Drowned at Risley Pond. Francis Brayne, aged 24 years, of Kensington, was drowned in about 12 feet of water at the Risley saw- mill pond in Berlin yesterday after- noon about 2:30 o'clock. His body was not recovered until last night, the pond having been drained when an ull-afternoon search failed to bring it to the surface. Several people are said to have wit- nessed the drowning but were unable to give assistance because of the depth of the water. Brayne and his brother-in-law, a young man named Appleby, went to the saw mill to se- cure work, Brayne having been out of work for eight months. After the dinner hour, they decided to take a plung Neither of the men could swim, so they remained on a raft for a short time. Finally they dove in, evidently not knowing the depth of the water. Appleby struggled when he found himself submerged and fin- ally fought his way to safety, but Brayne was further out and his efforts to get back to the raft were without avail. It was not long before the news had spread about the town that Brayne had been drowned. A large gather- ing of Kensington people rushed to the scene, later dragging the pond for the body but with no success. Sev- eral New Britain people came to the pond to aid but the search was aban- doned and as a last resort the pond was drained Brayne leaves a wife and two chil- dren. He has been a resident of Kensington for the past few years but at one time lived in New Britain. He was well known in athletic circles and at one time was catcher on the local Y. M. T. A. & B. soclety base- ball team. When he lived in New Britain he played for the Rangers baseball team and other clubs. Jalled for Thirty Days. John Romanski o® Beckley Quar- ter was sentenced to jail for 30 days, last night by Judge G. G. Griswold in the town court for breach of peace. It appears that John remon- strated when his wife called upon Prosecutor Charles F. Lewis to come in and assist in settling family troubles. In revenge Roranski pulled a bottle of liquor from his pocket and told ‘Mr. Lewis that his wife was manufacturing the stuff at home. He was haled into court last night. A still found in the house is being held for the federal authorities. Ac- cording to Judge Griswold Roman- skl has appeared in the local court on many previous occasions. Last week he appeared in the New Britain police court, this time as a witness for the state against a New Britain saloonkeeper. He then testi- fled that he had purchased liquor at the saloonkeeper’s supposedly soft drink emporium, and as a re- priced $2.98 and $5.50.

The property in the southern section of Mountain View is owned by that factory. Col- onel Johnson was in favor of the proposed highway and announced his intention of taking the matter be- fore the proper officials at the plant The connecting of this highway with the present streets will work a great improvement for that section and will eliminate the *“dead” ends. Another improvement which will eventually be had, should the streets be connected, that mail will be de- livered by the rural carrier to all the residents. The government does not permit ‘the mail carriers to deliver mail where there are ‘“‘dead” ends on streets as it takes a great deal of time for the postman to walk down he street’ and then not be able to strike out on another highway, but be forced to wend his way back again ‘until gall the territory is cov- cred. in this respect. The Trumbull flats are fast growing and with this piece of land fully developed, that séction of the town will be built up with gratifying results. Pastor’s Salary Reduced. The estimating committee of the A. M. '®. Zion church, appointed by the pastor, Rev. E. F. Barrows, held, a meeting at the church last night. The committee is: Johr C. Baker of Arch street, New MBritain, Clifton Johnson, James Beverly and Mrs.' Julia C. Baker of Plainville. Without consulting Rev. Mr. Bar- rows with regard to the salary he v'ould be willing to accept for the year, the committee recommended to pay $150 less than he had received last year. This did not appeal to the pastor as no reason for the re- duction was given. Rev. Mr. Bar- rows told the committee that it was a decidedly poor way to show their appreciation for his faithful and in- telligent services of several years, and he would not agree to the propo- sition. The same committee’ was therefore appointed to bring in a statement next Woednesday «at 8 o'clock in tHe evening. If the pastor and the conference fail to reach an agreement on the salary, it will be decided at the first quarterly con- ference to be held on July 19, of this year. Rev. Mr. Barrows has been pastor of the local church for several years and has been successful in increas- ing the membership. The financial condition of the church is excellent, according to reports of the comm tees. Rev. Mr. Barrows was re-ap- pointed to the church at the recent Zion confcrence at New Haven. Auto Mishap. What might have resulted a serious accident this morning but fortunately turned out not to be, hap- pened on West Main street in front of Frisbie & Hemmingway's grocery store, when an automobile made a series of freak moves. The car was driven by a local man, and is a chain drive. He was drividg down West Main street towards the cen- ter when the chain or gears evident- ly became entangled and the car, a small two seater, with a sort of shimmy movement made for ‘Hem- mingway's store. A few jerks and jumps and it came to a dead stop after unsuccessfully attempting to climb the iron railing in front of the store. The car was quickly put intd shape after the gears were arranged into proper working order and with a few puffs and jerks, made its way merrily onward. Bascball Tomorrow Afternoon The Plainville A.
