Court Notes,

Justice of the Peace George R. Cooley the suit of Wells & Gunde against the Rovers Wheel club. The suit was brought against the wheelmen by the jewelry firm, through their attorney, c. Bollman, and was tried last week. An attachment was placed on the rooms of the club to cover the claim. Soon after this the club went into Insolvency.
 The counsel for the Rovers was Frank s. Bishop, who claimed that the attachment could not hold, as there was a case pending in another court that covered the suit in hand. His plea was overruled. After Justice Cooley handed down his decision, Law yer Bishop immediately appealed the case to the court of common pleas.

 LEVENTY'S STORE ATTACHED.
 The law nrm or Maner & Conl0n yeS- terday served an attachment for $5,000 on the property of John Leventy, the Church street merchant, who Is accused of a felony by Miss Katherine Dickson of Hazel street. Leventy's candy store was attached to cover the claim. Lev enty's trial will come up in the city court, Saturday morning. The attach ment is served, 1t is stated, in order to cover all possible claims for damages that may arise out of the case,

only evidence presented in this respect was that the president of the company had caused a survey to be made of the proposed extension. It did not even appear in evidence that the president of the company approved of the proposed route of the extension.
 "The trouble appears that this suit was brought without having in exist ence the evidence necessary to sustain it. The attempt Is made to maintain the suit by the production of the evil dence originating after the suit was brought.
 There was no corporate purpose to extend the road and no corporate in- tention to construct the railroad before this application was brought, and no purpose or intent can be manufactured.
 "The stockholders and directors votes are therefore excluded and appli- cant has the benefit of exception. There has been failure to prove the inten- ton.
 There is another reason why the ap- plicant must fail in this action. Upon evidence it is demonstrated that con- tinuous street railway from Shelton to Bridgeport along the Housatonic river, will be of great benefit to the public convenience and necessity,
 If it should appear that the appli- cant is bankrupt and that the road will exist on paper, that it's promoters were but spectators intending to hawk the franchise about the state no public in terest could be served by such road and I don't think that the public con venience and necessity would require such a road Under the statutes the in tentions to build such a road must be proven.
 "In the case before me the applicants offered no proof of how it intended to construct this extension
 'Upon the evidence before me 1t ap- pears that the applicant is financially unable to build this extension, and whether it's shareholders can f1nancier | the project of this extension Is a sub ject for their future consideration and action. And when they have formu- lated plan and fairly and reasonably can prove their intention to construct this extension, it will be time enough to make application for a findnig that public convenience and necessity re- quire the construction of their eXten- sion The application must be denied for failure to prove its allegation with out prejudice to renew this application ] hereafter.

The Barnard Fund.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 As the state legislature has wisely declined to hand public money over to private citizen, why should not the superintendents, principals and teach CTS in the several schools of the cities of the state take the case of MT. Barnard in hand and raise suitable sum to present to him. They are certainly getting liberal salaries and large pay for the services they perform and might we'll afford to recompense the promoter of the present system of school instruc- tion. Or let the boards of education de- duct pay for time lost in just one year by rainy days and afternoons when no school is held, and donate that sum to the Barnard fund. LOST TIME.

who had attended him for some years before his, death.
 The contestants are Mrs. Gorham of Hamden, who was represented in court by ex-Judge York, and Wyle H. and Daniel Potter of Jackson, Miss, and Fannie M. Thompson of Lake Weir, Fla, who are represented by James T. Moran, as counsel. Undue influence and mental incompetency are the grounds of the contest.
 The only witness examined yesterday was ex-Judge Hotchkiss, who drew the will for Clayton. He said he had been asked to draw the instrument by Hen ry White, lawyer of New York. Drs. Skiff and Walker were witnesses to the will. Judge Hotchkiss said that he read the testament to Clayton, who mark as a signature. Henry White was given $1,5O0, under the will, as Clayton said he liked him. The testa- tors father was given but $1 900, on con dition he would not contest the will.
 This testimony was given by Judge Hotchkiss as having come from White to him.
 Judge Hotchkiss ssid he understood that both White and Miss Woods were distant relatives of Clayton. White told witness that Clayton was bright man and was all right from his head up.
 The hearing was continued as ex- Judge Stoddard, who represented the will, had to go to New York.

 Some time ago a committee of the Masonic Mutual Aid association was appointed to audit the boks of the sec- retary, Frederick H. Waldron.

A Few Facts of Interest to Everybody whS
 Has Teeth.

Has Teeth.
 Can YOU recommend pumice stone or cuttle-flsh for ordinary use in clean ing the teeth? Can you recommend 8 combination of liquid soap and alco- hol favored with a sickening scent? Is there anything of merit whatever in the above which should warrant any claim to superiority?
 What about pastes made of the cheapest of stuff, full of grit and noth- ing but bombast back of them?
 How about powders? Are they not too worthless to require consideration?
 Of course, soaps and all preparations which necessitate putting the brush in them to use them are too filthy to de- mand any notice whatever.
 Seriously, is It not time the superi- ority of Pearlo-d dento over all other preparations were made widely known? If people neglect this subject much longer, the cheap 25 cent idea&and the liouid soap and alcohol idea (with al- kaline reaction) will be beyond hope Every dental surgeon in the country knows how people are bamboozled ev- cry day by the preparations which ei- ther are worth nothing or are posi- lively harmful, and the only way to check it is to have free discussion and inform the public of Pearlo-dento.
 Pearlo-dento will never share the re- sponsibility of the old offenders. It is the only dentrifice whose merit in ev- cry detail is placed above Its power to catch the public favor Its selling price-5O cents-attests the principles back of it, and we would rather have a l limited sale than cheapen it. We know l too well what cheapness means in a | dentrifice.
 | Pearlo-dento contains no grit, and It's | cleansing and antiseptic properties are unquestionable. Our circular in each violet box tells our story

IMPORTANT DECISION IN STREET
 PATHWAY EXTENSION CASE.

New Haven County Cases to Come Up In Supreme Court of Errors Next week-A Branford Doctor Sues for S5,OO0 Dam- ages-Preliminary Hearing on Clayton Will Contest-Other Court Notes. A
 Judge George W. Wheeler in the su- perior court at Bridgeport has given decision on the application of the Shel- ton Street Railway company for exten- sion to Stratford, which is a body blow to parallel schemes and as important in favor of the steam roads as the de cision on additional servitude was to trolley enterprises.
 The decision sets forth, among other things, the following essential points:
 'This application brought by the Shelton Street Railway company under section 8 of the street railway act of 1893 is to obtain from me a finding that public convenience and necessity re- ouire the extension and construction Of such a railway as described from it's present terminus to point in the town of Stratford to connect with the Bridgeport Traction company. It ap- pears to me this application as repre- sented has jurisdiction only when it ap- pears:
 "1 That the applicant desires and intends that the road shall be built from town to town in the public high ways in whole or in part
 "2. That the proposed railway paral- lels a steam and street railway.
 8. That the applicant desires and intends to construct such extension.
 Since these facts are material to the applicants case it would seem essential that if any of them are denied proof should have been offered to sustain them.
 There was no evidence offered of any vote of the directors or stockhold- CTS had, before this application was brought. relative to the extension. and no evidence to show that the directors had done anything looking toward the construction of this extension. The
