Messrs. Brill Brothers, the well- known Men’s Outfitters of "New York City, had in their employment some ' time ago a clerk' named Schreiber. Recently Schreiber associated himself ' with another firm in the same line of business, and by means of advertise- ments and signsused the name of Brill Brothers in imitation of a peculiar script lettering which had been adopt- ed by Brill Brothers in connection with their signs and advertisements. Brill Brothers brought an action in the Supreme Court to restrain the use of their name in this connection, and through their counsel, Messrs. Blumen- thal & Hirsch, applied for an injunc- tion by motion, which was argued be- fore Judge Beekman, who yesterday handed down a decision in favor of Brill Brothers, in which the Judge says:— “I think it isplain that the use by the defendant of the words “Brill Brothers” in script, whether in bad ’faith or not, is calculated to injure the plaintiffs as this manner of advertising their firm name is extensively used by the latter, and has come to be general- ly recognized by the public as distinc- tive of their business and when seen in this form upon the sign Of the defen~ dant by the passerby, might well be the' . ,single feature which would make an . -, impression upon his mind and exclude conscious observation of the other words.‘ . n . ting locality, >motion. ONLY FOR ASSAULT. Judge Curtis ,Could Not Bender a Judgment on Both Complaints. Attorney Gray Was Obliged to Withdraw His Claim for Damages. Sometime ago Samuel E. Elmer, a farmer residing in Westport, instituted legal proceedings against John B. Mills and the latter’s son-in-law, George Gunther, who lives in that Vicinity, claiming $1, 000 damages for trespass and assault. It appear s that Mills OWns a tract of woodland which can ‘only be. reached by crossing property belong— ing to Elmer. They secured from Elmer permission to cross the land to cutfimod and had carted away most of the timber when Elmei objected and refused to allow them to cross again. The men .claimed that they had a right to cross the property because of the original per mission, until thei1 task was completed. An argument follow ed and Elmer was assaulted by Gunther Later Elmer instituted suit through Attorney Gray" of Norwalk, in which damages were claimed against both men for trespass and assault. The case was tried and it was admitted that Gunther committed the assault. Judge Cur tis, after 1 eviewing the ev idence,de- cided that he could not render a judg- ' ment on both phases of the suit, and yesterday, Attorney George E. Hill and Attorney Edwin F. Hall, repre- senting the defendants, and Attorney Gray for the plaintiff, were called into consultation with the court. Judge Curtis informed Gray that he wo ould give him a judgment for nominal dam- ages on the trespass claim, if the claim fOI assault was withdrawn; othe1 wise, a judgment would be given the claim for assault. Gray withdrew his claim for dama- ges on the trespass count and the court will now render a judgment on the as- sault. - -- Excursion to Newport. The N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. Co. will open their series of popular low rate excursions from this vicinity with a trip to Newport, the “queen of water- ing places, next Thursday, the 15th inst., the service to be by special train to Wickford Landing, and steamer from that point. Over three hours will be allowed at Newport for enjoyment of the varied attractions of this fascina- and the excursionists will arrive home at a seasonable., hour in the evening. The round trip rate will be only one dollar and a half, and the number of tickets to be sold will be strictly limited, to guard against over- crowding of train or boat. . U. 8. Commissioners Appointed. Judge Townsend of the United States district court has appointed the follow- ing United States commissioners for four years from July 1, 1897: Asa B. Woodward, Norwalk; George M. Woodruff, Litchfield; William A. Wright, New Haven; James P. Platt, Meriden; Morris W. Seymour, Biidge- port; Charles W. Butler, New London; Edwin E. Martin, Hartford. The commissioners are appointed under an act of congress of May 28, 1896. Prior to the passage 'of this act the commissioners were known as Uni- ted States circuit court commissioners. Their title now is United States com- missioners and the appointment is made ‘ by a district instead of a circuit court judge. AAA Sprained His Ankle. Oliver Nickerson lives on Orchard street and is employed at the Norwalk Lock factory. He has been in the habit of boarding the switcher locomo- tive near J ennings’ place every morn- ing and, riding to the factory where he jumped off while the locomotive was in thing yesterday morning, but’l’in land- ing suffered a badly sprained ankle. One of the brakemen named Manon carried him home on his back, a no easy task of a hot morning. Oliver is liable to restrict his walking to a few steps a day for several days. ‘ , Has Artistic Taste. Horace E. Dann, is quite an art critic and anything in the picture line that strikes his fancy is liable to come into his possession if he can purchase it. The latest addition to his art treasures is a pen and ink sketch by Tilly, the nature of which can be easily imagined from its title, “ GO ‘way fum me, Chile—— Ise got'zblue blood. ” —A GAZETTE ad. Will pay ycu. “ He .essayed to do the same _ JULY 25 THE LAST DAY- Selectmen Must Make Application by Then for Good Roads Money. Highway Commissioner James H. MacDonald has notified the selectmen that July 25 will be the last date upon which application can be made this year for a share of the State “good roads ” appropriation. The vote taken by towns last year, when the State, county and town each paid one-third the expenses, will not suffice for this year, when, under the new law, one- half the expense is shared equally be- tween town and State. A vote must be passed in town meeting this year, before July 25, to entitle a town to a share ' in this year’s appropriation. Commissioner MacDonald has written that he does not endorse macadam in heavily traveled streets in cities, espec- ially where there are car tracks. Bel- gian blocks, granite blocks, brick or asphalt are preferable. On side streets or where there is not much'heavy trav- el, seven-inch macadam will suffice. A ‘ V V A Good Bicycle Lamp, Riders of the wheel now gene1 ally regaid a good bicycle lamp as among the necessary adjuncts of a good wheel. The Bridgeport Evening Post says: In looking over a lot of. bicycle advertise ments in a New York daily paper late- ly, we noticed one of the Place & Terry Manufacturing Co., which read as fol- lows: “If there is a Pathlight within 1,000 miles of New York which is not giving satisfaction, send it to us and we will fix it free Of charge.” It struck us at once that any manu- facturer who had the nerve to put out an advertisement like that must have a mighty good article to sell, otherwise he would be bankrupt in “ fixing things for nothing.” We investigated, and we find the “Pathlight” is a mighty good lamp. The manufacturers say u that, although they have put out near- ly one hundred thousand “Pathlights” in the past three years, and continue to advertise broadly that anyone of the one hundred thousand buyers can have ; his lamp fixed for nothing, if there is' anything the matter with it, yet only a hundred or so have availed themselves of the invitation during the three years the “Pathlight” has been on the mar- ket. This is a record to be proud of, and should be pleasing news to all who have been annoyed with poor bicycle lamps. Shore Dinners. One of the most popular shore resorts is the Calf Pasture Beach Hotel run by Charles A. Hubbard. Here a shOre dinner, excelled by none, can be se- cured at any time for 75 cents. Mr. Hubbard was formerly Chef at the Knob club, which is a guarantee to please. As many were prevented f1 om visit- ing this 1"eS01t on account of the long walk from the Tramway cars, Mr. Hub- bard now has a conveyance connecting with the cars at 5th avenue, and is now enjoying a large patronage. 4 ‘-‘ An Age of Hustling. This is an age of “ hustling ” and ad- vertising. A merchant may have the finest wares Of their kind on earth, but if he goes asleep and waits for people to discover the merits of his goods he is liable to “get left. ” Competitors with inferior Wares but more en ter- prising will supply the market, and the slow-going merchant will find his su- perior goods left to accumulate dust upon the shelves. ‘ 7 Commissioner Macdonald’s Office Hours. Highway commissioner James H. . Macdonald will, beginning next month, arrange his office hours, which he will be at his office in the capitol three days in the-week and at his office in New Haven three days, the arrange- ment of the latter being for the accom- modation of those li-v1ng in the south- ern part of the state.

It is not generally known that a special meeting of the voters of the Over River School district has been called for Tuesday evening next, but such is the case, and the voters of that district will again be called upon to vote on the question of an, addition to the present school building. The voters have twice voted down the question of further expenditure of money, and appear to 'be decidedly adverse to increasing the already bur- densome districtdebt, and why the committee insist upon holding another meeting in an attempt to compel them to do that which they are decidedly Op- posed to doing, they are at a loss to un- derstand. 7 Has Resigned.“ Captain C.
