some time.
 Mrs. Lloyd was d native of England. but had lived in these parts for over half a century, the larger part of
 which she spent in Plainville. She
 vas eighty eight years of age. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon 2:3O from the Methodist church. It is expected that the new pastor Rev ". Waldo Weller will be here to conduct the services. Inter- ment will be in West cemetery. Mrs. Lloyd was the widow of James Lloyd, a veteran of the Civil War and well known resident in his day. She is survived by a step-Son who is serving with the British army and was with the allied troops on the Gal lpOi peninsula when last heard from. The young man enlisted from Aus tralia, where he had settled down if ter following the life of a sailor for a number of years.
 After her husbands death, she gave away considerable sums of money for philanthropic purposes. and a few months ago it was discovered that she had pauperized herself as a result of her charities. Her case was finally re- ported to the selectmen, after it was found that her pension money was insufficient to keep her, and plans were made for sending her to the town home in New Britain.
 There was a storm of protest over the suggestion, the tOWnSpeOple real lzlnG the injustice of forcing so au- m1rable a woman to spend the end of such a useful career in an almshouee.
 Friends came to her assistance and with their aid she continued her cX- iStence without becoming a public charge, and people interested in her case stated today that there is enough money left to pay the expenses of her burial.
 Y. NJ. c. \. Boys to Be Here.
 Men interested in the formation of club for the young men and boys of the town announced today that d class from the Y. M. C. A. in New Britain, headed by Warren Slater, physical director, will come here to- morrow night to given an exhibition in caliStheniCS before the voters at the town meeting which is to take action on the matter of leasing the Town hall for the use of the organiza- ton.
 The boys are working enthusiasts tically to rally support to their cause
  will see fit to encourage them by adopting a resolution authorizing tle selectmen to rent the hall to them. There are no other quarters available and unless part of the town building is placed at their disposal interest in the society is liable to wane.
 The prospects otherwise are very bright and an organization with a large membership is practically as- Sured.
 Small Chance for Freeman.
 While the condition of Edward A. Freeman showed no change for worse today the fact that there is no sign of an improvement discourag- ing to his relatives and friends and to the doctors attending him pra aC- tcally eliminates the hope of saving his leg from arnputation. The ab- sence of any blood circulation in the lower part of the limb as the re- suit of development of embolism in dicates that the leg will have to be cut off to save the patient from blood 1 poisoning and death.
 pr. J. N. Bull, the family hpysician, said today that there appears to be but little chance of saving the limb and amputatiOn will probably be necessary, although an operation of his character has not as yet been definitely decided on.
 MT. FreemanS son. Philip of Tor 'ington and his daughter who lives n Boston, have been called to his bedside.
