DEFENDANTS ANSWER DEMUR-
 RED TO

Yesterday afternoon the demurrer or
 the plaintiffs to the answer of the de- fendant in the application of Sidney Dawson, taxpayer, for an injunction \ to restrain the controller and the city of New Haven from paying salary to Messrs Welch and Mills, the men ap- pointed to the positions from which Messrs. White and Maroney were dls- charged, was argued in the superior court. In the answer the corporation counsel for the defendants set up that the appointments of Welch and Mllls were temporary only under rule or the rules of the civil service board' which provides that heads of depart ments may appoint for thirty days men who have not taken examinations. This answer was demurred to by At torney Goodhart on the ground that the legislature never gave the civil ser vice board the right to make such rule, but simply gave the board the right to examine candidates for posi- tions and to pass rules governing the examinations.
 The arguments were finished yester- day afternoon and the decision on the demurrer was reserved.

| SEVERAL NOTABLE DECISIONS. | Several decisions in pleading were
 handed down to the clerk of the superb
 or court by Judge Elmer yesterday
 morning. They are as follows: Judge Elmer sustains the demurrer in the case of George F. Spare against George E. Hodson. In his memorandum he says Demurrer Is sustained for causes set up in some and for further reason that from facts stated in second defense of answer the defendant has not availed himself of the proper defense to sustain the claim"
 MT. Hodsol;, it will be remembered, got judgment of foreclosure against Mrs. Spare, and she failed to redeem the property. Her husband claimed an equity of redemption and offered to pay the judgment, but Mrs. Spare would not tolerate it. The demurrer of Case, Ely & Case set up that Mrs, Spare had no rights whatever in the present suit, as she had had her day in court in the foreclosure suit and that her husbands s offer to redeem and prevent Hodson from disposing of the property on Water street by injunction was a mat ter in which she had no interest what soever.
 The motion of the defendant to file amendment to his answer is granted, and the motion to strike the case from the jury docket denied, by the court in the case of George E. McNamara against Lorenzo Mattel ct al.
 Plaintiffs motion to strike out para graph of two of defendants answer in action of George E. Somers against Mary E. Gregory is granted.
 The court denies motion to expunge from complaint in the case of Jane Fur her against Morris Mix, executor. The court says: "If from the reasons as- signed the complaint in his case his de- | fective, the court is of opinion that the remedy is not to be found under the rules of the practice act, section 1855. | Motion is denied.'
 Motion for leave to file amendment to ] complaint in the old case of John Cox | vs Thomas McClune was granted by Judge Elmer.

have located and seized over 10000 Gig
ars and stogies at Wheeling and the
surrounding towns, which had been
shipped from Jacobs factory at Ian
caster, Pa, and all of whicn were
marked with counterfeit revenue

probably be at least 100000 stogies
seized in the Wheeling district alone

report from their various divisions
Large quantities of counterfeit
stamped stogies made by Jacobs have
been located in wholesale houses.
Deputies all over the state will make a

located they will be seized and offered
for sale at auction, extending to the
person having the goods on hand a
privilege of buying good revenue
stamps and keeping them.
Many arrests are being made this
week of persons connected with this
gigantic scheme to rob Uncle Sam of
millions of dollars worth of revenue
and by issuing counterfeit 800 and $50
bills and revenue stamps.

PROPERTY AT ARMY POSTS.
Danger That IL VIII lie Ruined
Through Neglect Owing to
Absence of Troops.

There is great danger that valuable
public property at army posts in this
country may be ruined by neglect. The
troops have been largely withdrawn
from most of the home garrisons, and
at many of the posts only detachment
of men remains. 1t is found that the
quarters, barracks, stables and store
houses are liable to decay as a result
of inattention. Steps have been taken
by the war department authorities to
prevent this, and instructions have
been sent to department commanders.
