lic dump7ng ground ensued. Council-
man Pinoeo said if this spot was not fea-
sible, there Will III dther place in the

mammary Were a'so discussed, but they
are too expensive. City Engincer

Mrs. HeKnne Alleles that he Obtained
.3,000 from her on [also Protease.
Mrs. Annie A. McKuue, who formerly
lived in the house at 47 West street, now
owned by Mrs. A. J. Crofut, has begun
two suits in the Supreme Court of New
York against John H. Rogers {or an ac—
counting of trust funds left toRogers by
her father, the late James Stephens.
Rogers is Mrs. McKnne’s brother-in-law.
He was a trustee of. the Broadway Sav-
ings bank and a director of the Broad
way National bank, but a few years ago
was suddenly dropped from both offices.
He was also president of the Mechanics'
and Builders‘ Exchange. For several
years he was well known among
Spiritualists.
In one suit Mrs. McKuue alleges that
Rogers obtained $3,000 from her on the
false pretence that he held notes for the
amount made by her dead husband. At
the time, she says, she was much
distressed and broken down in mind
by ree son of the death of her daugh-
ter. Later, she says, she discovered that
the hotels were seventeen years old, and
bore evidence of having been paid years
ago. In the other suit she seeks to com-
pel Rogers to account for a trust fund of
$100,000 left to him by her father.

A CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES.
Isaac Hamilton Arranging to Inks [told
of the South Montana.
Isaac Hamilton has about made up his
mind to take hold of the South Norwalk

tween them end the Norwalk Park club.
If he can arrange for a series of five
games, he will do so, four games to al-
ternate between the two cities and the
fifth to bedecided by lot. He proposes
that the gamesshail be for the champion-
ship of Norwalk and the receipts over ex-
penses, to go to the Norwalk hospital.
Mr. Hamilton has faith in the South
Norwalk club, and under his manage—
ment it would certainly have the benefit
of an experience that is necessary for
the successful handling of the club. The
object is a. most worthy one, and local
interest in baseball would be thoroughly
aroused. Mr. Hamilton will know by
tomorrow or Thursday, if he can affect
what he desires to put up such a games
