LAST DAY OF COURT.
Special Session Closes-Judge Vince.
 ler's Decision in hasuire Case.

This is the last day of the special term of the superior court and Judge Wheeler retires this afternoon after hearing the case of the Cooperative Savings society of Hartford against F. J. Kingsbury ct all. This is the second time this suit has been tried. It was first tried by Judge Robinson about a year ago but he apparently forgot all about it for he never gave decision. Therefore as it was not determined within the term it had to be tried again. The suit is an old one, and involves the ownership of a house and lot situated on North Main street. Through mistake, Mrs Schindler gave mortgage to Mir Humphrey to piece of property which was free of all encumbrances except S1. while her intention was to give a mortgage on another piece of property.

Judge Wheeler gave q ruling to-day that has startled all the lawyers who heard of it. It was on motion by At torney Guilfoile for a new bond by Miss Mary McGuire. administratrix on the estate of her father, William Me Guire. who died some time ago. Mrs Blanchard was ignored in her fathers will. She was given a piano by her sisters. however, and 1t is claimed she wanted more. Ks she was not satis- fed with what she had been given, Miss McGuire, in her capacity as ad- ministratrix. replevined the piano. Thereupon Mrs Blanchard ascertained tbat her sisters bondsman was John Dilger, an employe of the clock fac. tory. The amount of tie bond was $500. Attorney Guilfoile looked into the bond and moved'for a new one in consequence. It was shown at the bearing before Judge Wheeler that MT Dilger had an equity of S4.500 in real estate in ThOmaston which has an in cUmbrance of S1,500. Judge Wheeler decided that in a matter of this kind the real estate on which the bond was based should be free from all encum. brances. He accordingly ordered a new bond. This means. in the inter. pretation put upon the order by Attor ney Cassidy. counsel for Miss Me. Guire. that it will be almost impossible 10 procure bond in Waterbury. as al. most every piece of real estate in it is encumbered to some extent.

MAYOR vs.. THE ALMIGHTY.
Official Denounced the Weather Death
Out TO His Province.

The conviction has long prevail
ed that boldness and resolution are
innate in the Anglo Saxon races,
but a recent example of unheard Of
courage is offered by the mayor of
one OF the cities of Spain, who has
openly challenged no less than the
Almighty, by publicly denouncing
his behavior towards the Mayor 5
province in the following interest
ing decree, translated from a Span
ish journal:
Whereas, the Almighty has not
behaved Himself properly, with re-
gard to this province and city, in
asmuch as only one rain storm Wis
tied the country during the last
year, and not a single time has it
rained during this winter in spite
of prayers and professions, in detri-
ment to the chestnut crops, OH
which the prosperity and progress
of our province depends:
Now, therefore, be it resolved:
Art. /. If within the peremptory
term of a week from the date of
this decree it should fail to rain
abundantly no one shall attend
mass nor say prayers of any kind.
Art. II. Should the drouth
continue for a term of eight days
longer, all churches and chapelS
shall be burned and all objects of
DEVOTION and prayer destroyed.
Art. III. Finally. if within a
third term of a week, it should fail
to rain abundantly all clergymen,
monks and friars shall be mas
sacred and beheaded.
And permission is hereby
granted to all to commit all sorts
and species of sin, that the SUI
preme Being may know and under
stand with whom he is dealing"
