To An Application For Commitment
For Contempt.
When Judge Prentice granted a di-
vorce to Mrs Sarah A. Camp from her
husband, Edwin A. Camp, last June, he
fixed the alimony at $7,S75. This
money has not been paid and recently
Mrs Camps lawyer, Attorney O'Neil.
filed an application in the superior
court for the commitment of defend
ant, Mr. Camp, for contempt in refusing
to obey the order of the court. The de-
PENDANT filed a remonstrance to this
motion, a part of which is as follows:
The defendant admits the allegations
of paragraph 8, but says the same are
| insufficient in the law because, he says,
that the court found that the defendant
| was the owner of real and personal
estate of the value of $685. Under
the prayer of the complaint for divorce
and under the statute regulating the
same upon the facts as found, it had no
power legally to render a judgment
| against the defendant for the payment
of a sum of money, but could only
render judgment assigning and set
ting apart to the plaintiff a specific
part or portion of said property, and
| further says that he has three years
from the date of said Judgment wherein
| to bring a writ of error for the correc-
ton of the manifest errors of said judg-
ment and intends within that time tc
bring such a writ of error. He further
states that the defendant does not in
reality own any such amount of prop
erty as he has paid to another party just
and honest debts.
And the defendant also says that the
plaintiff has filed a judgment lien there
for on all the said real estate mentioned
| and has since commenced proceedings
to foreclose the same and said proceed
ings are now pending and if the
plaintiff shall obtain title to said rea
estate by such foreclosure, the same
will be sufficient to pay the plaintiff
claim, wherefore the defendant claims
that he should not be held in contemp
of court.

Alloy" opera company, after witnessing
the performance of his show last even
ing at Bridgeport, started for the depot
to take train for Boston. Men were
at work scrubbing the depot Around
the ticket Office the water was ankle

manager had broken his left leg at the
knee.
1t is said that 26 men have left the
employ of the Berlin Bridge company
since the recent accident there that
caused the death of one man and the
serious injury of another. The work is
fraught with danger and when accidents
do happen they are usually of a dis
tressing character.
Within 25 years there have been %
persons killed at the Webster street
crossing in New Haven. The Consoli-
dated road officials say they are only
waiting for an order from the common
council to erect gates there.
