PUTNAM CASE HEARD.
Decision Reserved in Case of 5usbee'.
 Appeal from Board of Relief.

Friday morning a short calendar session of the superior court was held here, Judge Gardiner Greene of Norz
 wich on the bench. There are two
 cases assigned for trial before a jury next week, that of Frank s. Martin ys. the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and William N. Pot ter, administrator, vs. Mary L- Tur- ner. The St. Martin case was tried here last year and the-jury awarded the platHtfn S4,00o. The railroad took an appeal to the supreme court and a new trial was ordered, error having been found in the judges charge to the jury. It is a suit over a railroad collision in this city three years ago, when the plaintiff received what it is claimed are permanent injuries. The railroad admits negligence and the case is solely based upon the question of damages that is, the amount the railroad should pay MT. St. Martin.
 There was considerable interest dis played in the arguments on a demrr- Ter in the case of Bugbee'S appeal from the board of relief. At the time the board of relief of the town of Put nam was in session Mrs. Bugbee, a large property owner, was unable to
 appear in person before the board be- cause of illness, to be sworn and give such evidence as might be desired by the board of relief. Her attorney, jOnn F. carpenter WlIn MFS pug bees agent, called on the board and asked that they adjourn to Mrs. Bug bees home where she might be sworn. Instead of doing that the board ap- pointed one of it's members, Fred w. Seward to go to Mrs. Bugbee's home and secure such data as might be de- sired relative to her real estate hold ings, their values and the like. Now, after Mrs. Bugbee has taken an appeal from the action of the board of relief of that town relative to property val uation, the town of Putnam through States Attorney Charles E. Searls, steps forward and says that the board of relief had no right or power to do what they did and consequently Mrs. Bugbee cannot appeal from the board of relief because she did not appear in person before the board, take oath. and give evidence as required by law. 1 The city of Putnam was represented | by Charles L. Torrey. Lawyer John F. Carpenter represents Mrs. Bugbee. Decision was reserved.

The rain came down in torrents and the wind added to the annoyance by making it practically impossible to balance an umbrella as a means of protection. The w. c. T.
