 There was no city court this morn ing. The only man who made buSl- ness worth mentioning for the police last evening was named James Boice of Woodbury. This man and a friend got into an argument near Hellmann's saloon on Grand street and after a lively suffie Boice retired through one of the windows, causing a great crash. As he was intoxicated he was arrested He did not stand, trial, preferring to pay 80 for his imprudence. The liquor cases against James OBrien and Timothy Aoynihan were contin- ued to Thursday.
 The anniversary of the death of Bishop McMahon was observed at St Joseph's cathedral. Hartford, yester- day morning by the celebration of a pontifical requiem mass.

 Business people who receive goods from others to be repaired or cleaned are of the opinion that notice to the effect that they will be responsible for goods left with them after. so many days, absolves them from any liability for loss; that in fact they are at lib erty to dispose of the articles to com pensate themselves for their labor on them. Under this impression shoe maker doing business on South Main street disposed of pair of shoes few days ago that had been with him for some time. It is likely that had they not been disposed of the owner would not have called for them; but it trans pired that the day after the cobbIer had sold theme tor ,$1 the owner called for them Such a transaction could not be experienced without great deal of warmth and threats. and a final appeal to the law; When a con stable called upon the cobbler the lat ter found out his mistake. He had to buy the shoes back and pay the first owner for the wear and tear by the second owner. -
 Contractor Contaldi. has started put ting in the water main in Washington street from Baldwin street as far east as the new residence of MT Wrinn. Whatever truth there may have been in the charge of tardiness alleged against Contaldi in other places it is certain that nothing of the kind can be charged against him since he start ed that job yesterday. He appears to be hustling and i'll a few days that street will have all the water the resi- dents want But tile man who appears to be making a hit this year is James Sutton. He rushed the Sylvan avenue and lower Washington street sewers through in short 4order and has ithe one on Washington street east of Syl- van avenue well under" way now. This leads to Thomas F. Halpii's block, which stands on the knoll in that street and commands a view of the whole town. With one exception, the Wrinn and Halpin blocks are the first built in that street since it was opened several years ago. These with the magnificent three family house put up this. summer on Sylvan avenue by James Morris add considerably to the appearance of things in that district and go a good way towards showing what wonderful factors are the sew CTS and city water mains in the deyel- opment of unimproyed property.
