CIRCUS PROPERTY GOES TO BROTHERS Albert C. Ringling Possessed One- Fifth of Share in the Barnum & Bailey Outfit. Bridgeport, Aug. 8.—According to an inventory of the estate of Albert C. Ringling, part owner of the Barnum & Bailey shows and a mem- ber of the famous Ringling Brothers, circus men of world wide reputation, he left property valued at $800,000. Mr. Ringling was a resident of Bara- boo, Wis., but a lJaw passed by the last legislature compelled the filing of a copy of his will and the inventory of the estate, owing to the fact that nart of his property was within this atate, consisting of the holdings of Barnum & Bailey located on Norntan street, this city. Although the clrcus man was Te- | puted a milllonaire, his interest in the | Barnum circus was only $27,593, or | one fifth the value of the outfit. BY | the will all this is left to the remain- |ing brothers. The inventory, the {first of the kind filed in this state, | shows how the circus is valued and is as follows: Twenty-two elephants, $700 each; fifteen camels, $200 each; four ze- bras, $200 each; two polar bears, $250 each; two mountain bears, $50 each; two tigers, $300 each; cne vearling cub, $50: three giraffes, $3.- 000 each; two vaks, $150 each; seven | deer, $5 each; six zebu, $25 each: three leopards, $126 each; four h enas, $100 each: one harte beest, | 3 one tapir, $200: nine monlkeys, $7 each; one hippopotamu $2,000 one goat, $50: one rhinoceros, $2,000; addix antelope, $150; one water beck, $100; one gnu, $250; Sambur deer, $50 Other tents, property includes ropes, canvas, ¢ bullding: rdrob. ambulan erformers’ paraphernalia wagons, cages, tools, apparatus and I you are ont oY work don’t waste your time wan- dering aimlessly about mak- ing a nuisance of yourself in places where the employers | have more help than | know wkat to do with. tney I-ook in the Herald Want Columns ana see there which peopte Want your services. headquarters | | the problem of getting | ter of getting new factories to | within | hope to accomplish results | co-operation of the townspeople. | ing population | to a scarcity of labor | eociation to hold a | was appointed to make the necessary { ident of the Connecticut Elect | with Plain.vilie News HOUSING PROBLEM TOPIC AT MEETING Business Men's Directors See Need of Building Boom R.

This s due in a large measure, of course, which makes competition for help keen amang the manufacturers. The lack of suitable dwellings Is also recognized as a con- tributing cause. In New Britain one factory alone hired 2,000 men within ihree months without increasing the number of names on its payroll, the resignations were so frequent. To get a good class of men to come to Plainville to work permanently in the factories it is necessary to provide suitable homes where they may live with their familles instead of com- ruting to other places daily. There is a deplorable lack of buildings here at present and for that reason the factories have trouble in getting suit- able help. The town also suffers as its growth is hampered. The business men’s dlrectors admit that to solve the problem an organized effort must be made to start a building boom and they are now considering several plang Wwith that end in view. The ideas are yet in embryonic state but it is hoped that they will develop satisfactorily. Factory heads are greatly bothered by the freight situation and the busi- ness men’s representatives are jolning with other similar hodies in working towards amelioration of the tions. An 1s now in although August is admittedly the dullest month in the ve and the prospects of better service in the fall when the rush is on are anything but bright. The manufacturers admit that business is good but they offer the argument that there is but little use of having orders on the hooks when it is impossible to et raw ma- terial delivered to them, ang the rail- roads are unable to handle thefr out- put. With other business men’s as- soclations, the local organization pro- pases to keep up an agitation for im- proved service until the railroad makes the conditions more satisfac- tory. Presddent J. H. Trumbull presided at the meeting, having recovered from the effects of his recent operation. Reports from the varfous commit- tees, which are not vet sufficiently or- ganized to make much progress, were recelved. The utflitfes . committee advised that the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company has again resorted to the use of dimmers an the head- lights of itz cars, while they are at the local terminal, thereby minimiz- ing the danger of accidents at this point. They also Teported that they had taken up with Commissioner Ren- nett the matter of putting West Main | street In better shape. The highway is now In wretched condition. The commissioner wants the town to pav purt of the expense but as the road is a state highway the local officials do not believe that Plainville should ba taxed. The committee hopes to pre- vail on the commission to make the necessary changes. The directors accepted an invitation from the National Manufactures’ as- joint meeting with the New Bri Chamber of Com- merce at which time a lecture will be dellvered on “Conservatism of In- dustries.”” The date of the meeting will be announced later.

Must Appear in Court. in | police correspond ford police hald to the opinion that Mrs. Grace L. Diggle’s auto ran down and injured a bicyclist in that city Sunday night and they have notified the owner to appear in court to ans- wer to the charge of reckless driving, Mr. Diggle was greatly surprisel late in the evening when he received a telephone message advising him that he had been driving his machine recklessly during the day and had injured one of Stamford’s citizens. The police would not accept the expla- nation that the Diggle car was in the garage Sunday and that the owner bad not om Plainville and they suggested that he tell his story to the judge. According Stamford, 1 bicycle straved to the reports from Frederick Burt was riding ong the highway when an auto speeding from behind him ran into his machine, throwing him into the ditch. The car continued on its journey without stapping to ascertain the damage caused. Witnesses claimed to have secured the number, however, nd the figures which they gave to the with those under which the Diggle auto is registered. Hence the notification sent to Plain- ville. Mr. Diggle claims that he was pres- ent at the baseball game at Allen's | field in the afternoon and he spent the evening at home. It is thought that the witnesses of the accident erred in getting the number of the automobile, the confusion resulting. Nevertheless it appears that Mr. Dig- gle will be put to the trouble and expense of going to Stamford, ac- companied by witne to prove that he was not responsible for the | smash | Fill Vacancies Soon. According to A. L. Rogers, secr tary of the school committee, the va- cancies in the teaching staff at the | local schools will be filled before the | end of the week. The board has been negotiating with applicants for several days and Mr. Rogers states that the signatures of those chosen will probably be secured to contracts before Saturday. While a number of teachers left at the close of the Spring term, the places of all but three were filled shortly after vacation begun. Principal Judd's staff will in all probability he complete long before school reopens. Sell Property Soon. While a formal order permitting the sale of property belonging to the estate of Frank S. Neal has not as vet been given, it is reported from a reliable source that soon after the probate court gives permission, the Plainville Trust company, acting as executor of the will. will dispose of the Neal residence on Bast Main street and the adjoining land be- side egotiations have been in progress for & number of days and a transfer s expected within a week. The Trust company’s application for per- mission to sell the property will be heard Thursday morning at 9 o’clock before Judge Byington. It is not ex- pected that there will be any objec- tion. The sale of the property is in com- pliance with instructions from Judge Neal as given in his will. He direct- ed that all his holdi be ed into cash and er the distribution of legacies, the balanc is to be given to the Masonic Charities foun- dation. convert- A Toyal “White Ribboner.” In connection with the death of Mrs. Charles C. Seymour, Mrs. An- tionette L. Burt, president of the W. C. T. U. pays the following tribute. “Our ranks are thinning as one member after another passes from this life to the higher one beyond. The passing of our sister, Mrs. Rose Seymour leaves a vacant place at our meetings, as well as in our hearts. “We shall miss her as a faithful member, as well as our friend. She was our first flower mission superin- tendent, serving for many years, and carrying cheer and comfort as well as flowers to the sick and the shut-ins. “Mrs. Sevmour also served as sec- retary, taking an interest In the work, and showing herself ready at all times to help in every way. She has said, ‘T aiways want to belong to the W. C. T. U. and I want my bovs to know I am a member.’ “How we shall miss her. loss is her gain.” Camp Meeting Opens Aug. 28. Arrangements are being made by officers of the Advent Christian camp meeting assoclation for the annual session at Dunham’s grove which will | open on August 28th continuing un- ti]l aLbor day. It is generally expect- ed that this year's meeting will be one of the largest ever held and the managers expect the various sessions will be successful.

Postmaster Prior has recelved a report on the recent examination given in New Britain to applicants tor places on the clerical force in the local post office. The four young men who took the test, Messrs. Reaney and Bengston of this place and Olson and Alderman of New Britain, all secured an average of above seventy and are now on the list eligible for appointment. Assistant Postmaster C. J. Morse's decision to leave the office for the rural carrier’s place has made some changes necessary and as a result the postmaster has to appoint a new sub- tute clerk to succeed Albert H.
