The committee of ar 1 engagements announced today that Mr. Brastow will be toastmaster at the l banquet and that there will be no addition to the list of speakers made 1 public a week ago. The contribu- l tors to the after dinner program will be Rev. Frederick D. Buckley of Wa terbury, Charles H. Norton of Wor- cester, Mass, and Frank H. Johnston l of New Britain. t The latter will rep resent the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce of which he is president.
 Arrangements for the banquet are 1 now progressing. well and the com mlttee reports that the various de- l tails of the affair are being perfected ] in satisfactory shape.
 l Fox's orchestra will furnish the music this year and $. $. Gwillim will take charge of the singing fea- ture. A chorus is being drilled for the rendition of popular songs and there will be plenty of music as we'll as mirth during the evening. There is the usual interest in the banquet and it is expected that the demand for tickes will be large. The plan of the committee in keeping the >C IL ,,, addition to the toastmaster and the asSociations president, who is to de- liver the address of welcome, meets with general approval and it is the opinion that it will find great favor with the banqucters.
 Drunk Fined $1O and Costs.
 William James who, by the way, disclaims any relationship to Jesse s family, but whose actions last even- ing might give him rights to distinc- tions which the brigands enjoyed, was fined $1O and costs for drunk enness and breach of the peace by Justice A H. Condcll this morning. James admitted the charges. Up to noon he was unable to raise the money and. he thought he would have to go to jail to work out the pen atty.
 The accused was arrested carly last evening by Officer Philip Marine. In company with a friend, both of whom were badly intoxicated, James called at the home of Mrs. Charles Stanley near the Main street railroad cross ing shortly afternoon. He was re- fused admittance and the pair caused 1 a disturbance. They subsequently, made the rounds of the saloons in town and at ' o'clock in the evening returned to the Stanley home and attempted to force their way into the kitchen. Mrs. Stanley finally sent for an officer and James was arrest ed, his friend having made a geta- way before the policeman arrived.
 The prisoner was very abusive in his language to the officer and threat ened to do dire things to him for putting him in the lookup.
 Grand Juror S. $. Gwillim ap- peared for the state when the case came up this morning, but aside from
 introducing the witnesses ne left the disposition of the charges entirely in
 the hands of the court. Justice Condell imposed a fine of s3 for
 breach of the peace and $7 for in-
 toxication, the costs to be added. Thought Man Was Crazy. stephen Welenski, who claimed his homo is in Brooklyn, N. Y., attracted
 so much attention around the center by his peculiar actions yesterday af-
 ternoon that Deputy Sheriff w. C.
 Hart put him in the lookup for ob- servation as to his sanity. The man $
 condition was evidently due to tho l excessive use of intoxicants, as he seemed normal this morning.
 @ Y He was brought before Justice E. ], P. Prior on 8 breach of the peace charge. The accused said he was a
 tailor and was in this locality seek E ing work. He was withoute funds. Rather than put the town to the ex- pense of sending him to jail Justice
 Prior, acting on Grand Juror Norton,s recommendation, suspended judgment and gave the accused fifteen minutes in which to leave town. Welenski needed the advice and quickly shook
 the dust of Plainville from his heels
 ScaIded by Hot Coffee.
 Frank, the four-years-old son of MT. and Mrs. Michael Ciambrello, was
 badly scalded this morning when he
 overturned a pot of boiling coffee that ] had been placed on the stove at his home near the depot. The little fel- low had pulled the pot from the stove while his parents were at breakfast
 and the boiling contents were spilled
 on him.
 The boy suffered terrible pain and when pr. l.. IT. Frost arrived ill swer to hurry call he was writh- } ing on the floor in agony. His shoul-
 der and arm was so badly scalded l that they were practically stripped of 1 skin.
