Chief Egan and Officer Dodds being sworn, testified to having found on the day of the investigation, the door op- en leading from the bar room to the hallway They also testified that there were doors leading from the hallway to the kitchen, and one leading to the outside of the building and to a tenement up stairs.

About BIuebirds and Qua1ls.

Some weeks ago pair of bluebirds, with more confidence in humanity than most of their kind exhibit, built a nest on the Slater Library building between window frame and casing, in conspicuous place, and near the entrance where the laborers were passing in and out almost constantly. Their confidence was not misplaced, the workmen seeming to feel proud of their feathered com panions from the first. A short time since it became necessary to move the nest contain ing the unfedged birds, and it was put care fully in a small box and placed where the parent birds could have easy access to their treasures They may be seen any day, by those who pass the building, flying in and out carrying insect food to their young Norwich Bulletin.

The Bulls I'm ControI-An Advance ing Market Through the Day-In- effeetua1 Raids By the Rears-Prices Close At An Advance.


 NEW YORK, July 24. The market continues in the control of the bull cliques and to-day they forced further advance in all the leading stocks. At times those who had bought for 8 turn sold out their holdings and as consequence there some sharp reactions. Every decline brought out numerous orders to buy ana every decline was recovered Prices closed at the qest figures of the day. At the opening the market wes strong and during the first half hour prices advanced 3 to 3@ per cent the latter in Can ada southern which was exceptionally strong and adva4ced rapidly on limited business. About the first call there was vigorous selling by room trad CTS and scalpers with view to realizing the profits of the advance Under the selling there de- cline of s to 17 per cent the latter also in Canada Southern. The selling ceased shortly after eleven o'clock, while the bull cliques after absorbing all the stock offering continued to bid up values. At noon the market was up again to the top figures of the morning. From noon up to two o'clock prices were very irregular, fuctuatng frequently but within a narrow range, with the net result of leaving prices at the last mentioned hour slightly lower than at noon- In the last hour of business there was re- newed activity and a perfect rush to buy. The loaning rates for stock were bid up for of the leading shares, creating the impression that a squeeze was about to be given the shorts. The lat ter scrambled to cover and prices went up aston ish1ngly Business to-day was quite brisk and at times there was considerable excitement The sales aggregated 100000 shares. The advance as com pared with yesterdays closing ranged from E to 1 per cent The speciaties were dull and without fea ureS of note

SUPREME CoURT DECISIONS.

The Assessor Case of Dibble vs. Gil- bert ct all. Finally Dectded-Judg- ment for the Defendants-Other De- cfsiOns.
 The decision of the Supreme Court of Err TOTS in two or three cases was received by Clerk Jonathan Ingersol yesterday morning. In the case of Dibble vs. Gilbert ct al the following decision is reached: "The court ! advises judgment for the defendants. Req ! sons by Park, c. J."
 This settles the case of Ezra B. Dibble ot the Tenth ward and E., c. Beecher nf the Sixth ward, who at the town election last l fall ran as candidates for assessors against Griswold I. Gilbert and E. P. Merriman, the present incumbents. The purpose of Messrs' Dibble and Beecher was to test che constltu- tionality of the law which provides that assessors in the towns of Hartford and New Haven may be elected for three years. This change was made in the law to satisfy the popular feeling which at that time, par ticularly in New Haven, held that it was
 not in the line of public interest to turn an
 assessor out of office after he had been in it
 year or so and had just acquired familiarity
 with his duties. It was claimed that the
 longer he was in office the more valuable he
 was to the people. At the time of the pas
 sage of this act it was also that the system of
 minority representation on the board of as-
 sessors became law. By it the New Haven
 board has since been composed of three Dem
 ocrats and two Republicans. These changes
 seemed to give general satisfaction to every one
 In 1879 Thomas K. Dunn, Charles Ruick-
 oldt and Ezra B. Dibble were elected for
 three wears, while the Republican officers
 elected were Griswold l. Gilbert and Elias P. Merriman All of these gentlemen served
 during the time for which they were elected.
 At the fall election for 1882 MT. Didble was
 left off the Democratic ticket and William
 Hull was nominated and elected in his place.
 An opposition ticket was put in the field on
 which appeared the names of MT. Dibble and
 Mr. Beecher, who went into the field evident
 Iy for the sole purpose of testing the
 constitutionality of the law. They employed the firm of Wright, Robertson &
 Hotchkiss, and petition was brought before
 Judge Stoddard in the Superior court asking that he should hear the evidence and decide the matter, giving certificates of election to
 the petitioners. For MeTTiman appeared
 Mills & Law and for Gilbert, Hugh Daley
 Counsel in the case then resorted to the
 rather novel expedient of stopping proceed
 ings till petition could be submitted to the
 legislature of last winter asking liberty to appeal to the full bench of the Supreme
 court in all matters where questions involv- ing the constitutionality of the act was passed Judge Stoddard then found the facts in the case, which were submitted to the Supreme court with the results as above piyen,

MERwIN vs. DEwELL EFT AIS.

The third and last decision received yester- day was that of S. E. Merwin 6 Son vs. James D. Dewell and John A. Richardson. It read: ''No error;" reasons by Judge Carpen- ter This suit grew out of the assignment made by Philip Hugo, who transferred to the defendant considerable property. Hugos creditors through the plaintiffs brought suit to have this property turned over to the trustee for their benefit. The case was tried in the Superior court before Judge Stod- dard, who ruled that equity of redemption in the property be vested in James D. Dewen as trustee of Hugos insolvent estate. It was also ordered that the plaintiffs be paid out of the real estate their costs taxed at $295. An appeal was taken from this decision by some of the creditors who claimed that the complaint should have been dismissed.

Court Notes.

The case of Fred Ross, who was arrested Wednesday for keeping his confectionery store on Congress avenue open on Sunday for busi- ness, was continued by Judge Studley yester- day morning until July 26. The defense admit that the place was open on Sunday, but claim that he kept closed on Saturday.
 There was row in the tenement house at Congress avenue and Lafayettee street, We'd nesday night, which grew out of the friendly intentions of John and James Taylor, who desired to treat Henry McNulty to beer. Mrs. McNulty was determined her husband should not drink, and fight was the consequence. Mrs. McNulty and the Taylors will be tried for fighting Saturday.

COLE vs. PAGAN.

Another decision handed down is that of Edward F. Cole vs Charles E. Eagan, both of Waterbury. The court finds that ''the re- turn is insufficient" Reasons by Park, c. J. This is the case where Judg Bradstreet, of the Waterbury Probate court committed Deputy Judge Cole to jail for contempt of court in refusing to tell while on the witness stand to whom he delivered a certain note. Judge Cole explained at the time that the reason he declined to answer the question was on the ground that what took place between him and his client was privileged in character, and he could not tell without betraying the secrets of his client. Judge Bradstreet overruled the claims made by Cole and order
 ed him to answer, and upon his still refusing
 ordered him committed to the NewsHaven
 county jail there to remain until he shall be ready and willing to answer said question and until he pay the expense and cost made in executing this order and warrant" A habeas-corpus was taken out before Judge Cole reached the jail and he was brought before Judge Andrews in the Su- preme court. The petitioner denurred and full hearing was had Judge Andrews took the papers and reserved the case for the consideration and advice of the Supreme court The decision is in favor of Judge Cole
