City Court Has Case With Many Vari-

There were all sorts of variations to the city court proceedings yester- day afternoon when the case of Sheriff A. r. Marsh vs Frank BrO- gasz came up for trial before Judge James T. Meskill and a jury. Lawyer M. Ii. Camp appeared for Marsh and F. B. Hung for the defendant.
 When the jurymen were examined Lawyer Hungerford objected to F. c. Monier on the ground that he might be tCo friendly with Marsh inasmuch as their business stores are adjacent. Constable Fred Wrinkle was sent out after another juryman and caught Michael J. Kenney just as he was about to go to the circus As Mir. Kenney was made foreman of the jury that atoned somewhat for his dis appointment and he enjoyed a'little circus of his own during the hour that the jury was out finding a verdict for MT. Marsh to recover $50
 The case arose over note due Marsh. The jury, after an hour s deliberation, brought ina verdict in favor of Marsh.

MUSEUM PROVES POPULAR.
Many Visitors Pleased With New De- partment at New Britain Institute.

Interest in the new museum of natural history and art which was formally opened on the upper floor of the New Britain Institute on Wednes- day, Is growing rapidly, as evidenced by the increased number of visitors Thursday and yesterday. Tn the af- ternoon several groups of children from the Camp and Bartlett schools, accompanied by their teachers, visited the museum and were given a detailed description of the many objects on display.
 Surprise is manifested by everyone over the size, beauty and careful ar rangement of the specimens and works of art Many people have made return visits, bringing others with them. The department was so pleas ing to one woman that she returned no less than four times with her son.
 To properly appreciate the display Of the museum, 1t Is necessary to visit it several times. Undoubtedly, as new things are added, many will make it a point to visit the museum once week. The department will be open until o'clock tonight, and the gen. oral public Is cordially invited to visit at any time.
