NOTICE! When You Are In Doubt What Whisky to Buy For Family Use, Try the Famous PAUL JONES WHISKIES They are very palatable, and they alBO have the great and rare merit of being absolutely pure. Their evenness of quality is another virtue that makes them much sought after by connoisseurs who thoroughly appreciate their natural flavor. For invalids they are a safe medicine, giving strength to the debilltated system, and as a stimulant after overwork they can be used with excellent effect. Their purity prevents them from leaving any ill effects behind. Insist upon having from your grocer, wine merchant, or druggist the famous "Paul Jones" Whisky, if you want the peat.

Many applications for permission to erect dwellings, sheds and out-houses were received and referred to the proper committees. There were applications of A.

Alderman Heath reported that he had received a telephone message from Commissioner Korper, who was called into the conference of the town and city officials on the question as to how much town should contribute towards repairs on city the roads, that he had decided 011 the amount of so $5,000, the amount the town gave last year.

The petition of N. R. Grant. presented to the council this week, will please many people of this city. Mr.

Grant desires the city to open several new streets running through his property, opening up a great many desirable building lots, which will be readily purchased at a fair price. The proposed streets are a continuation of Maple street northerly, two new streets below Orchard street parallel that street, and from the south side of Union street near the house of Mrs. Franz. This part of the city has never been built up on account of the indisposition on the part of the owners to sell, and many have been forced to go over the Ellington line for building lots. The members of the common council will attend the annual ball of the fire department.

A short calendar session of the superior court was held yesterday, Judge Elmer on the bench. The case Lorenzo A. Billings vs. Adolph Duperault was heard through their attorneys, Stevenson and Fowler. Billings sues Mr.

and Mrs. Duperault for $16 for work done, claiming $20 damages, The judge reserved his decision. The case of Cornell Hiscox and Underhill vs. New York Filter Company was continued from last week and there was a hearing on motion to erase defendant's plea to jurisdiction; E. S.

Day for plaintiff, Phelps for defendant. The case is a very important one. The New York Filter Company, which is located in Jersey, sold Hockanum and New England companies two large filters valued at $3,400 January 19. The company assigned for the benefit of their creditors on January 22. The plaintiffs garnisheed the property.

As notice of assignment had not been sent to creditors within three days, the assignment was not valid. Phelps for the defendants showed that the laws of New Jersey did not require a three days notice to make assignment valid and that it was not within the jurisdiction of the courts in this state to take cognizance of the matter. The case was continued until the law of New Jersey on this matter could be further looked into. Divorce cases took up the rest of the day's session, This morning the cases of W. E.

Payne vs. Edward O'Neil and Henry Burke vs. O. C. Eaton will be tried.

Professor J. P. Regan has been appointed drawing master in the public schools of this city. The body of the late O. H.

The Congregational Society celebrated Easter Sunday in an especially happy manner by canceling the floating debt, which had been accumulating gradually for the past year or two. It amounted to something over $1,000, and when the plan was at first proposed it was decided to raise but half the amount, but the donors proved so numerous and liberal that before Sunday about $700 had been either given or pledged.

On Sunday the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Sargent, suggested that a special Easter offering be made wipe out the entire indebtedness. The cash received and the pledges amounted to more than the sum required, though it was thought best to continue the subscriptions for a time, as some of the pledges may be slightly discounted. The only debt now remaining is the amount due on the parsonage, and it is not essential that this be attended to at once.

The funeral of C. J. Green was held under auspices of the A. G. Warner Post, G.

A. Monday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Sargent officiating. Mr.

Green had been very low for some months, his death occuring on Saturday. The body will be taken to Providence to-day. Mr. Green has been a resident of Putnam but a few years, being employed in the Morse mills as superintendent as his last occupation. MARLBOROUGH.

The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Ross in the Congregational Church, of which the deceased had been a member sixty-four years, forty of which he officiated as deacon, His entire life was spent in the town. He survived his wife nearly one year, during which time he had been in failing health.

As a loving father and exemplary Christian and a kind neighbor he was beloved by all. Although the summons came suddenly he was prepared to go. He leaves four daughters, one of whom is the wife of the Rev. C. W.

The Officers Confident That They Have Two of the Men. (Special to The Courant.) Thomaston, April 16. Everyone is saying, "Why hadn't we thought of it before?" and the convietion is growing that the two men in the lock-up here are two of the three who robbed the bank the night of Washington's Birthday, It is recalled that the constables who took up the search that night followed the wagon tracks till they seemed to disappear near Now the Gate House, near line between WaterWaterbuckry Ville Waterbury, has long been known ands a resort of the most disreputable people and the wonder is that everybody did not at once suspect that the burglars had gone there. It remained for the Waterbury police to work up the matter, however, and they have been anxiously waiting for a good clue. The place is kept by one Edward Brady, formerly a notorious Bridgeport character.

All that is known for fact now is that last Suday night police raided the resort and captured Brady, a hanger-on named Frank Smith and several inmates. All except Brady settled their cases before the court this morning, by which the city of Waterbury is $500 the richer. There was some feeling because the culprits were not allowed to make money settlement. but it transpires that the police had attained their object. Smith was re-arrested as one of the Thomaston burglars and Brady was taken as soon as he walked into the court room and put down his $50 fine for keeping liquor to sell, he having already paid $100 on the other charges.

These two men were brought here by Sergeant Dodds this noon. Brady assumed indifference, but Smith was considerably perturbed. The officer did not produce papers till he reached here and then Brady demanded that they be read in full. They were signed by Grand Juror Maurice Guernsey of this town and accused Brady of stealing $1,400. Constable Bennett put the men in the lockup.

When he searched them he found $37 in Brady's pocket and a sealed letter to the man's mother. This letter Brady seized and tore up. Detective Murray of the Association, when he heard of this, censured the constable and proceeded to gather up all the scraps of letter, much to Brady's indignation. The hearing will be held to-morrow or next day. A dispatch has been sent to New York to get a man who can identify the man who offered the bonds for sale in that city.

The full nature of the evidence is not revealed, but it is understood that it is sufficient to put the men in state prison and satisfy Thomastonians to some extent. It is said that a woman at the Gate House furnished the clue for which the police had been watching and a remark of Brady's when he heard the officer read the papers tends to confirm this idea. He said: "Why don't you arrest my woman. She knows what occurred that night?" On the train going up Brady issued the threat that he had a number of debts to pay to Waterbury persens and that he should pay them one by one. GIVE THEIR SCHOONER.

Settlement of Suit Against the W. W. Wood- Coaster's Loss. (Special to The Courant.) Essex, April 16. The case of the schooner W.

W. Wood of this port for running down and sinking a small towboat in East River, New York, in June, 1894, is practically settled by the owners of schooner giving a bill of sale of the vessel to the owners of the towboat to pay their share of the damages claimed. The judge before whom the case was heard decided that both parties were equally to blame and that the damages should be decided between them. The Wood was attached by the United States marshal last July and a shipkeeper put on board. The schooner W.

Wood has been a well-known vessel on the river for many years. Captain Charles Hayden den of Essex, her commander and largest owner, is probably the oldest coasting captain in active service on the Connecticut River, being over 70 years of age. It is a hard blow for the captain to lose his vessel, as he feels that he was nowise to blame for the accident. Captain Mark Beebe, who has acted as shipkeeper, has been relieved from duty. The schooner will be taken to New York this week.

Wages of 4,000 Operatives Raised. (Special to The Courant.) Danielsonville, April 16. The mills of the Danielsonville and Quinnebaug companies of this place and those of Williamsville and Wauregan have posted notices stating that there will be an increase of wages to take effect April 22. Over 4,000 operators will be benefited by this raise. Suicide in Bridgeport.

A further search was made here today, In the Storskewjel murder case, after clues that might lead to a solution of the mystery. The result gives rise to hopes that the bodies may yet be found. The searching party was made up of Captain Hillhouse of the Willimantic police force, Officers Cotter and Leonard of Willimantle, P. A. Weeks, and L.

S. Ryan, the Pinkerton detective, who comes from Boston. They spent the whole day at the scene of the murder, taking with them from Willimantic picks, crow-bars, shovels and lanterns. A thorough search of the dark cellar was made without result. The house was again gone over and the murdered boy's cap was found.

This cap was the only one he had and the finding of it goes to prove that he was not taken away by his mother. The bog nearest the house yielded up an important find. It will be remem-l bered that tracks Were found by a reporter leading from the house to this bog and out on the ice. that stones had evidently been taken from the stone wall. one of which.

Very large one, was found on the ice. A bloody shirt had washed ashore and was found near the stone wall. It was torn and the stains of blood were very aparentipy been used for woman's for examination. There was one more find. On the line of these tracks was found a strip of ealico tied in a square knot that had apparently been used for a Woman's garter, The natives claim to have found grave northeast of the house which is described as an opening five feet long.

Jarge enough to admit of the burial of a. body, The searching party did not have time to examine this place but will do so to-morrow. They will carry hooks and poles and further examine the bog. Two boats have been put on the water, which will facilitate the search. If nothing is found the water will be drawn off.

Detective Ryan says the tracks leadIng to the bog and the loosened stones oll the wall are absolutely the only clues to the murder. Storskewjei's apparent indifference, he thinks.shows that he believes he hid the bodies so cleverly that they will never be found. Connecticut Literary Institution.
