DEEP RIVER IN LUCK.
Its Rich Men Compete for the Honor or
building Its Town Hail.

DEEP RIVER. Conn. Sept. 17.-At tho town
meeting tomorrow q peculiar quarrel will be
settled Deep River wants q Few Town Hail.
and wants it very much indeed. The local
newspaper the Era, has discussed the snbjec.
in its editorial columns. and finding that most
people did not feel able to spend the money
it appealed to the wealthy citizens to help In
the project The appeal touched Eeprssenta-
tive W. W. Jennings. and at town meeting he
made q proposition which was accepted He
offered to build suitable Town Hall II the
town would lease him the town plot for thirty
live years. at the end OF that time tho building
and land to revert to tho town free OF all en-
cumbrance.
,Ex-Iiepresontative S. II. Jennings was not at
the meet ng. and when he heard Of II he made
MP hi. mind that he must have q finger In the
pie. He got the Selec men to call another
Town meeting. at which b. will make O propo-
si!ion that. i the former vote DO rescindsd. be
will hnild q $4,000 Town Hall and give it to
the town free from any conditions Whatever.
This strikes the frugal Deep Rivertes as very
liberal.
The meeting will bs crowded. and tho former
vote will undoubtedly be rescinded. The two
men are first cousins, and each received his
fortune from Russell Jennings. the million afro
bit manufacturer.

A novel ground for a new trial was that the
jury while considering the case took steam
bont trip across the river to Arkansas. and was
therefore out OF the iurisdictlon OF the court
and free from all restraint. Ihis pom, WIS

taken merely for exercise.
Tho objection that the Jurors drank WnlSkev
without a physicians order or the consent OF
tho court was oyerruled because they did not
drink 10 excess. Still another ground was
the trial. This was overrnlsd because 1t was
