Tomorrow’s football game will be between the Majors of Manchester and the Acorn A. C. The game will be played on Kingo's field and will be called for 2:30 o’clock. 1f the locals win the contest they will become state champions in the 130 pound class as the Majors hold that title at the pres- ent time. The Majors have not heen defeated for the past four years and have not been scored on in the past three so that they should make things interesting. The local boys also have a fine record this fall and not until they went up against a team that outweighed them by pounds to a man were they defeated. All interested in football should see this game as it should be a fast one from start to finish and the Acorns have an excellent chance of winning the champlonship. The probable line- up of the Acorns follows: P. Kingo, left end; J. Larditte, left tackle; Pier- pont, left guard; King, center; F. Lar- ditte, right guard; Roache, right tackle; McKeon or McCormick, right J. McCormick, quarterback; Hart,” right halfback; R. McCarroll, left halfback, and Skinner, fullback. Dance Tonight.

N. Bull, the town | 3 health officer, today announced that he feels satisfied that the disease has been contracted from contaminated milk. After an investigation which was practically concluded yesterday afternoon when Dr. Black, of the state board of health, came here to go over the situation with the local physician, it was found that the seven | people, whose lllness has been diag- nosed positively as typhoid fever, had been using milk sold by Lyman Burt and that they contracted the disease from. the fluid. Whether the milk was contaminated at the time of its dellvery or whether the germs found their way into It later is seemingly the only question on which hinges positive solution of the problem as to re the epidemic got its st As o precautionary me Dr. Bul] yesterday suggested Mr. Burt give up delivering milk pend- ing developments, advice which the milkman was willing to follow. In fact Burt accepted the sugges- tion with commandable quickness and offered no complaint, although stat- ing that the milk he sold was pure as far as he knew. Examination of Mr. Burt’s farm revealed that the place is kept in sanitary fashion. Four other farms from which Mr. Burt.gets his milk were also visited and the health officers report that they found no evidence of insanitary conditions. Drinkers of milk shakes purchased at the soda fountain in Louis Con- forti’s store appear to be the hard- est hit by the epidemic. Six of the seven people now ill with the disease were patrons of the place and at some time during the past few weeks had drank milk shakes served to them. The other patient used milk delivered at her home by Mr. Burt. Besides Rosario Pettinato, who died from the disease Monday at St. Fran- cis’ hospital, those whose llness is said to be unquestionably typhoid are his sister, Mary Rosario, who is also at St. Francis’ hospital; Lloyd Ed- wards, a patient at the Hartford hos- pital; Clifford Lee, a colored boy; William Allen of Canal street; William Hirsch of Mountain View, and M Gertrude Barnes of Broad street. The last mentioned is the only one not a consumer at Conforti's. Milk sold by Mr. Burt has been used at her home, however, and it is thought that she contracted the disease through this source. At least four other young people who had milk shakes at the store in question during the past few weeks are ill and while the attending physi- cians are not ready to state that they have made positive diagnosis of the cases, they admit that symptoms of typhoid fever have manifested them- selves. According to information secured by the health officer Mr. Burt has been delivering milk to twenty-three fam- ilies in addition to serving two stores, one of which is owned by Mr. Confor- tl. As far as Is known, Miss Barnes is the only user of milk delivered by Mr. Burt, who did not drink the milk shakes. For that reason the author- ities are not willing to state conclu- sively that the milk was infected be- fore it was delivered. Neither can they tell at this time that it was con- taminated in the store. Conditions developing in the homes of the people whom Mr. Burt has served will give the health officer a better opportunity to decide as to the original source of the epidemic. o Among those now sick, whose con- dition is causing some anxiety, Is a son of George Bryant, an ice dealer, James Foran and Clayton Lawrence.

Plans to Be Married. Mr. Lawrence is a clerk at Stmp- son’s grocery store. He is to be mar- ried tomorrow to Miss Gladys Smith of West Main street and it was said today that the ceremony has not been postponed. The young man is appar- ently only slightly ill and his relatives do not believe that he is suffering from anything more serious than grip. Some of the others have not exhibited symptoms of the disease and | the doctors are not sure that have been infected. Physicians de- clare that Miss Bugbee, who had been living at the Barnes home, and who was taken to the New Britain Gener- al hospital yesterday, is suffering from ililness other than typhoid. Pettinato Boy’s Funeral. The funeral of Roasrio Pettinato, the first victim of the epidemic, was held this morning at 9 o’clock from the Church of Our Lady of Mercy. A high mass of requiem was celebrated by the pastor, Re H. T. Walsh. There was a large attendance of friends of the unfortunate young man. Interment took place in St. Joseph's cemetery. Widow of Three Weeks Wed. Mrs. Lucy Patterson, a widow of only three weeks, and Charles Cody, the latter of New Britain, were united in marriage yesterday at the Metho- dist parsonage, Rev. W. A. Goodell performing the ceremony. Mrs. Patterson’s first husband, from whom she had been estranged for nearly two years, died in Milford in October. Carlson-O’Hara Wedding. The wedding of Miss Alice O'Hara of Elm Court and George Hermann Carlson was solemnized this morning at 11 o'clock in the rectory of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy. The couple were attended by Miss Bessie Dennery of New York as bridesmaid and Arthur O'Hara, a brother of the bride, who served as best man. Following the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the home of the pride’s father, Henry O’Hara. The couple left this afternoon on their honeymoon, which will be spent in New York and vicinity. On their re- turn they will reside on Elm court. The bride is an extremely popular young lady and has a host of friends in Plainville. Mr. Carlson is engaged in the trucking business here. He 18 held in high esteem by those who have the pleasure of his acquaintance. Addition to Station. The New Haven railroad is making arrangements to build additional plat- forms and add to its trackage in the freight yards, the intention being to increase the business at the transfer station. It is sald that the company pro- poses to make Plainville a permanent transfer- point and the working force will probably be increased to over one hundred. Fell From Train, Mrs. James Thomas of Unionville avenue, sustained painful though not serious bruises last evening when she fell from a dinky train at a point near the passenger station. The train had slowed down as it approached the depot and Mrs. Thomas, believing that it stopped to discharge passengers, | walked to the platform from whence | she was thrown off by the jolting of | the coaches. She was picked up unconscious and carried to Dr. J. O. Tanner's office, where her injuries were dressed. Bruises about the face seemed to be her only hurts althoush she suffered from the shock. Run Down by Auto. Samuel Knight, the well known photographer, is confined to his home on East Main street and is suffering from numerous contusions about the body, as the result of being run down by an automobile last evening. While Mr, Knight was crossing East Main street near the railroad crossing when an auto owned and operated by Adolph Reinas of New Britain, ran into him. The driver claims that he did not see Mr. Knight until after his | machine had run him down. The injured man was attended by Dr. J. C. Tanner, who found that while no bones were broken, he had sustajned several bad cuts and bruises. | Mr, Reinas reported the accident to the police after returning to New | Britain, Basketball Tonight. | The T.
