Grand Opera House.

J. w. Ishan1's Octoroons will be at
 the Grand Opera house the last three days this week, with matinee Satur-
 day. The Philadelphia Record says:
 This is probably the lest company of its kind on the road, beiag composed of artists who are acknowledged to he the leaders of their race. Madame Flower, the star of the company, is aptly spoken of as the bronze Me!ba. Her singing last evening in that DOT tion of the performance styled Thirty
 Minutes Around the Operas" showed
 her to possess a remarka bly, sweet voice. She was supported by Fred !. Piper, and they sang ssla:tions from "Pianfore," "Cavalleria Rusticana,'
 Robin Hood" I'll Trovatore" and Tar
 and Tartar" The performance given
 surdity entitled 'The Blackville Der
 by which we'll served the purpose for (which it was designed, of creating laughter. It abounds in mirth, nerr1-
 ment, dialogue, dancing and several en- tertaining specialties were introduced
 between the races in which the leading members of the company showed them selves to be versatile and possessed of talent of high order. Probably the
 most interesting feature of the olio was the Spanish ballet "Strollers of Old
 Madrid Madame Hyer, the Califor-
 mia Songbird, who rendered several vocal gems in aM artistic manner; Frank and Edward, Shorty May and
 Edward Turber, and Tom Brown also contributed to the general excellence of the entertainment.
 Of all the bright comedies written by IsHarry and Edward Paulton, none has
 achieved greater success than their bright operatic comedy, "Dorcas,'' which was toured very successfully both in a financial and artistic sense, last
 season, and which will be presented here next Tuesday and Wednesday. for two nights and a matinee, at the Grand
 opera house. by an aggregation of op- cratic and light comedy celebrities.

REFEREEs DECISION FILED.

REFEREES DECISION FILED.
 The decision of State Referee Dwight Loomis, in the suits of Merwln S. Thompson and William M. Granniss of East Haven, against John Maloney of that place, brought in 1885, to compel him to abolish an establishment for the disposition of dead animals, which is next to the farms of the plaintiffs, was filed in the superior court yesterday morning. They each claimed $10,00O damages and an injunction to prevent Maloney from operating his factory, The referee recommends that the in junction be granted in each case, and that $500 damages and costs be awarded to Merwin s. Thompson. If the court finds that Granniss did not complain until after he brought the suit, he rec ommends judgment for $10 and costs, but if the court finds that he had pre- viously made complaint together with MT. Thompson, Judgment to recover $500 and costs is recommended.

Poli,s Wonderland Theater.

In response to many inquiries the Courier is able to announce to-day, on the authority of the management of Polls Wonderland theater, that the to- tai figures of attendance during the twenty days that Lumiere's cine matographe has been on exhibition there, reached the enormous total of 122,607, which is an average of nearly 5000 a day. If the attendance contin- ues till the close of the engagement on Saturday evening, as is now fully indi- cated, the total will exceed 140,000, which will undoubtedly stand for months to come as the record for a single attraction in New Haven. The speciality bill is attracting much com mendation this week, giving excellent satisfaction. The cinematographe is shown afternoons at and 5, and at S:30 and 10:20 evenings. Next week the four Nelson sisters.

YESTERDAY IN THE COURTS
TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS HAND-
 I'D DOWN BY SUPREME COURT.

Decision Against City in the Chapel Street
 Bridge Case-Frank Sheridan Sentenced
 to Seven Years For Attempted Robbery
 and Actual Violence-Conway Gets Four
 Years-Dean to be Tried in New London
 Gases in Civil Side, Superior Court
 Other Cases In City and Justice Courts.
 The supreme court in session in Hart ford yesterday handed down two i'm portant decisions in New Haven county cases.
 One is the mandamus proceedings brought to compel the city of New Haven to build a bridge over the tracks of the Consolidated road on East Cha pei street. By the decision the demur- Ter to the citys reasons why they should not be compelled to build the bridge is sustained. The decision while not final is decidedly against the city, and it is probable that Corpora tion Counsel Ely will advise the court of common council to appropriate money at once for the building of the bridge jointly with the railroad com pany.
 These questions were taken to the supreme court on a reservation and the decision rendered yesterday will un- doubtedly conclude the litigation.
 The second decision of the supreme court is in the suit of Catherine Shields of Naugatuck against Timothy O'Reil- ly. No error is found. The suit was brought by Mrs. Shields to recover $1,2oO damages from Reilly, who is her son-in Jaw, for the board and support of his wife and child from 1893 to 1895. during which time O'Reilly was sepa- rated from his wife. In the lower court Mrs. Shields was granted $4O0 dam- ages.

Superior Court Criminal Side-Judge
 Thayer.

Superior Court-C Criminal Side-Judge Thayer.
 Judge Thayer yesterday sentenced Frank Sheridan of Mt Carmel to seven years in state prison for attempt at robbery with actual violence. The case was a very bad one and to all who heard the evidence the sentence ap- pears none too heavy. Sheridan was charged with going to the house of Forest S. Smith in Mt. Carmel on the night of March 2S and clubbing MT. Smith to insensibility and very nearly to death with a crowbar and shovel. The assault was one of the most brutal ones which has been made in this coun- ty for some time and it appeared to be no fault of Sheridan that he did not kill MT. Smith. As 1t was, for days Smiths life hung in the balance and it is very fortunate for Sheridan that he was not tried for murder instead of for attempted robbery with actual vio- lence. The jury was out only about two minutes and returned with yer dict of guilty.
 CONWAY GETS FOUR YEARS.
 William Conway, charged with at tempted rape on Mrs. Annine Thomp- son of 493 East street, was put on trial in the superior court yesterday. The principal witness in the case, Mrs. Thompson, died on August Is, and the evidence against Conway consists of Mrs. Thompson's statement in the city court to the effect that he entered the window of her house, pulled her from a sick bed, and attempted to assault her. At 3 o'clock the jury retired to pre- pare a verdict and In short time re- turned a verdict of guilty. The court sentenced Conway to four years im- prisonment.
 DEANS CASE NOLLED. a
 State Attorney Williams yesterday nolled the case against, Edward J. Dean, the brakeman who shot Michael Mahoney, the tramp, who was stealing ride on a freight rain on the Shore Line road on September 26.
 This action was taken because Sher- If R. o. Jackson of New London coun- ty was in the court room with war rant for Deans arrest in that county. Sheriff Jackson took his man to New London, and there he will be tried, if Mahoney appears against him.
 OTHER CRIMINAL CASES.
 State Attorney Williams yesterday morning entered polle in the theft case against Oscar Frank of Walling- ford, who was accused of stealing a COW.
 Rose Gehring pleaded guilty to the theft of gold watch from Max Reiger, and was sentenced to one year in jail therefor.
 Thomas Cassidy pleaded guilty to statutory burglary, and was sentenced to one year in states prison.
 Superior Court-Civil side-Judge Shum- way.
 In the civil superior court, before Judge Milton A. Shumway, the divorce case of John H. Bradnack of Fair Ha- ven against his wife, Mary c. Brad mack, was heard yesterday. Attorney Prentice W. Chase appeared for the plaintiff and Attorney David | Strouse for the defendant. The suit is grounded on allegations of infidelity covering a period between July, 1895 1 and November of the same year, an( | Daniel H. Donegan is named as core. | Spondent
