Another Rehearsal Will Be Held in
 City Hall This Evening.

Every member of the cast of char. acters of the drama "The Shaugh- raun" is expected to be in City hall at 8 o'clock sharp this evening to be in structed in some of the finishing touches of this play. which will be produced on next Wednesday evening.

The play is re markable one in every respect and one of the most difficult of the kind ever undertaken by amateurs.

Films shoe store and from members of the Hibernian Knights.

HOTEL CONNECTICUT
Ownership Decided Yesterday by the
 Superior Court.

A demurrer filed some time ago challenging the rights of John ". Smart to the ownership of the Hote, Connecticut on Center street, was de- cided yesterday by the supreme court, which held that the lease of the prem lses Is his property. This is about the final phase of the fight over the own ership of this hotel. It has been going on in the courts over year. When ehe former owner, George Pattee, went into bankruptcy, MT Smart, who was one of the principal creditors, secured the lease from the owner of the build Ing, l.. F. Haase. Subsequently MT Haase seemed to regret this step, for he brought suit for the recovery of the lease, which by this time MT SmaH dad purchased. Nevertheless the other bidder for the lease Attorney Georg1 H. Freeman, representing MT Haase, took the matter to the supreme court on demurrer. which was decided yes terday in favor of MT Smart.

CHECKS WERE CAsHED.
Gasolene Tank of Automobile Not the
 Only Thing That Leaked.

Gasolene Tank of Automobile Not the
 Only Thing That Leaked.
 Woodbury, Nov. 24-Ever since the story of Harry Durant's Waterbury dinner party and subsequent myste- rious automobile trip into L1tchheld county went the rounds of the state press last week, good many know ing winks have been exchanged be- tween political wiseacres.
 It is said that Fairfield county de- tectives examined carefully every road leading to Salisbury but failed to detect the scent of Waterbury gas olene. One of the sleuths. however, determining to take up the trail from the Waterbury end, was able by req son of leaky gasolene tank to follow the scent straight to celebrated hostelry in this town. His investiga- tions developed the fact that there were not so many statesmen in the party as the first report indicated-- only an ordinary tonneau load-just enough to fill the four corners of a table and that the only politics ln- volved were as relish to game din- ner.
 And furthermore, if the guests were Harry's at the start there is pretty good evidence that they all clipped in before daylight At all events three pretty good sized out-of-town checks were cashed in Waterbury next morn ing and the gasolene was replenished.
 The leak in the tank was not entire ly stopped however, and Harry's little joke leaked out and now it is said that a distinguished senator from Bridge port sails for Europe this week with an easier mind.

ASSESSMENTS AGAIN.
People Widely Differ in Intsrpretina
 che Report.

The item in the Democrat of yester. day regarding the assessment muddle occasioned some talk with reference to what the experts actually did say in their report and it is surprising how widely people differ on this point. some claiming that they said, accord. ing to the books he doesn't owe the city anything, and others taking the ground that there was some ambiguity about what they did report, so that 1t Is still an open question. Well, after going into the matter in detail. here is what the report states:
 'sIn conclusion, we have to report that, for the reasons above stated the condition of these accounts is such that they do not furnish sufficient evil dence to show that any assessments collected by you have not been paid to the city; and consequently we have not been able to ascertain that any amount of such assessment has not been in some way accounted for by you"
 Whether or not the experts meant to phrase this so that it couldn't be interpreted to imply that Colonel Bur- pee owed nothing, and on the other hand that nobody could torture any inference from 1t which would lead one to believe that he didn't owe something, nobody outside the ac- countants know. but in any case 1t doesn't appear quite clear to the or dinary mind, but probably an expert accountant or an astute attorney would experience no difficulty in ex. blaming it to suit himself The agree ment entered into between Colonel Burpee and the board of finance was brought about by communication from Colonel Burpee to the law com mittee, who passed it along to the board of aldermen where it was ap- proved and the department of finance instructed to make such contract with Colonel Burpee. According to the agreement Colonel Burpee was to pay the experts and select men accept able to the city. The first selection did not meet with the approval of the board of finance. but they were satis- fled with Mir Manvel and agreed to abide by his finding. Now, what did he discover? Waterbury is quite lit erary town and it's representatives should find it easy enough to explain what Is meant by the paragraph quot ed from the report and printed herein, but 1t appears that the learned men cannot get together on it. Grammati- cally, It is all right, but the scholars. and these include the disciples of Blackstone, extract different meanings from it, so thar the only solution of the question is to let it drop. open a new set of books and begin anew If they keep on Investigating, consider ably more money will be lost in the hunt for the source of the trouble and locating the man who has the money than the full amount involved, and in such case the last mistake will be worse than the first.

 Caught in Shafting.

New Britain, Nov. 24A young Swede named John Johnson was en- gagged in setting up grind stone in the experimental room at Landers, Frary X Clark's Wednesday afternoon when his clothes became caught in the belting.
 He was drawn up to the ceiling and held there in perilous position until the safety button which controls the power could be reached. When he was rescued, with the exception of one stocking, he was as nude as the day he was born. He looked like a comic opera performer but he did not feel like one. 1t was thought that he must have sustained injuries. 4 phy- sician was summoned but he could not find anything the matter with Johnson. He was loaned some clothes by his shopmates and was able to walk home.

Farmers Think Deer Is Possessed of a
 Demon.


 Winsted. Nov 24.-If all deer were like one that has farmers in this sec ton panic-stricken law would be passed offering bounty on them to take the place of the one which now exists and which affords them protec- ton.
 The one referred to is a large ugly deer that is said to weigh 300 pounds. It has been seen repeatedly. Wednes- day it appeared on the farm of Platt Volt in Rverton with seven other deer When Mir Volt came out of his house the animals all ran with the exception of the large one. He stood his ground until he spotted Mir Volts dog, which he promptly proceeded to chase into the barn. Mir Volt got out of sight very promptly.
 The farmers of the village are talk ing of petitloning the governor for per mission to kill this demon-possessed animal, which chases men and they fear will sooner or later kill some one.
