POLICE COURT DOINGs.
Things Were Twisted Somewhat in the
 City Court To-day.

(lty SOuIG iO7uny.
 Joseph Stackoyitch was before Judge Burpee in the city court to-day, charged with beating his wife. But it turned out that the woman who was supposed to be his wife was not his wife. And then it developed that it was impossible to find out who she was. But from the testimony of the woman who was thought to have been the one that was beaten it developed she was a daughter of the 'said' wo- man, and that the woman was not the woman she was supposed to be, but a mother of the other woman, and that this latter woman was the daughter Of the first woman, who was a neighbor and heard glass breaking. Then she was not the woman who was assault ed, but was the woman who said she heard the assault. It was finally shown that the right woman was the wrong woman and the wrong woman was the other woman, and this woman thought she knew all about the case but it was only hearsay evidence, and she didn't, according to law, know q thing about it. Therefore her evidence was excluded. However, Thomas Reeves of Leonard street. whom Clerk AlcNIahon took to be a relative of the other woman, and could therefore not speak q word of English, told all about the case, and the accused was fined S5 and costs.

MIR SERGEANT HANDICAPPED.
Bill Reimbursing Him for Fine Illegal.
 ly Imposed.

Washington, March 13.-The senate to-day passed the bill to pay Joseph B. Sergeant of New Haven $5S3.67 to reimburse him for fine imposed over two years ago for an alleged att tempt at smuggling over the Mexican border, as the language of the bill in- troduced by Senator Platt and passed yesterday expresses it. The appro- priation amounts to the value of prop erty belonging to Mir Sergeant illegal ly seized, and for money improperly and unlawfully collected from him as alleged duties and penalties by United States officials at the port of Fl Paso, Texas ''
 Some two years ago MT and Mrs Sergeant, while travelling in Mexico, bought some pieces of Mexican drawn work to bring home for presents. The whole purchase amounted to less than $75. At Fl Paso the customs officers discovered the drawn work and at Laredo Mir Sergeant was arrested and charged with smuggling. MT Sar- geant was ill at the time and surren- dered the articles and continued his journey to Connecticut. The district attorney in Connecticut some time af- forwards brought action against him on a charge of attempt at smuggling. MT Sergeant was forced to pay a fine of $500. The action of the senate yesterday yindicates MT Sergeant to his complete satisfaction.

OIL IN FoREsTvILLE.
Town Excited Over Discovery of Sup-
 posed Well.

Bristol, March 13-Forestville is much worked up over what is sup posed to be the discovery of oil on the farm owned by F. Alexis Taylor on Stafford avenue. The discovery was made last Sunday when MT Tay- Tor noticed i'll front of the house some oil i'll the gutter. He thought at first that some had been spilled there the day before, but out of curiosity dug around the place After clearing away the snow and letting the accum- ulated water run away he was sur prised to see oil bubble up from the earth. He called his neighbor, Mills Barnard, and both were satisfied oil existed there. Yesterday Mir Taylor had l.. K. Seymour of Hartford visit Forestville. MT Seymour said there was oil coming out of the ground at the place mentioned. MT Taylor and MT Barnard dug q hole in the ground four feet deep and at the bottom saw the oil bubbling out. A quantity was taken out and exhibited in town yes terday afternoon. Those who know good from poor oil say it is q super 1T quality of Illuminating oil Yes terday MT Taylor and MT Barnard went to Hartford with samples of the oil and called at Henry Souther's, the chemist, but as he was not in they consulted with his assistant. MT Bar- hard said last night he saw no req son for an analysis, a anybody could see the oil coming out of the ground.
 w. $. Warner, who owns a neigh boring farm, said yesterday he had seen oil in the gutter in front of the Taylor property for a quarter of 8 century, but thought nothing of it. Mir Taylor has not yet decided what steps he will take should it prove to be big find, but he is considerably elated over the prospects.

"CoNSoLIDATED' STOCK.
Some Rumors and Plans That Are Af-
 fecting Prices.

fecting Prices.
 New York, New Haven & Hartford stock went up yesterday to 219. There are rumorS about of closer combin- ation with the Pennsylvania, but those best informed are not inclined to credit them, says the Hartford Cour- ant President Hall was interviewed yesterday on the subject and accord ing to report he '.admitted' that there had been some talk" about an ar- engagement as to a Long Island con- nection. The amusing part of this alleged admission is that it has all been ill print for months. There is a recognized and openly described plan for q direct rail connection between the two railroads by means of the pro- posed new bridge to Long Island and the new tunnel from there to New Jersey. There is no mystery about that. The fact is that the stock is very low compared with other per cent roads and probably that, with the large earnings, is the explanation Of the rise. But it is fact that an unusually large amount of stock has been taken up. Sales of any consider able quantity are seldom recorded.
