NEW LONDON WINS.
Score to 3 in Game on Wednesday
 Afternoon.


 The Whalers took a game from Dunn's Colts on Windham field We'd nesday afternoon before an enthusi- astic crowd of about 800 with the as sistance of Umpire Higgins who was decidedly on the blink at times.
 The play of both hines was very fair aside from a couple of innings when costly errors proved bad Wallace was poorly supported early in the game and toward the last seemed to go to pieces himself as the visiting bats men got six clean hits off him in the eleventh session, which coupled with two bad errors proved his Waterloo and ended all of Willimantics hopes.
 Up to that fatal inning Wallace had the batsmen well under control. allow ing but five scattered hits, two in the second, two in the fourth and one in the tenth. Phillips pitched well but OMara drove the ball over the center field fence with two on bases and was only allowed two bases by Ump Liz gins, although the hit was a homer according to ground rules, and the game would have been won for Willi- mantle in that inning the third, as three runs would have counted.
 Features of the game were the fast fielding of Sullivan in left field for Willimantic, Burns work at second for New London and Nasher's. Reiger's Nealons and Campion's hitting. Shaun Sullivan also caught the crowd when he slid home on James Nichols out a first after he had driven a fast deep one to Nasher at short The tabulated score depicts the game that was hard to lose in detail

ADOPTED CHILD LEGAL. Judge Burpee's Decision Favors Claim of MiIford>Woman to $12,Oo0 Estate.

Mrs. Winnie Miller, who lives in Milford, is to come into possession of an estate somewhat in excess of SIP GOO in value, if a decision filed by Judge Burpee in the superior court is not upset by the supreme court, where, it is believed, ths case will be taken by the other claimants. Mrs. Miller. however has won an import ant point in the case under Judge Bur pee's decision
 Mrs. Mary M. Burnham, 8 resident of South Windsor, died there in 1889. Some years before she died she exc cuted a will and in the will she created a trust estate for the benefit of her son. Roland F. Burnham. The will provided that on the death of Roland the estate remaining should go to his "lawful'' child or children. Mir. Burn ham never had any children born to him, but several years ago, when Mrs. Miller was a child, he took her in legal adoption. MT. Burnham died early this year and then it came time to dis tripue the estate in which he had a life interest
 There were no relatives of MT. Burn- ham on his fathers side, but on his snother's side there were three of her nfeces and one nephew living. The nephew was Edwin c. Hale of East Hartford, and the nieces were Mrs. Fife A. Mix of Bridgeport, Edith A. Northrop of Lynn Mass. and Mrs. Emma A. Reeves of New Haven. They
  also made claim, and she filed an an sWer setting up that she was the t'IegaP' child of MT. Burnham, and as such she was entitled to the whole of the estate
 The other claimants conceded that Mrs. Miller was the "legaP' child. but that she was not the lawful child al the word was used in the will. and that consequently she could not share in the estate.
 Judge Burpee says:
 '-The first req son of demurrer is that an adopted child is not lawful child' within the meaning of the will under considera tion. The statute re- Ia ting to adoption uses the words legal child but I think the terms should be regarded as synonymous. Moreover, the statute provides that the person adopting the child shall become it's legal parent with all the rights and duties between them of a iegitima te parent and child The testatrix evd- dently intended to designate any per son that the law would recognize as the child of her son. Defend ant claims and it would be enough for her to state that by reason Of adop- tion she became the legal child of the testatrfx's son. I think she does so sufficiently for the purpose of plead ing. What may happen when she at tempts to prove this allegation is quite another matter"

Rich Men in the Country.

Melvin O. Adams has told the East Bridgewater board of trade that he is not in favor of the movement of rich men from the cities to the country towns, for it means the requirement by them, he said, of thousands of acres of land for estates. It is going to leave us, in the long run. like some of the rural districts of England fn- stead of the old fashioned country we find about New England. There may be something in this idea though We fancy MT. Adams is unduly alarmed if he thinks that any approximately large area of the rural regions will meet this fate. If the argument Is good for anything however. it is good as a reason why rich men should own real estate in neither country nor city: and we are not sure but it is an argu- ment against the existence of rich men at all.--New Bedford Standard.

Dust LeveIers at Work.

The dust leveleFs, one of the branch es of the street cleaning department were at work again Wednesday on the block pavement on Main street, level ing off the dirt and spreading same to more uniform consistency.
 Many of the taxpayers and citizens of the city are much amused at this method of attempting to clean the pavement and have been heard to eX- press some forcible comments. The more feasible plan for cleaning the street, particularly that portion that is paved, to turn the hose upon it and apply q liberal douche of city wa ter from the convenient hydrants- The entire street could then be cleaned IS clean as whistle and in less than onc-third the time and consequently at a greatly reduced expense. This is 9 question that should be given se- rious and immediate attention and will mean substantial saving to the city when properly solved.
