masked ball of the Washington Saen-
gerbund was declared one of the most
pleasing events OF the season By the

ments in planning surprises for the
guests we're greatly appreciated by tho
dancers. The palm garden, arranged in
the basement of the clubhouse, where
the dance was held, made a decided
nit, and was pronounced one of the
best features Of the dance. Theirs

Staples, Alderman Walker and Alder man E. Fl Garlick will go to Hart ford tomorrow forenoon to attend a hearing before the Public Utilities Commission, in behalf of the city.

TRY TO lMPEACH
 TESTIMONY OF
 DIR. F. B. DOWNS

dn an effort to impeach the testi- mony of his own witness, Attorney John c. Chamberlain in the superior court this morning, endeavored to in troduce a letter written by pr. F. B.. Downs regarding the mental condi- tion of Mary J. Thorpe whose hus- band Samuel Thorpe is being sued by William Thorpe of this city.
 It is a very unusual proceeding for a lawyer to try to impeach his own witness, but this was due to a pecu- liar situation. Dr. Downs was intro duced@ as a witness for Samuel Thorpe and it was expected that he would testify that Mary J. Thorpe was com petent to transact business He took the stand, however. and swore that in his opinion the old lady was feeble minded. This morning, Attorney Chamberlain said he had a letter writ ten by pr. Downs in which the physi- elan is alleged to have said Mary Thorpe was not feeble minded Judge Holconlb refused to admit the letter as evidence.
 Samuel Thorpe was on the stand this morning and was given a severe gril1ing on cross examination by States Attorney Judson, representing William Thorpe. The latter says his mother induced to sign away property worth $65,000 through t'dum- my deed.''
 The trial was still on at press hour.

 who were seen in various resorts about Bridgeport yesterday, it is be- lieved that information of material importance to the prosecution has been received directly from the prin- cipals involved in the Cavalier mur- der. Although no definite confirn1a- ton has been obtained, it is believed that one of the murder suspects has made a clean breast of all the incl dents leading up to the murder.
 Visits yesterday were made to the rooms occupied by James Mattio on State street. and while none of the officers will reveal what clues were discovered, the fact that they im- mediately hurried to the apartments kept by a Greek woman at the corner of Main street and South avenue, has led to the report that trunks. contain ing a valuable quantity of clothing, letters and pictures were found there.
 It is known that an effort was made this morning to obtain the three trunks, but as the occupants were out at the time and no search warrant was in their possession, the officers returned without having secured pos session of any of the articles
 It is believed that the trunks in question are some known to have been shipped from Chicago when Joseph and Jennie Buonomo left that city. Should they prove to be such it is likely that much more light will be thrown upon the mystery.
