 Case Ky tue Supreme Court.
 In the supreme court of errors at New Haven yesterday. Judge Tenn presiding a decision was rendered which will interest residents of Naugatuck and Waterbury, In July, 1892, Mrs Aida l.. All@rton of Field street. put into the hands of Real Estate Agent W. J. Schlegel for sale the old Allerton homestead on Church street Naugatuck. The place had been in the market for some time. but the owners could not get any one to offer more than s7 900 for it. This offer was made by John H. WhittemOre. whose property the place in question joins. When w J SchIeeel got hold of ths place he called on Mir Whittemore and succeeded in getting him to offer few hundred dollars more than he had offered before. Then the agent called around through Naugatuck and met Patrick Conran. who offered S1O, GOO for the property When Mir Whittemore was informed of Mir Conran's bid he finally decided to pay sl1 .000 for the place. The agent was holding out for sl4 .nOO, but after some tune he decided to dispose of the place for Sll 800. Mrs Allerton was stepping at her summer resi- dence in Middlebury at that time and Mir White more called on her snd bought the place for tha. amount without seeing Mir Schlegtl. A few days after the sale had been effected MT Conran met Real Estate Agent SchleGel and wanted to know why he did not give him another chance to bid on the place before closing it out. The ! agent knew nothing of the sale and so in- formed Mir Conran. When he satisfied | himself that the place had been sold he ! called on MT Whittemore to inquire about the matter and was told by that gentleman l il a: the purchase had been made direct 1 through the owner and George Allerton 1 had agreed to notify the agent George 1 Al!ertOn is the sIepson of Mrs Allerton and was then employed at the rubber l shop. where he was seen by Mir Schlegel in relation to the commission. ali amount

 He told him to send his bill to Mrs Aller ton and it would be paid. This the agent did, but no notice was taken of it anG 1 when Mrs Al!erton was seen about thu 1 matter she informed the agent that she bad no account with him. The agen | threatened to have recourse to law to col lsCt bis bill but this did not seem to have the desired effect. Later when NJ
 Schlegel sold the Dutton property or Field street to J. w. Webster. George Al lerton's father .in-law, Mir Allerton called at Mir Schlegers office and offered to settl, the account of S23O for the sum of S25 The offer was refused and the m ltter wa

tiful both in finish and design. The accom-
panyfng sketch. prepared by the architect
of the church. Mr.. Il. p. Chandler of Phil
adelphia, gives a good idea of the exterior
appearance of the edifice. although 1t Is
the intention of the architect to make the
steeple somewhat higher. and other minor
changes may be made. The ceiling of the
church will be spanned with massive oak
timbers, giving fine effect, while the num-
erous arches will tend to heighten the
Gothic and rich appearance
Although the name of the church Is ST.
Thomas the parish goes by the name of
Calvary parish. as ii was named when first
set aside. A request to change the name
of the parish to correspond with the name
of the church will come before the coming
convention of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the diocese of Maryland, to be
held in Baltimore the latter part Of May,
and will no doubt be granted. Just when
the new church will be completed is an
open question, resting largely on the con-
dition of the finances. The church could
be made ready for the use of the congre-
CATION within year, but 1t will probably
be two years before it Is finished. Work,
according to the present plans. will go on
only so fast as the money flows in. The
church has done remarkably well, 1t Is
thought, in raising slS.0O. in addition to
paying for the chapel and its furnishings,
all within the last twelve months or so.
