Michael Mullaney, has select- ed Plainville as his future home. He sailed from England, arriving here a few days ago. He will make his home with Mr. and Mrs. Frank John- son of Bank street, who are his cousins. Mr. Mullaney is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Mullaney, now of England, and comes from Wigan, Lancashire, England. His father had been a resident of Southington for almost ten years, having left there about 30 yvears ago to make his home in Engiand. Mr. Mullaney also has relatives in New Britain and Bridge- port. He intends to work in the Standard Steel and Bearings, Inc., be- ing a mechanic by trade. During the recent World War, Mullaney enlisted in the English nav: and was put on the ship ‘“Warspite. He was then 15 years old, but a husky for his age. While on the “Warsypite,* he was in the famous battle of Jut- land when there were more than 400 men killed and some 300 men wound- ed. Mullaney, himself received 17 wounds and lay in a hospital for more than six months. He served as a police officer later, in Bolton, Eng- land, for about 19 months. On one of his travels on the famous warship, they sank four German warships, three destroyvers and one submarine. Mr. Mullaney is of a cheerful dis- position and has a pronounced Eng- lish accent. He likes Plainville, and has already made many friends. Funeral of Luke Weich.

What might have turned out to be disastrous fire in the business center of the town this morning when a fire was discovered in the Palace of Sweets candy store on Central Square, was quickly extinguished by the lo- cal firemen. As it was, a small dam- age resulted from water, when a stream was directed through the ceil- ing of the Hotel Clarendon which is apove the store, into the Palace of Sweets. The fire started from a short circuit in the electric wires on the ceiling of the store and crept through the floor into a room of the hotel above. The proprietor, seeing the flames, ran across the street into the Plainville Engineering company store and asked one of the men to come over to the store. Rend Brault, with- out knowing there was a fire, accom- panied him, and the propristor, ar- riving at the store, pointed to the blaze. Brault quickly realized othe danger and sent in an alarm for the fire department, meanwhile, running back to the store and getting an axe from the wall. ran over to the fire and hacked a hole through the ceil- ing. This act possibly prevented the fire from going further up the walls and averted a serious fire. The alarm was sent in about 8§ o'clock. The Hotel Clarendon and Palace of Sweets is owned by the Saharra brothers. Fidelberg Case Heard. H. N. Wright of No. 490 East street, New Britain. was given a hear- ing in the Plainville town court at 7:30 o'clock last evening on charges of assaulting Bernhardt Fidelberg, gateman at the st Main street Bernhardt claims that r struck him a blow on' the cheek when he did not raise the gates immediately after a train of freight cars had passed.

When Wright was called to the stand to testify, he claimed that he was an old friend of Fidel- berg and didn’t realize that he had struck him so hard. Fidelberg re- plied, “If that's the way vou treat vour friends, T wouldn’'t want to be your enemy.” He claims that he does not know Wright. Dr. E. R. Whitte- more of New Haven. physician for the N. Y., N. H. & H. railroad sent in a written certificate of the injur- ies received from the blow. An X-.ray was taken of the man’'s jaw bone.
