ALL BUT ONE APPROVED.
Acting Mayor Filling thinks Benedict
 & Burnham Assessment Too Low

Acting Mayor Filling has approved all the reports of the bureau Of as- sessment adopted by the aldermen Monday night except the one in ref erence to Liberty street extension. MT Filling does not think that the Bene- dict & Burnham company was as sessed enough for the expense of that project, consequently he didn't feel justified in approving it. But he didn't veto it and the chances are now that it will become law after ten days, unless the mayor returns in the meantime and disapproves of the action It was understood, 1t seems, that Benedict & Burnham's was willing to pay reasonable as sessment for that street, but the amount charged against them is not large, considering the magnitude Of the undertaking. MT Filling believes that we should have the street, but takes the ground that property spe- cially benefited should be assessed in the usual way.

 The suit of Mrs Julia Daly against tbe estate of the late M. J. DaIy her divorced husband was heard by Judge Gager in the supreme court in New Haven yesterday. Mrs Daly claims at the time she was given a decree of divorce her husbands es- | tate was worth far more than it was represented to be and in consequence | she was awarded only about si.5O0 and that she was never paid that amount. The defense is that the t estate was not worth more than what ! 1t was said to be and that Mrs Daly was given all that the court allowed her. The amount involved now is slI.O0O. Decision was reserved.

Southington, Oct 17.-One of the boldest burglaries which the town has experienced in years occurred yester- day between II and 12 at the house of Eugene Schmidt on Meriden ave nup. It seems that tramp. wearing a brown ulster and slouch hat. came along about :1J o'clock to this house and went to the back yard where he knocked and asked for something to eat. Mrs Schmidt did not like the looks of the man and being afraid to trust him, she said she had nothing to give. His immediate response was, You're d liar At this the frightened woman slammed the door and locked it. She thought Inc left the yard. and as the family is about to move. Mrs Smith went upstairs and began packing goods. After she had been there a few moments. she beard noises down stairs. but thought it was the school children. She kept on working and finally called the children. but no one appeared. so she went down stairs. As sine did she saw the tramp whom she had just refused something to eat. going nut of q window through which he had entered. The bottom floor had been ransacked. The contents of bureau drawers were throwh about the room and every kind of jewelry which came in sight was taken. as well as s9l. which belonged to Mir Schmidt's daughter. and which she had placel | in the bureau drawer.
