CHAPEL STREET PROPERTY SOLD

The Chamberlain Furniture and Mantel Company Buys Fine Piece--Firm to Erect Big Building.
 The sale of an important piece of property on Chapel street was recorded in the office of the town clerk yesterday. The Chamberlain Furniture and Mantel company, now located at the corner ot Orange and Grown streets, bought the property of Adolph Weiss and wife, or West Haven, and 1t is understood that the price paid for the property is $2S,- 500 Mir Weiss is of the firm of PfafT & Weiss, grocers in West Haven, and ms wife, whom he married about month ago, was Miss Wilhelmina Pfeister. Mrs. Pfeister was a companion of MISS Caroline l.. Smith, who died two years ago leaving an estate worth $150,000. goodly portion of it she bequeathed to Miss Pfeister, and the heirs by blood began suit to contest the will. Subse- ouently the case was settled out of court, and Miss Pfeister in the settle ment secured the Chapel street home stead.
 The Chamberlain Furniture and Man tel company will remain at their pres ent location until three years from next May, at which time their lease expires. At that time, if their present plans ma ture, they will have new build ng at 1101 Chapel street fully responding to their needs.
 The lot they have purchased fronts 531s feet on Chapel street, between York and High streets and runs back 199 feet. The intention is to cover this lot entirely with business block. It will likely be five or six stories high.
 The new building they will erect on Chapel street will give them about twice as much floor space as they now have. For several months the firm have been looking about for bigger quarters. At one time they contemplated the pur- chase of the building on Chapel street formerly occupied by Lewis X Maycock, the undertakers.
