 New Britain lodge is 38 years old, and now has 45 members, this be- ing the smallest membership it has ever had in its history. At one time it was one of the most powerful and most popular in all New Britain, but increased rates for the older mem- bers several years ago. and compul- sory retirement of members over 70 without benefit. it is said, caused the lodge to lose membership, and as no new young members were being in itiated, the fate of the lodge was dire until Lime lodge came to the rescue last month with the offer to take over the lodge and thus keep the members in good standing in the order.
 Lime lodge is 37 years old. it's 3Sth birthday coming next June. | There are 70 members in this lodge, making the total combined strength

GALLAGHERS HELD
 FOR HIGHER COURT Charged With Robbery in Con- neCti0n With Bristol Shooting MYSTERY WITNESS FOUND
Police Believe Stolen Car Waited
 Outside Scene of Attempted Hold up Until Policeman Killed Ther- iault-Bonds Set at S1O,OO0 Each.
Special to the Herald)

Bristol, Oct. 25 - Charged with robbery with violence in connection with the attempted holdup of Rock S pharmacy which resulted in the shooting of Edmond Theriault, youthful bandit, Wednesday night, Charles Gallagher, IS, and his brother, Kenneth, 2S, were arraigned in court here before Judge William J. Malone this morning and were bound over to superior court in bonds of $10,00O each. Kenneth, given one years suspended sentence for furnishing the gun with which John Brophy of Waterbury killed summer, is still on probationary term which does not expire until June 5, 1881.
 Attorney Joseph P. O'Connell rep resented Kenneth Gallagher, entered a plea of not guilty for his client, and waived examination. Probation Officer Thomas Tracy was appointed guardian of the younger brother and the court gave instructions that a plea of not guilty be entered for the youth. Arrested in Hartford, Charles was brought down this morning by County Detective Edward J. Hickey and Deputy John Kelliher.
 Police believe that the Gallaghers were with Theriault when the latter made his ill-starred attempt at rob- bery and was shot down by Officer Edward O'Connor, this link being supposedly forged through the dis covery that Theriault's gun and one found in Kenneth Gallagher's home had been stolen from Presque Isle, Maine, store while the slain gunman and the two brothers were there some weeks ago.
 Mystery Witness"
 Police Chief Ernest T. Belden ex-
 pressed his belief today that 8 stolen car had been used in connec- ton with the holdup. The police are working on the theory that Ken meth Gallagher drove the machine and that his brother was q, passen- ger in it, along with Theriault.
 The fact that the police have a mystery witness" in the case was Continued on Page Two)

that

the change had begun which was gradually

also served to intensity the reckleSsneSS and
disregard for public rights on the part of the

not new. It had been the subject of many
complaints, and also of some city legislation,
even before 1880, when the omnibus, then just
coming into use, took the place Of the stage.
At this time, as in the early days of the city,
the route was still confined to Pennsylvania
