MRS. MOTIF WINS SHIT.

Judge Hubbard of the court of com mon pleas yesterday morning rendered Judgment against the city of Derby in favor of Sarah Mott for $200 damages for injuries received on July 26, 1S97
 on Water street in that city. The judg- ment is for actual damages proved by Mrs. Mott. This case served to bring out the fact that the right to recover damages for accidents of this nature is purely statutory in this state. In other Jurisdictions, particularly outside of the New England states there is a common law remedy. Another inter esting fact was the claim urged by Judge D. E. McMahon, who is corpora
 tion counsel for the city of Derby, that Mrs. Mott was not traveller on the highway when the accident occurred and that therefore she could not re- cover more than nominal damages on a default. The distinction is made in

Court Cases.

Court Cases.
 Judge Townsend of the United States court handed down decision yester- day in the case of the American Pneu- matic Tool company of New York against the Bigelow company of this city The plaintiff sued to prevent an infringement on a patent pneumatic drilling tool and the court dismisses the bill, thereby sustaining the defend- ant.
 The Bigelow company has merely use of one of the tools for caulking boilers and bending flues. The real de- fendant is Joseph Bayer of St. Louis, who makes the tool which 1t is claimed is an infringement.
 The case has been to the court of ap peals where temporary injunction was dissolved. In this case the defense claimed that there was no infringe ment because there was lack or patenta- bility in view of the prior act. The court remarked that there was no req son shown or suggested why the suit was not brought against the real and responsible defendant.

 The sum of money brought over from last year was unusually large, being made mp principally of the insurance money on the burned grandstand. The grading at the southwest corner of the field, as shown in the report, cost near ly $5000, considerably more than was expected on account of the great amount of filling in necessary to bring the surface up to the level oa the sur rounding field. It is money well spent, however, and by next fall its surface will have hardened sufficiently to stand any use it may be put to. A small cor ner yet remains to be graded.
 The item of $1, 300 in ''baseball' re- fers to the expense of moving the foot ball stands into position around the baseball diamond-a very large sum when it comes to be paid annually for this work. Four hundred dollars year wolud be save right there if $12000 or $15,000 could be raised with which to build a special baseball stand, as the interest on such an amount would not run over $700 at the outside. The Field corporation does not feel justified in attempting to borrow sufficient money to build with, particularly when they are carrying an $S,O00 burden already. This big yearly expense Is a very bad economy and way should be found to stop it. H. B, Sargent, Treas
