Nearly 5000 people were gathered in the cathedral long before the mass began and as many more stood in Fifth avenue viewing the procession of the clergy from the college in Madison avenue to the Fifth avenue entrance of the cathedral.
 At II o'clock hundreds of surpllced clergy filed out of the college in pairs, followed by some fifty bishops and their chaplains, the Moneignori clad in their purple raiment and the repre- sentatiyes of the numerous religious orders Then came the higher ranks of the prelacy, the archbishops and 1 finally the figure of the Irish cardinal robed in the red of prince of the l church appeared.

All Brewery Workers Making Demands on Beer Man
 ufacturers.

 of Living.

The members of tho local Brewery Drivers union, No. 37, expect the an- swer of the brewers to their request for increased wages and shorter hours Friday, May 1, and. though little Is being said, it Is stated that the brew CTS are very seriously considering the demands The men are asking for an increase of s1 a week and an hour shorter day. bringing down the time of work to eight hours day. Not only the drivers, but all the men, de- mand these concessions.
 There are 155 members of the union. which comprises all the men in the business in New Haven and Derby. The negotiations have been very friendly. and the men have ad- vanced reasons with their request for the higher pay They say they ask for the increase because the cost oi the necessities of life has gone up They say that the brewery worker needs better clothing to protect health than other branches of labor. They add that. while the breweries have in- creased the price of beer to the re. taller, none of the added profit has been given the employe. Statistics showing the increase in the price ot clothes are given. Where shoes for. merly cost sl.5O they now cost S2.25 overalls and jumpers have increased from Sl to S2 a suit; boots have in creased from $5 to $S. s9 and s1o.

Old Humphrey Street Ex- tension Matter Decided by Superior Court
 in Railroads
 Favor. RETAINING WALL $25,S5o Proximate Effects of Taking of the Land Must be Consid- cred, Declares Judge aJ Roraback.

Judge Alberto A. Roraback sent in his memorandum of decision yesterday, afternoon In the appeal of tho New Haven road from the decision, of the city board of compensation in the Ce. dar Hill station matter. The decision gives the road damages amounting to sS2.S50 as against the city of New Ha- ven. In that amount arc included $25, $50 damages which the road will have to expend for building retaining wall along one of its tracks, 5000 for land damages, and s5.000 for the value of the depot building which will have td| be demolished.
 The case has long been In the courts.i It was argued at great length beforc Judge Rcraback In his recent addition- al session. The suit grew out of the, extension of Humphrey street which, came in line with te station building,I The city board of compensation allow1 ed the railroad $5,527 but that was not thought to be enough and the present. suit resulted. At the time of the trial 1t was brought out that the line of the street extension would come within a very few feet of the tracks of the rail- road which now extend from the main line on a crescent-shaped spur to the factory of the National Folding Box company. The soil being sandy a cave-in would certainly follow unless a retaining wall of some length were built and this the company said would cost in the vicinity of s25,000. As to the cost of this wall the city, which was represented at the trial by Corpor- ation Counsel Rogers. admitted the cost named by the company would be the actual one but said 1t could not rightly fall upon the city to pay for 1t.
 There has been some indignation on the part of the residents of the Fair Haven district when 1t was rumored that the railroad company did not in- tend to build new station building after the present one is taken down. The railroad commissioners called hearing on the matter at which the railroad promised to erect a new build ing in the near vicinity.
 Judge Roraback's memorandum of decision is as follows.
 This is an action claiming reassess- ment claimed to have been caused by the extension of Humphrey street from Mill street, to Lombard street, across the property of the railroad company at Cedar Hill' station in said city of New Haven.
 The board of compensation assessed damages to the amount of s5,527 which said company claims is wholly inade- quate.
 One of the important items for which damages are now claimed Is for re- taining wall, which was not considered f by the city in making it's assessment, although 1t Is now conceded that this Wall will be necessary to support the embankment and railroad tracks there- on SO as to permit the passing of trains along the southerly line of the l proposed extension of Humphrey street on the companys property.
 It was insisted in the argument that ------

osition was defeated. The next effort
to remove the county seat was at the
April election of 1861 and at this time
carried. In the meantime the county
business was carried on at Hamlin's
Grove and ihe first term of district
court was held there in the fall of 1855
in schoolhouse, Judge Sears pre-
siding.
p. |. Whitfield surveyed the town OF
Extra in April, 1857. 1t was then
called Viola but as there was another
postot1ice in the state of the same
name, it was changed to Extra, the
latter being chosen in compliment to a
lady.
Judge Isaac p. Hallock and Miles
Beers settled where Oaktield is stu
ated in April, 1854 The town was
laid out in the latter part of the year
