 Annual Church Meeting. The kensngton Congregational church will hold it's annual meeting next Thursday, beginning at o'clock in the afternoon. The idea of begin ming the meeting in the afternoon is a new one at the church and it Is be- lieved that it will be popular with the m em bers as, in the past, it has been impossible to finish the business be- fore late hour.
 Another innovation this year. will be the elimination of the reading of reports. Arrangements have been 1 made to have the reports printed be- forehand and placed in the hands of the church members previous to the meeting, so that they can follow them more intelligently.
 Following the business meeting a supper will be served.
 That Troublesome Spring.
 Through their attorney, Judge John and Emma Seibert of Berlin opposed in the superior court today the demurrer of tn cir neighbor, Carlo China to an injunction which they received from Judge Edward l.. Smith some time ago to prevent China from dcpriving them of the use of water from a spring on his land, but which flows over their property. The spring in question is located about two rods from the line dividing the Scibcrt and China property and the Seiberts who use their property for farming and pasturage, object to thina's erecting a pump to force the water from the spring into his res idence, as it would then cut off the only pure water source available to them and which they have enjoyed for many years The Seiberts have many milch COWS, keep large dairy and have a milk route in New Brit ain and it is absolutely essential that they have the water for domestic purposes and to water their live stock.
 The question before the court today was whether the Seberts have a right to the injunction now in force. Judge John Walsh and William r. Delaney of New Britain appeared for China
 The Seiberts were granted their in- junction q short time after China had erected concrete cistern near the 1 spring in question and made known his intentions 10 divert the water into his house, which is situated on an em- lnence from the water source. The contention of the Seiberts is that. having used the water from the spring for so many years they cannot now be legally deprived of it by China
