N~ i is thought that it can be saved. | Service Pipes Again Charged. New complaints about service pipes | on Broad street being charged with electricity were made yesterday to Superintendent McKernan of the water company. Electricity escap- ing from a wire in the school house from which the insulaton had been worn off communicated to the water pipes in houses in that vicinity a few weeks ago and gave the occupants scare. It was two or three days before the source of the supply of juice was located.
 It is thought that the trouble this time is also due to some defect in the wires in the school building and the matter has been reported to cleo tricians who did the work.
 May Play Local Team.
 Satisfied with their work on the diamond last Sunday, the Hose com pany's baseball players are planning to search for additional laurels and Bremen Skinner and Smith, the cap talns of the teams which crossed bats, have announced their intention Of selecting a nine from the two divisions and issuing a challenge to the Plainville A. C., which claims the cham pionship of the town.
 The A. C. nine was shut out by the Pirates of New Britain Sunday after noon and after watching the contest the firemen feel that they can teach the youngsters few things about the national pastime themselves. They have received assurance that their challenge will be eagerly accepted and the game will probably be played at Woodford's within the next few weeks.
 To Give Decision Thursday.
 Judge Peck of Hartford, who oc- cupied the bench in the Bristol police court Fast week when J. J. Missett and John Cassineri of this place and four Terryville liquor dealers were tried on charges of selling and deliver ing beer in d no-license community, has notified counsel for the men that he will render his decision Thursday morning Many technical points were brought up at the trial, which lasted full day, and at it's conclusion Judge Peck stated that he wished to take some time to consider them be- fore making a decision and he re- served judgment.
 Yesterday Judge Malone gave hearing concerning the disposition of liquor taken from Cassineri and John Glinkoski, who were caught by the state police delivering the wet goods in Bristol The owners of the stock, which included two cases of beer taken from Cassineri and five kegs and five cases of beer which were found in Glinkoski's team, did not put in appearance to make claim for their property and as result the court instructed the police to destroy the entire seizure.
