expenses of investigating trade conditions

SUIT STILL ON
Judge Gager sun Rearing Case AqainSt Edward Root and Wife

The case of Edward Wilson and others against Edward T. Root, his wife, Caroline, and her sister, Mrs Ellen Hitchcock of Springfield, Mass. is still occupying the attention of Judge Gager in the superior court. The plaintiffs are suing for $50,000 damages for breach of contract. MT Root was administrator on the es- tate of the late Amos Blake. his wife's father, who left considerable land in the west end. and he agreed, it Is all legged, to sell this land to the plain- tiffs for a certain sum, $500 down. $7,50O in cash later, and the balance in a note. The question is, did ne sign the agreement conditionally and as administrator, knowing that he should have the consent of the heirs before he could sell? He signed the document at all events and later re- fused to stand by it. Both his wife and her sister refuse to consent to the proposed sale and this resulted in the suit.

KELLOGG's SUCCESSOR.
Speculation as to Whom It Will Be
 Should He Go Up.

It is taken for granted among the
 local lawyers that Attorney John P. Kellogg will surely be nominated for the judiciary of the superior court.
 and in view of that the lawyers are
 wondering whom MT Kellogg's suc- cessor as city attorney shall be. A provision in the city. charter eliminates all of the republican law yers with the exception of Judge Sur pee who would not take the office anyway; Judge F. M. Peasley, Attor- ney J. M. Byrne and Attorney N. R. Bronson who would rather be in a good game of golf than trying to solve problems about electric lights and cobble stones as city attorney. The city charter provides that the
 incumbent of the office of city attor- ney shall have practiced at the bar ten years, and this bars out all the republicans except the above named quartet.
 In view of this state of affairs there is good chance of democrat being appointed, and Attorney T. F. Carmody is prominently mentioned for the place. Excepting Attorney
 John O'Neill. his son Joseph and At torney James F. Russell, Attorney Carmody is the only other eligible. The board of aldermen makes the appointment and that body is about tie at present. There is no repub- lican lawyer strong enough or popu- lar enough to induce a democrat on the board to vote for him. whereas Attorney Carmody is popular with the entire bar, the democratic side of the board of aldermen would vote for him to man and he is we'll liked by the republicans.
 Concerning the personnel of the board. the popularity of Attorney Carmody, the dearth of republican candidates and the conditions back of Attorney Carmody, it would not surprise the bar if he were appointed. There are some very liberal. minded republicans on the present board of aldermen.

THE POLICE COURT.
Two Young Torrington Girls Were
 Before the Court To-day.

Sylvia Hill, IT, and Lucy Worden. IS, both from Torrington. had the dock in the city court all to them- selves this morning. They were charged with street walking and theft of skirt worth $3, the prop erty of Mrs Arthur Davis of Cottage place. Officers T. Mccarthy. Fitzger- aid and Callahan testified on the charge of street walking and McCar- thy testified also to arresting the girls in a room near the corner of East Main and Orange streets. They had the door locked and refused to open 1t until the officer threatened to break it in. The Hill girl had the skirt on.
 Mrs Davis stated that the Worden girl roomed in her house one week. The story of the Worden girl was that the skirt cost so cents and she went with Mrs Davis to the dyer's with it. Mrs Davis told her, she said, that she could have the skirt by pay ing for it after 1t was dyed. Finding that it was too large for her she told her friend Sylvia she could have it provided she paid for the dyeing. Hence the officer finding 1t on Sylvia when taken into cutsody.
 Judge Burpee found the evidence on the charge of theft insufficient and on the other charge imposed a fine of $15 and costs on the Hill girl as she was fin court only quite re- gently, and the Worden girl was let off with fine of $7 and costs. Both were warned that they will be sent to jail if arrested again.
 William WinslOw was charged with non-support of his wife. Both are we'll along in years and were mar ried eighteen months ago. A year ago Winslow was ordered to pay his wife $2 a week. This he has faithfully done until a week ago when he earned only $7 and he told Probation Officer Combellack he could afford only $1 that week and he expected to be able to makeup the deficiency the following week. Mrs Winslow re- fused to accept the S1. Tn response to the courts question Mir Combel- lack stated that before their marriage Mrs Winslow lived with her son in the country and sometimes in town with her daughter who keeps a boarding house. winslow has a daughter II years old. He was found not guilty.
 James valaney paid SIS in settle. ment of complaint for breach of the peace.

The annual report of Collector Francis T. Reeves is somewhat re- markable in many respects, but in none so much as the interest of col lector's account, which appears to be "a new item. Besides this. If a man should lose his receipt and the col lector could not be found. he can verify the fact that he had paid by calling upon the city clerk or the comptroller. This applies to all taxes and assessments. If this system had been in use a few years the city would not be out $15.000 or $20.0O0 on assessments. which everybody knows were paid, but the cash never reached the treasurer.
