BURGLARS BAFFLED AT LYME-BLACk HALL STATION Failed to Get Into Safe Where There
 Was $500.

Burglars at Lyme Wednesday night missed getting $500 in money, railroad tickets and a lot of other valuableS at the Lyme-Black Hall railroad sta ton when they found it impossible to open the safe with a sledge hammer and jimmies. although they smashed the combination and drove a hole through the heavy steel door.
 The burglars gained entrance to the station and the ticket office some time Wednesday night Judging by the damage done to the safe, the intruders were literally armed for big game. Only a sledge hammer or other equal ly heavy instrument could have deliv- cred the blows which produced such effect. Efforts had also apparently been made with a jimmy to pry of the combination lock
 It is assumed that something fright ened the burglars before they had completed their task. Charles B. Raub of New London, at the request of the New Haven road officials, succeeded in opening the damaged strong box in half an hour Friday morning, using principally his delicate sense of touch 1n the operation.
 The contents were just as they had been left there. No clue to the bur glars has been discovered, so far as known.

$2.ooo Breach of Promise.

Josephine Comilini of New London has brought a breach of promise suit against Ulderico Bini, also of that city. She asks $2,000 for her wounded af- fections.
 Bini was orrested by Deputy Sheriff J. H. Martin Thursday on a, body writ in lieu of finding attachable property, but he was later released on bonds of $1,0O0.
 The plaintiff alleges that on June 1, 1913, Bini asked her to marry him and she consented. Since that time a reasonable time has elapsed and he has not kept his promise, although on Jan. 1 of this year she requested him to marry her and Bini refused. Consequently she instituted the breach of promise suit. The suit is return able before the superior court the first Tuesday in April.

They were in the case land, against the Rhode Island Hos pital Trust Co.,, executors, an appeal from probate of the will of his broth er the late John Eccles of this city; in the case of N. Douglass Sevin and others against George H. and Abbie case of Ponemah Mills against the town of Lisbon, an' appeal from the board of relief.
 Sustaining EccIes Will.
 In the Eccles will case the court Judgment concludes as follows, after reviewing the previous legal moves in the case:
 'srThe appellee moved for the rem dition of judgment in the case on its said demurrer to the second reason of appeal; the court having heard the parties thereon finds the issue on the said demurrer of the appellee to the sair second reason of appeal for the appellee, that said second reason of appeal is insufficient for the req sons given iii the memorandum of de- cision on the said demurrer of the ap- pellee on fle.''
 "Whereupon it is adjudged that said decree of the said probate court be af- firmed: that said paper pfopounded as the will of the said John Eccles is his will and that Rhode Island Hospital Trust Co.,, the eXecutor of the said will, recover of the appellant it's costs taxed at S36: and it is ordered that the clerk of this court transmit to said probate court a certified copy of this judgment

the bequests to the Rock Nook Home For Children, should be set aside on the ground that no such corporation or any corporate body corresponding to such a name or designation was in existence now in Norwich or ever had existed. The bequests made were $5O,000 ana two thirds of the remaind- CT of the estate, amounting to about $170,000 or more.
 It has been understood that an ap- peal from this judgment will proba- bly, be taken to the supreme court of errors. and that the decision there up on this point will still leave unsettled the important point of whether the Rock Nook Home can take the lega- aforementioned in the will. Arthur M. Brown is attorney for the executors and William H. Shields for William B. Eccles who is contesting the pro- bate of the will.

 Judgment for the defendant was filed on demurrer to answer in the case of Ponemah Mills vs. Town of Lisbon, an appeal from the board of relief.
