SETTLED CASE WITH
 THE TROLLEY co

The superior court, took rest this forenoon, there being no business ready. It was expected the case of Antonio Suna against the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co for $1,800 would be tried, but at the last moment it was announced the case was settled. The plaintiff is a boy of five years Of age. One day he was running across East Main street, near the Church of the Immaculate Conception It. seemed to be race between the boy and q trolley car as to which of them should pass certain point on the troll ley tracks first. The little fellow had jus. got outside the tracks when the car hit him and threw him aside He was hurt, but his worst wound was near the left eye. The muscles con tracted, turning the eye inward. Other wise the boy is as sound as before the aecident.f The terms of settlement were not announced, but they were agreeable to both sides.

CASE HEARD YESTERDAY.
T. ". Fitzmaur.cs Wants Money for
 Shoes Sold to Hrs. Buck.

In the supreme court at Bridgeport yesterday the case of Thomas W, Fftzmaurice against Roswell Buck, drummer for the Interpatianol Silver Co, living at IT Prospect street was heard. Attorney Russell appeared for MT Ftzmaurices Attorney O'Neill for Mrs Buck, and Attorneys Root and Guilfoile for Mr Buck. The case is very important one, and is practical ly new in the courts of this state. Some years ago, or about year or so before the Bucks parted, MT Buck nos tified several store keepers in the city that he would not Lc responsible for his wife's debts or bills that she might contract, because he had placed her upon a monthly allowance with which he expected she would pay her own bills.
 Mir Fitzmaurice, it is claimed, was one of those whom he so notified. Nevertheless MT Fitzinaurice gave credit to Mrs Buck and it is for the amount of that credit he is now suing.
 MT Bucks counsel holds that his cli- ent was no longer responsible for Mrs Bucks bills after he had notified her tIadespeople.
 A jury ill the district court decided In favor of Mir Buck and against Mrs Buck from that verdict, both Mrs Buck and Mir Fitzmaurice appealed to the supreme court, Mir Fitzmaurice desiring a Judgment against MT Buck for the simple reason that Mrs Buck is not able to pay. There is an old statute which says that no matter if a husband warns storekeepers against his wife, he is nevertheless responsible for her Hebts, provided the goods she purchased were used in the family, but recent operation of the legisIa- ture makes both the husband and the wife responsible on the same grounds.
 The. Bucks were divorced aboutEa year ago. Quite a number of other claims are resting upon the decision in this case, which, in the opinion of at torneys, is one of the most important to the public that has been heard in great many years. It. is practically new case in this state.

All EllSs were very much pleased last night at the almost overwhelming ovation given by the public to their fair and carnival. It showed an ap- preciation of the weeks of effort put forth by the committee and the very large preliminary expense incurred by the lodge. Over 1,500 paid admissions were registered at Il o'clock and the scene from the opening to the close was one of genuine pleasure. In addition to the already brilliant lighting effects, Chairman Reidy has provided six big arc lights which heighten the previous beautiful effect.

Port Simpson, q distance OF 1925 miles and the
Canadian government has agreed to construct pOr-
ton Of the road and guarantee che bonds t. be ssned
for the remaining portion. The total cost will be
not less than S125, ,OOO OOO and the undertaking out
ranks IN Importance any single railway project in
history with the possible exception Of the Trans
Siberian Railway.
The Chicago Record Herald saws OF this projected
road that besides having the shortest route from
Liverpool, from the large centers Of Canada, from
New YOrkand the manufacturing eenters Of the East
and practically equal route from Chicago and the
middle West, to the Orient, the company will have
the lowest grade mountain line the continent and
over 1900 miles Of continuous ailWay, with steam
ship connections, over which rates can be m ade TO
every part OF the world without consultation with
friendly or uniriendIy connections The New En-
gland States are reached by the Central Vermont Of
the Grand Trunk system and the gateways Of Chicago
Detroit and Port Huron by the Grand Trunk West
ern, both roads making short connection with the
proposed trans continental railway. For example,
from New York to Yokohama, by way OF Montreal
and the new line, will be Alb miles shorter than by
the Canadian Pacific, 655 shorter than by Chicago
and San Francisco and 1900 miles shorter than bv
Galveston and San Francisco. From Liverpool to
Yokohama, by way Of Quebec and the new route,
will be $40 miles shorter than by the Canadian
Pacific, 1913 miles shorter than by New York aud
San Francisco, and 130 miles shorter than by Mos
COW and the Trans Siberian Railway. From Chicago
and Milwaukee to Yokohama, By the Grand Trunk
will be $50 miles shorter than by the short route by
st. Paul and the Canadian Pacific, bat shorter in
time, and will be 365 miles shorter than by st. Paul
and Winnipeg
An idea Of the part this line will play in Oriental
trade is gathered from the statement that the Cana
dian exports increased from e4S3 or in 1890 to
s211, ,64O,2 2S6 in 1902, while from the United States
the increase was from s151 100 900 to e433 $50 O00
Along the lines Of the Grand Trunk system are ocat
ed iOTty.fve cities and towns Of more than 4 600
population each and aggregatng 1,OOO 94O which is
1877 per cent Of Canada's population. From these
towns The bulk Of manufactured articles are now
shipped to the northwest and exported
One Of the most important facts in connection with

OOO 900 acres Of fertile and unOccupied land in North

cit might not be fair to recall instances where
