COUNTING TIE
IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Asked Leave to Amend in Case of Bol-
 ger and Hayes vs Railroad.

The cases of Bolger and Hayes yer
 sus the Consolidated Railroad Go. for $2,000 damages took an unexpected turn early in the proceedings to-day. One of the witnesses for the defense testified that the train which ran into the ice wagon and caused the damage lcomplained of, was twenty minutes late and was running at the rate of twenty miles an hour. This was a feature that was not included in the iinformation and counsel for the plaintiff asked leave to amend. The request was granted and thirty days
 were allowed for the defendant to file his answer. This disposed of the ]. business of the term. The case of Madden versus McNIahon went over, owing to the illness of one of the par l ties involved. the case of Mary Ryan versus the city has been settled, and l the appeal of the mayor and the board lof aldermen from the decision of the Irailroad commissioners, the Oakville
 bridge case. as it is known, has also gone over. there being a prospect of settling it outside court
 The divorce petition of Annie ID. Smith versus Herman K. Smith, both lof Naugatuck, was heard. Attorney
 Kennedy represented the plaintiff; de- l fendant was not represented. Intol- erable cruelty was the ground of the Iaction The evidence was furnished by the plaintiff, her parents. Mary land William l.. Richards, and Noble l C.. Austin, all of Naugatuck. Three times the defendant deserted his wife. He frequently struck her in the face land various other parts of the body. He seemed to have an ungovernable temper. Plaintiff always maintained herself and also often paid her hus- bands board. She was employed in the woolen mill in Naugatuck. Once she was treated so severely, her fath- CT called upon her husband and gave him q licking. Noble c. Austin. who boarded at her sisters house often saw plaintiff with the marks of her
 husbands violence on her face. The petition was granted and plaintiff giv-
 en her maiden name.
 The court appointed Attorney F. L.
 Seery a commissioner of the superior court.
 State Referee Loomis. who yester-
 day was appointed auditor in the case Iof Partree versus Atwood, has found he could not attend to the matter un- til June, and this morning Attorney T. F. Kellogg was appointed in his stead Court adjourned without date.
 Judgment was given the defendants in the suit of Walter T.. Frisbie versus
 Perry C. Morris ct al to recover Their
 costs. The court held that inasmuch
 as the plaintiff did not appeal from the probate courts decision in appoint ing conservator over him he, was
 not entitled to iudgment now. There
 is nothing left him to do now but ap-
 peal to the superior court of errors.

SCARE. IN EAST END
Over the Rumor of Diphtheria Epi,
 dernic Out That Way.

demic Out That Way.
 The residents of the eastern section of the city, especially those of Wol- colt street, are scared lest there may be an epidemic of diphtheria in that section. The cause of their scare may be gained from the following story: About two weeks since little daughter of MT and Mrs Oyrin J. Beers of 266 Wolcott street, became i'll. Dr Lodge, so it is said, was sum moned and pronounced it case of severe cold. The childs condition grew worse and in the absence of pr Lodge. who was away, Dr Thurber, whose office is in the eastern section, of the city. was called in and he pro- nounced the illness a case of some kind of tonsilitis. The child grew worse and died about a week ago. A day or two after the child's death an- other member of the family, Nettie Beers, a student at the High school became i'll, and Dr Lodge, who. was summoned, pronounced it case Of diphtheria. Now it is claimed that the girl who is now sick contracted the disease from the child that died, dllu LIldG IL Ou6 lldu ulpILllGIid LhC other did. The doctors disagree up on this point. Each claims that his diagnosis of the case. While the first child was sick the house was not posted and the other children were going to school To say that the peo- pie are scared is speaking mildly. One of the teachers reported the case to Health Officer Kilmartin. When the latter was asked in regard to the mat ter to-day, he said that it would be i'm possible now to tell whether the child had diphtheria or not without exhum- ing the body and conducting an exam ination. "Of course the neighbors nat urally believe that the first case was diphtheria, since the child now i'll has that disease. Naturally they would feel little alarm. The first I knew of the matter was when it was reported to me by teacher at the Hendricken school. Dr Thurber is positive that the child was not lil with diphtheria."

CONSTABLE VOTE
Some Surprises at the Contest
 ed Election Case To-Day.
DoNAHUE's 5 VOTE DROPPED OFF
And Constable Lannon Had Fifteen More Than He Was Allowed Col lector Thoms on the Witness Stand To-Day Explained in Detail the Rules of the Democratic Party.

Rules of the Democratic Party.
 The Donahue versus Perkins ct al election case was resumed this morn ing before Judge Gager of the superior court in the district court room. All the ballots were counted before . o'clock yesterday afternoon and the result was rather startling to c0un- sel for Donahue. h the election count Donahue and Walter B. Lannou were even, that is disallowing the Flanagan ballots, and Donahue being the last constable on the ticket he was declared not elected, which course followed out rule of his party.
 The recount gives Lannon fifteen more than he was allowed by the cleo tion moderator, while it takes eighteen away from Donahue This is the fig uring of Attorney Root, counsel fos Donahue.
 Evidence was taken this morning.
 It was 11:3O o'clock this morning when court opened and Tax Collector Thoms was put on the stand immedf' ately. He testified that the rulea which governed the local democratic party were adopted in 1897 and since' that time until the nomination of John H. Flanagan for registrar by the town convention, all registrars of the party were nominated under those rules. All conventions, committees and gather ings of the party were controlled by the rules. Tn 1900 slight change was made, the open ballot was ad3pt- ed instead of the secret ballot in nom- mating the registrar by the convention of office holders. This was the only change made. But several attempts were made to change or revise the rules. As to the convention which nominated Flanagan, witness did not know if there was any order in that call for a convention that called for action on the rules. All that he could remember was that it provided merely for the nomination of the regular cam didates. The rules, however, so f;tf as he knew were not submitted to tine democratic party. This was the srlb- stance of his testimony, whereupon the case was closed.
 Instead of making arguments coun- sel will file briefs not later than next | Tuesday and answers to each shall he made to each other not later than the following Friday, whereupon the arga-s ments will be filed with the court i'm writing.
 The question to be passed upon is the legality of the Flanagan ballots and the Hynes ballots.
 Yesterday. in following out the ad' vice of his counsel, Flanagan demand ed of Hynes the books of the office of registrar of voters, and the demand was refused. Hynes said he had no books that the party owns. He has his own private list of voters, prepared at his own expense, etc. and these he will not give up. This is merely a mat. ter of form, for there will be nothing | doing in the office of registrar for aD- other month or two.
