THE BRONSON ESTATE.
Rumored That a Settlement Has Been
 Effected.

According to report the opposition by Judge Samuel L. Bronson of New Haven to the will of his aunt, the late Susan Bronson, being probated. was withdrawn on payment of S2o,OOO to him. When it was announced some weeks ago that the contest had been withdrawn it was generally supposed that settlement had been made but what the figures were created some speculation.
 There seems to have been strong feeling between Miss Bronson and her nephew up to the time of her death. In her will she bequeathed him $1O.- 900 as compensation for his services in managing her property, but fin a cOdicil she revoked this Dequest, stat ing that she would leave his compen- sation to be adjusted in the settle ment of her estate. A year before her death Miss Bronson believed that Judge Bronson had mismaDaged her property and she brought suit for S1 100000. but this was subsequently reduced one-half.
 The withdrawal of the contest to the will did not occasion much sur prise but no one had any idea of the amount it was withdrawn for until q few days ago when rumor became busy

Comptroller Russell Investigating AT
 fairs of Grouse Construction Co.
 Comptroller Russell is home from South Amboy. where he spent a few days looking up real estate of the Grouse Construction Co. who have been awarded the contract to do some work on the outfall sewer. Owing to the trouble between the engineer and the McGovern Construction Co, the surety companies refused to furnish bonds for contractors to operate in Waterbury. so that the only way the Grouse concern could manage to hold the contract and save its check for s4.UUO. which Is still in the hands of the comptroller. was to try and get bonds fin some other way. With this end in view they invited the comp troller to give them call. and it Is understood that between cash turned over to Mir Russell and real estate which the company owns. the full amount. about sy2.OOO. has been -e- cured. and in all probability this bond will be accepted and the company will soon take hold of the job.
