TO SUE ESTATE FOR s1 ,ooo.

Lawyer Jason P. Thomson appeared before Judge Cleaveland in the probate court yesterday morning and Iroved for
 an increased bond for Mrs. Altheo B. Cable as administratrix of the estate of her husband. MT. Thomson stated to the court that he had 8 claim against the estate for $1,000, and that he should
 bring an action in the superior court to recover that amount. MT. Thomson's claim grows out of the settlement of the Lura Bailey es- tate, in which Judge Cable participat- ed. MT. Thomson was appointed as a committee to hear the evidence in the case against the estate of Judge Foota, of Branford, who heard the application of MT. Thomson for payment of his claim for services, disallowed it against the estate and declared that it was a claim against Judge Cable personally. According to MT. Thomson's deelara- ton, MT. Thomson stated in court that
 Judge Cable included that sum in his
 account in the Lura Bailey estate, but
 that the judge had neglected to pay
 him.
 Judge Cleaveland stated that if there
 was to be a contest over the matter he
 should decline to act, but that he would
 send a suggestion to Mrs. Cable to the
 effect that she should file a larger
 bond.

cHARLEs eIFTs TO sADIE.

Down in the back woods of New Brunswick, where hard work is pler1ti- full and money very scarce, the course of true love is often as rough as a cor duroy road. This has recently been we'll Illustrated at Sheffield, where Charles McBeath adopted q most un- gallant course toward Sadie Jordan, be- cause after he had courted her for ever so long and showered her with gifts, she changed her mind and told him that she had no totion'' of marrying him. Charles was willing to charge up his time to profit and loss, but the memory of the presents was bitter to him, and so he brought suit against Sadie's fath- CT. she being under age, to recover the value of the presents. The case was tried before Squire William Harrison, and was heard by the entire population of Sheffield village.
 Charles sued to recover on the ground that Sadie had broken her promise to marry him. on the strength of which al- legged promise and for no other conside- ration the presents had been given. The lover put in the following bill for things wasted on Sadie Jordan:
 One red dress, S1.99; one blue dress, $40; one cape, 70 cents; one pair over shoes, $1.S5; another pair overshoes, $1.10; two pairs rubbers at 60 cents, S1.20; one nigth dress, $1; one paid kid gloves, $1; and one set of pins, 25 cents; one engagement ring, 8; three photo- graphs, 75 cents; one handkerchief, 75 cents; one handkerchief, 10 cents; one collar button, 5 cents; one purse, 20 cents; four cards, 10 cents; three bot ties perfume, 50 cents; cash at different times, $6.S5; total, $24.24. There was a credit item of one pair black gloves, 30 cents, leaving a balance due of $23.9O.
 The jury gave a. verdict for plaintiff, allowing the full bill, with costs and McBeath was for a few minutes jubi- lant. AS he was about to leave the court room, however, he was arrested by Constable Warren Day, on war rant sworn out by Miss Jordan. charg- ing him with assault, and was remand ed to await trial.--Bangor Dispatch to the kennebec Journal.

RESULT OF WRECK AT SEA.

Suicide of Alonzo W. Balch, a Former 1 Hartford Business Man.
 1 Alonzo W. Balch, whose death by his own hand occurred Monday evening, at his residence, No. 246 West One Hun dred and Fourth street, New York, was a native of Hartford, and began his successful business career in that city.
 The Hartford Times says: He was about sixty years old, and will be re- membered by many with whom he had social and business relations. He was a traveller of much experience, and once accompanied the late Charles Dudley Warner on tour of Egypt, which in- cluded a trip far up the Nile. He was also an intimate friend of the Hon. William Waldo Hyde.
 Mir. Baleh was educated in the public schools of this city and was also grad uate of the high school. He began his ] business life in small. grocery in 1 Wethersfield, and grew to be one of New York's most prominent importers of teas, coffees and wines. In Hartford l he was associated for time with the late David Clark, and later was part her of Lester Clark. He had been in business in New York, in which city he amassed big fortune, many years ago.
 A. F. Kummel, of this city, is broth er-in-law of the deceased. Mrs. Kum- mel, who died short time ago, having been a sister of MT. Balch. Mrs. En- gene H. Williams of this city, is sis ter and Alfred P. Baleh, of Winsted, is brother of the deceased.
 The funeral will be attended. at the late, home in New York Wednesday forenoon at eleven o'clock.
 To-day's World gives the following account of the suicide:
 | "Alonzo W. Balch shot and killed himself yesterday afternoon at his home. No. 246 West One Hundred and Fourth street. As partner of George Lowerre he made large fortune in the | tea and coffee business and retired from trade five years ago.
 l Starting early in 19000 he spent year travelling through Europe and Asia. In crossing the China Sea the vessel on which he traveled encountered fear full storm and went down. MT. Balch, with other survivors, escaped in life boat to bare rock, where they fingered many hours without food or water and utterly despairing Of rescue. After they had been driven almost insane by their sufferings a cattle ship took them off. l "The terrible experience wrecked Mir Balch's health. Two and half years ago his wife died and six months later his only child, a son, followed her.
 For nearly two years Miss Mary R. Thorne, a trained nurse, has been in at tendance upon him. At half-past three yesterday afternoon he sent her out on an errand. Almost at the same moment Mrs. Charles Hall, his niece, came in to see her aunt, Miss Eva Rofr, who. lives /, in Mir. Balch's home. Mir. Balch greet ed his niece pleasantly, went to his bed- room and locked the door. Five min utes later Mrs. Hall and Miss Rohr heard two reports, and then groans. They went through a rear room to MT. Balch's room and found him lying on a couch bleeding from a wound in the body. Dr. James F. Bingham, of No. 2t6 West One Hundred and Third street, was summoned, but MT. Balch died in | about an hour and a half.''

A USEFUL KIND OF NIT

The candIenut, which is so far unfa- niliar to England, is native of the Pacific Islands, and the name is derived from the fact that the kernels are so full of oil that when dried they are
 stuck on reeds and used as candles.
 The people of Hawaii, after having
 roasted these nuts and removed the
 shells, reduce the kernels to a paste,
 which is favored with pepper and salt, and is said to be most appetizing dish. The husk of the nut and the gum
 which exudes from the tree have medi-
 cinai values, while the burned shell of the kukui is used to make an indelible ink, with which tattooing is done.-St
 James Gazette.

CHESHIRE GAR BARNS BURNED.
Caught From Live Wire--Loss About
 S5,0o0.

5000.
 At an early hour yesterday morning the car barn of the Connecticut Light ing & Power company was totally de- stroyed by fire, together with one of the fine new cars which has been in use on that line since it's opening some months ago. A snow blow belonging to the company was also burned and these with some other minor articles and the barn entail loss of about s5,- 000. Same is fully covered by insur- ance. ...
 It is thuoght that the fire originated from a live wire which in some unac- acountable manner came in contact with the woodwork and burned for some time before being discovered by one of the motormen, Samuel Freedman, who came to the barn to take his car for his first run, which leaves the barn at 6:15. Freedman sounded an alarm and the village fire department came to the scene, but the fire had gained such headway that all attempts at saving the barn and contents were useless. The firemen then turned their attention to some of the adjoining building, princi- pal among which was the Commercial house. y.
 The officials of the company at Bridgeport were immediately notified of the fire and sent another car to take the place of the one which had been destroyed. This car reached the Mt. Carmel end of the line about 10 o'clock and traffic was resumed.
 Another car will be sent from Bridge port to-day as there is need of more carrying capacity during the rush of the holidays.
