Only three games are to be played this week and two of them are with so that the score this week will probably be a clean one. This evening Wat-erbury will play here and Wallingford will play here Friday. Saturday evening the local team goes to Wallingford. There Is a plan on foot to give the local team a benefit at the close of the season, probably on March 21, with Hartford as the opposing team. New Britain, can lose all but tlve of the twelve remaining games and still win the pennant Police Signal Service.

It Is believed that the police commissioners are considering among other plans for the Improvement of the service the Inauguration of a police signal system euch as In use in Hartford, New Haven and other large cities. This would greatly Increase the ef ficient of the present Tore without any additional men, although there would etlll be need of more men even with tlia system. An appropriation will lm asked for one or the other at the city meeting unless appearances are altogether wrong. No Need of Central Fire Station. The report that an appropriation would be askfcd for at the annual city meeting for the erection of a central fire station has caused considerable comment among the tax payere.

It is generally thought, and the thought 1st freely expressed, that It would be well to wait until the city building Is erected before expending or more for a fire station in the center of the city for which there is no real need. The erection of another engine house In the localities which are now far from lire protection Is considered more necessary than the plan proposed. There Is general approval of the plan of improving the fire alarm service, as this would materially help the department, which Is greatly handicapped by the present system when there Is a break.

After a long rest the fire department was called out Saturday evening. The factory whistle sounded an alarm about 8 o'clock. The fire was hi an Ice house of Patrick Gllllgan on the Po-quonock road about a mile from tne center of the town. The building adjoins Mr. Gilligan's house and the neighbors and firemen quickly formed a bucket brigade which did excellent service, and succeeded rn saving the dwelling house.

The fire engine and hose got to the fire In good season, considering the distance and did good work also. All the furniture was removed from the house. The loss will be more in broken furniture thau on the building, which was insured. Mr. Gllllgan cannot account for the origin of the fire.

The family were in the house and heard cries of "Fire" outside. On going out they discovered one corner rT the icehouse on fire. The trolley cars happened along Just 1n time to take a good number to the fire sothat there was plenty of help on hand. An east wind favored the workers but had the blaze broken out later in the evening, no doubt the house would have burned also. Mr.

She had been a member of the Winchester Church for nearly fifty years, having united with it under the ministry of James H. Dill, who was associate pastor for six years with the Kev. Frederick Marsh.

That Third-Hall Proposition Lamp I on I The New England Railroad Company has made the following: proposition to the town authorities In regard to the grading of East and Henry streets: "We will build a new street between Riverside avenue and Prospect street provided that the town will 'block head' East and Henry street." There Is no probability of the town's accepting such a proposition and if the New England road runs the third rail It will be compelled to pay for all grading.
