Once more the of this town have been shown the necessity of fire apparatus for protection from the ravages of the flaming monster. Yesterday afternoon, the barn on the old Daly property on the Faur Rod highway was destroyed by fire. The structure was burned to the ground, but the officiais fee] it could have been saved from total loss, if the means of extinguishing fires were available. There seems to be con- siderable question as to the ownership ,of the property, it being saild the place has changed hands three times within the past week. The house was a two family affair, one part being occupled by William Zinke. The other part has been occupied for some time by the family of the late Jchn Bunk. Mrs. Bunk was about to move and had placed her furniture In the barn for storage until she +could find a suitable rent. The family, which is to take possession of the former Bunk tene- ment was preparing to mave in ves- terday. The family is of Polish nationality, but persistent question- Ing this morning failed to reveal the vame. There are two boys ahout five or six years old. They made an in- gpection of the barn and it is said they were playing with matches. A ~chort time after flames were seen to ieap through the roof of the barn and before help could be secured the structure was totally destroved. An effort was made to secure assistance from the New Britain fire depart- ment, but the flames had reached too great headway when the department notified The barn itself was only a frame and the loss will not be great, all of M Bunk’s furniture was totally destroyed and the loss to her vill be of some importance.

The board feels itself rortunate over this bid, for the cost rer ton will be less than in New Britain. There the cost per ton will amount ta $7.60. The board will purchase approximately 150 ton. The following bills were ordered paid: James Durkee for wood $35.00 and 1. H. Gaines, supplies, $3.90. Last winter the board was ordered by the state authorities to erect a fire escape on the Hubbard school in Hast Berlin. The escape was put up, but it leads from a window. The heavy storm came along before a door could be cut and during the summer vacation, a door will be made to take the place of the window. The matter of temperature in the school rooms was also discussed. There is a state law, ,which says the temperatute must be kept between 68 and 70. The members will consider the installing of a system to ensure the desired tem- perature and the system will be chasen at a future meeting. l Entertainment a Success, That the entertainment by the raembers of St. Paul's Sunday school, held in Parish hall last evening, was an unqualified success is evidenced by the following appreciation, which vas contributed to the Herald this morning: The many friends of the younsg | people of St. Paul’'s Sunday school, filled the Parish hall last evening and enjoyed one of the best enter- tainments ever produced by the cHil- dren of the town, one never equalled by the efforts of more mature enter- tainers and one which deserves much fine commendation. To little seven-year-old Miss Gar- rity, who made two baby attempts to | tart and had to stop because she misunderstood the crowa’s apprecia- tion, but who, at the close of the evening, came sweetly brave and de- livered in a wonderful manner her very lengthy readiny “Spell-Words, goes the unlimited praise of all Ken- sington.

Graduate from C. A. C Much local interest was manifest- ed in the commencement of the Con- necticut Agricultural college, at Storrs, yesterday. Among the grad- uates were Erwin Whitman, Alvin Holmquist and Miss Helen Aspinwall, all of this town. Mr. Whitman and Mr. Holmquist completed the agri- cultural course this term and were awarded degrees from that depart- ment. Miss Aspinwall has completed the course in domestic science Mr. Whitman will spend a short vacation with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Whitman of Kensington and later he will return to the college, where he has accepted a position as milk and cream inspector. In con- nection with the commencement ex- ercises, a judging contest was held for the members of the course. Each pupil acted as judge of cattle and told of the various points of the animals. Mr. Whitman was awarded the first prize as having served in the capacity in the best style. The prize was a young heifer, Mr- Holmquist and Miss Aspinwall have not announced their plans for the future as yet. The following lo- cal people attended commencement exercises yesterday: Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Whitman, Mrs. Lawrence Wai- kin, Mrs: Raymond Watkin, Miss Hil- da Arison, Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Holmgquist, Thelma and Mary Holm- quist and Mr. and Mrs. Charles As- pinwall. who last Julius Collins, 86. Yesterday was the eighty-sixth an- niversary of the birth of Julius Col- Iins of Hudson street. Mr. Collins was born in Glastonbury but came io this town when in his teens. IFor a number of years he followed the oc- cupation of farmer'and only relin- quished the duties of that life a few years ago. When the call from P; ident Lincoln came to the North in ’61, Mr. Collins was one of the first to answer and he fought long and well during the Civil war. He took rt in many battles, famous in history and can still give accounts of the happenings. After the war, he re- turned to this town and resumed his occupation as a farmer. During the past winter, Mr. Collins was made a victim of pneumonia, but the same spirit, which carried him through the war, denied the Grim Reaper once more. He is one of the loyal and faithful members of Stanley Post, &. A. R., of New Britain. Yes- terday his friends, and they are le- gion, expressed their felicitations on Jhis having attained the age of four vears and six, and wished him many happy returns. Suffrage Open Meeting.

Some of the friends of Judge Frank S. Neal profess to be amazed at the prediction that an inventory of his estate will show its value to be not in excess of $65,000. They have est: mated that his property, real and per- sonal, would be appraised at from $125,000 to $150,000 and they seem- | national colors sufficient knowledge of his affairs to give a fair idea of his wealth and they declare that its value will be from $62,000 to §65,000, Judge Neal was not the type of man to give his confidence to many and he rarely spoke of his personal affairs. It is now said, however, that the tune” which was generally supposed to have been left him by his father was a comparatively small amount. There was a report in circulation this morning that a contest would de- | velop before the hearing on June 20 | for the admission of his will to pro- | bate, and there is said to be some dissatisfaction over the orders for the distribution of the property. Most of Judge Neal's relatives fared well | under the terms of the will, and but little credence is given to the talk of a contest. r- Talks to White Ribboners. Mrs, Mary B.
