 The county commissioners are eX- pected every day to visit the court house and the altercations in progress in the superior court room but so far they have not shown any inclination to realize expectations. It has been Sug- gested in the alterations to recess the judges bench thus following out the plan in the district court and by this means leave ample room to move with freedom about tine clerks desk.
 The deputy sheriffs of Ansonia who are cOngregated at the scene of the strike of the machinists, the Farrel N vices in the foundry, and the Ansonia Sentinel has the following to say on the matter: "The deputy sheriffs in the city state that 'Parson' Spencer declines to conduct services for them Sunday. because he has not yet re- ceived his credentials showing that he is authorized to perform the duties of q parson. and because his salary has not yet been fixed. He says he will not accept of the offerings if the hat is passed, for he is too well acquainted witl: portion of his congregation, and he has all the suspender buttons and poker chips needed. He is even in doubt if his own hat should be used to take up the collection that he would get it backs
 While the weather maintains the present temperature crowding in the city court room will not be allowed by the police. Only those who contrive to get seats will be allowed to remain. and all spectators must expect to give way to witnesses, court officers and others connected in various ways with the machinery of the court. This morn ing the crowd that was in the room long before Judge Peasley took his seat on the bench would have stif1ed the whole audience in a short time it was so large. The atmosphere of the city court room is never in a vain | mood: it knows it has nothing to boast of and the only way in which it can | make itself felt is to make it extremely uncomfortable on the occasion of a long session. Consequently if you have business in the city court be astir ear ly and get a seat there.
