MOTION To
REARGUE
IS DENIED

The attorney for the plaintiff In the
case Of Earl r. Bigney against DR.. ]. Le-
roy Fisher was not satisfied with the de-
csion OF the appellate court setting
aside verdict OF s2S75 and wanted anoth-
er chance TO argue the case. but the ap-
pellate court in a rescript handed down
today says
THE plaintiff has filed a motion for a
'rehearing i'm the case on the ground
that the court evidently did not consider
the fact that according TO the testimony
the defendant did not know where the
injury was. In replying 10 this criticism
we have 10 say that we not only care
fully consider the testimony referred 20
but expressly commented upon IL In the
opinion handed down. And we now see no
reason for changing our opinion as TO the
weight OF testimony upon that branch Of
the case. or upon the case az whole.
"The motion for 'rehearing' which we
will treat as "a motion for reargument-
which we presume IL was intended to be-
is denied and dismissed"

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IN
STATE Of CONNECTICUT

New Haven, Conn, Oct 3-Elections
are being held in 1874 towns and three
cities In Connecticut today. and as the
weather is delightful. the vote probably
will be as heavy as usual for those ad-
ministrative officers who are up for an
nual election. In number of towns the
voters are also asked 10 record their
preference on the question OF granting
licenses for the sale OF intoxicating
liquors during the next year.
In the state at large there is less po-
litical interest in the elections than usual
due In a measure TO the absence OF fac
tional rivalry. This year there is an
entire lack OF political activity in the
towns The cities, which are holding an
election for municipal offices, the voters
also selecting town officers. are New
London, Norwalk and South Norwalk.
