Ahlberg's advt. st Plainville News MOQUIN DIVORGE " SUIT IS DROPPED Wile Shows Innocence—Charge Against Sitk Withdrawn MRS. W. W. BROWN DIES ‘Was Prominent Member of Martha Rebekah Lodge—Teeth of School Children Very Bad—Woman Falls | and Breaks Leg. Disclosure of a misunderstanding | of the nature of the charge made against her, together with love for their four little daughters, led Ernest D. Moquin of Bristol to withdraw his suit for divorce against Anna Moquin of Plainville when the time for trial came yesterday in the superior court at Hartford. A sec- ond suit, for alienation of affections against Harry Silk of Plainville, was ants the Plainville dware Co,, the Polish Investment & Loan Co, Inc. of New Britain, Vincenzo Appruzzese of Bristel, and Mary Paplans Mar- tina of New Britain. The bank al- leges that it holds notes dated July 20, 1918, and July 12, 1920, given by Antonifo and Stefano Domiano and secured by mortgages on several pieces of property on South Wash- ington street. The total amount of the three notes is $5,300. On Feb- ruary 15, 1921, Ferraro received title to the land by warrantes deed. The bank claims foreclosure of the mort- gage and possession of the premises, The other defendants hold llens or mortgages on the land. The action was brought through Attorney Charles F. Conlon and s returnable in the superlor court the first Tuesday of February. Teeth of Children Very Bad Dr. Edward L. Brennan began the inspection of children at the Linden street school yesterday mern- ing in connection with the school dentistry work, for which he wWwas recently engaged. Out of 66 ex- amined it was found that 56 had teeth which needed attention, The condition of the teeth of several | children was found to be so bad that | Dr. Brennan stated he eould not |think of doing any work on them, | cven though the parents gave per- | mission, without first personally |telking the matter over with the | parents. Woman Breaks Leg also dropped. The three principals in the actions, together with their attorneys and a large number of witnesses, were at the court house and ready for the hearing when Moquin relented and withdrew both suits. Several months ago Moquin sent pair work; Mrs. Moquin had met Silk at several dances, the latter being a prompter at these affairs, and Moquin suspected his wife of relations with the other man. He accordingly brought her to the of- flee of Attorney Willam N. De- Rozler of Bristol, where she was questioned concerning the matter. Mrs. Moquin admitted she had done “something awful ani something {she shouid not have done.”” When asked If she meant adultery, she replied, “Yes; if that's what you call 1t” Moquin immediately instituted sult for divorce, namins Silk as co- respondent, and sued the latter for $3.000 damages for alienating his wife's affections. Mrs. Moquin obtained Attorney David L. Nair of New Britain as counsel. Attorney Nair questioned | his client and discovered that she |had admitted adultery because she {had not understood the m ing of | the word; actually nothing more serious than kiss Sil I Sitk secured Attorney Charles F. Conlon to defend him and denied {the charge against him. Ars. Mo- lquin brought counter-suit for sup- port and attached her husband's au- talent | Day | Ber- orchestra.— | tomobile, whereupon he attached their furniture. This was the situation when the various parties concerned met in the court house vesterday. The | sight of the four little Moquin girls, | who had been separated from each | the actions were | brought, embracing each other in | joyful reunion proved too much for the father and he dropped his | charges. ' A separation agreement was made | between the couple. The children wjil be divided between them, the ushand taking Shirley, 7, and Vir- | ginia, 8, while Mirian, 4, and June, 6 months. will live with their | mother.

Mrs. Bristol News EXPECT FIRE HOUSE FOR FEDERAL HIL Project Appears Bright in Eyes of Its Champions NEW PARKING ORDINANCE Police Board Reported Drafting New Restrictions — Lighted Match Ig- nites Pool of Gasoline—Deaths and Births Increase In 1926. The proposed new fire house in the Federal Hill section of the city may become a reality within the next year, it is believed by fany who feel that such protection is needed. It is probable that plans will be completed before the city election in the fall and the matter placed before the voters at that time. In the section in question are lo- cated several churches, the Bristol hospital and hundreds of residences, the total value of which run into millions of dollars, At the present time such fire protection as is afford- ed is furnished by the central fire station, located on Meadow sfreet, Hose company No. 1 on School street and Hose company No. 2 on North Main street. The equipment in all tiree houses when answering fires on the fop of Federal Hill are obliged to climb steep grades and due to the low water pressure, in cases where water is used, it is necessary to use pumper service. Conditions are particularly adverse during the winter time particularly during snow storms or after a heavy fall of snow. Last winter, following the severs storms in February, Chiet John H. Hayes of the fire department stored a quantity of hose in the hill sec- tion so that it would he available in the event fire apparatus was um- successful in plowing through the deep snow. Some time ago, It was suggested that a new station be built on t hill section and when completed the house on North Main street used by Hose company No. 2 be discontin- ued. This proposal met with a storm of protest, over three hundred tax- payers appearins at a hearing in op- position, and that idea was discard- ed as impracticable. The necessity, however, for a fire house on the hill still remains and definite action 1s now being looked for from the city council by many of the taxpayers of that section. The condition of the fire house In which Engine company No. 2 is lo- cated will also mecessitate extensive repairs within the next two or three vears. To Present Claim For Fall The borough officials of Southing- ton have received offiefal notification from Robert J. Stack, attorney for Mary Brody of this city, that a claim will be presented for dam- ages as a result of injuries received by the complainant when she fell on an fcy sidewalk. The date set forth in the complaint {s January 11 and it is alleged that by the fall, Mrs. Brody sustained a severe injury to her left wrist. No specific amount is mentioned in the notification for- warded to the borough elerk, but will be incorporated in the claim to be ubmitted after Mrs. Brody's recovery.

To Propose New Parking Ordinance It is understood that the board of police* commissioners are now en- gaged in the drafting of a new park- ing ordinance which would prohibit parking of cars in the present un- restricted districts in excess of four hours. This action has heen taken after their attention was called to several cars in various parts of the city whieh, after having frozen up, have been permitted by their own- ers to remain where they stalled for weeks at a time. It is probable that the new ord'nance will be ready for consideration at the next meeting of the city couneil.
