Considerable misapprehension ap- pears to exist in the public mind re- gardfng a statement made at the town meeting that the Sillick property was once sold to Wyatt c. Marsh of Bridgeport. for the small sum of $5,100, and that the then owner. MT. Morris F. Tyler, of New Haven. gave a clear title to the estate. The records on was the case. It seems that MT. Tyler had a mortgage on the property amounting to $1o.0O0 and that he was anxious to realize upon its! After hay ing tried in vain to make a private sale. he put the estate up at auction, with the above result. He was willing to let the mort gage be sacrificed. He acquired the property by COndemna- tion proceedings. holding a note from the previous owner who was unable that the estate was worth any more than what MT. Marsh gave for it. It's true value has always been from $16,- 900 to $1S,O00 Judge Sillick is supposed to have paid some $18000 for the prop erty. When he bought it. other mort gages had been placed upon it by Marsh. These he had to clear up. Town Clerk Stagg in the statement he made simply told the facts as they are on record in his office.
 A strange case of aged domestic in- felicity was aired in the local court yesterday vixen David McEwen was brought before the judge. charged with non-support by his wife. Mrs. ried over a year. and that David is her fourth husband. She has left her husband and gone to live with a sis ter. She complained that she was never bought her a yard of clothes. She had received from him one second hand pair of shoes. And she had gone to the Methodist church and begged a suit of ministerial looking clothes for her husband, which he had on in the court room. MT. McEwen thought his wife was a nuisance. She would not mend his clothes; she was snap piEg all the time like a. dog; and she once drew g. knife and came at him. He said he is a great fellow for joking but his wife would not take 3. joke. He was quite willing she should leave him. She was his fourth wife. and he had had enough. One of his dear other reposed in New Haven. and the third wife. who left him on the grounds of non-support, was basking in Bridgeport. He had been a sport in his day. and even now took a glass of beer once in a while. A number of witnesses spoke favor ably of MT. Mo Ewen, and gave his fourth wife bad name for having hot temper. Mrs. Palmer. who boards the discarded hus- band. admitted thaf he paid rent and
 
 which is once in four or five days as he unloads boats of coal and oysters. She thought Mrs. McEwen had an awful temper. and said one cannot reason with her. The upshot of the whole matter was that the non-sup- porting husband was fined s1 and costs. which amounted to SIP. He paid the money on the spot and all went home rejoicing.
