 Seeks Compensation.
 George H. Freeman was scheduled to appear late this afternoon before Compensation Commissioner George B. Chandler at Hartford to explain his claim against William B. Furrey of this place.
 Freeman claims that he was injured While in MT. Furrey's employ and he seeks compensation under the employ CTS liability law for the period during which he was disabled.
 No Damage Here.
 While the electric lighting service and some of the telephones were put out of commission for a time. the thunder storm and the electrical dis turbance which accompanied it last evening caused no serious damage here. Branches were broken off trees and there were some roads in the out lying sections washed out by the storm.
 Call Eligibles Next Week.
 Herbert Knox Smith, chairman of the exemption board for the second division, which comprises all the towns in the Fifth senatorial district of which Plainville is part, expects that the young men whose names first appear on the liability for-service list will be notified to present themselves for physical examination next week. The official list of the draft is now on the way here and by Friday it is like ly the names of those who have to re- port first will be posted. Their owners will be given five days in which to ap- pear before Dr. T. G. O'Connell of Bristol, or the assistants he may des- ignate, to undergo a physical exam ination. Those who have claims for exemption will not be heard until they are examined for physical de- fects. As it is expected that this division ] will have to furnish over 400 men, 1t will probably be necessary to call 1000 for examination before the quota can be filled. The board will probably have their meetings so arranged that the physi- clans will be in Plainville some day next week to permit the local young 1 men to be examined without leaving town.
 Chautauquans Deave. Last nights shower served to inter- l fere to some extent with the plans ! made for the formal closing of the 1 Chautauqua assembly at the camp | grounds, but despite the rain the members had publication parties, ad- journing to various cottages where they celebrated the closing of the an- nual session.
 The assembly this year was success full in every way and the officers were greatly pleased with the results ac- complished. | Financially it was said the meeting was not disappointment and it is expected that the reports of the of ficers will show receipts to be larger than the total expense.
