Elegant Testimonial From His Former

The employees at Colts works, Hartford, William Mason, whose connection with the establishment after eighteen years of faithful service was brought to 8 close on Saturday. Mr. Mason has resigned his position at Colts which he has occupied so long in order to assume the duties of his engagement at Win chester's, in this city. When it an- nounced that MT. Mason intended leaving for New Haven, his fellow workmen decided unanimously on extending to him an appro- priate testimonial of their friendship and re- gard Committees were appointed and sub- scriptions received, all of the men offering something towards the general object. An elegant gold watch, chain and charm were purchased, also a magnii- cent china set containing 149 pieces. An admirable case of silver spoons, three dozen in number, also obtained and added to the list of gifts. Considering Mir Mason s modest and retiring disposition, it was thought best on the whole to avoid 8 public presentation, and the rich testimonial was therefore sent here to him on Tuesday by express, affording him most delightful surprise in his new home at New Haven This course was heartily concurred in, and was no doubt far more graceful towards MT Mason than public demonstration could have been. Accompanying the gifts was letter signed by Mir. Mason's fellow work men. which he will value as long as he lives. It was splendid tribute from his associates bearing witness to the qualities of head and heart which had endeared him to them, and assuring him of their constant sympathy and remembrance. The gifts were very valua- bIe, the watch itself being worth upwards of $25o.

An Interesting Justice Su1t-The Ga1la-
 gher HOughtOn Case Settled.
 Yesterday afternoon N. Leonard Tough ton, the artistic wayside painter, was released from the county jail, where he had been con- veyed last Monday on a writ of trespass for painting 8 sign without permission on James Gallagher, jr.'s, base ball ground fence. Lawyer John c. Gallagher who managed the case against him and had assisted in the bail piece process by which he was recovered from New York city agreed to take the costs amounting to $2O or $3O The sheriff's fees for the New York search were also to be provided by friend of the prisoner and so the suit was withdrawn A boarding house keeper in Bridgeport was after Houghton the other day for failing to pay about $70 for board, but he will probablykhave to look elsewhere for his pay.
 The manner in which Houghton obtained bondsmen when his body was attached was interesting He first sent for a clerk in Chapel street store, 8 young man active in- military circles, who was, according to the record, the owner of two building lots. The bond was given and proved acceptable. Not long after a relative of the bondsman ap- peared and demonstrated about the matter so that the young man surrendered Houghton, who 1nlm6QlaCely WeuU WILL LII OIQc6r III quest of another. After two visits and, it is s i'd, at least one misrepresen- tation, he obtained another sure ty who gave special bail in $75. By so doing, this surety made himself liable to pay the damages and costs that might he obtain ed in case Houghton did not appear The trial was set down before Justice Wood, but when the day came Houghton missing. A bail-piece was at once issued, but the artist couldn't be found. short time afterward two Bridgeport men, who had claims against him, ferreted him out in New York and in hot haste came to Lawyer Gallagher to ascer- tain what was best to be done. Deputy Sheriff Keefe was sent with him to New York with the bail, piece and they returned with their quarry It is said Houghton has much work to do in New York. Houghton says that he received $3. 50 for painting the sign. It cost his friends about $40 to get him out of the scrape Mir Gallagher receives about $12 year for each sign painted on the fence by his permission, and brought the suit sim ply to protect himself and legitimate adver- tisers.
