COMMIzTEE ON CLAIMS,
Action Taken on Various Petitions Re-
ferred by tke Comm Council.

| terred by tke Com on Council.
| Alderman Henry Donovan appeared
before the committee on claims las
night and asked that the committee
give public hearing to the residents
and property owners on Hazel street
concerning their claims for damages
| from the city for the closing of the
street on each side of the Northampton
railroad tracks. Mr.. Donovan said thai
the supreme court had decided that the
railroad company could close the cross.
ing because the company was not noti-
fled of the action of the board of pub
lie works when it voted sometime in
the sixties to extend Hazel street across
the railroad tracks. He said that since
the railroad was permitted to close the
street because of the negligence of a
city official in failing to serve notice
on the company, the people who had
it had been legally opened claimed
damages from the city because of that
negligence. He said that the claims
had been pending for two years and
the claimants now thought that it was
time that some action was taken. He
requested that the committee in con-
sidering the matter would not consult
with the corporation counsel because,
he said, the corporation counsel was a
stoclzhoIder in the Consolidated road,
In response to this Judge Robertson
who was present, said that he would
prefer not to give advice in the matter
He said also that Alderman Donovan
being an interested party could not vote
upon the claims when they came up for
action in the board of aldermen.
The committee decided to give the
claimants a hearing at a meeting to
be held at some future date, to be de-
cided upon.
The committee voted to recommend
that the following petitions he granted:
Mrs. s. j. Foley for abatement Of lien;
George l.. Ives, for return of oyerpaid
taxes amounting to $72; B. p. Blenner
estate, for return of payments Of poll
tax amounting to 1925; Joseph r. Man

ROWING MAITERS.
Action Taken by Representatives of
Columbia, Pennsylvania and Cornell
Decide to Invite Five Other UNI
versities to Take Part In the Annual
Regatta.

New York, Jan 12.-Intercollegiate

in the last few days which will in
crease interest in the annual regatta of
the ter-university Rowing association

make it an American Henley. The uni
versities which have been invited are
Wisconsin, Toronto, Brown, Syracuse
and Bowdoin. If sufficient interest can
be aroused not only eights, but fours,

sponse has been received. Cornell will
turn her entire attention to making the
Poughkeepsie races a great success.

ALFRED MORRISON ARRESTED.
The Man Who Shot One of HIS wives In
ga Dreams

New York, Jan. 12-Alfred Morrison,
who shot and killed one of his wives,
with whom he was living in Mount
Vernon, is under arrest. Crowds waited
around his house all day in anticipation
of his arrest, and they followed Nor
rison, who was in charge of two de-
tectives to the court house, where he
was arraigned and held for the grand
jury on the charge of murder lin the
first degree. Morrison on the night of
December % shot his wife Aida and
she died the following day. He ap-
peared to be grief stricken over the af-
fair and told a ptiful tale of how the
shooting was the result of fright oc-
casioned by dream of burglars The
woman herself knowing that death was
certain, said that the shooting was ac-
cidental and attributed it to the same
cause as Morrison did. The coroner's $
jury exonerated him.
Some days later Morrisons first wife,
whom he married many years ago un
der the name of Gordon, gave out the
information that the man was a big
amist and had practically abandoned
her and from that on facts tending to
place Morrison in a bad light have
been developed. The police have been
constantly watching Morrison ever
since and it was rumored that Morrison
was acting like crazy man. When
he was placed under arrest to-day,
however. he was very quiet and per-
fectly composed Judge Appel said
that the depostons and other papers
in the case did not show that any crime
had been committed, or If any crime
had been committed the prisoner at
the bar had committed none. He then
moved that the case be dismissed and
the prisoner discharged. Judge Schatz
denied this motion and Judge Appel
then said he would waive examination
and that the prisoner would stand COM
mitted to await the action of the grand
jury. Morrison was then committed to
the county jail without bail.
Morrison was taken to White Plains
and put in Jail The next grand jury
will assemble in White Plains on the
first Monday in February. District At
torneys Andrews to-day claimed that he
had sufficient evidence to prove that
Morrison in shooting his wife commit
ted a deliberate and premedtated mur-
der.

ATTEMPT TO STARYE THEMSELYES.
Mother and Daughter Living i'm North
Manchesier-An IA nInvestianttOn.

South Manchester, Jan. IA report,
which has gained much currency that
Mrs. Augusta Moffett and her daughter
Bertha, who reside on StarkWeather
street, North Manchester, were in des-
tltute circumstances and apparently
were endeavoring to starve themselves
to death, has been taken cognizance OF
by the local authorities, and though the
case is one that will necessitate atten-
tion from the authorities, it is not Of
the sensational nature that rumor had
it, Mrs Moffett is about fifty-fve years
of age and the daughter is about thirty.
To-day Selectmen c. G. Watkins and
Henry Barrows went to the house to in
vestigate the case. They repeatedly
knocked at the door, but, receiving no
reply took off the storm door and,
breaking the glass in the inner door,
forced an entrance. They could not see
anybody in the living room, and, con-
tinuing their search, found both of the
women in bed and dressed
1t was apparent to the men that the
women were mentally unbalanced and
showed a great fear, but were soon quiz
eted and appeared to become somewhat
rational. 1t was ascertained that there
was no food or fuel in the house. and
in order that the women may not suf-
fer both will be supplied by the town
pending some other arrangement. Mrs.
Moffett and her daughter removed here
from Providence about three months
ago. The daughter went to work in
Cheney's mill, but soon became possess
ed with the hallucination that people
from Providence were following and
bothering her and could not be induced
to leave the house. The mother seems
likewise to entertain the same delusions.
1t was learned that a sister of the
mother was living here with I. C. Balch,
but at present was visiting at Will
mantle. The authorities will take no
definite action, except to relieve the wo-
mems wants, until she returns.
