Libe Plainville News DEMOCRAT GAUCUS TUESDAY EVENING Sesion o Be Beld i Libery in "~ the Town Hall Bflild,_lng THOMAS MeGALL T8 ILL Miscellancots Shower—Wedding An- nouncement—Visiting Nurse’s Re- port—Making Voters Today— Plainville Briefs, William J. Foran, chairman of the Democratic town, committee, has issued a call for a caucus to be held Tuesday evening in the Town hall on Plerce street. The purposes of the session are to nominate can- didates for judge of probate,. rep- resentative to the general assembly and justices of the peace. The caucus will be fheld in the library rooms of the Town hall because of ihe fact that the Republican caucus will be held in the court room or assembly hall and as Tuesday is the last day under the law on which a caucus can be held, it has been found necessary because of the ad- journed town mecting on Monday night, to hold the caucus on Tues- day, 3 Up to the present time, Fred Powers of East Main street s the only avowed candidate of the Demo- cratic| party for the nomination as representative. Mr. Powers is en- thusiastic over his chances of elec- tion and it is thought that littie time will be wasted in nominating himfor the office. JVith three candidates in the field “for the Ite- publican nomination, it is felt that there is likely to be a split because it is stated that none of the three candidates is popular with all the Republicans and although the cam- paign they are waging is quiet, there is & general undercurrent of feeling among the three factions involved. McCall Seriously IH. Thimas McCall of Broad street is critically 1l at his home and little hope is held out for his recove He is one of the best known citi- zens of the town and has a host of friends who will be grieved to hear It appears to be only a matter of days with him, but those close to him are hoping for the best. Miscellancous Shower A miscellaneous shower was given lasp evening at the home of Loretta David on East street in honor of Miss Carmine Lepore, About 25 of her friends were present and they presented her with a targe number of assorted gifts, A luncheon was merved and games were played throughout the evening. Miss Le- pore will become the bride of Louis memnone “at ‘the church of Our Lady of Mercy Monday, October 20, at 9 o'clock. Rev. John E. Fay, pastor, will perform the ceremony.

The town schooi committee at a re-, cent mecting voted to follow the course adopted by the New Britain and ‘Bristol school boards in not having school on Monday. Since that time, those two boards voted to have school, but the Plainville com- mittee decided to hold to their vote and thus the pupils will have a hol- iday Monday. Columbus+Day was not included in the recently pub- lished program of holidays for the {various terms and some misunder- |standing had been created through this but the situation is explained through the vote of the school com- mittee as announced by L.

D'a\'laon. were threatened with destruction by the fire which last night swept the west wing of Mon- danne, the James A. Stillman estate at Pleasantville, N, Y., driving out Mrs. Stillman, her daughter and her young son Guy. The fire for a time promised to destroy the great house on the $8,- 000,000 estate, which Mr. Stillman established soon after his marriage to Mrs. Stillman. Fire apparatus from nearby towns was called and the flames finally were confined to the west end. | Mrs. Stifiman said it would re- quire a great effort to get the house in order for the wedding next Satur- day. Servants saved the wedding presents which already were recelv. | ed. After the fire had been ex- | tinguished, state police were called ;to prevent any possible thefts from: the damaged wing of the house. Mrs. Stillman and her children took sudden possession of the estat: at the end of last March after her husband, former head of the Na- tional City bank, had lost every step in his efforts to divorce his wife and prove Guy illegitinate. Stillman was in Europe when she moved in. Fall brides, it's none too soon to seek your cozy apartment, ‘Secure it tirough the Want Ads.
