Lincoln on Farmington road was dislodged from its moorings and smashed as it fell to the ground. Probably the greatest sufferer of the fury of the wind was the old Beckley quarry. This company was formed about ten years ago and much of its stock was floated but the company did very little in the manufacture of crushed store, The quarry is on the opposite side of the Mattebassett river from the railroad and one of ths concern’s engineers drew plans for a steel conveyer to transport the stone across the river to the railrcad siding. The structure had stood there for vears and weathered many previous gales, but the storm Sunday provea too much .for it and today it lies at the bottom cf the Mattebassett. The town of East Berlin today mourns the loss of its pine tree. This tree stood for centuries at the corner of Wilcox and Berlin streets until the ravaging wind of Sunday ecame along and blew it over. In its fal] it missed the home of Arthur Lawrence by only a matter of inches. Work of repairing the damage was begun this morning. A. B. Good- rich of Worthington Ridge had three carpenters assisting him to repair the roof of the ell-part of his home. The finance board of the Berlin Congregational church was in consul- tation with contractors this morning and an effort will be made to replace the chimneys as soon as possible. It is hardly expected that the work will be completed by Friday, which is set for the annual meeting of the church. Plans were made for a church sup- per to precede the meeting but from present indications this part of the program will be postponed. Rev. S. A. Tiske, the pastor said this morns ositive~ 1y be held on the date set for Removed to Hospital. Walter Gwatkins of Worthington Ridge was taken to the Hartford hos- gcron and on the south and west by ihe highway. Briefs, Professor Adolph Benson, Ph. D., of East Berlin left yesterday for Cleveland, Ohio, where he will read a paper entitled “The Letters of Henry C. Robinson concerning the works of Goethe” before a meeting of the Modern Language association of America. Miss Elizabeth and Richard Brown of Kensington are visiting friends in Erooklyn, N. Y. One of the beautiful windows in St. Gabriel'’s church, Iast Berlin, was shattered by the storm Sunday. Dwight Cowles, a former resident of Kensington, has returned to his home in Waterbury after spending Christ- mas with Robert Graham of Kensing- ton. Miss Mabel Barnes of East Berlin, an instructor in the Newton, Mass., Theological seminary, returned to her duties yesterday.

Mrs. Conlin, Mary and a well known resident for | died early this morning | Conlin, wife of Thomas | i complained | at her home on Whiting street after | an illness which extended over a pe- riod of several months. She suffered from a complication of diseases. Sev- eral wecks ago she underwent an op- eration which, for a time, seemed to recently and for the past few days her (cath had been expected. She lapsed into unconsciousness yesterday and remained senseless until the end this morning. While the funeral arrangements have not as yet been completed it is expected that the services will be held Friday morning at the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, where a high mass of requiem will be celebrated. Interment will be in $t. Joseph's cemetery. Mrs. Conlin was about forty-five vears of aze and had lived in Plain- ville since childhood. Besides her husband she leaves two sons, Edward and Albert, and two daughters Gene- vieve and Dorothy. Two sisters, Mrs. Arthur Farrar of North Washington street and Mrs. William Cunningham of Maple street also survive her.

Stores Without Mail Boxes. Postmaster P. J. Prior has found it necessary to call the attention of some of the merchants to the absence of mail receptacles in their places of business. Under the order by which the city delivery service was estab- lished, the patrons must provide suit- able hoxes for the use of the carriers and those who neglect to attend to this feature of the requirements are not entitled to be served Orders from Washington make it essential that the receptacles be pro- vided and the postoffice had had the carriers call the attention of the pa- trons to their negligence. Apples for Office Force, Memoers of the clerical force in the Trumbull Electric company’s plant shared in the distribution of a barrel of apples sent to the concern as a Christmas reminder from the Wet- more- Savage company of Boston. The sales representatives of this concern were here today as the guests of the Trumbull officials. They were shown through the factory and in- formed as to the methods employed in production. Hold Out Against Raise. Although they admit that there scemingly is but little chance of get- ting the tax rate reduced to 12 1-2 mills, there is a faction planning to attend the adjourned annual town meeting on January 10 to oppose any effort to make the rate in excess of fourteen mills. The selectmen and other officlals Lelieve that the revenue from a four- teen mill rate will hardly be suffi- cient to pay all the bills this year and they may recommend to the voters that an extra mill be added. The loss of the share of the state appropriation for schools, usually received by the town, will put an additional burden on the taxpavers and the officials | claim will practically make a raise in { the tax rate necessary. As the grand list total is in excess of $2,000,000 Denefit her but she suffered a relapse | "I" hoped that as a result of the removal of Philip Marino as a regular patrol- man and other prospects of saving, the town would get along on the revenue from a 12 1-2 mill rate but it is now believed that they will in- sist on a reduction when the matter comes up for action. Still Holding Horses, Creditors of William C. Hart, who received horses and wagons in settle- ment of their claims before the select- man was declared a bankrupt, say they know of no formal action taken | as yet by the trustee to force them to | return the property to the estate and submii their bills with the others to whom Hart was indebted. They had been notified to send the rigs back to the livery stabie barns but refused, claiming that they have Dbills of <ale for the property and that the transfer was legal. They expect that litigation will be started by Trustee Benzon to have the dis- pute settled by the cour Complained Against Perrin a for the ar- Meyers M.
