The funeral of Victoria Tarditi, who was killed last Friday when R. O. Clark’s antomobile ran her down under the Kensington, raiiroad bridge, was held from St. Paul’s church this ' morning at 9 o®lock. The teachers and pupils of the Kensington Gram- | mar school, which - she attended, marched to the church in a body to pay their last respects. The pall bearers were all girl friends of the de- ceased as were the flower bearers. Burial was in the new Catholic ceme- ory, New Britain. Many beautiful’ floral tributes were in evidence show- ing the high esteem in which she was held by her young friends. Mrs. rles Miller. Mrs. Charles Miller, who formerly lived in Kensington. died at her home in Cromwell late Friday afternoon. The funeral was held this afternoon ‘lt 2 o'clock with burial in Middle- town. Mrs. Miller leaves a nephew, Richard Culver, baggagemaster at the Berlin station. Dominick Alusandrini. Dominick Alusandrini, 57 years old, who was vesterday taken to the New Britain General hospital in an uncon- scigus condition, died at that institu- tion last night at 12 o'clock. He was ill all week but the matter was not considered serlous. On Saturday night he left the house and upon his return complained of a wmevere headache. Sunday morning when a member of the family went to his room to awak- en him he was found in an uncon- scious state and had evidently been that way all during the night. Both Dr. R. M. Griswold and Dr. George Dalton of New Britain were called and the latter ordered his removal to the hospital. Up to the time of big death, he did not ver con- scjausness and it is thought that he died from ‘a shock. While arrange- ments have not been completed the burial will be in St Mary’s cemetery tomorrow ‘morning. The case is very sad and pathetic as Alusandrini has been eending his money to the old country for some time past and has alréady sent enough to bring his gvife }dA four children to this country. rom what little could be learned this morning the fmily are already on the. way to America but it will be a dark and desolate country that will greet them when they land. Eloction Tonight. The ‘most important meeting of the Joeal unit of the Home Guard will be held at 8 o'clock tomight in the town hall when officers- for the company will be elected. Every member of the giard should be present as he is en- titled to a vote 6n the question. . The names - recommended at tonight’s meeting will be forwarded to the Military Emergency Board at Hart- ford and this board will put the stamp of approval on the men elected. If all names are satisfactory the men will be given commissions by the board and they will have power to appoint the non-commissioned offi- cers of the company. Tn order that no favorites will be played every man sheuld be on hand to cast his vete when the tinmie comes. There are a number of good men that have had extensive military training that be- long to the company and it is sich meén as these that should be elected to office. While there has been some feeling expressed in the matter there has been no cause for the same and this is shown in the manner that the men are to be selectéd. There is a possibility that a !hlll:t drill will fol- low the election. Church News.

Plalnville News FIND MANGLED BODY (ONRAILROAD TRACK | Unidentilied- Man Was Probably Killed by Freight Extra MOTORCYCLE RAMS INTO POLE ‘Victim of Train May Have Been Brass Ml Employe—Forestville Man In- Jured—Offers Land for Gardens— Imperial Entertainers 1o Open Fair, ‘ Continuing his efiorts to secure identification of the man whose mangled body was found on the rail- road tracks between the passenger station and the Fast street crossing early yesterday morning, Medical Examiner C; W. Moody went to Bristol late this afternoon to make inquiries at the plant of the Bristol Brass company regardin a meal ticket, issued to “F. Ryan,” which was discovered in a packet of the victim’'s clothes. The ticket is the only clue on which the authorities have to work and unless the officials at the brass mill can give some information con- cerning its owner, it is doubtful if the body will ever be identifled. The lifeless form was discovered about 2 o'clock in the morning by one of the crew on a switcher. Its con- dition indicated that the man had been struck by a train, probably an extra east bound freight, which passed through the town about mid- One arm had been cut off and the neck was broken, the appearance of the body indicating that death had undoubtedly been instantaneous. The man seemingly was about thirty years of age and was probably a laborer of the floating type. That he may have come from:the west was indicated by his clothing which bore the mark of a store in Idaho. Following the discovery of the body Dr. C. W. Moody was notified. He turned the remains over to W, A. Bailey and company to prepare for burial \There is a belief that the man had been emploved in the brass mill and may hdve been walking to East Bristol, after having spent the early evening either in New Britain or Plainville, when he was run down by the train, i Medical Examiner Moody has or- dered that burial of the remains be delayed for a few days in the hope that identification may be made. Motorcyclist Injured, John Kalanski of Forestville, sus- tained multiple abrasions about the bady late yesterday when the motor- cycle which he was riding crashed into a pole on Forestville avenue, the impact of the collision throwing him into the street. With a friend Kalan- ski was riding tandem through Plainville when the rear tire on his motorcycle exploded, the machine swerving into the ditch and crashing into the pole. Kalanski was rendered Thelpless and it was at first thought that he had been badly injured. Dr C. . Moody was summoned and after an examina- tion, he took the young man to his home, none of the injuries being of a serious character. The Forestille man’s companion escaped with but a few scratches. The motorcycle was badly damaged. Offers Land For Gardens. /Charles H. Norton of Worcester, formerly of this place, has written to the Plainville Trust company, advising the officials of the bank of his willing- ness to give the use of his land on Reéd Stone Hill for cultivation for crops this summer in an effort to help relleve the food situation. Pro- viding some organization or set of men will take up the proposition, Mr. Norton has offered, not only the land itself, but the services of men in his employ in ploughing it. He will in addition furnish the fertilizer re- quired. ‘In hie letter Mr. Norton expresses the wish to do something to insure the gathering of good crops this fall, With others he realizes the seriousness of the food situation and the possibilities in the event of the war continuing for any lengthy period and he is willing | to donate the land to be cultivated. A. A. McLeod, treasurer of the bank, to whom the Jetter was ad-) dressed, has called a ‘meeting of the selectmen and citizens who_have had experience as farmers, to be_ held to- night at which time Mr. Norton's bdf- fer will be considered. There are other property owners willing to glve the free use of their land to people who are anxious to plant gardens this summer but who have no suitable places of their own, Plainville people seemingly are to be given a chance to respond to Pres- ident Wilson's plea for big crops this vear and all who are willing to give up-a part of thelr time to the culti- vation of gardens, that the cost of 1iving may be kept from soaring high- er and for the welfare-of the country itself, will have an opportunity to do so witljout going to any expense other ‘than the cost of seed.’ Piremén’s Fair.
