belleved some would be forthcoming shortly, John H. Trumbull, John B. Minor and Charles H. Newton were appoint- ed a committee to make a survey of the coal conditions In town and get an ldea of the amount every home has on hand or some method by which they can appeal to the state fuel ad- ministrator so that when coal {s ship. ped, Plainville wHl get its ehare. Mr. Phelps, in speaking of the sit- uation, mentioned the fact that the scheol here has but about 15 or pos- sibly 20 tons of coal now on hand. The chool consumes a great deal dur- | Ing the year and hundreds of tons are needed there every few months, He | belleves that soft coal will have to be burned there this term in order to | meet the requirements the state law | issues, Mr. Phelps has an accurate, tabu- lated record of the amount of coal used in practically every home in | Plainville and has an idea how much is burned by the average person run- ning their household, quoting (romi the deliverics he has already made | them in past winters. With this report, he can estimate how much coal is |needed here to tide them over for | a period unti] the strike can be set- tled. The transportation difficulties play an important part in the coal deliverfes said M1, Phelps and when this gets better, he believes some coal can be secured, Want New Blinker The chamber of commerce also voted to recommend to the board of selectmen, the advisability of erecting a new blinker traffic light at Blos. som's Corner. This section, situated at East street, Farmington avenue and | New Britain avenue, has heavy traf- fic and the commerce officials feel that better protection is needed there not only for the welfare of the townspeo- ple who have automoblles, but for the other autoists who pass there daily. A report on the recent outing was also handed in which showed the af- fair to have been a success and a bal- ance realized from the receipts. A good time was had by all, which means most to the local chamber. Farmington Meeting The Scott Swamp district's fight for improvement of the eight acre road, which was supposed to be set- tled at a Farmington town meeting lagt night, is still up in the air. There were 200 or more at the meeting and the debate was well under way when someone questioned the legality of the call. The result was that the meeting was indefinitely postponed, without {action and the Scott Swamp residents will now set about to issue another call. The call in question was for “a spe- cial meeting of the voters in the first voting district,” etc. The contention | was that this excluded the second vot- ing district voters, while Joseph Fa.

Mr. Winninger died of a fractured skull received in an au- tomobile accident while he was tour- ing Maine with his wife. Complete detalls are missing with the excep- tion of three telegrams forwarded | here, telling of the accident briefly. It is reported that the local young man was driving through Monson, Maine, with his wife on Wednesday night of this week, at the time of the |acctdent. As far as can be learned, his ma- chine overturned on an embankment and landed in a stream at the base of the hill, pinning the unfortunate vic- times under the car.

BRENMAN INTOWN I1 YEARS Priest of St Paul's Church of the Progressive Type CYOTERS SET FOR CAUCUS ‘Women Are Urged by Men to Attend | Political Gathering in Town Hall This Evening—Much Soft Coal Ar- rives—News in Brief. Rev. John C. Brennan, pastor of St. Paul's church in Kensington, will observe his 11th anniversary as pas- tor of the local church on Sunday. Father Brennan came to Kensington in September, 1911, and during his | |time only, and it w | satisfied REV, BRENNAN. J. ¢ stay in this town has made many friends, not only among his own congregation, but among many of the Protestant residents. & Father Brennan observed his 25th anniversary as a priest on June 12, at| which time his parishioners presented him with a large purse, Special services were held in the church on| Sunday, June 11. Father Brennan was ordained into the priesthood at St. John'’s Laterans church In Rome, on June 12, 1897, by Cardinal Par- rochi. He was a student for five years at the American Academy in Rome and in 1891 gradmated from the Manhattan college in New York with the degree of A. B, His first appointment was at the St., Francis church in New Haven. Later/ he was sent to Bristol and Lakeville, and then came to Kensington, When he arrived in this town St. Paul's ehurch was a frame structure on Main street near the American Paper Goods company plant. The mor gage on the church at that time | $4,000, This church was destroyed | by fire on®March 4, 1913, and (Pn‘l weeks later land was purchased for the erection of a new edifice. Until the new church was ready gervices were held in the old Parish hall.

Active Worker. Father Brennan has always been a nadtive worker for the best intetr- ests of the town and- since coming to Kensingtton has at various intervals, sought to have lights and water brought into the district. He recalls that when he first came here there were no street lights and the people never dreamed of water. | He later made arrangements with the American Paper Goods officials v.oJ light certain sections of the town buL" this plan was carried out for a short s necessary for a| few individuals to carry the burden| of paying for the lights. Father Brennan said this morning| that it is more than pleasing to hlm‘ to see the street lights installed in| Kensington and the laying of the| water mains which in a short time will supply the town with water. Iiej aid that the people realize that n} js only the modern methods that| make a town grow and these are| what Kensington has needed for al long time. | | Caucus Night, What is considered by a majority of voters to be the biggest political night of the year is tonight, when ihe republicans as well as the demo- crats will, at a caucus, nominate their candidatas for town offices. It may be the greatest night in the| minds of many but even some of the most skeptical of this class are in- clined to believe that there is no cause for excitement over the re- sults of the gathering this evening & it is not thought that there willl be a great contest such as there ha been in years gone by. | Politics in Berlin, with the pos- sible exception of the question “Who will occupy the scat in the legisla- ture,” has caused littie or no in- terest among the voters. It appears from what has been heard on all sides that most of the taxpayers are with the present town ad- ministration. On the republican ticket George Carter has announced himself as a candidate for re-election as first se- lectman and C. F. Lewis is a candi- date for re-election as tax collector. | There yhave been no other candi- dacies announced on this ticket and none at all on the democratic ticket. ‘When election time first drew near it was prophesied by many prom- inent democrats that this was a democratic year and that the local democ would spring a surprise on the pesidents of Berlin. Most of them are still waiting for the sur- prise and believe that the democrats| will have to hurry if they want to get anything over. Women Urged to Attend. The women in particular are urged to attend the caucus tonight and to volce their approval or disapproval| over the candidates nominated. A large number of women turned out| at the caucus last year and the mrl\i are in hopes that their interest in politics has not waned and that a large delegation of the fairer sex will | B a : Work has been started in repair- | ing Main street in Kensington from | the railroad bridge past the post | oftice building to Marmington road Where the Driscoll construction com- pany has installed water mains, | The recent rain storms have caused | the dirt in the ditches to settle and | cause large excavations. The road | has also bcome muddy and many | automobiles have been stuck for| hours at a time. The ditch is being partly dug up and g layer of rocks is being put in place by the construction company | and the dirt is again thrown into the ditch to cover the stones. Complain of Closing, Many of the parents of children at- | tending the Worthington schaol in| Berlin are complaining of th® fact! that the school sessions here have closed at about 10 o'clock each day! as repairs are being made in several | of the rooms and the laborers can- not work while the children are in school. The parents, as one of them ex- pressed his feelings this morning, be- | lieve that the school committee should have qrdered the repair work | done earlier in the summer when the | building was vacant and not after| school had started this fall. It {s not | known how much longer the men will | be at work. | Soft Coal Arriving. Several freight cars of soft coal have been arriving in Berlin during | the past few days for use in the local manufacturing concerns. There has not been any hard coal to arrive in town in some time although the local | dealers are expected a small quan- | tity of such shortly. A New Britain | dealer has been in town making in- :u;Irifls at the freight office as to when some coal that he {s ex: will arrive, il Ll News in Brief, Mr. and Mrs. Warren have returned to their Whiteford, Penn, after spending the | past month with Mr. and Mrs, Wil. | llam Webster of Worthington Rlidge.

The confusion in the name and the suddeness of the news, bewildered the | parents of th unfortunate young man, and they awaited other news.

He was a painter by trade| and well known here, 34 years old. His great love for hunting was well known and he could always be found in the woods when he had the opportunity. His ability at trapping netted him excellent results from skins he got on his hunting trips. He was &lso a lover of outdoor sports and played on the Plainville Athletic club. He was an ardent follower of | and played football. His mother was prostrated by the sudden news of her son's untimely death and being left alone in the| house, after her husband and son, | Russell, left last night for Maine, re- | cefved the telegram this morning tel- | ling her of her son being dead. Kind neighbors came to her side and will of her family return from Maine. It is expected that Mr. Winninger | will make arrangements for the body He will also bring news of the condl- tion of his son’s wife. Besides his parents, the young man leaves a hrother, Russell, his formerly Miss Ruth Sargent of Farm- ington, and a young son. Coal Situation Here The coal condition existing in this town was the main topic of the Plain- ville Chamber of Commerce at its monthly meeting last evening. Burton H.

A state policeman was here on the case last night and questioned the | Freehold otficer as to what the charge | was against Nessler and how the New Jersey authorities were going to prove it. There was little information forthcoming from the officer. IFrom indications, Nessler would have had an opportunity to remain in this state for some time if he had protested | against extradition. For his own part, however, he was anxious to clear up the matter so as to be able to return to work, and was ready and willing to go back to New Jersey, feeling that he had committed no {intentional wrong in his transactions which in- volved the sale of the Ford, and two later deals involving a Ford truck and an Oakland car. Constable Furrey expects to keep in touch with this case as it is the most interesting which has come to the at- tention of local authorities in a long| time. There has been much specula- tion as to whether or not Nessler has broken any law, and whether or not the entire matter isnota civil process rather than criminal, involving as it deces the matter of payment for the purchase of an automobile.

Peasants Devise Simple Way to Rid of Locusts Kazan, Sept. 8.—Thousands of miles of ditches bordering flelds of grain have been dug by the peasants along the Volga to protect their crops from an invasion of locusts. Partly by this means, and with the assistance of the government which used poisoned gas, the grain was saved. The ditches acted as a trap. The locusts crawled into them, whereupon the peasants gathered in crowds, men, women and children, and shoveled earth on top of the insects. The method was very effective.
