 Judge Piatt--City Court Notes.
 The case of Miss Smaller against the Rev. Charles Seymour continued all day yesterday before Judge Bishop. When the case was opened the plaintiff. on the defence's permission, called Henry w. Voorhees in rebuttal. He was call- ed to rebut testimony as to the distance that a person could see from the switch point, schoolhouse and switchlight in Stratford.
 MT. Van Voorhees, stated that he was unable Thursday night to identify po- pl h had known for fiften years when they were within twenty-five feet of him. He was unable to see people at some distance away to either Identify them or tell whether or not they were engaged in conversation.
 The cross-examination of Mrs Bul-t lock was then continued. She said she had no memorandum of the dates she had mentioned, but they had come on regular dates, and she did her best to as fg al though Miss Smaller called very often and became very confidential, she only tended the baby twice, and the confi- dence was not returned. Witness also said that during January Miss Smaller gradually absented herself from church and the church work during January, and that she (Mrs. Bullock) called on her the latter part of the month to in duire about 1t. Witness said that Miss Shailer's family talked for her, and that she thought it was because of Miss Shailer's health and because she had been laughed at. Miss Smaller also, she said. called at the Bullock house less often. Mrs. Bullock said she only heard one comment on Miss Shailer's absence from church, and that she went to Miss Shailer's of her own accord to ask her to return. As to the broken stone which she found and returned to Miss Smaller witness attached no significance to 1t.
 Mr. Bullock said Dr. Clapp called of ten and when the baby was born, but would accept no pay from her. She said MT. Bullock was arrested after church, and that she had no knowledge of his meetings with pr. Clapp and Mir. Preece.
 MT. Goodhart then took up the re- direct examination. After repeating former testimony, Mrs. Bullock said that the two times Miss Smaller tended the baby were an afternoon and during q church reception in the evening, Mrs. Bullock being away from 7:45 to Il o'clock Witness then told in regard to ; Miss Smaller leaving the church about the Preece children leaving the church an dthat she thought that one cause. After giving some uninportant testi- rrlony about MT. Bullock's drawing in- struments Mrs. Bullock was excused.
 Tn the afternoon Mrs. Curtiss was re- called to the stand. She said that in March she had asked Miss Smaller to take part in an entertainment, but she refused. Witness thought it strange that Miss Smaller said her health was such that she could not attend church, yet she went to the gymnasium. Wit ness was then excused.
 The defense called William c. More house of Stratford, a witness of the 'surrebuttal," called at this time to ac- commodate him. He is civil enginer and Thursday night was employed to make measurements over the site of the place in Stratford where the "long-site" feat in the night time was accomplish ed. The plan offered by the defense at this time indicated the "electric light" and signal box and the switch joint.
 Mir. Bullock was next called to the stand. and was there when court ad- journed. His testimony will be taken up at 10 o'clock this morning.
 ARGUMENTS ON WINTER LICENSE
 Despite the practical withdrawal of his opposition by Rev. .Anson Phelps Stokes, jr., as one of the leading direc- tors of the Edwin Bancroft Foote Boys club, determined remonstrance was yes- terday entered by that organization to the granting of a liquor license to Phil- ip Winter a tthe Traeger's cafe, 964 Chapel street, during a hearing on the application held by the county commits sioners.
 Represented by Attorney J. B. Ullman MT. Winter explained that the side door against which was the chief objection, had been closed. MT. Smith, for the boys club. voiced this objection, but confessed that the door had been closed, though he claimed it had been opened often. He acknowledged, however, re- ceiving a letter from Rev. A. P. Stokes, jr., saying the case might be dropped, as the side door had been closed.
 Letters from President Hadley and others announcing the withdrawal of their opposition on condition that the side door remained closed were then NNrasa,9fa5 shtr N41@ TIlly1aot1 ,Nrooaad;y, o.c
