 Common Pleas COurt-Probate Court \ Affairs -Cify Court Doimgs.

The United States circuit court, Judge z Platt and jury, convened in this city yesterday morning to begin the second week of the trial of the big suit for damages brought by Brown Brothers of London, England, against George J. Capewell, William G. Allen and Charles Flint of Hartford. Much surprise was manifested when the attorneys an- nounced that the suit had been with drawn and that the costs would be pro- vided for. The jury was then dis charged and the court adjourned.
 The suit was brought by Brown Brothers for $175,O0O. They claimed that the machinery was not as repre- scented. The defence was that the ma chimes were all right, but those pur- chased by Brown Brothers were not properly of skillfully operated. The de- fendants received about $50,000 for the machines and rights sold to the plain tiffs. In the settlement made Monday the plaintiffs made full acknowledge ment that there had been no intent on the part of the defendants to defraud. In consideration of this acknowledge ment payment of a certain amount, which is not made public, will be made by the defendants Robinson & Rob- inson of Hartford and Lawrence X Hughes of New York are lawyers for the plaintiffs an dthe defendants law years are Judge A. F. Eggleston of Buck & Eggleston and William l.. Hun gerford, of Hungerford, Hyde, Joslin & Gilman of Hartford.
 MT. Brown said that the expenses of the suit would cost his company about $2,50O. The capital of his company is about $1,250, 900.

 Attorney James D. Dewell, jr, of this city Monday issued papers for the Hartford and New London Transporta- tion company, lbelling the steamer Wiantha lying at the Morgan Iron works New London. and the papers were served Monday by United States Marshal Bishop. The steamer is own- ed by the company, but there has been a dispute over repairs, and the Morgan people refused to surrender the craft, so an action for libel was necessary. The plaintiffs claims that they were willing to pay for the repairs as soon as completed but the defendants had neglected to complete the work and the owners want the boat to put her in commission. The case will be tried in the United States district court at Hartford. May 27.

SUN AND MOON RESPONSIBLE.
English Scientists Theory of Mont
 Pelee Eruption.

London, May 13.-The relative posi- ton of the sun and moon, at an angle of forty-fiv degrees, Is said by Hugh Clements. the scientist to have been the cause of the Mont Pelee eruption on the island of Martinique
 Mir. Clements says that this relative position of the sun and the earth's sat- elite occurred at exactly ten minutes to on Thursday last the time when the eruption began.
 The immense force exerted on the earth by the tangential position of the two bodies, he says, acted fully upon Mont Pelee and it's molten contents, The force was great enough to cause the blowing up of the volcano's cap
 The Galveston disaster. he points out, occurred when the sun and moon were in a similar position to each oth-

A JOKE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

Councilmen Amused at Newspaper
 Stories
 The fun with which the councilmen wound up their session Monday night the last regular session before the board goes out of office, seems to have been taken very seriously by some of the local papers. After they had finish ed the business of the session the coun- cilmen proceeded to little horse play as is always the custom at the last reg uar meeting of the board before the members terms of office expire.
 Councilman Kelly offered a resolution which was read amid laughter provid- ing that the chairs and desks in the chamber be declare dthe property of the members occupying them as souvenirs of their public services. Then some equally humorous amendments were tackled on and the whole thing passed, the members realizing that they had no authority to give away the furniture of the chamber and not desiring, to do so.

ENI,ERTAINME ENTS.
Hyperion Theater. KYRLE BELLEW APPEARS FRI DAY AND SATURDAY.

DAY AND SATURDAY.
 Kyrle Bellew, the distinguished actor,
 who appears at the Hyperion next Fri day and Saturday nights and at the
 matinee Saturday in "A Gentleman of
 France" is acknowledged both in Eng
 land and America to be the foremost
 romantic actor of the day And this | judgment has been delivered many times by the recognized authorities of
 both countries. William Archer, the
 foremost of the English critics, recently placed Bellew with Irving, Tree, Rob-
 ertson and Willard as one of the first group of English players, and in con
 clusion he said; ''Of these Kyrla Be!lew
 is undoubtedly the foremost in roman 1 classic roles
 1 J. Rankin Towse, New York's most conservative critic at the present time, wrote only the other day that to see
 Bellew act should be "a liberal educa- tion" to the young stars of the Faver- sham and Hackett class. Continuing he said: ITO find parallel for Bellows graceful and finished art, as shown in his rendering of Gaston de Marsac in "A Gentleman of France, one is obliged to go back to memories of E. L, Daven- port, James w. Wallack and Frederick Lemaitre Bellew is easily at the head of the romantic actors to-day,
 It further seems agreed that no actor on the Englsh-speaking stage except Belew has the spiritual, intellectual and physical attributes, as well as the breadth of temperament and technique, to fill the positions in America so long held by Edwin Booth. Indeed critics everywhere are bidding Bellew to take up the Booth repertoire and give us again a Hamlet worthy of the part and a Romeo, Ruy Bias and Don Caesar de Bazan that shall recll the standards of Booth in these mster roles. And it Is more than likely that al the conclusion of Mir Bellows term with his present sensational success, "A Gentleman of Francer Liebler &t Co.,, his managers, will present him to the public not only in America, but in England, in round of Shakespearean parts. The hero of "A Gentleman of France is a role very much after the style of Don Caesar, or, in other words, role very well suited to the inimitabe grace and dash of Bellows personality and methods It will therefore, be with peculiar delight that our best theater-goers will turn out to see Mir. Bellew enact Stanley Weymans redoubtable hero Seats now on sale. Prices s1.50 s1, 75 cents and 50 cents.
 John Kellerd, the star of the new play "Tatterley" which comes to the Fly perion Thursday of next week, made his first great success in The Heart of Maryland" during its phenomenal run in New York, when he was credited with doing the best work In the play, l with the exception of Mrs. Carter. MT. Kellerd will play most difficult role, l in which the niceties of his art are brought into full play, "Tatterley" is full of expressing interest, and is on the order of "The Middleman" in style | of construction. His new play is splen- didly adapted to his genius.
