MONEY LAYING AROUND.
Enough to Build Sewer Can bs Had
 by Transfer.

It is expected that the democrats will vote for the special appropriation of $10,QOO for repairs on the North Willow street sewer next Monday, al- though some claim that they have not yet made up their minds. One of them said to-day that he didn't see any need of the money He believed 1t can ba had by transfers instead of using LID the license money which he wanted to go into the assets for next year. He said that none of the bills from this job will be payable until after the first of November and that after that date it can be raised by transferring the 5000 appropriated for a comfort station and the $5,OOO for a patrol wagon to the item of sewers, new work, and storm water drainage. He thought if the board makes a special appropriation of $10,O0O from unap- propriated revenues, these and other items that have been standing since last January will be transferred and used later on. He was satisfied that the work ought to be done and felt that the board left itself open to cens sure in not taking hold of 1t the first thing last spring, but he had notion that 1t would be much better to make transfers to meet the outlay than make another special appropriation of $10,~ 900. One of these he considered suf. fieient in the same year, too much. considering the size of the regular ap- propriations ordered last winter.

TANCLE CASE IN COURT
Waterbury Woman Interested in Set.
 clement of This Estate.

X Bristol, Oct 8.--Judge Roger s. Newell of the probate court rendered yesterday a decision in a case over the admission of a Wisconsin will as legal in the Bristol court. The ques- ton arose whether a will admitted to probate in Dodge county, Wisconsin, over which there has been serious ob- jestion raised, could be granted ancil- liary administration in Bristol. In 1900 Mrs Marie Kunzeman of Wiscon- sin, a sister of Theodore Shubert of this place, came here and after living here for a few weeks died. She left an estate of about$15, ,0O0 and Judge Roger s. Newell of the local court appointed Henry l.. Beach adminis- trator and the property was divided among the relatives. Soon after the death of Mrs Kunzeman, another sis ter, Mrs Lizette Meyer of Winona, Wis, who was to receive her share of the estate, died at her home in Wis., consin. Another sister, Mrs Amelia Winter of Waterbury, thereupon took out administration papers for the set clement of her sisters estate, and these were granted in Bristol by Judge Newell, as the property left by Mrs Kunzernan was here. While this was going on the heirs of Mrs Meyer be- came involved in litigation which finally landed the affair in the court of common pleas, and 1t is there yet in an unsettled condition. Before this matter was straightened out the lawyers in the case, who were Ma thanieI R. Bronson and Frederick M. Peasley, both of Waterbury, went to Wisconsin to look up the affair. Soon after word came from that state that a will purportfng to have been left by Mrs Meyer had come to light and all her property by that instrument had been left to the Wisconsin relatives. This will was admitted to probate In Dodge county, Wis.
 Mir Bronson of Waterbury is the counsel for the Wisconsin relatives and application was recently made by him acting for the western heirs for the ancillary administration of the will in Bristol. Objection was made by MT PeasIey on the ground that the Wisconsin court had no Jurisdiction ton in the estate of Mrs Meyers as she never lived in Dodge county, and they aliege that the applicant for the admission of the will in Wisconsin was guilty of fraud in giving notice of the admission of the will to probate. The matter was submitted in briefs before Judge Newell who has decided that the copies of the proceedings of the Wisconsin court are binding on the parties in this court

ST CECILIA CHURCH
 FAIR AT EAGLES HALL

St Cecilia's parish fair will com. mence at the Eagles hall on October 9th and continue to the following Sat urday, the 22d. After due deliberation 1t was considered highly advisable to hold the fair in the hall formerly known as the Auditorium, but now owned and managed by the Eagles. For it Is fact that the hall has now the finest floor for dancing in this part of the state, and that is what the fair patrons want. Lallier's orchestra will furnish music for dancing and a stage entertainment will be put on every night. Careful attention will be given to the wardrobes for both gentlemen and ladies.
 Everyone is anxious to see the Eagles nest, and as St Cecilia's has taken care to hold the first fair there, in fact, to throw open its doors to a patronizing public, it is a foregone con. clusion that the hall will be comforta- bly, filled each night of the fair.
 As there is plenty of room, there can be no fear of crowding. The commit tee will be constantly in attendance to look after the wants of the visitors at the fair, that all present each evening may find comfort and enjoyment.

SECOND REGIMENT
 WINS RIFLE MATCH

South Manchester, Oct S.-The Sec ond regiment won the state rife match yesterday with good lead over the Third and big one over the First, which made poor show at the butts. The match was shot on the Keeney street range and the totals were: Second regiment, $40; Third SO6; First, 694, rather poor showing for an organization which formerly led the brigade in rifle shooting. The ranges were POO and 600 yards with many of the mem not at all familiar with the long distance. This year is the first the 600 yards range has been used in the shoot, the longest range heretofore having been 500 yards.
 There were about fifty men present and the wind was rather high during the match, interfering somewhat with making good scores. The men showed more familiarity with the new rifles than when they were here last month trying for new positions on the team to represent the state at the national tournament at Fort Riley, Kan

WERE OUT FOR
 A GOOD TIME

New York, Oct S.-Of the five per. sons injured in the automobile acci- dent on Jerome avenue early yesterday one, Mrs Kate Wadsworth, may die. None of the others is seriously hurt
 It was one of the three dead, Albert Moves. the driver, who took the party out. He sneaked away with his em- ployer's machine on last Thursday night for little private auto ride with a picked-up party of convivial friends.
 The trip ended under the wheels of locomotive, with three of the party dead and five hurt. Never was death more sudden. One moment they were laughing and singing with mirth that was not entirely due to youthful spir- its. A second later they were being ground to pieces.

BOSTON TUNNEL OPENED.
One of the Longest of Its Kind in
the World.

Boston Dec. 30.-The submarine tunnel con-
Meeting Boston and East Boston was opened
for public travel at $50 o'clock this morning
The dedication of the tunnel to public
carried out without any formality ceremony
An electric car left the terminal OF the tunnel
at East Boston at the hour mentioned, and made
the run to the mainland terminal underneath
Scolay Square. Despite the early hour, large
crowd present, and there was friendly
rivalry TO obtain a place on the first car to
pass through the tunnel.
From the surface terminal station az Nave
rick Square. East Boston. the tunnel slopes
gradually till it reaches the harbor shore.
under which it passes in the form of a curve
until il reaches the opposite side Of the har-
Dor and then ascends again until at the terminal
in Scollay Square it is the same distance below
the level Of the street as the subway station di-
rectly adjacent.
The tunnel is double tracked with a broken
stone roadbed. There two stations in addi-
ton TO those at Scoliay Square. and Maverick
Square, zone on the Boston shore Of the harbor
under State-st. and Atlantic-ave.. the other I'M
der State-st-. near Washington. 1t is one Of the
longest saltwater tunnels in the world. It's total
length is IA miles. although only 2, 100 feet OF
this is under the water. This length is exceeded
by the Mersey tunnel at Liverpool, which has

constructed at a cost of So. 100000 by the city
of Boston. which has leased 1t for term Of
