Street Improvement Going On-W. R. c.
 Officers Elected-Real Estate Transfers--
 Two Company K Men Gone to Fight for
 Cuba.
 Warden Hall has got the right idea of street building, and is putting his ideas into practice on several of the public streets. One strong point he believes in is the use of a heavy roller on macadamized roads, and the rolling of the coarse stone first and then another application when the finer top dressing Is put on. He has had some trouble in getting a roller, and by the way, the borough should own one, as it will be money well invested. At present M F. Cooke's big roller well weighed down, is being used, and for the present works very well, but is not just what is required. Warden Hall has started in well and proposes to put what money is allowed by the appro- priations where it will do the most good, and some of the principal streets which have been in bad condition will be put in fine order if the weather continues favorable Colony, Center and Church streets are now being worked.
 Arthur H. Dutton, W. R. C., elected as officers, Mrs. w. L. Parr, jresident; Mrs. Mary Kavanagh, senior vice; Mrs. F. W. Richards, junior vice; Mrs. A. J. Goodrich treasurer; Miss Harriet Beau mont, chaplain; Mrs. M. w. Futile, conductor; Mrs. E. K Morse, guard. The appointed officers are Mrs. F. A. Wood, secretary; Miss Ella Joab, as- sistant conductor; Mrs. Jennie Barnes, assistant guard; delegate to depart ment convention, Mrs. William Cook; alternate, Mrs. Mary Rich. Three ap- plications for membership were re- ceived
 Recorded real estate transfers are Charles F. Wooding to Frank W. Tal- bot, one lot 50x1S0 feet on Whittlesey avenue; F. A. Wallace to Emma K Allen, lot 50X160 feet on Cherry street; J. w. Butler to J. A. Parker, lot 50X15C feet on Cherry street.

Grand Opera House,

Frank Bush and his fine supporting company drew a large audience at the Grand Opera house last night. Every body has a welcome for Frank Bush, that popular and inimitable comedian. He always has an endless supply of comicalities and has the same airy vehicle for his ubiquitous humor this season in Girl Wanted" The story of the farce is light, but there is a world of amusement in three acts. Mir, Bush plays a role which requires him to as sume a. variety of different characters, both male and female, and which gives him exceptional opportunities to dis play his remarkable versatility as a mimic and a character comedian. The other members of the numerous com pany also have excellent parts in which to show their talent. Girl Wanted" offers an evening of rapid and rollick- ing amusement to those who like to laugh,
 There will be a matinee to-day, as well as the evening performance.
 HANLON'S "SUPERBA."
 The patrons of the Grand Opera house have treat in store for them the first three days next week, MT. Bunnell by giving a heavy guarantee having obtained Hanlon's "Superba" for pro- duction at the Grand Opera house. In consequence of the great expense of this production the prices at the mati- nee Wednesday will be the same as charged in the evening. The Hanlons, who present "Superba" next week at the Grand, are American citizens, and have lived here so long that they can gauge the public taste as well as any body in the country. William, who is the inventor of all the tricks, devices and intricate machinery of the show, travels around the country taking inn pressions, as it were, of the people, and sometimes his best tricks are the re- suits of unconscious celebration. MT Hanlon conceives his. tricks and after wards engages an author to write a situation for it. By degrees the pan tomime is thus built up, and a roman tic story developed around it. There will be no performance at the Hyperion during the stay of "Superba." Posi- lively no free list. Sale of seats now opens for all the performances.

 We all know women who are living on the ragged edge" of nervous ex- haustion.
 They eat their food without relish, sleep without refreshment and worry along day by day half sick, but refus- ing to believe it.
 These women who are farther along in poor health than they think, are the very persons who would find an aston ishing help in Paines celery compound. It's regulating action on their tangled nerves. and its revivifying action upon digestion and assimilation are just what their system is in need of. Why should anyone not try it
The daily morning journal and courier., 1896-12-12

The fact that Paine's celery compound is to-day relied on and recommended, both in public and in their own family circle, by so large portion of the most prudent and thoughtful people in every community, should not be overlooked in determining ones choice of remedy.
 Paine's celery compound is the most successful, the most warmly praised remedy,-just as it was, at the time of its discovery, the most talked of-ever offered by a physician to his fellow practitioners and to the public. Paine's celery compound has more than fulfill led the great things that were expected of 1t when it was first announced to medical men as the discovery of that distinguished scientist, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M D., LID. It is the grandest tnvigorator and strengthener In the world. It offers an escape from nervous exhaustion, neuralgia, sleep lessness and dyspepsia to every man and woman who is robbed of health

YEsTERDAY IN THE COURTS.
Decision by Judge Townsend In Wright
 Deed Case-DiVorces,

beeu CaAe-blNOrCess
 In the United States court yesterday morning Judge William K. Townsend handed down decision in the case of Maria H. P. Wright against Arthur B. Wright, his wife, and others. The suit Is of much local interest as all the par ties concerned are very well known, the complainant being the widow of the late Colonel Dexter R. Wright, who was first colonel of the Fifteenth Con- necticut Volunteers, and in later years was New Haven's corporation counsel, and the defendant, her son, a. former lawyer and social light of this city, who is now a resident of New York city, and who is being sued for divorce by his wife, one of the defendants. Colonel Wright and his wife joined in a deed conveying the property in ques- tion, the Wright home in York street, to three children, Paul Wright, Arthur B. Wright and Mrs. Harriet P. w.. Hewitt. This was done in January, 1886. In July, 1896, Colonel Wright died, One-fifth interest in the property was deeded to Arthur one-flfth to Paul and three-fifths to Harriet, who is now Mrs. H. s, Hewitt. At the time the deed was drawn it was understood that 1t should not be recorded until after the death of Mrs. Wright. She was to have life use of the property unham- pered. On September 21 1892, the de- fendant, who was appointed admins trator of his fathers estate, caused the deed to be recorded and transferred his interest to Mrs. A. B. Wright In 1894 complainant brought proceedings to have the property reconveyed to her.
 Judge Townsend orders that the bill be dismissed
