 Exams Not Held.

The de lay was unavoidable as far as the New Britain pOstotiice was concerned. Until examinations are held and a new postmaster is appointed, A. B. Good
 rich will continue to hold office.
 Court Tonight.
 There will be two cases on the
 court docket this evening, both of which bear promise of real interest. The first case to come up was post poned from last evening and concerns three New E~tain men who are charged With the assault of John Hines, a conductor on the New Haven road. After maltreating Hines the ruf1ians grabbed the bell rope and stopped the train, it was said. It is probable that the railroad officials will interest themselves in the prosecution of the case, as the rights of the trav- cling public will be upheld by the 1i, 1- MoJA of Britain will be the counsel for the three men, who are Albert HuclI, Louis LaRosc and George 'Wearne. The second case also involves three other New Britain men who smashed
 up the Nutmeg House last Friday evening. A large plate glass was
 smashed up by them and a general rough house enSued. Joseph ScOll- inck, the owner, registered a cOnf- plaint against them and the case will be fought out tonight. Interesting developments may be expected as the New Britain mon will have an inter-
 csting story to tell of what is goinG on.
