A Few of the Young Republicans to
 Form a Social and Political Club.
 A project is on foot to found young mems Republican club on 8 little grander scale than the present Young Mems club and similar to the league. s. M. M. Smith, James A. Howarth and Attorney 0. B. Matthew man are the chief projectors of this affair, but as yet nothing definite has been decided. They wish to get a whole house, centrally located, and it it up in good style and have a nice social club.
 Mr. Smith stated to COURIER reporter last night that while there was some i'll feel ing among the younger members of the club, there was not the slightest chance of "split" and the club which they hope to form will simply be branch of the Young Republican club, and the members of the new club will also remain members of the other club. He also said that if this new organization was formed it would still cons tinue in the campaign work, and would also remain on the very best of terms with the Young Republican club.

Sneak Thieves In Town.

The police are of the opinion that a num- Der of sneak thieves are in town. They use skeleton keys and try to enter front doors of residences where they think they can make a good haul. One tried his hand on a Park street residence yesterday afternoon. He had the door unlocked when the servant girl opened it, thinking one of the family had come home. She was surprised to see a stranger, who tried to excuse himself, saying he must have mistaken the residence, and then skipped.

To Set Aside an Administrators Deed

The case of Alfred E. Chapin against Henry Abbe, both of Enfield, was begun in the Superior court at Hartford yesterday. Attorneys 0. H. Hayden and L. E. Munson of New Haven appeared for the plaintiff, ,and Attorneys Brisooe and Andrews for the de- fendant. The point at issue is to set aside an administrators deed where the land was purchased by himself through third party on the day of the sale. The plaintiff claims that it is contrary to the policy of the law in fraud of the heirs. The statutes provide that in such a case another administrator may be appointed who can act at the sale. The strong point claimed by the plaintiff is that the deed to A. F. Allen (the third party) and the quit claim are both recorded on the same day,

 Ship building has shared in the general building activity which the fine winter weather that we are now enjoying has fos- tered, and the ship yards are alive with busi- ness. People riding along the west shore have their attention attracted by the skeleton Of mammoth ship which is just being start ed at Henry Sutton's yard. It will be one of the largest ships ever seen here and the big gest ever constructed in Connecticut. A re- porter visited the yards yesterday and viewed the big ship that is to be. The W. Wallace Ward, built in the same yard last summer, was the largest vessel ever built in the State. It was an 1,s00 ton vessel. This new ship will surpass it in size four hundred tons. New Haven is just now stepping way ahead of other Connecticut ship building town, and there are but few places in New England, and these principally on the Maine coast. The new vessel will be owned chiefly by New Haven parties.
