Error Found in Superior Court De- l
 4cision-Bridgc Shop Takes Warning : From New Britain Fires and
 Guards Plant.

Error was found and judgment re- versed by the supreme court in the case of Norman L.. Beckley against Willard I. filling, candidates at the last election for the first selectman of Berlin. According to the supreme 9Aurt, each had 1S2 ballots, instead of Beck 4ey having 1S4 and filling 1S2. N-Afling, the republican nominee, was declared elected by the moderator of the election, and because of the dec- laration, Norman l.. Beckley, demo- cratic nominee for the office. appealed to the superior court. claiming that there were ballots which were cast for him which were illegally rejected and that he should have been de- ciared elected. On the recount, Judge J. P. Futile ruled that certain of the ballots should have been counted and that. MT. Beckley was entitled to the office. An appeal was taken by MT. filling to the supreme court.
 Chief Justice Prentice, writing the opinion in which all concurred, said that it Is 8 we'll established fact that, properly speaking. there is no district office as that of first selectman. Of the ballots which were finally de- creed valid, there were PIP lawfully cast for Alling and 259 for Beckley. Of the thirty-five remaining, twenty fee were counted for Beckley and ten for filling.

LAUNDRIES MAY CLOSE.

Paris, Feb 22.-Laundries in the capital and throughout the depart- ment of the Seine are facing a crisis. Not only has the material they use in- creased 60 to 100 per cent, but the shortage of coal is causing a num- Der of them to close their establish ments. Yesterday one of the largest laundries at Boulogne- sur-Sein in the suburbs of Paris ceased to operate. The same thing happened at Issy-les- Moulineaux. Some of the restaurant keepers fear they will be unable to supply tablecloths and napkins and in some places the latter article is be- ing replaced by one made of tissue paper.

partment at home to be ready to meet any local emergency.
 H. c. Thompson, chairman of the | fire commissioners, and his asso ciates as we'll, placed their stamp of approval registering the opinion that the emergency required prompt action l ahd the elimination of red tape. Conditions which developed in New 1 Britain last night showed the need of some changes in the equipment of l the local department. The couplings used in Bristol, New Britain, Water I bury and Hartford are different from the ones with which the local depart ment is equipped and before the local 1 f1remen were in shape to render as- sistance last night, it was necessary to l secure two lengths of hose from one lsof the New Britain companies, using a patented clamp to get the hose ready for service The need of uni- form couplings has been apparent for a long time Chief Norton has ag1tat- ed such an improvement for years but for some reason the departm ents of the various places never reached an agreement.
 Should a serious fire break out in Piainville, New Britain and Bristol departments could not furnish any aid until the couplings of the kind used here were furnished them.
 Last nights scare will probably serve to cause the departn ents to buy extra couplings for similar emer- gencies.
 Chairman Thompson conferred with Supt J. N. McKernan of the water company this morning regard ing the condition of hydrants and was advised that they are in good work ing order
 If firebugs are operating in this section there is no good reason for believing that they would show Plain vile any special immunity and the local officials now believe that prep arations should be made for their re- ception, and the fire departments equipment made such that they might be foiled in their efforts to burn the town.
 Chief Norton's drills, ordered few weeks ago, are serving to keep the firemen on their mett1e as was clear ly demonstrated when the call for aid was received last evening, the local men responding with remarkable celerity and getting in their places without a sign of confusion.
 A SaloonIess Nation.
 The campaign to make Plainville a dry town will be given impetus, in the opinion of prohibitionists, next Sunday when Rev. Walter E. Lam phear of Hartford, secretary of the Connecticut Temperance union, will visit here to give two addresses
