A Priests Estate.

Litigation in the SynnOtt Case Begun.
 Litigation has already been begun in the matter of the estate left by the late Rev Father T. J. Synnott, of Bridgeport. Suit has been brought to have the deed conveying the property to Rev. Father John Synnott set aside, on the ground that it is null and void, it being alleged that the instrument was executed without consideration, and was nev- CT delivered by Rev. Father Synnott or by his authority, and was not discovered until some days after his death. The suit is brought in the name of the administrator, as under the new law all the real estate of the deceased is held by the administrator during the administration, and if the deed IS set aside it will come under his care and be di- vided among the heirs. The petition IS brought to the Superior court at Bridgeport, but cannot come up before next September Action was taken at this early day in order to prevent any transfer of the property under litigation. Mr. D. F. Hollister has been re- tained as counsel by the administrator.

A Noted Butldtpg Rurned.

Last night about 11:45 an alarm of fire was given from box s2, corner of Maltby and Grafton streets in Fair Haven. The cause of the alarm was fire in what was known as the "red" house on Middletown avenue, near Lewis bridge. Formerly the house was a disreputable one, where many crimes had been committed, the murder of McCaffery included. Of late years it had been used as 8 soap factory by Ball & Bradley. The build ing, which was an old one, was entirely de- stroyed. The fire was undoubtedly the work of

A Schooner Sunk.

Struck By the Erastus Corning -The
 Crew Saved and Taken to New York By
 the Corning.
 Yesterday morning it was discovered at the docks that schooner had sunk during the night off in the harbor west of the buoy, near the upper end of the watch house beach, and abouta mile and 8 half from Steamboat dock. Several steam tugs and oyster dredges put of to the scene. They found the schooner sunk in about fourteen feet of water at low tide and that the schooner's stern had been torn away and cut into badly and other evidences of collision. No one was on board and a search was made for dead bodies, but none were found. Up to this point it looked very bad for the crew of the schooner, and it was generally believed along the harbor front that they had been drowned All doubts were, however, cleared up at later hour, when Mr. Conkling, agent here of the Starin line, telegraphed to New York and asked if the steamer Corning on her way out of the harbor Wednesday night had collided with any vessel. He received a reply saying that the steamer had struck schooner and that the

 The wrecked vessel proved to be the schooner Foam, of Trenton, loaded with coal and bound for Mystic.
 The schooner was owned by the Pennsylva- mia Coal company and had about two hun dred tons of coal on board. She sunk very soon after the steamer struck her. The pouring raiu and thick weather were no doubt the cause of the accident.

NOTES.

The news had no sooner been received in the city than Commodore Scranton, ,of. the New Haven Yacht club, ordered the colors raised on the Yacht club house and a salute of 13 guns fired, which was quickly done.
 Among the first to decorate yesterday af- ternoon was Charley Downs of the City Hall restaurant. Soon as the news of the victory was received in this city he ran out the American flag and few moments later had the front of his restaurant decorated with blue streamers. Others in the vicinity followed suit soon after.
 Janitor Bohsn, of City Hall, took his po- sition in the City Hall tower and with re- pea:ed strokes on the bell reminded the peo- pie that the victory of Yale was complete. The services of the janitor were duly apprs- ciated.
 Everybody was jubiIant over the demon stration and all in the vicinity of City Hall without regard to politics rejoiced over Yale's grand victory.
 The news of Columbias victory at New London reached the campus at about half past five, and rounds of cheers were given for the Columbia freshmen.

the nuptials had been fixed, and the

preparations for housekeeping, which
duty she expected to enter upon i'm

instead of keeping his engagement,
went, on the appointed day, to the
nearest railroad station and took the

which time he has been unheard Of
He left behind him, however, val.

The amount of her damages is yet to
be legally ascertained, but when the
matter has been adjudicared she will
have ample security by virtue Of her

is doubtless ignorant Of the proceedings
