She left her home Sunday evening saying she was going to call at the home of a neighbor. When she did not return relatives went for her and found that she had not been to the house at all. Other friends were called on and none had seen her. When darkness fell rel alives became thoroughly alarmed and the whole north end of the city was searched without result. In the morn ing searching parties started out to search through the woods around the city and the Boy Scouts were asked to help and were ready for service in the afternoon. Just before noon word was received from a Swedish family in East Woodstock that Mrs. Bedard was at their home and that they had just been able to ascertain from her who her relatives were. The woman had come to their house in the night in an exhausted condition after a walk of over ten miles and they had scared for her. It was some time beforeiher son, who was out with sa searching party, could be located and told thatA his mo- finer hnd been found

 Supreme Court
RECORD WAS NOT PRINTED
Famous Cause involving Settlement of Contract With Cuban Government for Sewage and Water Systems at
 Cienfuesos Pending in Court.

Special Hartford Correspondence).
 Hartford.-The suit of pr. Bonaven. ture F. Frederick of Saugerties, N. r.. and exCoLgressman John A Sullivan of Boston against David Frederick of Pennington. which attracted consider able attention before Judge Marcus H. Holcomb in the superior court here during the summer of 1913, is not making she progress towards the su- preme court that it would take if there were some money in sight. The case had been before Judge Holeomb for several days. Bishop Frederick, who Is the brother of David F. Frederick, and MT. Sullivan, as Dono- van & Phillips, had a contract for millions of dollars with the Cuban government for the construction of sewage and water systems in Cien- fuegos David F. Frederick was their manager and agent in Cuba, and when the final settlement was made with the Cuban government, the money was paid to him. Bishop Frederick and Mr. Sullivan alleged that he did AACL AAaht q iulA etEO0bLlH6 anu lhEy were entitled to more money than David paid them. The suit was to recover an accounting. They claimed that they were entitled to about $200,- 900. David F. Frederick said that he had paid them more than they were entitled to and he alleged that, under certain agreements, the bishop and Mir. Sullivan were indebted to him. When Judge Holcomb decided the ease, he found that Bishop Frederick and MT. Sullivan were entitled to re- cover about S17.000 from David. The bishop and MT Sullivan were not sat isfied with that award and they gave notice of appeal to the supreme court David F. Frederick also gave notice of an appeal. Both appeals are now pending The material appeal in the case is under the notice given by Bish- op Frederick and MT. Sullivan and that calls for the taking of the testi- mony and the evidence to the su- preme court. It will cost about sl,- 600 to have this printed and, as no one has shown a disposition to scome across" the clerk of the court is wait ing to see the money before he gets the big record printed. When the case was on trial 1t was said that Bish- op Frederick was possessed of an abundance of money, but whether 1t is so. or not. apparently no one ap- pears to want to put up the money 10 secure the payment of the printing of the record. The case was decided in the superior court more than year ago. It is on the docket of the su- preme court but it appears, marked. not printed"

Enuine's Great Speed.

Since the electrical zone on the New York division of the New York, New Haven & Hartford road has been extended from Stamford to New Haven. the engineers on the line have been interested in the work of the great electric engines which haul some of the trains between New York City and New Haven. The speed of which they are capable is the thing in which the engineers are most inter- ested and they say now that they have never driven one to Its limit be- cause the railroad officials will not permit it. Notices have been posted in the roundhouses ordering engineers in charge of the electric locomotives not to exceed a speed of sixty miles an hour and, if that speed is exceeded, the towermen have orders to stop the trains for, a sufficient length Of time to dispose of the excess speed. The hauling power of the locomo- tives considerably exceeds that of the steam locomotives as two of them coupled together haul from ninety to 1l0 freight cars, part loaded and a part empty, as they run in ordinary trains.

We will not build a new city hall for some time" he said, but such an improvement will be needed sooner or later and l believe that the city should control the property on the cor ner of Court street as well as the old county court house. ] am sorry that We did not buy t a long time ago when the extreme cost would not have been 80 great, but we have chance 10 get it now and we ought to take charge Of it. As we would be obliged to pay only { 1-2 per cent. interest on the bonds, and as the rental would be SIX per cehts on tne Ives anu lhe Metzger property we would not be at a loss carrying these properties until we were ready to use the land for a new city hall" It was explained by Controller Mullen that the addition of s4s0.000 10 the bonded indebted ness would not impair New Ravens credit The limit Of indebtedness is

The state highway, which has been in the course of construction between East and West Weatogue is complet- ed. and the road is now open for necessary travel, although the signs of "road closed" are still in evidence. The road has not been sufficiently rolled. The steam roller which is on the east side of the new cement bridge is awaiting for the bridge to be safe for it's passage to the other sec ton of road. There is considerable work yet to be done on the road, as 1t was necessary to make a fill of from six to ten feet, and this will all have to be riprapped to prevent washing by the floods, which cover the meadows here every year.
