Three Women in Court.

There was jury trial in Justice Alley
the other day, in which nearly dozen
people living in the Western suburbs
were mixed up as plaintiffs, defendants
and witnesses. 1t appeared that Mrs.
Blank had borrowed wash-tub of Mrs.
Brown, and while in possession of the
borrower a COW knocked the bottom
out. After neighborhood quarrel,
suit was brought to recover the amount.
Mrs. Blank thereupon put in as an Off
set that she had nursed the plaintiff for
three days and received no pay.
"Nurse mel" echoed the defendant,
"why she did nothing while she was
there but hog down custard pie and tat
tie about the neighbors."
"Custard pie! And who lent you the
sugar, and eggs, and lard to make It'll"
shrieked the other.
His Honor put his foot down and
patched up temporary truce, and the
plaintiff took the stand to testify about
lending the tub and what it was worth.
She established the value at seventy
five cents, and here the defendant boiled
over and exclaimed:
Seventy-fve cents! Why, both ears
and the top hooF were off! 1t was the
only tub she had had since her marriage,
and that was ten years ago.! ?"
"And I've had to lend tito you every
Tuesday all that time!" retorted the
plaintiff.
His Honor secured silence in the
court, and the defendant took the
stand, and said that her services as nurse
were worth at least two dollars.
What allied the plaintiffr asked the
lawyer.
"Well, l don't know 'as ought to
say that her husband struck her with
"Don't you dare say that!" inter-
rupted the plaintiff; "you know that l
fell down the cellar stairs! If my hus-
bond hit me on the head with a meat
platter, as yours did, I--!"
81 object!" exclaimed both lawyers
in chorus.
$50 do wei" added both females in a
breath. ..
His Honor pounded the desk until ev-
cry thing ratified, and then witness
was put on the stand to testify that she
saw the tub when it was lent, and again
when it was damaged. She had scarcely
got started when the defendant, whose
witness she was, called OUT
"You are not swearing as you agreed
toIn
"Ah, ha! | make note of that!"
ahuckled one of the lawyers.
"Your Honor, object" added the
other.
"And | wouldn't believe the witness
under oath!" put in the defendant.
"Who wants you to-" squeaked the
witness. eff l couldn't come into
court with any thing betterthan calico
dress and a ten-cent lace collar L
wouldn't hold my nose so high!"
"This is too much-ten times too
much, and | want this courtroom
cleared right out!" said his Honor, and
he turned the crowd into the alley

The Kidnapped Child.

great mystery surrounds the case or kid- mapping which occurred in New Britain on Friday night, although the child has been found In answer to the various tele- grams sent out one came which an- nounced that the child had been found 1n Meriden and was awaiting it's fathers arrival No information could be obtained from the child up to late hour yesterday morning, as she was so bewildered by repeated question ings and the effects of drugs which had been administered to her that she could tell noth- ing of the affair whatever. How or when she arrived in Hartford is not known, but 1t is claimed by one who saw her that she was brought into one of the cars at Hartford, on the evening train bound south, by two ladies, who left her in one of the seats while they took a rear car. When near Meriden the child was taken with spasms, and attention being called to her, it was found that she had been drugged On her dress was pinned a half ticket from Hartford to Merlden. At Meriden she was given into the hands of the police, who immediately took her to phys1- clan, who found no evidences of abuse upon her body All inquiry failed to get the least information from her.

Emnernl of HenrY Wh1te.

The funeral of Henry White took place yesterday afternoon at the late residence of the deceased, which was thronged with mourning and sympathizing friends. It was an occasion of much impressiveness and sol emnity, while the presence of a large num- Der of people holding prominent and hon. ored positions gave special character to the scene. The casket was covered with black broadcloth, and on heavy silver plate was the simple memorial of the name, age and date of demise. Rev. Dr. Bacon, so long pastor of Center church, was present but prevented by severe cold from paying a tribute to the sleeper, so long an immediate neighbor, and so long prominently identified with Center church In his stead ex-Presi- dent Woolsey, of Yale, gave very impressive and beautiful remarks. From boyhood's 's days he had been associated with the de- ceased. Boys together they were at Hop, kins' Grammar School, and at college they were students together. Later on their mi macy was continued when both were tutors at their alma mater, and all along on in the l journey of life their intimacy and friendship | had continued unbroken. Neighbors for { ! long series of years they had no division lines between their homesteads, which wa | typical of their friendship. The speaker
 proceeding spoke of the beauty of the life now ended, of it's testimony for the right and of the Christian hope.
 The services were additionally impressive rendered so by the singing of a quartette consisting of Evarts Cutler, T. Corbin, P, | w. Bush and G. M Bush. The New Haver
 county bar attended in body. Among those
 present were ex-Governor .Ingersoll, Judge
 E. I. Sanford, Charles Ives, Prof. Francis

 among the junior members W. K. Townsend
 E. A. Anketell, Jonathan Ingerson and E
 P. Arvine. A sight notable and touching wa
 the officiating of the six sons of the deceaset
 as the bearers.
 The remains were inferred in the famil, lot in the old cemetery. Rev. Dr. Bacon ad ded few words at the grave, which were l however, lost to many owing to the speaker severe hoarseneSS.

The Hop River Accident.


 MT. Dwight Welton was in New Britain, his home, Saturday, being somewhat disabled by the accident on the New York and New Eng land railroad near Hop river, Friday night. MT. Walton was express agent on the train which was wrecked, and runs between Water bury and Willtmantic. His description of the accident is very interesting. He, in company with two or three others was in the express car at the time the accident happened MT. Welton turned complete somersault when the collision occurred. resulting in cut on his head, bruises on his body and severe cut on his foot, which will keep him from his business for few days. Scarcely moment before the accident occurred MT. Welton and others were standing in the baggage car, and had scarcely left the car when the accident happened and the smokestack came crashing through the car where he had been standing.
 Henry O. Aldrich, the dead conductor on the extra freight, was buried from the resi- dence of his mother in Hartford yesterday morning, Rev. Dr. Parker officiating. The remains were taken to Woodstock for burial. Charles Kenyon, the engineer of the pas senger train, was buried from his residence in Hartford yesterday afternoon, Rev. c. c. Lasby officiating The body was taken to Rockville for interment, where other services were held at the Methodist church. At the funeral of both men employees oi the New England road, their late associates, oficiated as the pail bearers.
 The railroad company furnished special ! car for the family and friends of both the de | ceased employees to convey their bodies te l the place of burial.
