This afternoon at o'clock the finance board will hold a special meet ing at which time action will be taken regarding the reconstruction of the old dam at Rhodes Pond, in the Stanley Quarter park. At the coun- Gil meeting last Wednesday evening a this dam be rebuilt in order that the as a skating pond this winter The matter was viewed with favor by the council and it was referred to the finance committee. It Is estimated that the cost would be about s1,5OO As the finance board cannot trans fer funds from one department to an- other until February, it is thought that if the dam is rebuilt a loan will have to be negotiated.
 In connection with the rebuilding of this dam it has been recommended that the pond might be made to serve a double purpose, that of a skating pond in the winter and a swimming pool in the summer. It is pointed out that in the spring the water could be drawn off, the pond bottom thor oughly cleansed, and the water then permitted to refill the basin until a proper depth is reached.
 The residents of the northern sec- uon of the city are very desrous that immediate action be taken regarding their petition to the council, for they see in it an improvement not only to their community but to the entire city as it will provide an amusement place for the public at large.

cure Coin and Checks.
 Posing as a customer in order to get the sole occupant of the office out of the way, an unidentified visitor to the store of the Stanley-Svea Grain and Coal Co.,, rifed the cash register shortly before l o'clock this after noon and made a successful getaway. Cash to the amount of $57 and checks for SIPS and $50 were taken. The visitor, believed by the police to be one of two crooks who have been suo- cessfully victimizing merchants in ether cities by similar procedure, is thought to have left the city with his confederate by means of a west bound freight train which passed shortly after the robbery.
 Alfred Johnson was in charge of the office during the noon hour. A man, described as about 20 and wearing Q dark suit, came in to buy ten cents worth of crack corn and was noted taking close inventory of the off1co surroundings while the order was being filled. He had hardly left when another visitor of about the same age called and wanted two pounds of wheat. The filling of both orders took Johnson to the rear of the store. It was shortly after the second customer left that the robbery was discovered.
 Detective Sergeant Samuel Bam- forth was notified and is Investigating. Authorities in Hartford, Bristol, Plain vile and nearby towns have been notified. Johnson paid little attention to the appearance of the supposed customers and their description, as furnished to the police. is meagre.

Despatch From Lon-
 don Says Retreat of
 German0 Bulgarian E Forces is Stampede
NEXT FEW DAYS TO
 ANSWER QUESTION
Events Will Demonstrate Whethef Captors of City Will Require Rest Before Prosecuting Campaign-Ru- manians Continue to Give Ground Paris and London Report Quiet on Western Battle Fields.

The capture of Monastir by Gen. era1 Sarrail's army in Macedonia is looked upon by entente military writ kers as of notable political importance, but opinion appears to be divided as to whether it will be followed by nili- tary developments of sweeping char acter.
 Events of the next day or two are expected to show whether the captors of the Macedonian capitol will require period of rest before starting 8 new advance, or whether the pursuit of the retreating German-Bulgarian force is to be pressed, despite adverse weather conditions.
 The situation in Greece apparently has reached another of it's original stages. Following the demand by the entente for the turning over of vir- tually all the arms or ammunitions of the Greek army, it is reported to- day in a news agency despatch from Athens that the ministers of the Central Powers have been ordered by ! the entente authorities to leave Greece by, Wednesday.

AGED C0UPLEEL0PE
 IN AUTO, IT'S SAID
Mrs. Martha WigSleSVorth, " Years Old, Prospective Bride
GR00MSMAN 76 YEARS OLD
Mrs. Wigglesworth Resides on Chest nut Street and Her Alleged Finance Farmer-Affair Yelled in Secrecy.

Mrs. Martha Wigglesworth of 2SO Chestnut street, " years of age, is believed to have been one of the prin- cipals in an up-tO-date, twentieth century automobile elopement today and the other principal said to have been Stephen Hubbard, 76 years old, a prominent Hartland resident and owner of an extensive farm there. Further indication of the thorough modern methods of the aged couple is the strict secrecy with which they have guarded their plans not even their immediate families having been taken entirely into their confidence
 Plans Yelled in Secrecy.
 Whether or not the aged New Brit ain woman and the venerable Hart land farmer were married today is not known. Neither is it known when they intend to take the marriage VOWS, in case they have not already visited the parson. All that is definitely known about the affair is that Mrs. Wigglesworth, who is the widow of late Charles Wigglesworth has stated in no uncertain words that she loves the Hartland farmer and he in turn loves her, so they decided
 
 was to it; arguments against the nup- tials were unavailing. Further than the positive statement that they were to wed, neither Mr. Hubbard nor Mrs. Wigglesworth have disclosed their plans, as far as can be learned.
 Um.aunted By Objections.
 Mrs. Wigglesworth has made her home with her son, Charles Wiggles- worth of Chestnut street, and al- though her son and family knew that she was contemplating a second trip to the altar they did not know when it would be. It is said that because of her advanced years Mrs. Wiggles- worths family was opposed to the match and did not hesitate to inform her of their objections. She was un- daunted, however, and is said to have indicated that no obstacles were too great for her to overcome, even if ten years mark.
 This morning an autOm Obile drew up to the Wigglesworth home and in a few minutes the aged woman left the house and was whirled away in the big machine. It is presumed by her family that she left for Hartland.
 Friend of Wife No. 1.
 Queries at the Wigglesworth home brought forth the informa ton that there really was no information con- corning the affair Knowledge of the aged woman's matrim onial desires were admitted, but whether they would be realized or when, was not known. It was also stated that the family is not even acquainted with Mr. Hubbard.
 In reply to a question a prominent resident of Hartland stated that while he knew nothing of the plans of MT. Hubbard, he did know that the farmer had announced his intention of wed- ding the New Britain woman. It was also stated that Mrs. Wigglesworth was a close personal friend of MT. Hibbard's first wife, who died a num- Der of years ago, and that she be- ieves it her duty to care for him.

Serbians Given Lion's Share of Honors

{ London, Nov. 20, 5:2O a. m-The Serbians are given the lions share of honor by the morning papers in dis cussing the fall of Monastir. The capture of hill 1912 by the Serbians and their rapid advance to hill 1878, threatening the Bulgarians on the only avenue of retreat along the Pril- tpe road, is considered the main fac tor in forcing the nasty evacuation of the city
 Military opinion insists that the 4A1- lies must now advance toward Pril- ipe, using Monastir as a base and from there to Negotin on the Var aar. From the latter town they claim that the Bulgarian positions east of the Cerna could be outf1anked and the frontier passes opened to the AL lied forces which are now engaged s northwest of Saloniki. The fall of Monastir is considered as clearly showing the superiority of the Allies over the German-Bulgarian forces in view of the formidable defenses which had been created around the city.
