A. | Freeman Resting Comfortably. Having tentatively selected the locations “for thirty new incandes- cents which the recent town meeting authorized the selectmen to contract for, W, J. Johnson, chairman of the board, this morning conferred with Manager Atwater of the United Elec- tric Light and Water company re- | garding the matter of placing them i in position but was advised that | owing to a delay in the shipment of | parts of the equipment it | will be impossible to make any | promise as to when the work will be | done. The parts in question were or- | dered in January and their receipt is expected dalily. Manager Atwater promised to have of men start placing the new | lamps as soon as the materials are received. | Selectman Johnson said today that | the plan is to put the new light where they will give service to the townspeople rather than autoists and for that reason most of them will be | placed on the outskirts where they will be of benefit to men who have of employment early in the morning, Next year it may be impossible to consider the suggestion that ad- citional lamps be put in the center of the town but for the time being petitions of this character will have to be rejected. The distribution of the new incan- descents will probably be as follows: One at the East Main street railroad crossing, five on Farmington avenue, the last to be near St. Joseph's ceme- tery; two on Cooke street, three or four on the New Britain road, two on the highway knwn as Crooked or Hamlin road, one on Tomlinson avenue, two on South Washington street, one on Broad street extension cr Chestnut street as it is sometimes called, one on Bohemia street between West Main and Broad streets, three on North Washington street, three on Unionville avenue and three on Camp street. The layout will take in most of the petitions for new lights which the selectmen Teceived although the number of lamps asked for in some cases had to be reduced. May Settle Suit. Selectman Johnson went to Hart- | ford this afternoon to confer with | Judge W. F. Henney regarding the settlement of litigation between the town and the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company over damages for the trees killed by gas a few years ago. The town sued for $5,000 and won the first point in the superior court when the company’s demurrer to the action was overruled, the jurge main- taining that while the trees actually belonged .to the property owners, the | town had an interest in them inas- much as they served for protection for the highways and also helped to beautify the streets. The company is now said to be willing to consider the matter of cettling the case out of court and the selectman was invited to talk with JTudge Henney, the town’s counsel, re- garding a compromise. Should the defendant make a reasonable offer, the trouble can be amicably settled as the town is not anxious to assume the expense which prolonged litigation would entail. Civil War Veteran Dead. Word was received here this morn- ing of the death of George Lackey, a resident of Plainville, which cccurred last evening at the Soldiers’ Home in Noroton. Mr. Lackey had been an inmate of the institution for the past year. His health had been failing for some time and his death was not unexpected. He leaves three sons and two daughters, Arrangements for the funeral have not as yet been made. Mr, Lackey was seventy-three years of age and was a veteran of the Civil day and made a very favorable im- pression, The Tuesday evening prayer meet- ing will be held at the home of Mrs. Charles Williams at 7:30 o’clock. The Epworth league will hold a business meeting and social hour Thursday evening at 7:45 o’clock, On Friday morning at 10:45 o'clock there will be a union service at the Congregational church.

According to reports from Hartford hospital, where he is a patient, the condition of Edward A. eman of this place was entirely satisfactory this mornng. Mr. Free- man had his leg amputated near the knee Saturday. He rallied well after the operation and has since been comfortable. Attending surgeons report that the brospects of his recovery are good, providing there are no unlooked for | develpments in his case. Both Justice A. H. Condell and Jus- tice E. P. Prior were busy vesterday, the police having rounded up « quin- tet of drunks Saturday night, Justice Condell had three of the ses. Arraigned before him, with S. Gwillim prosecuting, were Jack O'Hare, a well known local character; John Dante, of Forestville, and Gus Anderson. The latter paid a fine of $5 and costs and Dante settled an as- sessment of $1 and the expense of prosecution. O’Hara was bound over to the superior court as a common drunkard. An effort will be made to have him sent to the state farm for inebriates at Norwich. Justices have the author- ity to commit prisoners to the place, but when such action is taken the towns from which the men are sen- tenced must pay $4 a week for their board. The expense is borne by the state when the sentence is imposed in the upper court. Sentences of sixty days in jail, the execution of which wa suspended, were imposed by Justice Prior on Ed- ward Dalton of Springfield, and Daniel Cahill of Barre, Vt, who were ar- raigned on charges of breach of the peace and trespassing on railroad property. The men were taken into | custody by Railroad Officer Charles Grace. They had been loafing around the transfer station for the past few days and refused to leave when or- dered. The officer told the court that they were making nuisances of them- selves, and he found it necessary to lock them up. Each was given a sen- tence of thirty days in Jail on two counts, but the court agreed to sus- pend judgment on condition that they stay away from Plainville. They seemed to be more than willing to | obey the order. New Pastor Arrives. Rev. W. Waldo Weller, the new pas- tor of the Methodlst church, arrived in town unexpectedly Saturday night and was present at services in the church yesterday. He was given a most cordial welcome by the members present, Mr. Weller had been spend- ing the past year in Europe. He land- ed in New York Saturday and at once came to Plainville. Rev. E. A. Dent of New Haven, the district superintendent, had advised the official board that the new pastor was In Scotland and would not get here for two or three weeks. Conse- quently the members were greatly sur- | prised when they were presented to | him at the services yesterday. Mr. Weller made a most favorable impression on those who came in con- tact with him. He expects his wife and son to come here in a short time. They will make their home in the Methodist parsonage on Broad street. Plan Union Services.
