Y.ANZ CASE APPEALED.

| The final appeal in the case of George Yang was filed in the superior court yesterday, with the reasons of the ap- peal set forth in the document. The | case will now come before the supreme court at it's session in this city on the third Tuesday in January, at which time State Attorney Williams and J. P. 1 Goodhart will argue the case for the
 state and defense, respectively. In the reasons of appeal the defend ant sets forth three portions of the charge of Judge Ralph Wheeler, who tried the case. All the portions relate to the effect of the circumstances under
 which the killing took place--upon the degree of the crime found by the jury. Judge Wheeler charged the jury that a
 man must find his wife in the act of adultery and must commit the crime while passion was upon him to lessen the degree of the crime, and that even then it would be no lesser crime than manslaughter.
 The other reason of the appeal is the ruling of the judge in rejecting the tes- timony of Mrs. Augusta Week as to whether after the crime Mrs. Yang made any statements concerning Goer- ing.
 If this appeal is favorably considered by the supreme court a new trial of the case will be granted after the case is re- viewed.

THIRD RAIL EXTENSION.

No Important Changes, However, Will
 be Made in the System at the Present
 Time.
 Hartford, Dec 27.-In regard to the alterations contemplated at the Berlin electric station of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, Superintendent Davidson said to-day that while the third rail system .would no doubt be extended, he did not think that the changes to be made at Berlin meant the extension of the system at present. Since the plant was installed at Berlin there have been many inn provements in the way of machines for general electric energy, and con templated changes are for the purpose of placing the most modern machine into the system in order to get the best results out of the plant. Eventually the third rail system will be extended to the line between Berlin and Middle town, but other enlargements of the system, if they are contemplated, were not known to the head of the Hartford division.

THE LATE sUPT. SMITH.
One nf His Remarkable Achievements
 While in Service Here.

While in Service Here.
 The late Superintendent of Police 'rreadwell Smith, whose death and rec ord of whose life was recorded in full in yesterdays Journal and Courier, had been connected with the capture of many well known crooks during his time. One of the most notable achieve ments was his following up of the Big owl" robbery that occurred on January | 6. 1866. and the eventual capture of the men who made away with over half a million dollars on that night. The bag of gold was stolen at Cos Cob, and Superintendent Smith got on the trail of the men and followed them for weeks, finally causing their arrest and conviction
 The amount stolen was in the neigh borhood of $550 ,000 and all was recover ed excepting about s150,000, The case cost about s60,000 to prosecute, and oc- cupied four months.
 Superintendent Smith received great credit for the part he played in their capture and conviction, and also receiv- ed substantial gift in the shape of a big roll of greenbacks from the com pany.
 Superintendent Smith was seventy years of age last November. Since his retirement he had not been much about town. After retiring he went to Wood mont, where he had a cottage and, with his wife, lived somewhat in retirement and solitude. He devoted his attention to poultry raising and seemed to take much enjoyment out of his return to private life and release from official cares, Six months ago, on account of failing health Superintendent Smith returned to his city home on Cottage street, where he died.
 He leaves, besides wife and son, of this city, and two sisters. Mrs Rachel Robbins and Mrs, John P. Brewer, wife of the captain of the Grand avenue precinct.
 Superintendent Smith belonged to several fraternal organizations, among them City lodge, l. O. O. F.; Sassacus Encampment, Ezel lodge. Q. U. A, M. and the Knights of Pythias
 The funeral will take place on Satur- day afternoon from his residence, IA Cottage street, at ? o'clock, where prayers will be said, The services at the Epworth M. F. church will take place at 2:30 o'clock Superintendent Wtinn Is arranging for a police detail to attend the funeral.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
IMPORTANT DECISION IN DO-
 HERTY-BEIIS SUIT.

Latter Wins Pivotal Potnt-Yanz Cnso AppeaIed-Rcnsons Found in Superior Court Yesterday y-Howard Holmes Att | tachcd City Court News. Judge Robinson of the superior court yesterday handed down a decision in
 the case of Colonel J. B. Doherty of Waterbury against former Insurance Commissioner Frederick A. Betts in a suit for $5,000 for alleged slander The decisin is on plaintiffs demulrers to de- fense. There were several of them and they are all overruled.
 The demurrers were argued last Fri day by Attorney W. H. Ely for Dohcrty and eX-Judge Henry Stoddard for Betts. The defense in its answer to the com- plaint set up that what MT. Betts had said regarding Colonel Doherty were privileged communications made in his capacity as insurance commissioner. To this plaintiff demurred, and the court overrules the demurrer.
 The case will now be tried out on the facts, but the pleadings are not yet fin-
 shod. It is possible that the case may fall on future pleadings and drop out of court. The plea of privileged commu- nications" was really the chief point on which the suit hinged. That is now up- held, but an appeal may be made to the supreme court.
 The suit is one in which Doherty claimed that Commissioner Betts while investigating the affairs of the Connect icut Indemnity company said in the hearing of other persons that $750 of certain s1,000 check had gone into Do- herty's pocket. He claimed also that MT. Betts had stated in the same con- nection to another person that he had enough evidence to put Doherty in pris- on.

FACTS AT DIES MONIES.
Dispute as to Facts in High school
Football Match.

The G o recently published an &C
count of a game between the Des RIoines
Central high school football team and the
st. Paul Central high school team. The
game was played in Des Mcines. The
ST, Paul players believe that they Won
The game by a score of 5 to 0, and the
game was so reported.
An account of the game published by
a DeS Noines paper, which has been re-
ceived in this city, declares that the Wis
tiers forfeited the game by a score OF 6
10 0.
The admitted facts are these: st. Paul
made a touchdown and the Des Moines
team did not In the second half of the
game Prof. SickIes, accompanying the
St. Paul team would rot allow his men
to proceed with the play owing to an al
legged unjust decision on the part of the
referee. The referee refused to revoke
his announced decision and declared the
game forfeited to the local team by a
score of to 0.
The St Paul men claim that they We're
given an unfair deal and were allowed
no choice in choosing any of the officials
Of the game.
The Des bIoines team claim that the
action of the st. Paul coach in pulling
his team off the field looks as if he feared
his team would be scored on, as the ball
was very near the st. Paul's line AS to
the referee, they state that he was at
one time captain of the Iowa university
team and has a long stablished reputa-
ton as square and fair man"
