monTvILLE MILLS.
Much Work Being Finished Up-Wa-
 ter Is Low.

Although Superintendent McDon- aid and his force of workmen have still a lot to do in the Montville wool- en mill before everything can be sald to be just right. they look to be able to make commencement on the KeSes Process product fin few weeks. The new floors are ready for the heavy machinery. the building having been strengthened in the interior by the introduction of massive timbers. The company will probably employ all It's former workmen. but will have use for a few more than when prevlously in operation as soon as the mill gets fairly started.
 Almost ready for use is the large warehouse in Palmertown at the C. M' Robertson Co.'s mill. The doors were hung Thursday and practically the building could be used at once, but some time will be allowed for the con- crete floors to harden.
 Some hustling has to be done at once o nthe new paper plant in Un- casville in order to obtain more abundant supp of water. With eight or ten powerful hoisting en- zines at work daily, big supply is required for the boilers. This has until now been obtained from well sunk in a hollow just below the Con- stock cemetery and pumped across the c. V. tracks. The nearest availa- ble source of supply is at the foot oi Oxoboxo, at the old dye mill. It is proposed to put down a line of pipe to this supply. and by putting in q powerful pump, forcing 1t either di- rectly over the hill or else around or a line bordering the curve on the spur track. It will be impossible for the work to be delayed until the big dan can be completed.

latter's husband, who are the defend ants in the civil suit, were in the court room.
 The civil suit occupied the court throughout Thursday, it being the case of William D. Seagrave of New Lon don vs. Theron ID. Durham and wire or Sopth Coventry. The suit is over $IO0. Mr. Seagrave married twice. His sec ond wife had a married daughter, Mrs. Theron E. Dunham, and they desired to secure a home and secured S7VO from MT Seagrave and he was given a mortgage on the property for that amount. A demand note was made for the amount and the interest was four per cent, and clause stated that at the death of Mir. and Mrs. Seagrave the $700 and in addition $500 from his estate should go to the Dunhams. The interest was paid regularly for years. MT. Seagrave left on Aug. 1T, 1905, and went to New London and sold his note to his nephew, w. D. Seagrave, who tried to collect the note, and payment was denied, as it was claimed it was not a demand note and would termi- nate when Mir. and Mrs. Seagrave died by going to the Dunhams. Mrs. Dun- ham explained the transactions.
 MT Seagrave claimed that he had the demand note made out so that he could get the money at any time If they didn't do right. He wanted five per cent. interest at first, but finally agreed to four and took a mortgage on the property. He testified that the was married the second time in South Gov . entry in 1895 and remained there until a few years ago. when he went south. He said the $700 was simply loan to the Dunhams. He did not agree to give the Dunhams s1,0OO otherwise thae1 in the instrument mentioned. He never told Mrs. Dunham that it was a good thing to buy the property. as he never thought it was, but they seemed bent upon buying and he raised the loan and Mrs. Durham gave a certain amount towards it.
 W. D. Seagrave explained that the $700 which was drawn from the bank was used as described in buying the property. This completed the evidence and at 4.50 o'clock court was adjourned until this morning at 10 o'clock. the arguments in the case going over

An additional feature to those sur rounding the closing of the civil su- perior court for the day was furnished on Thursday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Draper, who, after adjourning court, escorted Barzalia Seagrave to the ante-room and placed him under arrest and turned him over to Deputy Sheriff Cowles of Bolton, who held a warrant for his arrest for non-sup- port.
 MT. Seagrave had been expecting the arrest, so it did not come to him as a surprise, and he stated that he had been expecting it and would go along with the officer, and felt that some place would be provided for him to spend the night. His nephew was anx- ious to have bond given there in or der to save an automobile ride up to South Coventry and then a train ride back to New London after bonds had been given there. He said that MT. Seagraye had slept little the past few nights and that he was too old a man to expose to such hardships. He knew he could get bondsmen there. but the long trip was what he wanted to avoid. The attorneys in the case talked the matter over, and Attorney Freeman urged that bond be accepted there or that bond be given to the effect that MT. Seagrave would agree to keep up the agreement made some time ago and pay so much week for three years to his wife if he did not show up for the trial. To save any hard ship, Attorneys Hull and Mcclure were disposed to allow this, but they were uncertain about the terms of the former agreement. and it was decided that the best way was for the old man to go with the sheriff
 Deputy Sheriff Cowles came here in an auto and Mir. Seagrave was willing to accompany the sheriff back and they left soon after 5 o'clock. His nephew was. .desirous of going along to help his uncfe in getting bonds but the uncle decided it was not necessary and that he would not return to New London Friday night, as he said he is not we'll and couldn't stand the long and late trip.
 Mir. Seagrave, it was stated, had been arrested before for non-snpport and had been ordered to pay SO much for his wife's support, but had gone south and nothing had been heard from him until he appeared in court, when steps towards his arrest were taken. His wife with her daughter and the
