brennan refuses to divulge what the entertainment will be for he has arranged a surprise for those who attend. Dancing has been the most favored thing of the other nights, so the pastor has decided to give the sons and daughters of Terp- sichore their fill this evening. They can cavort on the waxed floor until the drawing begins, which will be about 10:30. f Thus far the attendance has more than filled expectations and there is every reason to believe this evening's will outclass them all. ‘Wild Ducks. There has been much shooting of late on the lower pond of the Matta- besett Fishing club, and the authori- ties desire to warn the nimrods that they must not slaughter the flock of wild ducks that are at present re- siding there. The pond is rather shallow and the birds find difficulty in taking a swim. Several hunter have set up traps to decoy the flock which numbers about 200. These ducks come under the head of migra- tory birds and there was a bill pas- sed by the last congress making it a misdemeanor to kill them The bill was introduced by Senator Mec- Lean of Connecticut. Since the hunt- ing season opened, there has been too much shooting in that neighbor- hood and the offenders want to keep their eyes pealed or the state game wardens, who are very active, will get them. Dress Suit Missing. A Hartford clothing firm has writ- ten to the prosecutor, asking him to try to locate a person, who hired a dress suit from them and failed to return it. Thé suit in question was procured about four weeks ago. The man gave his name as Ralph Lom- bardo and his residence as Kensing- ton and said he desired to wear it at the wedding of a friend in this town He took the garments, promising to bring them back in a few days. Since then nothing has been heard either of him or the dress =uit. No one by that name is known hereabouts i but an effort will be made to find the man. and $5.00 for stamps, $7.00 for hitog, $3.00 for trolley tickets and 0 for small.items. The.remain- ‘Which Pavement. Selectman Gibney had a confer- ce with the state highway commis- of | sioner yesterday regarding the pro- posed pavement for the New Brit- ain road. The commissioner will submit figures on the cost of different materials. = They agreed the traffic is too heavy there for a water bound macadam top, which is the present dressing and that Warrenite would be too slippery. The commissioner favors a concrete top, but the selectman feels it is too expensive. Mr. Gibney says the as- phalt top on Main street, Kensing- ton has done good service and he is partial to that covering. When he receives the estimates from Hart- ford, the board of selectmen will probably call a special town meeting to choose the material. Grange Notes. The Berlin entertainment grange will put on an tomorrow the Westfield Grange in that town. A rummage sale was Held in For- ester’s hall today and it was one of the most successful ever held. Beok Club Meets. The Bast Berlin Book club held its first meeting of the season at the home of Mrs. Martin Hazen last night. Plans for the coming months were discussed. Briefs. Owing to the rush of business the American Paper Goods company has put on a night shift in their paint- ing department. Mrs. S. M. Cowles, Mrs. Isaac Por- ter and the Misses Carrie and Paul- ine Bauer attended the meeting of the American Board of Missions in Hartford today.

Shuts Down Pumping Plant— Tax Lists Come In Slowly—Scott's Swamp Residents Aroused—Briefs. officials of the New Haven Plainville during the with which more or less mystery has been explained the company the visits of high to months, Frequent road past few connected, are probably in that plans for the announcement has formulated laying | of extra rails on the Northampton di- | vision to complete a stretch of double | tracks between New Haven and West- It is understood that the com- proposes to start work on the improvement in the near future and by Spring the terminals will probably be connected by a continuous stretch of double iron. Business over the Northampton di- vision or the Canal road, as it is popularly known, has been increasing steadily during the past two years and some difficulty has been experi- enced in moving the numerous freights between the terminal cities because of congestion resulting. This condition will be relieved by the double tracking of the line and it is figured that the transportation of freight may be expedited, and better time made by all trains. Owing to the inadequate facilities, there are sometimes two or three freight trains at a time within the borders of this town and there is an expensive delay because of the in- abili of the crews to get a ‘‘clear line” order. The division is double tracked only in sections and there are long stretches where a’ single pair of irons has to serve for all trains. It is the intention to eliminate the sid- ings now used by freights awaiting orders to proceed, substituting an entra track instead. Delays will then be unnecessary and it is estimated that the expense of the improvement will be met by increased profits in a short time. Railroad officials in special trains have been in Plainville several times since last summer and until now their visits were not explained. The double tracking plans are thought to be a sequel to their trips as they were invariably accompanied by en- gineers when making an Inspection of the localities in which a single track has been serving. Entertains On Birthday. Miss Helen Prior delightfully en- tertained a number of her friends last evening at her home on South ‘Washington street. The occasion was the anniversary of her birth. The gathering was of a Hallowe'en character and the decorations and favors were appropriate for the sea- son. A veranda dance was enjoyed dur- ing the evening. There was music and Hallowe'en games and other forms of social diversion. Back to Reservoir Water. The operation of the pumping plant at Mountain View has been suspend- ed by the Water company for the winter and the patrons will now be supplied from the reservoir. The plant which forces water from driven wells into the mains, was shut down Monday night. The town is still supplied with well water, nowever, as the standpipe which holds the overflow has not as vet been emptied. An analysis has been made of the reservoir water and the results are entirely satisfactory. During the warm weather a vegetable growth in the bottom of the reservoir gives the water a most unpleasant odor and taste, and its nauseating character makes it practically vnfit for house- hold use. In the winter there is a marked improvement and the service seems to be satisfactory. Lists Come in Slowly. Property owners have not as vet shown a disposition to hurry the pre- sentation of lists of their taxable pos- DS TO DIGESTIOR ‘Whatever improves bodily conditions in general aids digestion.

'Plainville News DNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1915. YOUR HAIR AND STOP DANDRUFF becomes charming, lustrous and thick in few moments, Hair wavy, bit of dandruff disappears and halr stops coming out. very For 25 cents you can save your hair. In less than ten minutes you can double its beauty. Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap- pears as soft, lustrous, and charming as a young girl's after applying some Danderine. Also try this—moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small rtrand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or excesstve oil, and in just a few mom- you have doubled the beauty of vour hair. A delightful surprise awalls those whose hair has been neg- lected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brit- tle or thin. Besides beautifying the hair, Danderine dissolves every parti- cle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping ftching and falling hair, but what will please you most will be after a few weck's nse, when you gee new hair fine ana downy at first—yes—but really new hair growing scalp. If you care for pretty, hair, and lots of it, surely get a cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter and fust try it. ents soft 25 25- sessions to the assessors and as a re- sult the officials are having an easy time. Taxpayers have until Novem- ber 1st to submit their affidavits, and the assessors expect that, judging from the demand for blanks, the num- ber liable to fine for delinquency will not he above normal. The board is holding sessions every afternoon. The daily meetings will continue until the first of the month and on the 28th, 29th and 30th the board will be in session in the evening until 9 o'clock to serve those who cannot call during the daytime. This year non-resident taxpayers are also obliged to submit their lists. Blanks have been sent out to nearly five hundred out-of-town people who own property here. Few of them have made a return to date, but as the assessors notified them of the ten per cent assessment which will be charged against them, should they fail to comply with the law, it is likely that most of the blanks will be sent here, with the aflidavit of the proper per- sons, before November 1st. Donahue Hearing Thursday. The adjourned hearing of charges against Harry Donahue of this place, arrested for reckless driving, —run- ning an auto while intoxicated and operating a car without a license, will be held in Unionville tomorrow evening. The young man will be represented by Judge Willlam J. Ma- lone of Bristol, and it is understood he will enter a plea of not guilty to all charges. David Lawlor of Forestville, and Miss Jennie Manchester, who were seriously injured in the accident, which had its sequel in Donahue's arrest, are well on the road to re- covery and it was sald today that Lawlor's condition will warrant his appearance in court as a witness for the defendant. According to Donahue's compan- ions, the young man was sober when the accident occurred. They deny that he was driving recklessly and also declare that his license was probably lost in the confusion which followed the collision as they had noticed the card in the machine a few hours before the smash. Scott’s Swamp “Up In Arms.” Residents of Scott's Swamp, at least a good percentage of them, are expressing Indignation over the action of School Committeeman George Bry- ant in nailing boards over the win- dows in the district school house and there is talk of calling a meeting of the voters to censure him for his actions. Two years ago, after a series of lively meetings, the school house was ordered closed, the voters deciding to send the children of the district to the Farmington school. The build- ing has not been used since for school purposes but it serves admirably for meetings of a social, business or in- structive character and the school committeeman’s action in removing the shutters and substituting un- sightly hoards does not seem to meet with the approval of his neighbors. Storm clouds are hovering about the district and the arguments of the voters indicate troublesome times for the members of the school commit- tee. . Photographic Exhibition. The Plainville Dramatic club is making arrangements for a free pub- lic exhibition in the library during the latter part of November. The exhibit will include paintings and drawings but the interest is expected to center in the photographic con- tributions. In an effort to create general in- terest in the exhibition the club has decided to solicit the loan of photo- graphs and paintings from people other than members, to be used at the discretion of the committee. Photographs should be suitably mounted and accompanied by the title and the name of the maker. All mat- ter intended for the exhibition should be left with Miss Laura Cowles or Rev. F. L. Grant not later than No- vember S. The club expects to exhibit a large number of excellent pictures and there is considerable local interest in its plans, Brief Items.
