Damage in Abbetz House Last Night May Reach $300. Fire caused damage estimated at be- tween $200 and $300 last night to a Ash, owned by Adolph E. Abetz. Spontaneous combustion in a pile of rags left during recent renovating of the building is considered to be re- sponsible. The fire was discovered in the attic, worked its way down between par- titions and it was necessary to tear away consiaeranle of the clapboards before it was finally extinguished. Tenants fled into the cold, Box 23 was sounded, calling out Engine Com- panies No. 1, 2 and 3 with Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1. Policeman Joseph Kennedy reported to headquarters last night that the | glass in Box 7 of the fire department | circuit had been broken. 'An Attack of Grip Always Leaves K dneys In VVefikgggp Condition Doctors in all parts of the country have been kept busy with the epidem- ic of grip which has visited so many homes. The symptoms of grip this year are often very distressing and leave the system in a run down con- dition, particularly the kidneys which seem to suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglected, as these danger signals often lead to dangerous kidney troubles. Druggi: report a /large sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many people say soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an attack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great kidney, liver and bladder rem- edy, and, being an herbal compound, gentle healing effect on the kid- s, which is almost imnwediately no- ticed in most cases by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., offer to send a sample size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt of ten cents, to every sufferer who requests ASSAULTED MOTHER AND LITTLE SISTER Zadrowski Given Thirty Days in Jail to Repent Branded by Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett as ‘‘one of _those fresh fellows who ought to get a taste of jall,” Stephen Zadrowski, 19, of 870 Elm street was sentenced to thirty days by Judge John H. Kirk- ham in police court today for a brutal assault upon his invalid mother and little sister, Ellen. Smiling in a superior manner at the court officials, he pleaded not guilty but refused to make any statement in his own de- fense. His mother, Mrs. Guida Za- drowski, trembling and showing the effects of age and illness, testified that Stephen was in the habit of coming In after midnight in an ugly mood and causing much rampus. Last night, she testified, he came in, had been drinking and was unusually ugly. He seized a chair, threatened to kill Ellen and, as he started to hit her over tse head. the witness interfered. According to the testi- mony, he seized her by her arms with such force that black and blue marks were clearly seen this morning, threw her to one side and then dashed her to the floor with violence. His sister testified that she met him on the street last night, that he was walking with a girl and, as he had clearly been drinking, she advised him to come home, at least, early. This advice caused him to fly into a rage and he threatened to ‘get even” with her. Policeman William P. McCue, pa- troling a Hartford avenue beat, was called to the house by neighbors. As he approached Paradise park, he noted Stephen hurriedly crossing it and attempting to avold being seen. A short chase and Stephen was in custody and taken back home where his weeping mother, on the verge of a mental and physical breakdown, made the complaint against him. To Deport Woman From City. Mrs. Annie Usavage of 141 Chestnut street, subject of much attention from the police and charities departments of late, made, what the ' authorities hope, will be her last appearance in a local court. Carrving one of her six children in her arms, she appeared as non-communicative as ever and as ob- stinate. She was technically charged with violation of probation but will be taken back to her former home in ‘Wilkes-Barre, Pa., by a representative of the state comptroller's office this afternoon. It was stated by Probation Officer Edward C. Connolly that her husband, John Usavage, is now serv- ing a jail sentence and no one is re- sposible for the support of the family. She was fined $30 and costs Novem- ber 28, 1916, for assaulting a neigh- bor so gderiously with the contents of a -kettle of boiling water that hospital treatmentwas necessary for her vic- tim. Since then Probation Officer Connolly and the charities officials have been unable to do anything with her. She is the mother of six children, two of which are now serving refor- matory sentences. Pending the arriv- al of her guide to Pennsylvania, she was taken to the town farm for safe keeping. Michael Sunday, also known as Sunta, not affiliated in any way with the Rilly Sunday organization but . a “gentleman of color from the shores of Portugal,” was fined $5 without costs for celébrating New Year’s day unwisely but too well. ITe recently came to New Britain to work on the new country club property. “I came from Hartford, got drunk and was pulled in,”” explained Joseph Kozie in explaining his condition yes terday. Furthermore Joseph had $10 vesterday, he told the court, but not even a sign of it today. His explana- tions was given with descriptive ad- jéetives not found in Sunday school rituals or even court oaths. His fine was $5 with costs. ELKS GIVE 1917 A START. Make Merry With Dance and S At Washington Street Home, New Britain Elks and their friends did not sce the New Year in, as has been the custom, but they gave it good impetus at an informal dance and supper last evening at the Elks’ Home on Washington street. If 1917 pper s o Curtiiters v £ Gomries s of trouble it will not be the fault of the Elks as they did their best to starl it off on the straight and narrow path and gave it a push to keep it there, Dancing began ear! and continued until 1 o'clock this morning. A varied program was offered, the very latest for the younger set and the more stately waltz and two-step for the sedate who take thelr dancing seriou It was a merry, mirthful gathering and the wusual Elks' spirit was in the air. So good a time was everyone having that many had forgotten there was any place like home until the musicians reminded them of the fact. During the evening a turkey supper was served in the rathskeller, J. Fred Eppler doing the catering. 1t was the concensus of opinion that 1917, at least thus far, had shown in the evening | himself to be a very pleasant sort of a person who promises to become very popular as the public becomes better acquainted with him.

PPLES, ORANGES, FIGS AND PRUNES Are The Four Frults Used In Making “Frult-a-tives “FRUIT-A-TIVES’’ is the only medicine in the world that is made from the juices of fresh ripe fruits. Thus, it is manifestly unfair to say, “I won’t take Fruit-a-tives because I have tried other remedies and they did me nogood”. On the other hand, the fact that ‘“‘Fruit-a-tives’ is entirely different Jrom any other preparation in the world, is just why you should give it a fair trial, in any trouble of the Stomach, Liver, Bowels, Kidneys or Skin. “Fruit-a- tives”, s composed of the actrve principle of fruit and the grealest nerve tonic ever discovered. 50c. a box, 6 for $2.50, trial size, 25c.

HAPPY NEW YEAR— BUT NOT FOR SOWA Roll of $10 Mysteriously Disappears and Hole in Pocket Is Under Suspicion, A hole in a pocket of a pair trousers worn by of Max Sowa of 664 North street yesterday during a cele- bration of the New Year proved costly to Sowa, got Stephen Caro into Judge John H. Kirkham's class of delin- quents today and caused considerable work for a number of policemen yes- terday. For through this hole, an extremely small one either, not dis- appeared Sowa's entire savings, a roil of $40 and it caused Caro’s arrest on suspicion of having “lifted” the roll. Caro was in such a condition that he later had a charge of intoxication brought against him. He said that he was a permanent guest of the Hotel Bronson. That availed him nothing and he received a fine of $10 and costs, With Sowa on one arm-and a New Year’s friend on the other, Caro en- tered police headquarters yesterday af- ternoon. It was some time before House Officer A, C. Malone could get the gist of the trouble, Then ‘he learned that Sowa missed his $40 and had determined thgf. Caro had a ‘“‘tall, skinny ‘companion,” who mysteriously disappeared. Caro was searched, even to his boots and stockings without a sign of the money being found. Detective Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth and Detective A. J. Richardson started on the trail at once. They failed to locate the ‘“‘tall and skinny friend” but did locate the hole. It was decided that was the evidence. Sowa left headquarters deciding that it was a fine New Year's greeting. JANUARY SOCIAL FUNCTIONS Occupy an important tertainments.
