Ruling of BOard-knife Wieldcrs Will Recoyel-Concert Program. Efforts of A. H. CondelI, $. $. Gwil- linn and other representatives of the towns manufacturing interests to have the Whiting street entrance of J. J. Murplys cafe closed met with sue cess this morning when the county commissioners granted the saloon- keeper a renewal of his liquor license on condition that the main door on Central Square be used exclusively. On the orders of the board, presented by Commissioner Lyons, who was in town late yesterday, the Whiting street door has been nailed up, officially sealed.
 The commissioners, while granting d renewal of the license, despite the op- position, virtually decided for the re- monstrants as they had concentrated their efforts on having the patrons discontinue the use of the Whiting street entrance which they declared caused the immediate locality to be made a rendezvous of idlers and other undesirable characters.
 At the hearing d week ago, the re- monstrants declared that the side en- trance should be taken away from the cafe They declared that ''bums" made Whiting street, near this door. a hang-out and that the entrance did much to encourage 'can parties" par ticularly among minors.
 MT. Murphy told the board that he was willing to make any changes that r., ,1,nr icrI,f h the entrance had the approval of the commissioners a few years ago. No changes had been made since, although he was agreeable to whatever the board favored.
 MurphyS cafe now has but a single entrance. This morning ther.. was a disposition on the part of some to criticise the decision of tne commis- sioners on the grounds that the saloon as a public place should have two exits for safety in case of fire, if for no other reason. The towns fire com missioners, or fire marshal either, they believed, would have the authority to order the Whiting street door opened, should they see fit.
 MT. Murphy will probably abide by the decision of the board, however, and it is not likely that any other officials will be appealed to.
 Italians Are Recovering.
 At the New Britain hospital this morning it was said that the condi- ton of Felix and Frank Pulamno, who received numerous stab wounds in a fratricidal struggle on Maple street Sunday night, are in comfortable shape and unless unlocked for complica- tions set in, the men should be in shape to stand trial within week.
 That one of them at least was not fatally injured is considered remark able as many of the wounds on both bodies are close to vital spots. Their cuts are healing satisfactorily and within a week the hospital authorities believe they can patch them up we'll enough to permit of their appearance in court.
 While both men are at present charged with simple assault the counts will undoubtedly be changed when they are given a hearing. As the evidence in the possession of the auth horities points to Frank as the instigator of the fight it is probable that a charge of assault with intent to murder will be pressed against him. Friends of the injured broth CTS declare that he has threatened to kill Felix on several occasions and that the latter did his best to pre- vent a clash in which either of them might be harmed
