IS IT A FAD?
Burmese Band Stands and Burmese
 Ball Players Become Numerous.

Burmese Band Stands and Burmese Ball Players Become Numerous. | Are we fin the midst" of a Burmese fad? I see very aptly remarked in your esteemed paper the Burmesian as- pect of our band stand, and as usual the Couriers statement is not contra dicted. Therefore it is fact-the band stand is Burmese.
 Now comes our esteemed fellow townsman, s. 2. Poli, telling us in the afternoon papers that he will give to us next week an exhibition by Bur- mese ball players, straight from a tri- umphal tour on the continent and the Orient.
 l have no doubt that these Burmese will prove to be wonders. Our band stand is a wonderland it is Burmese If MT. Polls Burmese. can raise half the excitement that our band stand has, that enterprising manager will, I think, be well repaid for his trouble. would suggest that if the gentlemen are found to be sociable and communica- tive, they be interviewed by one of your reporters on the all-absorbing top ic of the day. Being genuine Burmese and presumably familiar with the Burmese practice act as applied to band stands, it occurs to me that they might give to our honorable body, the court of common council, some valua- ble ideas that would settle the problem. Wise men have come from the East be- fore now. Perhaps Manager Polls Bur or J,ot xryic enlighten us and relieve us of our trials. With this humble suggestion, I remain, yours truly, Liberty Pole.

 In the superior court yesterday Judge Elmer listened to the evidence in the case of William J. Nugent against the company. Nugent claims damages of $5O0O for injuries received through what is alleged to be carelessness of the de- fendants' servants.
 The writ states that on August 1, 1898, the defendant company was running it's cars over the causeway of the Tomlin- son bridge; that the plaintiff on that day. owing to the crowd, was riding upon the running board of the open car; that the conductor, while collect ing fares pushed his way between the plaintiff and the body of the car, thus forcing the plaintiffs head back; that this caused a collision between the head and one of the trolley poles, whereby the plaintiff was severely and perman- ently injured.
 pr. Hawkes., witness for the plaintiff, testified that MT. Nugent was severely injured, fractured skull and other wounds, and that he was at the pres- ent time suffering from partial paraly- sis of face, arms and legs and a suf- ferer from epileptic fits. All these in- juries were directly traceable to the &C., cident of August l. In addition to this MT. Nugent suffered from sup perated disease of the ear which might, or might not produce death.

SHIT WITHDRAWNs '

The Hon. Charles T.. Russell. who re- gently brought suit for damages for S10,000 against Attorney Willard Eddy of Haddam and Joseph Winslow of Portland, Me, has filed a notice of the withdrawal of the suit with the clerk of the superior court.

| Harriet M. Augur. Sometime afterward she died apparently intestate, and her son Jacob H. Augur came into possess sion of all of her property. year or two ago he died leaving all his proper | ty by will to his wife Marie. Heirs, h. cluding nieces and nephews of Harriet M. Augur, then began a contest of Ja- cob H. Augurs will, claiming that he had no right to dispose of the property as it did not belong to him.
 Now comes forward this document of yesterday and the entire contest will hinge on it. It Is claimed that Harriet M. Augur made will which she never destroyed and in it named Willet Hemingway, now dead, as eXecutor The alleged will bequeathed to her son Jacob H. Augur, only $10,000. The re- mainder of the estate was to go to sev- eral other Augurs. It will be claimed that this will was either destroyed or secreted by someone other than the testatrix and that its provisions still re- main in force. The case is said to have no precedent in Connecticut law cases.
