Suit Appears to be Assured

In the Superior Court at Bridgeport.
yesterday, before Judge Elmer, the
case brought by the State of Connecti-

to determine the exlrtencc of the new
Town of South Norwaik, was reserved
for the advice of the Supreme Court.
upon the questions of law raised by the
new town counsel, Julge Light. appear-
ing for the new Town of South Nor-
tIglk and Judge Taylor for Mr. Cor-

This reservation is in pursuance of
a stipulation to that effect signed some
time ago by counsel in the case. and
takes the case to the Supreme Court
of Errors of this state. to be held at
New Haven on the third Tuesday of
this month. An early determination
of the question seems thus assured.

The old Town of Norwalk has not.
as yet filed its reply in the action in-
stitutcd by it against the Town of Nor-
waik. it will probably be filed in a
few days, and by agreement of counsel.
both the cases pending will be heard
by the Supreme Court at the same

on the floor of the stable. He went
to his aid and efforts to rouse himi

that he was dead. Aid" was sum-i
moned and Dr. W. H. Donaldson,

been dead for several hours. It is
probable that he died shortly afterl
leaving the house.

The deceased was one of the old-

MRS. IOTTOMI'O ADDRESS.

Well-Known Author Spoke Last Night
to King's Daughters’ Union.

Mrs. Margaret Bottoms. president of-I
the international Order of King's
Daughtem and Sons. delivered an ad-
dress to (the King's Daughters' Union.
last evening. in the South Norwalk
Congregational Church. Her subject
was "Happiness for the Year 1904."

A soprano solo by Miss Bessie Rood.
entitled "Virgin's Lullaby," was a de-
lightful opening of the program. Mrs.
Walsh then rendered the intermesso
from Cavaieris Rusticana on the vio-
lin. This was beautifully done.

Mrs. Bottoms began her address by
wishing the King’s Datightcra.a ha pyg
New Year. She then told them w at;
would tend toward making the Newt
Year happier. She said that the or-
der will be eighteen years old in a few
days, and said that she believed that;
when the order was started it was um i
tier a direct inspiration of spirituality;
"The development of the spiritual life
is the meaning of the order though
it has a philanthropic and humanitar-
ian side as wall which is very lovely."
She said that what the members are
shows in what they do but the mere,
line! of belonging to the society or
Ito the church does not make one real.

yes but they are not real to themselves

with a Battle Irain

KANSAS CITY. 110., Jan. 6.-The
Rock island's California and Mexico
express. which left Chicago on Monday
night, at “:80. for the west, collided
dead-on today, at Willard, Kano, four- '
.een miles west of Topeka. With a cat-
tle train. The whole train was demol-
ished. 'l hirty persons were killed and
every person on the train was injured.
A relief train that left Topeka for the
scene returned to that city at 1;30 this
morning. with ...e dead and injured.

The wreck occurred at 1:35 o'clock
this morning, two miles west of Wil-
lard, Kans. At least thirty persons
were instantly killed, while "rural
others were fatally. and a large num-
ber slightly injured. Two cars filled
with passengers were demolished, both
locomotives were destroyed and four

 

 

 

Icarloads of stock turn to pieces and

dozens of dead animals strewn over the
right of way. ' .
The train, which left Kansas City at
1 o'clock last night. was twenty fain-
ates late, and at the time of theacci-
dent was running at the rate of thirty
miles an hour. The train carried many
persons from Oklahoma who had ta‘hen
advantage of the homesteaders' excur-
sion rates that. closed yesterday. It ll-
so contained through sleepers and chair
cars for San Francisco and Los Ange-

The wreck‘ was one of the‘ most ser-
ions that has happened on the R'tck
island system" In years. Between Kan-
sas City and Topeka the Rock island
uses the tracks of the Union Pacific.
and as there are no general offices of
either road in this city. details of the
disaster were chained with dlfliculty.
