 Is peculiar thing. Cellino was ar rested in New Britain last night by Ofhcer Henry pavfds. who received a tip that Cellino was talking to a friend on Commercial street Officer Davids immediately went to the place mentioned and finding Cellino in conversation as had been said, placed him under arrest on a charge of pass ing worthless check. Cellino could give no bond and was forced to re- main in the lookup until his trial comes up.
 The accused is charged by the pro- prietors of the Palace of Sweets on Whiting street, with obtaining goods from the store and rendering a worthless check for S45.O0. Cellino is said to have declared the check was all right and it was taken by the man at the counter. When the owners went to New Britain to cash it, they were refused money. They then went to tn Pelainville Trust company and were also refused there. Cellino appeared surprised concerning the worthlessness of the check and took it, saying he would cash it immedi- ately. While on the way to the Plainville Trust company, he evil dently made out another, this time for S90.00, and is said to have ten- dered it at the window. Without suspicion, the clerk at the bank gave him the money. Cellino did not put in an appearance at the store to give them the money and was not seen again until Officer Davids received the tip that he was in New Britain.
 He will be giver a hearing in the Plainville town court tomorrow even ing. Justice Edward P. Prior will hear the case and Attorney William J. Foran will act as prosecutor.

The houses were made into roolning places some of them containing as many as 27 beds The question of just what the factory will do with the tenement is not known. That the rent situation will be relieved a great deal by the leaving of so many tenants is evident. There were esti- mated to be upwards of 300 or more who left PlainvilIe Saturday for other places.
