Dows Flannery Fined $100, Daniel Flannery of Worthington Ridge was before Judge Griswold this morning, charged with having violated the liquor laws; to wit; having exposed and offered for sale on June 12, in- toxicating liquors without a license. Prosecutor William H. Gibney read the charge and Mr. Plannery imme- diately entered a plea of guflty. Pros- ecutor Gibney told the court a com- plaint had been made and Sheriff James Clark placed Mr. Flannery un- der arrest. As Mr. Flannery had en- tered a plea of guilty, the prosecutor did not put any witnesses on the stand. Judge Griswold then assessed a fine of $100 and costs amounting to $108. Must Answer Summons, Before court this morning, Judge George Griswold said in no uncertain terms that anyone who has been sum- moned to appear in court as a witness, must be present and intimated that a con?empt charge might be placed | against anyone failing to do so in the future. It has happeneqd several times in the past that witnesses have not appeared when summoned, but Judge Griswold will insist that the dates of the law be obeyed in future. man- the St. Paul’'s Entertainment.

Mrs. Por- ritt has been an ardent worker for suvffrage far a number of vears and it is certain that her remarks will prove of interest.

The entertainment in Foresters hall last Friday evening was an unqualified success and no little credit is given to the children, who participated. So in return, a fleld day will be held for them and a banquet will be served. Several athletic and acquatic events are be- ing planned. A unique feature of the affair will be a horse race by twelve teams from Grades 1 and 2. The boys will act as equines and the girls as drivers and the prizes will be reins and bells. Miss Kathryn Kiniry and Miss Nellie Keena have been ap- pointed a committee on prizes for the various events and it is certain they will bé keenly contested. All par- ents are cordially invited to attend the fleld day. The children of Miss Murray's and Miss Bassetts rooms are going to take a trip down the river some day next week. The party will leave here on the 3:30 trollev for New Britain and thence to Hartford, where they will board the boat for a sail down the Connecticut as far as Middletown.

Making some public which included remembrances to iscopal and Catholic churches, the Plainville Cemetery assciation and the Masonic Charity foundation, Judge Frank S. Neal, before his death a week ago, made arrange- ments for the disposition of an es- tate, which close friends reported to- day would inventory at approxXimately $65,000. Besides those above noted, Judge Neal remembered in substan- tial fashion, a few personal friends and several of his cousins, his near- est surviving relatives. Judge Neal was never married and at the time of his death his nearest of kin were a number of first and second cousins, the majority of whom he remembered in his will. Judge Neal’s mother was a Catholic and in her memory he gave $1,000 to the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, leaving a similar amount to the Church of Our, Saviour as a memorial to , his sister, Miss Nettie Neal. The principal beneficiaries are Mrs. Henrietta Goodrich of New Britain, who will receive $10,000 and the tes- tator’s household effects, when the estate is divided, Charles F. McCall and family, for years close friends of the judge, and the Masonic Charity foundation, which is to get the money raised from the sale of the residue of the estate- In the will Judge Neal made cash bequests amounting to $39,000 and men intimate with him in business and personal matters de- clared that the balance, which is to be given to masonic charities, will be from $12,000 to $14,000. Prior to Judge Neal's death it was estimated that his estate would in- ventory at about $1 000 He was left a snug sum by his father many rears ago and also inherited his sis- s estate. He has always been re- garded s shrewd business man and it was supposed that his wealth would be computed in six figures. Nevertheless it was learned from sources that should be reasonat authoritative that $65,000 is the max- imum amount an appraisal will show the estate to be worth. $7.000 for Chapel Under the terms of the will, which were offered today for probate by A. H. Condell as a representative of the Plainville Trust company, $7,000 is to be taken from the estate to be used in the erection of a memorial chapel in West cemetery. For many vears Judge Neal had ‘been active in the Plainville cemetery association and it was generally expected that he ould make some provisions for im- provements at the burying ground in the cvent of his death. The chapel is to be known as the Neal Memorfal chapel and is to be controlled by the cemetery associa- tion. bequests, ‘he Destroyed Old Will. will filed with the probate was drawn up during Judge Neal's last illness The document bears the date of May 21 and was signed as life was ebbing from the testator.
