Frank. E. Hull of Coventry
Sues F. A. Lane and
Alden Solmari.

DAMAGES SET AT $121000.

Plaintiff Claims Defendants Deceived Him in
Sale of Restaurant.

Sheriff Peter Doolan, Jr., of Bridge—
- port yesterday attached property of
F. A. Lane and Alden Solman in South
Norwalk to the amount of $12000, in
a suit for that amount brought by
Frank E. Hull of Coventry.

In addition to the attachment Sheriff
Doolan served upbn Messrs. Lane and
Solman an injunction granted by Judge
Ralph Wheeler ordering them under
a penalty of $1,000 not to negotiate
notes amounting to $3,250 given defen-
dants by plaintiff.

In his complaint Hull states that the
defendants represented to him that
theii: restaurant at No. 15 West Hous-

‘ ton street, New York City, had netted ,

$20,000 profits in twenty-two months;
that he had purchased the same for
$12,000 upon this I‘cpresentation, pay-
ing in cash $8,750 and gizsng notes foi-
‘ h the balance $3.250.

Hull further alleges that the res-
taurant was not as profitable as repre-
sented, and hda fallen several thousand
dollars short. He therefore brings
suit to annul the contract.

The suit is returnable before the
superior court of Tolland codnty on the
first Tuesday in June.

The New Trout Law.

The trout season will close on July 1
instead of June 15. The new law will
meet the approval of the local fisher-
men, inasmuch as most of them were
in favor of extending the season. The
new law is ass-follows -:

“Every person who shall catch any
brook trout, brown trout or rainbow
trout except with a hook and line, or
shall sell, expose for sale, purchase,
catch or have in his possession any
such trout, except from the first day of
April to the first. day of July, shall be
fined not more than fifty dollars and
costs or imprisoned not more than
thili'ty days, or both; provided, however,
that any person may take such trout in
- waters owned and enclosed by him for
the purpose of smoking other waters,
or take and sell any trout reared by
- him in such enclosed waters.

Sec. 2. This act shall take effect
from its passage.” ‘

IIISII I FURUHE.

Short Skirts and Giddy Hose
Worn, by a Derby
School Teacher.

SCHOOL BOARD OBJECT.

No Teacher Can Wear Her Bicycle Costume In

School After To-morrow.

The publIc school teachers of Derby
who ride the wheel a '0 highly indig-
nant because of a crusade the Board of.
Education has begun against the bi-
cycle skirt. They have received notice
that commencing May 1 no teacher will
be expected to wear her bicycle cos—
tume in the school room.

The cause of the notice was an extra
short skirt—shorter by two or thzee
inches than the ordinary bicycle cos-
tume—combined with a pair of ties
and a liberal display of bright-hued
hose and shapeliness of limb. The
young lady who owns the short shirt,
and the ties and the hose, and the shape-
_liness is a school teacher, and her ap-
pearance in the school room with all
attributes about her has raised the sus-
picion in the minds of the good people
of Derby that the morals of the schOol
children me be in danger from such
an ensemble. The subject has been
debated in all of the women’s clubs and
sewing societies of Derby, anl the con-
clusion has been reached that bicycle
skirts in the school room are out of

place and that object lessons in human.

hose. are not the proper things. _ a

“Derby, Conn, April 26, 1899.

"Dear Sir—Vv'hcreas certain young
women who are teachers in_our public
schools do from time to time appear

The school teachers of Derby are up
in arms over the criticism which has
been heaped upon the bicycle skirt,
and they claim that the Board of Edu-

room.

The teachers purpose holding an in-

pleasure. One of them said last night:

“We have a constitutional and Goa.

Railways of Connecticut.

a

VVATERBURY, April 29.—A combina-
tion of, electric railway interests in—
cluding the VVaterbury-Traction com-
pany has been formed. Just what
companies are included cannot be
learned, but it is- stated on good au-
thority that the New Haven companies
are in the deal. One of those interest-
ed when interviewed by a reporter,
admitted that such an enterprise was
on foot, but was at present in what he
termed a “chaotic condition.”

‘thn asked if the recently incor
porated Colonial Trust. company was
interested in the combine in any way
he replied that he could not answer
that question. A. M. Young of the
newly formed Trust company is enjoy-
ing a few days’ outing at Old Point
Comfort and George Terry was out of
town when an attempt was made to in-
terview him.

It is stated on good authority that
the combine will include nearly all, if
not quite all, the electric railway in-
terests in Connecticut. ‘
