Another Wom.n InvoIycd.


 The mystery which envelopes the relations of the defaulting treaurer, with the two women and a man whom he asserts have repeatedly blackmailed him for several years, was deepened late today winch 1t was learned from one of the railway officials that an- other woman whose name has not been previously mentioned was involved.
 This oficiaL who has been specially detailed to investigate the s643.000 shortage. confessed to by Warriner. stated that the woman who enters as new factor into the case had, as far as he knew. no criminal connection with the embexzlement. but could give important information, in regard to the disposal of the stolen money. Her name has been given to Prosecutor Hunt. and she will probably be sub poenaed to appear before the grand Jury.
 There were no other developments in the case. The reports of Mir Warri- ner's breakdown in health were re- iterated. and 1t was generally conceded the accused man Is in very feeble if not precarious condition.

ASSISTANT WANTED FOR
 COMMON PLEAS COURT.
Resolution Before Legislature Does
 Not Concern Superior Court.

There has been much curiosity aroused over the Hartford account of the action in the house Thursday re- garding, as the report said, an assist ant superior court clerk.
 Instead of the assistant superior court clerk it is an assistant for the court of common pleas, the facts being as follows:
 The judiciary committee reported a resolution to provide for an additional assistant clerk in New London county common pleas court. It would in- volve no additional expense. said Sem ator Searls.
 Senator Blakesles asked how that was.
 Senator Searls said somebody-he didn't know who-would take the place without pay. He might get a lit- tie fee, but nothing to speak of. The senator moved suspension of the rules and passage of the resolution.
 Senator Blakeslee thought is most remarkable case. Most court officeds want more than they get. He'd like come in later with a request for pay The judiciary and court expenses are getting very heavy, he said.
 Senator SearlB withdrew his mo- ton for suspension of the rules and the resolution will take the ordinary course or going on the calendar.
 The appointment of an assistant would not mean any salary as the as- sistant would not be expected to per- form any duties unless the clerk should be incapacitated. As stated sometime ago, J. Frank Corey Is the choice of Judge Waller for that place, as he has had much experience in the office and would make an exceptionally good as- sistant; bpt his duties will be prac- tically none when the clerk is in town, so that the statement about his serving without a salary is easily explained. With the offices of the common pleas and superior court clerks being togeth- CT, as they are now, 1t was possible for one to look after the duties of the other In the office during a temporary absence, but the common pleas court clerk will soon move to the addition, and 1t will the be necessary to have an assistant, which the resolution con- cerns.

Modern Hydrants Being Installed.
Superintendent Burnap of Water Department is Putting in Larger and Better Ones Equipped With Steamer Connection-Another Cistern for Use.

On Friday Supt. (E. L. Burnap of the water department had a number of men at work placing a modern, hy- drant in Broadway opposite the Broad way school building. This will take the place of the old hydrant, which was on the side of the street nearer the school building. The new hydrant is larger and has a steamer connection. There is an eight inch pipe connecting it with the ten inch main in the street It was considered that the old hydrant did not give as good protection to that section, and particularly to the school building, as there should be. It would also serve to station an engine there for fires in factories in Chestnut street by running the lines of hose through the school yard.
 Several other new hydrants of mod ern type and large capacity are to be put in by Supt Burnap in the business section. While the present ones are not in bad condition, yet it Is believed

DANCING RECEPTION
 BY MISS LANES GLASS
Much Enjoyed Evening at FroehIich-
 keit Hall.

The annual reception for the danc- ing class of Miss Margaret Lang, which has been conducted at the Buckingham Memorial, was given on Friday evening in Froehlichkeit hall, attracting a large number of interest ed parents and friends. The brightly lighted hall and it's good floor proved an advantageous place for the little pupils to show the fesults of their weeks of instruction, and the scene was pretty one at the opening march and throughout the evening. Leading the march in faultless form were the two tiniest of the class. Ida Leavitt and Helen Woodworth, and the precis- ion of their work won enthusiastic ap- plause, especially for the pretty march figure with p.nk hoops with tinsel. Both the little misses wore white, lit- tie Miss Leavitt in an accordion -plait- cd dress and little Miss Woodworth in a white embroidered dress.
 Following the march were the ten numbers in which the class took part doing great credit to their instructor. As a solo number little Miss Agnes Leahy and Master Howarth Collins danced the New York barr dance with especial grace, and the Children's De- light by Miss LeavItt and Miss Woodwork was beautifully done. Mas ter James Cudworth and little Miss Marion Woodwork were a winsome couple in the Gaiety. and the minuet lanciers was danced by four couples with all the stately grace expected of them. These were the Misses Alice Reyell Marion Woodworth, Agnes Leahy and Hattie Kinney, and Mas ters Thomas Leahy, Howarth Collins, Arthur Collins and James Cudworth
