SEARCHING FOR FIREBUG
Who Has Twice Set Fire to House in
 Hamden.

Who Has Twice Set Fire to House in
 Hamden.
 The constabulary force of the town of Haniden and the local detectives are trying to apprehend an incendiary who has operated twice in Hamden.
 At the corner of Allen street and Dix well avenue, in Hamden, is a two-story two-family frame house occupied by an Italian and by barber named John Valentine. A week ago last Tuesday fire broke out in the Valentine apart ments and did damage to the amount of about $100. It was extinguished by the Hamden fire department. Since that time Valentine has not been living there, as his apartments are being re- paired.
 On Wednesday morning a second fire was discovered in the same apartments and was extinguished after about $100 damage had been done. It was found that kerosene oil had been poured on the carpet, and several half burned matches upon the floor bore out the in- cendiary theory.
 Constable Robert O'Connell and De- tectives Donnelly and Ward took Val entine to police headquarters, where he was examined. It is not believed that he is implicated in any way and he was not held.
 No reason can be discovered for the crime. The building Is owned by John F. Callahan, saloonkeeper and grocer, who resides next door to the burned building.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
JUDGE SHUMWIY SUSTAINS DE-
 MURRER BY INSURANCE co.
Case-Dividepds Declared in Bank ruptcy Court Matters in the Common PEcasamd City Courts.

By decision of Judge Shumway, or the superior court, sustaining demur- Ter entered by the defendant against the complainant in the case of Mary Vincent vs. the Mutual Reserve Fund Life association, of New York, the case is thrown out of court.
 Mrs. Vincent sued to recover on an insurance policy of $1,000 on the life of her mother, Ann Murphy, who died on March 6, 1890. The company negotiated for settlement of the policy, of which Mrs. Vincent was beneficiary, but no settlement was reached, and eleven months after Mrs. Murphy died Mrs. Vincent, through Attorney Hamilton, brought suit to recover. This suit was thrown out of court because there was no damage clause in it.
 An appeal to the supreme court will probably be taken by Attorney Hamil- ton.
 In the case of Mark O'Rlley vs. Mi- chael J. O'Riley a demurrer entered by defendant is overruled.
