Court Notes.


 Edward Mooney. Edward J. Holland, Dan iel Reese, Joseph Fothergill and Dennis O'Connen were each fined $5 and costs in the City court yesterday morning for being en- gagged in row at the corner of East and Bridge streets last Saturday afternoon.
 Thomas McCabe brutally and causelessly assaulted Fannie Levi, the wife of a Con- gress avenue rag peddler, on Christmas eve. He overturned her husbands handcart and when Mrs. Levi interfered he kicked her savagely several times in the stomach. She was in delicate condition, and her injuries were of the most painful character. In the City court yesterday morning Judge Dsming promptly fined McCabe $75 and costs, and sentenced him to jail fer ninety days.
 Thomas Burns, Michael Daley and John Curran celebrated Christmas by having a very energetic row in 8 Hamilton street saloon. They were all three arrested. Judge Deming, however, fixed the blame on Michael Daley and John Curran, and fined them $10 each. They appealed.
 Michael Fitzpatrick and William Fitzpat- rick went out on the rampage Christmas night. They met John Westburgh and Albert Hoist in Campane's saloon on James street and gave them both pair of black eyes. Judge Deming fined both men $20 apiece and they appealed.
 Commissioners Niles and Newton were again engaged yesterday in looking over the claims against the R. L. Spencer company. The disallowed claims are not necessarily bogus, but are held for examination. Over two hundred claims are to be considered and the end is not yet.
 Jonas Thompson, who works at Holcomb Bros. factory, went into Maine's restaurant Saturday night and called for some cells. After he had eaten a third of the dish, he told the waiter that the cells were not fit to eat and he walked out after refusing to set tie his bill. In the City court yesterday Judge Deming fined him $1 and costs and he paid up. He had $132 in money on his per son when he was arrested.

An Interesting Discourse.


 A citizen writes to the COURIER as follows: The pulpit in the United church Sunday last was neatly decorated with evergreens, em- blematio of Christmas. Fifteen were pro- posed for membership, the majority coming from the Sabbath school (another argument in favor of early training.)
 Mir. Munger selected as the subject of his sermon the decalogue and Mount Sinai in connection with the words of the Christmas anthem 'Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and good will to man." Fifteen hundred years separate these two events; the conditions and surroundings are very diff ferent; the bold solitary rock on the one hand' the fertile plains of India on the other. There is always ntness in the teachings Of provi- dence. Storm, thunder and lightning are em- penalties are sure as lightning. Stern authority is sometimes the only power that is needed. It is 50 in the case of child hood before maturity, it was go in the child hood of the world. These laws were the es- sential rudiments of all civilization, enfore- ing the worship of one true God, the sanctity of the Sabbath, the purity of the marriage relation, as well as those laws without which a social condition would be impossi- ble When these laws are broken and dis regarded the thunder and lightning of divine wrath is said to follow, and now after years of sad experience as well ss discipline and training there comes new manifestation. The first said, f'Thou shalt'' and 'fThou shalt not The second in glad tidings of great joy, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and good will to men," No human conception can ge higher: it is final, absolute and conclusive. History we are told is full of surprises, but the great est surprise of all is the life of Christ. Sim pie as his life was it has passed into the life of humanity-the star of Bethlehem has nearly obtained the grandeurs of Rome. We date our years from his birth; it has given force to law, purity to knowledge and open ed the way to civil liberty, self-government and equal rights. Christ not only taught the fatherhood of God, but exemplifed it in all the actions of his life. His life was a perfect picture of perfect God, living the life that every man should live, embodying not only the prophetic wisdom of preceding ages, but the highest and noblest civilization of all future ages.

 StOddard.
 In this court yesterday morning the case of William H. Richardson vs. the town of Naugatuck was partly heard. The defendant entered demurrer setting forth that the plaintiff had neglected to specify, in the notice required by law to be given to the town within sixty days, the nature of the in- jury. The judge intimated that the notice was defective. He would give the plaintiffs attorney more time to look up the law on the question. Attorney H. 0. Baldwin appeared for the plaintiff and Attorneys O'Neill and Kennedy for the defendant.
 Decision has been reserved in the suit that John Fruin of Naugatuck brought against that town for personal injuries, received by the town neglecting to provide proper guards or railing on the approach to the Union City bridge, by which neglect he fell fifteen feet and received serious injuries.
 Attorney Lynde Harrison appeared for the defendant in the case of E. L. Kimberly vs. the Union Printing company, and asked that the plaintiff-in the libel suit which grew out of the Unions publication of certain state ments in connection with MT. Kimberly's management of Wilson Waddingham's West Shore and Land Improvement company, be instructed to point out more specifically the ibellous matter contained in the article. Attorney Pardee, of Pigott & Pardee, opposed the motion and Judge Stoddard agreed with MT. Pardee, refused to admit the motion and ordered the defendants to have their answer ready by next Monday.
 Jay E. Russell, who is now located in San Francisco, but who formerly resided and owned property in Branford, was before Judge Stoddard attending the various fore closure suits brought against him by Bran ford parties. There are five of these suits al- together; one brought by Edward Page against MT. Russell for the foreclosure of property worth about $5, ,000, one by Jason Thompson for the foreclosure of property worth $1 200, and three by Edwin E. Black stone, as trustee, on property aggregating 2,730. MT. Russell moved that the cases be removed to the United States Circuit court, as he is now a resident of the State Judge Stoddard did not decide upon the point. He took the papers in the case of Page vs. Russell, and Blackstone, trustee of the Protestant Episcopal society, vs. Russell.

THE BRIBERY CASES.

Councilman ChilHngwOrth of This
 City TestfheS at Length i'm the Noted
 WalltngfoFd Bribery Gases-A Stock
 holder i'm she SWeetland Chuck Con
 cern-A Missing Witness.
 WALLINGFoRD, Dec 27-The second days trial of the Wilcox-Trask bribery cases took place to-day. President Sweetland, of the defunct concern, testified that Wilcox was a stockholder in the concern to the extent of $500, and that he held note against the con cern for $1 ,000 money loaned. JTrask also had an interest in the concern at the time of the fire for services, and he also held note of $500 against the concern for money loaned. Both the notes had been paid since the fire. Mr. Sweetland did not think that the build ing had been insured at all. By vote of the directors an additional insurance was placed on certain portions ofsthe property some time before the fire.
 The witness said that Wilcox was an of ficer of the company, and he thought that he was an honest man, and that he had always been faithful officer. Felix Chillingworth of New Haven, receiv- CT of the Chuck company, was called to state what the value of the chuck shop property was at the time of the fire and what it was
 
 of the insurance was $31, ,500. The receiver made the statement after refreshing bis mem ory with memoranda.
 Gordon Hall, of Simpson, Hall, Miller & Co.,, told how he had conversation with Constable Austin, who told him that he had received note for $50 from Trask in the way of fixing up matter in which Wilcox had some connection. Auetin said that the note transaction grew out of the fire in the shed in the rear of the Wallace block. The witness was told that MT. Wilcox had gwen $50 in money. He understood that Austin and Glover wanted to get $100 some way or other and as Mir. Wilcox only had $50 Trask s note was taken as blind.
 MT. Chillihgworth then resumed his testi- mony. He teld how he was director and stockholder in the Sweetland Chuck com pany. He sold his stock to MT. Sweetland for $1 ,500 sometime after the fire. MT. Chillingworth was cross-examined at length. George Pratt, of Middletown, who testified a week ago did not put in an appearance though summoned.
