PUTNAM

perlor court, which has been in session here since the first Tuesday in March, was adjourned on Tuesday morning with out day by order of Judge James H. Webb.
 Tuesday mornings business was the
 case of Waldo TiIlinghast Sons of Plain field vs. the N. T., N. H. S H. R. R. com pany and was over 1900 railroad ties which the plaintiffs furnished the defend ant company two years ago and for
 which they have not received pay. The |. bill, with interest, is approximately g., 900.
 It appears that the railroad company through error, has paid some other par | tyr for the ties . rnished by the Filling
 hasts and loaded at Jewett City. No
 special progress was made with the case Tuesday morning and it will come up
 again, in all probability at the next term | of court
 1 The plaintiffs hold receipts of the rail-
 road company for the ties delivered. A point made by the defence is that the ac- l tion now in court should have been against the federal government as the l New Haven road was under federal con
 red which is now being considered in court.
