During the past two years Miss Ellrod has frequently appeared before the footlights in this city with amateur combinations, and on each occasion she gave evidence of natural histrionic abilities of high order.

Nathan Merwin's Ward.

Hearing Before Judge York-Ths Case
 Continued to February 18th.
 There was to have been hearing before Judge York in the Probate court yesterday on the petition to terminate the guardianship of Nathan P. Merwin over Jennie R. Downes. It is stated that the girl. who is now between IS and 19 years of age. gave birth to an ilIe- gitimate child in December last. Merwin was arrested charged with being criminally intimate with the girl. In addition, growing out of the scandal, is another case against Merwin for islander and libel, the damages being placed at $5,oOo. George Page, who was farm laborer for Merwin, brings this suit, alleging that Msrwin circulated reports attributing the paternity of the child to him.
 The attorneys in the case are Hamilton for the defendant and Webb for the plaintiff Two of the selectmen of the town of Ham, den were at the Probate court yesterday morning when the question of guardianship came up. There was no testimony taken Mr. Hamilton made 8 statement to the court. He said that Merwin did not care particularly V about being the young woman's guardian. Sns Snsn Is;n naa now for several weeks family and was practically beyond his care. He wanted the guardianship dismissal based entirely on grounds that would in no way sf- feet the coming criminal trial The attorney wanted the record in the Probate court to show that 1t was entirely apart from any reasons rising out of the charge Miss Downsf makes against Merwin, that his control a. guardian over her was taken away
 Judge York intimated that the youne woman snouId nave guardian and the sooner the better. Her condition in life was suct now that good sound advice should be piver her. It might save her child's name from stain Merwin's guilt or innocence was . matter outside of the jurisdiction of thil court. 1T ne Is guilty then he certainly should be removed. If not guilty he is an interestef party and as such should no longer remain her guardian. However, to allow the attor neys an opportunity to consult in preparation for finding which should be submitted tt the court, the case was continued by Judg York until February Is,

Looking For Jimmy McCabe.

the Man Who Stole MT.
 Law.
 It will be remembered that the COURIER yesterday morning reported the theft of a horse and business wagon from in front of Woods drug store. corner of Church and George streets. The team belonged to Frank T. Lane of Oyster Point, and when last seen was being driven at rapid gait toward Ham, den. Yesterday MT. Donohue living in Hamden informed the police that he wanted Jimmy" McCabe, who was his son ,in-lsw, arrested. He stated that on Sunday after. noon McCabe drove up to his residence with team that in every way answers the de- scription of Mir. Lanes missing turnout and asked his father -in-law to lend him an over coat. Donohue did so, but did not remem Der, until it was too late, that in one of the pockets was the sum of forty pounds in English money-about $2O0. So soon as he bethought himself of this he hastened tc notify the police. He finished his story by saying that he thought it strange at the time that MeCabe should want an overcoet. as he had one on, fact that i'm pressed itself the more strongly on his memory from the circum stance of McCabe accidentally dropping ( bunch of keys from pocket of the oVercoat Donahue saw that on 8 metal tag on the bunch of keys were the name and address ''E. Mal1szewski, Norwalk, Ct."
 The police are satisfied that McCsbe stole the overcoat he had on before he got Dena hue's and also that he stole Lanes team. H' is well known in police circles, and descrlp tions of him and the stolen team have beer sent in all directions.
 McCabe was arrested about midnight or Cedar street in the house of man named Flynn. The young man had just returned to the city ,and it is thought he left the stole1 team in Meriden, as the police had received word from there that team answering tho descri ption of MT. Lanes had been found wandering about on the streets there.
