is part OF IT, The more air a family

But these things are hard to get,
while a soda stand can be easily
erected.
Still, when compared with what

TROLLEY EMPLOYEES
May Not Get Hearing Before June
 Term of Court.


 The three trolley employees charged with negligence of duty and causing loss of life, John Dillon, John Flavin and Thomas Sullivan, will not be given a trial at the June term of the superior court, though 1t is possible that Flavin may be. Assistant States Attorney Kellogg has already said that he will not try these cases unless, as has been said, Flavin de- mands hearing. Flayin and Dillon are concerned in the west end troll ley disaster which cost five people their lives and awful suffering to others. Dillon is out on bail and at work in New York city on the troll ley system there, while Flavin was surrendered by his sister-in-law, who -gave bail for him, some mouths ago and he has been in jail since. On that account he may denlan1 hear ing in which case it cannot be re- fused him. The case against the railroad engineer, Fisher, will also go over. Fisher was engineer of the train that collided with a regular train at Hills siding one Saturday morning last winter, killing three men, the engineer and fireman of the regular and his own fireman Governor Woodruff and staff and the New Haven Grays were on Fishers train, but while the governor and staff escaped injury, some of the mili- tiamen were badly injured. It is said that accident has cost he rail- road company already about $75,- 900.

GOT WRONG LETTER.
Absent Juror Delayed Hearing i'm
 Superior Court To-day.


 The hearing in the superior court of the dispute on the will of the late Mrs Catherine Killoughey was given rather shock to-day. The hearing was to have been resumed at 11:15 o'clock. Court opened at that hour but one juror, Andrew W. Culver of Beacon Falls, was absent. The court and jury waited and wait- ed and finally MT Culver was found on the telephone at his home. He was greatly surprised to find he was wanted in court and he took the next trolley car north. It was near ? o'clock when he reached the court house, rather winded, and then the cause of the delay came out.
 Last week the court notified Clerk Marsh to inform those jurors who were not hearing the case that they could remain at their business until Thursday. MT Culver was on the panel and he was greatly surprised on finding at his home last Saturday letter informing him that he was dispensed with until next Thursday. Tn a word, the letter that was in- tended for Juror George A. French of Seymour was addressed to MT Culver. Meanwhile, in the absence of MT Culver, counsel in the case agreed to go ahead without him, ex- pecting that he would not appear for the day, but when he showed up at z o'clock counsel agreed to allow him in the case and to read to him the evidence that had been taken dur ing his absence. This evidence was given by Mrs Margaret Rice, who was on the stand when court ad- iourned last Thursday. It was sub stantially what she had given on that day; that Mrs Killoughey had often told her that her property was to po to the priest.
