IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL MADE BI
 REV. MR. HOWE.
Improprieties Alleged at the Trial Wtll Contest Likely Over Estate of Mary Ben ch-Smedley Case Defaulted- - City Court Cages.

Judge Bradstreet of Waterbury, who presided at the trial of the case of Miss Sadie E. Lansing against the Rev. O. Raymond Howe, before the jury in the court of common pleas during De- cember, and which resulted in a ver- dict of guilty, came to New Haven yes terday morning by agreement to pass upon the motion of the plaintiff to fix the amount of compensation, under an order of the court which the defendant should pay for the support of the child of the plaintiff and for the expenses at tending it's sirth. The court made in quiry as to Mr. Howes income, but en- tered no judgment on the motion. He will do Sc later.
 Lawyers J. P Goodhart and A. McC. Mathewson for the plaintiff, received from Lawyers Henry G. Newton and E. F. Arvine for the defendant a motion for a new trial, a copy of which was filed in court. The motion is a little sensational in it's nature. The case will eventually go to the supreme court, it is thought, if the motion for a new trial is overruled, pro forlna. The motion includes technical questions of law, to- gether with an alleged improper trial of the case.

THE TOSS OF THE WARD.
Details of the Dtsaster-Crew Rescued
 i'm Mid-OcepM.


 Details of the disaster to the schooner w. Wallace Ward of this port which
 was abandoned January ? off Cape Lookout were received in this city yes terday.
 The Ward was bound from Port Tam pa for Carteret, N. J., and was loaded with phosphate rock. She sailed away from Tampa on December 23 and two days after the vessel ran into hurricane weather For three days the Ward had been dashed about and was at the mercy of the tempestuous seas. The waves broke across her decks, flooded the cabins and swept away everything moveable. Huge combers that broke over the vessel continually soon flooded the vessels hold and she began to set tie. The steam pumps were started but the cargo had shifted and choked the pumps. Captain Kelsey then put the crew to work at the hand pumps with no better results. Suffering untold hardships from exposure to the clements the captain and his crew worked knee deep in water trying to keep the vessel atloa..
 When the Themis hove in sight Tues day morning at daybreak all hands on board the fast sinking vessel were ex hausted and completely worn out for want of rest and nourishment. Their life-boat had been carried away, and they were powerless to escape from the water-logged craft. Captain Anderson of the Themis, upon coming near real ized their condition and at once called for volunteers to man a lifeboat to go to the rescue of the worn-out mariners. Chief Officer K. J. Lund and two sea- men were chosen from the volunteers and set off in the lifeboat at ' a. m A heavy sea was running and the res cue of the eleven persons took just four hours. Mrs. Kelsey was the first taken from the wreck and was also the first hauled up on the deck of the Themis, | her husband being the last to abandon tho schooner.
 The Ward was one of the finest yes | sels belonging to the Sutton fleet She | was built by Gessner & Mar at the | West Haven shipyard, and launched on September IS, 1888. She had been en- gagged almost exclusively in the off shore trade for some months after she trips to Spain. Of late she had been phosphate rock from Tampa to Carteret. The vessel cost S60, ,O00. and was partly insured According to a recent statement the vessel had earned S64 900 in dividends Her commander, Captain Kelsey, had been on the vessel for long time. Previously he was in of other vessels belonging to the Sutton fleet, and before taking command of the Ward was on the Ma than Easterbrook, jr.
 EX-Lieutenant Governor DeWell owner of the vessel was seen ast evening, but he stated that he had nothing to add relative to the disaster.

AMERICA CUP CHALLENGE TALK.
Sir Thomas Lipton's Plans for 1901--
 Designer of the Challenger.


 London, Jan. 5.-A report is published here this afternoon that Sir Thomas Lipton had issued another challenge for the Americas cup, but representative of the Associated Press learned that the situation remains as cabled on Decem- Der 23--his plans for 1901 are making progress, but he has not yet even de- cided on a designer.
 David Barrie, the American repre- sentative of Sir Thomas Lipton, said to-day: No challenge has been issued. Sir Thomas will issue challenge, how ever for 1901 but he cannot do any, thing until MT. Fife has completely re- covered. Then the challenge will come through the Royal Ulster Yacht club I had letter yesterday from MT. Fife in which he said that he is now so far advanced on the road to recovery that he is able to be about on crutches He has had hard time of it, but will soon be ready for business. In spite of all the Watson talk I know now that MT. Fife will have the refusal of the de- signing of the new challenger. I do not believe that he will refuse He built a good boat the last time. and it is only fair to him that he should have another chance to win. I may say, in fact, that MT. Fife will design the new boat. I expect Sir Thomas Lipton himself will be here in Febuary."

Truman Moulton; treasurer, James M. Payne; trustee for three years, John H. Davis; standing committee, the pastor, the deacons and Henry W. Munson Dea- con Elias Dickerman, who has honored his office for many years. declined re- election on account of advancing years and infirmities. Much regret is felt that he considered this step necessary, as he has always possessed in a large degree the affection and respect of the people. His father, Eli Diclerman, also held the office of deacon and was one of the most prominent men in the history of the church, so that the church will hardly seem true to it's traditions with out deacon of the name of Dickerman.
