Case For sye.sss Dsmsgss For
 Failure te Keep Contract.

The special session of the superior court, ordered by Acting Chief Jus tice Simeon Baldwin. of New Haven for the relief of the crowded docket began this morning at 10 o'clock with Judge Edwin B. Gager of Derby on the bench. The first case set down for hearing at the bar meeting last Saturady was taken up, that of Edward B. Wilson ct al against Ed ward T. Root; his wife Caroline B. Root and her sister Mrs Ellen Hitch cock of Springfield, Mass, for $50, 900 damages, for failure to keep a con tract. It was alleged that some years ago the plaintiffs entered into an agreement with the defendants by which on payment of $500 down and $7,500 cash later on note for the balance of $35,0O0 they were to come into possession of certain land loca- ted in the west end meadows and owned by the defendants This land previously belonged to Amos Blake and upon his death 1t became the property of his daughters Mrs Root and Mrs Hitchcock.
 Attorney John o Neill, representing the plaintiffs, claimed the $500 was paid as agreed upon and that the $7,500 cash and note for the re- mainder of the $35,OO0 was offer ed and declined He set forth that by the failure of the defendants to keep their contract the plaintiffs suffered considerable loss and that the land in question isspecially adapt ed for manufacturing and warehouse purposes and such land is becoming very scarce and therefore valuable hereabouts.
 1 The defensive was general denial
 but there was special defense to the effect that the alleged contract
 was made with the stipulation that it
 would be carried out provided the de- fendants, Mrs Root and Mrs Hitch cock, agreed to it; also that the pro
 bate court would first have to per
 nit the sale of the property, and that
 an order for such sale was made and
 was opposed by Mrs Root and her
 sister, and the order was refused. At torney Root, acting for the defen-
 dants, stated that the $500 cash was
 offered to the plaintiffs and is now
 on deposit with interest with the
 clerk of the court.

Portsmouth. x. H.. Jan s.- Alarmed by the gradual filling mp of Pepperells cove on the Maine side of this harbo-. which is considered the best and safest anchorage for vessels in storms from the south. petition has been placed In the hands of Maine and New Hampshire senators and congressmen for the dredging of the haven. The filling of the cove is supposed 10 be largely due to the re- moval of Hsnderson's Point. which vas blown np last year. the tide hav- ing carried the locsened soil into the cove. ff the place is dredged nov. the mariners say. there is little probz- bilIty of it's filling up again. as the removal of the point has changed the course of a strong current that for meriy ran down the river carrying mud into the anchorasr.

BAN ON DIVORCES
Episcopal Convention Re.
iects Resolution to Pre-
vent Re Marriages.

Richmond. Va, Oct. "a resolution
offered by Bishop Doane Of Albany, be-
fore the House of Bishops Of the Gen
eral Episcopal convention today, the
purport of which was to deny marriage
to any divorced person, was rejected by
the house after long discussion. The
rejection of the resolution followed the
report of a special committee on mar
rage and divorce appointed to rem
der an opinion in the matter. The
committee recommended that the reso-
luton be rejected.
The Bishop of Albany was the author
OF the resolution adopted at the Bos-
ton convention in 1904, which limited
the marriage Of divorced persons to the
innocent party.
The memorial from the church in
Canada in reference to increasing the
efficiency of the deaconate was refer
red to a special committee with in
structions to look into the increas ed
efficiency OF the deaconry In Canada
and in the United States. The Bishops
of Pittsburg. Michigan City and Louis
lana were appointed on this cammittee.
The Hosue OF Deputies spent the ar
ternoon discussing points OF amendment
TO the constitution preamble. which
now threatens TO drag out the entire
session. No specific action was taken
on them. the house being In bad humor
and tired Of discussing them.

anxiously forward.

the harrassed man. as he looked into

But Marine was not deceived. She
knew Mr.. Methven was In trouble,

Marine could not Danish from her

she wondered.
She determined TO walt until he had
