The beys exemplified their Work in a pleasing manner and were the recipients of much applause. The program opened with a piano selection by Mrs. Fiske, followed by a solo by Miss Woodford. The next in order was the presentation of the troop. The boys marched on the stage and saluted the flag. George! Pigkett then read a brief history of tife troop. The troop was first organ- ized in the fall of 1913 with a mem- bership of 19. Rev. S. A. Fiske being scoutmaster assisted by Grant Wick- wire. In January of the present year | the troop was registered as members of the Boy Scouts of America, thus being connected with the national body. It is divided into three patro) the Moose, Stag and Beaver patrols. The speaker then told of the numer- ous trips taken by the troop, the most Totable one being that of last spring When the troop took an overnight trip to Avon. The parents of the| hoys are greatly interested in the scout work and a round of applause followed the reading of the sketch. SAn exhibit of First Ald work fol- lowed and it was carried on in efiicicnt manner. The work was di- vided into thrce « ons. Walter | Troop acted as vietim, while Edward T{x'ml(‘ demonstrated the method of applying the bandage.

Myron Good St Everett Turner and Lewis eibert with Carrol Dunham then gave exhi- bitions of the firemen’s lift. These boys came in for much commenda- tioR today on the efficient manner in which they carried out their demon- strations. The most serious part of the pro- m was then carried out. Scout and s d Br Master Samuel A. Fiske took the platform and invited the councillors of the troop. Major F, L. Wilcox and £ W. Mildrum, and Scout Mast Sinner of Troon 4 of the Church of Christ, New Brit ascend to the stage. A most imy eive ceremony, that of e admittng ten “‘tenderfeet” member to the troop.

Major Wilcox then addressed the b He told them they were doing ¢ work and lauded the work of the na tional body and warned them to al- ways follow out the precepts, which they are learning in the movement. The speaker congratulated the troop for its wonderful entertainment and for the interest shown in its work. The boys then gave the scout yell, which shook the rafters of the build- ing. An exhibition of semaphore signal- ing was given by William <Turner, George Pickett, Iiverett Turner and| Loyd Minor. One of the audience | gave an original message to William | Turner, who ascended the stage and | wig-wagged it tq the other three per- formers. When the message was re- peated word for word by them, tae audience gasped with astonishment| and the boys were warmly applauded. | Miss Woodford pleased with a solo. The next event was the most popu- lar on the program. wall-scaling ex- | hibition. So great was the applaus that followed this work It was nec- essary to give an encore before the next number.

The veterans of the town or at least those, who attended a photo-play in New Britain yesterday afternoon were in their praise of the Son's of Veterans’ association today. The latter body acted as Rost to the for- mer on the occasion. The Boys of 61" enjoyed the play immensely and many tender memories and oc tions were revived by the picture. Port Master Henry L. Porter, had only one complaint in regard to the picture, despite close attention paid by him, he failed to see the bridge at Antietem, where he was in that great battle. A. A. Weldon, who was ju returning from Maine, et by the party at the depot and was imme- diately invited to join in. Mr. Weldon took part in the battle of Petersburg and his blood tinglec as he saw the events of that memorable conflict brought before his cyes. erans were deeply touched courtesy of the younger | inviting them to sce the picture, but by the Mr. Weldon said this morning | “Mere words could not do justice to the appreciation we fell toward the j Sons.” On the return tyip the Vet- llemns heid a meeting and vote of thunks to the Sens’ for its kindness Mrs, Frank Angelevitt, Mrs Eva, wife of Frank Angelevitt All the vet- | ociation in | of Gingerbread ILane, died at her home yesterday afternoon.

Griswold, H. T. Bray of New Britain and Hodgson of t Berlin attended her, but thelr efforts were of no avail. The unfortunate woman is survived by her husband, who is em- ployed in P. & F.

CROSSING New Signal Device to Be Installed on East Main Street BUSINESS MEN WANT GATES hool Board Disappointed With Eve- ning School—Firemen Klect Offi- cers—Cascicllo May Sue Railroad— Clock Will Stike Kach Hour. Notice of the plan of the New Ha- ven road to try out a new warning signal at the East Main street cross- ing as a result of continued agitation on the part of the Business and Im- provement association for better pro- tection for the public was received this morning by Frank T. Wheeler, president of the association. The particulars were not communicated to Mr. Wheeler, the only information which he received being that a new device, invented for use at railroad crossings, is to be installed here as an experiment and if it proves suc- cessful will be distributed throughout the state. As Mr. Wheeler understands it the sign is operated by the flagman. When a train is approaching it “Stop” as a warning to autbists, team- sters and pedestrians. When the crossing is clear for traffic the “Go Ahead” signal will be in evidence. The company has asked for opinions on the merits of the device and Plainville people will be requested to observe it during the two weeks it is to be in use as an experiment. For several months the Business and Improvement association has been after the railroad for an im- provement on the manner .in which the cr ng is guarded. At present a flagman is stationed at the place only until seven o’clock’ at night. On the west side of the tracks there is a light to show the “Danger, Rail- road Crossing” signal but autoists and teamsters approaching from New Britain have no means of know- ing their peril at night. As a re- sult there have been a number of narrow escapes. The association 4@k up the mat- ter with Selectman Johnson and it is likely that a new incandescent will be installed at this point. Railroad officials came here in response to a request from the directors to look over the situation but they were averse to putting gates into opera- tion owing to the peculiar angle of the crossing and the amount of ground which would have to be cov- ered. They no fre orders to have cht left sufliciently close to the crossing to obstruct the view of autoists on the road and also in- structed the brakemen on switchers operating after 7 o'clock at night to guard th® street each time their train crossed it. Freights and dinkeys also slowed down, improving condi- tions materially. Nevertheless the situation continues far from satisfactory. The brake- men are not always following out finally issued cars ing after Mass. Officers for the en- suing year will be elected. The Berlin Grange has postponed its dance schedule for tonight on ac- count of the inability to secure the Phenix orchestra. Th Wigwam club of the Kensing- ton Congregational church met with the pastor, Rev. Carletor Hazen, last night and discussed the affairs of the club. Mrs. Mabel Perry Smith of Bing- hamton, N. Y., and Miss Emma Perry of Maple Hill are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Porter. The Beckley Quarter social club will hold a poverty social in the “Old Mill” tonight.

He was attended at the time by Dr. L. H. Frost. He alleges his injuries were due to carelessness on the part of employes of the company who caused the train | to move before all passengers had properly alighted. He claims that a number of others were hurt at the same time. Clock Will Strike Each Hour. After about the middle of January, the bell in the tower of the Congrega- | tional church will strike each hour, indicating the time the gong sending | forth each peal in memory of the deceased mother and wife of Charles H. Norton, of Worcester, Mass. Mr. Norton has ordered a memorial traffic to be heavy and the committee reported that while they were on the watch there were a number of nar- row escapes, because of the lack of adequate protection. If the new signals do not give sat- isfaction the local association pro- poses to keep up its agitation until gates are installed or the company provides a substitute guard of equal | merit. Night School May Fail. While disappointed over the failure of the evening school to prove the success predicted when the voters au- thorized its continuance for a year, members of the school committee continue hopeful that there will be an improvement by the first of the vear and they propose to keep in running at least until the Christmas from bullet wounds received i sational attempt made by De | steal a bag containing $4,000 Fourteenth street subway stat ing the rush nour late b4 Gardner was shot by De Bro was in turn wounded by bulle| his own revelver, which had | wrested from him by Walter man, another messenger.
