 The case is before Judge Waller at 1 this time on an application of the de- fendant, Stead, to have that injunction dissolved and await the final determi- nation of the suit that can only be ] tried before the superior court. It is claimed that the chimneys in l their construction were designated for the use only of the Stead building. 1 The plaintiff Somers, claims that the 1 Stead building wall stands wholly on 1 his land and he also claims that he | has gained a legal right to use the

In the court room of the court of common pleas in this city Judge Charles B. Waller on Tuesday con- tinued to hear the testimony in the case of William A. Soners, owner, and Constantine Gianacopolous and Ulysses J. Sakeiaridis, proprietors of the restaurant in the Somers building on Franklin square against George O.. Stead, the owner of the Stead block, and P. J. Morley, tenant in the Stead block.
 The suit has been brought to the superior court of New London coun- ty to be held the first Tuesday in Sep tcmber and the plaintiff seeks to re- cover damages from the defendants for closing up a chimney in the wall between the Stead and Somers build ings.
 The plaintiff, Somers, claims to own the wall in which the chimneys are located, while the defendant, Stead, claims that the wall belongs to him and forms the east wall of his block.
 Civil Engineer Pitcher testified for the plaintiffs and gave it as his opin- ion from all his surveys and investi- gations that the wall in question was wholly on the Somers land
 Civil Engineer Chandler testified for the defendants and gave it as his opinion from his investigation and sur
 veys and conditions or the respective properties that the wall in dispute was the property of MT. Stead and on his land.
 Charles D. Moves testified to know ing about the construction of the Stead building and the Somers build ing when they were erected in ths year 1871 and stated that the wal supporting the Stead building and tho 1 roof of the Stead building were up be. 1 fore the Somers building was erected l Mir. Somers testified that the fool timbers of his building ran into, ant were supported by, the wall in Ques 1 ton: also that tenants of the Somer! building had used the chimney in tht l wall in connection with their stoves 1 Deeds from Mrs. Lanman of Hart ford. and Mir. Knapp of Newburyport 1 Mass, to Mir. Stead of the Stead lant and building were laid in as evidenct of the case. They were warranter deeds of the Stead property and show 1 ed that no incumbrances existed ol l that property in the nature of an, rights in the disputed wall. It ais l appeared in the evidence that ME Stead for eight years and four month leased to the restaurant people in tn Somers building and during that tim collected rents from them for such use

SYSTEM TO SECURE
 VOTES OF SOLDIERS
Duplicate Sets of Ballots to Be Sent to Men at cantonments and Over seas,

z Secretary of State Frederick L. Per ry said Monday that he had hopes of the success of the system which had been adopted by his department to secure the vote of soldiers and sailors in the service, in accordance with the law passel at the special session of the general assembly last March. The to- tai number of voters for which provi- sion is to be made is 13 AS. This total is made up from the figures furnished by town clerks.
 Mir. Perry remarked that there would be, comparatively little difficulty in se- curing the vote of the soldiers in the different cantonments and of the sail ors who are at training stations. The great difficulty will be encountered in obtaining the vote of soldiers and
 sailors overseas.
 Deputy Secretary R. J. Dwyer, in ad- ,dition to what the law requires, will send to each sailor and soldier, through the mail. copy of the ballot, &on- taining the seven state tickets nomin- ated so far as he is able to do so from information in regard to their address es obtained from relatives. There will be sent to the different commanders an ample supply of ball. lots for distribution among their Con- | necticut men and, to guard against the possibility of a mishap the ballots will
 be sent in duplicate. the second set of I ballots to follow the first in different ! vessel.
