The danger signal is raised
by the Calls sentinel, as to ratifi
cation in the Senate, for the same
reason, and in almost the same
language, as the BULLETIN en-
ployed in holding out hope for the
treaty before these latest advices
were received. Commenting upon
the erroneous news that Speaker
Reed had espoused the cause, this
paper on the 18th inst, after say
ing that it meant the assurance of
a bill or joint resolutions passing
"both houses flying" in the event
of the failure of the treaty, re-
marked:
Even before such contingency,
however, Mr.. Reeds change of
base must have a strong influence
upon the prospects of the treaty
itself. Senators will see that the
consummation is inevitable, and
doubtful ones will likely prefer to
have it brought about, since it has
to come, through ratification of
the treaty by the Senate.

NEW MILFORD

NEW MILFORD HAS SUED TEST CASE TO
} DETERMINE PAYMENT OF GOOD ROADS
MONEY.
J The town of New Milford has brought
suit against the county Of Litchfeld TO
recover money due from the county, $3.50
in 1895, and $3.50 in 1896, under the good
roads law. The law of 1896 provided that
the allowar ce to towns should be paid
one-third by each, the state, county and
town. The county has not paid the towns
and it has been determined to bring a
|, friendly suit. The suit will be tried be
fore Judge G. FL. WEIGH, in the court of
Common Pleas sitting at Winsted, Fri
day. Senator Herman and Judge Brad
street have been retained by the county,
and Senator Warner and F. M Williams
will prosecute the case for the town.
The county failed to levy tax to raise
the necessary money % pay the towns
their quota, and the officers reported that
there was no money in the county treas
ury for the purpose. At county meet
ing held at the capitol February "a, 1897,
a resolution ffered by Judge RoraDack,
was adopted, guaranteeing the expense
of test suit to be made by the town of
New Milford, to determine the validity
of the law apporLioning one third of the
expense upon the county. Yesterday,
at the capitol, Chief Clerk Human, of
the state secretary's office, took the
dispositions ofex Gov Coffin, Comptroller
Mead and Highway Commissioner
Macdonald, as to the proceedings under
the law of 1856 Hartford Courant.
THE NEW RESIDENCE OF BUTLER MER-
WIN.
One OF the most attractive residences
in New Milford Is that of Butler Merwin
on Main street, which has Just been COM
pleted. Mr. Merwin has been a success
full farmer on Candlewood mountain, but
owing to the death of his wife's father,
they thought it best to locate in New
Milford village, where the most of his
wife's property is located. The house
was built by Charles M. Beach, under
the direction Of one of his efficient fore
men, Henry Adams. The house is about
64x34, with an octagon tower in front,
surrounded by piazzas. The first floor
includes the reception hall, parlor,
library, sitting oom, dining room, kitch-
en- and laundry. There are seven sleep
iOg rooms on the second floor, al
pleasant. The staircase in the front hall
Is an elaborate piece of work in quarter
ed oak, while the floor is laid in paneled
quartered oak. Furniture finish pre-
walls throughout. On the second floor
the rooms are finished in sycamore and
white wood. The plumbing and fixtures
throughout are first class. On the first
floor are two bath rooms, and a third on
the second floor. In the tower in the at
TIC one room is flashed off, but the en-
tire attic is lathed and plastered. The
mason work was done by the Morrow
Brothers, and the painting was in charge
of Harry Greene. Altogether, Mr. and
Mrs Merwin have most attractive resi-
dence, and they are well pleased with it.
