Comedy of Frror: A modern “domeédy of error acted near here the other evening, William H. Gibney and “Jack" Har being the principal characte Mr. Gibney and Mr. Hart were driving towards Berlin from Kast Berlin Sat- urday evening during the rainstorm. The - roads were treachcrous and traveling was difficult. Mr. Hart was driving up Caesar’'s Hill when Mr. Gibney discovered the machine was on fire. The car was stopped and efforts made to put out the fire. The gained headway, however, and Mr. Gibney and Mr. Hart ran away from the car, fearing the gasoline tank would explode. A. A North came along at this time and was halt- ed by Mr. Gibney who asked for a fire extinguisher. Mr. North told him if the fire was at the gasoline tank, sand or mud was the only thing that would stop it. Mr. Hart and Mr. Gibney then scooped up mud enough to fill a scow, but the fear of the gasoline tank was too much for them, so they dropped the mud. About this time Mr. Johnson, who lives near by, came with his lantern to see what caused the trouble. Ie “get away from the machine” or be “blown to eternity.” Automobiles from both directions were being halted by Mr. Hhrt and Mr. Gibney, who explained it was only a matter of minutes before the machine would *“go up.” Many automobiles no one ventured near the burning car for fear of the imminent explosion. After several minutes waiting Mr. Johnson with his trusty lantern, went over to the burning car to see if he could put out the He noticed the flames were not near the tank but were burning the upholstery so he im- mediately proceeded to drench the flames with water, while the mob stood a hundred feet’away looking on in amazement. When Mr. Gibney and Mr. Hart saw the fire was out they ventured near the machine. After seeing the engine was all right and would run they tried to start it but without success. After several minutes Mr. Hart discovered his gaso- line tank was empty. Leaving Mr. Gibney in charge he went around the neighborhood and finally obtained a quart of “gas.” Mr. Hart was nervous after the excitement of the evening and only about a pint of the fluid got into the tank. the rest spilling over.

In less than a second Mr. Hart and Mr. Gibney put several rods between themselves and the machine, thor- oughly convinged the machine was a “goner.” " But the fire went out as soon as it started. With renewed courags | they approached the machiie, but could not start it. It was found the pint of “gas” would not feed the en- gine, so Mr, Hart set out for more.

The petition was pr school board a few day mands an increare of $200 for each teacher. Iivery teacher the school signed the petition. There are twenty instructors and if the de- mand is granted it will result in an increase of $4,000 in the year's tax budget. The reason given for the presentation of the petition is the rapid increase in the cost of living. Orrin L. Judd, principal of the Grammar school, is not included in the twenty teachers mentioned above. Mr. Judd did not ask for an incr in salary. Irank G. Osborne, a mem. ber of the school committee, stated this morning that Mr. Judd was op- posed to the circulation of such petition and attemptedd to diss the teachers from their course action, but without effect The estimate of school which is compiled each year, in the hands of the assessors and they have compiled the list in accordance with the original budget. The decision on the, ques- tion of teachers' salaries will have a pronounced effect on the grand list and probabiy on the tax rate for the cnsuing year.

The contracts were signed in the usual order before the opwing of school. “Tt seems rather like a hold-up,” Mr. Oshorne said, “for the teachers to present such demands at this time.” The school board is likely to consider the action as a declded breach of zood faith and a stormy meeting is likely to he the result of the demands of the. in_ strinetors.
