waiter was sentenced to 90 days in jail for assaulting James Brown, civil suit may be brought by Brown to re- cover damages Brown was stabbed in the right hand by Carter and it i was necessary to have six stitches taken to close up the wound. This morning Brown stated that he has consulted counsel and is contemplat- ing bringing suit against Carter. Following the warning issued by Judge Griswold yesterday to the men at the camp, that jail sentences would be meted out to them if they appeared before him in the town court, Kensington was a quiet place last evening. Although a number of men are said to have gotten drunk, their companions helped them to the camp and no rowdyism as far as is known has occurred.
 The town constables have been given orders to see that the Jaw is obeyed and that peace reigns in Ken sington. With the addition of thirty men from Plainville to the camp, ; some lively parties are looked for. No Harmony Here.
 Since Frank DiVivo of Kensinston i decided to take a second wife unto himself, no harmony has reigned in i his household. His son. Alfonso, im- i mediately following the marriage, 1 brought suit against his parent to re- cover $3,O0O for back wages, claiming i that he had been promised the farm upon the death of his father As ] his parent married, the estate would be left to his spouse. Judge F. B. Hungerford of New Britain was re- tained by young DiVivo to look after ] his interests.
 1 Yesterday, Mrs. DeVivo complained to Prosecutor William H. Gibney that during an argument concerning tho disposition of the estate, Alfonso struck and severely scratched her face. She did not want the young i man arrested but wanted to have him warned not to strike her again. No arrests have been made.

 Judge Benjamin I. Miller, clerk of the district exemption board stated this morning that, the list of men to be certified for service has been con- pleted since the middle of October and the board has since been waiting for orders to call the men into service. l Whether the men will be called be- 1 fore December IS he could not tell. He said that the board has completed it's work as regards that last 15 per cent. from this district to go to Camp Devens and it was now up to the war department.
 He said that the board was in B l predicament as to what men it should l send. They did not know whether they should have any colored men or | dered to colors. There are a mum Der of colored young men in this district who are eligible for service and wheth- CT or not they are to make up part of the remaining quota, MT. Miller said he did not know.
 It is the belief of many that a call will be issued within the next few days. Since the questionnaires are to be distributed on December 15 con- siderable trouble would result if the men already certified to for service were still at their homes. For this reason it is thought, the men will be sent to Camp Devens within the next 1 week
 It is also said that a number of soldiers at the camp within the past few days have been transferred to southern cantonments thus making room for the quota that is soon to arrive.
 It is the belief of many soldiers sta- toned at Camp Devens that they will he in active service within very short period. One Berlin young man at the camp, in a letter to his parents writes that he expects that their divi-
