Enlarge Present Depot ;iOTHING DEFINITE KNOWN €t Paul’'s Drum Corps Will Compete i New Haver Tonight—Fast Foot- ball Arranged for Tomorrow After- noon—Church News. Rumors have been circulated in Kensington the past few days that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company is contemplating the erection of a new freight house or an addition to the present one. The Berlin freight house has been P»ing the largest business since its erection in the past few months. The building is so congested with incom- ing and outgoing freight that it is al- most impossible to take care of it. The rumor first started two weeks ago, when a gang of laborers began to repair the depot road. It was rwised about that the company in. ténded to put in a new macadam road, but the work simply consisted scraping the mud off and filling in a few holes. On Thursday, a Kensington man saw three engineers placing stakes in the field near the freight house. He ifquired of one of them the nature of their work. He was informed they were employed by the railroad and were making preliminary plans for the construction of a new building or an addition to the old one. Inquiry at the “Yellow” building in New Ha- ven this morning elicited no informa- ticn on the matter, the reply being that the general freight agent was out 0igown and no one there was au- thorized to speak on the subject. To Compete in New Haven, ~t. Paul's drum cords will journey to New Haven tonight, where it will eompete in the meet of the Connecti- cut Fifc and Drum Corps association.

Melbourne, Australia, Nov. 1.— Negotiations between private con- tractors and the navy department for the salving of the German cruiser Emden having been broken off . by the department chiefly because of the fear that the complications might arise if the Emden were used as a “show ship” at varlous ports, the department itself intends to salve tho wreck. A gunboat adequately manned for the purpose by experts and pro- vided with needed apparatus has just left for North Keeling Island in the Indian Ocean where the hulk of the Emden has laid for almost a year. SECOND HAND RAILS. Pittsburg, Nov, 20.—The inability of the mills of this district to accept orders for steel rails for quick de- livery has resulted in numerous in- quiries from foreign governments for second hand rails.

Settlement of the estate of Patrick Coughlin, Forestville’s eccentric bach- elor, among whose effects bank books, showing deposits of over $50,000 in varjous institutions for savings, were found following his sudden death nearly two years ago, is planned by the administrator, James Gray and a hearing will be held before Judge Newell in the probate court of Bris- tol next Tuesday, when the applica- tion for permission to distribute his property will be considered. No ob- jection is ‘anticipated and a favorable decision from the court is likely. The value of the estate is now said to be over $70,000. As Coughlin’s nearest relatives were some twenty- one nieces and nephews, the court has decided that the money belongs to them and all will share in the distri- bution. Several of the lucky rela- tives live in Plainville and they will get a slice of the aged man’s wealth when permission to distribute it is given the administrator. Litigation and differences over the disposal of real estate and mortgage holdings caused numerous delays in the settlement of the estate. One civil action, that of Mr. and Mrs. Frank J. Lord, who sued to recover for work which they allege they did for Coughlin during the latter vears of his life, was in the courts for sev- eral months before a decision was glven and the administrator was forced to hold the matter of settle- ment in abevance. [ . It is understood that the tangles have all been straightened out and as far as the administrator is concerned everything is in readiness for the dis- tribution of the money. The numer- ous heirs have made no objection to the amount allowed them as their share and it is not expected that they will put any obstacle in the way of an immediate settlement. At The Churches.

Open Saturday eve- nings from 7 to 9 o’clock, The First National Bank PLAINVILLE, CONN. l SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1915. E. G. Babcock & Co make a survey of certain streets in | the town for the purpose of locating street lines. Measurements are now being made of Broad and Bohemia streets and Forestville avenue, and when they are completed other streets | will be attended to. Selectman John- ! son has ordered some boundary stones which will be set in position as soon as they arrive. { Authority to make the survey was | given the board by the voters at the recent town meeting. A The town is obliged under tae law to locate the street lines for property owners contemplating the laying of sidewalks or the erection of buildings. | The selectmen believe that it would be ! cheaper to have the town get a sur- ! vey made of all the streets and a map drawn to show the boundary lines that | the present method is proving. Here- | tofore the selectmen have had to hire an engineer every time a request for boupdary lines was presented and the bills from surveying usually amount- ed to considerable in a year. | Insurance Co. Investigates. | Representatives of a Boston insur- ance company have been is Bristol for the past two days investigating the deatn of Charles Gage, who was drowned in a canal in the rear of the postoffice while trying to'save the life | of a man who had fallen into the | stream. Gage carried an accident pol- | fcy and his widow and child are en- | titled to the money due on it unless the company can evade payment on a technical feature of its policy- As the tragedy was not witnessed, the exact manner in which Gage met his death will never be known. It is believed. however, that in his haste to reach the drowning man, Gage stumbled over some obstruction on the bank of the canal and was precipitat- ed into the water. Should this explan- ation be accepted by the insurance | people money due on the policy will be paid. Tt is possible that the young man deliberately jumped into the wa- ter to aid the stream’s near victim and the act cost him his life. Under such circumstances, it is understood pay- ment of the policy could be evaded. Need Higher Rate Soon. While the town may be able to pay the expenses of the tiscal year on the revenue from a fourteen mill tax rate, i |escaped from the Massabhusetts re- the an the First Selectman Johnson is of opinion that within a short time increase will be necessary unless indebtedness is allowed to grow. The town has now reached a point, the selectman belleves, where it is impossible to reduce expenses and within five years it will have to add a mill or two to the tax rate to keep out of debt. He can see no prospect of a re- duction to 12 1-2 mills this year. It is expected that at the adjourned an- nual town meeting in January an ef- fort will be made to have this rate adopted. The move will be opposed by the town officials who argue that nothing less than fourteen mills wiil serve. Worried Over Escape. Believing that the state’s case will be greatly weakened If Anthony Von Stetina, who escaped from jail in Troy, N.
