ABOUT PAVING BLOCKS.
Commissioner Hook Says to Turn Them Inside Down.

Commissioner Hook of the depart, ment of public works is something of a humorist and says things once in a while that breaks the dull monoton- ous round of business for an entire evening. Last night when the mat ter of permanent pavement was be- ing discussed MT Hook said he thought 1t was almost throwing mon- ey away to put bricks on East Farm street, because they wouldn't stand the heavy trucking to and from the Chase Rolling Mill Co. He wanted to know what about Belgian blocks Somebody inquired if 1t would pay tc take the blocks now on Meadow street. which will soon be covered up by the railroad changes unless they are removed. and use them on East Farm street. Commissioner Lawlor thought this might vitiate the whole proceedings and prevent the city from collecting an assessment for the work and added that in any case perhaps the property owners might not care about-a second hand pave ment. Never mind about that" re- marked MT Hook, "the blocks on Meadow street are as good as new and if you turn them upside down the property owners never will know the difference"

BOHL NOT SATISFIED.
Awarded $12,O0O for His Property
 by Bureau of Assessment,

Valentine Bohl didn't even smile this morning when he was notified that all he had to do in order to re- ceive q check for neat sum was drop in and see Comptroller Russell The bureau of assessment put the award for his property at the railroad station at n trifie over S12,O00. Mir Bohl is not satisfied with this and declared that it certainly ought to be worth what 1t it listed for. S15,000. Up to press hour MT BOhl had not ac- cepted the invitation to accept the city's offer In like manner Emerson Hotchkiss. who wanted about SI5,0O0 and was awarded about S35. 900 is not throwing his hat in the air over what has happened, although some say it was good price for the property. The banks held mortgages on these pieces of property and have already called and taken what was coming to them. The checks were made out for tine equity which the owners had in the property and the balance was drawn in favor of the mortgages. All these blocks of property go to make the approach" to the new union sta- tion.

THE CARTER ESTATE.
Hearing Closed Yesterday Afternoon
 Until April 27.

The hearing on the contested will of the late Sarah E. Carter of Wa terville will be resumed on April 27. Toward the close of the hear ing yesterday it was testified to that Mrs Carter never asked for her daughter, Mrs Helen M. Ford, wife of the postmaster of Waterville, George H. Ford, and that she sell dom spoke of her or said sine would like to leave her some of her proper ty. It was testified to that Mrs Car ter never said she had robbed Mrs Ford of her rights and would make it square in her will, and that she wished to buy her piece of proper ty. Yet when she did speak of Mrs spectfully. Mrs Jennie Barnes, a daughter of Mrs Carter and sister of Mrs Ford, did not say to her mother that she ought to give Helen something. Mrs Carter never made any reference to Mrs Ford when she talked of making her will.
 Dr Frederick G. Graves testified wrote Mrs Ford that it would be unwise for her to see the old lady, owing to her nervous state. But, he added, that he wrote at the request of Mrs Barnes. When the doctor saw Mrs Carter she was sound in mind and competent to make a will. Mrs Ford is contesting the validity of the will on the grounds that her mother was under the undue infu- ence of Mrs Barnes and she was in. competent to make a will. Practi- cally Mrs Ford was ignored in the will.

TO PRISON FOR WIFE.
Benjamin Altman Served Ten Years
 at WethersfieId for Arson.

Benjamin Altman, 77 years old, who has been living with his daugh- ter in Hartford, Iold an unusual story to Judge Walter H. Clark in the police court yesterday, when he was arraigned for assault ing his wife on March 2S while she was on her way to a synagogue. He said that his wife had been guilty of arson, that he was arrested for the crime and that to save her from prison he served ten years in Weth- ersfield. The crime was committed in Hartford, he said.
 Altman said that he had lived with his wife for 45 years and on May of this year he will have been out of prison four years. For some time he has been living on Belleyde. street and his wife has lived with another daughter on Russell street. He said that during the time he was in prison his wife turned against him, that he is now poor and that his wife and children are rich. He has done some peddling since re- leased from prison. He has a wagon and harness, but no horse He said that he had asked his wife many times for $50 so that he could buy a horse, but that, although she had plenty, she would not give him the money. On his opening statement to the judge he said:
 T tell you, judge, I lived with that woman for 45 years and I went to state prison for 10 years to save her. She wanted to get rich and she burned house to get insurance. She turned against me after I served 10 years to save her !"
 It appeared that there has been considerable trouble between the man and the woman since his release from prison and it was said that Altman has threatened to kill his wife. He told Judge Clark that since his discharge from prison State Attorney Eggleston had sent for him and the state attorney told him, he said, that he was sorry that he had been sent to prison, as he had become acquainted with the facts and knew that Altman did not set the fire.
 Judge Clark fined the man $25 and costs. suspended execution of the penalty and put Altman on pro- bation for one month.

 i'm Justices Office Yesterday.

New Britain. April S.-T. Cotton Mather of Bristol and Miss Olive B. Cook of the Bell town called at Town Clerk Loren D. Penfield's of- fee yesterday afternoon and got a marriage license.

 The bride said her occupation was factory work. After securing the marriage license the cOuple ad- journed to City Collector Howard NJ. Steele's office, where as justice of the peace. he tied the nuptial knot. It was quite a relief to Collector Steele to have parties call on such an eTrand. as the object was quite different from most of tine callers who drop in on a candidate during a hot political campaign. Mr and Mrs Mather received his felicitations and departed. They vill reside ln Bristol.
