PLUM FOR ". L. HALL.
Governor Elect Roberts Appoints
 Him on His Staff.

Former Senator Warren l.. Hall has been appointed an aide-de-camp upon the military staff of Governor-elecr Henry Roberts with the rank of major.
 Major Hall is one of the best known republican politicians in the state and his recent appointment comes as re- ward for his persevering political work. He has had military experience, hay. ing served five years in the Connects cut National Guard, 1S76-1SS1. He was member of the lower branch of the general assembly from Waterbury during the sessions of 1895 and 1897, and represented the old fifth district in the senate of 1899. He was also president of the Waterbury board of aldermen for six years and served sev. eral terms as member of the republi- can state central committee. He was a conspicuous figure in the legislative session of '97, when as chairman of the committee on roads, rivers and bridges he saved the good roads commission. then an unpopular institution, from being legislated out of existence. He was later made the New Haven county member of the commission, which af- terward became an important feature of the state government.

EILEEN OCE." Everything in Readiness for the Above Production Thanksgiving.

t A 4
 X very successful rehearsal was held yesterday afternoon ill City hall of the drama Eileen Oge," Which is to be presented in City hall on Thanksgiving afternoon and evening. The tickets are selling rapidly and it is believed that the hall will be filled at both the productions. The drama will be staged as no Irish play was ever staged before by amateurs. Nothing will be left un- done to bring out every little detail
 There, will be singing and dancing in connection with the play proper ana one scene alone will be worth your at- tention and your presence. A regular hay making scene will take place on the stage and in tile midst of the rak- ing up of the hay q regular Irish bag piper will be introduced, and then win follow some of the old fashioned reels and jigs. There is one young lady who will take part in the dancing who will open the eyes of those present. Tn rehearsal yesterday afternoon she simply took those present by storm, and she will set the audience wild on Thanksgiving day. There will be other features and you will say after the production is over that it was the best Irish drama ever presented in this city. The matinee prices are 10 and 20 cents and the evening Charges 25 cents for a rush seat and B for re, served seats. It will be good way to spend Thanksgiving and no doubt all the women and children will be on hand in the afternoon for the matinee.

FAMILY DEPORTED.
James Costello Had Prepared Home
 for Wife and Children.

Thanksgiving will not bring much joy to James Costello of the west end, an employe of the Waterbury Brass Go. whose wife and three children were deported to Ireland from New York last week. NIr Costello came to this country thirteen months ago and by making the best possible use of his time he was able to bring his family here this fall, \and in addition to pay ing their passage had arrangements completed to furnish q pleasant home and occupy it during the present week He kept q sharp lookout for the sea- faring news since his wife and chil- dren left the other side and expected to hear from them every other day. Last week he received communica- tion from the authorities at Ellis Is land requesting him to call and see his family before their deportation. Nlr Costello hurried to New York, wonder ing on the way what this could mean and hoping that there was some mis- take about it, but i'll this he was disap- pointed. for when he reached there he was told that his wife was suffering from lung trouble and would not be aI- lowed to land, and that the woman and the three children would have to re- turn to the country whence they came. MT Costello returned to Waterbury and sought the intervention of Super- intendent Doran of the town poor, who assured the authorities that the wo- mans husband was well able to main- tain the newcomers, but this availed naught and at the present time MT Costello is at his post in the factory while his wife and three children are en route to the old home, which they left in the early part of the month, full of hope for better things in the future

 -The members of the Brooklyn Ath- letic club met yesterday and completed arrangements for their fifteenth an nual dance, which they will give in Eagles hall on Thanksgiving night. The committee in charge have done everything possible to make the affnir success and there is no doubt but that they will have packed house on Thursday evening.
 St Thomas Cadets football team were handled pretty roughly yesterday in their game with the Acorns at Riv- erside park, and as result to-day couple of them are nursing sore and battered faces. Among those who were injured Is Walter Leggie, who had his lip split The Cadets were out to play clean game, and no fault could be found with their team. They played a clean game and outclassed their oppon- ents in every way. There is some talk of a game being pulled off here on Thanksgiving day for $50 side, and if the teams ever come together again 1t will undoubtedly prove to be very interesting game.

DEFRAUDED GOVERNMENT
Cases will Be Called in the Federal
 Court To-Day.

Portland, Ore, Nov 21.-The case of the United States aga1nsr $. A. D. Pu- ter, Horace G. Mckinley, Marie l.. Ware, Emma L. Watson, Frank H. Walgamot and D. W. Tafpley, charged with defrauding the government of r. quarter sections of land in township II south, range east, being land in the Cascade mountains. will be called for trial in the federal court to-day. Tn ad- dition to this, Marie Ware and Horace G. Mckinley will answer to the charges of having forged false and lie titious names to entries.
 For the last year the alleged gigantic swindle has been in the mind of nearly everyone in the state and for this rea- son the task of collecting jury will be hard one. It is thought that but few men capable of serving will be found who have not read or discussed the merits of the case. It is possible that several days may elapse before the case comes to trial and the first witness is heard.
 Congressman Binger Hermann. who at the time of the alleged conspiracy was commissioners of the land office, has been subpoenaed by the prosecu. ton as we'll as others not so high In an thority.

CONCERNING LAND.
The Plars Hill Case Brought Before
 Judge Gager To-Day.

The motion for the appointment Of committee to condemn certain land at Platt's Mills, the property of Charles M. Upson, was heard by Judge Gager in the superior court at New Haven to-day. This is an issue in the suit Of the Platt's Mills Co against the city for $50O,0O0 damages for injury to the plaintiffs property because ofNthe Naugatuck river being used as sew age outlet by the city. The city de. sires the land to build filtration beds on 1t, and 1t is also said, the Consoll, dated Railroad Co desires 1t for dou- ble tracking it's road and other i'm, provements it has in view By n spe. cial amendment to its charter the city is now enabled to condemn land i'll the interests of public policy. This is the nrst time 1t has ever undertaken to do so. It has several times attempted to have a committee appointed by the sl- perinr court to appraise land in the vi- cinity mentioned so that il could pur- chase the land and thus remove cause for complaint among those who. claim to be damaged by the present system of sewage disposal, but every effort was defeated. Opposing counsel at first claimed the city had no power to condemn land. Thereupon the legisla- ture allowed q special amendment to the charter giving the power desired, and then the other side held the amendment was unconstitutional The city was on that point.
 If the motion before Judge Gager to- day is granted, 1t will be the first suc- cessful step toward removing the al- legged cause for complaint all along the Naugatuck river as far as Naugatuck, provided filtration beds are found sue cessful, and this is very doubtful. for ill other places they have been crowned with costly failure.
 Other property involved in this mat ter adjoins the Upson land and Is part of the estate of the late MT Hayden, and some belongs to people named Bancroft living in New York.

The letter follows.

I am to die early Thursday morning, November IT, and am going to my dear mother who died and went to. heaven when I was little boy about IA years old and who had always tried to guard me against sin.
 T am very interested in the 37th, 51st, and 57th Psalms and I am great ly desirous of having all my young friends and associates accept Christ. The mistake I made was in not find- ing Him before. used to go to pool rooms n great deal. For Gods sake, tell them,g MT Crooke, to keep away from pool rooms. They will ruin them as they have ruined me. used to go to church, but I paid no attention to the sermons.
 II hope you will all go and listen to what is said. Now I know for myself that I am sinner saved by grace. Good by all, friends, well wishers and others. God bless Rev Crooke for the way he has comforted me. hope to meet you all in heaven.
