Berlin News 1 e et o e T et e SCHOOL BOARD WILL ' ASK FOR $500 EXTRA Decides to Improve Conditions in Kensington School AL OFFICERS RE-ELECTED Wettig-Martin Wedding Takes Place This Afternoon—Trolley Service Is Oriticised—Fire Impresses Need Of Byotection. The school board helds its annual meeting yesterday afternoon and elected officers for the coming year. | The same men, who served so faith- fully for the past term, were chosen to act in the same capacities. They ar® as follows: President, J. T. Mo- lumphy; vice president, S. M. Cowles; treasurer, F. N, Bacon, and secretary, A. L. Woodruff. The president will ap- point the members of the finance, teachers’ and repair committees be- fore the next meeting. After a short discussion it was voted to ask the town for an extra appro- ipriation of $500 to secure a new ‘teacher and to fit up another room in the basement of the Kensington Grammar school. At present there are forty-seven pupils in the first grade and both the teachers’ commit- tee and Superintendent Dows feel this is too many for one teacher to handle properly. - There is not enough time for individual instruction and the%work of the children does not get a proper foundation. The school hoard thinks another first grade teacher is necessary in order that the propoged amount of study. may | be given. On motion of Mr. Cowles it was voted that beginning on November 16 and thereafter all bills contracted -the school board should be paid Dby orders drawn on the town trea- surer, in accordance with law as specified in the General Statutes, sec- tions 22 and -24. The treasurer was authorized to procure blank books and any other paraphernalia. The meeting then adjourned. «, Delay In Trolley Service. Patrons who had occasion to use the trolleys at 10 o'clock last night, were making complimentary remarks about the Connecticut company this orning, because the system was de- yed for approximately forty minutes. nquiry revealed that a car came in fontact with a wagon at Upson's Cor- Ser, hence the delay. The wagon E.‘he property of an Italian who ves In Beckley. He was coming down the Farmington road and was caught in the tracks. Before the wehicle could be extricated the car ecame along and struck it. A friend of the owner; who was riding with him, was thrown out. Fortunately fhe suffered no il effects beyond ‘a shaking up. Laborer Injured. ncent Mario, a laborer employed t the Murray brickyard, was removed when a lump of clay, weighing about 100 pounds fell on him and threw him to the ground. His companions rushed to his assistance and then summoned Dr. R. M. Griswold, who ordered his removal to the hospital. He was rest- ing comfortably this morning. That Water Question. i The fire which destroyed the home | of J. T. Molumphy yesterday has once more brought to the minds of the citizens of Kensington the neces- | sity of having adequate protecuon., The interest in the meeting of Fri- day night has received a great im-! petus and it is thought there will be ' a large gathering of townspeople in St. Paul's parish hall on that night. Some have thought there might be _opposition to the idea from the Ken- ' sington Water company, which has a charter to furnish the town with wa- | ter. The "directors of this company are affiliated with the American Paper Gcods company and L. S. Reynal of the latter concern was interviewed on the subject. Mr. Reynal said he was not cognizant of the meeting and] could not say whether the water com- pany would offer any objections. Those who have made arrangements for the meeting feel there will be no cpposition and expect to have water from New Britain by next summer, Ackerman-Bergenholz, Car] Ackerman of East Berlin and Miss Anna Bergenholz of Hartford, ! will be married at the home of the bride this evening. Hugo Matsen of East Berlin will act as best man and Miss Gerda Ackerman, a sister of the groom will be bridesmaid. After a honeymoon trip, the couple will re- side in East Berlin. Rettig-Martin. The home of Mr. and Mrs. L. G. lShelflon of Kensington presented a pretty appearance this afternoon | when Arthur E. Rettig of Hartford and Miss Emma Martin of New Britain were united in matrimony. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. G. W. C. Hill, pastor of the South ' Congregational church of New. Britain, and the double ring service was used. The house was prettily | decorated, the color scheme being yellow, green and white. The bride was attended by Miss | Eva Sheldon and Oscar Rettig, a brother of the groom, was best man. The flower children were the Misses Gertrude and Gladys Middleton. The wedding march was played by Mrs. Edward Handel of Glastonbury and | she also sang “O Promise: Me."” The bride wore a gown of white crepe meteor and embroidered net trimmed with pearl and a veil trimmed with orange blossoms and pearl. She carried a shower bouquet of bride roses and lilies of the valley. The bridesmalid’s gown was of yellow charmeuse with lace and she carried 2 bouquet of yellow chrysanthe- mums. The flower girls wore white with yellow ribbon sashes. After the ceremony the couple left on a honeymoon trip through New York state.

MAYO SUED BY HIS NEW HAVEN WIFE Action Filed In Supreme Court of New York for $250,000 Damages For Fraud. New York, Oct. 27.—Virginius St. Julian Mayo, head of the Mayo Rad- jator company of New Haven, Conn., who was brought into the limelight last February through the suicide of a Brooklyn girl employved as a sten- ographer in his office, was again in- volved in litigation yesterday his New Haven wife, Mrs. Wilhelmina Mayo, filed suit in the supreme court here for $250,000 damages for fraud. The plaintiff who describes herself as Wilhelmina Meyer, known as Wilhelmina Mayo, bases her suit on allegations that her hus- band ind that he was a single man, when s a mat- ter of fact, he had a wife living at the time. . Mayo's marriage to Wilhelmina Meyer, the plaintiff in the suit brought here today, was the result of an elopement in 1902. Mayo, then in the electrical supply business in Brooklyn, caused Miss Meyer to break an engagement with another man, it is claimed and to wed him at a church of the Latter Day Saints in Brooklyn. She later inherited an estate from her grandmother, Mrs. | Minna Meyer, of Newark. AGED WOMAN DROWNED.

Arrangements for the opening of the town’s evening school have been completed by the school board's spe- committee and Secretary A. L. today that the classes will begin their studies Mon- day night. The school will be in ses- sion on Monday and Wednesday nights from 7:15 to 9:15. Interest taken in the school, par- ticularly by non-English speaking residents, indicates that there will be a large enrollment and that the at- tendance will probably be far ahead of that shown in the records last year when the school was established. Principal Orrin L. Judd will have charge of the advanced class, while the beginners will be instructed by Miss Nellie Brock. The school will be held in the old building instead of the brick school- house and will start with two rooms, an extra grade being provided later if the attendance warrants such action. Although the town has made an ap. propriation to cover the expense of the school an effort will be made to have the pupils pay a part of the cost, the tuition at least, in con- formance with the suggestion of Rev. H. T. Walsh made in his report as acting school visitor. Some of the young men, who are anxious to join the classes, have expressed a willing- ness to contribute towards the ex- cial Rogers announced pense of the school and contributions | will be received from them, although the payment of any money on the part of the pupils will not be essential to admission to the sessions. It is planned to continue the school through the winter if the interest does not lag. Society in Nursery Rhymes. Local society people will leave this mundane sphere tonight and will take | | a journey into the land of nu rhyme, assuming the characters made famous in children’s stories, and serving in their odd costumes as at- tendants at the Mother Goose which is to be held this evening, and tomorrow afternoon and evening in the Town hall, under the auspices of the Woman’s club. All the arrange- ments have been completed and the club is now ready to take the patrons of the fair through an enchanted land. The Town hall has been trans- formed into a veritable fairy garden. The decorations are novel and entire- ly in keeping with the character of the fair. There will be countless attractions | on the midway through which the Mother Goose characters will prom- enade in search of s it will be a hard heart that cannot be touched by their pleas for dona- thons to the cause,—the enlarging of the library fund: There will be a motion A TOPCOAT THAT HAS MUCH STYLE AND DURABILITY picture l R _SMART DESIGHN I Seal brown velours de laine gives this good effect.

While no official announcement has been made by the company it is | lcarned on good authority that New | Haven road has made plans to | store to Plainville the transfer stati which was moved to New Haven and Hartford a year ago, Heads of various departments in the “yellow building” were here yesterday to make the necessary arrangements and in a few it is expected the work of trans- | ferring the freight will be started, a force of ncarly 100 men being em- ployed oon as the necess: changes can be made. Plainville, owing to its central lo- | cation, makes an ideal place for a | transfer yard. While it is said that freight can be handled more expedi- tiously on the western division when it is transferred here, it is believed that the saving of time is not the only reason for locating the yard hero this time. There is a big strike of freight handlers in Boston and some difficul- v i being experienced in moving mei- cundise from one car to another at points.
