y Members of Board of Public WerSs
 Say the Films Must Go.
 Commissioners Mahaney and Ches- son of the board of public works and Superintendent Kelley of the street de- partment, the committee appointed to see what could be done towards saving the three beautiful elm trees in the sidewalk on Field street opposite the lot where the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Go has broken ground for a new office and power house, visited the premises to-day and were met there by Mrs Walter Hamlin Holmes, who owns the property directly north and objects to being separated from such old and desirable neigh bors as the elms. She made an earnest appeal in behalf of her silent friends. so much that the author of sSWoodman Spare That Tree couldn't beat it. But the stony hearted men who looked at the question from purely business stand point saw no way of complying with the good wonaan's request unless she would consent to move in her fence about three feet so as to make room for public travel without distur ping the trees One might think this was poser for Mrs Holmes. but it didn't prove to be anything of the kind. It didn't take her long to cast sentiment aside and leave the trees to the tender mercies of the heartless committee. who, without any aualms of conscience. decided to turr them over to have them hewn down

Patrick Dooley of Montreal Visits His
 Sister. Mrs John Tyrrell
 Mrs John Tyrrell of 3sO River street was treated to an agreeable surprise last night when her brother, Patrick Dooley, whom she had not seen in forty years, made call upon her. MT Dooley left Southington in 1863 and has since travelled over a good deal of the world. His sister made several unsuccessful attempts to locate him, but finally gave it up, though she never despaired of some day seeinghfm and having the extreme pleasure of talking over the time when the boys and girls were togeth- CT under the parental roof. Mrt Doc ley's residence is in Quebec but he is uperintendent of large paper mill in Holyoke and it was there that he learned that his sister was living in Waterbury. He had been making in quirieS relative to the residence of his sister, and although he met some Waterbury people none of them hap pened to know Mrs Iyrrell A short time ago, one of his sons, Dr Dooley, died in Manchester, this state, and while attending the funeral he met Father Murphy, former Waterbury priest, but he could not give him the information he desired. But he fi- nally got clue at Holyoke and lost no time in coming here to see what there was to it. When he arrived at the local station he had a short talk with Hackmah Henry Freeman and after getting the name and street num- Der it didn't take the hackman long to convey him to the house Mrs Tyr rell was overjoyed at the sight of the brother from whom she had been sep arated for so many years and it goes 1 without saying that the brother was similarly affected so that really it was | a meeting such as one seldom sees. | something like that mentioned in Moore's touching song entitled And Doth Not a Meeting Like This Make Amends For All the Long Years I've Been Absent From Thee" MT Doc. ley Is apparently in the enjoyment of l good health and found his sister fy
 ing in a very happy home with hrs- Dand and children who would make lire worth while living under any cir cumstances. He is a nephew of In. dertaker Martin Bergin of South Main street and has many other relatives
 ana acquaintances about town

NORWALK SUES STAMFORD.
Test Case to Determine Who Must

Test Case to Determine Who Must
 Pay Smallpox Bills.
 The papers in the suit of the town of Norwalk against the town of Stam- ford for damages amounting to ST. 272,95 were returned to the superior court yesterday. The suit grew out of the care of Mrs Almenia Merz and her daughter, Augusta, who were stricken with smallpox which was contracted in Stamford. They after wards went to Norwalk and were taken i'll. The case is of considerable importance for it will determine whether the town in which the dis ease originates or the one in which the person is taken sick is responsible for the expense of medical care and atten- ton.
 Should the town of Norwalk win. Stamford may bring suit against the city of New York to recover for the expenses of caring for George Francis Train, who contracted the disease in New York; also the city of Waterbury, from which place two cases were brought last fall. The case will be tried here at the October term of the court

DRILLED DIAMOND CASE.
Case Against Waterbury Wire
 Die Co On the Docket.

Government Has Seized Fifteen Dia-
 mond DrillsSays Company Should
 Pay Duty While Company Says
 Goods Are Not Dutiable.
 Tn the United States district court at New Haven yesterday case was en- tered on the docket against the Wa terbury Wire Die Go of this city for the condemnation of fifteen drilled dia- monds seized short time ago at the local postofiice and turned over to the custom house officials The goods were consigned to the Waterbury Die they were brought to this country con- trary to law, no duty being paid on them. The case promises to be of more than ordinary interest. The gov ernment takes the ground that the stock is subject to revenue tax while the company contends that it is of the kind commonly classed as bortz and is on the free list and therefore not sub ject to any importation tax. The ma terial is used for making dies for drawing fine wire and while many consider it new thing still it has been applied to that purpose for many years, but it seems the question as to duty never before came up. The stock is said to be rough and unfit for jewels, but the best in the world for wire dies. The Waterbury Wire Die Go occupies quarters in the same building with the Waterbury Machine Go and has been doing business five or six years. The O'Neills are counsel for the defendants.
