LOOKED LIKE CASE
 FOR CIVIL COURT
Judge Kelly Discharges the Defend
 ant After a Hearing.

The classic limpidity of the Greek tongue mingled with polyglot Eng lish in the chambers of the city cour. of Norwich on Wednesday and the upshot was that Mrs. Anastasia Fous- toukous was found not guilty of kee!t ing $50 that was alleged to belong to Christes Foustoukous, boarder at ner house. The testimony ran to the ef- feet that he intrusted the sum to his landlady for safe keeping and she kept 1t. Her side was that Christes owed her $50 or more and after Judge Kelly heard argumG%ts by Lawyers Pettis and Babcock he discharged the de- fendant and said it looked to him like a civil court matter. There are civil actions entered for the $S0 against MT. and Mrs Foustoukous, a bond of $47 has been attached by Lawyer Petlis and a justice of the peace will sit at the case soon. The complainant was recently fined $12.1S for making trou- ble in the peaceful household of his landlady and he follows this by bring ing a counteraction. All of which makes another and a modern example of what happens when Greek meets Creek"

BIG IMPROVEMENTS COMING
 IN SToNiNGToN ROADS
State Highway Commissioner Looked Over the Ground-Curves to Be Gut Down.

State Highway Commissioner Ben nett was in Stoninston on Tuesday ! and conferred with Selectmen Hol- i dredge, Wilcox and Stahle, Road Com Supt. Thomas w. Ryley, representing the Norwich and Westerly Traction Co, and several property owners in that section relative to the rebuild ing of the state highway, which be- gins at Linden lane, a little east Of the borough, to Pacwtauck. Mir. Ben nett announced his plans for cutting off corners, reducing curves, grading filling in, etc, which, when carried out. will make big improvement in the highway between Stonington and Westerly: and when like improvements are effected between Stonington and Mystic, the town will have a highway from one end to the other that it need not apologize for. The work. it was intimated by Mir. Bennett will be un der way as soon as arrangements can be made People whose property will be cut into in the process of eliminat- ing curves and making some of the crooked places straight will be reim- bursed to a reasonable extent by the state.
 Plans call for a considerable inn provement at Davis ledge, where the road curves abruptly and is more or less of a menace to traffic, especially for automobiles, and from StoningtoIl to Wequetequock the land of James Palmer will be encroached upon for about 1900 feet. tapering 10 75 feet as it's deepest part. At Wequetequock the plans call for bringing the high way into private property apuut 12 feet and will necessitate the moving of the waiting room there. At Grand view park the ledge is to be cut away considerably and there is quite little grading to be done. There is an other slight change at the Brightman place; and there is filling in and grad ing to be done at the Miller property near Oxecossett bridge beyond Pep perrnint hill.
 Most of the property owners are enthusiastic about the improvements contemplated as it is expected that they will result in some increase in the value of their land The trolley company will be called upon to make some alterations in its tracks, but the plans will in this instance result in an improvement for the line

"YUsT REPRESENTATIVE IN
 TWO DOZEN FRIED EGGS,
Norwich chamPien Ego Eater Finished
 Off With Squash Pie and Coffee.

As he slid into the lunch cart on Franklin square and embraced the pro- prietor and the steel el-Helders in one ex- pansive smile of greeting. there was nothing about him to indicate that ne was pr01ably the champion fried egg eater of the city, But when he ordered a half dozen fried eggs, cooked medi4 um soft, the languid interest of the lunch cart patrons suffered an instant revival, and they watched him devour the six eggs that the lunch cart man socn turned out hot from the frying pan.
 That done, he turned somewhat wis. fully from the counter, when the sa- loon keeper suggested that he liked to see a man with good appetite, but he didn't believe the man could eat an- other half dozen.
 No sooner said than done. and the lunch cart man was set to frying an- other half dozen. which the eater de- voured and the saloon keeper paid for.
 By that time the stage manager, who was one of the late hangers on at the cart that night, expressed a doubt that the man could eat another dozen, and said that such performance would be such an entertaining feat that he would like paying for the eggs if he could see them slowed away on top of the doz- en that had just preceded them
 I lt self" cleared the way for the trial and the willing eater ordered half dozen fried soft at once. We'll seasoned with catsup, pepper and salt. they went down with relish that even carried the capacious eater to raise the plate aloft to pour into his receptive mouth such portions of the meal as could not readily be conveyed there with a fork or spoon.
 When part way through this third lap of the feast, the champion turned ad inquiring and still hungry eye to- ward the frying pan and the lunch cart man got ready the last half dozen, which, like the others. disappeared without an effort on the part of the eater.
 Congratulated by the amused party, the man passed out into the night, but had hardly moved away when his footsteps were heard returning and his voice at the window said: "Haf you for me a cup caffee undt piece of squash pie? Dot vas for me yust infresh- ment." n

Boat Will Run Yet.

Edward H. Warner says that he and his associates have not abandoned the plan of opera ting a steamship line be- tween Hartford and New London be- cause the government inspector recom- mended changes on the company s boat, Huntington, or because a quali- fled river pilot is hard to find.
 William E. Withey, the government inspector told Mir. Warner that he in- spected the Huntington on the ways, before it was launched. and consid- cred it to be a very fine boat. His views have~net changed, and he still thinks the boat is in excellent shape. The signal cords from pilot house to engine room need tightening, two lengths of fire hose need replacing and painting is needed.

 Load

The Colchester branch crew were called upon to run the first section of the Sunday evening train from Wi1li- mantle to New Haven this week and some idea of the volume of travel may be obtained from the fact that on that train alone there were over 400 pas sengers holding New York tickets, and over one-ha1f of these were picked up at Turnerville, Westchester and Ly- man Viaduct stations.
