During the past two days H. ". Rigney of Waterville has lost two valuable horses valued at $2,00O from rabies. They were bitten few weeks ago by stray dog. This is another evidence of the risk the pubs iic is taking in having dogs at large. Howard w. Hosford, representa- tive of the American Sign Co of Clyde, Ohio, talked to the board Of public works at its last meeting on street signs. He also exhibited number of patterns. some of them are supported on posts about seven feet high and others are made 90 that they can be fastened to posts or buildings. The largest ones which carry four signs wherever necessary cost $5. Nothing definite was done except to agree to have the agent submit figures for the whole job. It Is understood that some local men want g try at this thing and if they can do as well as an out of town con- cern 1t Is probable that 1t will be deemed good policy to spend the money at home.
 | The case of the heirs of the late Patrick Fitzpatrick, half brother of the late Mary Phelan was presented in
 briefs to the supreme court by | Attorney Guilfoile representing half
 blood heirs and Attorney Bron- son and Lewis counsel for the full blood heirs. Fitzpatrick died in Eng
 land but his children live in Bridge port. Miss Phelan had a full brother in ker0n Phelan. Miss Phelan in her will left some $4,0OO to Fitzpat- l rick. but he died before she did and the children of her full brother now claims that Fitzpatrick's legacy should revert to their aunt's estate and not to his children. The law says that q legacy to brother shall revert to his children and it Is the claim of Attorney GuilfOile that this also refers to the children of a half brother.
 If the board of education carries, or attempts to carry, into effect tho vote enacted at the meeting held Monday evening to heat the Webster school addition at the expense of tho contractors. M. J. Daily & Sons, until the building Is ready for occupany,. there will be trouble and probably law. The matter of testing the heat- ing and ventilating appliance is in the hands of the architect, Leonard Asheim, and the committee on school houses, Commissioners Isadore Chase. Ftnton J. Phelan and F. J. Loomis, who is absent. Architect Ash- elm received from the Dalys . letter to the effect that they lost no l time in doing their work in the Web ster school, that they did not contract to buy fuel for heating the school. that they never declined to test tho apparatus and had l..e board ap- pointed a person to witness the test It would have been done weeks ago. Antoin Weidorn has made so many calls upon the board of public works the past year that he felt constrained to apologize for his presence tuesday night and hoped that lne commits sioners would not think ham odd. His mission Tuesday night was even moro important than some of the others. A week ago he gave man permls- sion to hitch on to his private water main in Willard street, and the plumber who made the excavation left the ditch open ever since. He was afraid the water would freeze in the pipes and leave him in the fix he oc- cupied a few years ago when every- thing got frozen tight and he had to carry water to the tenants in his block from every place ne could ret it. It developed that the plumber had no license to open the street and after directing the superintendent of streets to fill in the hole 1t was de- cided to take fall out of the offen. der. but 1t is not thought that the case will be pushed. for 1t is we'll known that a plumber can work his way out of a very small hole.
