Hartford, Feb. Ex-Governor Wood ruff to-day signed the commission of Attorney Isaac Wolfe of New Haxen to be judge of the common pleas court in New Haven county, the same taking effect at once.
 The appointment of Attorney Isaac Wolfe was sent to the senate some days ago, and confirmed by that body, and his eXcelleney lost no time in put ting the finishing touches on the meas ure which makes Attorney Wolfe a pre- siding judge of this court.

 At present Judge Bennett is the only presiding judge of this court, but he will be relieved of some of the busi- ness of the court by the recent ap- pointee.
 Tn connection with the changes among the judiciary of the county and the state recently sent to the senate by the governor, the upper branch to- day confirmed the appointment of Judge William L. Bennett of New Ha- ven. now in the common pleas court, taking office September 2S next, when Judge Roraback leaves the superior court bench to preside with the jus tices of the supreme court The ap- pointment of Ernest c.

HEARING ON PETITION OF TROL
 LEY THROI1GH GREFyN.


 Hartford, Feb. 7.--New Haven had it's day before the railroad committee yes terday In the hearing on the petition of the Consolidated Railway Go. for an extension of it's lines in that city. Sev- eral changes are asked for, but the one mlost strongly objected to is 2 line through Temple street, the thorough fare which crosses New Ravens green. IL. F. Robinson of this city was the counsel for the company and J. K. Punderford explained the proposed changes.
 Mir. Punderford said that the line was needed to relieve the congestion at the corner of Church and Chapel streets. He read statistics showing that from 122 to 322 cars passed that corner every hour, according to the season of the year. If any other route can be devised to relieve the congestion he would have advocated it. He said that the cars would not run through the sward of the green in any place, but through paved street and, in answer to an objection. he said that cars now run nearer the pulpits of two churches on the green than they would on the proposed line. only one church win be much affccted-2the Center
 Speaker Tilson objected to the line on the green, and said that the senti- ment of the city was against allow- ing anl trolley line through the green, and Corporation Counsel 1Daggett also objected on the same ground. Alder man Loos of New Haven said that he did not thin kthat one per cent. of the residents of the city would favor the layout and Senator Homan said that MT. Punderford would drop dead of heart disease and surprise of the petit tion should be granted.

Supplies in America.

London, Aug. 2S.-The British war
secretary, Mr.. Haldane, answering a
question in the house of commons, an
nounced that he proposed purchasing
army stores in America when he can
get them there equally as good or bet
ter than elsewhere, at more satisfac-
tory prices, without %apologizing to the
local protectionists who insist that
British firms should be given the pref
erence. irrespective of price or quail
ity. The matter was brought up by
Sir Howard Vincent, Conservative and
free trader, representing the Central
division of Sheffield, who asked for
explanations Of why the war Office or
dered 100000 pairs Of horseshoes in
the United States for the use of the
British cavalry instead of supporting
British industries and workmen.
Mr.. Haldane, in the course of his
reply, said that the American goods
were satisfactory both as regards
price and' efficiency and in the inter-
ests Of the economical administration
of the army he declined to disregard
this source of supply.
