Was $200, urniture sections reduced for this nouncements of caucuses to appoint various men for town offices, The main issue this fall is that of filling the town clerk's office. This office has been only temporarily filled since the death of Town Clerk Rob- ert Cleveland Usher on April 30,and a permanent one will be elected in Oc- tober. The term of office held hy Mr, Usher expires this fall. Now, for first time since 1869, a new name will bhe presented on the voting machines, The name of Mr. Usher had always been on the machines, he having been put up by both parties. It is belfeved that the run for that office will be hotly contested by both the republicans and democrats, and the race will be watched with inter- est. Tt is generally understood among the politiclans that it will be difficuit to have a representative of their party selected who will take the of- fice as a whole day position. Until recently, Mr. Usher had worked there on part time, but since the war, the business has increased to such an ex- tent that all his time and some ex- ‘ra was necessary. The salary how- ever did not increase and that part of it is believed to be a drawback. —— L —— M Berlin News THREE INJURED IN TURNPIKE ACCIDENT New York Automobile Crashes Into Massachusetts Car LEGION OFFICIALS NAMED New Haven Man Will Act as Referee at Tr‘lck Meet and Atheltic Outing Next Saturday—Delegates to State Convention—Notes About Town. Walter 8. Comby, his wife and daughter, were injured this morning as the result of an accident on the Berlin turnpike at about one-fourth of a mile north of the Meriden town line. Other occupants of the car, in- cluding the chauffeur, were badly shaken up and all were attended by Dr. T. C. Hodgson of this town The injured people were from Port Chester, N. Y., and riding north on the turnpike when their machine struck a Ford touring car owned and driven by Francis Norris of Worces- ter, Mass. The Buick, which was owned by the New York party, struck the Ford with such violence that it knocked off one of the wheels and the Ford in turn struck a touring car which was being driven by State Po- liceman Frank Verelli, who was rid- ing directly in back of the Buick car. Sergeant Verelli brought the in- jured to the town hall, where Dr. Hodgson was called, as well as Prose- cutor Lewls. The sergeant told a Herald reporter that he had been fol- lowing the New Yorkers from Monte- wese near New Haven, and at no time was he able to pass them because of the rate of speed they were traveling. He said that they were going The accident happened, the ser- through the city of Meriden at 30 miles an hour. The accident happened, the serg- geant said, when the New York car came to a place in the turnpike Wwhere a truck was stalled on the left side of the road, and the Ford was coming from the north, The Buick, accord- ing to the state policeman, was more in the center of the road rather than to the extreme right of the road. As a result the Ford car was struck and turned around by the force of the blow as well ag having one wheel taken off. The Ford in turn struck the sergeant's car, which was direct- ly in the rear, and the Buick over- turned, dumping all of the occupants on to the highway. Chauffeur Not Hurt. The chauffeur escaped {injury, while Mr. Combhy recefved geveral bad gashes on his right arm and leg. His wife was cut about the face by flying glass of the windshield of the big car, and the daughter was hurt on the leg. Alvin Larson of Port Chester was the driver of the Comby car. Mr. Lewls arrived at town hall, and Mr. Larson, driver, was ordered to ap- pear in the town court this evening at 7:30 o'clock on a charge of reck- less driving. He was released under bonds of $100. Both automobiles, which were badly wrecked, were ta- ken to Meriden. Mr. Comby is manager of sales and assistant treasurer of the Russell Burdsell and Ward Bolt and Nut fac- tory in Port Chester, while Mr. Nor- ris, driver of the Ford, is a maker of bird's eye drawings of factory plants of Worcester, Maes.

Harry McKeon and George Hultquist were appointed as delegates. The affair will be held in the Brass City on Sep- tember 8 and 9. The various sub-committees charge of the events to be staged the athletic outing on Saturday of next week were read and proved of interest to those gresent. Progress is reported by all and everything points to August 19, being a big day in the history of Berlin. The prizes for the various events are expected to arrive in town shortly and will be placed on exhibition in one of the local stores.

Mr, Lyons is well known in Kensington, where he conducted the barber shop now owned by Patsy Sistl and where he has liver the major part of his life. Frevious to being taken to the hos- pital he was employed by Paul Vogei at his barbershop in New Britain. Politics Appear Dead As yet there has been little interest shown on the part of the Berlin resi- dents in regards to the town elections for the coming fall. Those who have voiced their opinfond in the matter state that it is the consensus of opin fon of many that those who are hold- ing offices at the present time will he re-elected in the fall. There had heen some talk about former eSlectman Willard Alling running for the berth again this year, hut this was "knock- ed in the.head"” when Mr. Alling stat- ed that he would not he a candidate. News in Brief. Joseph Sisti, an employe Berlin Construction company under- went an operation this morning at the New Britain General hospital for rupture. Mr. Sisti was injured while of the and Martin Welsh, of New Britain, timers and H. A. Griswold of the New Britain Herald, scorer. Announcement was made to the ef- fect that the tennis matches to bhe played will be between the Kensing ton and Berlin players and not the Fast Berlin players, as previously an- nounced. Arthur Benson is in charge of the tennis matches. y The meet has caused quite a bit of cxcitement throughout the state and trom present indications it will be the drawing card for a large number of people to Berlin on that day.

Digging Machine Is Stuck The machine empioyed by the Dris- coll Construction company, in digging the ditches for the water mains of the Kensington fire district is stuck at the foot of Main street near the Beach Swamp road. The machine became stuck yesterday when it struck a soft spot in the ground, caused by the re- cent raing and sank into the mud for a distance of about three feet, It {s not expected that the machine will be put into use again for several days. It was learncd this morning that the Driscoll company will not be able to use the machine in digging along the Beach Swamp road from Farm- ington road to Towers' corner, in New | Britain, because of the trolley tracks on the side of the road. The work, which will be done on the west side of the road, will be all by hand, such ax the Curtis Construetion company is doing for the Worthington fire dis- triet on Farmington road near the trolley tracks.
