'NINE LITTLE MOTHERS"
Helped to Entertain at Convent dt
 Notre Dame Last Night

Helped to Entertain at Convent de
 Notre Dame Last Night.
 Several pretty little soirees have been given at Notre Dame convent un- der the supervision of Miss Marie ter trude McDonell, instructor of physi- cal culture and elocution, since CT arrival in this city, but last night a grand musicale was given by children who had been trained for the occas- ion by Miss McDonell. The manner in which the little misses acted indi- vidually and collectively. the harmony of movement and blending of tone in the choruses. beautiful and impress sive posing, -Nquisite singing and the delightfu- recitations reelected much credit upon Miss NIcDonel1 and clearly demonstrated her ability and efficiency as an instructor.
 The seating capacity of the convent hall was taxed to it's limit and many were standing. The opening num- Der was a pantomime by twelve title tots, dressed in white.. The reading :;l the pantomime was done by Katherine Jackson in a manner in which her teacher may well feel a just pride. Splendid and exquisite was the posing by Meta Carroll and Mollie Cullen, the 1OlOWluS clliTdcteTS p1lLS represent ed: The Sailors Wife. The Greek Slave. The Quarrel. Bedtime, Up Among the Stars. Pity. What Have You Done? Blind. In the Orchard. Listening, The First Step. The Friend- ly Gossip. A Bit of News. Easter Morning and The Angelus. Tha pos ing, which was of Miss McDoneli $ own composition, received immense az plause from those present. A prettT 7 little operetta. entitled ''The Nine Lit- tic Grandmothers," was the next nuih Der on the program. The little chn- dren presented q funny appearance. attired in quaint and antique cos tunes, as they participated in a danc2 of the revolutionary days. Recitation; by Katherine Jackson and Mollie Gull len were of rare merit. while Margaret Sweeney won the hearts of all pres ent by her violin selections.
 The closing number was the operet- ta, Gypsy Queen" Genevieve Scul- ly portrayed in an admirable manner her part, while the singing of Sadie Wolff, the Yankee peddler, was of rare merit, while her movements were marked with q delicacy and graceful ness which made her a favorite with the audience. The same may be re- peated of Louise Martin as the "For- tune Teller
 The musicale in it's entirety was of rare merit and was highly enjoyable to those present, all of whom expressed the desire that Miss McDonell would favor them with another similar en- tertainment in the near future.

 There will be special meeting q the Brooklyn Athletic club tomorrow morning at II o'clock
 Every member Of the St Thomas Cadets A. A. is requested to be pres 7:3O.
 The voters of the Town plot school district held largely attended meet ing Thursday night in the Town plot school building. Emmonds Chipman presided. It was voted to have an Iron fence erected about the school property at cost not exceeding $1 GOO. The meeting also endorsed the action of the committee consisting of -Attor- ney Porter L. Wood. chairman; Elm monds Chipman and A. Germann, In opposing consolidation. Many re- marks were made by those present con- cerning consolidation, the tone of which was very unfavornble to the proposed marriage between the city and town. Several of the speakers avalled themselves of the opportunity of denouncing as manifestly unjust the intended action of those in favor of the consolidation scheme in taxing those property holders who were brought into the city limits when the city lines were revised about two years 1 ago. on the same standard as those Who were always residents of the city. A promise had been given to the for mer that they would not be thus taxed for several causes, one of which was l that they did not enjoy the benefits that those within the city had. This | was the substance of the remarks as expressed at the meeting. A large audience should he present l at the Lyceum tomorrow night, when grand sacred concert and lecture will 1 be given by the best of talent An | interesting lecture on "St Brendan. the | Foyager," will be delivered by Thomas | F.

WATERBURY, PROPERTY FIGHr.

Another Matter Involving Thousands
 Handed in From the Brass City.
 Two Waterbury cases were brought from the Brass city, this morning, says the New Haven Register. They were the. cases of Albert Burritt and wife, executors of the estate of Albert Burritt, deceased, ys Angelo c. Burritt ct al. of that city.
 In the first case it is claimed that defendant was the guardian of Sam uel H. Burritt, a 5-year- old boy in that city in 1878, and that the Albert Bur ritt now deceased gave bond to se- cure Angelo as the said guardian. The boy died soon after.
 According to the papers In the case one Elton and appointed administrator of the boys estate in the probate court as recently as two years ago. This court then ordered Angelo to file an accounting with the estate, which it is alleged he never did. Elton then sued Albert M. Burritt and wife as executors on the bond and recovered judgment for SS.C42.95, which the plaintiffs in the present case paid, and now sue Angelo for.
 In answer Angelo claims that in 1872 he came in possession of trust fund of $72,00o. which was held in trust for his wife. and he declares that he loaned it all to Albert Burritt, and he sets this up as q set off and coun- ter claim to the claim of the plaintiff. He further claims S5O,GOO damages.
 A motion was made to-day for a more particular statement in this case by Terry & Bronson for plaintiff, and demurrer was made to the answer in the second of the. cases, which is of the same name and character, and in which the claim is set up that An gelo has transferred all of his prop erty to Samuel J. Marsh of Waterbury and hence the plaintiff cannot collect any judgment he may gain against the defendant.
 Both matters were postponed to-day. The parties are prominent in Water bury.

SOME COURT NOTES,
Hearing on Mrs Welton's Will Con-
 tinued for a Month,

There was a short hearing today on the will of the late Mrs Jane Eleanor Welton of East Main street, in the probate court before Judge Lowe. At torney John O'Neill appeared for one of the principal legatees, Attorney E. r. Arvine of New Haven; Attorney Walsh of New Britain, formerly judge Of the court of common pleas of Hart ford county, appeared for Celinda J. Robinson of New York. In the will Mrs Robinson was left $4OO and quantity of personal goods, but in a codicil this legacy was revoked. At torney John P. Kellogg appeared for the University of Pennsylvania, which was given a large portion of the es- tate, but was ultimately cut off with opt a penny after the testatrix had taken up her residence in this city. The estate, it is claimed by some Of the heirs. is worth about SlO0, GOO, but the others claim that it is valued at only about $25,0O0, and that about ten years ago some one who posed as a friend of Mrs Welton caused her a loss of about $6O,00O. The hearing was continued to February 23, when the above matters will be disclosed in more detail.
 Judge Lowe has denied Mrs Sarah 11otCuhiSS pStltlou LOl NCASCA Noto to be appointed over her sister, Mrs Caroline Scovill of City Mills lane. At torney Meigs, counsel Tor the petition CT. has taken an appeal.
 Mrs Edward s. Smith was today appointed administrative on the estate of her husband under the second will. which was introduced to the probate court q few weeks ago by the Farm CTS Loan and Trust Co of New York, and in which that corporation was nominated executor. The probate court did not approve of that nomina- tion on the grounds that the corpora tion was incapable of fulfilling the trust and because it was an alien i'll this state. The matter has been taken to the superior court on an appeal. MT Smiths estate is worth about S6O,OOO.
 The business transacted at the short calendar in the district court to-day was light Foreclosure for q tax bill of $9O.OS was, granted against Edward Beaulac. Law days as follows: First Monday ill March for Beaulac, and the succeeding days in this order: Martin P. and Mary Lawlor. Adeline B. Beaulac, s. Hellmann and c. A. Platt.

A bond of $50 was ordered in the cases of James Fitzgerald and Charles A. Bald win against the city. All other busi- | ness on the list went over to next week.

PLAN TO EXAMINE NoTARIEs.

Senator Bree of New Haven to Intro
 duce New Amendments ill Hartford
 Yesterday Senator James F. Bree, says the New Haven Union, announced his intention to introduce an amend ment to the notary public law of this state in the legislature now convened at Hartford. The amendment will re- auire educational qualifications of every applicant for notary public i- cense.
 As it is now any person who will send an application to the governor and enclose $1 will i'll almost every case receive license. No questions are asked and it is known for fact that often foreigners have been grant ed licenses when they were so illiterate that beyond the ability to scrawl q signature they were almost absolutely ignorant of common laws and their meaning.
 Much discussion has arisen through out the state. especially among mem bers of the bar, concerning this fact and 1t is generally felt that such an amendment will be for the public good.
 Upon Italians especially the knowl- edge of this fact has created de cidedly bad impression. In Italy it Is required that q notary public shall pc a person of more than ordinary edu- cation, and a person appointed to such a position Is looked upon with more than ordinary, respect by his neigh, bors. When the information had reached the other side that fellow countrymen who before coming to this country were so illiterare that they could not read or write their own Ian {, ruage, have been appointed notaries public after but short residence IL this country. and 1t has had anythins but a tendency to inspire respect fol American institutions and customs Paul Russo. the Italian lawyer o1 New Haven. has had the matter ir mind for some time, and 1t was he wht 1 suggested to Senator Bree the advisa bility of bringing about a reform. Th' amendment will probably require tha
