New Britain herald., 1914-07-08

Frances Perkins, who has lived with Miss North for some time,t became worried becausezof her absence about the house. Going to her bedroom, she found her on the floor, uncon- sciOus from a shock. Dr. Griswold of Kensington was summoned and, under his care; the patient had become con- valescent. When her condition agaln became serious,SDr. Strosser of New Britain was called into consultation. She spent a rather restless. night last night and her friends understood this morning that her condition was crit ical. At her bedside when she died, was Miss Helen Rohm and her two trained nurses, who had been in con- stant attendance since her first stroke.
 The funeral arrangements have not been completed as yet. BuriaI will probably be in South cemetery, where the body of Deacon Alfred North was inferred in 1894.
 Rowdies Will Be Punished.
 Acts of rowdyism were perpetrated all around Berlin last night and this morning, the results of which were everywhere in evidence. The author ities feel that a crowd of local young fellows went out on a rampage just for the fun of it, but the affair will have a sequel in the police court if the officers are successful in ascer- taining the names of those who were responsible. "Rerlin people are get ting tired of this business" said Prose cutting Attorney William H. Gibney to Herald reporter this morning, "and it has got to be stopped"
 When Jerry Vendrilla opened up his store on Deacon North's Hill this m orning, he found that not only had one of the windows in his building been smashed. but a large sign adver- Using the make of ice cream he car- ries had been stolen. It was found later suspended over guy wire on Worthington ridge, hopelessly out of reach without the use of a ladder.
 More evidence of vandalism was seen at Boston Corners, where the bench which has stood against the east side of Dan F1annery's barn had been entirely dem molished and the pieces thrown into the gutter on the north side.
 Automobilists were in confusion to- day when, as a result of the sign posts being misplaced, they were directed in the opposite directions from those which would lead them to their des- tinations., The miscreants had sub- stituted signs indicating the road to New Haven and New York for those pointing out the way to New Britain and Hartford, in many instances, the signs being so placed that at one cor ner two signs pointing in different di- rections bore the information that one city could be reached by driving in either direction.
 Some autoists looked rather du- bious when they read the signs and pedestrians had to act as information bureaus during the day.
 Town Takes Stone.
 ; selectman William H. Gibney has notified the New Britain division of the Connecticut company to quit cart ing away the stone and gravel which was left on the side of the trolley tracks on Worthington ridge after the repairs were made last week. This stone was placed on the road by the town of Berlin and still belongs to it., so the selectmen are having it re- moved to Norton road, where some repairs are under way.
 On Monday of this week the Con- necticut company dirt cars began con- veying the stone to New Britain. Only few loads left Berlin, however. be- fore the selectman called halt.
 The repairs to that part of the road way between the trolley tracks were made largely. in response to com
