The gossip which usually attends

 

Judge Scott Found a

Appeaied.

Dudley E. Hoyt, of this city, today
lost his forcible entry and detainer
suit brought against the South Nor’
walk Trust Company, Judge Joseph
R. Taylor, Deputy Sheriff D. Louis
Ladrigan and others

The plaintiffs put on six witnesses
in their behalf. W hen their testimony
was taken Attorney John Keogh, coun-

sel for the defendants, motioned for
a non-suit. Judge Howard B. Scott,
of the Common Pleas court, granted
the motion.

“Certainly I'll appeal," said Mr.
Hoyt this afternoon, “I‘ll carry the
case to the Supreme Court of Errors."

The action arose out of Deputy

 

the sessions of an annual gathering oh
the New York East Conference isl
scarce this year. Nobody is talking‘
and the district superintendents are!
. not inclined, it appears. to indicate;
any changes ahead of the reading of;
the appointments by Bishop Anderson.
A piece of the gossip at the Bushwick
Avenue-Central M. E. Church, BI‘OOK-
lyn, centers about the appointment lul

Sheriff D Louis Ladrlgan serving
foreclosure papers on Mr. Hoyt. and
ramming household effects from the
house into the road.

The testimony was taken before
Judge Howard B Scott, of the Com-
mon pleas court. and a jury of 12 men.
The defense put on no witnesses.
Their motion for a non. suit was grant-
ed without the jury going out Dudley

It is claimed there was no testi-

Mr. Hoyt had several other witnesses
he desired to put on the witness stand
but because of the fact they were not
sulipoened they did not put in an ap—
pearance.

There was some little difficulty ex-
perienced in selecting the jurors.

ed William O. i'lurr, of Fatrtleld. and
Fred G. Hopkins, of Wilton. The plain-
tiffs challenged Roderick Kemper, of

it was necessary to select local jury-

were William Podmore and irving it.i

CHICAGO, April 13.-—Fire which
broke out in the hospital annex of the
Chicago state hospital for the insane
at Dunning, northwest of the city, to-
day, spread rapidly. The building is
of frame construction, two stories high
in some sections and in others only
one. it is about 200 feet from the
main hospital.

First reports indicated that none of
the inmates had been injured.
first call for aid came to the city fire
department over the telephone. Two
companies responded. but the speed
with which the flames spread led to
the sounding of a regular alarm, andr
this was quickly followed by calls for
more apparatus. By the time the fire-
men arrived lhe hospital attendants
were escorting the fifty patients hous~
ed in the building to safety.

The building was used for the no
commodation of mildly insane persons
convalesclng from various ills. Sev-

John W. Banks, of Bridgeport. act-
ing as master in chancery, gave a
hearing Saturday in Bridgeport, upon
the petition of the trustee of the Fair-
fleld County Dairy (20., of Norwalk,
for permission of the court to issue a
call on the stockholders for their un.
paid subscriptins to the capital stock
of the corporation. George Case, of
Brooklyn, N. Y.. former secretary and
treasurer of the company and Brother-

cash, The trustee desiA'es to call for
the'payment of the remaining $2,000,
and also for $600 from a stockholder
named Hallock, a clerk in the office of
Mr. Case.

The trustee was represented by At-
torney Candee. of Norwalk, and Attor-
ney Howard W. Taylor, of Danbury,

Mr. Case had turned in real estate at
under valuation to make up the de~
flciency. The attorneys for trustees
claimed that as a matter of law this
was no good defense, as the property.
in question had been bought for the
company, and an individual could not

Keep a careful watch on your 65
bills. A United States secret service
man, in the employ of the government,
of Washington, D. C.. this morning
paid a visit to Chief of Police William
'R. Pennington. in the city hall station.

The official informed Chief Penning~
tell that “bad" 85 bills were circulat-
ing in Connecticut. As far as could be
learned, this morning, none of the
counterfelts have been located in Nor-
walk, although all the banks are keep-
ing a close watch.

The bills are not a very good imita-
itio‘n of the original, according to them
secret servi’ce man. He said this
morning the money was longer than
the regulation bill, and the coloring
was so poor upon close, scrutiny one
could easily determine the difference.

A large number of bills, it is said.
have been circulated in and around
Waterbury.
