SUIT OYER LAFAYETTE ST. LAND
Judge Waller Gives Decision Case Tried in Common Pleas Court-Directs $500 Damages to J. J. ONeil and Orders Revised Deed to be Drawn.

On Monday Judge Waller of the court of common pleas rendered de- cisions in the cases of Michael Conway vs. John J. O'Neill and John J. O'Neill vs. Michael Conway which were tried before him at Norwich several weeks ago. The cases grew out of the sale of a house and lot, No. 45 Lafayette street, by Michael Conway to John J. O'Nei1l. MT. Conway lives next door at No. 47 Lafayette street.
 It was brought out in the evidence that in negotiating for the sale of the property MT. Conway represented to MT ONeill that the piece of land he was selling to him measured 131 feet on Lafayette street and was 157 feet deep It turned out some time after the deed was given. that the land con veyed to O'Neill was only 94 feet on Lafayette street and was only 137 feet deep.
 Mr O'Neill, prior to the taking of his deed of the property from MT. Con way never measured the land. He relied entirely on MT. Conway's state ment of the dimensions of the lot A short time after MT. O'Neill bought and moved onto the premises, he dis covered that the land he got by his deed fell short of the distances that had been represented to him. When the deed of the property was drawn MT Conway claimed that he had meas ured the lines and that the distances he represented to O'Neill were correct.
 The deed as drawn in conformity with the statements of Mir Conway as to distances carried the lines so far as to include another house of Mir ConWay's on Lafayette street. which neither party intended should pass by this conveyance.

 ASSISTANT POSTMASTER
Arthur L. Peale Going with New Lon don County Mutual Fire Insurance So As Bookkeeper.

After a connection of 25 years with the pOstoffice here, Assistant Post master Arthur l.. Peale handed his resignation to Postmaster William Caruthers on Saturday and on Monday made public the news of the business change that he is to make, to accept a position which has come to him un- solicited as bookkeeper with the New London County Mutual Fire Insur- ance company.
 The vacancy in the insurance com pany has arisen through the resigna- tion of Daniel $. Haviland, who gives up the place he has held for seven years in order to take a better position with the Stoddard-Gilbert company here as assistant manager and sales man. Mir. Havilands resignation is to take effect on the 1st of February, and MT. Peales at the postoffice on Feb. Sth.
 In his long service at the postoff1ce MT. Peale has acquired such general knowledge of the business as has made him a most efficient official, serving in that time as stamp clerk, general delivery clerk. mailing clerk, and money order clerk. and finally be- ing appointed assistant postmaster April 1, 1898. He first entered the post office service by appointment on May l, 1889, in the mailing department All his service has been under Post master Caruthers except for the -Four years from 1894 to 1898 when Stepnen H. Hall was postmaster.
 The volume of business at the post office has increased from $37,64S in postal receipts in 1898 to $75, ,529 in the past year. The postal savings amount to s45.S42. There is a balance in this department of s33, ,4O5.31, the withdraw als being s12,7S2.
 For number of years MT. Peale has had charge of the finances of the local postoffice his official position being su- perintendent of finances. and there is no detail of the business with which he has not become familiar The work has called for long hours, often to the extent of work at home to keep up with required reports but he has been an untiring worker and in his contact with the public has been uniformly courteous and obliging. One of the de- sirable points about his new position is the shorter hours which the work will cali for.
 NIT. Peale is a native of this city and secured his education in the pub lie schools, at the Norwich Free Acad- emy, and at business college. For two years before coming into the post of fee work he was bookkeeper at the Norwich Lock Manufacturing com pany. He is a member of St. James lodge, No. 23 F. and A. M., a director of the Chelsea Boat club. a trustee of the Dime Savings bank and secretary of the Second Congregational Sunday school
 The place of assistant postmaster is under civil service and is filled by appointment, preferably from the qual- flied list, but appointments from clvil life may be made.

MT. Conway sued MT. O'Neill to should not include this house that neither party intended should be sold. MT O'Nein sued MT. Conway for dam ages for the loss of about 36 feet of land fronting on Lafayette street and about 20 feet in depth of the lot. which the piece of land bought and sold did not contain. In other words O'Neill sued for that amount of shortage in measurement of the land that he actu- ally bought and that Conway actually agreed to sell according to the meas urements given in the deed. In the court proceedings MT. O'Neill was rep resented by William H. Shields and Mir. Conway by John H. Barnes
 There were such mistakes made in the measurements in the deed to O'Neill that 1t included Conway's own dwelling house, No. 47 Lafayette street that he did not intend to sell and also land of an adjoining neighbor.
 Judge Waller decided that O'Neill should receive of Conway $500 damages for the shortage in land that was rep resented to him, and directed a new deed be made out that should include the precise land that both parties un- derstood was being bought and sold in the contract they made.
 When the transfer of this piece of property came to be made, it was shown in the evidence that the old deed of the property contained no measurements in exact figures which could be followed and as the purcnaser wanted his deed to show the size of the lot to satisfy this requirement of the purchaser, MT. Conway made the measurements from which the deed was drawn.

NORWICH INDIAN ASSOCIATION. Met at Home of Mrs. Rush w. Kim
 ball-instructive Papers Read.

A good meeting of the Norwich In d1an association was held on Monday morning at the home of Mrs. Rush w. KimbaIl on Broadway. This was con- ducted by the president, Mrs F. E. Dove. There were interesting letters from Hampton Institute and from the society's Indian protege there; also an account of the Whittier Training school connected with the institute. The hostess read report of the Cal ifornia mission work which shows that 5000 out of the 1000 landless Indians in that state have now been provided for, leaving 2,000 still homeless. There are 1000 children without school ac- commodation Racial prejudice is de creaSing and the establishment of home life is developing habits of in dustry. There is a legal-political fight on over the payment of tuition for Indian children in the schools. From the Navajo nation General Scott was given praise and credit for the peace ful settlement of the recent outbreak and Mrs. Leonard w. Bacon read the story of the first years work of the Good Samaritan hospital at Indian Wells, Arizona. Not one patient died during the year out of the great num- Der treated. Many of the cases were described. Trachoma was the most prevalent disease.
 Mrs Bella B. Learned gave fascinat- ing extracts from Dr. DiXon's book, The Vanishing Race, which was writ ten as a result of the Rodman Wana- maker expedition. The Indians are fast losing their typical characteristics and we may be the last generation able to study them in their native state and of doing them the justice of making them fully known to history. There are remnants of Indian tribes still living in the Atlantic states as we'll as those in the west. North Car olina probably contains the most. Here are the Eastern Cherokees and the Croatans, a white tribe numbering 10000 probably descendants of the lost white colony of Roanoke and of va rious Indian tribes.

R. 1. REDS AHEAD
 OF ENGLISH WYANDOTTES
In Week Just Closed in Storrs Egg
 Laying Contest.


 The Rhode Island Reds stepped in ahead Of the English Wyan6ottes for hrst place for the past week in the international egg laying contest at Storrs. To be sure Tom Barron's Wyandottes have not quit laying as they tied with another pen of Wyan- dotteS belonging to D. J. Ryan & Son or Bridgeport, each having a score of 21 eggs. Dr. Fritchey's Rhode Is land Reds from Harrisburg, Pa. led these two pens by six eggs or yielded 33 eggs for the week. Dearborn S sharpe of Blairstown, N. J., own the third best pen for the week, also Rhode Island Reds. with a production of 26 eggs. A close second to these is pr. Sanborn's Buff Wyandottes with a yield of 25 eggs. It is interesting 10 note that of the six best pens for the week three are Rhode Island Reds and three are Wyandottes. The Leghorns in spite of the record at the present moment have a good deal of what the boys call snap" and they are likely at any time to "come back" so that the heavier breeds may yet have to look to their 1aurels.
 A pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by c. s. Scoville of East Haven h
 been particularly interesting to follow. Their production has not been phe- nomenal in a way and yet they are among the ten leading Connecticut peHS: II IS uiiueFSloou, OI course that practically all breeders have sent to the competition bullets with the ex- pectation that youth and Vigor meant the ability to produce more eggs dur ing the first year and perhaps most poultrymen will concede this as a fact. MT. Scoville has, however. been inter- ested in the matter of long time pro- duction of hens so that his present pen of Rhode Island Reds consists not of bullets but of five hens which were sent to the first international egg lay ing contest and which hens, of course, are now in their third laying year, and the other five birds in this pen were sent to the second laying contest so that they are now in their second laying year In other words this pen of Reds consists of two and three-year- old hens instead of pulletS
