DISTRICT COURT.
Jay Terrell of Southbury Is Getting
 Tired of the Courts.


 In the district court this morning Jay Terrell of Southbury asked Judge Cowell to issue decree of punishment against him. The court smiled and replied that he was afraid such de- cree would not hold good; that it could not be enforced. Terrell was on the stand testifying on bond for his son Frank, who last week was ordered by Judge Cowell to pay for the main- tenance of Lucy NIarshalFs child for two years. Terrell was given a week to consider wAat he would do. obey the order of the court, furnish bond on an appeal, or go to jail. He de. cided to appeal and his father came to town this morning to furnish tue re- quisite bond of $500. It developed in his testimony, which was brought out by Judge Warner of Woodbury, that his wife had a half ownership in all his property and her name was neces- sary to any papers he may sign to make them good. Terrell testified that he owns about sixty-five acres of pas ture and plow-land and five acres of homestead, all worth about $2,000. with an incumbranee of only $400. For his part he was ready to sign his title
 
 in the property to anyone who would give the bond for his son.. He was sick and tired of the whole business, he said. He has been persecuted and he hoped that when the court would issue it's final decreee 1t would also or der him to be banished forever Judge | Cowell said he doubted the validity of such an order. He recalled an incl | dent when he was some years younger that he ordered q young woman living in this city at the time to be ban ished to Derby within week, but at the end of the week he found he could. l not enforce the decree. However, Terrell said he wanted to be banished; 1 he was sick and tired of the persecu- tion. It seems that some time ago Terrell got involved in law. He en- 1 gagged a lawyer; so did the other man, aud between both lawyers he was put I to considerable bother and more. ex- pense. And when he thought the sky was brightening, his own lawyer ad- vised him to settle. Settle what" exclaimed Terrell "Why, man, I've not cent to settle with; you've got it all" Terrelrs case was continued a week
 At short calendar, judgment was given Theophilus Olena against Pat rick Mooney for foreclosure for $157.- 77. Law day June 2.

CHARGED WITH INTIMIDATION
Business Agent of Carpenters Union
 Again Arrested.

ASdiu <AILESLC1s
 Joseph E. Sandiford, business agent for the Carpenters union, was arrested last evening charged with intimida- ton. The complainant is nenry A. Lawlor. a well known contractor. The case should have been heard in the c.y court this morning, but for some un- known reason it was not called. 1t is assumed that Sandiford will get the best of the argument this time, as he is man to profit by experiences. A rule of union labor provides that mas ter builders shall not be members of the union Of their trade, or something to that effect Until recently Law lor's two sons were not in partnership with him. Now they have the power of discharging and hiring men.
 Whether or not this was known to Sandiford has not yet been disclosed, but it will be brought out at the trial. One of the sons, Jchn, is 21, and Frank, the other, is 20. One thing is certain, and that is that Sandiford is adhering to the rules of his union.
 Last week carpenter employed by Lawlor, named John Gruener, was paid off by one of the Lawlor boys. 1 Subsequently Greuner told the one who had paid him off that he could not again work for the firm; that he had 1 been forbidden by the business agent of his union, Sandiford. The Lawlors
 heard this with evident surprise. They investigated and, it is said. ascer- tained for themselves that Sandiford had discriminated against them. Yes l terdav Sandiford and Lawlor met. lrrs1.~ l.. T iry1 l this it would seem that Sandiford had a strong objection to allowing union l men to work with the Lawlor boys. l What the objection was did not ap- pear. From this discussion LaWlor became convinced that some minor l difficulties he had encountered Of late
 came through Sandiford and com plaint was lodged with the prosecuting attorney. Sandiford is on bail.
 Sandiford says the story that he was found by Lawlor In the opera house
 "enjoying" himself is nonsense. He was at the meeting place of his union when Lawlor saw him. The story tolo by Lawlor also that he has been sub jected to annoyance by Sandiford anc that contractors in general have beer annoyed by him, is false. Lawlor has l but one union man working for him
 and he was told to quit by the union
 not by Sandiford. Furthermore, tht
 story of Lawlor that he has always
 employed none but union men and pait
 them higher than the union rate Is alst
 false. Four union men asked Lawlo
 for work last week and because h'
 would not pay them 20 cents an hou they refused to work for him. Sandi ford again says that in the contrac for building the house where the al legged trouble is said to have takel place no mention is made of Lawlor' sons The case promises to be nor interesting than any of the preceding two Sandiford denies he had any thing to do with LaMlor'S difficulties.

J. E. MuLLINGs & SON.
George G. Mullings Becomes Busl-
 ness Partner With His Father.

To-day George c. Mullings, for sew eral years employed as bookkeeper in the clothing and furnishing store of his father, John B. Mullings, or to 103 Bank street, was added to the firm, and from this time on the house will be known as that of J. B. Mullings x Son. George c. Mullings Is a young man of good habits and promises to be worthy and useful member of the firm which has so long commanded the respect, esteem and generous patron age of the people of Waterbury, for probably there is no more familiar business name in town than that of Mullings. The firm of John Mullings was established in 1S40 and remained so until 1870, when 1t was changed to John Mullings & Go, the firm then consisting of the present J. E. Mul- lings and his father. After the death of the senior member of the firm lin 1887 the business passed into the hands of the present I. B. Nfullings, who has conducted 1t with marked sue cess ever since.
