The Judges Will Have to Work With
 out Pay For the Present Decisions
 Given This Morning,
 Judge Bradstreet rendered the follow ing decisions this morning:
 In the case of Esther I. Brown vs Franklin Farrell tt al, judgment was rendered for the plaintiff to recover S57, ,627. .53. The case was one in which the defendant had become the endorser of a note in the Brown & Brothers muddle. It occupied the district court quite long time and a large number of witnesses were examined. Attorneys Burpee, Terry and John w. filling of New Haven for plaintiff; Kellogg & Kellogg for defendant. A general ap- peal will be taken by the defendant.

AFTER 147 YEARS.

Removal of the Remains of Timothy
 Hopkins, Buried in 1s44.
 All the headstones and monuments in the old Grand streetcemetery with the exception of few on the south end, have been removed. Workmen are busy to-day ploughing up the ground prepar- atory to the grading process. The re- mains of one who has left behind him a name of honor and history and whose connection with Waterbury in it's infancy is often spoken of were removed this afternoon. The bones and skull were in a remarkable state of preservation con- sidering the number of years that has elapsed since they were inferred. Timothy Hopkins was buried in 1744. He left two sons, Rev Dr Samuel Hop kins, who was born in a house that stood on the corner of East Main and Brook streets. He was one of the founders of the Hopkinsian school for theology. Professor Mark Hopkins, the other son, was at one time president of Williams college.
 The work of grading and renovating the grounds will now be pushed rapidly and ere long what was once a gloomy graveyard will be resort for recreation and amusement.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Death From LOclxjaw, of Miss Ella Latin
 of Birmingham.

Death From LOcl<jaw, of Miss Ella Latin
 of Birmingham.
 Miss Ella Latin of Birmingham, who four weeks ago injured her foot by step ping upon a garden rake, died to-day from lockjaw. The wound at first healed, but two weks ago symptoms of lockjaw set in. and for several days nourishment had to be given through a tube inserted in the patients throat. The girl was seventeen years of age.
 Florence Shea of Willimantic was re- gently kicked in the head while groom ing horse and died from his injuries yesterday. He was about 65 years old.
 Garrick Cornell, an old soldier, died at the Hartford jail, yesterday afternoon. Last Tuesday Cornell was sent to jail from the police court in Hartford for 60 days, for vagrancy. When he was taken into the jail he was in a very feeble condi- tion ,and has since been delirious. He was taken at once to the jail hospital, but all the good care given him did not re- store his health. He was unable to sleep and sank rapidly. The doctor who had the case m charge says that the cause of death was alcoholism. A furlough dated from the Soldiers Home at Noroton last October was found in one of Cornelrs pockets after his death. It gave him leave to go to Middletown.

coNNEcTIcUT's NEW MAP.
Its Early Completion Delayed by the
 GOVernOrship ImbrogIio.

Professor Brewer, chairman of the state commission in charge of the new typographical map of Connecticut, says that the field work on the map will all be done before the close of the present month, and that the sheets, some thirty in number, will be finished by July 1 at the latest. The field work has been somewhat delayed, owing to accidents to two of the surveyors. In printing the map as a whole, and getting the work before the public, there is likely to be some delay also over the lack of an appropriation which, but for the gov ernorship imbroglio, the legislature would probably have granted
 The new map, after the first sheets are completed, will be got out on scale reduced one half and of about two miles to the inch. It will show contours of hills and mountains, swamps, roads, forests, country houses and town lines The latter are likely to cause some dis putes, as they have been very badly pre- served by the towns, hose selectmen have been very lax in observing the law for verifying the town boundaries IL is hoped that the reduced map will be in the hands of the engraver by the end of the present year.

ADJUSTMENTS.
\ Circus in Name Only.

Circus in Name Only. The worst thing under canvas that ever struck Waterbury was the circus SO o-calIed, of Washburn & Arlington, given here yesterday. There was not one redeeming feature-the show was wretched from beginning to end, and the large crowd in attendance went home disgusted. How such papers as the Bridgeport Post and the Meriden Republican could find soul to puff up such show as they did, according to the clippings left at this office by the agent, we are at loss to understand. It was rank.
 ''Ship Ahoy.''
 ''Ship Ahoy," the new opera which made such hit in Boston, will be seen at tine opera house Tuesday evening. Hill and everything will be correct. ''The Colleen Hawn.''
 The tickets for the Irish drama ''Colleen Bawn," which will be p1 e. scented in City hall next Wednesday evening, are selling rapidly. Every thing now points to its being one of the most successful local productions evel seen in Waterbury. Next Monday morning the reserved seats will go or sale at c. Kilbride & Co.'S drug store or East Main street. Tickets are for sale only py members or the cast and at the various stores mentioned before. Prices of admission are B and 30 cents. Lester X Williams Company. Lester & Williams London Novelty Gaiety company will be the attraction at the opera house Monday evening The company has been very materially strengthened since its last appearance here and now gives a performance that cannot fail to please those who enjoy { vaudeville entertainment. There is { snap and go about the show that is re freshing, and the various acts intro duced by the twenty members of the company bear the stamp of careful ar engagement and originality.
