Zabriske of Preston—Re- LUTHER K, ZABRISKIE. ‘Appointed Vice Consul at Moscow. Friends of Hon. Luther K. Zabriskie of Preston learned with pleasure FT. day night that he had been officially notified in Washington of his appoint- ment as American vice consul at Mos- cently Completed Four Years at Consulate at Callao, Peru—To Sail From New York on April 1st.—Will Reach Russia via Sweden. cow, Russia, a city of 1,618,000 people, and one of the most important in the dominions of the czar. For the past four years Mr, Zabriskie had been deputy ana vice consul at Callao, Peru, and his new appointment can be look- ed upon as recognition of the satis- factory and able way in which he fill- ed that post, which made it possible for him to deserve appointment to this more important post which has now come to him. He returned from Peru about the first of the year and took examinations in Washington for appointment for a full consulship. No reports have yet been given out on the rTesults of these examinations, but Mr. Zabriskie, it is known, is highly gratified with Iis appointment to the post in Rus- sia. It will not be his first visit to that country, as he traveled there for a time after his graduation from Yale. His appointment carries the direc- tions to proceed to his new post as soon as possible and he is planning leave Washington for New Monday next and to sail from York on Thursday, April 1st, on steamer Hellig Olav of the Scan- dinavian-American line. _This will land him at Christiania, Norway, and from there he will probably travel by rail to Stockholm, Sweden, thence by rail and sledges around the Baltic sea and the Gulf of Bothnia to Petrograd, and from the Russian capital to Mos- cow. JURY’S VERDICTS APPROVED BY JUDGE BENNETT Declines to Allow Motions to Set Aside in Two Cases, Judge William L. Bennett declined to set aside the verdict for the city of New London in the case of B. H. Hilliar against the city in which the jury returned a verdict for the de- fendant in the superior court Thurs- day. The matter came up at the short calendar session of the superior court Friday morning in New London on a motion by the plaintiff to set aside the verdict as against the evidence and unjust. The motion was argued by Attorney C. Hadlai Hull for the plaintiff on the ground that the property had been rendered more inaccessible by the cut- ting down of the grade by the city in laving down the new walks, where- as the jury by its verdict had not only implied that no damage was done to the property, but that it had been benefited. Judge Bennett declined to hear At- torney Whittlesey on the motion, stating that the jury must have found that the benefits accruing to Mr. Hil- liar by the laying of the walk and cutting down of the grade had_equal- leq the damage done and denied the motion. Alienation Case Verdict Stands. A motion to set aside the verdict of $1,750 for the plaintiff in the case of Lucien M, Sheffield of Old Saybrook against Alva G.- Beckwith of Old Say- brook, for the alienation of the af- fections of his wife, was also heard and denied Friday morning. The mo- tion was arsued; by Attorney Morgan for the defendaft on the ground that it was excessive and against the evi- dence. Attorney Morgan claimed that no testimony had been introduced to show that any other than formal re- lations existed between the Beckwith man and Mrs, Shefield and that the award given by the jury was far in excess of the amount which should be paid for affections of the character shown in the case. Judge Bennett stated that he didn’t see how the jury could have decided otherwise than it did and that the sun® awarded was in his opinion mod- erate. Short Calendar Motions. Other matters disposed of at the session were as follows: The cases of Strickland of New London, mo- tion for permission to_amend com- plaint; Murphy vs. McKay, that the receiver be ordéred to pay rent of the premises occupied by him as such re- ceiver; Turner vs. Turner, executor, bond for prosecution; Fenton, et al. vs. Fenton Building Co., order approv- ing recefver's accounts- Jennings vs. Nadler, et al, order that injunction be made permanent; Knit Goods Ex- change, Inc., vs default for failure to plead, oan & Trust Co. vs. Aetna Construction Co., per- mission to file motion to stiike out, and Cook, et al vs. Park, hearing in damages, all went off the list, In the case of Avery vs. Avery, ex- ecutor, appeal from probate, reasons of appeal were filed by consent. The case of Billings. executrix, et al’ vs. McKenzie, hearing on motion to reopen judgment and order, was continued, The case of Matteson, et al, trus- tees vs. Nameaug Boat club, judgment ‘was postponed to Tuesday. In the case of Forsbergs vs. Fors- berg, an allowance to defense of $35 in three weeks, was ordered. An answer was filed in the case of Pavey vs. Pavey, default for fail- ure to plead. The report of the committee ap- pointed to sell real estate and the deed to be given by committee to pur- chased was approved and final judg- ment was continued in the case of M. N. Cartier & Sons, against the Royal Linen Mills, Inc. et al. Reply was filed by consent March 24 in the case of Bastern Concrete Construction Co, vs. Young. An order on allowance of claims was granteq in the case of Gobel vs. Hatch Ofl Engine’ Co. Leavens, adm. vs. Shore Line Bec- tric_ Railway Co, was assigned for next Tuesday. HOLY WEEK SERVICES.

Jury Finds for Defendant in $5,000 Damage Case. A verdict for the defendant trol- ley company was returned by the jury in the superior court late Friday aft- ernoon in the suit that was brousht for $5,000 damages by Dr. Wallace B. Keeney of New London against The Shore Line Electric Railway Co. Dr. Keeney sued for personal injuries received while attempting to board a Washington street car on State street, New London, in January, 1914. Judge Bennett concluded his charge to the jury about 4 o'clock and after about an hour and fifteen minutes they returned with the verdict for the defendant. Charles W. Elliott, motorman on a main line car that was following the Washington street car up State street when the accident occurred, was the first witness when the case was re- sumed Fridey morning. He testified that he saw Dr. Keeney run out from the sidewalk and try to get aboard the car. He saw the doctor fall, and later saw him picked up by two men. Claim Agent Robert G. Staplins of this city testified that he saw the ac- cident from a doorway where he was standing. This witness stated that he saw the plaintiff go out into the street and fall while he was trying to get aboard the car. Staplins was the last witness and both sides rested their cases at 12.40, when a recess until 2 o'clock was taken to begin the arguments then. CHAMPIONS OTIS SKINNER. Julian Dillaby Scores Boston. Play- going Committee for lIgnoring the Actor. Kitty MacKay, the play of Scottish humor and character, sugar-coated with a sentiment that is hardly true to the one or the other, now current at the Shubert, has pleased the Play- going Committee of the Drama league and the following bulletin approves it: “An amusing comedy of Scots man- ners. Although the plot is weak and there is a good deal of old-fashioned sentiment, the dialogue is very witty and reveals the familiar Scots charac- teristics. Miss Irene Halsman plays the part of Kitty MacKay with nat- ural sprightliness. On the whole, an entertaining evening.” On the other hand, the testers for the league have found The Silent Voice, Mr. Skinner's play at the Hol- s, unworthy of their blessing, where- upoh a member of it and evidently a warm admirer of the actor, Mr. Julian R. Dilaby, writes to the. Transcript as follows: “Surely the ways of that illustrious body, the Playgoing Committee of the Drama League of Boston, are past all understanding. For the second time in two vears they have utterly ignored the appearance in Boston of one of the most distinguished of American actors, Mr. Otis Skinner. “Two years ago this spring, when Mr, Skinner, whom the reviewers are fond of calling ‘America’s foremost ro- mantic actor,” appeared here. in - ‘Kis- met,’ I protested against the omission of even a mention of his splendid por- trayal in the league bulletin. I sug- gested, as a member, that the com- mittee be discharged in toto. This year’s committee is, I understand, sub- stantially the same as that of 1912-13. Their failure to notice Mr. Skinner’s work is therefore not surprising, but it is none the less deplorable and, I claim, utterly unjustifiable. I had sup- posed the mission of this committee was to commend good acting. Even if the play is faulty in construction, provided it is clean, and The Silent Voice cannot be criticised on that score, it seems to me, a playgoer for many years, that real acting deserves recognition in these dramatically dreary days. I for one appeal most strenuously from such a judgment in a city lke Boston '—Boston Tran- script, March B. R. Tilly Has Old Book. An anclent book of considerable value is one owned by Bernhard R. Tilly, superior. court messenger, Who for some time has had-iu his posses- sion a finely preserved volumeywhich shows by its printers mark that it came from a press in Geneva in 1595. It is & work in Latin, St. Augustine on The Heresles. The book was found by Mr. Tilly tucked away on the rafters of an old house. Two slgnatures on the front page are Simeon Olcott, 1758, and Benjamin Huntington, .1760. Sunday School Supper. At 6.30 o'clock on Friday evening the officers ang teachers of the Sec- ond Congregational Sunday school held their monthly supper in the Sun- day school room. Twenty-five enjoyed the menu prepared and served by Mrs. George Kampf, Miss Elizabeth Hun- tington and Miss Henrietta Lanz. A brief discussion on matters concern- ing the Sunday school followed the supper. Alpha Sigma'’s Food Sale.
