The hearing 'scob Berimmer testified that on Monday at 9.30, Jan. 5, with his son he left the store for home. When near the Potter and Mflm%n:idonees in Narragansett avenue enta came up in front and placed a revolver against stomach of witness and Roma came up in the rear. At first thought it was a joke. Valenta said: “T want what you have” but witness said he would not sive up. Witness pushed rovolver aside and then Roma caught him from behind. Then the son, Cecil Beringer, grappled with Valenta During the session of the Third | ! ment until the sitting of the superior court, at least. The case against Thomas Galensky, oharged with creating a disturbance on a car of the Norwich and Westerly Traction company, was continued for one week. Town Solicitor Agard stat- ed that counsel for accused had asked that the trial of the case be deferred until 4 in the afternoon, but that the complaining witness had an_engage- ment_for that hour. He therefore ask- ed for the continuance. Tha announcement by Bishop Nilan that Rev. Dr. John Neal, rector of St. Michael's church, was to be transferred to the pastorate of St. Rose's church, Meriden, was received with sincere re- gret by’ hie parishioners and by the People of Pawcatuck and Westerly generally. But as the transfer is to be made, the whole people congratulate the reverend gentleman on his merited promotion to a larger parish, especial- ly as the promotion carries with it the dist}nctmn of becoming a- permanent, or irremovable pastor. Dr. Neal has been pastor at St. Michael's less than three years, and has endeared himselt to the people of this section, regard- less of creed, and is admired as a broad minl@l and zealous Christian tussle witness was struck twice on the head with a club and received scalp wounds, and the same fellow struck Ceeil on the nose with the club. The men did not succeed -in getting any money or_property. The witness was positive that Valenta and Roma were the men who assaulted him, and th place where the assault occurred was in a dark place in the avenue. He was positive as to his identification. He reported the case to Sergeant West and Patrolman Chace. He described the appearance of the assailants to the police and they answered the general appearance of the two men under ar- rest. Both men then ran in the direc- tion of Oak street. The witness testi- fied that he first identified the men in the police station. Dr. May was called and took three stitches in the wounds. He was confined to his house for three days by advice of Dr. May. me said he was In New London on the night of the assault and Valenta gaid he was in Boston. They asked that witness make closer examination rs to their identity. The witness was positive that the men under arrest were the assailants. cil M. Beringer, son of the pre- ceding witness, corroborated the tes- timony of his father. Patrolman Henry Chase testified that on Monday night, Jan. §, went to resi- dence of Mr. Beringer with Sergeant West, and within ten minutes after .omplaint was received. At that time Mr. Beringer told the officers practi- oally the same story that he told on the witness stand. The witness said he saw Valenta in Westerly within a month. Valenta added that he was in West-~ erly just before Christmas, but was in Boston Jan. 5. Police Sergeant West corroborated he testimony of Patrolman Chase as o _the assauit. John Catto, a police constable of Waesterly and resident of Bradford, testified that he was called into the « by Chief Brown and went to N London with the chief. When the prisoners were brought to Westerly witness went into. an adjoining cell. He heard Valenta tell the other fellow to mtick to it that they were never In Westerly. Have seen Valenta be- ‘ore but could not tell just where. Town Solicitor Agard stated that he considered the testimony sufficient to hold the accused for actlon by the grand jury. Judge Williams found the accused probably guilty and held them for trial n the superior court for Washington ~ounty the third Mondav in February. Bonds were fixed at $5,000 each. In fl-lfltlult they were taken to Kingston ail. Among the spectators in court wi gentleman. When Dr. Neale assumed the pastorate of St. Michaal's he wrought a radical change, for now the parishioners are united in Christian spirit, and the condition of the parish was never equalled. By his earnest endeavors and the hearty co-operation of his people the church property, in- cluding the cemetery, has been put in excellent repair, a mortgage of $8,000 has been cleared and he turns the par- ish over to his successor absolutely free from debt. Dr. Neale is a native of Middletown, Conn., and took his college course at St. Charles, Ellicott City, 1 philosophical and theological courses at St. Mary’s Seminary, Baltimore, and St. John's’ Seminary, Brighton, Mass. He was ordained by Archbishop Wil- liams in Boston, June 25, 1888, and ever since has been engaged in the diocese of Hartford, serving a time as assist- ant at St Patrick’s church, Norwich. He came from the pastorate of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Terryville, to become pastor of St. Michael's parish. Dr Neale will not leave for Meriden until January 28, as he decided to spend at least two more Sundays with the people who aided so materially in making his pastorate a pleasurable success. Dr. Neale will be succeeded by Rev. Patrick O’Leary, who comes from New Canaan. ITe is introduced by the Cath- olic Transcript as follows: 2 ie Rev. Patrick O'Leary, who has seen promoted to St. Michael's, West- erly, is a native of Woonsocket, R. I, and was educated in the North Amer- ican college, Rome, and at St John’s Seminary, Brighton.

New England Granite | A certain razor has built up a large sale and a National.reputa- tion through newspaper adver- tising. It has been sold at a fixed price and the public has come to regard it as well worth the price asked. Following last Spring's de- cision of the Supreme Court some dealers began cutting the price of this particular article— using it as an adv ent. Now, curiously enough, not a few of the price-cutting stores found they sold fewer of these razors at & cut price than before. On the other hand, stores that maintained the price found an increased demarjl. “People want to know what is ‘wrong with it when we offer this article at a cut price,” one store- keeper told the writer. It was true that the splendid " newspaper advertising coupled ‘with the fact that it was a good article had practically standard- ized the price in the minds of the public. There is food for thought in this situation for other manu- facturers. Perhaps you would like some suggestions.
