Several concerns demonstrate their makes of chemical engines and lo- cal people who attended the show are ugain given to the thought of pro- curing one for the town. That there is need of some sort of protection is shown by the jump in the insurance es during the past two years. In that short space of time the rates have increased approximately sixty per cent and an agent for a large swcompany recently told one of his customers a further increase would soon be asked for by his company. The question has been discussed several times in the past few. days hy some citizens and one man offered the suggestion that a subscription be taken for the purchase of a chem- ical engine which would furnish some protection.” So great was the en- thusiasm manifested at a recent ga- hering that one prominent citizen of- fered to start the list with a sub- stantlal sum.

Ferret Bites Selectman First Selectman Wiltiam TI. was the victim of a peculiar occur- rence vesterday afternoon. Mr. G ney was in Hartford conferring with State's Attorney Alcorn regarding cases from the local court and while coming down Allyn street saw a large crowd gathered Inquiry revealed the fact that ferret had become im- prisoned under a flag walk .and it was necessary to lift the flag to re- lease the animal. The flag was lifted | and the owner grabbed the animal by | the body leaving the head free. The | bystanders were gazing at the animal | curiously when suddenly it turned its head and bit Mr. Gibney on the ir dex finger of the left hand. Select- | man Gibney went to a nearby drug store and “first aid” remedies were applied. The digit will have to be bandanged for a few days. May Have Blood Poison. Roy Gibney is confined to hi with what may prove to be a case of blood poison. Mr. Gibney is one of star basketball players and is eaptain of the Worthington team. Last Saturday he was asked to help out a Hardware City team in a game in Forestville and consented. Dur- ing onc of the scrambles for the ball he was tripped and his knee was scraped along the floor. It incon- venienced him for but a minute and he resumed his position in the game and thought nothing more of the ac- cideni.

While nominations for state offices will not be in order for several months it is said that Plainville re- publicans are already making prepar- ations to bring the nomination for senator from the fiftn district to this totwn and the leaders of the G. O. P-, although maintaining an air of reti- cence, seemingly are confident that the plum will this time be dropped in their laps I'or a number of years Plainville has been making a bid for the sena- torial nomination but each time the delegates from other places in the district refused to listen to their av- peal and as a result the town is still awaiting its turn. It is said, however, that the leaders throughout the dis- trict have tentatively promised to give (he nomination to a Plainville man this fall and unless the plans miscarry the republicans will make their se- lection for senatorial honors from this place. ifor a long time A, H. Condell has heen angling for the nomination. Ie h been a cadidate at three different conventions but in each case the odds ainst him were so great that his ipporters gave up the fight early. In Il probability he has hopes of getting the honor yet and his friends to expect that he will loom up ain at the convention. Should Mr. Condell decide to give up his senatorial ambitions, Repre- sentative H. T. Carter is expected to toss his chapeau into the circle. It will probably be left for Plainville republicans to decide who will be se- lected from their number as the nomination is expected to come here without much of a struggle unless the political “‘double cross” manifests itself before the convention. The republicans in the district owe much to this town. Plainville al- ways returns substantial plurality for the various G. O. P. candidates, sometimes ving the district nomi- from defeat It is' conceded by district leaders that it is time a part of the debt paid and the surface indications are that the sena- torship will be given as a payment on ount a nee the was Pierson be a Nenator Martin is not expected re-election Berlin may again have a candidate but it is thought the di: trict leaders can pursuade that town, and Southington as well. to hold off until Plainville republicans have been given something in return for what they have done for the party. But One Chance Left. Taxpayers who are dissatisfied with the report of the essors have but one chance left to appeal to the board of relicf, the members of that body holdng their final puplic session on Monday afternoon. It is thought that most of those who Dbelieve they have a grievance have already made their protest and the board does not expect a very busy sion Monday. The laticr part of the board will n.eet again to act on the appeals, subsequently filing their re- port with the town clerk. It is prob- able that the amount of the reduc- tions will be small. Memorial Services, Memorial services for Mrs. Mary Tomlinson Norton and Mrs. John C. Norton will be held in the Congrega- tional church tomorrow afternoon at 2:30.

Ham, whose death oc- curred Tuesday, regarding a settle- ment of his estate owing to his failure to have a record made of a deed by which he transferred to two of his sons, Clinton and Lynn, his property in the Red Stone Hill section. Several weeks before his death Mr. Ham had the deed drawn up. He filed in in local town clerk’s office for rec- ord but was later advised that the property was located on the Bristol side of the town line and consequently the transfer would have to be put on the books in the neighboring city, 1Te left word that one of his sons would call for the papers later and the deed was left in the safe in the town build- ing. Its existence was practically for- gotten by local friends until they heard of Mr. Ham's death. It has been turned over to one of sons and will probably be filed in Bristol The the pastor, the at conditions of the transfer are not known here but there is me cu- riosity as to whether the two other sons will make an effort to contest i legality forcing a settlement of the es- tate in a manner which would cause its equal distribution. Janitor Airs His Views. The following has been received from John B, Conlon, janitor of the Town halff relative to his action in sending a bill to the office employes of the Stanley Works for the destruction of a fire extinguisher which he claims they broke during the course of an en- terfainment which they gave here on December 4th: “Editor Herald: “Dear Sir: 1 was reading the Ferald this evening and saw an item in regard to making the office force of the Stanley Works pay for a fire extinguisher they destroyed on December 4, when they gave their en- tertainment and dance. Mr. John- son knew I sent the bill as I had told him some time ago, also I spoke to him this week about it and I never would have heard from them if I hadn’t wrote to President Hart about it as they told me they would not pay the bill. T am responsible for the damage that is done in the hall as Mr. Johnson gives me full charge, as he hardly ever comes to any of the entertainments in the hall. They only broke the extinguisher but 1 the curtain ropes so the town had to buy new ropes and hire a carpenter to fix the curtain and ropes and pay the carpenter and helper two dolla and a quarter to fix it besides buying ihe rope. They acted more like hoodlums than human beings. When they could not do anything else they threw ice cream allover the hall tioor and Sunday morning I took out five bushel baskets of lilter they left scattered around. The crowd was the worst that ever held a dance or en- tertainment in the hall. They would ot dare to use Holmes and Hoff- man’s hall or Booth’s hall the way they used the hall that night or they would be arrested, but because they came over to a country town they thought they could do as they pleased. I haven't told half, but T will close, hoping you will publish this, “Yours, “JOHN E. CONLON, “Janitor Town Hall.” Bricf Ttems.
