MISS GALLAGHER's HARP.
Attorney Susan O'Neill Asks Adams
 Express Go for Damages.

Express Go for Damages.
 The civil side of the superior court, where Judge Silas A. Robinson is pre- siding over the jury trials, was the scene of considerable interest to-day, says the New Haven Register. The case of Miss Louise M. Gallagher, the we'll known music teacher and harpist against the Adams Express Go for damages to harp, was put on trial, and Miss O'Neill, the woman lawyer of Waterbury, where she is one of the law firm of O'Neill. O'Neill & O'Neill, appeared for the plaintiff The suit is for $1,OOO damages, and the inter- ests of the defendant company were being looked after by Judge Zacher
 A large number of the lawyers of the city were in the court room to watch with interest the proceedings Miss O'Neill, unterrified by the stares and whispered comments, quietly read the pleadings, which were followed by Judge Zacher's presentation of his side of the case. Then, since it ap- peared that it would require all day for the trial, Judge Robinson excused all the jurymen not on the panel for this particular action until tomorrow
 Iu her pleading Miss O'NeilI stated that the harp was worth S1,Ooo. and that while it, on December IT, 1900, was being shipped from New Haven to Middletown in the temporary cus- tody of the defendant company. it was broken and rendered useless. The cost of repairing the instrument which was exhibited in court, was, it is claimed, $1OO. and the loss of it's use during a period of six weeks after December IF, 1900. caused further financial loss. The plaintiff c'ainls that the company is responsible in the amount of $1.0OO.
 The answer of Mir Zacher was a de nial of the claim that the value of the harp is f1.000, and partial denial o1 other a22gations. The case is stiI on.

Fire In Eaton's Grlst Mil and
Grain Elevator Does Damage
Of U,wrds Of $4,000.

A fre Of considerable magnitude visited
Westerly last night, being discovered at
about 10 o'clock and burning fiercely until
after midnight. when the flames were
we'll under control
When discovered the fire had obtained
a strong headway, and being located In
a thickly settled portion OF the town
there was grave danger OF considerable
damage being done.
The burned buildings consisted OF the
grist mill and grain elevator OF John b.
Eaton. The alarm brought out the fire
department OF Westerly and Pawcatuck,
both departments using all their avail
able apparatus. Ii was a difficult fire TO
handle owing TO the fact that the elevator
was located on the river front with
large two-story barn within four feet OF
the mill. Moreover, the covering OF the
elevator was OF sheet iron, so that IL
was almost impossible TO get at the blaze.
which at the beginning was confined
mostly TO this part OF the establishment.
Six lines OF hose were laid on the Rhode
Island side OF the river. On the Connec-
ticut side two streams were used, the
firemen partially crossing the river on
some barges which were moored to the
docks on that side.
Last night at the time OF the fire the
elevator contained about l6,ooo con-
siderable part OF which had been put In
during the past few days. The mill also
contained the usual milestone, and other
apparatus of such n plant The building
and contents will probably be an entire
loss.
Fortunately there was almost no wind.
The elevator Is situated In thicky
settled part of the town and just 10 the
north OF II is the Solway Mil, which
would also probably have been destroyed
had there been much OF any breeze.
