Case Had Been First In City Court Lucey Promises to Close, the Two Upper Floors of His PInce Prosecu tor Woodruff Finds It Hard to Get Witnesses. John J. Lucey, proprietor of "Jack's" cafe at 1S5 Temple street, who has been on trial for keeping a disorderly house, decided to plead guilty yesterday morn ing, and his case came to an unex pected end. Lucey's counsel, Fitzger ald and Walsh, held a long conference with Prosecutor Woodruff in regard to terms, provided the plea of guilty was entered. They reached a setlement about noon. The principal feature Of the terms was the throwing oft of the Jail pen alty that had been Imposed in the city court. After Lucey had pleaded guilty Pros ecutor Woodruff addressed the court, and said he had been hampered in get ting witnesses to testify in the case, or he would have been able to put up a stronger case. If he had subpoenaed some persons who could testify about the character of the place they would have left the jurisdiction of the court. Mr. Woodruff also said that he was largely induced to agree to the. terms through Lucey's promise to close the two upper floors of the place to tha satisfaction of the authorities. Ha had agreed to a fine of $50 on each of the two counts for violation of the liquor law, and $100 on each of the two counts relating to the disorderly house. Attorney Fitzgerald said the defense, too, had been hampered in getting wit nesses. Reputable men who had been In the place on legitimate business had begged of him not to summon them in as they feared it would hurt their bus iness. He said that It was Lucey's first of fense, and that In any event his busi ness was seriously Injured. Mr. Fitzgerald said it had been agreed that the hotel part of the Tem ple street place, or the two upper floors, should be closed, and this would mean a considerable loss to his client. He hoped the court would remit some of the costs in the case. , Judge Wolfe said he took Into con sideration that the accused had saved the expense of a trial, and the agree ment that the two upper floors should be closed had great weight with the court Under the circumstances the court thought that the ends of justice would be as well serve! without the Infliction of the jail penalty. Judge Wolfe said the hotel had borne a bad reputation for years, and it was a surprise to him that the police, ex cept in one or two Instances, had been profoundly Ignorant of the character! of the place. The court said he would agree to the fines and costs recommended by the prosecutor. He understood further that the costs would amount to $160. The fines and costs against Lucey amount to $450. In the city court he was fined $250, and sentenced to Six months In Jail by Judge Tyner. COMING ATTRACTIONS.

It was learned yesterday that com mittees from the different unions whose members are employes of the New Ha ven road have met in joint session and 'will soon make demands upon the offi cials of the system for a general ad vance in wages. It is claimed that the prosperity of tee road and the general good times warrant this Increase in the wage scale. For several weeks the machinists, trainmen, engineers, yardmen and freight handlers have been holding ex tra sessions at which the wage ques tion was seriously discussed. Com mittees have had te matter in charge, and under the advice of the central la bor organizations it has been deemed expedient to make a general demand. This demand for an increase for all employes would entail an Immense out lay by the road were It granted, and yet the demand, if enforced by a strike of all hands, would be disastrous. It seems that the road will soon be be tween two fires. FREIGHT CARS WRECKED. Freight cars piled up at Belle dock and at Cedar Hill yards yesterday fore- : noon so that the wrecker was called out and worked two hour3 clearing toe rails. Traffic was not delayed on the main line and the damage was only to . the road's property. NORTON GETS DIYORCE. JUDGE SIIUM WAV GRAMS SEPA RATION FROM MRS. XORTOX. Decision Bused on Charge of infidelity George Jenkins Recognised as Co- respondent Case Has Been In Courts t Since October Will be Appenled. A decision in the Norton divorce case was. announced yesterday by Judge iMIlton A. S-humway In favor of the plaintiff, Edwin Kenneth Norton of New York. He is granted a divorce from his wife, Josephine Birney Nor ton, whom he married while he was a freshman in the Sheffield Scientific school. The case promises to continue in the court, however, for a time long er, for Attorney Jacob Goodhart, coun sel for Mrs. Norton, has declared that his client will appeal to the supreme court. Judge Shum way's decision was short and to the point.. It reads: ' "I find that allegations one and eight of the complaint are true, and, therefore, the application of the plaintiff is granted." Allegation one states tlmt Mr.. Norton and Miss Birney were married on Jan uary 13, 1906. Allegation eight brings the charge of infidelity, naming George Jenkins as co-respondent. The details of the case are well known, and have been aired continu ally since last October, when the suit was started. Mrs. Norton's attorney has fought the ease for every inch of the groun'i Theappeal to the supreme court means that after a delay of a month or two the whole maiter will have to be gone through again. ,The connection of George Jenkins with the case has aided complications. He has been represented by counsel throughout the proceeding, and has de nied the charges brought against him Indirectly. That Juige Shumway has based his decision on allegation eight Instead of others to which the plaintiff was trusting more, has drawn him into an important If unpleasant connection with tha suit. . Mrs. Norton is well known In this city. Her home is In Fair Haven and before her marriage she was employed in several of the big stores as a cloak model. Young Norton was a popular member of the Sheffield cass when he went With Miss Birney to Bridgeport to be married by a jusjlee of the peace. Over fifty witnesses were Introduc ed by the pallntlff, and much of the testimony was that of paid detectives. Detective Louis J. Webb of this city shadowed Mrs. Norton constantly from the time her husband left her until within a short time of the trial. ANNUAL DANCE. Retail Butchers and Grocers Entertain at Harmonle Hall. The New Haven iRetall Butchers' and Grocers' association held its annual so ciable and dance" at Harmonle hall last night. The affair was largely attend ed and was in everyway enjoyable and successful. Music was furnished by Lang's orchestra. , FEAT AND COAL. Coal is fossil peat. Tee peat bogs of to-day might become coal beds in some future geoglogical age. Professor Po tonie, of Berlin, says there Is a strict parallelelism between the different kinds of peat and coal. When the re mains of plants collect under terres trial, conditions an ordinary peat bog is formed. This corresponds with "bright" coal. If the remains collect under water, an organic slime is form ed, and this corresponds with "dull," or cannel, coal. When terrestrial and aquatic conditions iiave alternated, during the collection of the remains, "strata peat" results, and this corres ponds with coal deposits consisting of alternate layers of bright and dull coal. The ehameleal and physical pro perties of the various kinds of peat and coal show a similar correspon dencePhiladelphia Record. Magistrate You didn't steal this watch? Prisoner No sir.

The opening of the new store of the Ford company In the Knights of Co lumbus building, Chapel street, between College and Temple streets, where they have recently removed from their old stand at Chapel and State streets, that they occupied for more than sixty years,, was an event deserving of more than passing notice. This old estab lished house, with a record of more than three-quarters of a century, the early part of the year sold their prop erty to the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, and were obliged to vacate the premises that they had so long occupied with distinction and suc cess. An auction sale was held in Janu ary, and for tha past two months. their place of business has been closed en tirely, and all the energies of the man agers have been devoted to fitting up one of the most brilliant establish ments of its kind In New England or elsewhere. The new building that they occupy is especially adapted from its high ceiling, marole floors and fire proof construction, to the uses of this distinguished house. Show cases have' been imported from England, an American cabinet makers have been! employed in producing most modern re sults. Electrical and mirror effects from the salons of Paris, and electrical effects from the Tiffany studios have been employed, and yesterday they opened their magnificent establishment, which is a credit to the city, and which 13 the .most unique place of its kind that one can visit. It is not a shop; It Is not a store; it Is not a museum; but it is a combination of them all. Artistic ahd not commercial effects have been secured, and a visit to their place, whether as. a connoisseur or a buyer is worth the while of all our readers. Their exhibition of precious stones is beautiful and fascinating a bird of paradise, composed of diamonds and other precious stones, to be used for the hair, corsage, or pendant, a diamond and opal brooch or pendant, which sells at $000; a diamond heart brooch or pendant, selling at $825; a gold cigarette case, with sapphire catch for $150, and a sapphire brace let, hand engraved, selling at $116, are beyond doubt bewildering. Conspicuous is a magnificent painting from an artist who died in 1607; valued at $5,000. This has a group of figures, and is painted on wood. The silver, the glass, the china,- the bronze, pottery are all of the newest conceits from art windows of the world. Everything In their store Is entirely new and displayed under the most ar tlstio conditions; the taste and exclu sive character displayed on every hand is marvelous and fascinating. The cut glass represents the newest cuttings, and the china for table use the latest decorations. Plates and cups and sau cers for table use are conspicuous for their white, gold and green decora tions, and range in price from $5 to $1,000 per dozen. Although most ex pensive things are found hene, delicate, artistic things for $1 each are also In cluded. The stock is exclusively ex tensive, and people with moderate purses need not fear to enter and loolfl about, even if they do not desire to purchase, and the same courtesy will be extended, or if they wish to pur chase a modest article of two or three dollars they will find it here. The connections of this house all oven the world are unsurpassed, and repre sent the following houses: Patek Philippe & Cle, Geneva; Gor hsm Manufacturing Co., New York; Fenwick Freses & Cle, Paris; Wehner Kreudls & Von Wllle, Berlin ; Bedford & Co., London; Tiffany Furnaces, Co rona, L.

Night Attended by Big Crowd Miss Betty Askenasy, Planiste, and Miss May Bradley, Vocalist. The Stelnertone atheneum was crowded to its utmost capacity last ! evening with listeners to a pianoforte ' recital which was given by Miss Betty Askenasy. The programme was one that contained all the different classes of pianoforte playing, beginning with the great master, Bach, and ending with the Russian composer, Arensky. Miss Askenasy is a young lady who has studied among the great masters of Europe, and has received the high est prizes in scholarship as a planiste. Miss Askenasy is an artist of high de gree, which was clearly shown when) she played the most beautiful composi tion of Bach, the "Fantasle Chomat ique." This requires termendous strength and an unlimited amount of technique. Aside from this, the artist gave evidence in the rendition of this masterpiece of a poetical and deep un derstanding of the divine art of music. Mendolssohn's Etude de Concert floated' away in a most delightfully animated spirit from under her fingers, as she entered into the spirit of the intentions of this lovely composer. Davidsbun derlantase by Schumann are generally to be found on the programmes of the great concert pianists, and require a thorough knowledge of the keyboard and an unlimited amount of elasticity of touch, while, above all, the humor ous intention of Schumann must be taken into consideration. Miss Asken asy's was a most thorough rendering in the rapid pace that is required for these compositions. In the Ballade G) Minor by Chopin the performer again displayed deop feeling in her dignified rendition of thiB beautiful composition, which was also stimulated by a poetic sentiment throughout. Liszt's Waldes rauschen and Liebestraum appeared as lovely flowers under her limber fingers, while the Basso Ostinato by Arensky convinced the large audience that Miss Askenasy is a. pianist of unusual merit and possesses the power of conveying all the intricate essences contained In a musical composition. Miss May Bradley rendered the Page Song by Meyerbeer in a dramatic style. Manney's "May Morning," and Spring tide," by Hammond, recalled to the audience the fact that this excellent vocalist is endowed with a superior voice entirely under her control, and guided by a splendid enuncltiation and perfect Intonation. The Stelnertone grand piano showed out in Its brilliancy, giving tremendous power when required by the composi tion, while its soft and mellow tones transported both artist and audience into the dreamland of poetry ahd mu sic. The Stelnertone company is to be congratulated upon Its efforts In giving these free recitals to the people of our musical city, and deserves our ready appreciation of such beautiful performances upon the finest piano forts made.
