An Evening Court Case-The Case
 Against Catcher Decker to be Tried
 This Morntng-A Acquisition.
 The case against E. Harry Decker, one of the newly signed catchers of the local ball team, came up before Judge Pickett in the city court last evening. Decker pleaded not guilty to both the charges. Owing to the absence of his attorney, c. E. Hoadley, upon the request of the defendant his in- terests were ably looked after by Hon. Da- vid Callahan. Superintendent Bollmann was put upon the stand and offered in evi- dence the two warrants he had received from Chief of Detectives Wood of Phila- delphia. He also spoke of a telephone communication held with Chief Woods yesterday morning in reference to the matter. Attorney Callahan objected to the admission of such evidence, but Judge Pickett ruled that it was admissible. The case was continued until 9:45 o'clock this morning. Harvey Munson was present prepared to give bonds for Decker's ap- pearance when wanted, but Judge Pickett ruled that he could not receive bonds in the case.
 One of the warrants charge Decker with forging check for $15 on one G. H. Bates, and the other with stealing suit of clothes worth $40 from Frank H. Clay ton of the Windsor hotel, Philadelphia.
 Superintendent Bollman last evening re- ceived dispatch from the authorities at Philadelphia to the effect that Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania had granted their request, and had made application to the governor of this state for a requisition. The dispatch further stated that the off cers with the application were now on their way to this state.

THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

Matters of Not Exciting Nature
 Come Up For Consideration.
 Quiet and calm was the meeting of the board of public works last evening. J. F. Moran was present, @ representative of Lee & Hoyt, who are putting up new building at the corner of Union and Fair streets and requested permission from the board in the name of the firm to raise the walk at that corner. This was referred to the committee on streets.
 Adam H. Mann, who-lives on Gibbs street, was told by the mayor that it would be month or more before any thing could be done in constructing a sewer on his street. Certain negotiations with the Consolidated road are first neces- sary for rightof way
 A complaint was made of the condition of the walk in front of Aliens blacksmith shop on Grand avenue, near Bradley street, which was referred to Superinte-d- ent Doyle with instructions to inyesti- gate.
 There was some question raised on the e1pediency of an engineer to assist the park commissioners in laying out the parks, but no action was taken.
 The mayor reported that the injunction suit of William Reed to restrain the city from removing fence at the present ter minus of Gibbs street had been dissolved, and that he should notify the owners of the fence to remove it at once, and if he did not comply to instruct the superin- tendent of streets to do it.
 The board adjourned until next Wednes- day

WILL INSPECT OAK STREET.

 The Committee Listens to Different |
 Claims and Makes Some Hec0m- \
 mendations-Bad State of Affairs on I
 Oak Street. \
 The meeting of the committee on claims was unusually we'll attended last evening. Attorney Philip Pond was present to ad- vocate the claim of Domenico and Angiola Musco, his wife, for damages. The 14th of January Mrs. Musco slipped on an iron cover of coal hole on State street, in front of the Centennial American Tea store.
 The woman sprained her ankle and was laid up about two months. The commit tee after considering the claim voted to give leave to withdraw.
 Mrs. Catherine Mckenzie, who lives at the corner of Oak and Factory streets, was present with about dozen witnesses to testify in behalf of her claim for $500 damages caused by the flooding of Der property. The time specified was last October r. From the evidence given it is plain that when ever 8 heavy rain occurs there is bad state of affairs on Oak street. This is due to the water setting back in the sewers and overfewing. Some of the witnesses testified to getting up some times in the dead of night to protect their houses from the water. One man said he had been obliged, at such times, to wade in water up to his middle -z- '-eHa Mrs. McKenzie's house was seriously injured, the foundation badly washed and other damage done. She was instructed I to make out an itemized statement of her damages and present the same to Assistant City Clerk Martin. The matter was post poned and the committee will pay 8 visit of inspection to the locality.
 Mrs. Julia Cooper of Hamden appeared l in behalf of the petition of Mary A.. Hoad- ley for abatement of taxes. She stated that Mrs Hoad1ey was nearly seventy years of age, had been totally blind for the past twenty years and was unable to pay a tax which amounts to nearly $90. She owns quarter interest in the property at No. 47 Ferry street, which is taxed yearly about $63, and also owns little more. property in North Haven. Her husband is about | five years older than she and is nearly blind himself
 The committee after considering the claim gave petitioner leave to withdraw. Daniel Healey, who lives on State street l near Neck bridge, received $25O recom- mendation for the damage done his prop l erty by water year or more ago. He claimed $1 ,000 damages.
 l The committee recommended $100 to Catherine Judge and gave Joseph B. Derby and James G. Reilly leave to withdraw.
