 Miss Gertrude Britton and Miss Mat tie Murpny of Hartford were visiting friends in this city to-day.
 Judge Cowell of the district court went to New York to-day to attend the Methodist conference which has opened there.
 There is but one divorce petition on the list for trial in the superior court tomorrow. That is the case of An nie ys Michael Powers. Desertion and intemperance are alleged and the cus- tody of children is asked.
 At bar meeting in the district court Saturday another effort will be made to assign the Mattoon case for hear ing. It is said the criminal superior court in Winsted granted a stay of sentence On MT Mattoon in order to permit him to attend the civil case against him and his bondsmen.
 The case of Carnes against McEvoy, which has been before Judge Thayer and the jury in the superior court since Tuesday, will end late this after noon. All the evidence was in this forenoon and the plaintiffs counsel was haranguing the jury at press hour. Tomorrow the case of An tonic DeIabella. administrators. against the Holmes, Booth & Haydens Co will go on. The plaintiff had a relative who was killed while in the defend ants employ.

 Two interesting games of pool be- tween well known pool experts was played at the Wooster billiard parlors yesterday afternoon. The players were Wilson of Paterson, N. J., who is now residing ill this city, and Kid, Smith of Hartford. Wilson won the first game by the score of 100 to 62 and lost the second game by the score of 125 to 1O2. There was some brilliant pool shooting by both players. Another match between the two men for $1OO side will probably be arranged to be played at the Wooster billiard parlors in about two weeks.
 It is quite probable that the. opinion of City Attorney Kellogg relative to the Bowe-Healy case will show that MT Healy is entitled to q fair compen- sation for such service as he rendered as member of the board of relief, and 1 should be paid and that inasmuch as MT Bowe has. been declared the legally elected member of that body instead Of Mir Healy, he, too, will have to get the salary. An arrangement of this ] kind would Dc fair to Bowe and Hea1y but the taxpayers may not like ( l idea of paying two men for the same office, still there does not appear to by any other way out of 1t.
