L SUPERIOR COURT CASES, WERE SETTLED $10,000 Damage Suit and $8,500 Suit For Alleged Agreement. ‘There were three matters on the list assigned for trjal in the superior court here on Tuesday, but one of them was settled out of court and a settlement was reached in another after the trial had proceeded part way. The case settled out of court without coming to trial was that of Turcotet vs. Uncas Power Co. Jean B. Turcotte, who is adminis- trator of the estate of his son, Stanis- laus, sued the Uncas Power Co. for the ‘statutory sum of $10,000 for the death of the boyi on June 16, 1912 at Taftville near the home of Victor Mar- caurele. The young man was _in- stantly killed -by an electric shock which he received when he picked up a wire dangling from cne of the com- pany’s telephone poles. The claim was made that this was a dead wire that had been hanging there some time, but that it had become charged with an electric current of high and dangerous voltage by contact with the wires of the Uncas Power Co’s. high tension line strung on the same poles, oll the ‘wires being uninsulated. Attorneys J. J. Desmond and Telley E. Babcock represented the plaintiff and Attorneys E. W. Higgins and Joseph T. Fanni the defendant. The amount of the settlement was not stated. ‘When court came in a jury was chosen for the trial of the case of Jeremiah O’Brien va, Elizabeth O’Brien, administrator of the estate of the late Dennis J, O’Brien, Mrs. O’Brien is the stem-mother of the plaintiff, who sues his father’s estate for the sum of $8,500. In his com- Plaint it is the claim of the plaintiff that in 1891, when he was about 16 or 17 years old, he gave up school and went to learning the trade of a car- penter upon the promisé from his fath- er that if he would do this he would pay him by giving him two pieces of real estate, Nos, 68 and 72 North Main street, and he also worked for his father as a bartender and did car- penter work and took care of the property for him. The promise about giving the property was intended to cover his services. But when the elder O’Brien died, he left Mrs. O'Brien a life interest in the estate and at her death it is to be divided into five equal parts. one to each of the five children of Dennis O’Brien. Three of the children are children of the administrator. The other two are the plaintiff and his mother, the late Wil- llam O’Brien, who wandered away into the woods a number of months ago and was found dead. He has a num- ber of children to come in as heirs to his share. Mr. O’Brien claims that his ser- vices were worth $500 a year and he sues for $8.500. In the answer of Lawyer Fanning, who appears for Mrs,_ O'Brien, he says that from 1891 to 1896 Mr. O’Brien ‘was a minor and not entitled to pay from his father and that he was pro- vided with money and board and clothes worth $4,000 and he never paid for the same, Mr. O'Brien was the first .witness put on by his attorneys, Brown & Perkins. He said he was born on TFeb, 15, 1874, and is the son of the late Dennis J, O'Brien. He told in de- tall of working for his father as bar- tender and to alding as a carpenter in building & house on CUff street. He also told of the promise of his father to leave him the house where the sa- loon was located. Mr. O'Brien was cross-examined at length by Lawyer Fanning. Frederck R. Dennison, James T. Woods, William J. Haggerty and Michael H| O'Neil testified in favor of Mr. O'Brien and to knowing of the promise of reward by the elder O’Brien to his son. Charles J. Heneauit testifled of be- ing in the O’Brien store and to hear- ing the elder O’Brien tell of his son working hard and the father said he was only working for himself as he would have the place to fall back en. In the afternoon the court was in-~ formed about 3 o'clock that a settle- ment had been reached. The first case on the list for Wed- nesday morning is that of Patrick T. Connell, administrator of the estats of the late Theodore W. Yerrington of Norwich, against Fiizabeth L. Whitford of Canterbury to get pos- session of property in the possession of the defendant and which the plain- tiff claims belongs to the estate of Mr. Yerrington. It consists of 1 lum- ‘ber wagon, 1 open buggy, 1 bay mare, 4 cows, a lot of farming tools and implements, 2 sets of harnesses and a lot of household furniture, all of the value of $600. Mr. Yerrington died Intestate on April 21, 1912, and the administrator claims that the defendant has refused to surrender possession of the goods named, although demand has often been made of her. Shields and Shields appear for the plaintiff and A. M. Brown for the defendant. The women’s prayer meeting held at Bushnell chapel Tuesday afternoon proved very Interesting. The leader ‘was Mrs. James M. Young. Mr. Dealer, Do You Watch the Newspapers ? Do you keep track of the nationally seld products now be- ing advertised in the newspapers, so that you can take advantage of the demand? The manufacturer who is using the newspapers of your town is making a market right at your doorstep—a market for you. Make your windows and your displays of such a nature that you will reap the harvest. It is plain business sense to do so—to put your own push behind the pull of the wther fellow’s advertising so that the dollars will flow your way., - That is co-operation, for the benefit of your own pocket. ‘T'wenty-thres Y Tuesday -at 12.15 oclnck session th brief address of welcome, gave a his- torical review of the local unlon Ag rphy Admist a burst of applause Mayor Murphy took the floor.

He exppressed his pleasure at being able to attend the meeting. the_ first anni- versary of the Connecticut Valley Con- fercnce Board. Mr. Johns compliment- ed Mayor Murphy for having been a member of the Norwich local, and spoke of organization generally. Speak- ing of the matter of strikes he said the New England board and executive board of the International Moulders’ union sanction them only when they were justified in doing so. He said there has been no demand: for wage changes among the foundrymen which shows the prevailing harmony be- tween ‘'employer and employed. Mr. Johns said be believed that the organ- izaticn has proved its worth and that through It more recognition of the moulders is being obtained than ever before. Welcome From Secrstary Fitzgerald. A welcome to the delegates was ex- tended by William Fitzgerald, secre- tary of the Norwich local and presi- dent of the C. L. U. of Norwich. He expressed the hope that the delegates’ visit to this city should prove a pleasant one. The meeting was_then turned over to the conference board by President Wallace of the Norwich local.

Before a good sized audience in the social room at the Church of the Good Shepherd and under ‘the auspices of the Y. P, C. U. of the church a three- act farce entitled A Regiment of Two was given on Tuesday evening by a cast of ten whose admirable work was the cause for much congratulation and made it an amateur production of con- spicuous merit. It is to be given two nights in succession, and the promise s for a capacity house at the second performance tonight. THE CAST. ‘The fellowing was the cast: Arthur Sewall, a theoretical warrior, J. Ollver Armstrong Ira ‘Wilton, his father-in-law, another, umner W. Armstrong ‘Harry Brentwortly Aruhtr's friend, ‘H. Gebrath Reginald Dudley, an lishman, erbert Lawrence Jim Buckner, known as The Parson, ‘George Filimore Conrad Melzer, 2 plumber, George A. Keppler Eliza Wilton, Ira's better half, Elsie Peck Grace Sewall, wife of Arthur, Bleanor Gebrath Laura Wilton, daughter of Ira, Ruth Rush a German maid, Leotta Oat In the three acts of the farce, which are all given with the same stage set- ting, the many tengled situatons pro- vided plentiful opportunities to bring out the laughter and applause of the audience as they were developed in the lively action of the play and the ca- pable handling of the situations by the young people. Noticeable for-its faithfulness to the model was the work of Herbert Law- rence as the English lord, afflicted with e monocle and the necessary mannerisms in voice and postures, while J. Oliver Armstrong and Sum- ner W. Armstrong, with Albert H. Gebrath, who were the arch conspira- tors whose little schemes made all the trouble, were all good in their parts. George A. Keppler, who was the di- rector, had the part of the German plumber in the cast, filled this to per- fection and his appearance and render- ing of his lines were inevitably follow- ed by the hearty laughter of the house. George Filimore also played his char- acter part well. The four young ladies each fllled an acceptable part in the pretty stage pictures, with stage presences well chosen to add to the effectiveness of the scenes. As the energetic and man- agerial wife, who was not to be fool- ed, Miss Peck delineated the part with nk:. balance, and Miss Gebrath showed ch r_of somewhat tenderer mold ‘Miss Rush was charming and unaffected in her lines and the love- scenes that her part called for, while Miss Loetta Oat did some clever char- acter work. as the German maid. En- thusiastic purtain calls were respond- ed to at the end of each act. Geer’s orchestra played between the acts and before the curtain went up. ARCHDEACONRY MEETING.

Domflan show, the ’.‘r 1918-14, e best resuits, of any of t Wunu.ns Auxiliary—largely resultant, perhaps, of our president, Mrs. Pol- lock’s enthusiasm, backed by the wil- lingness to assist of the rest of the board, and also that of the general membership. Mr. Hlll. general secre- tary of the M. C. A., & new man, on the fleld, has also greatly helped with his encouragement. A pleasing feat- ure, has been the holding of the monthly meeting at different home: which seems to bring out a larger con tingency. The January meeting being omitted, on account of Mrs. Pollock’s iliness, there have been six held, with an average attendance of 50. A mem- brship campaign gave us the gratifying number of 313 members. The dues from these, with the sum Mrs. Pol lock cleared by giving the fairy tale talks with slides, called “The Adven- tures of Nils” in both New London and Norwich, the tidy sum cleared by the Auxiliary ladies, giving meals at the Y. M. C. A. building, during Sun- day school convention week, together with money donations from some of the Broadway church ladies, enabled us to be of material assistance inside the Y. M. C.
