Stone clitters are at work taking ‘several inches off the walls of the Lau- rel Hill tunnel of the New Haven road, and- it is probable that the stone wall will be cut back from two to three inches before the work is completed. Since fhe express trains have been running over this line, such trains as the Bar Harbor and the Portland ex- press have had to run slow through the tunnels because of-the small clear- ance. It was expected that six big trains would be put on here this sea- son, and the work was planned with that in yiew. Since then, however, different plans have been made, and the express trains will probably | be keén oft. The widening of the tun- nels, however, will be finished as plan- ned. In the tunnel under the approach to the Preston bridge much mere work was done than is to be done in the Laurel Hill tunnel. It was necessary to take off a foot in order-to make the clearance what it was desired. CIVIL SUPERIOR COURT. Appeal from Board of Relief of Wa- terford on Tridal, James E.

Peck never lost his. interest in music and he made 1t an important ‘portion of the curriculum in the schools which he had in charge during his life- . . ‘After Lis graduation Professor Peck was two vears in_Milford, and then, in 1865, went to New. Britain, taking charge of the old high school at the corner of Math and Chestnut stroets. For the generation and & half that followed Professor Peck was -one of the leaders in all movements in New Britain for edycational amd civil ad- vancement. Several hundred pupils were trained under him. He was a prominent member of the South Con- gragatjonal church and served as dea- con. He became a leader in educa- tional affairs throughcut the state and was_honored by the county and state teachers’ association by elections to the presidency. The great hold that Professor Peck had upon his former pupils and the town in general was iHustrated very deci when one year the school board refused him & re-election. A great mass meeting of citizens.assem- bled in town meeting and passed per- emptory resolutions instructiong_the scilool board to restore Professor Pack to the principalship. The school board members were upbraided in ringing speeches and the dictum of the town meeting was respected. Later on, how- ever, some legislation was secured at the capitol which mada the decision of the school board absolute in the mat- ter of appointing and removing teach- ers. As principal, Professor Peck was a strict disciplinarian. A few months after Professor Peck’s retirement from the New _Britain school, in 1896, he was invited to the principalship of the West Hartford school. The duties of this position ap- pealed to him, and for nine years he served the town with satisfaction. Professor Peck could lay- claim to distinguished Connecticut ancestry. He was descended from four of the oig- inal proprietors of Hartford, William Hyde, Stephen Post, William Pratt and Matthew Marvin, and“from two of the original_proprietors of New Haven, Henry Peck 4nd Richard Sperry, sev- eral of the first settlers of Sayhrook, 2nd elsven of the original proprietors of Norwich. He married in 1863 Har- riet Briscoe Dibble of New Hzven, who died In 1871, and on Dec. 24, 1874, he married Sarah Frances _(Marshall) Waterman, who survives him. Their children who survive him are William Hazen Peck, a Jawyer, of New York, and Henry Waterman Peck, an eng - neer, of Rochester N. Y.; also Frank X. Waterman of Summit, N. J.. and Miss Martha T.
