Attorney c. A. Harrison, counsel for
Hattie S. Stevens of Wallingford, has
brought suit for $4,000 against Lois e.
Talmadge of Branford for alienation of
her husbands affections. The allega-
ton is that the plaintiff is and for
many years has been the wife of Elmer
S. Stevens of Wallingford, and on and
before May l, 1899, lived happily with
her husband. On or about May /, 1899,
the defendant, by her acts, blandish-
ments and seductions alienated the love
and affections Of the plaintiffs husband
and destroyed the plaintiffs happiness
and the happiness of her home and has
continued so to do. Adultery is alleged
at Pine Orchard.
The plaintiff suffered great pain of
body and great distress of mind and
has lost the love, affection and society
of her husband and her own happiness,
and has been neglected and abandoned
by her said husband in consequence of
wrongs and injuries of the defendant,
as aforesaid and said abandonment
still continues. The damages claimed
are $4,000.

IMPORTANT DECISION IN TAX AP-
PEAL CASES.
November Term of supreme Court of
Errors-M Many Foreclosures Suits OF

Errors Many Foreclosures Suits o
All Descriptions-'n the city Court.
Judge Robinson in the superior court
yesterday rendered five decisions re-
garding New Haven tax appeals from
the board of relief and the decisions in
every case but one uphold the valua-
tons of the property as made by the
city's officials. The single reduction is
an unimportant one.
The court handed down memoran-
dums in each case which are in part as
follows:
In Emily N. Dwight 797-799 Chapel
street, complaint with reference to
land alone, the court finds that the as
sessment upon such land is not unjust
and excessive, and does not exceed the
true actual and just valuation of the
same. The court further finds that said
valuation is not disproportionate, and
that the actual value of the land Is as
dismissed with single costs in favor of
the city of New Haven.
In Stanley Dwight ct al VS.. the city,
$40 Chapel street, the court finds that
the appeal relates to the valuation of
the land alone. The court also finds the
assessment and valuation not unjust
and excessive, and that the actual value
of the land is as assessed, SAG, 500, and
that the appeal must be dismissed with
single costs in favor of the city of New
Haven
In Timothy F. Beers ct al. (CoX q
Henze building) and Others the court
does not find that the land has been
overvalued. The court says: the
only rule which / find was adopted and
applied was one which required the
assessors and board of relief to place
the property in the list at its true and
actual value. But | do find that one OF
the buildings in said list is assessed at
an generalization. l refer to the one
which is valued at $1,000. This value
should be, I find, $500 and this l find
to be it's actual present value. The
building should be changed from $l,2o0
to $780, Let judgment be drawn up
in accordance with these views and pro-
viding further that the appellants snail
recover of the city single COSTS
In George H. Bishop (the Elliott
housed the land was valued by the as
SCISSORS at $4,000 and the building at
SIS, 600 The board of relief reduced the
latter to $4,000. The court says;

TwtA sszasTING SUITS.


The principals in the two suits pend
ing between George II. Pfaff, the
Church street butcher, and James
White, of the brokerage firm of James
White & Co, have agreed to suomit the
matter to arbitration. Attorney George
M Gum has been agreed upon as a
committee to hear the evidence, and
both parties have agreed to accept his
finding. The agreement to submit the
cases to arbitration waq reached yes
terday morninkatca conference between
the parties and their attorney, J. Birney
futile and Stoddard &c Goodhart
George II. Pfaff through Stoddard &
Goodhart, brought suit against White
& Co. to recover $i,400 alleged to be
due him on commissions. Pfaff had
been buying on margins and claimed
that the concern owed him 81 400 at
the time he stopped dealing with them.
Later on White brought suit against
Pfaff, claiming that the butcher owed
him $146. He denied owing Pfaff any
thing on commissions. 1t will be nee
essary for Attorney Gum to go to New
York to take some of the testimony.
Some of the stock transactions took
place in New York. Considerable inter
esting evidence will probably be brought
out.

been overvalued. / further find that
there has been no application Of any
unjust rule of assessment and that the
property has not been assessed at
| greater value than other and similar
properties in New Haven. In short, |
do not find that the wrongs complained
of by the appellants have been proven,
| l find that the actual value of the land
is $4,000 and the buildings $4,000. This
appeal must be dismissed with single
costs in favor of the city of New Ha-
| ven"
| In Elise L. Davis ct al, "Fernhurst,
| the old Union office, and $3.50 Broad
way, the court says Il find that in the
case of each of these pieces there has
been no generalization or unjust rule or
assessment.
I'm brief, l find that the general
wrongs complained of by the PLAINTIFF
have not been proven. 1 find that
'Fernhurst is fully worth all that the
board of relief fixed upon it; but | am
satisfied that the division of the amount
between the land and the buildings
should have been different. l therefore
find that the residence itself is worth
$4,000 instead of $4,000, as specified
The buildings on the land are correctly
assessed at 1920. / am further salts
fed and therefore find that the entire
tract of land contained in said place,
being at least thirty-seven acres is Of
the actual value of $4,000 more than
the sum named in the list for the land.
I find that all the other pieces OF prop
erty named in said appeal are actually
worth all that the board of relief placed
upon them.
THE court is of the opinion that the
following changes in the valuation IN
that list appealed from should be made:
The house at 'Fernhurst should be
changed from $4,000 TO $4,000, and the
'F'ernhurst' land from $10,764 to Sl4,7G4.
These changes do not alter or diminish
the sum total assessed upon the prop
erty. This appeal must be dismissed
without costs from either party
The result of these findings will be
and important. Just what
the outcome will be it was impossible to
tell yesterday however. Counsel Tor
the appellants were cast down by the
