from collecting judgments Of $700 and
$500 respectively awarded them in libel
suits brought against Michael O'Con-

| Wheeler In the superior court.
It is claimed that new evidence has
been discovered regarding a certain
beer pipe that was put into OConnell's
bed room by the plumbing firm of
Clerkin & Mcdonald. The petition sets
| up that e. A. Rourke Of 1886 Grand
avenue says that since the judgment
| was rendered against O'Connell he,
Rourke heard Mcdonald say that he
tcould not tell whether the beer pipe was
| put TN the bar room or bed room by
him. It further sets forth that Joseph
| A. Campbell Of this city heard Nc
Donald tell R. A. Campbell that he
| did not put any pipe In the bed room
for O'Conneil and further that r. A.
Campbell and ). A. Campbell had a
talk with Mcdonald since the trial, dur
| ing which conversation Mcdonald said
he did not know in which room he
/ put the pipe. When reminded by the
| Campbells that he had sworn that he
had put the pipe In the bed room, the
writ alleges, that Mcdonald replied that

A motion to dissolve the injunction
will probably be made in a few days.

Which, 1t Ia to be Put.
"A circular announces that a meeting
will be held at the Connecticut state
building at Colonial park, near New
Haven, July 20, at 3 p. M. to decide
upon a use for the building and TO
consider the advisability of forming an
organization. After reviewing the his
tory of the removal of the building
from the worlds fair grounds to It's
present location, the circular says: "It
has been suggested that 1t be made the
depository of colonial and revolutionary
relics Of various character, and Of
books, papers. portraits, etc, OF historic
interest of whatever antecedents as TO
time, including souvenirs of the worlds
Columbian exposition such as will ex-
cite the interest and stimulate the curl
osity of those to whom that memorable
event will be only a matter of historic
interest of the long past. There seems
to be one good reason for believing that
this edifice-the only state building at
the exposition, with one exception
which had been rescued from oblivion
may be made the permanent feaduuar-
tiers OF patriotic organization which
through the coming years shall have
its maintenance and general welfare In
its keeping"
