beforeJuetice Barrett again this morn-
ing,and the case was settled so far as
further hearings in South Norwalk are
concerned, the prisioner being placed
under bonds of $5,000.

The court room was crowded almost
toauffocation. Mr. Snyder occupied a
seat alongside his counsel, Lawyer John
J. Walsh, who entered a demurrer to the
a ‘ in the grand juror's como
piaint, which were that Mr. Snyder,“
‘tax collector 'did,wilfully and feloneously
appropriate and convert to his own use
funds lbelouging to said corporation, to
the extent of $5,000, which he had
collected for said corporation. The
demurrer stated that the claims in the
conit'cint were insufficient in the law
and did not constitute a crime.

City Attorney John H. Light claimed
the grand juror’s complaint was suffi-
cient, and requested the justice to over.
rulethe demurrer and require a suitablell
bond. The justice overruled the
demurrer, and fixed the bonds at the
figures named above for the appearance
of the prisiouer for trial in the Criminal
Superior Court, Bridgeport, the second
Tuesday in September.

Mr. Snyder was unable to furnish the
required bail, and after his counsel and
other friends had hidden him goodbye,
he was remanded to the custody of

Au Adlourned nearlng Held Before the
Board of Councilman Last Night on the
Altaratlon and Enlargement of Bayvlavv
1 Avenue and Hillside Place.

An adjourned hearing on the proposed
layout of Bayview avenue and
Hillside Place. was held last
night before the Board of Councilmen.
Andrew Thompson, representing the es-
tate Of the late Burr Nash. and F. S.

Lyon were the only interested parties
present. '

Mr. Thompson said he had conferred
with Thomas I. Raymond, a portion of
whose property it is proposed to take.
but as their ideas did not agree, they had
come to no conclusion; He had nothing
new to offer regarding the layout, or no
proposition "to make. The heirs of the
propé‘rty would not consent to the taking
of their land without compensation from
the city. More of the property than the
fence now showed, he said, belonged to
the estate. ,

Mr. Lyon also said he had nothing fur-
ther to say than what he offered at tile
last hearing. '

The hearing ‘ihcfi llédlhfi’li‘t

and Councilman Nash offered the follow-
ing resolution:

Resolved. That llillside place and Bay-
view avenue be laid out, altered and en-
larged agreeable to maps of said Hillside
place and Bayview avenue prepared by
the(' try Engineer, and c alletl “Plans of
this Proposed Layout of liillside lacr-
and Bavview avenue ' and that .ouis
H. Nat-Ii and John W. Sculley be and
theynre hereby appointed a committee
to make such layout, alteration and en-
largement according to Section 34 of the
City Charter.

The Council then took a recess to allow

the committee named in the resolution,
to confer. When the meeting was again
called to order the committee reported
and recommended the adoption of :l for-
ly-live-fi'mt. layout for both streets, ac-
cording to a descriptive survey incorpor-
ated in the report.
Mr. Thompson having inforiiiml the
Council thit the heirs of the Ninth estate
would claim $3,000 damages for the thir-
teen feet of their property the city pro-
posed to take, it became necessary to ap-
pointacommittee of fret-holders to as-
seen “benefits and damages. City Attor-
ney -nglll. accordingly drew up the fol-
lowing resolution:

WiIi-zums, The Board of Councilmen
and the parties in interest in the matter
of the lay out and enlargement of Hillside
place and Bayview avenue cannot agree
as to the damages and benefits to be as-
sessed; therefore

(New York World.)

The suit of Mrs. George I". Alherton,
wife. of the proprietor of the Hotel Aber-
deen, for absolute divorce on the ground
that her husband had been intimate with
Mrs. Cecilia Alice Curr, a boarder at the
hotel, was successful on Thursday, her
husband failing to appear and defend
the case. Yesterday, through his lawyer,
Herman Frank,“ N . 291 Broadway,
My. Atbemm petitioned in the Court of
Common Pleas that the default be re:
opened. On the strength of several alli-
davits filed. by Mr. Atherton and his
witnesses. Judge Bischoff entered at!
order that counsel for the former Mrs.

should not be reopened.
According to Mr. Athertou‘s affidavits
he and Mrs. Carr have suffered for the

 

untilaftcrtho divorce was granted to
what extent his good name had been
used. Attached to the judgment roll in
the divorce suit and marked “exhibit

mate wit Mrs. C urr since last November at
the Aberdeen Hotel. and promise not to have
any marital relations with Nancy if Athertou.

Mr. Atherton in his affidavit says this
confession, or alleged confession, is a
forgery. lie claims that he did not know
it was one of the papers filed in the
divorce suit until he saw an allusion to
it in a newspaper the day after the (li-
vorce was granted. The affidavits of
several witnesses are presented with his
own. stating that the handwriting of the
alleged confession does not at all resem-
bleliis.:vithcr in the body or in the
signature.

Mr. Altai-ton says that whm be heard
of his Wife‘s suit he went to her lawyers,
Booraem, Hamilton, Beckett & Ransom,
of No. 160 Broadway, and agreed with
Mr. Booraem not to defend the action if
his wife would not ask for alimony and
counsel fees. and her lawyeis would pre-
vent the divorce suit from all lining pub-
licity. He did this, he said, in order to

rolect the good name of an innocent
zoman, Mrs. Carr, for he emphatically
denies that there was ever anything
wrung between them. Instead, full ac-
Counts were published in the newspapers.
