Court Ca scs.

| A hearing was to have been held be- fore Judge Studley in the common pleas court yesterday morning to modify the injunction secured by L. F. Richmon and others against Frank Johnson, ct al. The injunction restrained Johnson and others from tearing down the dlke gates between East Haven and Bran ford at Stone river. As is well known, there is situated at that point the only trap rock on the Atlantic coast that is available. Johnson wants to get the rock to sea and has applied to the sec- retary of war for permission to erect a draWbridge across the river so as to permit vessels to come up to the rock quarry.
 There is controversy on between him and the owners of the salt marshes The price to be paid for the land is in dispute and it is considered probable that with a modification of the injunc- ton so as to permit the work of the quarry to go on that a compromise can be affected. All attempt was made yes- terday morning, but nothing definite could be learned except that the hear HE WOulu go over uHlll lu-uty
 BOHAN WILL CASE.
 Attorney James F. Bree appeared be- fore Judge Cleaveland in the probate court yesterday morning with an appli- cation to have the two wills executed by the late Ellen Bohan set aside on the ground of the incompetency of the deceased at the time the wills were drawn. Attorney Bree asked that let ters of administration be granted on the estate. He represents John Moran a nephew, and Mary Egan, niece, of the deceased. Both will under the will receive small legacies.
 Ex-Senator T. J. Fox also appeared but asked that the first will executed by the deceased be admitted to pro- bate. By the terms of this will Senator Fox is executor of the estate.
 The estate is a small one, but if let ters of administration were granted Moran and his sister would get the bulk of the estate.
 Judge Cleaveland decided to postpone the matter until next Tuesday after noon when a hearing will be held.
 SUIT FOR DIVORCE.
 Mrs Lena B. Scheuer, wife of Isaac J. Scheuer & Son, dry goods dealers at 69l Grand avenue has brought suit for divorce and the case will be tried at the next term of the superior court. It is expected that there will be an in- teresting contest when the suit comes to trial.
 In the complaint made by Mrs. Scheuer through her attorney, Judge Blydenburgh, she claims that just be- fore her marriage she gave her hus- band $250. She asks that this be re- turned as well as a number of presents given at the time of the marriage. Most of the articles claimed by the wife are in the possession of her husbands pa- rents. They say they belong to their son and will not give them up.
 It will be claimed by the defense to the divorce suit that the presents were given to the husband and not to the wife.

CAPTAIN II. W. HOLT ENDORSED
For Judge of the Hastings Court BY Our
Representatives.

The friendly contest for the honora
BILE position of judge of the hastings
court of this city came to a close last
Friday, when Senator John N. Ople
and R representatives. John w. Todd
and J. W. Churchman net ia this city
for the purpose of agreeing upon the
candidate they will support in the
Democratic caucus, which will noml-
nate the man to be elected by the Leg
islature. There were only two names
presented for consideration-Ju Judge
Chas. Grattan. present Incumbent, ana
Capt Henry w. Holt After u brief
conference our representatives, unanl'
mously endorsed Captain Holt. They
were assisted in reaching this decision
by the voice of the people as it we're, as
Captain Holt was endorsed by ma
jority of the bar, and lacked only 81 OF
having two-thirds of the white voters
of the city. In addition to the above
the Board of Trade and the business
men of the city generally requested
that Capt. Holt be made judge.
According to the long established
rule of the Legislature to give the
local representatives the right OF way
in matters of this kind the action OF
Messrs. Opie, Todd and Churchman Is
equal to an election. Captain Holt
needs no eulogy at our hands. He
has been a resident of this city and a
member of the local bar for years, and
his endorsement shows concluslVely
that the people want him. His selec'
ton gives general satisfaction.

Lost, But Found.

in town for a while last Thursday over
the disappearance of the nurse in the
employ of John T. Harris with Mr..
Harris little 4-year-old girl. After
the lapse of a considerable time Mr..
Harris gave the alarm and many peo-

afternoon Ashby Kingan discovered
the missing ones on the pike near the
B. g. O. railway north of the city. He
reported to Mi. Harris and the little
girl and nurse were rescued without
harm overtaking them. The servan
is somewhat weakminded, which &C
counts for her actions.

yesteld day. The plaintiff is suing Tor
injuries alleged to have been received

On Tuesday while evidence was being
taken heated controversy took place
between Attorneys Chas. Curry and
L. w. II. Peyton. Fearing there
would be further trouble Judge
Letcher placed them under bond OF
$500 each to keep the peace for six
months. The bonds were promptly
given, Hulst Glenn going on the hand
Of Mr.. Curry and S. D. Timberlake,
ST., on that of Mr.. Peyton.
This it was thought ended the mat
ter, but on Wednesday in court Mr..
Peyton stated that he had been in
formed that Mr.. Curry in his remarks
on the day previous had reflected on
his father. He then asked Mr.. Curry
if such was true, and in reply Mr.. Cur
nv said that he had nothing to retract.
Immediately following this remark
Mr.. Peyton struck Mr.. Curry, but
they were separated before injury was
done to either. Judge Letcher prompt
ly fined Mr.. Peyton 800. The Incl
dent has created no little gossip and
fears are entertained that the end is
not yet in sight.
