testimony III reDuUUal was OHefeQ Dy the petitioners in the road case, last week Tuesday. Nelson T. Hall gave distances and confirmed previous testimony about the travel on City road. Charles Sher- wood had had conversations with J. w. Johnson; did not know until the case came on that Johnson was in favor of closing the road. He thought that it could not legally be discontinued that worked for the old Water Co. and bought land. This lay in the bed of the reser- voir, bounded east by City road. It was purchased in 1886. Sherwood thought that the road could not be discontinued. Another road should be bnilt, as the Fly draulic Co. did at Island Brook pond {; the old road was discontinued and new one built by the company. E. N. Tay- Tor confirmed his previous testimony. Joseph Wheeler said that the bridge was g feet wide and cost $75. Civil Engi- neer B. II. Hull had been over the pro- posed route twice since the previous eX- animation. He found a quantity of rocks and boulders, but the rocks were not so hard there as on the opposite side and he found no solid rock. Charles Beard gave prices for laying stone work for abutments, etc. A. H. French testi- fled that nothing was said to him about money by MT Beers, though something was said by the Water Go. W.J. Haines thought that smaller bridge would an swer. One culvert between upper bridge and dam. c. w. Blackman had asked a number of questions in regard to the le- gality of discontinuance. Mir Garfield assented, if the Water Co. would help build the road. He also said that he ad- vised them that they could discontinue the City road. The hearing was then adjourned to July 24, when, it is hoped arguments may be heard.

Burglary.

About , O'Clock yesterday morning
burglars effected an entrance into the resi-
dence of Mr.. L. II. Silyey, on Eoff street,
near the Female College, but were fright
ened away before they secured anything.
From what can be learned, there were five
of the men, and four remained below stairs
while the fifth went up, it is supposed, to
clear the way for the others, for one OF
Mr.. Silvey's daughters swoke about the
time the man entered the room and saw
him standing near the bed with q handker-
chief in his hand, while the odor of cloro-
form was plainly noticeable.
She screamed for help and the marsuder
Immediately made tracks fer the door, and
the entire household being awakened the
burglars decamped, having secured moth
ing whatever. The men are thought to be
a gang Of amateur burglars and they are
liable to getinto trouble.
