The hearing was on the de- fendant's motion to dismiss the suit on the ground that personal notice had never been served on him and that Mir. Hicks acknowledged having house in Washing ton, D. O., in which she had furniture and clothing, but claimed a residence in New Haven because, she has five trunks there. Joseph P.

The Central Vermont freight steamer Mohawk, ran on Goshen reef during the snow storm last week Wednesday night, and was foated at high water Friday evening shortly after o'clock. The freight which was stored in the forward part of the steamer was moved back to the stern and the steamer lifted her nose of the rocks, backing off under her own steam. A hole IS inches in diameter To- cated about 28 feet back from the stem was patched up so that the steamer made little water. She went to New London under her own power. The weather was favorable to the wreckers in getting the vessel of the rocks. She then went to New York Saturday to be drydoeked. The steamer City of Bridgeport has been chartered to run in place of the Mohawk while the latter is repairing.

Connecticut Farmer: Judelnp from the

Connecticut Farmer: Judging from the action of the general assembly in passing 8 resolution ordering the quarantining of cattle stopped and releasing those now in quarantine, we are led to infer that the members of the present body of law makers are not very favorably impressed with the tuberculosis law as 1t stands. The resolution passed both houses unani- .mously. Following out the suggestion of the governor, no doubt, and in order tt' satisfy the request of the farmers of the state who are dissatisfied with the work ings of the law as it now exists, the con- mittee on agriculture are considering a tubeI culosis law which will greatly change the present statue and make it such as will gratify the people most interested. The sooner they do 1t, the better a great many raisers of life stock throughout this section will be pleased.

The new United States cruiser Brook lyn struck on a rocky ledge Saturday af- ternoon, while proceeding down the Del aware river to safe anchorage from the ice. It was found that about 125 feet of herouter plating on each side of the keel had been bent and torn and steel plates ripped away in many places, admitting water into her outer apartments. The double apartments probably saved the Brooklyn from sinking. The Brooklyn was put in commission few weeks ago. It Is estimated that it will take about two weeks to repair the cruiser.
