MISSING BRIDE FOUND.
Tired of Waiting for the Groom, She
 Went Home.

Tired of Waiting for the Groom, She Went Home
 The missing bride of Lewis Toocker has been found. It seems that when the couple went to the Imperial hotel after they had been married Wednesday eve- ming Toocker left the girl in the parlor while he went to the office to engage room. He drifted into the barroom and began treating his friends to celebrate his marriage. He stayed so long that the bride, who had been visiting with a waitress during his absence, became tired of waiting and went to her home on Ivy street. Her mother says that she returned home about o'clock. The marriage was a surprise to the parents of both young people. The bride was very indignant at being left alone so long, and it is said that she at first re- fused to have anything more to do with him. It was learned last evening, how ever, that they had become reconciled.
 The couple called at the residence of Rev. MT. Eldridge yesterday afternoon and secured their marriage certificate, which they did not get Wednesday eve ming, as MT Eldridge had no blank cer- tificate with him when they called upon him at the church to perform the cere- mony.

JOHN T. MOODY'S WILL.

 r,ittad to Prohate Yasterdav

Was Drawn in Wisconsin in 1S64-Ad-
 mitted to Probate Yesterday.
 The will of the late John T. Moody, who died several months ago, was ad- mitted to probate in Bridgeport yester- day. The late MT. Moody was we'll known railroad man, and was the su- perintendent of the New York division of the Consolidated road previous to Colonel W. H. Stevenson's incumbency of that position and was well known to New Haven's older business men. After MT. Moody died 1t was found he had left will, which was drawn up and executed under the laws of the state of Wisconsin in 1894, when MT. Moody was in that state. There were three witnesses to the will although under the Wisconsin law the attesta- ton of only two witnesses is required. None of the three witnesses are now alive and the will could not be proven out of court.
 During all this time affidavits have been secured, attesting to the genuine ness of the signatures on the will, and the attesting clause. The will leaves all his property to his wife, who is nom- mated as executrix. Dr. Sidney Bishop and Stephen H. Patterson have been appointed appraisers.

LIBEL SUIT FOR DEMuRRAGE.
Brought By Managing Owner of the
 Schooner General s. D. Merwn

Brought By Managing Owner of the
 Schooner General s. D. Merwin Complaint was made yesterday to Judge Nathan Webb of the district court of the United States for the Dis trict of Maine in the libel suit of James D. Dewell of this city, managing owner of the schooner General $. +. Merwin, against the Bacon & Robinson com pany, coal firm doing business in Ban- gor, Me.
 In the complaint it is alleged that the schooner carried a cargo of coal from Newport News Va, to Bangor, consigned to c. H. Sprague 6t Sons of Bangor or their assigns. The schooner arrived at Bangor on September 6, 1899, and on the same day her master, E. H. Smeed, gave notice to the Bacon & Robinson company, the assignee and holder of the bill of lading, that the schooner was ready to discharge the coal It is then alleged that although the schooner, according to the terms of the bill of ladihg, should have been dis charged on or before o'clock on the evening of September 1S; she was not discharged until 9:15 on the morning of September 2O
 By reason of this delay the libellant claims that he is entitled to receive demurrage for his schooner at the rate of six cents a ton a day on 1884 tons of coal from September IS, o'clock D. m until September 20 at 9:15 a. m., amounting to $124.56.
 Attorney J. D. Dewell, jr., of this city is proctor for the libellant.

It requires smart, bright, up-to-date wo- man to carry it out successfully. She acts as a. 'coach" on topics of the day to ladies who go out a great deal and wish to talk brightly on all the sub- jects which are likely to turn up, with out having the bother of getting them up themselves from books and papers. The hatch-chatter visits them at their own houses and talks to them. Per- haps she posts them up on war topics explains to them what Ladysmith and the Transvaal really are. She tells them all about the new novels, plays and pictures, so that they need not dis play ignorance with regard to them, and gives short digest of any article in a magazine which has created a sensation,--New York Mall and Ex- press.

GREAT POLO R.4TTLE.
Blues Win Exciting Overtime Game at
 New Britain.

l The game in New Britain last night | between the New Britain and New Ha- | ven polo teams was one of the fastest, l hardest and most scientific overtime
 contests seen on any surface this sea- | son and was witnessed by over one ! thousand lovers of the game Both ! teams shared the honors equally. | The New Britain team, stung by their recent defeats and in having the leader ship of the National league wrested from them by the Hartford team if they did not win the game-they being
 tied with Hartford up to last night
 were on the floor with the avowed in tention of winning and started out at a
 rapid pace. The Blues were equally as fast, however, and but for the excellent defence of the Doherty and Jeans they
 would probably have made their end of the score larger. Two balls which were caged by New Britain rolled out, thus not being allowed Bone, the popular rush of the Blues, was everywhere and was eagerly watched by the New Brit ain defence, and it was only by the claw crest kind of moves that he managed to elude their watchful eyes As for the matter of goal scoring the teams were evenly matched, the score being tied at the end of each period. The last period was if anything, the most ex- citing, and the ball was scored by Bone in ten minutes and thirty seconds of overtime play.
 The New Britains scored two goals before the New Havens had started. Finally Whipple caged ball. Clever work by Whiting tied the score amid the greatest excitement After this the ball travelled rapidly from one cage to the other, but both goal tenders were doing great work, Lations especially making stops that caused the crowd to hold their breath and wondering if he ever would let one go in. The second and third periods ended with the score a tie. With the score to the extra period was commenced Both teams were playing their hardest to win The rushers on both teams worked as they never worked before and the defence on both sides put up the stiffest kind of game. They defied all efforts to score. It was not until Bone captured the leather after nearly another period caged and ended a game long to be re- membered.
 The summary: Score--New Haven 8, New Britain 7. Stops-Burgess Al, La tions 21. Fouls-McGilvray, Russell. Rushes-Bone 6, Russell 12. Referee Doherty-Timer-ON

PROVIDENCE TO-NIGHr

The strong Providence team will do battle with the local team tonight at Polo hall and a crowded house will surely be present to witness the game and encourage the home players to win. The contest will settle which team shall hold third place in the race By last nights victory at New Britain it should be plain to the rooters that the home team is playing the game as it should be played. Not little praise should be given to Manager William Aufort and Captain James Canavan in bringing the team up to its present standard
