ELEPHANT USE OF SCRIPTURES

Rev H. E. Burns of the First Meth odist church preached on "Chaste Con- versation" last evening. His sermon was rather on the prevalence of un- chaste language and the too flippant use of the Scriptures During his sermon the pastor scored one local daily paper for its fippancy in the use of Scrip tural quotations, it's sensationalism and it's proneness to the immodest. He men toned in particular one matter that struck him as vulgar and made the sheet unfit to enter any household He referred to a head line in the paper His severe denunciation of the paper made his congregation wonder. He did not mention the name of the publication. and everybody is guessing to-day as to which of the dalies he referred to- Bridgeport Standard.

SIT ROCK PARK.

During the past ten days the number of visitors to East Rock park has daily increased. Although Sunday is the principal day for visitors to that locali- ty the park being particularly alive with people from early morn till sum- down on that day, yet the number who visit on the other days of the week is steadily on the increase. It may be that this is due in a great measure to the restaurant being open as well as to the good service given, although great praise is due to MT. Beebe, the superin- tendent, who, with his force of men, keeps the grounds in such perfect con- dition that it is pleasure for anyone to visit the summit.

1RG UMENTS INSUPREuE COURT ON
 NINTH WARD CROSSING.
w. J. Atwater Appeals from Judgment OfCity Court i'm Suit Against w. H. H. Cases.

The supreme court of errors listened yesterday morning to the arguments in the case of the city of New Haven vs. the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad company, in the so-called Ivy and Hazel street grade crossing cases. Judge Roraback found that one of the streets was public highway and the other was not and both the city and railroad company appealed. Cor poration Counsel Ely and Howard c. Webb argued the case for the city and George D. Watrous and H. F. Parmelee for the railroad company.
 The second case taken up was that of William J. Atwater against William H. H. Hewitt. The plaintiff appeals from decision of the city court in favor of the defendant. The suit is brought to recover from the defendant on an alleged agreement entered into by Hewitt to pay any judgment that might be recovered against Hayes & Rourke, the Grand avenue plumbers, in suit brought against them by Att water, in which three furnaces were attached Justice Hall rendered judg- ment against Hayes & Rourke for $107.- 31. MT. AtWater then sued MT. Hewitt, who defended the action and pleaded in the city court successfully that the alleged guaranty was delivered to the officer who made the attachment of the furnaces, in escrow, and in no other manner, which Atwater denied.
 Lawyers c. s. Hamilton and R. H. Tyner, counsel for MT. Atwater, asked that the judgment of the city court be set aside, and alleged five reasons:
 1. The inadmissibility of the evidence excepted to by the plaintiff in the trial of said cause; 2, the consideration for the giving of said agreement, sued upon, by the defendant; 3, the position which the officer occupied at the time said agreement was made; 4, the char acter and effect of said written agree ment; g. were the essential elements of the escrow, pleaded by the defendant, proven in the trial of this action?

In the suit of Barn. we'll & Mills against Catherine Heating, in which judgment for the defendant was awarded in the court of common pleas, no error is found. The plaintiffs are builders and sued to recover $200 for extra labor and material outside of contract stipulations on a house which they built for Miss Heating.
 Error is found in the judgment of the court of common pleas in awarding judgment to the defendant In the suit of Charles F. Noren and wife against Edmund c. A. Wood of Stratford. A new trial is ordered. The suit was brought to recover the value of a third mortgage of $1,sOo on house in Strat- ford for which the plaintiffs traded a house on Hallett street. The first and second mortgages foreclosed, and the plaintiffs were left with nothing to show for their investment. It was alleged by the plaintiffs that the property would be worth the amount for which 1t was mortgaged if a renewal of a license for a saloon in the building could be ob- tained. The place was not licensed again, and the value decreased in con- sequence. At the trial the plaintiffs of- fered evidence to show that Wood ask ed the other mortgages to withhold foreclosure proceedings for time in or der to give him time to dispose of the third mortgage.
