The cause of the latest complaint is the condition of the road bed of the tracks between the residence of J. C. Lincoln and Flannery’s Hill. This is a level stretch of road and forms an ideal place for the motormen, who may or may not be a trifle behind in schedule, to make up lost time. The cars sway back.and forth, and one riding in them feels that it will topple over every instant. = Several citizens discussed the matter recently with the: ‘idea. of presenting a petition to th company asking the road bed be re- paired.

Another disciple has joined the anks of modesty lately. A story was afloat yesterday that there had been a hold-up on one of the back roads of the town Tuesday. The tale was to the effect that a man of the town, who has charge of a delivery, was held up by two rather tough looking char- s, while pursuing his duties.

London, Feb. 3, 10 a. m.—The tes- timony of a resident of a seacoast village in Norfolk during Monday’s Zeppelin raid issgiven-as-follows in the Manchester Guardian: About five o'clock in the evening I heard a noise in the sky above my cottage and saw a Zeppelin coming down rather slowly at a steep angle. It ghen righted itself and cruised about, as if taking its bearing. It was of a grayish brown color, like a rat.. All the people of the village came out to see the airship which, after a circular movement along the coast, dropped bomibs near some farm buildings in a field and then made off. Tt was over our neighborhood al- together for about three-quarters of an hour and seemed unable to find its course. A witness, who saw & Zep- pelin over London in the last raid, says that the present one seemed twice as large.

Griffin and the latter was taken into custody, Constable Henry David making the arrest. Griffin was released on bonds. The case is one | of a revolting nature and some sen- | sational developments are promised before it is disposed of. Griffin’s arrest was brought through a complaint made by Mrs. Alice Gum, known in Plain- | lle as Alice Griffin. The woman, | who is forty-one years of age and has | been twice married, ter of the | accused. She has preferred criminal | charges against him and if they can | be substantiated, the man is liable to | a long term in prison. | Griffin and his ter are to be degenerate types. Mrs. Gum | called on Tirst Selectman Johnson | yesterday afternoon to seek help from | the town. Her condition and the accusation which she made concerning her brother caused the selectman to report the case to the grand juror, his arrest resulting. This morning the grand juror stated that Griffin had been arrested on a misdemeanor charge but would prob- ably face a more serious count when he is arraigned in court. Tt was arranged to have Griffin brought before Justice A. H. Condell this afternoon for a hearing but to enable the state to make a more com- plete investigation of the case, ad- journment was taken until next Mon- day afternoon at 1 o’clock. The ac- cused was released on honds of §500 Wants 5,000 Damages. Claiming that owing to negligence | the part of the operator of the automobile which ran him down near | Plainville center on May 15, 1915, he sustained serious injuries, Willis W. Clark of Canton, has brought suit for $25,000 damages against William J. Madden of Bristol. Papers in the case have been served on the Bristol | man and the suit is made returnable before the superior court at the spring term. Clark, who mechanic, was scified 1 been made, Grand Juror Gwillim ted a about yesterday believed | on claims to in Pl be an expert inville on the in the writ He al- | he was about to board | a trolley car on the terminus of the | stol and Plainville Tramway com- s line on West Main street, Mad- auto ran into him. He al- leges that four of his ribs were | broken and that he suffered a twist | in his spinal column. The plaintiff declares that the acci- dent was due entirely to negligence on the part of Mr. Madden’s chauffeur. Representatives of the insurance company which issued Mr. Madden's automobile accident policy, it is said, have been in consultation with Mr. Clark in an effort to settle the case but they belleved the amount he wanted was excessive. | Engincers have been here to make a survey of the highway in the local- | ity where the accident occurred and the plaintiff’s counsel, has had a map | of the layout prepared for use in court. leges tt s Storm Delays Work. Yesterday’s storm caused a tem- porary hold-up in the construction work on the building of the Rock- well-Drake company and th{s morn- | ing signs of activity at the place had | disappeared. | Rapid progress had been made | since ground was broken for the | plant and the men in charge re- ported this morning that the cement foundation would be completed within two days after it is possible to resume | work. Next week it is the intention to start placing the steel frame work in position, the bricklayers being ex- pected to have their part of the con- tract sufficiently advanced by Mon- Gay to make this possible. Snow Plows Out. First Selectman Johnson was down | town early today to superintend the work of removing the snow from the sidewalks. He had two plows in commission and by noon paths had | been made on most of the streets near | the center. Believing that the storm.was over, the selectman had the plows in ser- vice late yesterday afternoon but this morning he discovered that the work had to be done over again, the heavy snowfall during the night having made walking difficult and un- pleasant. Talk Building Prospects. The board of directors of the Busi- n and Improvement association will meat this evening in the club rcoms in Odd Fellows' hall and will probably take up the matter of ar- ranging for the organization’s annual banquet. The Business Men's ban- quet is Plainville’s blg event every year and it is awaited with keen anticipation for months. This year's will probably prove no exception .to the rule.
