To the Editor of the DEMOCRAT:


Regarding the sale of the subscrip-
ton season tickets for the music festival
of the Harmonic society, there seems to
be either a mistaken impression about
the price and the advantages to be de-
rived from purchasing them so far in
advance, or else the matter has not been
clearly and sufficiently explained to the
public. The price of these tickets is
$3.50 each, emitting the holder to ad-
mission to both afternoon and evening
performances, with reserved seat. The
exchange of these subscription tickets
for reserved seat coupons will take place
Monday April 18th, at the store of the
briggs &c Smith Co. Seats for either or
both concerts will not be sold from the
chart until week later, April co. All
who wish to have the first choice of
seats, must buy subscription tickets of
the members of the society or at briggs
d Smith Co.'S music store before the 18th
of April, as no tickets will be sold on
that day.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

Edgar w. Pinney the Legal Town Agent
and Superintendent of Highways.
The supreme court judges were in
session at Hartford all day yesterday
and handed down decisions in Water
bury cases as follows:
Edgar w. Pinney VS. F. J. Brown
superior court is advised that Pinney is
the superintendent of highways in the
town of Waterbury and that Brown is
not town agent reasons by Andrews,
9. j.
This case involved two questions, viz
Whether Edgar w. Pinney or Robert
Fruin is the lawful superintendent of
highways for the town of Waterbury
and whether Edgar w. Pinney or Fred
j. Brown is the lawful town agent for
the town. Various votes were passed at
town meetings and by the selectmen in
regard to filling these positions, but as
these appointments seemed to conflict it
was determined to bring the matter
into court to settle definitely who was
legally entitled to the offices in question.
1t will be remembered that Robert
Fruin was appointed superintendent of
highways at a town meeting shortly
after the October election. S. w. KEEL
logg was counsel for Pinney and l.. F.
Burpee for Brown.
James Farrell VS. Waterbury Horse
Terrence, j.
The plaintiff was standing on the
track directing workmen in a trench
dug under the tracks, and was injured
by being struck by a car. The driver
saw him and shouted to him when $50
feet away, but Farrell did not hear the
warning. The driver then paid no more
attention to Farrell until just before the
accident occurred, being busted with
removing the coupling pin so as to de-
tach the horses from the car preparatory
to taking them around the hole
The lower court decided that on the
facts found the defendant was negligent,
and that the plaintiff was guilty of con-
tributory negligence, and the court as
sessed only nominal damages. An APP
peal was taken. The plaintiff claimed
that he was not negligent; also, that if
he were somewhat negligent, his negli-
gence was not the proXimate cause of
the injury. Webster and O'Neill for the
plaintiff; Terry and Bronson, for the de-
PENDANT.
John O'Brien VS. Miller & Strickland:
no error; reasons by Andrews, G. J.
O'Brien was injured by one of Miller
& Strickland's teams in a runaway ac-
cident, and brought suit. The lower
court rendered decision for the defen-
dants.
Louis NJ. Meyer VS. Angelo c. Burritt:
error; reasons by Torrance, j.
This was an action to recover taxes
The defendant entered a demurrer
which was overruled by the lower
court, whose decision was reversed.

All Shore Line trains yesterday after

trouble there before, and the bridge is
now reported about a foot out of place,
probably owing to settling of the
foundations in soft soil.

STRUCK 4 sNAc
Apparent Wreck of the Proposed state
Base Ball League.

APPoASAEs esAOCk Ok the proposed state
Base Ball League.
Unless the signs SO clearly shown at
yesterdays meeting fail, the proposed
state league of base ball clubs Is a
wreck. The rock upon which it split is
the question of guarantee to visiting
clubs or large percentage of the gate
receipts. This rock was struck bows
on, and the stately ship which was ex-
pected to sail so majestically through
the season has big hole stove in her
bottom. If she doesn't sink entirely out
OF sight before she can be rescued, it
will be surprise.
The meeting was held in Hartford,
with delegates present from Hartford.
Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Britain,
Plainvllle and Bristol. After consider
able informal talk, and reports from the
delegates as to the readiness of the vari-
GUS cities to enter the league, a perma-
nent organization was effected.
Nearly all the afternoon was spent in
discussing the division of gate receipts.
The plan which had been generally dis
cussed, and which it was supposed met
the approval of all the clubs, was for
the home club to take 55 per cent and
and the visiting team 40 per cent, the
other per cent to go into the treasury
as guarantee fund to finish the season
L. FL. Hayes said Waterbury could not
agree to that plan. and would Withdraw
If it was adopted. He insisted that the
old method of fixed guarantee was the
only thing Waterbury would agree to.
All the other delegates favored the per-
centage plan. Some of them wavered a
little, however, and seemed inclined to
accede to what Mr. Hayes wanted, but
the Hartford delegates remained firm
They said if the fixed guarantee plan
was adopted they should withdraw from
the meeting. Mr Hayes said he should
do the same thing if the other plan was
adopted. No vote was taken and the
meeting adjourned, subject to the call
of the president.
