The appll- cation is, it is said, made by a third party. The signers of the application are C. J, Morse, the owner of the build ing; E. c. Morse, his brother; J. w. Fitzgerald, who resides on Center street, on corner of Meadow; James Barry, a resident of South Colony street, and L, H. Fairchllds, who lives on North Farms, nearly into Meriden.

 THE ADJOURNED ANNUAL BO-
 ROUGH MEETING.
 Warden Morris called the adjourned annual borough meeting to order at 8 o'clock last evening, at which hour there was less than 100 present.
 Attorney Fowler, as chairman of the committee appointed at the last meet ing to investigate the Patten case call ed upon Attorney Harrison to read the report of the investigation. The report consists of a review of both the Bron- som and Patten cases, and figures of the expenses already incurred in the cases in question which showed that on the Bronson case, that has already been settled, the entire costs amount cd to some $1,600, and in the Patteni case, still in court, the costs have amounted to something over s1,000 No new facts were disclosed in the investi- gation but what could be learned by application to the superintendent or the water commissioners. Attorney Fowler stated that he had consulted with MT. Patten on the matter and found that he had never been approach ed on the matter of amicable settlement on the part of the water commissioners or their attorney, and intimated that the case could have been settled for $500. MT Fowler did not favor the taking of the case to the supreme court.
 Judge Hubbard, on the part of the water commissioners, stated that why no attempt had never been made to settle with Patten, was that the plain- tiffs attorney had stated empha ticaly from the first that no sum less than the amount demanded would under any circumstances be accepted; that the claim of Patten for damages was not a valid one, and had no foundation, as the only claim made was that the talk ing of the water from Muddy river in- terferrad with his trout fishing privilege ten miles below, when the fact that the pump was only used in the winter and spring during the time of high water and the water used was so little that it could not be noticed below the pump ing station.
 H. F. Hall made a motion that the committee be authorized to withdraw the Patten case from the court and pay the costs.
 H. F. Hall used a large amount of time in speaking om his own motion, and showed up his great love for the interests of the taxpayers and hoped that the motion would pass. AS there was no one who spoke against the mo- ton it passed without opposition, al- though less than a dozen voted in favor
