age when he can join in and enjoy $50
cietys whirl," made his debut in n

'apparition" apparel-sheet and pillow
case-and 1t was ghostly sight when
they gathered In the parlor again. Con
undrums were stuck up on the walls
and the one who guessed the most OF
them was to receive prize and the one
who guessed the least number was to get
booba prize. Miss Nellie Armor carried
of the first prize and Jos. Mitchell the
second. The ghosts all looked alike so
that no one could tell male from fe-
male ghost. After considerable sport
and about time for the 'spirits" TO gath
or around the festive board, Mrs. Arm
old managed to pick out the girls In the
crowd and they were sent up stairs
and attached to the end Of string, and
each ghost down stairs was given the
end Of string which he was to follow
up and the apparition he found at the
other end of the string was to be his
partner for supper. An elegant repast
was served and at 200 A. M. Saturday
the young people departed for their

Lock the Door.

Tramps occupied the lookup several
nights last week, Thursday night there
were six In and on Friday night three,
and the building was left open so they
could go when they pleased. Tramps,
and especially the class that has been
lettering around Reynoldsville the past
week, should have the key turned on
them when they enter the lookup and
kept there until the next morning. The
lookup is a good place for them to stay
until the streets are forsaken for the
night and then they can prowl around a
number OF business places without do
ing much travelling. II the lookup
must be given to them, then lock them
In until morning.

STONY CREEK AROUSED.

Stony Creek, Conn, Dec. S0.-Much disappointment is felt here at the ac- ton of the county commissioners in granting liquor licenses to John F.. Dunn and Charles Arienta. The fact that three others were refused li- censes makes no difference to the in- dignant people, who say that one sa- loon is as bad as six. It had been hop ed by the residents that the county commissioners would reject all the ap- p1iCations. A large majority of the res idents are against the licensing of sa- looms and the town would always vote no license except for the Branford vote. The summer residents are also against license and have joined with the town people in the effort to do away with sa- looms.

Judge Hotchlciss.
 | Judge Hotchkiss a few days ago filed decision in the court Of common pleas in the case of Prof. John A. Robinson, l formerly custodian of the Yale law school library, against John w. Clapp Of this city, This is the second decision The suit was brought by Prof. Robin son some years ago to prevent MT Clapp from erecting a building on lot next to his heuSe on Bradley street. l The plaintiff claimed that the erection of the house in question would cut off the light from the windows on that 1 side of the house, and also practically destroy a well and a tree An injunc- tion was applied for and made per- manent in the court of common pleas. The defendant appealed to'the supreme court and after hearing the case the 1 learned judges decided to grant a new trial The case was accordingly re- | tried before Judge Hotchkiss, and in his | decision he finds for the plaintiff to recover costs. While no opinion has yet been filed it is understood that the judge makes his decision on lines laid down by the supreme court judges in their reasons for granting a new trial | of the case. It is the first time that this precise issue has been decided by any court in this country. Arvine and Rus sell appeared for the plaintiff and H. G. Newton and J. B. Futile for the de- fendant.
