In AND ABOUT THE COURTS
SUPREME COURT HEARING OYER
BRIDGEPORT CASE.

$500 suit Settled Skinner Divorce Case
-Gennaro's Banking Quarters At
tached-Other News.
The state of Connecticut ex. rel, AL
fred G. Southey against Benjamin Lar
kin, was argued before the supreme
court yesterday morning. The defend
ant Larkin was appointed street COM
missioner of Bridgeport last May by the
board of public works. To accomplish
the appointment the rules Of the board
setting the time for the appointment In
June were repealed, although Mayor
Taylor, chairman, refused to put the
motion. This boards official life came
to an end June Is, and the new board
at it's first meeting appointed Alfred
Southey, republican, street commits
sioner. Southey tried to take UP his
duties and interfered with orders of Mr..
Larkin. The latter thereupon secured
an injunction from the superior court
restraining Southey from interfering
with him.
The question comes up now on reser-
walton. The points involved are the le-
gality of the meeting at which Larktn
was appointed, the legality of the pro-
cedure In repeating the rules and the
right of the board to appoint any one.
Larkin was appointed in 1896 and held
over when the two years change was
made. He contends that the old board
had a right to make an appointment
and to make it when it chooses to do It,
Larkin is a democrat.
ATTACHMENTS RELEASED.
The two attachments which were
placed on the banking establishment of
Gennaro Agnone by Deputy Sheriff De-
jon have been released. Agnone settled
with both the Italian clients who caus-
ed his place to be attached. 1t cost him
S24O to settle the two claims in full and
to pay the costs of the attachments.

A YALE MANS INSANITY

New York, Jan. 19.-Willlam G. Bush
nell, go years old, member Of the Uni
versity club, has been acting SO
strangely for several days as to excite
the comment Of the other members.
Last night he began shouting and
weeping at the club house. Then he
fell on his knees and prayed in loud
voice.
DR.. Robertson Of Bellevue hospital
was summoned by telephone and he
pronounced Mr.. Bushnell insane. Two
policemen went with him in cab to
the hospital, where he was placed in
the insane pavilion.
Mr.. Bushnell was graduated from
Yale and has been a member of the
University club since 1916. He is said
to be mine owner in California. Years
ago he amassed fortune in the ice re-
frlgerator business. In the panic of
four years ago he lost most of this. He
moved then from Quincy, ILL.,, to this
city.

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.

The third Of the seasons concerts oc-
ours next Thursday afternoon, January
26, at the Hyperion theater Following
Is criticism of the singing OF Gwilym
Miles, who is to be the sooist: 1.-The hit
of the evening, however, was the Won
derful baritone singing of Gwilym
Miles, who infused so much of the
spirit of the song into his singing that
he carried his audience with him from
the realms Of rollcking mirth and joli-
ty to the other extreme of mournfuI
sadness. His power of expression was
immense. and from the moment of his
first song to the end of the programme
his appearance was eagerly looked for.
His voice, too, was both sweet, well
trained and of exceeding volume. 1t
was a marvel"

Ballou, $7e5; D. F. Kelly, $1,osS; shee-
