 STREET RAILWAY SUED,
 Deputy Sheriff Dejon yesterday serv- ed notice of a summary process on of l flcials of the New Haven Street Rail road company. The plaintiffs in the case are the Misses Ann F. and Augusta M, Stiles, and the purpose of the suit is to secure to the plaintiffs possession of the summer resort known as Light house Point.
 The writ alleges that the point was leased to the New Haven Street Rail- read company in April, 1896, for term of five years at an annual rental of $l,000, payable quarterly. It was then covenanted that should the railroad company assign the lease to anyone else it would be void and the plaintiffs 1 would resume possession.
