NO IMMEDIATE DANGER.
Berlin Pond Rather Low, But No
Cause For Worry Yet.

In denial of the rumor about that
the city's water supply is very low
and that pumps would have to be used
to force the water to the city, Super
intendent of Water Works Phil s.
Smith said last night that there was
no truth in the assertion and that
there was no immediate danger. The
rumor evidently got abroad from the
fact that some of the water men have
been about inspecting the flow of
water in the residential portion of the
city and from the fact that the liquid
in Berlin Pond is rather low.
Mr.. Smith said that yesterdays rain
did not help much, but that there is
no need at present of worrying about
the water supply. for there is enough
ahead now to last for a month or six
weeks. but that If good rain did not
come before that time, the pumps
would have to be started. Mr.. Smith
said that the water at the pond is
constantly getting lower but that that
is no reason why there is an imme-
date danger of lack of aqua pura.

FIRE AT wRIGHTsvILLE.
Barn and 0utbuildlngs Destroyed BY
Flames Sunday Morning.

An alarm of fire was sounded
among the neighbors in Wrights-
vile Sunday morning at 1 o'clock,
although the apparatus from this
city was not called to the scene of the
blaze, regular old fashioned bucket
brigade doing very efficient work.
The fire started in the barn of set
of three farm buildings owned by Will
liam Backus, of this city, but occu-
pied by a tenant. A calf and yearling
were rescued from the building, al
though the calf was slightly singed
and it was only by the quick work of
the improvised fire department that
the house was saved.
The blaze started in the barn and
after rescuing the cattle and forming
a bucket brigade from brook which
ran near by, it was found that the
fire could not be checked and that it
was slowly creeping to hen house
from which it would be but a matter
of time before the dwelling would be
ablaze. By quick work the chicken
house was torn down and the fire con-
fined to the barn which burned to
the ground Two tons of hay, a sleigh
and other property were destroyed in
the fire all of which were fully cover
ed by insurance. The house is &C.
cupied by tenant who visited the
barn at 10 o'clock, but there was
then no sign of fire anywhere, so that
the fire was either set in the barn or
caught from some unknown cause.
William Backus. an employee of
the Capital City Gas Company, and
owner of the property burned, said
when acquainted with. the burning of
his barn Sunday night, that it was the
first that he had heard of it and said
that if it really did burn, that he
thought that it was a measure of
spite on the part of a resident near
the place, who did not want a colored
man to live in the neighborhood. The
place had been advertised to be sold
at auction Saturday afternoon at
o'clock but at the appointed time there
were only two bidders present, Gus
Clark, colored man and Michael
Pembroke. Pembroke bid the house up
to 5000 and allowed Clark to bid it off
at $751;. The deeds had not been passed
as it was SO late 1t night when they
returned to this city so that Mr..
Backus did not know who would have
to stand the loss of the barn although
he has the place insured in the Union
Mutual Fire Insurance Company OF
this city for $780,

DAVID BOLEs DEAD.
One Of Berlin's Oldest Residents
Residents Passes Away.

At his home between A and 5 o'clock
Monday morning, David Boles, one
of the Oldest and most respected cit
liens of Berlin, passed away, death
being due to acute gastritis and heart
disease, while he had not been in his
usual health for some, time he was
confined to his bed less than two
weeks.
The deceased. the only child of
David T. and Mary Sawyer Boles,
was born Dec. 20, 1923, and always
resided in the house where he died
and titled the farm during his long
life, which his grandfather, Abel
Sawyer, settled in 1887. In early life
he learner the trade of blacksmith
from his grandfather, who served in
washington's army during the Rev
olution, though he never followed it,
devoting himself to the care of his
farm, using however, during his
spare moments, his exceptional skill
in the handling of tools, to fashion
many articles which are highly
priced by those who are so fortunate
as to possess them,
He was married Sept. II, 1855, to
Vienna L., daughter of the late Luth-
er and Lovila Beckley, and their only
child, Eddie, died fifty years ago to-
day at the age Of two and one-half
years. He is survived by devoted
wife, but no other near relatives.
Mr.. Boles was a fine example of
that fast disappearing type of citi-
zens, only one generation removed
from those sturdy pioneers of this
section who possessed many of the
rugged virtues and sterling qualities
of their ancestors. BY the exercise
of the virtues of thrift and industry
he was enabled to acquire a sub
stantial property. Although often
urged he was never willing to accept
public office, preferring quiet enjoy
ment of his own home to the contest
for political honors.
The funeral will be held at his late
home Wednesday afternoon at
o'clock, Rev. ]. Edward Wright. d.
D., officiating.

BANK TAXES INCREASE.
Returns From 81 National Banks
Show $22,O0s.S8.

State Treasurer Edward H. Deavitt
has received the returns of all the
National Banks of the State with the
exception of three, for the period end
ing September 80, and the figures
show a distinct gain over the returns
made for a like period ending last
March.
The returns from thirty-one of the
National Banks, there being thirty
four in all. show tax of $22, 002. 1888.
This is marked increase over the
returns from the same banks for the
last six months which was at that
time $2O,O1911, and shows an increase
of taxes to come into the treasury
department Of $1,9S377. This money
is not to be paid in until the first of
the year, but 1t is very gratifying to
see such an increase in the returns
which will amount to much more
when the other three banks make
their statement.
