Young Masselli has been the ubject of much discussion on asions, and attempted a ‘“come- pack,” but like Napoleon at Water- 100, he met his master in the person of Seward Cowles. {he youth obtained a blank check and filled it in, making $5 payable to F. B. Williams and signed with his father’s Yame, Tony Masselli. Coming down Main street, he first stopped at Ritchie’s store, and asked Richard Luby to cash the check, Af- ter examining it minutely, Mr. Luby refused the request. holas then went to Williams’ market, where he fold the clerks his father sent him to pay a small bill and prooffered the check in payment. The clerk looked at the paper, smiled and told the boy to let the bill stand for a while longer. "His next stop was the Kensington post office, where he demanded that Miss Moore turn over coin of the realm to him for the check. Miss Moore refused. Masselli was a_trifle disheartened, but not discouraged, and swas seen going in the direction of the €lli homestead. A short while he appeared at Cowles' store and asked Seward Cowles, who was in charge, if he could cash a check. He had changed it so it was made payable to his father and signed with the name of ¥. B, Williams. Mr. Cowles told him he would keep the check for the time being and would return it to the young man later. icholas acqulesed in this and left the .

The pupils of Miss Anna Scollon, who is confined with an attack of grip, miss her very much and in order to show their affection and esteem for her today purchased a bouquet of flowers, which was sent to her this afternoon. There was much more secret whispering yesterday than usual and the teachers in charge knew scmething unusual was about to hap- pen. The pupils waited after school last night and asked permission to have a meeting in the room, which was granted. The scholars decided to show their appreciation for their teacher by sending a little testimonial of their regard. The following com- mittee was appointed to raise the funds and make arrangements to de- liver the testimonial: Mi Anna Gorman, treasurer;: May Bollman, red Karan, William Skeen, James Garrity and Jarol Elmgren. { cording to Mr. Whitman, pianist and the end parts will be taken | College Closed. Erwin Whitman returned home this morning from Eagleville, where he is a student at Connecticut Agricul- tural College. There has been many cases of grip among the faculty and students during the past few days and yesterday they assumed propor- tions of an epidemic. A feeling was growing on the campus that it would BREAK GROUND FOR Company Hustles for Laborers to Work on Structure WEDDING SECRET LEAKS 0UT Force of Fifty Men to Start on Ex- cavations—Expect Boom in Real Estate—Manufacturer and Book- keeper Married New Year's Day. Breaking of ground for the factory building to be erected for the Rock- well-Drake company on land east of the Trumbull Electric company’s plant is scheduled for tomorrow, according to an announcement made this morn- ing by a representative of the con- cern, and by the end of the week it is expected that at least fifty men will be employed in excavating ana doing other preliminary work. Surveyors were on the land today making meas- urements and staking out the site and in the morning the digging of the cel- lar will be started. Difficulty is being experienced in getting laborers and a representative of the company went to Meriden to- day to make an effort to get men to come here. Plainville and nearby cities and towns were scoured and promises of employment at fair wages were given to all able-bodied men who were willing to use pick and shovel and do other laborious work attend- ing the erection of factory buildings. A. J. Brault, the company’s con- struction man, who is to personally supervise the work, said this morn- ing that he wanted fifty men to start on the job tomorrow. The company has rented a building near the old freight depot to porvide sleeping ac- commodations for out-of-town help who may be unable to get rooms in Plaihville. Prospective employes are promised two month of steady worlk, the com- pany planning to hurry the construc- tion that the building might be ready for occupancy before the first of April. While' the plans call for a build- ing but 100x 180 feet, it was said to- day that they are subject to change and the surveyors laid out their stakes this morning for a structure nearly three times as large as the original drawings indicated. That the addition of the factory to Plainville’s growing industries will mean a bigger boom, particularly in be necessary to close the school tem- porarily and this feeling was justified yesterday when three cases of scarlat fever were found and the authorities decided to close the college. Ac- the exodus the announcement was made in rapid fashion. The au- thorities at the institution have closed it indefinitely and the report was the school would be shut down from one to five weeks. Early Brick Season. On account of the shortage of brick, the local manufacturers have decided to begin making earlier than usual this spring. Last summer the out- put was not normal, because of the large supply on hand and the fact that the market was flooded. However, the war-boom came along and build- ings were rapidly built, especially by munitions plant: Since the middle of December, between twenty-five and thirty cars of brick have left the lo- cal freight yard. The manufacturers, although hampered by lack of help, expect to begin making by March 1 and some have said they will “take a chance” next week. | Briefs. The local Grange will give an old- fashioned dance Friday evening at its new hall for the benefit of the build- ing fund. § It has not been definitely decided by the authorities at the Hartford hos- pital, whether First Selectman Wil- liam H. Gibney will have to undergo an operation for the removal of the gall-stones, with which he has been troubled for some time. He was re- ported as resting comfortably this morning. The condition of Mrs. L. E. Hub- bard remains about the same today. i Mrs. George A. Brooks who has been the guest of her father, J. A. Hall, returned to her home in Meri- den yesterday. Past Master Robert Andrews of Burritt Grange, New Britain, will in- stall the newly elected officers of the local grange at a meeting tonight in Grange hall. Mrs. Emilio Martino underwent an operation at the New Britain General hospital yesterday. A special meeting of the East Ber- lin Ladies Guild will be held tomor- row afternoon at the home of Mrs. | G. C." Hart to elect a successor to Mrs. Bailey, who has resigned as | president. The second Forward Movement of the East Berlin Methodist church will be held tomorrow evening. i of students after Lucius, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Bushnell, is ill with an attack of grip. The East Berlin Progressive Read- ing circle will meet at the home of Mrs. E. W. Mildrum this evening. Miss Helen Wallace, who has been ' the guest of friends in New Haven, returned home yesterday. The second session of the annual town meeting will be held tonight at 8 o'clock in the town hall. The ques- tion of collecting back taxes will be discussed. The condition of Miss Irene Case, | of East Berlin, who is ill with diph- | real estate, to the town is admitted and prices on land are already advancing, the owners anticipating that within a vear the ‘demand for building lots will be such that property will double in value before a great while. The Mountain View section. it is believed, will be the first to benefit by the factory as its proximity to the Rock- well property will make it most de- sirable for the workmen. There is a scarcity of vacant tene- ments here at the present time and if the Rockwell-Drake employes are to make their homes in Plainville it is apparent that there will be consider- able building activity here during the next few years. Keep Wedding a Secret. The return of the marriage license to the town clerk’s office yvesterday gave to Plainville its first information regarding the wedding of George William Bartlett, secretary of the Bristol Manufacturing company, and Miss Minnie Althea Buell, daughter of Frank Buell, which took place in Ellington, Conn., on New Year's Day. The news was a big surprise to friends of the young couple as up to the re- turn of the license they managed to keep it a secret. Kven their most intimate associates declared that they had been kept in the dark The ceremony was performed by Rev. David B. Jones, pastor of the Congregational church in Ellington. Mr. Bartlett for years has been one of the managers of the knitting mill here. His bride is employed in the local office of the company as book- keeper. While the couple were re- garded as warm friends their asso- ciates in the mill were not aware of their betrothal and consequently their surprise over the marriage announce- ment was great. After returning from Eilington the couple returned to their respective homes, Mr. Bartlett having apart- ments in Miss Delaney’s boarding | house on West Main street, and his bride making her residence with her ROCKWELL FACTORY | | theria, was reported as improved this | morning. Miss Edith Fox of Saybrook has returned home after a visit with Miss Ruth Clark of East Berlin. | Mrs. Martin Brown of the furn- pike is improving from her recent at- tack of pneumonia Why Tolerate Catarrh? ‘You have noticed, no doubt, that any cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the flow of mucous amazes you that such objectionable matter could find lodg- ment in your head. To ignore this catarrh when the cold subsides is wrong because it continues to slowly injure the delicate linings of the nasal Ppassages and clog them up. To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos- trils frequently with a solution of warm water and salt, insert vaseline on re- tiring, and take a spoonful of Scott’s Emulsion after meals for one month. Scott’s acts through the blood to feed the tissues, and contains soothing glycerine to check the inflammation ; and heal the sensitive membranes. Scott’s is pleasant to take.

Testifying that their opinion he is capable of handling his own busi- ness affairs, A. H. Condell, F. S. Neal, Dr L. H. Frost, Mrs. Catherine Tracy and others appeared before the pro- bate court yesterday afternoon in be- half of Thomas G. Russell, whose conservator asked to be removed, rec- ommending in her application that the young man’s money be turned over to him. The application was opposed by Russell's wife, through her attorney, | Judge W. F. Mangan. Judge George | R. Byington, who presided, will give a decision tomorrow on the applica- tion and friends of Russell expected | today that it would be favorable to him, his witnesses having presented a strong case, while the opposition failed tc introduce any testimony. Mrs. Rose A. Russell, the young mother, asked the court through her representative, F. S. Neal, | to relieve her of the duties of conser- | vator. Owing to ill health, she de- clared she was unable to serve any | longer, and it was her belief that her ! son is now capable of looking after | his own busin nterests.

All declared that the re- lations they had with the young man | gave them the opinion that he was a | safe person to look after the legacy which he received from the estate of his father, Thomas G.
