 Gen Kellogg and Jndge J. w. Webster for the appellants, and Attorney George E. Terry of this city and J. w. filling of New Haven for the appellees, appeared be- fore the Supreme Court of Errors at Hart ford yesterday, and made arguments in the case of Brown & Brothers against Will liam H. Brown, ct al, executors. This IS the we'll known case in which suit was brought to recover on note of William IL. Brown, son and one of the executors of the estate of Philo Brown, president of Brown & Brothers. w. H. Brown was sec retary of the concern and was helped by his father with funds of the corporation. At the time of the fathers death note of the son for $125, ,00O was in existence, but unknown to other officers of the concern. w. H. Brown became one of the executors of his fathers estate, and this note was not included in the claims made by the execu- tors till 1884, when w. H. Brown had re- signed his office, and nearly year after the time the estate was ordered to be set tied. The corporation brought suit to re. cover the amount of this note, and the Su, perior Court for New Haven County granted non-suit on the ground that the note was in the hands of the executors during the time for the presentation of claims Whether it was legally in the hands of the executors is the point now raised.

Truants Sent to the Reform School
 Violation q the 12 O'clock Law.
 There was unusual hustle around the Police Court this morning when it was known that State Agent Giles Potter had yesterday swooped down on four incor- rigible youths. Frank P. Walsh of Ayers street, Il years old, was arrested for truancy some time ago but he immediately returned to his old habits. The court com mitted him to the Reform School. Leroy Stevens, 12 years old, had been playing truancv ever since his mother died, some three weeks ago. His father promised to look after him and the court let him off with reprimand.
 John Rourke, 12 years old, has been en- toying the fine coasting. His mother said that the reason he staid away from school was because he was suffering with tooth ache and headache and made such an earnest plea for mercy that the court con- tinued his case for 30 days.
 Harry Galway, 12 years old, who had a narrow escape from drowning while skat- ing on the ice near Hopeville in December and who was called into court the day fol- lowing his escapade and had his sentence suspended, had such bad record fol truancy that the court committed him to the Reform School His mother created such a scene in court that she had to be re- moved.
 Three drunks were each fined $1 and costs. Patrick Hackett an East Main street saloon keeper, was charged with keeping open after 12 o'clock Wednesday night. Officer Burns testified that four men came out of Hackett's saloon at 80 Thursday morning. Hackett who pleaded his own case denied that he sold them any drink but the court fined him S25 and costs, from which he took an appeal.

Sol Smith Russell's Performance Last

 Sol Smith Russell was greeted by good sized audience at the Opera House last evening and his performance was renew al of his former success in this city. It was the first production here of his new play "Bewitched," " and to say that the re- presentation was received with enthusiasm faintly expresses it. Mir Russell was at his best in the specialties and was compelled to respond to two encores. His support was good.
 On Monday evening at the Opera House will be presented Charles H. Hoyt's new play, "A Tin Soldier" which is character ized as "The Rag Baby's Brother" This new piece of MT Hoyt's treats of a plumber An idea of it's character may be gathered from the following from the Chicago Evening Journal: "The plumber, is called in by young married couple to repair some leaks in the water-pipes. and through his cheeky doings, aided and abetted by rascally apprentice, he suc- ceeded ill keeping the household in tur- moil. The plumber is also the inventor of a flying machine which worries hlm, and eventually proves failure. Several other interesting characters are introduced, ,all of whom are instrumental in keeping the fun going. While A Tin Soldier somewhat resembles the Rag Baby it contains sev- eral scenes of far more boisterous and noisy character than are to be found in that piece, but on the whole it is even more laughable. It would be impossible to enumerate the many Imaginable incidents that follow each other in rapid succession. J
