NEW HAVEN DEPENDANT.
Loses Law Case That Has Been Six Years in Court.

Years in Court. John Pister. yesterday obtained a judgment in the civil court of common pleas in Bridgeport against John Faul
 of New Havenrto recover $77.26 due for a bologna factory which MT. Pister constructed for MT. Faul, and which the latter declared had not been built according to plans and specifications. The judgment was handed down by Judge Howard J. Curtis before whom the case was tried last Tuesday and Wednesday.
 It took d long time to dispose of the case, for it has been in court now a matter of six years. The contract was performed by MT. Pister nearly seven years ago, and since that time he has been trying to collect final payment due on his bill.
 When MT. Pister completed the fac tory there was about $100 more due on it, so he claimed, and he attempted to collect it from MT Faul, who refused to pay. In March, 1897 suit was in- stituted, and it has been hanging along ever since, until the trial last week. There were thirteen interlocutory mo- tions made before the pleadings were finally closed.

DEAD STUDENTS FATHER

Will Arrive in New York To-Day
 Classmates to Take Action This
 Morning.
 New York, March 30.-Coroner Jack son to-day received a telegram from E. B. Esher, of Chicago, father of the dead student, stating that he would arrive here tomorrow (Tuesday) to claim the remains of his son.
 Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, secretary of Yale, yesterday morning announced at the exercises in Battell chapel the death of Bowman Esher, the sopho- more who committed suicide by shoot ing in the Hotel Manhattan, New York city, Sunday afternoon Most of the students did not know of Esher's death and the announcement was received with visible emotion on the part of many of the young mems classmates.
 No meeting of the young mans class was called yesterday to take action on his death, but meeting of the mem- bers of 1905 will be held this morning, when the class will pass appropriate resolutions of sympathy and condolence and will vote to wear a mourning badge for thirty days.
 Most of the intimate friends of the young man went to New York about midnight Sunday night on the receipt of telegram announcing his death. They included his roommate, Richard Monroe Fairbanks, Of Indianapolis, son of the Indiana United States senator who was perhaps Esher's closest friend; Stuyvesant Fish, jr., the oarsman; Charles s. Fallows, of Chicago, cham pion jumper; P. V. Davis, of Elizabeth, N. J., and Charles, Wright. jr., of De- troit
 A canvass of the classmates and friends of young Esher shows that they universally accept the theory of suicide because of the poor state of his health. They state that Esher had been de- pressed because of severe attacks of rheumatism incident to his fall from the fifth story of Pierson hall, one of the Yale dornitories, two years ago, leaving him partial cripple, and that he had been told that he had tuberculo- sis.

 Associated Press dispatch of last even-

 Yale and Oxford and Cambridge. The officials, without whose knowledge no international field meet taking in Har- yard could be arranged, said to-day that the first move toward arranging a meeting with the English colleges must come from abroad, because last year
 Harvard and Yale took the initiative. No such proposition, it was said, had been received.

NO BRICK PAVING.
At Least This Year Crushed Stone
 .f4 Ordered for Cedar Street

At Least This Year Crushed Stone Ordered for Cedar Street.
 The permanent paving commission held a meeting at Il o'clock yesterday in city hall With no greater appropri- ation for this year than s1,00O the city can do but little in the paving line dur- ing 1903.
 The commission. however. voted to order that Cedar street, from Portsea street to Lamberton street. be paved with crushed stone and Belgian block gutters.
 The commission calculates that s10,- 900 will be available from assessments laid against property owners for pave ments recently laid, and this fund will be used with the meagre appropriation for new pavements. The Cedar street improvement will, however, cost over $6,000. Thus small margin will be on hand for other work.

results. Certain it is that no musical with more laughter than punctuates the frequent good things in this play. The merriment is continuous, beginning within a minute or so of the rise of the curtain and continuing steadily without interruption until the close of the per formance. "A Warm Match will be presented at the Grand opera house Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, with matinee Saturday, with the original scenery and strongly augment ed cast. It has been the policy of the management ever since the original success two years ago to improve the production at every opportunity, and the methods employed have naturally resulted in growing favor that has lifted the piece to the very pinnacle of suc- cess. One secret of the great hit of "A Warm Match is its absolute free dom from anything that is objection able or offensive. IL combines a well told plot and striking situations, an att mosphere of cleanliness taht is refresh ing in these days of French farces with their vulgarity and suggestiveness. This seasons cast contains sj ch well known artists as Christopher Green, Hanley and Jarvis, Daniel Barrett, Valesca Clemons, Rose Goldie, Eva Hoy.
 The very enthusiastic reception ac- corded the first performance at the Grand opera house last night of the re- turned engagement of "The Fatal We'd ding attested most convincingiy it's un- disputed popularity. No melo-drama seen here in recent years has attracted such attention or depicted scenes and actions more true to nature than does "The Fatal Wedding
 It has played to enormous houses ev- anywhere, and doubtless has improved the moral and social conditions of the localities in which it has been present. ed. Many beautiful lessons are taught and presented in such strong dramatic situations and in language so forcible and eloquent that the auditors became wildly enthusiastic. The plot deals with the trials and troubles of a woman, Wronged and crushed, but who bravely battles against her misfortunes and fin- ally succeeds in fighting the wrongs done her. The guilty are punished, truth and right revealed and made su- preme. All ends happily and bright and the audience goes home with their minds full of food for careful and hon. est thought. A bright vein of comedy pervades the whole and relieves the tenser side. Scenic effects of life in New York, particularly Grace church, and snow storm on the Jersey pal isades are very fine.
 The company, headed by Madeline Clarke is & strong one, and there were repeated demonstrations of approval of their work.
 ''The Fatal Wedding" will be repeated tonight and Wednesday with usual matinee.

WENT ON STRIKE.

Fifty Iron Moulders of the o. B. North
 Foundry.
 Fifty iron moulders of the o. B. North foundry on Franklin street went out on strike yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, the point in dispute being practically recognition of the Iron Moulders' union. The moulders of that factory are not as well organized as those in other foun- dries, and O. B. North's is classes as a non-union shop. When the strike was called the non-union men went out with the union men.
 A committee of four Inoulders waited on the firm last Thursday and demand ed that heat-helpers be employed. This the firm refused, offering the men in re- turn five per cent. increase. The men refused this offer, adhering to their de- mand.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Hyperion Theater.

At the Hyperion last night that splen-
 did young ac:or, Robert Edeson, dem onstrated by his portrayal of the stel- lar role in Soldiers of Fortune that
 he is deserving of all the enconiums which have been bestowed upon him l by both press and public. The first per- formance of a two plight return engage ment of this excellent production great ly enthused a large audience and the previous reputation was fully sustained and many admirers added.
 Soldiers of Fortune" is a dramatiza- tion by Augustus Thomas of Richard
 Harding Davis book and it has, in his very competent hand, suffered none at all in its effectiveness and the play is
 a faithful reproduction of Mir. Davis superb story. The action is in South America.
 The company supporting MT. Edeson is we'll balanced. and especial mention
 must be made of Blanche Hall, as Hope
 Langham, typical American girl, HaE- ry Harwood as MacWilliams. Ira A. Hard as Captain Burke. E. W. Morri- son as President Alvarez, and Wallace Eddinger as Captain Stuart. MT. Ede-
 son made a most acceptable speech at the close of the second act.
 Soldiers of Fortune" will be repeat ed at the Hyperion tonight and is de-
 serving of a packed house.
