GRISWOLD Will Fe Held Friday 1:30 o’Clock With Rev. S, A. Fiske Officiating—Complain of Service— Afternoon at Berlin Items of Intcrest. Postmaster W. W. Fagan returned this morning from the shrine of St. Anne de Eeaupre, Canada, where he has been spending the past few days on & vacation trip. It will be remem- bezed by many local people that the shrine of St. Anne de Beaupre s where many people have beeff cured ol blindness, lameness, etc., without taking any form of a medicine. Mr. Fagan went to the shrine one year ago this time suffering from an iliness which prevented him from obtaining a night's sleep. Previous to going to the shrine Mr. Fagan had not had a full night's sleep for about two years. He went to the shrine and after staying there the required length of time, he returned to Ken- sington a cured man and was able to sleep as well as a healthy person. Mr. Fagan s not the only member of his family to have been cured of illness at the shrine. About 20 ars ago the relic of St. Anne was il a New York church previous to removing it to Canada. Word to that effect was received here in Kensing- ton and Mr. gan’s mother was taken to New York. She was a crip- ple and it was necessary for her to £0 about in a wheel-chair if she cared to around. She was taken to the L depot in the chair and placed on train. From here it was neccssary for her to be taken to the reli- in a cab. After her visits to th~ relic she was able to walk with- out the assistance of anyone and was cured . While at the shrine this year Mr. Tagan saf that he saw a man who was paralyzed from his head down and had been that way since 1905 He was never able to sit up. Hs was placed in front of the shrine. In a very short tfme he got up out of his chair and was able to walk about. The cure, according to Mr. Fagan, cannot be worked, however, if the person does not have faith in it. It seems as though it wers hardly believable until one has seen it worked or had the benefit of its mar- As many Protestant people visit the shrine to be cured as do the Catholies.

Farmers Prosper on Tourists. .The Berlin farmers along the main turnpike from Hartford to Meriden are prospering on the tourists, thou- sands of whom pass over this’ road every day in the week on their way from New York to Boston or vice- versa. Several little shacks which were built 'near the various farm- house last year have re-opened and many more new ones have been built. At these shacks, the tourists will ind all sorts of vegetables including po- tatoes, corn, string beans and peas which can be bought at a, much cheaper rate than in the larger cities. Many tourists tell the local farm- 2rs that it is worth their time to stop it stands in small towns such as Ber- lin to purchase their vegetables. Al- hough it is an advantage to the tour- ists to be able to buy their vegetables on the roadeside and fresh from the zarden it is also an advantage to the farmer inasmuch as the latter are ible to get rid of their product with- out the expense of hauling it into the city and taking a chance on sell- ing it before the sun plays havoc with it. Both the farmers and tour- ists are pleased, and as a result bus- iness on the farms increase. Complain of Service. Many residents of East Berlin as w~ell as Kensington are dissatisfied with the service given them on the Middletown branch of the New York New Haven and Hartford line. It is the only means of transportation to East Berlin from either Berlin or Kensington unless a person owns an iwutomobile. When the new time- tables were issued the first of the month the schedule only called for ive trains in the morning from Ber- lin to East Berlin and eight in the ifternoon and evening. On Sundays ‘here are only three trains in the morning and seven the rest of the day. The residents feel that there should be more trains in the morning and particularly on Sunday when the traf- ic between the two towns is the heaviest. There was some agitation ror starting a jitney line between the two points but nothing definite has been done in this matter. Berlin Bits. A. W. Hall of Kensington left Tues- day on a vacation trip.

Civil War Dies—Red Cross Mceting Heid and Reports Made—Legion Carni- Veteran vl Tomorrow Night. Linden Ratcliffe, aged 23 years, and son of Mr. ...d Mrs. Roscoe Rat- cliffe of East Main street, was al- most instantly killed about 3:30 o'clock last night at the Farmington passenger station when he was run over by a freight train from which he was alighting. The young man is reported to have been near the back of the train. The freight was said to be going at a rapid rate of speed and the young man jumped so that his two heels would alight in the bank and stop his fall. e did not know of an abuttment which is in front of the station and he stguck it with great force. It is thOught that the shock threw nim backward with the resut that his head went beneath the wheel of one of the loaded cars. The top of the skull was cut open by the accident and death was almost instanta- neous. The body was dragged for a distance of 75 or 100 feet along the roadbed. Almost every bone in his body was broken as a result of his being dragged. The Farming- ton station carries two shifts of operators and the last man was off duty. Therefore .the accident -was officially reported to the local swa- tion where the operator got in touch with local people for aid. Dr. Phelps, coroner ' fin Farmington, viewed the remains and reported death as due to accident. 5 Young Ratcliffe was in «company with nine or ten other Plaipville boys who were presumably going up swim- ming. The freight was an: exira, No. 332, bound north, with its ‘rst gtop presumably at Simsbury. It was in charge of Conductor Hart and Engineer Lyman. The young fellows decided to get off at Farmington and all alighted without accident except the dead boy. The freight left Plainville at 8:10 o'clock and = was boarded by the boys as it passed over the Main street crossing. The young men who accompanied Rat- cliffe were: overcome by the accident and were unable to give any clear version of the affair. Ratcliffe was popular among younger element of the town. He Wwas known as a prominent _ ball player and his services were in de- mand by many reputable feams. He had been out of employment for some time and had been in the habit of swimming and playing ball with the younger element in the town. The young man had been swim- ming yesterday afternoon and his chums asked him to go to Com- pounce for a swim last night. He refused on the ground that he was going home early to go to bed. The next heard of him was the grue- some account ©of his death. The family of the young man was prostrated when informed of the ac- cident. His father is master me- chanic at Trumbull's and is a well known citizen. Besides his parents, the young man leaves one older brother, Glen, also employed at the Trumbull plant. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from the home at 2 o'clock and will be strict- ly private. Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. R. H. Burton. The young man was born in New York state. Ralph Roberts Dics Ralph Roberts, veteran of the Tivil war, died at 7:10 o’clock this morning in the Hartford hosptal at the age of 65 years.

The regular meeting of the Plain- ville branch of the Red Cross was held in the Red Cross rooms on Whiting street, Tuesday evening, and reports of the officers were read. A letter was read with reference to the work of the visiting nurse in the Plainville schools. Her work was highly commended by Principal O. L. Judd who reported that the at- tendance was much improved, due to the work of the nurse among the families of school children.
